TAFT SUBSTITUTE MEASURE.
THIS ACTION OF THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL is BASED
UPON THE FACT THAT THE MAY BILL PROVIDES FOR
CONFUSION AND INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE AND

PASSAGE OF THE MAY BILL WOULD SERIOUSLY AT
Feet THE MORALE OF CIVILIAN WORKERS AND WOULD
SERVE TO LOWER EFFICIENCY AND CAUSE WIDESPREAD
RESENTMENT AMONG THE WORKERS OF THE NATION.

LET THE WORKERS OF THE NATION CONTINUE TO
DEMONSTRATE THAT FREE LABOR is MORE EFFICIENT

NAH RULE BRINGS
JUMP IN ACCIDENTS

London (ILNS).-Accidents among
workers in Holland increased serious
ly during the German occupation, DR..
N. A. Halbertsma, Professor of Light
ing Technique at the University Of
Utrecht, said here, in addressing the
International Labor Organization
committee meeting on accident pre-
vention in factories.
After liberation is completed, he
said, Holland will be unable to reach
her pre-war safety level in industry
without considerable help from
abroad. lie attributed the rise in in
dustrial accidents under the Germans
to 8 factors, physical, physiological
and psychological.
The first had to do with lack of
materials needed for safety devices,
such as suitable factory clothing and
protective gloves and glasses. The
second arose from weakening Of
workers physique through lack of
food. The third developed from neg
lect OF slight injuries or even the de-
liberate causing Of such injuries as &
form of sabotage of German-controli-
ed industry.

Educators Meeting
Opposes COnscriptiOn

New York City (lLNS) "A strong
ly worded resolution condemning any
kind OF peacetime military conscrip-
tion as waste Of time and money
and an invitation to future wars was
adopted here by the American Edu-
cation Fellowship following lively de
bate. The organization was holding a
New York conference for parents and
teachers at the Hotel New Yorker.
Leading the supporters Of the reso-
luton was Mrs. johanna M, Lindlof,
former member of the Board of Edu-
cation, who declared that the opposi-
tion was engaging in 'dilly-dalIying"
tactics. Everything education has
ever stood for is opposed TO peace
time conscription,' she said vehem-
emily.
The 1000 educators and parents
present also adopted a resolution
fayoring the setting up Of a world
government, but amended it 10 strike
out a passage declaring it should be
modelled after the federal system Of
the United States.

$500 Disputes
Settled---Truc

Washington, d. C.-The L. S. Con-
ciliation Service settled 16,500 labor
industrial disputes involving more
than six million workers, thus pre-
venting many strikes, Assistant Sec
retary Of Labor Dan w. Tracy de-
clared in a radio review of the de-
partment's activities during the past
fiscal year.
"Bear in mind that the working
time saved in this way went into pro
duction of war material for all our
fighting fronts," he emphasized.
Attacking propaganda about high
wartime wages, Mr.. Tracy pointed
out that the Wage-Hour and Public
Contracts Division in the past year
found that more than 18 million dol
lars in back wages was due to more
than half million workers, many of
whom had been paid less than the 40
cent an hour minimum required by
the Fair Labor Standards Act.
He pointed out that women workers
have been rendered important services
by the Women's Bureau of the de-
partment which kept a watchful eye
over conditions of employment and
helped to increase production.
The safety activities of the Divi-
sion of Labor Standards, Mr.. Tracy
said, resulted in a marked reduction
of onrthe-jo accidents in threerquar-
ters of the plants that enlisted the
departments help. This reduction OF
accidents, he explained, constituted a
great saving in human suffering and
in labor available for the war pro-
gram.
1t will also draft reports on post
war action necessary to establish eco
nomic and social security in America
when the fighting ends.

N. Y. Strike Time
Loss Lost Year
IAt New Low

New York City QLNS). - Total
man-days of work lost in New York
as the result of strikes appear to have
been fewer in 1914 than in any year
since the State Board of Mediation
has been in existence, the board said
in it's annual report.
Labor's mo strike" pledge, made
shortly after Pearl Harbor, was
broadly observed in New York state,
according to the board, which said it
had knowledge of only % strikes in
volving 1854 employees.
This figure was in contrast to 81
strikes involving 8,473 employees re-
ported in 1943, and an average of
more than 500 strikes involving 49,
eco employees each year in 1910,
1871 and 1912.
Of the % strikes occurring in 1914,
the board said, it was successful in
obtaining a settlement in 90 Of them
involving 11,157 employees.
"This speedy settlement Of strikes
after the Board of Mediation enters
the situation" the report declared,
"lends further weight to the often
stated opinion expressed by the board
that calm, rational discussion before
an impartial state official interested
only in the establishment and main
tenance of industrial peace can settle
most of the problems and difficulties
that daily confront management and
labor in their industrial relations"

Wur Labor Bo0Yd
Charged With
Violating Pact

Chicago 0LNS). "The American
Federation of Labor has charged the
National War Labor Board with vio-
lating its agreement with the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board by ap-
proving wage increases for employees
Of the Automatic Transportation Co.
during AN election campaign at the
plant.
The AFL organization, Federal La
Dor Union No 2362S, filed a petition
with the NLRB, asking that the cleo
tion results be set aside and charging
that the increases, which were retro
active to Sept. |, 1912, influenced the
employees into voting for the ClO.
The rival union, the AFL petition set
forth, took full advantage of the stu
alton, leading the workers to believe
that:
THE CIO had sufficient strength
to require the NWLB to violate its
rules and issue a directive order.
2-Unless they voted for the ClO,
they would not receive their $400
back pay.
3-Unless they voted for the ClO
and the CIO won the election, there
would be no one to enforce the NWLB
directive, to the disadvantage of all
the employees.
The AFL union charged the ClO
with making other statements, which
they knew were false, during the cleo
tion campaign. Handling the case for
the union are Daniel ID. CARMEL, at
torney, and Harry +. OReilly, re-
gional AFL director of organization.

dent of the Illinois State Federation

greatest importance. These included
the following:
