LABOR MANAGEMENT PROGRESS


 It didn't appear in the headlines, but just before the much bally- hooed Labor Management meeting, a secret labor management con- ference took place, which already has achieved results.
 It was a meeting behind closed doors of the National Labor Rela- tions Board, conducted by hard working NLRB Counsel David Morse, and attended by representa- tives of the AFL, CIO, UNIV, Mechanical Engineers Society, Ma tional Association of Manufactur- CTS, and the U. s. Chamber of Commerce. Two problems were de- cided which should improve labor management harmony.
 1-U. s. Chamber of Commerce Representative Charles A. Horsky proposed waiving union elections if a substantial number of veterans returned to a factory's employ. Under the law, an employer can ask the NLRB for a new election if a large number of veterans re- turn. Naturally, unions do not favor these elections. However, Horsky proposed that holding these cleo tions would take undue advantage of servicemen in industrial rela- tions, and therefore the problem of returned veterans should be worked out by labor representatives them selves.
 That's the most enlightened statement I have ever heard made by an employer spokesman in the public interest" exclaimed Joseph A. Padway, AFL General Counsel
 3 Second decision was to abolish hearings in connection with NLRB ballots as to whether work CTS shall be represented by a union provided disputes affect only one employer and one union. ApproXl- mately 73 per cent of all disputes before the NLRB are Tn tnlS cate gory.
 Instead of holding long and pro- tracted hearings, it was decided that elections should be held imme- diately by regional NLRB officials NLRB headquarters in Washington will stay completely out of the pic ture. This policy will speed up pro- cedure by three months in IS pel cent of the cases before the board
 The set-up will not affect dis putes where more than one uniof or more than one employer IS ln- volved In these cases, the hearings must be held.

McKELLAR CONVERTED

Another Oak kIuge scientist, Charles D. Coryell, went to work on the family of Senator Kenneth McKellar of Tennessee. So also did William Pollard a professor at the University of Tennessee, but now working in New York. McKellar, a powerful, energetic figure in the Senate, had not even wanted to appoint liberal young Senator Brien MeMahon of Connecticut as chairman of the Atomic Bomb Study Committee, even though McMahon introduced the resolu- tion. And when McKellar finally consented to go along with McNahons appointment, he stacked the committee with reactionaries.
 However, when Scientists Coryell and Pollard finished explaining the dangers of the A-bomb, the Ten nessee Senator actually got down from his presiding officers chair to make one of the most states manlike speeches the Senate has heard on atom control.
 Another Senator who has seen how cut-throat international race to get control of the atom might wreck all civilization is Republican Senator Alexander Smith of New Jersey. Smith spent several weeks on a New Jersey speaking tour both educating and sounding out public opinion regarding the bomb. He re- ports that the people generally are ahead of Washington in believing that the secret must be used as a means Cf working cut international cooperation and permanent peace.
 Meanwhile, scientists and some Senators make two chief criticisms of t,ee Truman-Attlee control plan. They say tD that the plan must be worked out by the heads of states, not by the foreign ministers who just failed so miserably at London; (2) That it was a mis- take to put future control in the hands of the United Nations, since the United Nations already has proved a disappointing skeleton, in- adequate to cope with the intri- cate problems of peace The atom bomb, they feel, can be used to create a real system of world CO., operation-not subject to the veto of one power

HOROSCOPE ''The stars incline
 but do not compel"
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER g


 Mixed planetary influences are ac- tive today. Under this configura- ton there may be much suspicion and misapprehension.
 HEART AND HOME
 Women are ruled by a friendly sign which should stimulate their activities, especially in housekeep- ing. It is an suspicious day for en- tertaining. Romance should flour ish under this sway. It is happy wedding day.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Economic forces will strongly in fluence international relations. Op- position to labor policies in Britain will be stubborn and naturalization of the Bank of England will cause gieat anxiety in Wall Street.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 In many nations Socialism and Communism will progress from now on. In the Aquarian age the well fare of the people is a ruling influ- ence and it is well to recognize the new order as of far-reaching possi- bilities, the seers declare.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Friendship of Russia and China must be nursed carefully by the United States, it is forecast. The peace of the world depends on more understanding among the three great powers of differing ideas. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of hard work which should be profitable. Love affairs will be lucky.

CAPITOL CHAFF

Navy explanation of why Gen MacArthurs photo was omitted from the official exhibit of wal leaders is that they sent naval officer recruited from Hollywood tc Brisbane at $7 per diem to get the picture. It was explained to Mac Arthur's headquarters that when all the photos were collected they would be presented to the nation at FDRs library at Hyde Park The photographer waited couple of weeks at $7 per day, but Mac Arthur refused to pose. That was why Mexican, French and British generals were included in the Navy's photo exhibit of war leaders, but not Macarthur . Gen. Clayton Bissell, Chief of Army Intelligence, is now on trip to South America. The State Depart ment asked him to steer clear of Argentina, because they didn't want it to appear we were sending them any distinguished visitors at time when We drowned on their Fascist form of government. But Bissell ignored the request, went to Ar gentina anyway Walter Win chell, who starts his fifteenth con- secutive year on the air Dec. 2, offered $1,O00,000 in cash for a 12o per cent share in the ABC Network He was not bluffing either. He had the cash in small bills in a strong box.

Total Government Control

But to lose enterprise, the spirit
of competition, the impulse of i'm
provement and the freedom of choice
and action, is infinitely worse pre-
dicament.
Yet that is what has always
happened when a nation, with docile
gHillliibbility, surrendered to total gov.
ernment control.
When nation weakly decides in
matters of economy to ''let George
do il, George usually goes ahead
and does it to nobody's satisfaction
or gain.
AS Mr.. Hanes points out:
"Under the economic policy that
now prevails and Uhich the Presi-
dent proclains for the future, Amer
ican economy ceases to be dynamic
:. through government controls De
arrive at static, dead-end economy
-. individual rights simply cease to
exist"
A ND so will American economy,
"A unless, as Mr.. Hanes says, we
make ourselves heard in Washing
ton in tones that will drown out all
those who are seeking government
handouts or special privileges at the
expense of the taxpayer. If the tax
payer is timid and hesitant he will
get little consideration, but when he
is militant and righteously aroused,
the politician steps softly"
In other words, the choice is still
ours.
There is still time to prevent
abrogation of the very liberties and
rights of the average citizen for
which the nation is fighting.
There is still time to resist and
avoid that complete government con-
troll which, in less fortunate coun-
tries, we have learned to call by it's
true name, "totalitarianism"

cDNCE more the American peo-
" pie are inUited to embark on
a journey, the END of tDhich has been
carefully conce aled from the
traUcIers.
"The destination must be ac-
cepted largely on faith; they must
trust the captain OF The ship and not
ask embarrassing questions"
John w. Hanes of New York,
former undersecretary of the U. S.
Treasury and now chairman of the
Citizens National Committee in
Washington, thus describes the con-
ditions under which American econ
omy is being led by political
manipulators and radical doctri-
naries into the dead end of complete
RECOMMENDATION.
Speaking to the California Tax
payers Association in Los Angeles,
Mr.. Hanes described the progressive
steps by which politicians in power
seize on economic nostrums to per-
petuate their tenure, develop policy
of spending, and being committed to
the endless spiral of spendspend-
spend, finally land in the quicksands
of bankruptcy.
HISTORY is explicit on the results
H of this process.
The politician demands greater
powers.
The demand is repeated with
every failure.
The people, lured by the shining
bait of shadowy promises, their init.
ative rendered dormant by long dis
use, acquiesce in the demands, place
their affairs entirely in the hands of
the social planners and at journeys
end find themselves in a straitiacket,
the pockets of which are filled with
worthless currency.
Losing goods and investments is
bad enough.

BY BENJAMIN DE CAsSERES

No GOVERNMENTAL activity comes closer to the
everyday lives of ALL the American people than the
post office.
Next to the law courts it is the oldest public service
in the u s. A. the first post office having been established
here in 1891.
Because, then, of its vital Importance and its
longevity American institution would naturally
expect that the employees of the postal service would be
the best treated by the governmentbetter than the
employees of any other department.
Not They have been treated very shabbily
Their heplessness is more proof of the arrogance
and tyranny of bureaucratic offcialdom.
THERE has just been introduced into the House of
Representatives by Rep. Bureh of Virginia, chair
bill that provides for an IMMEDIATE increase Of S400
year and overtime based on a 40-hour week
To illustrate the dlly-dalying method of Congress
in regard to justice to our most faithful and hardest
worked public servants there are TWENTY SIX other
bills concerning postal salaries in the pgeonhoes of this
committee.
Congressman can find plenty of time to agitate for
pay increase for themselves but for those who have
charge of our mail-NOT A CENT.
- TO show Just what postal employees are up
against Rep. Burch says that:
More than 80 per cent of all postal employees have
reached in five the limit of their earning capacity
under the existing laws. From then increase can
be had unless is promoted to the position of super
visor, assistant postmaster and forth fiat increase
will not remedy this condition.
He therefore, opposed he said
"A condition under which one entering the service
reaches the limit of his possibilities for increase i'm
earnings in three five years.
IN PRIVATE enterprises the opportunities for pro-
L motion and for increased earnings practically
iimtable.
But postal worker is up against stone wall IN
few years.
This is something to be pondered by all those who
gued by the Wallaces Browders and Wagners into
changing form of government into sociaiste
bureaucratic prison.
Government employees under the ant-heap systems
of Russia and Germany have no redress for their
grievances.
They may be accused of treason" if they
attempt to leave their jobs
That is the essence of socialistc communistic and
Fascist slavery.
1t is a touch of this that postal workers have
been feeling for many decades.
To obtain decent wage they must depend
OUTSIDE of their department.
Even when they go to Congress hat in hand they
given the bypass and the runaround by the squane
manacs
But in Rep. Burch they seem to have real friend
