Hines Appoints
Lubor Committee
To Help Solve Long
Deadlock On Seniority

Washington, D. c.. (ILNS). - A
newly appointed labor committee will
work with Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines,
Administrator of Veterans Affairs,
toward solution of the problem
caused by a long deadlock between la
Dor and the Selective Service over in
depreciation of job seniority for vet
Grams returning to civilian life.
Labor members of the committee,
named by Gen. Hines in his capacity
as head of the Retaining and Re-em-
ployment Administration, are Robert
j. Watt, American Federation of La
Dor; Ted Silvey, Congress of Indus
trial Organizations and j. G. Luhrsen,
railroad unions. Omar B. Ketchum,
national commander of the Veterans
of Foreign Wars will sit as spokes-
man for discharged service men. 5
Announcing appointment of the
committee, Gen. Hines said that
solution of the problem of seniority
is one Of the most important facing
the nation in it's attempt to attain
full employment after the war;"
Upon it will depend" he added,
"to some degree, the character of fu-
ture labor contract negotiations"
The Selective Service Act, passed
in 1910, directs that all veterans who
had permanent jobs before induction
into military service, shall be restor-
ed to those jobs or work of equivalent
seniority on discharge, if they apply
within 80 days for restoration, are
able to perform their original work
and the employer is still in business.
1t is estimated that as many as 3,0OO,-
900 veterans will wish to exercise
this right.
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, Di-
rector of the Selective Service organi-
zation, issued memorandum last
year interpreting this section of the
law to mean that veterans shall be
restored to jobs, if they so desire, re-
gardless of the seniority of other
workers and that the restored work
ers shall not be laid off except for
cause for a period of one year.
Organized labor has taken a
united front" in opposition to this
memorandum-the AFL and CIO Of
ficially and the railway brotherhoods
through their national officers.
The labor groups demand that the
law be interpreted to mean that vet
Grams shall have added to their SEN
iority in former jobs additional SEN
iority equivalent to the time spent in
the armed services, but no more They
claim that this proposal is within the
meaning of the law, and charge that
Selective Service has endeavored to
establish az y"ssuper-seniority" system
that wouldyiiot be practicable

Labor Attention Urged
Workers Witness
Rocket Exhibits

Washington, ID. C. (ILNS). - Be-
cause war plant workers want to see
for themselves the completed pro-
ducts for which they make compo-
nent parts, how they are used and
why more are needed, the Bureau OF
Ordnance is sending 3 mobile exhibits
featuring rockets on nationwide
tour of plants engaged in this top
priority program.
Rockets, which are giving Naval
planes and amphibous craft the
fierce destructiveness of thunderous
warships, are being produced with the
help of nearly 200 plants. Rear Ad-
miral G. f. Hussey, Jr., USN., says
that to meet Fleet requirements pres
ent monthly output Of rockets must
be stepped up fourfold.
The exhibits, designed and prepar-
ed by the Industrial Incentive Divi-
sion, Navy Department, are planned
to show to the workers, most Of whom
make component parts, the appear
ance and installation of the complete
rocket and launcher. Returned COM
bat personnel, experienced in the use
of rocket launching equipment, will
accompany each exhibit TO explain the
battle functions of rockets, the
launchers and firing panels.
One exhibit will cover New Eng
land, the second will tour the Detroit
area and points farther west, while
the third will visit the Midwest

New York Maintaining that
"full employment is the difference be-
tween a healthy society and an ailing
society open to the virus of new
fascism and new war;" Paul V. Me-
Mutt, Federal Security Administrator
and chairman of the War Manpower
Commission, declared that "there is a
definite hope for a 100000 job
America" in the postwar period.
Mr.. McNutt said all Americans
must be protected against unemploy
ment as they are protected against
robbery, fire and violence at home.
He said that protection against un-
employment sis double protection
that will also guard our society
against such psychological phobias al

The 18th of series of articles
dealing with the efficiency of me-
tallic aluminium as a preventive for
silicosis in humans.
BY A. w. JACOB
Installation And Operation of
Blowers
The rules governing the installa-
ton and the operation of blowers to
pdisperse aluminium powder for
prophylactic purposes are herewith
set forth
U) A water and oil trap should be
installed at the take-off from the
compressed air main to ensure clean,
dry air for dispersal.
(2) There should be sufficient
blowers to ensure uniform suspen-
sions throughout the treatment cham
ber.
(3) The aluminium blower or blow
ers should be situated in convenient
position for operation and SO aligned
that the powder-laden discharge is
iloIlIOuCdi anu IoWdIu Iic CcliIIC VI
the room, yet impinges as little as
possible on nearby objects.
(4) For each 10-gram can OF
powder, the compressed-air valve
should be operated fully open for one
minute. The majority of the contents
will be evacuated within the first 10
to Is seconds; blowing a full minute
ensures thorough mixing of the
powder with the room air.
(5) Practically complete removal Of
the contents of the can is obtained by
alternately covering and uncovering
the small opening in the centre of the
lid of the blower while dispensing.
CO. The most satisfactory suspen-
sions are provided by operating one
blower at time.
(7) Dispersal should be conducted
so that the last blower to be operated
discharges toward the dead end of the
room. This procedure helps to pre-
serve maximum concentration by
providing a reservoir of dispersed
powder to compensate for loss from
air leakage.
(S) The threads of the lid of the
can receptacle should be fabricated
periodically. Care should be taken to
keep oil out of the chamber and off
the piercers.
(9) The can receptacle and the
small openings which permit air to
pass through this chamber into the
ejector should be cleaned daily with
brush and compressed air to prevent
plugging by accumulation Of powder.

Accident Rate
Drops Sharply
Big Saving In
Productive Time

Washington, d. c.. OLNS).-Ship-
yards are giving another illustration
of the fact that industrial accident
rates can be cut.
A drop Of 20 percent in the acci-
dent rate for yards building new
ships under U. S. Maritime Commits
sion contract was recorded for 1914,
Victory Fleet, publication of the
Maritime Commission, reports. The
rate was brought down from 1929 ac-
cidents per million manhours in 1942
to 23.4 in 1914. Yards working on
War Department contracts also re-
duced their rates by 20 percent, from
80 in 1943 to 27.6 in 1914. Navy con-
tract yards came down from 26.3 in
1943 to ZIG in 1914, a reduction OF
Is percent
Among construction yards holding
Maritime Commission contracts, those
in the Great Lakes region had the
lowest rate in 1914, though the Gulf
rate was only slightly higher. The
average for the Atlantic and Pacific
regions were practically identical.
The improvement achieved in the
wood and concrete construction yards
was considerably greater than in
yards building steel vessels.
If the frequency of accidents had
been the same in 1914 as it was in
1943, there would have been about
10000 more disabling injuries, and
$4,000 more non-disabling injuries.
In the aggregate this represents a
total saving of productive time dur
ing 1914 of about 462,50O man-days,
or time enough to have built nearly
z Liberty ships.

Yields "AwesOme Power"
at is plain to see that the psychia-
trist wields power nothing short of
awesome over patient. During the
centuries, a code of ethics has grown
UP governing the relationship be-
tween the patient and his doctor
Even a doctor cannot operate with
out the consent of the patient, and
the patient is fully protected under
the law in the right to have held
sacred any information that the
patient confides to the doctor in the
course of treatment.
"Now comes a proposal by high
official of the u. S. Public Health
Service that psychiatrists be employ
ed by business corporations to study
what is called maladjustments of en-
ployes on the job. Such maadjust-
ments involved, such as accidents,
absenteeism, labor troubles, job-quit-
ting, are all Jumped together by this
high official as subjects for study
and treatment by the psychiatrists
employed by the corporations.
"This engineer says: Tests which
could be used in the. initial examina-
tions of workers to determine their
intelligence, stability, or other per-
sonality traits might be suggested.
Advice could be given on how to
maintain morale and prevent friction
in groups constantly associated in
work, and procedures for handling
personality difficulties could be out
lined"
Labor Attention Urged
The journal says in, conclusion:
"Here is a proposal that needs the
immediate and utmost attention by
labor. Such a psychiatric program
could be used with terrible effect by
unscrupulous employers. Certainly
there should be no compulsion in such
a situation and no worker need to
submit himself to such a psychiatrst
unless he voluntarily chooses to do
So"
