G. NJ. Workers To Vote
One day later, the same ques-
ton will be asked of General
Motors workers. These two votes
alone will cover more than 470,-
900 workers.
First postwar wage raise was
also formally announced last
week from South Bend, Ind,
where Local of the UAW and
the Studebaker Corp. manage
ment agreed to an hourly wage
raise of 12c an hour. This was
taken by the union with the
stipulation that when the auto
industries in the Detroit area
get their wage increases the
Studebaker wage rate will be
further increased to m a C h
them"
How the general 500 payroll
increase will be actually appor-
toned was set by the UAW
board as follows: Approximately
3% to correct inequalities in
wages as between plants; ap-
proximately 196 to correct in
equities within the plant; 80
to establish social security bene-
fits of free disqualification, sur
gerry, sick pay and death bene-
fits to UAW-CIO members. All of
the rest of the 309o, or about
23%o, to be used in an across
the-board raise of so many cents
per hour, the same raise to be
given to everyone in the corpo-
ration or plant after the correc-
ton of inequities.

LESS TALK, MORE ACTION

LESS IALh, MORC AOAAON
Candor compels the admission
that Lewis Schwellenbach has
not exactly distinguished him
self in the few months that he
has held office as secretary of
labor. This opinion prevails in
labor circles despite the high
hopes which were held out for
him at the time of his appoint
ment to succeed Miss Perkins.
The general feeling about
Judge Schwellenbach is that he
seems to want to coordinate ev-
erything in sight into the Labor
Department without being too
sure about why it is necessary
and whether he would have the
authority. There isn't anybody
around here who believes that
the labor secretary has clearly
worked out what he thinks the
functions of labor department
ought = to be in the first place.
Such conception, it would seem
should have been an indispen-
sable condition of overall re-
organization.
That he proceeded to air his
views about how this and that
agency belongs in the Labor De-
partment, without having settled
for himself the basic question of
why" is something that has dis
turbed many labor people who
feel generally we'll disposed to
the secretary. All of this is not
to deny the essential validity of
getting all of the agencies con-
cerned with labor matters into
the Labor Department. But that
is only part of the story. What
is going to be done with the
agencies if and when you get
them into the department?
"COORDINATION-ITIS"
Some of us who have been
here for a long time have the
feeling that the secretary is
showing the early symptoms of
an occupational disease quite
common among top administra-
tors. The disease is known as
"coordination-itis." According to
the theory of "coordination-itis," !"
all you need to do in order to
get things done in Washington is
to pile one agency over another.
Needless to say, when this is all
that is done it amounts to one
more signature on a piece of pa
per before action results on any
particular problem.
Here is how coordination-itis
works out practically. With the
wave of strikes breaking over
the country the newspapers were
full of dope" stories (Which
were never denied) that Presi-
dent Truman was going to ap-
prove a secret formula which
Judge Schwellenbach had SUBJ
mitted to him for ending this un-
rest. The secret formula finally
broke. What was it? The coor-
dination into the Labor Depart
ment of the battered remains of
three agencies: War ManpoWer
Commission, War Labor Board
and the Retraining and Reem-
ployment Administration. The
first two agencies were uttering
their last mortal breaths-the
last agency had never even come
alive.
FORMULA FAILS
The War Labor Board mem
bers had not even been told of
the burial grounds until a few
hours before the obituary notice
was read by the President. AS if
this wasn't enough it was an

FORMULA FAILS


The War Labor Board men,
bers had not even been told of
the burial grounds until a few
hours before the obituary notice
was read by the President. AS if
this wasn't enough it was an
nounced that a director of the
Cancellation Service would be
appointed who would promptly
move in" to settle for all time
the Detroit strikes. AS anyone
who reads the newspapers knows
the formula for ending labor un-
rest did not do so. AS a matter
OF fact, there are more strikes
going on now.
The secretary's testimony be-
fore the Senate Committee hear
ing the 65-cent-an-hour mini
mum wage proposal did not
show very profound command
OF the facts. What appeared to
be a noticeable lack of a prep
aration did not endear Mr..
SchWellenbach to labor people
who are waging an intensive
campaign in behalf of the pro-
posed legislation.
Here is the prescription which
friends of the secretary in the
labor movement suggest: II A
60-day moratorium on state
ments proclaiming the need for
absorbing this or that agency
into the Labor Department: q
The development of a program
for the Labor Department based
on systematic investigation
and consultation with labor
groups; 81 After all of this is
done, the announcement of a reak
soned and rounded plan for the
reorganization of the depart
ment.

out that the article was very
much out of date-and he was en-
tirely right.
We are usually very careful
about closely reading the various
releases we receive from Wash

up on that one, since the story
concerned the restrictions on
travel, which, of course. were
lifted some time ago.
