Babson Discusses Labor
Unions And Service Men
BY ROGER W. BABSON

BABSON PARK, Mass, Sept. 6.
Il have today received a telegram
from a returned serviceman who
has just arrived from Europe.
He states that, after paying Ger.
tain bills and providing for his
board and lodging, he is broke.
but" says he, Il cannot get
job until I pay a labor union $50
OF more. Please wire me some
money immediately"
I am continually being asked
What will the employment situa.
ton be now that Japan has col
lapsed?" 1 have replied that we
will have showdown for a few
months during the change-over
Of factories from war to peace
goods; but after that we should
have a few years Of excellent bust
ness and fair employment. Ger
tainly, there need be no serious un-
employment while people have ex-
cess money in their pockets and
bank accounts.
Every employer is prepared to
take back such returning service
men as were in his employ when
they were drafted. After this, a
difficulty will come in deciding
who shall next be in line for jobs,
the young fellow who never had
job before entering the service, or
the man who has been employed
in shipbuilding, airplane const-uc-
ton or munitions manufacture?
Certainly, many married women
and old people will be expected
to step aside and return to their
pre-war status.
But then I am asked a second
question: ''How long will this post
war prosperity last?" To this l am
prepared to answer: The length of
the postwar prosperity depends
largely upon the labor union lead
ers.. They can make the prosperity
short or they can have it extend
over long number of years, ac-
cording to how they act. AS to
what they will do, no one-includ-
ing Observation-Disclosures. Why? Be-
cause the actions of these labor
leaders will be determined by the
returning servicemen and we do
not know what their attitude will
be.
There is little real democracy in
a big labor union. Members vote
as ordered; they have far less free
dom than the stockholders of any
corporation. Often even the Off
GERS of the union are mere figure
heads without real authority. The
typical labor union today is a ''big
business" run by dynamic leaders
primarily for their own advance
ment and profit. They make de-
mands and call strikes to have
their members think they are do
ing something.
Labor leaders can bluff their
present membership which has be-
come dociled from browbeating
and blackmail. But these labor
leaders may meet their match in
the returning soldier. He is no
namby-pamby. Hence, the impor-
tant question is, What will the
attitude of these returning service
men be toward the labor union
leaders," If the returning soldiers
insist upon the open shop and
peaceful collective bargaining, the
postwar prosperity can be bright
and of long duration with little un-
employment; but otherwise, there
will be much unemployment.
I do not attempt to guess what
attitude these returning service
men will take. They seem to be
influenced much by the feeling of
their families.

VETERANS INSTITUTES

Realizing that the returning vet
eran will, in all probability, turn
to his home community to continue
his education. the Michigan De-
partment of Public Instruction is
organizing Veterans Institutes
throughout the State.
Act 1872, of the Michigan Public
Acts Of 1915, authorizes the estab-
lishment of Veterans Institutes by
boards Of education in any school
district which maintains an ap-
proved high school.
Each Institute is open to all vet
Grams Of World War II residing
within the school district. Nom
resident veterans may attend the
institute with the approval Of the
local board Of education.
The Institute is to be operated
as a separate department of the
school and will provide studies to
meet the needs of the veteran. Cor
respondence courses, and other ex-
tension services, can be used if
the courses are taken under the
direction Of instructors In the In
stitute.
The Veterans Institutes were es-
tablished with the thought that the
typical school program is not suited
