NATIONALLABOR POLICY

OVER THE LAST sixty-five years the American Federation
of Labor has been continuously pressing Congress
various parts of national labor policy in keeping with
ocratic way of equal opportunities Tor all to
promote their we-being.
First we urged Bureau of Labor Statistics so that
might have facts Then advocated Department of Labor
to promote welfare equally with employers and farmers
Then asked that equity courts be restrained from nteer
ing with legitimate and necessary functions OF unions and
when the provisions of the Clayton Anti Trust Act provided
inadequate to limit equity courts to their rghu functions
and stop them from effect making law to prevent unions
from functoning, urged and secured the Nons-La-
Guardia Act, which accomplished that purpose.
Later the keystone of national labor policy was added
to workers of the right to bargain collectively
on workers the right of contract which all bus
relations rest Contract is obligation created by the
will of the parties concerned Muuaty the of
tract Only when workers bargain collectively with their en-
poyers is there mutual agreement upon terms OF work. for
only few employees bargain Individually equal terms
with the employer.
During the emergency labors initiative, repre-
sentatves of organized employers and workers the
enmen their pledge to forgo strikes and ockouts during
the That faithfully fulfilled during the 1t was
Cancelled with the end of production The
however, took advantage of the pledge during the to
camped down. Although unions were not consulted and had
not agreed to the procedure which nltay authorized
by executive order, submitted.
With the surrender of the enemy obviously came the
end of the emergency which had necesstated suspension of
democratic government by law We patiently urged the Ad
minstraon to lift controls which limited collective bargain
ing The Administration acted only after citizens spoke
through the November election.
But in the controversy with the United Mine Work
the Administration raises new and more serious issue
as TO Cne powers OF government Relyig upon WafCme
although actual fighting has ended the Admnisra

Unfortunately his Interpretation of terms of the agreement
contrary to established ndustryunion practices.
Differences of opinion and Interpretation in the Krug

mutual agreement should be reached The Secretary obviously
relied upon the theory that the agreement not contract
but an executive mandate He persuaded the Administration
that in operating production properties the

above the law.

SNOW BRINGS ACCIDENTS: BEWARE!

-FOUR TYPICAL snowbe states in cooperation with the
National Safety Council, have just completed special
study of winter traffic accidents which shows that
of twohds of their cold weather mshaps last winter
occurred on snowy icy roads.
The states making the special accident analysis were
Connecticut, Indiana, Minnesota and Wisconsin December
l945 and January and February 1916 covered in the
study.
This fact combined with the knowledge that traffic
death rates in the northern half of the United States increase
from "a to SO per cent in winter compared with
the need for greater driver caution in winter months
the council pointed out.
Inadequate traction and poor visibility the special
hazards which send winter accident rates soaring according
to Professor Ralph Meyer of Iowa State College, chair
of the councils Committee Winter Driving Hazards
Meyer recommends that vehicles which must be operated
under and ice conditions be equipped with tire
chains and devices to aid visibility such windshield wipers
defrosers frost shields and good lighting equipment.
Modern methods of distribution vital to economy,
require that commercial vehicles and many passenger cars
operate in all kinds of weather. he sad and the amount
of such traffic increasing The greater number of vehicles
the road the need there for improved winter road
maintenance safety equipment for the vehicles extra

cherished preserved not because they contrary to

natural expression to the finest human qualities Christmas
shows each year what people do when they react onan

Instead of being time of unusual behavior Christmas is
