Great Ldkes Sedmen Fight
Steel. Auto And Mining
Bdrons For 40-Hour Week

Cleveland (FP)-It took an act OF
Congress in 1886 to reduce seamen's
hours on the Great Lakes from "a a
week to Sc. They have remained un-
changed ever since, creating situa-
tion the National Maritime Union is
seeking to rectify by making the 40
hour week the sole issue of its I'M
pending strike called for Aug. 10.
Opposing this demand are the pow
erful industrial barons who own the
ring of heavy industries circling the
lakes.
Great Lakes shipping companies
are not Independent operations but
are subsidiaries of the steel, auto and
mining interests they serve. AS such
they have remained an unorganized
island in a seaof AF'L and ClO
unions.
While workers in auto, steel and
other industries situated on the
shores of the lakes won the 4O-hour
week long ago, shipowners to this
day have been able to resist efforts
of lake seamen to achieve similar
workweek.
The union points out that with the
56-hour week-eight hours a day
seven days a week-some seamer
never spend time ashore during the
entire eight months of the lake ship

Comment On World Events

Workers in South Korea have re-
ceived the right to organize and bar
gain collectively in an ordinance ap-
proved by the L. S. Military Govern
ment, dispatches from Seoul say.
Maj. Gen. Archer L. Lerch, Amer
ican Military Governor, said the or
dinance "marks the end of the Jap
anese policy of suppression of labor
unions and exploitation of Korean
labor" This is all to the good.
One wonders how soon the Russian
forces in occupation of North Korea
will follow the example of the Amer
leans and recognize the workers right
to organize in unions of their own
choice and leadership. 1t is to be
feared we are in for a long wait. OF
course the Russians are recognizing
the right of Korean workers to form
Communist unions, strictly devoted to
Moscow theory and practice, but as
for free unions, devoted to economic
betterment of the workers-that is
another matter.
Under the Russian Communist sys-
tenn, the government fixes both
wages and prices, the American Fed

Reilly Coils
For Wagner
Act Changes

Washington (FP)-NLRB Member
Gerald D. Reilly, retiring after five
years on the top labor tribunal, called
in United Press interview for a
shakeup> in the Wagner Act and in
NLRB procedure.
Frequently termed a conservative,
mployer-minded board member since
his appointment succeeding Edwin
Smith, Reilly endorsed changes in the
Wagner Act tending to curb labor's
rights and increase the strength of
employers in their dealings with
labor.
The NLRB has been successful in
reducing industrial strife and strikes,
Reilly said, but he thinks it would
make an even better record if these
changes were made in its procedure
1. Grant employers the right to pc
tition for an election when one union
claims bargaining rights and threat
ems to strike without going through
NLRB procedure.
2. Give to employers, equally with
uliiOio, IllC llSiiI " SpCdh IItCly
about unionization to the workers
during an organizing campaign.
Congress, said Reilly, should amend
the Wagner Act to:
1. Clarity the status of supervisory
employees.
2. Withdraw protection from unions
(which strike for detectives contrary
to the act"
3. Give NLRB power to handle
unions involved in secondary boy
colts.
A. Give prosecuting and enforce
ment functions of the NLRB to the
Labor Department, leaving the for
mer strictly a fact-fnding and judi
cial body.
Reilly said he thought there was
general acceptance of collective bar
gaining throughout American indus
try, claiming that the "blue ribbon
industries" violating the Wagner Act
committed offenses "more technical
and accidental than deliberate"
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1946-08-22

Grafton of Labor points out in its
monthly survey.
$50 the worker" the federation
continues, depends on the govern
ment for his income and the amount
he can buy with it, that is, his entire
living standard. Under the five-year
plans, when Soviet officials claimed
they were raising the workers living
standards, they dropped publishing
statistics on wages, and living costs.
'Tn U. S. A., the government pub
fishes wage and price information
every month in great detail. 1t stands
to reason that if Communism had
given Russian workers decent liv-
ing standard, the Soviet Union would
throw open its doors and welcome
visitors to see it's achievements, let
ting them roam the country at will
as they do in the U. S. A., and would
publish regularly statistics on wages
and living standards. But instead
workers living conditions under Com
munism are kept secret, revealed to
only few select visitors"
The Swedish Government has sent
a note to the Soviet Legation in
Stockholm announcing that accord
ing to Swedish law no Swedes, or
foreigners living in Sweden, can be
prevented from leaving the country"
This note was in reply to one from
the Russian envoy in connection with
reports in the Swedish press that a
small number of persons from the
Baltic states, currently resident in
Sweden, has left the country via Den
mark for the United States. The So
Wet note posed the question whether
these persons had the right to leave
Swedish territory without Russia's
approval.
"These civilian refugees" writes
Dagens Nyheter editorially, "enjoy
the same freedom of movement as
other inhabitants under our jurisdic-
ton. The governments declaration
makes it unnecessary to indulge in
any musings about new mass ex-
odus based on political grounds" J"
Svenska Dagbladet points out that
the United Nations committee dealing
with refugee and evacuee questions
in which Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt is a
particularly active member-by a
large majority has voted for the
principles which Sweden, as well as
other western nations, consider basic
when dealing with problems of this
kind.

Government Alters
Plan To Expedite
WAGE Settlements

Washington, d. ca change in
policy, effective September l, under
which unions and employers will oe
invited to share jointly in selection
of arbitrators in disputes over basic
contract terms of wages, was an
nounced by Edgar L. Warren, direc-
tor of the Labor Departments Con-
ciliation Service. This plan, he said,
was recommended last winter by the
Presidents abor-management confer
ence.
"Where contracts voluntarily en-
tered into provide that the Concilia-
tion Service shall appoint the arbitra-
tor, the service will continue, as in
the past to do So" Mr.. Warren said.
"Where contracts provide that the
Cancellation Service shall furnish a
list of names for the parties to choose
from or strike from, the service will
continue to follow that procedure.
"The new policy, however, will be
applied in those cases where disputes
involve the fixing, by the arbitrator
or by board of arbitrators, of
wages, or the writing of basic con-
tract terms, for the reason that the
financial stability of the company or
the existence of the union may be
involved"
Mr.. Warren emphasized that the
new policy governs only arbitrators,
who sit as judges and hand down
binding verdicts on issues after they
are argued, and not conciliators, who
attempt to persuade disputants to
compromise their differences.
The director said the arbitration
policy will have "far-reaching effect
and was designed to assure parties of
"both the fairness and the profess
sional competence of arbitrators."
He said companies and unions
would be asked to participate in Sc
lection of arbtrators by choosing
names from lists the Labor Depart
ment will submit when so requested.

what the figures mean," Zon said,
"is that the employers apparently are
sewing up some new sleeps clothing
for the same old anti-union wolf"
Besides reducing the NLRBs staff,
Congress also contrived to wrap the
remainder of the agency, along with
all other administrative agencies, in
the administrative procedure act, a
spool Of endless red tape that has at
times been called the "bill for the re-
lief of unemployed lawyers"
Among other things this law re-
quires agencies to publish by Sept. IL
all their rules, regulations, delega-
tions of authority, organization
charts, bases of authority and similar
details.
1t has been calculated that this
publication will consist of 5000 pages,
be 18 inches high, weigh "a pounds
and cost about $50 a page to print.
Unless it is completed by the Sept. III
deadline, and Government Printing
Office officials say this is impossible,

at may be, for instance" Zon said,
"that the Labor Boards representa-
ton cases will be thrown into the
courts. 1t may be that the courts
will pry further into board decisions
and substitute their judgment for
that Of the board in weighing the evil
dence, a practice that heretofore has
been frowned upon severely by the
Supreme Court.
at is certain that the amount of
litigation work will be vastly in
creased and the reduced NLRB staff
will be hard put to it to keep its head
above the mountains of documents"
