THE new LAB0R-INDUsTRY CODE

The acknowledgements Charter" signed on March 81 by the
authorized leaders Of the ALL and CLIO and the U. S. Chamber of
commerce, does not signify the arrival of the millennium in our coun-
Try. 1t is, nevertheless, a document of firstrate Importance. 1t indicates
q realistic acceptance by a large sector of organized business and by
q III u organized labor of a policy of mutual recognition of each others
prerogatives and responsibilities. 1t paves the way for Industrial peace
and prosperity in the postwar period. Et
Encouragement of productive efficiency: recognition of manage
menfs right to manage free from unnecessary governmental interfer-
old7age and illness insurance; and a national businesslabor committee
Of the new charter.
1t is quite apparent that this new code covers more ground in en-
ployerlabor relations than ever before attempted in the annals of
american industry. To the critics who might be inclined to put this
document on the same plane as the understandings into which organ
lied LABOR entered with "big business" in the early 192Os through the
medium of the National Civic acknowledgements which were
IGNORED by industry more in the breach than in the observance-this
much can be said: 1945 is a far cry from 1920 when the labor move
Fnent weakened numerically and cowed in spirit by the depression,
sought safety in schemes on socaHed class collaboration in order to
avert collapse. With nearly all basic industries organized and some
12,00O,O0O members in its ranks, organized labor faces industry in 1945
upon a level of parity. The trade union movement. by general admis-
sion, stands out today as the strongest single influence in American life.
A clrcumstantial drawback in the new managenentlabor concord
is contained, perhaps, in the fact that it has not yet been accepted by
its rolls notable opponents of collective bargaining and some rabid
Paul Hoffmans of the u S. Chamber of Commerce there ae the Tom
Girdlers, Eugene Weirs and Sewel Averys of the NAM. The Wide a-
proval which greeted the industry-1abor peace code all yer the land.
however, has put the anti-labor extremists in industrys camp clearly
on the defensive. Unless they break with IN msavory and unsocial
past, they will henceforth be Unidentified as the only element in the
national economy which prefers strife and bitterness to peace and
cooperation-Justice.
Proletarec. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1906-19??, 1945-05-02
POTENTIAL

1t is an ironic commentary on American economists and of the
more popular publicBts that the most cogent analysis of Americas
conversion problems has come from a Swedish economist
<iunnar Myrdal
| has been the practice of these economsts-asde from occasional
rue IN the more scholarly journals-to bypass completely the more
compelling problems of the economy in favor of repeating, in academic
Jargon, ne slogans OF Americas capitalists and of their publicity
agents. This is true not only of their refusal to challenge the basic
espltahSt. drives IT American economy but also o. their failure to admit
that any serious immediate questions cannot be solved uner existing
conditions.
Thus It has remained for DR.. Myrdal who, has also been spo
Ibe for the definitive study of the American Negro, to raise the major
ment analysts have been the questions of a sharp decline in purchasing
power following the end of the war, the severe regional contradictions
'nat VIII occur when wartime orders are Withdrawn and the major
ahhicuhy OF eftectng the transfer of labor from n are to another
ore basic is the fact that American business interests arc
likely to have their own way in regard to the purchase of surplus war
supplies n their own terms and in taking over large sectors of the
eoVernnenFoWned plants and equipment generally VALIDATED at Is
billion dollars.
AS far as it is possible to predict, capitalism Las no method of con
Serthg from a var time to a peacetine basis without major dislocation
I'M widespread unemployment. This is made plain by the news that
cutroacks IRE already being ordered by the navy.
Since Myrdal has limited himself to ANALYSIS and moi To nrovidino
q solution, 1t $ important to make n additional point. The solution lies
o. IN attempting to provide for the continuance of capitalism which
las Hounoered from war to boom to crisis A more fundamental an
proach demands tina the workers and consumers take ver Americas
asst industrial economy and run it 0 n the basis of abundance for ali
lor Inc growth of Socialism throughout the world-The Call.

Still Believe in Free Labor

In rejecting by a vote of 46 to 20 the compromise labor draft BILL
the United States Senate vas not indulging in bulheaded obstruction
ism. 1t was standing up for the democratic way of doing things. The
arguments presented by such liberal Senators as Morse, Murray and
Eilgore show that they were not motvated by a desire to enbarrass
the administration.
Thus the effort to regiment American labor has been a failure
The original move for a complete draft measure was backed by the
President and by the Army and Navy. Then the House passed a much
lnodified bill which would have given draft boards authority over men
between the ages of 18 and As. The Senate gave its approval To q more
liberal measure placing authority in the hands Of the War Manpowcr
Commission to deal with actual shortages of labor. The bill defeated
was the result of a compromise between the Senate and tie House.
The Army and the Navy asked for complete RECOMMENDATION. The Senate
has refused to authorize any sort of coercion.
The defeat of RECOMMENDATION was not primarily due to timing
Some few votes may have been switched because the war in Europe
approaches its end. But the debate proves that the majority of Senator
were opposed to the measure because they regarded it as undemocratc
and il-advsed-not just for this time, but for any time Over and over
gain we heard the sentence: Free labor IAN out produce slave labor
any time anywhere" The Army and Navy were trying to put over
something which runs contrary to one of the deepest traditions of the
American people. 1t is hard to believe that our soldiers on all their
wide-flung fronts will be disappointed to learn that this struggle has
ended in this way-The New Leader.

Scrap Of Pepper

The Geneva Convention on war prisoners has long since proved
a scrap of paper in Nazi Germany. The treatment Of Russian and Polish
prisoners has rfvaled for sheer brutality the treatment of the Jews OF
Europe. Recent reports from prison camps o n the western front indi-
cate what we may expect as the war goes into its last desperate phase.
In the German prison hospitals in Heppenheim 200 Americans lost an
average of thirty-fve pounds each from undernourshment, all were
vermnous, and several died of neglect. By contrast, within the Amer
lean lines in France German prisoners have Jared so we'll that the
comparative luxury of their standard of living is provoking bitter re-
Sentmen among French civilians In this country the army has lately
