BECAUSE the infamous Smith Connally law has forced the Ma tiOnal Labor Relations Board to de- vote almost all its attention to strike votes, operations under the Wagner Act have been seriously crippled, the board declared this week.
 Four of its regional offices have had to suspend all work except for strike elections, and other offices are devoting only a fraction of their time to vital Wagner Act cases, the board reported.

Let me just point out that, even un- der OPA'S plan, just announced, the dealers will clean up big and plenty Also, it's worth mentioning that OPA got itself into this box by refusing to take the advice of its Labor Policy Committee which predicted the very thing that was now happening on the hill.
 The major point that wish tc make is this: here's a marvellous ex- ample of what labor is up against 1T its fight for postwar world that makes sense. The national automobile association can get 300 Congressmer to scramble over to committee hear. ing at the flick of a telegraph key the people of this country haven't vel been able to get 300 Congressman onto the floor of Congress to face the most serious problems in the history of this country.
 EFFECTIVE PRESSURE
 I've thought a lot about this per. tormance since it took place. I've asked myself over and over agair what this strange power is that the business Hobbies have over the men O. Congress. What have they got that lo million workers with their friend. and families, and the consumers of tho country haven't got?
 Here are some of the answers that I've been giving myself: l. Or. ganizatiOn-I don't mean the small end of it here in Washing. ton. l mean the other end out in the field. One word from the deal. CTS office here in Washington, and the telegrams began to pour into Washington by the thousands. The switchboard in OPA was choked with phone calls. One Senator had stack of telegrams over an inch thick just from the auto dealers in his state, and the other Senators and COngressmen got the same treatment. The next time you ge, into a pressure campaign, keen your eye on that record and do your damnedest.
 Z. Long memories - Perhaps this is the most important element in pressure politics. The Congress. men know that the dealers, like the elephant, will never forget. if he behaves wrong on this issue. Nc matter how short sighted a Con gressman may be, he can always see as far as the next election cam. paign. And he knows that the deal CTS association will be in there pitching-and spending money come next election.
 NO EXHIBITIONS
 It's important to mention, too, tha
The union times., 1945-11-24

tions about acting as a pressure group i; the business groups have no inhibi- some labor people have.
 Let's get this straight. Washington IS the pressure groups paradise. They swarm all over the place. They're in everything you can think of, from the restaurants and hotels to the most private offices of the highest govern ment officials and the halls of the Capitol. They get their men jobs in the regulatory agencies and elect their representatives to Congress.
 The question before labor is not, shall we make this a pressure group government by putting pressure on Washington ourselves = as some friends of labor like to put the ques- ton to us. The question really is, shall we leave pressure and the government to the organizations like the auto dealers association which see only as tar as their next months bank bal ance, or shall we pitch in ourselves so that the voice of the people may be heard as we'll as the voices of the profit boys?
 On the auto price situation, it is terribly significant that the auto deal CTS are working their heads off to get prices up, and the only voice which IS demanding that car prices be held down IS the voice of labor. But so far labor has not been able to get 300 congressmen interested in speaking up for our side of the fight. Chester Bowles' decision to permit no sub stantial increase in the price of autos was victory for the people, but it was touch and go for while, so great was the pressure.
 Before going any further, sup. pose you make list of the things your labor spokesmen here in Washington are fighting for. If they're not worth real struggle, if they are not the things that serve the people rather than the selfish ends of small economic

Thinking It Through by BEN DOR
 LPA COLUMNIST
PRESSURE FOR PROFITS

The other day, over 300 Con- gressmen swarmed into one of the committee rooms on the Hill to at- tend hearing. This was headline news, because 300 Congressmen is an awful lot of Congressmen. As matter of fact, that's more than can usually be found on the floor of Congress, let alone at a commit tee meeting. But, SO anxious were these COngressmen about this hear ing that they held up the testimony of the major witness for over ten minutes while they got it into the record that they had come out for this important occasion.
 What was it that brought this army of statemen out? Was it to provide the Feconversion plan that this country needs SO badly? Was it to go into the problems of the millions of workers who earn sub- standard wages in this day of atomic power and still rising living costs? Was it to plan something to take care of the unemployment and depression that economists predict for as soon as we settle down to "normalcy?"
 No, this was hearing on some thing much more important to most Congressman than full employment This was to prevent OPA from try ing to keep down the profits which auto dealers will harvest at your ex- pense as soon as the new cars begir to roll through their showrooms.

WHAT NEXT?

Three electrically driven locomo-
tives powered by a coal-burning steam
turbine engine are to be built for the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railway. They
will be the first of the kind in this
country. In the new locomotive, in
a single self-contained unit, the coal
is carried in the head instead of in a
tender, the engineers cab is next,
then the boiler, and last the electric
motors that drive the wheels. The
engine is designed to develop 5000
horsepower and the locomotive will be
capable of running more than 100
miles an hour under full load even on
grades.

Philadelphia Stores
Asked To Release 900
For War Industries

Philadelphia (ILNS). - The War
Manpower Commission has asked 27
of the city's largest retail stores to
release 900 men for transfer to jobs
in critical war industries.
Levy Anderson, area director tol
the VINO, said that the first trans
fers, the third week in April, would
total 300 men, The remaining 600
will be transferred the last week in
April and the first week in May.
The concerns include department,
furniture, fur, variety and clothing
stores.
The change will be made under the
WINGS war service transfer program.
Anderson said that no key employees
will be taken and the stores would not
be obligated to reduce their total work
ing staffs.

BEWARE "BOOBY-TRAPSw

Lookout! That street is ''booby-
trapped" Not in the battle field
sense, but by the people who use the
streets.
Unthinkingly, pedestrians and mo-
torists set up "booby-traps" that
catch them unawares: Drivers who
make sudden turns without being sure
that pedestrians and other drivers are
aware of their intentions; pedestrians,
who, halfway across the street,
change their minds, do quick turn
about, and start back; others, who
dart out from behind parked or stand
ing cars or in the middle of the
block.
All are seemingly harmless, impulse
of f-the-moment, but the results can be
just as serious as any "booby-t trap
on a battlefield. Look out for those

Exit Interviews Helping
To Keep Workers On Job

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-"Exit
interviews" with workers in war
plants who have given notice of quit
ting, conducted by experienced inter-
viewers, have proved helpful in en-
couraging workers to stay on the job,
the War Manpower Commission says.
The interviews have also aided IN
finding out why workers leave so
remedial action can be taken where
possible, the commission said, in in
structing its IL regional heads to re-
quest that plant arrangements see
that the quitting workers are inter-
viewed
VINO said that information has
been obtained from various sections
on the beneficial results obtained by
war production employers who have
used exit interviewers. The commits
sion also said that apparently results
are more successful when men are
used to interview men and women in
teryiewers are used to interview wo-
men. Experience shows that the in
terview should never be conducted by
the workers supervisor, it was add
ed.

BEST TRIBUTE

The best and truest tribute Ameri-
can labor can pay to the memory of
Franklin D. Roosevelt is to work with
all it's might and will to realize the
goals of early victory and lasting
peace for which he gave his life.
President Roosevelt did not spare
himself in working for victory and
establishment of an international Or
ganization to prevent future wars and
thereby undoubtedly brought about
his death. Others must take up the
torch and bear it with the same fer
vor and conservation. With all labor
united and working in support of the
principles which he advocated, victory
and banishment of war can be hasten
ed.
This, as many have pointed out, will
be the most fitting memorial to the
man whom William Green described
as "the great humanitarian who will
forever be regarded by the men and
women of labor as true friend and
champion"
