NLRB Thursday on
Tenth Anniversary


The National Labor Relations
Board will be 10 years old next
Thursday and will get new chair
man on the anniversary.
1t. Paul M. HerZog, former New
York State Labor Relations Board
chief, who has been serving in the
Navy labor relations division, will
lay aside his naval uniform on that
day and take up the civilian task OF
running the NLRB. He will take
his oath on the anniversary of the
Wagner Labor Relations Act.
The 38-year -old naval officer will
succeed retiring Harry A. Mills on
the three-man board.
During the boards 10 years Of
operation it has handled $4,000
cases, re-instated 100000 workers in
their jobs and ordered SO 9,000, 900 in
back pay for 10000 employees.
OF the $4,000 cases more than g.
900 were disposed of without ne
eessity OF hearings. This took care
of 90 per cent of the cases involv-
ing alleged unfair labor practices
and n per cent of those involving
representation. However, in the
past 10 months there has been q
marked trend away from informal
settlements which the board says
may very well spring from con-
tentiousness of parties, insisting on
their rights rather than trying to
amicably adjust differences"
Here are some figures the board
has compiled in its 10-year box
score.
Over 1000 union disestablished;
over 5000 cases in which collective
bargaining was begun: some "a, ,00C

rate bill. already passed by both
houses.
The present minimum cost of the
police-flre pay increase over old
basic levels, is estimated at about
$1,410, 900, not counting increases in
pensions of men already retired,
which was also approved. The cost
would go up as vacant jobs are
filed. The District would not bear
the whole cost if the President signs
the Herbert bill transferring park
police costs to the Interior Depart

United States at least $182, $50 at

The Hebert bill has been fought

by the Senate without a ripple.
AT present, the District pays the
cost of rs of the 108 authorized
Park Police who are under the ex-
elusive control and jurisdiction of
Federal authorities. Both the House
and Senate District Committees
stated in their reports there was

Capitol Hill officials said yester-
day they believed that with the
signature of the Hebert bill, the
Interior Department would begin at
once to absorb the costs of the
Park Police now on the District
payroll Since no appropriation for
this purpose has yet been placed be-
fore Congress, it was assumed the
Interior Department would submit
sometime in the fall a deficiency

tirluance of price, ration and some
manpower controls.
VI day, he said, will be no more
of "a magic date than was We day
in so far as an immediate return
to ipeacetime life is concerned, al
though it will be signal for remov-
ing most wartime controls. He ex-
planned, however, that it probably
will be necessary to restrict use OF
such things as tin and rubber, main
tain some control over prices and
wages, and continue efforts to di-
rect the bulk of the output of such
things as textiles and shoes into
low and medium priced field.
Mr.. VinSon stressed the impor-
tance to our peacetime economic
health of building up the civilian
production to the point where it will
take the place of most of the Gov
ernment's huge wartime purchases
Better Living Ahead.
AFTER the war, the American
economy must be dynamic, with
expanding business, expanding mar
kets, expanding employment and
opportunity, he said. "The Ameri-
can people are in the pleasant
predicament of having to learn to
live so per cent better than they
have ever lived before. Only the
defeatest can scoff at this inescapa-
BILE fact that we must build our
economy on that basis"
The vast reservoir of liquid as
SETS that were built up in the hands
of the public during the war, plus
the great pent-up demand for goods,
he said, "can be a self-starter to
our postwar economy, and If ham
died right, fly wheel for years TO
come"
Mr.. Vinson described in detail a
nine-point program, which he said
was q postwar economic charter
to insure a steadily rising living
standard. The program in brief:
/. A complete modernization OF
tax laws to help achieve stable high
levels of employment and produc-
ton.
2. A program to encourage small
business, Just as was undertaken In
wartime and encourage the birth OF
new business.
8. A fair, vigorous antimonopoly
program appropriations to enforce
antitrust laws have been too sfnalD
because competition is a keystone tc
our free society.
World Trade Encouraged.
4. Measures 10 reduce industrial
strife, the broadening of the mini.
mum wage laws and the encourage
ment of a high wage policy by busi-
ness.
5. The breaking down Of artificia,
barriers to foreign trade and posi-.
tive measure to encourage worlo
trade.
6. The broadening and expansion
of unemployment compensation
old age pensions, health and educa-
tion programs of Federal, State
and local governments.
7. Measures to assure the farm
population an opportunity to enjoy
the same standard Of living, health
and educational facilities as the rest
of the American people.

He told the press conference he
did not intend to imply he favored
compulsory arbitration of labor dis
putes as called for in the labor re-
lations bill recently introduced in
the Senate. He added he had only
casual acquaintance" with the
bill introduced by Senators Ball
Burton and Hatch and was not in
position to comment on it.
Mr.. Vinson indicated that II
would not be necessary to change
the much-criticized surplus dis
posal law to facilitate orderly sale
of war property, saying, by ano
large, it is becoming increasingly
evident that adherence to the spirit
and even the letter-of the Sur
plus Property Act does not present
insurmountable obstacles"
