Washington, D. G. = Following
the series of labor-management
Skirmishes which have alarmed
the nation, the leading represen-
tatives of unions and business are
now sitting around peace table
here with the hope of finding a
formula for peace on the produc-
ton front.
The outcome of the conference,
called by Secretary of Labor Sch
Wellenbach, may determine
whether that long era of
prosperity may come in 1946-or
whether we will be faced by a
long conflict which could para
lyze industry, cause widespread
unemployment, and make our
hopes for better living an ex-
ploded pipe dream.
Most members of congress
seem to be pessimistic about the
outcome. They think that the
relations between the two groups
have become too strained during
recent months to make it possible
to reach agreements. But the
leaders of labor and management
have at least shown evidence of
wanting to get their differences
1roned out.
In letter to President Truman,
outlining their aims, signed by
the head men of the ALL, the
CLIO, the U. S. Chamber of Com
merce and the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers, these lead
ers, who will direct the outcome
of the conference, said:
ut is our hope and belief that
a willingness to understand each
others positions and to find a
common ground in the interests of
the public good will continue
throughout the conference. It is
our considered opinion that this
conference will place a significant
milestone in the history of free,
private enterprise"
The wide difference in view
point between labor and manage
ment is best exemplified by re-
cent statements made by General
Motors executives and by repre-
sentatives of labor. GIN execu-
t1ves have suggested that the
Wage and Hour law be changed to
provide for a 45-hour week before
overtime rates are paid. The au-
tomobile workers are asking for
4O-hour week but with 48-hour
pay. And William Green, head
Of the ALL, recently said that the
S0-hour week will soon be IAN
economic necessity"
If the two groups are able to
come to any workable agree
ments it will be a minor miracle,
particularly when they are meet
ing while some of the worst
strikes the country has ever ex-
perienced are taking place.
1t was felt among some of the
leading economists here that con-
gress missed major opportunity
to aid the labor-management

To Fight Order

Washington, Aug. 1.-CUP)-Sen. Tom Stewart, D., Tenn, said today that the recent Interstate Com merce Commission ruling cutting freight rates in the south and west would have no real effect because it touches "only a very minor part" of the freight rate structure.
 He said in a Senate speech that "all we have achieved to date is promises" The commissions ruling, he said, applies only to class rates, while the great bulk of freight moves on column rates, commodity rates. and exceptions to class rates.
 Furthermore. Stewart said, east ern shippers and state governments are preparing to go to the courts to light the order, particularly the sec ton which proposes that eastern rates be increased 10 per cent at the same time that southern and western rates are reduced 10 per cent.
 Tt still remains uncertain, there fore" Stewart said, whether this increase will become effective"
 If it does, he said, southern class rates after the 10 per cent reduc- ton will still be l4 per cent higher than eastern rates; southwestern class rates will still be g per cent higher; and western rates will be live to g per cent higher.
 "One needs to be an optimist in- deed to believe that his interim adjustment will bring the west and south any great measure of relief from present disparities," Stewart said.

Miners in Service May Be FurIouehed

Washington, Aug. 1-(UP)-w War Mobilizer John W. Snyder was ex- pected today to take a hand in requests for the release of 30,000 miners from the army to avert a threatened coal shortage.
 Fuel Administrator Harold I. Ickes told the Senate War Investi- gating committee yesterday that unless the extra help is made avail able. coal shortages would force industry on . four-day week next winter.
 The committee decided "to wait few days" in its coal inquiry to see if Snyder and the army could work out some plan for the release of the miners for work by Oct. 1.
 Ickes and his deputy adminis- tfator. c. J. Potter, said that by release" they did not mean dis charge" of soldier-miners because that might lead the men to seek "better jobs" before returning to the coal pits. They said they would rather have the miners in the serv- ices "furloughed" for the specific purpose of mining coal.

a letter received by Mrs. Howard Hart, chairman of Nurses Aides, here.
 Stressing the fact that the army nurse drive has brought sufficient numbers of nurses for the present into the service, the Surgeon Gen. eral said he wished to thank the Red Cross for the helpful work per- formed by its corps of nurses aides.

hNER development and flood control rank high on the list of Americas postwar plans. Many of these projects cali for dams which may also produce electric power.
 This involves issues that should be dis cussed and settled now rivers to cross in advance.
 Many of us in the power business have had a long experience with riverside plants, in the production of both steam-generated and hydro-electric power. In fairness to all tax payers and in the interest of the many million users of electricity, we think we ought to out line our convictions and suggestions on river development and flood control.
 l When dam is proposed, all of its purposes should be clearly defined in the legislation - flood control navigation, irrigation or power And just as clearly, the benefit to the people affected should justify the cost.
 4 If power is produced at government-built dams, it should be sold to existing power systems, without special privilege or discrimi- nation. This will cave expensive duplication

 , Any savings made possible by this plan should be passed along to the users of elec- tricity, under regulation by State Commissions or other properly constituted regulatory bodies. This will assure all the benefits of river development and hydro-power without the added expense of government going into business and competing with its own citizens. z Government in any business endangers all business. Government in business escapes many normal business obligations, enjoys free mail pays no federal taxes, and few, if any, other taxes, little or no interest. If government can sell electricity on this basis, it can sell shoes, groceries, automobiles, or anything else the same way. Government may properly regulate business in the public interest but should not operate business. It should not play in the game for which it makes the rules In other words, government should not try to be umpire end pitcher at the same time!
