UE Mediation
Is Failure

NEW YORK (LPA) - Gov
ernment mediation efforts in
the nationwide strike of 200, ,0oO
members of the United Elec-
trical, Radio & Machine Work.
ers-CIO were adjourned last
week with no date set for re-
sumption of discussions. Mean
while 79 plants of General Elec-
trio, Westinghouse and the cleo
trical division of General Mo-
tors, all of which were struck on
Jan. Is, remained tightly shut,
Negotiating sessions held here
at the New York State Media
tion Board offices were dead
locked over company rejection
of the unions demand for a So
a day increase and other con-
tract improvements.
While discussions were still
going on UE President Albert j.
Fitzgerald wrote to the War,
Navy and Treasury Departments
asking that they refuse to award
new government contracts to GE
and Westinghouse and also with
hold payments on terminated
contracts.
Companies Hold Fast
Westinghouse has made no.
counter-offer whatsoever, while
GE has stuck to its 10c an hour
proposal and GIN to its 13hc.
Westinghouse, declared Edward
Matthews, UE international rep
resentative, holds the record
when 1t comes to doing nothing
in the face of dire economic
emergencies ia cling Westing-
house workers victimized by
wholesale wage rate cuts"
In half-page advertisements in
many eastern papers, UE last
week called public attention to
the fact that the three COM
panies can afford to pay the re-
quested raise. Combined GE-
Westinghouse wartime profits
alone were $424, 100000 and
combined GE-Westinghouse re-
serves amount to 1898, 900, 900.
The union said, despite the
urgent needs of their employees
and the sharp rise in the cost of
living" the ads said, none of
these companies has bargained
in good faith with its employees.
Both have cancelled their union
contracts in an attempt to de-
stroy the union"

creased participation IN the
responsibilities of production
and profits by minority places
on industry's board of trustees.
In his statement to the Blade,
Bishop Alter sought to eliminate
conflict by eliminating the divi-
sion of the profits, one of the
principal sources of disputes be-
tween labor and management.
Can Solve Problems
Working conditions and hu-
name considerations could play
an important part in eliminating
q large part of the friction be-
tween labor and management,
he stated, and advocated in
creased production to assure
more goods to share and insure
a higher standard of living
level.
Discussing the Case Bill con-
demned by labor leaders as one
of the most vicious pieces of la
Dor legislation to ever be passed
by Congress, the Bishop said
that it was IAN irritating rather
than allaying measure
According to the Blade re-
porters story, Bishop Alter, who
first suggested fact finding
boards to President Truman last
fall, still considers them good
idea, although he stated his be-
lief that removal of the sub
pena and 30 day cooling off
period from the Presidents fact
finding proposal removes any
practical accomplishments in
the bill.
Discussing the fact finding
proposal, the bishop explained
that there should be no "un-
desirable interference with both
management and labor, but
rather a middle way between
the extreme of collectivism and
the extreme o flaissez faire.
Has 1O-POint Program
Setting forth a ten-point pro-
gram, Bishop Alter recommend
ed that strikes not be conducted
for long period of time for the
sole purpose of saving face and
expressed his confidence In fact
finding boards in the event of
labor stoppages.
Wage negotiations should be
the scale in each industry as of
1910 plus the increased ratio of
living costs. II the increase can
not be carried by industry with
out increase in prices, there
should be increases permitted TO
give the same profit percentage
on investment as In 1940.
Advocates Bonus" Plan
One Of the outstanding recon-
mendations of the Bishop was
the payment of supplemental
wages (bonus)e on the basis of
production TO guaranteed both
labor and capital against
gamble or leap into the un-
known. A premium should be
paid according to the unit used
to measure production.
The ideal solution said Bishop
Alter is to give labor a minority
place on the board of trustees
with q sliding scale of participa-
ton in the profits after the
profits have been carefully de-
fined. Labor should have an in
creased share of the profit ra-
ton as the business increases.
Opposed To Initiation.
Expressing himself as opposed |
10 initiation, the Bishop said that
"the worst evil that could befall |
us as q nation would be prog

Employment On
Farms up Isl. 900
In Southern States

There were 100000 more white
and colored family workers and
hired hands employed on farms an
the South on June than year
ago, the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics Of the u. S. Department
of Agriculture reports.
The largest increase occurred in
the West South Central region
Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and
Texas-where total farm employ
ment increased 1911 900 on June 4,
1945, to 2,O45,OOo on June of this
year.
Hired workers accounted for q.
per cent of the increase. Similar in
creases occurred in Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Tennessee, and Kentucky.
However. total farm employment
in the South was nearly million
less on June than for the same
date during the prewar period
(1935-39). But wages averaged three
times as much as before the war.

EXPERIMENT STATION
OBSERVES 25th YEAR

The Southern Forest Experiment
Station observes its twenty-fifth
anniversary this week in its head
quarters in New Orleans and at its
eight field branches across the Deep
South from Florida to Texas.
An agency of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, Forest Service,
the station was established ON judy
|, 1921, opening shop in the Custom
House here with a staff of four
technicians. Today, the organiza-
ton leases 42-room former pri-
waite residence in City Park from
the City of New Orleans, and its
staff consists of 20 technical for
esters and an equal number of as
sistants and clerks engaged on for
est research.
AS carried on from the Southern
Station, forest research is not of
the swivel chair" or test tube va
riety. Most of the Stations expert
ments and research are carried on
out in the field, where the forests
stand.
The eight branch stations under
the New Orleans headquarters
where the field work is done, are
located at Harrison and Crossett,
Nacogdoches, Texas;
Stoneville and Gulfport, MISSISSIPPI
pi; Birmingham, Alabama; Athens,
