Bad for Industry

From our experience both before and during the
war. we are certain that the accepted American
method of spreading managerial authority and
responsibility among foremen-so that manage
ment is in close, direct contact with comparatively
small groups of workmen-is the best and only
sound method of handling day-to-day relations
with the thousands of employees engaged in mod
ern mass production.
Anything which would require a change in this
set-up would interfere with employer-employe
relations and with production.
For example there have been many strikes in
war production plants particularly in Michigan.
Detroit evening times., 1945-04-11
Bad for America

The removal of foremen from their present posi-
ton as vital, integral part Of management would
require reorganization of factory management on
a basis far more complicated and decidedly less
effective. Necessary factory discipline would
suffer, worker efficiency wouid he impaired.
We believe the effect on yoU-on the public as
whoe-would be very real.
1t would interfere with the war effort.
1t would make war materials cost more
1t would slow up postwar reconverSion to civilian
production.
1t would delay adequate postwar output of cars,
refrgerators ranges furnture-all the things
people need so much and have waited for so long.
Finally and, in the long run, perhaps most i'm
portant Of aff-tt would so Increase production
costs to boost prices and the cost of living and
make the problem of reasonably full employment
much more difficult.
Detroit evening times., 1945-04-11
Bad for FOremen

We think it would be bad for foremen If Ameri-
can industry should be compelled to make
change in its proven type of organization, which
would unavodably reduce the foremans status,
diminish his responsibility authority and in
1uence, decrease his opportunities for personal
advancement.
In General Motors, foremen have always had
important responsibilities and authority.
We have always guarded the status of our fore
men. and have provided special training to
improve their abilities increase their efficiency
and enhance their opportunities for promotion
to even more important management positions.
The great majority of General Motors principal
executives at one time were foremen
We are convinced that it would be impossible for
a foreman to follow both management and union
leaderships at the same time, and under those
conditions to carry on all his duties as they now
exist All elements of management must have
common objective.
1t would obviously be impossible, for instance, for
him as a -fellew- -HHiehst wftfrthUse under him,
to perform his functions which relate to their
working conditions, wages, promotions and assign
ments on the unbiased basis which is essential to
good management

il HE National Labor Rela-

bargaining election among
the foremen and other
supervisory groups of a De
troit automobile company
This company is not a part
of General Motors, but we
are concerned with the prin-

This confusing action by
the Board means that it is

Action Called For

When people have as deep conviction about any,
thing as we have about unionizing management,
they ought to do something about it.
If the meaning of the National Labor Relations
Act can be so confused as to promote unonization
Of management-and thus impair the effectiveness
of the American production system of which we
are all so proud-then the meaning ought to be
cleared up.
General Motors believeS-and hopes others will
feel the same-that it is patriotic duty. duty
to the foremen to industry, to labor and to tho
public as a whoe-to oppose the unonization Of
management by every proper and lawful means.
That is our intention.

Charges have been made
that workmen have been
loafing in plants engaged in
war production and that
they are being paid high
wages for not working, We
are conscious that the pub

something wrong. The at

HOME PLATE
BY DOUG STEWART

| am glad to be able to report
that the Mayor and Council have
voted to appropriate the sum of two
hundred dollars for the purpose of
erecting a new Knothole Gang stand
at the Stadium. The money was
appropriated on the motion of
Councilman Jack Hellane, who has
done more for the Knothole Gang
than any other man in Hagerstown.
Mickey Balla ran into streak of
bad weather this week, interfering
somewhat with his training plans
for the Owls, but, weather permit
ting, he has an interesting schedule
worked out for the remainder of the
week. This afternoon the squad is
scheduled to stage an exhibition
with Wilkes-Barre, over in Fred
erick and Balla has also arranged
for a game with the Frederick Hust-
lers, really strong semi-pro team
that has been making things tough
for even Major eLague clubs in ex-
hibition games.
These games should give Mickey
a line on what his boys can do and
so, by the end of the week, we
should know something about how
many of the % hopefuls now in
training can make the grade.
Catching help is still badly
needed and there is possibility
of a couple of receivers joining the
squad next week.
President Sterling is still hopeful
of getting a working agreement be-
fore the season opens, but whether
he does or not, it loks as if the Owls
will be able to put first division
team on the field. But more about
that next week.
