Vinson and Byrnes to Overrule the Ma
tional War Labor Board, on which the
AFL and CIO are represented.
To Ask Presidential Action
AFL President Green announced that
the council had directed that the whole
matter be brought to the attention of
President Roosevelt in an endeavOr To
have the independence of the War
Labor Board restored as it was es-
tablishea
"We object to the veto powers of
Vinson and BY yrnes," he said. THAT
was never intended when the War
Labor Board was formed. Within the
last few days Judge Vinson vetoed the
board in a half dozen aviation cases
in which the board had approved wage
adjustments.
THAT destroys the functions of the
board and puts the power in the hands
of one man."
Green reiterated labor'S view that
the Little Steel wage formula is OBJ
solete and said that labor feels "the
formula can be revised without in
creaSing the danger of imitation"
Labor Cooperation Asked
Green reported to the council that
President Roosevelt had especially re-
quested the cooperation of labor on
food subsidies and that the council had
unanimously pledged the support of
the federatiOn'S 6 million members.

Maybe It's Me!
BY RUTH TAYLOR

When everything is crossways and
upset, when you feel that. all those
around you are either malingering or
doing their jobs badly, when you are
overwhelmed by the Grass stupidity
and inefiiciency of those in authority
then is the time to stop and say
"Maybe it's met.
Self-Sea rching is one of the cardinal
principles first factor in establishing
good public relations. No competent adj
visor on this important subject would
start his. work by attacking the action
of competitors. He begins his task by
a surveyyOf his clients business and
attitudes. He makes very sure that
there are no flaws, no errors to be
corrected at home, before he starts to
win public opinion abroad.
Maybe: it's mel" We must apply
this same routine in considering our
own relations with those with whom
we come in contact. Are people always
fighting us? What we must ask instead
is-are we. conihatiye. Have we per-
petuaf chip upon our shoulders? Have
We been interested only in our own
rights and in our own problems?
Are we misunderstood by our fellow
men?--Well. what has been our atti-
tude toward others? Have we been
open and friendly, ready to understand
and to be understood, or have we as
sumed take it or leave it" attitude?
Calling up the past works both ways.
We cannot create good feeling by
force. We cannot legislate friendship.
We cannot get full cooperation on de-
mand. Rut-we can draw to ourselves
all these things by our own attitudes.
We like people who like us. We are
friendly toward those who give us
friendship. We are ,considerate of
those who are fair to us. Don't forget,
however, that this works in reverse,
as well.
Maybe it's mel" Maybe the trouble
is with us. Let's be sure our own atti
tude is right before we start criticising
the other fellow Let's do some self
searching and some self-straightening
first
Let's not be so quick on the trigger
to defend ourselves. If our actions We're
right, we don't have to put up a de-
fenSe-we just have to tell the facts.
Let's be reader to understand the
opinion and wishes of others and deal
with them as we wish them to deal
with us.
Maybe it's mel" That's the place to
start to improve the conditions around
us and our public relations. And, after
all--maybe it is me!

Advocates SINGLE
Agency To Hdndle

John P. Frey Urges Merging
Of Is Bureaus TO Re-
store Confidence

Chicago ULNS).-A single federal
agency to handle lahor's problem was
urged here by John +. Frey, president
of the Metal Trades Department,
American Federation of Labor, in a
broadcast speech. Frey assailed gov
ernment by decree and directives" and
declared the nation needs IA return to
government by law * D.,
Il believe" he said, n central
agency dealing with labor, handing
down decisions that will stick and not
be vetoed by some other agency, is
absolutely essential to restore the con-
fidence of our workers in their Govern
ment, which, in these times, is the
overall employer"
Frey said he preferred to have such
Labor Department. and maintained
that department had been "ShOrn of its
most important bureaus" since the war
began.
"American labor has been forced to
contend with an almost impossible
administrative condition in our Gov
ernment," he asserted. mo adequate
national legislation has been enacted
which would provide Il definite labor
policy, and it's unprejudices admins
tration.
Instead of one central authority
dealing with labor problems, there has
developed practically - federal agen-
cieS regulating the terms of. employ
ment and conditions of labor. =.
Labor needs, as do other SegmentS
of our population, getting away from
government by decree and directives,
government by discretionary authority.
We need Il return to government
