SpecioI Meeting
For Next Monduv

All officers were at their respective
posts Monday evening when President
Laird Christian called the meeting OF
Local Union sc to order. 1t is very en-
couraging to see the marked increase
in attendance during the past month
This is due in large part to many
of our members who served so well
in the armed services have returned
and are taking up where they left off.
These brothers were always faithful
in their attendance before they enter
ed the service and we hope their re-
turn will be an incentive to some of
our older members who seemed to
have fallen by the wayside.
Although we are not mixed local,
the honor roll of Local Union 86 is
without a doubt the largest of any
throughout the trade. We are looking
forward to the day when all our MEM
bers will be mustered out of the SER
vice and back at their trade
I A special meeting has been called
for next Monday evening, Nov. IL.
This is a very important meeting and
should warrant the attendance of
every member working at the trade.
Matters of vital Importance will be up
for discussion and an effort made to
seek a solution to curb a few irregu
larities that seem to be reaching the
danger stage.-O. c. sc.

wave of unemployment resulting from

However, unemployment will in

Clague told the 9th annual meeting
of the Interstate Conference of En-

a majority of the workers whose war

President Dies

telegram this week at headquarters,

United Brewery Workers, who died at
his home in Cincinnati following a

A member of the brewery union
since 1900, Obergfell rose to early
prominence in the labor movement.
After holding several local posts in
Indianapolis, his home town, he was
elected to the unions general execu-
tive board in 1907 and was reelected
annually to that post until 1915, when
he was chosen general recording Sec
retary of the international and moved
to Cincinnati to assume the duties Of
his new office.
He served as secretary-treasurer of
the international union from 1924 to
1912, when the office of president
was created and he was elected to
both offices.

Uncle Sam of seniority rights has
finally brought results.

nounced new regulations under which
seniority--that is, length of service
will be the main factor in determin-
ing who shall be laid off first as war
time working forces are reduced.
In the past, layoffs were governed
by efficiency ratings" or only by the
whim of officials in charge, but now
seniority will get prime consideration,
with merit ratings secondary. Senior
ity will also be the governing factor
in determining a workers position on
civil service unemployment registers.

Spokesmen Take
Diverse Paths
At Conference

Washington (FP). - The approach
of American management to the ma
tional labor-management conference
which opened Nov. 5 was character
lied by some of the differences that
made labor's split both apparent and
real.
President Eric Johnston of the u.
S. Chamber of Commerce, smiling into
/ movie cameras in manner that would
please most Hollywood directors, was
conciliation and mediation itself. He
was the typical chamber of commerce
spokesman and he called for an end to
"thunderous statements and wild
epithets," and suggested that labor
and management, in the future "meet
less often in the headlines and more
often around the council table" He
called for self-analysis and for self
criticism, asked for cool heads and
warm hearts.
On the other hand, President Ira
Mosher of the National Association Of
Manufacturers, pledged that organiza-
tion's cooperation to the conference
but insisted that his organization "will
never compromise the ideal of individ-
ual enterprise" and called for public
acknowledgement of areas Of dis.
agreement.
Mosher insisted that these dis
agreements must mot be CLOSED over
by the utterance of pious platitudes
and the appearance of harmony that
does not exist" and made spectacu-
lar play on words when he insisted
that if disagreements come it will not
be because the NAM" came here with
any lack of liberal and progressive
program.
Differing sharply from Secretary of
Commerce Wallace, Mosher implied
that the issue Of wages and prices
should not be subject for conference
consideration. He said "this is not a
national collective bargaining confer
ence. Our function is simply to recon-
mend those procedures by which in
dustrial relations can be conducted
most effectively at the levels where
they belong"

|AFI und CIO
Are Split On
Wuge Topic

Washington (FP) .-Orgahized lab
or's split opinion on how the national
labor-management conference shall
proceed broke into the OPEN Nov. 5
after President Harry S. Truman ap-
peared at the initial session to tell
the delegates that the "whole system
of private enterprise and individual
opportunity depends" on finding a
solution to the conference problems.
Appearing first after the opening
remarks Of Truman, Secretary of Lab
or Lewis Schwelienbach and Secretary
of Commerce Henry A. Wallace, AFL
President William Green said it was
his opinion that the conference should
confine its work to it's announced
agenda-which omitted any reference
to wages and prices.
"Surely all of us must be fully
conscious of the complexities of the
problems which we will be called upon
to solve even if the work of the con-
ference is confined exclusively to the
considerations of each of the Z points
listed in the agenda," Green argued.
The introduction of other contro-
versial subjects, such as wages full
employment and legislation, for con-
sideration by this conference would
make failure Of the conference fore
gone conclusion. For obvious reasons
these are questions which should be
iealt with between labor and manage
ment through collective bargaining on
an industrial or plant basis" the AFL
chief said.
When CIO President Philip Murray
spoke at the end of the session, he
crossed swords with Green on this
position, stating that the nation is
now confronted by "a major collapse
in labor management relations" that
he said is not caused by breakdown
in procedural devices, but by manage
ment's rejection of collective bargain
ing.
Pointing to President Truman's
wage-price speech, to the recent re-
port of the Office of War Mobilization
and Reconversion setting out the need
for wage increases and the assurance,
of the Department of Commerce that
wage increases are economically feas-
ible," Murray. said that management's
mo" constitutes the real problem of
the conference.
