Informal Session Held
BY Big Ain Effort 10
End Trieste Deadlock
sy III. A..oeia..d Pros.

NEW YORK. Nov. 15.-The Big
-Four. Foreign Ministers. faced with
an American warning that the
prestige Of the United Nations Is at
stake In the future of Trieste, re-
sorted to a small informal meeting
today In an extraordinary effort to
break the deadlock over the Adriatic
port.
Secretary of State Byrnes told his
colleagues he proposed that the free
territory Of Trieste be governed by
q representative Of the United Ma
tions Security Council with strong
police powers. Soviet Foreign Min
lister Molotov held out for limiting
these powers and giving increased
authority to council OF government
responsible to an elective assembly.
Wants Rights Guaranteed.
Contending that the Molotov pro-
posal would fail to protect minority
rights In the territory inhabited by
both Italians and Slavs, Mr.. Byrnes
declared, according to diplomats
present:
The rights of minorities would
not be suficiently guaranteed by a
governor with empty hands" and
they must be guaranteed because
in their protection the prestige OF
the United Nations Is at stake.
Mr.. Byrnes made his assertion
in the course OF a lengthy argu-
ment in last nights Council ses-
sion.f Although he did most of the
talking for the western powers,
British Foreign Secretary Bevin and
Deputy Foreign Minister Couye de
Murville were lined up with him
and against Mr.. Molotoy on the
issue.
The meeting ended when Mr..
Byrnes said that before the Big
Four finally decided to disagree they
should make at least one more at
tempt to get together. He suggested
a small formal meeting in which
they would leave their regular coun-
Gil chamber and meet In COM
mittee room with only two or three
aides each instead OF the usual
10 apiece.
They first employed this system
at Paris conferences last summer
and on occasion 1t proved helpful
in reconciling broad differences be-
tween Russia and the western pow
ers.
Last Great Obstacle.
Last nights discussion was de.
scribed by persons who attended II
as demonstrating that the last great
obstacle to agreement on Trieste
main block In the way Of an italian
peace treaty-is the question of who
should really direct the police.
While Mr.. Molotov favored leav-
ing In the hands Of the governor
some powers to deal with an emer-
gency, he argued for making the
police mainly responsible to the
council Of government. which in
turn would be responsible to the
elected assembly.
Mr.. Molotov described this pro-
posal and more than a dozen he
has put forward as representing
the extreme limit Of Russia's will
ingness to compromise with the
western powers on the Trieste issue
Mr.. Byrnes' arguments indicated
that Mr.. Molotoy's proposals did
not satisfy the western powers
Some Big Fofr diplomats said, hnW.

0PA and CPA Merger
Into oLiquidatingUnit
Is Reported Near
BY the Assoeiotsd Pres.

Its low-cost clothing program
junked, the Government report
edly is on the verge today of
Jumping OPA, CPA and possibly
some other wartime agencies into
a single liquidating unit
This followup to President Tru-
mans sweeping decontrol order last
week end has been the subject OF
conferences among stabilizat tion
Director Steelman, Budget Bureau
ofiicials and Representatives Of the
extinction-bound agencies them
selves.
At their peak they held a tight
grip on most prices and much of
the Nations productions and distribu-
tion facilities.
OPA, which now has control only
over rent, sugar, sirup and rice
ceilings, last night announced plans
to whittle its present staff of around
$4,000 workers down to l5,600 by
February ! and to reduce Its ga
district offices to branch status by
December /.
Program Abolished.
simultaneously. the Civilian Pro-
duction Administration took another
long step toward casting of Its
remaining restraints by abolishing
the low-cost clothing program.
Under that setup, textile manu-
facturers were required to channel
specific percentages OF their output
to clothing makers who were re
quired to produce certain quantities
OF low and medium priced garments.
"The termination OF all price con-
trolls on textiles" CPA said, has
made (this) no longer practicable.
There is no basis for continuing
these restrictions either on the pro-
ducers Of the fabric or on the man
ufacturers Of the clothing
The agency added that even
though 1t might have retained set
asides, priorities and production
controls, 1t was mo longer possible
to insure that the items so manu-
factured would be held to prices
within the low cost field"
Rent System Continues.
OPA said its stan reduction plans
contemplate employment Of not
more than 1880 persons on jan
uary / and not more than 15,600 on
January 81. These figures compare
with q peak Of 63,426 on July 81,
1e45, and 35,067 month ago.
While announcing that its "a dis
trict ofices will be CLOSED to the
public" on December /. OPA added
that certain divisions will be main
tanned in the same locations to
handle sugar controls and enforce
ment duties.
Rent control will continue to be
administered by existing Offices.
Other agencies mentioned as
likely to figure in the proposed Ii
consolidation are the Of
fice Of Contract Settlement and the
Retraining and Unemployment Ad-
ministration, veterans aid Or
ganization.

it's income for medical care (about
percent for physicians and hospitals,
| percent for medicine, dentistry, etc.
But that percent average conceals
wide variations. In any year, over 5O
percent of the total burden OF medical
costs falls on only 10 percent OF the
population. No one can tell whether or
not he'll be in the unlucky tenth. Self
supporting people of modest means
the bulk of American wage earners-
bear the brunt of the burden.
In 40 percent of the counties in the
United States, there is no full time
public health officer, and 100000
Americans do not have access to any
local recognized general hospital. In
any 24-hour period, about 100000

quate health program for the United

% Existing medical facilities and
services cannot cope with Americas s
urgent health needs. (2) Despite our
great progress in medical techniques,
we lag behind other countries in many
health records. 90 The burden of
sickness costs falls unevenly, unpre-
dictably, and often on those unable to
carry it. (4) Nothing short of passage
of the Wagner -Murray-Dingle Bill
will provide for the nations health
needs.

All Sweden's Night
Workers To Have
Health Examinations

Stockholm, (ILNS).--Every one Of
Sweden's more than $4,000 industrial
night shift workers will undergo a
thorough medical examination by the
Institute of Public Health. The work
will begin this spring. First the men
will be registered as to class Of work,
living conditions, food situation, etc.;
then the medical examination will be-
gin. One of the reasons for this pro-
gram is that the majority Of physi-
clans employed at iron works, steel
mills, pulp plants, etc., have found
that night shift workers are more
susceptible to sickness than others.

WISDOM

There are many signs at the pres
ent time, with the growth and recog-
milton of the Importance and signif-
icance of the labor groups in our COM
mon civilization, that as labor has
gained status in the community it is
also imposing upon itself those rules
of discipline and self-government SO
necessary to the maintenance of that
status.-France Perkins.

STRAIGHT FROM
THE SHOULDER

"There have grown up in the labor
movement Of this country parasitic
elements and predatory forces which
have no ethical code when it comes
to attempting to thrive at the expense
of another union. Bribery, corruption,
intimidation and demogogy are the
stock tools with which these organiza-
tions carry on their guerrilla warfare
against the main body of organized
labor"
No, this does not come from the
pen of Westbrook Pegler or from the
overstuffed offices of the National
Association of Manufacturers. 1t was
said by Samuel Reinlib, president of
the International Ladies' Handbag and
Novelty Workers Union, at the unions

BrOwnOut Begun
At Hamilton

Approximately rs per cent of the
merchants and business people COM
piled with the voluntary "brownout"
appeal by extinguishing signs and
window lights.
City authorities, who asked that
the "brownout" be put into effect,
said they expected 100 per cent CO.
operation as soon as the terms of
the order were understood.
C. N. Teaff, Acting City Manager,
requested the "brownout" in a state
ment issued late last week dealing
with the power situation.

COMMENT on WORLD EVENTS

There will be further changes in the
economic situation of the Dutch East
Indies, other far Pacific islands, Bur-
ma, Korea, and most particularly in
China and Japan. The extent and the
trend Of these changes in the Far
East will be watched with interest
everywhere.
The Importance of international CO.
operation between workers and en-
ployers and government is well en-
phasized by the conference Of seven
Industrial Committees set up by the
International Labor Organization,
some of them held in the United
States.
The steel committee recently met
in Cleveland and the Industrial Com
mittee on the Metal Trades met in
Toledo, May / to s. At the latter meet
ing, delegates from ID member coun-
tries were present. Subjects included
wages, conditions Of work, collective
bargaining, joint consultation and per-
sonnel management.
AS the LILO points out, joint con-
sultation, the past five years has def
initely proven, is not just theoreti-
cal possibility, but really workable
system. The need for international CO.
operation in the solution of economic,
technical and social problems of the
various industries, it is widely agreed,
is probably greater now than in any
previous period Of history.

Committee Recommends
USES Return To States

Washington, d. C. (ILNS).-The
Senate Committee on Education and
Labor has approved compromise bill
which would return the United States
Employment Service to the 48 states,
3 territories and the District Of Colum-
bia, as Of December 81, 1916.
President Truman had sought to
keep federal control of the service
until June 80, 1947.

mantling of the various USES offices

AS result of war and it's after
math, numerous changes are taking
place in the political and economic af-
fairs of the various Far Eastern coun-
tries. These changes affect the COM
mon people, the wage earners, most
seriously. In a few nations, includ-
ing Japan organization of workers
into reasonably Independent union is
being fostered.
A study made by the Bureau of
Business Conditions, Alexander Hamil-
ton, Inc, lists number of possible
changes in the near future. The Brit
ish government, it is noted, is dis
cussing with India measures which
will grant that country some more
liberal form of independence. Nego-
tiations are in progress between the
Netherlands government and the
Dutch East Indies, for the purpose Of
determining the degree of self-gov-
ernment which those islands should
exercise.
Changes are occurring in French
Indo-China. In China proper, great
political changes are taking place,
with the struggle centering between
the Nationalist government and Com
munist groups, but, as usual, with
the ultimate fate of the low-paid work
ing people chiefly at stake.
During the war, industrialization OF
India made great strides, and her
financial position underwent much
change, resulting in some slight I'M
provement in the condition OF her
working masses. Economic changes IN
some form were likewise noted in
other Far Eastern countries and the
conditions developed by the war have
not yet fully worked themselves out
to conclusion.

LABOR DISPUTES ovERPLAYED

LABOR DISPUTES ONEKPLA ED
The daily press appears quick to
grab all the news items about labor
disputes, but one seldom sees any
thing about the many cases that are
settled every day through the peace
full medium of collective bargaining.
In these extensive negotiations be-
tween many labor groups and their
employers-all a part of the read
justment from war to peace-some
difficulties here and there are rather
to be expected. While little is heard,
publicly, about the new contracts be-
ing reached daily, through peaceful
means, it is fact that scores of such
new contracts are being negotiated
every week.
1t is perhaps unfortunate but never
theless fact that labor disputes are
overplayed in the public press, but
the brighter side does not get the big
headlines. But that brighter side of
peaceful negotiation between workers
and employers does assuredly merit
the continued confidence and enthu-
siasm of all Americans.

AFL Hits Wage Freeze As Costs Rise
Congress- Record
 @Shameful'-Green

Cleveland (LPA)-The record of this Congress is shameful, and AFL members "plan to intensity our efforts this fall to elect the friends of labor and to defeat its enemies" AFL President William Green told the convention of the Ohio State Federation of Labor here this week.
 The AFL head said Eve will need the full cooperation of the state federations of labor and the city central bodies who are closer to the local campaigns than we are in Washington and must do the hard work of get ting voters to register and go to the polls.'' g
 Green said the AFL will not depart from its traditional non- partisan policy, the wisdom of which, he said, had been demon strated in this Congress where the AFL found friends in both the Democratic and Republican camps and enemies in both, as we'll"
