Negroes Segregation
In Union Condemned

Washington, d. c. (ILNS).-Segre-
cation of Negro tobacco workers in
local union was condemned in re-
port to the National Labor Relations
Board by a trial examiner who rec
ommended that unless the practice
was stopped within Is days the board
should revoke the unions collective
bargaining certification and order a
new election.
In the case Of employees of Larus
q Brothers Co. of Richmond, Va,
Examiner Frank Bloom reported that
Local 2l9 of the Tobacco Workers In
ternational Union "bargained only for
the white employees in the certified
unit" and that the Negro employees
"in their segregated Local 219-B"
were without protection of the law.
Stating that such disparity in
treatment" had been condemned by
the United States Supreme Court in
recent cases, he recommended inclu-
sion Of all employees in the certified
unit and cancellation of the charter
of Local 2l9-B within Is days or or
dering new election.

Funds Asked For
Child Dentistry

Washington, d. C. (lLNS).-Fed-
eral funds should be provided to
make good dental care available for
every child, regardless of family in
come, and these funds should be ap-
propriated to the Children's Bureau,
U. S. Department of Labor, for
grants to state health departments
for the development of such care.
These key recommendations made by
a conference on dental care of chill
dran called by the Children's Bureau
in Washington, were announced by
DIR. Martha M. Eliot, the bureaus as
sociate chief.
The conferees, among whom were
outstanding men in the dental and al
lied professions, further recommend
ed that funds be provided for training
of personnel and for research in
problems relating to the dental
health of children. These services
would be developed as an extension
of present maternal and child-health
programs now being administered by
state health departments under plans
approved by the Children's Bureau
under the Social Security Act. To
date, only few states have included
corrective dental care programs in
their services.
Dental services for children in the
opinion of the conference should be
developed as part of an overall pro-
gram of health services for children.
Care might be given through schools,
hospitals, health centers and clinics,
and in private offices. In remote
areas trailer clinics could be used.
AS a starter on such broad pro-
gram of dental care, priority could
be given each year to children as they
enter with follow-up care throughout
the school years. AS personnel and
facilities increase, services should
then be expanded to take in both the
older children and those of pre-
school age.

Socialist Party Hits
Labor Draft Demand

New York City LNS).-President
Roosevelt's state Of the nation mes
sage was criticized by William G.
Becker, Social Party national labor
secretary, as "an unfortunate contri-
button to the totalitarian trend in
America" and "a slap in the face to
the leaders Of our labor movement" in
a statement released by the Socialist
Party here. Becker said in part:
president Roosevelt's state of the
nation message should be labeled
-Four Drafts - No Four Freedoms,
since it called for drafting 4F's,
nurses, labor and postwar military
conscription. 1t was an unfortunate
contribution TO the totalitarian trend
in America. In mixing vague general
tiles with some specific points it was
blatantly vague where it attempted
to appeal TO the progressive ideals
and hopes of the American people,
but specific, very specific, where it
asked for further RECOMMENDATION of
the American people.
"At time when a military expert
of the standing Of Hanson Baldwin
has raised grave questions regarding
the efficiency and ability of our mill
tary procurement apparatus, Roose
welt made no suggestion of invest-
eating this situation, Less than a
month after Senator James Mead
stated that he had reports that the
military was wasting and boarding
labor, the President seeks, again, the
draft Of labor rather than serious
survey into the present use of labor
by the military. He said backs,
which were after all ordered by the
government, contributed to the de-
cline in production, but offers as his
only way Of increasing production a
labor draft. This is not our concept
of responsible leadership for democ-
racy."

HALIFAX LABOR ASKS
JOB STERILIZATION
POSTWAR PROGRAM

Halifax, N. S. OLNS).-A delega-
tion representing the Trades and
Labor Councils for the Halifax and
Liverpool districts spent 81 hours
with the provincial government in a
conference to discuss ways and
means advanced by the two councils
for stabilizing employment after the
war. A brief with 26 points was sub
mitted by the delegation.
Payment of the old age pensions at
60 instead of the prevailing 10, was
urged. Changes to the workmen's
compensation act were asked for as
follows: weekly minimum be raised
to SIS; all occupational diseases not
now covered be included; inshoro
fishermen be brought under the act !;
compensation to be based on the reg
ular earnings at the time of an acci-
dent for a full week.
Labor representation was request
ed on government boards and COM
missions. Extension of hydro power
under government auspices was
stressed as a way to improve indus
trial conditions. Cooperation with the
dominion government in continuing
the airplane industry after the war
was given special attention as was an
effort launched by Halifax labor to
have the Acadia sugar refinery re-
opened. Minimum wages in all indus
tries were sought The delegation
was received cordially.

There is not a factory in thi:
country which could not easily i'm
prove its utilization to this. degree.
"Resulting action could add the
equivalent of 5OO,OCO to 100000 to the
labor force"
Mr.. Bewkes cited numerous specific
instances of far greater Increases in
manpower utilization and productivity
following surveys by his bureau.
His report provides powerful
argument for supporters of legisla-
tion now being debated in the Senate
to empower the War Manpower Com
mission to investigate labor waste,
overstaffing and other conditions
which result in ineffective use of ex-
isting manpower.
"Absenteeism, turnover and NAL
use of labor are still widespread" Mr..
Bewkes declared in his report. "No
amount of generalized campaigns to
remedy this situation will keep work
ers in plants if the working condi-
facilities are primitive, or if the liv-
ing conditions outside of working
hours are detrimental.
"The causes of turnover and absen-
teeism have got to be singled out and
removed plant by plant. Then again,
the working conditions may be very
good, but the use of the workers may
be very wasteful The supervision
may be poor, provision for training
workers may be lacking, the layou.
of the work too cumbersome, progress
sive upgrading may be overlooked,
the plant may be greatly overstaffed.
In the last analysis, it is only on a
plant by plant basis that these causes
can be isolated and dealt with, for
there is no single cause for absen-
teeism, turnover or wasted produc-
tivity.
There is always some pattern of
causes which must be traced out in
each plant suffering from malptiliza-
tion. This has to be done by manage
ment and labor, either through their
own efforts or with the assistance of
competent and trained personnel
brought in from the outside or sup
piled by Government services"
Mr.. Bewkes recommended that the
National Management-Labor Policy
Committee of the VINO "might very
well be the spearhead of this expand
ed effort"
