since the statutory definition OF the
word employer" includes ''any person
acting in the interest Of an employer"
the board has treated the employees Of
several companies as composing single
employer" unit, if employers consented
to such arrangements by forming a null
tiple employer bargaining association.
But, even where individual employ
ers prefer to conduct their own ne
gotiations with unions, the limitation in
the Wagner Act is no assurance that
they can do so. This was graphically
illustrated by the strike called by the
Steelworkers' Union, CIO. in every
mill where it had contract, although
it had offered to bargain on Its so per
cent wage demand with only the two
or three leading companies. The stop
page closed so many other major In
dustries that the administration was
forced to lift price ceilings. After .
settlement with the larger producers,
orders were given to the locals to refuse
anything less from other companies.

Mn Byrnes on Arms

In his address to the General As
sembly, Secretary Byrnes has re-
affirmed point he has made more
than once in the past-namely, that
the United States will not repeat the
mistake it made after the First
World War; it will not play into the
hands of potential aggressors by
disarming unilaterally. But 1t is
anxious to act without delay to cut
down on arms and armed forces
everywhere in order to stop the
race for power" and to perpetuate
the peace.
Accordingly, the United States
wholeheartedly supports the far
reaching resolution Of the United
Nations for expeditions control OF
nuclear fission and other instru-
ments of mass destruction and for
measures to effectuate disarmament
in general. More specifically than
the resolution, however, the official
American position calls for priority
action on the work of the Atomic
Energy Commission. AS Mr.. ByrneS
has put it, the world needs to con-
centrate on this and not dissipate
it's energies ION the less important
problems of~controlling pistols and
hand grenades." The atom comes
first among the first things OF dis
armament. If we succeed in dealing
with it, the regulation of other
weapons should not be too difficult.
In giving emphasis to this point,
Mr.. Byrnes has emphasized at the
same time that all agreements and
measures along this line must be
accompanied by effective checks
against the hazards of violations
and evasions." This means that the
veto of none of the great powers
can be allowed to interfere with the
operations of treaty-created super
visory and policing agencies. There
could be no real control otherwise,
for without collective safeguards
there can be no collective disarm-
ament" no collective security, but
only collective fear.
Another important point stressed
by Mr.. Byrnes is this: That in its
official views on disarmament. the
United States is not giving voice
merely to pious sentiments. It wants
action. to put the sentiments into q
working system. Indeed, its initia-
tive in this respect has been much
greater than many people seem to
realize. Thus, for example, besides
leading the way for atomic control,
it haSSpectacularly demobilized Its

armed forces. Little more than q
year ago 1t had 5000, 900 troops over
seas; today it has less than $50, 900,
most of them In ex-enemy states and
only a negligible fraction in other
lands.
The record, in other words, is proof
enough that America is eager to
have the world disarm as much as
possible. To this end, by precept
and example, it earnestly advocates
speedy action on every front. The
problem is tremendously complex,
and the solution will probably be a
long time coming, but If we have
sincerity and good will all around,
there will be no obstacles too great
to overcome. In this, as Mr. Byrnes
says, what is in our treaties will
count less than what is in our hearts.
# the nations hearts are right, the
peace will be right, too, and it will
be lasting.

Second-Round Loser

as rival economists begin Snlplng
at each other in the opening push of
the CIO drive for a second round"
of wage increases, there is increasing
reason to believe that the real loser
in this round is going to be that col
lective victim popularly known as
the consumer.
Most OF the ammunition for the
CIO drive is being drawn from the
Nathan report, which holds that
business" can support Is per cent
increase in wages without any price
increases.
Presumably, the author of this re-
port, Robert r. Nathan. former
deputy director of reconversion, is
prepared to put up strong argu-
ment in support OF his figures and
assumptions. It is obvious, however,
that his approach to the question,
whatever it's theoretical merit, bears
no relation to the facts of business
life in at least one important respect.
Although he comedies, at one
point, that his facts" do not apply
to Individual firms, his MAIN con-
clusions nevertheless rest on the
treatment of induStry's assumed
profits as sort of reservoir in which
no distinction need be made between
one firm and another. And the CIO
propaganda campaign will be predi-
Gated on the contention that, since
industry's 1947 profits are assumed
to be so much, labor can and must
have bigger slice In the form Of
higher wages.
Actually, however, according to a
National City Bank bulletin based
on Treasury figures, this approach is
grossly misleading. The fact is that
industry" or business" consists of
100000 corporations and about
2,5O0,000 partnerships, individual op-
erations, etc. In recent years, on the
average, only about so per cent of
these have shown profit. Thus, If
the CIO is to pursue wage demands
applied Unfortunately throughout
whole industries, as was the case last
spring, one of two results would seem
to be inevitable. Either there will
be substantial price increases to
cover wage advances or the marginal
firms will be driven out of business,
with consequent loss of jobs and loss
of production.
This inference is reinforced by the
experience of the first round of wage
increases earlier in the year, when
the Government found it necessary
to permit price increases despite
CIO claims that they were not
needed, and by the present conten-
ton of many employers that they
cannot absorb further wage hikes at
current price levels.
1t is probable, 1of course, that the
CIO, using the power of the strike,
can enforce its demands on the
country, and there is little reason to
hope that the CIO strategists will be-
willing to await the prospect of low
cred prices next year. But If, while
getting theirs" the strong unions
drive up prices again at the expense
of the consumer, there should be no
misunderstanding as to where the
responsibility lies.

Fireproof Firetrups

From two authoritative sources
has come new evidence that the pub
lie has been gravely misled by the
widespread use of such terms as
''fireproof" and "fire-resistant" in
relation to hotel design and con-
struction. The Winecoff Hotel dis
aSter in Atlanta, the La Sale Hotel
fire in Chicago and other recent
similar tragedies have made it plain
that engineers and laymen have two
different conceptions of the meaning
of the supposedly reassuring terms.
According to the National Fire
Protection Association, the Winecoff
and La Sale Hotels were "fireproof"
in the technical sense, in that fire
caused no serious structural damage
to either building. But, as the as
sociation points out in release, "a
stove is an excellent example of
f1reproof construction" And Maui
rice Webster, an architect, who in
vestigated the La Sale and General
Clark Hotel fires in Chicago, writes
in Atlantic Monthly that a consult
ant of the Underwriters Labora-
tories has described a flreproof
building as one designed like a
good stove, capable of containing an
intense fire for a considerable length
of time without danger of structural
failure"
Both authorities agree with the
general public reaction that it is
high time that human safety is
given at least as much attention by
construction engineers as structural
safety. They note, independently,
that the recent hotel fires in which
there has been large loss of life
followed a pattern-fire starting
on lower floors, sweeping upward
through stairwells and elevator
shafts and, upon failing to break
through the closed coverings OF
these shafts, bursting out horizon
tally into corridors and bedrooms.
They agree on something that there
has been disagreement on in the
past: That stairways should be In
closed and that "safety-valve" sky
lights should enable flames and
gases to vent quickly through the
roof. Supplementary measures
should include sprinklers at least in
spaces containing combustible ma
terials, self-closing airshaft doors
and possibly nonburning paint in
corridors.
All of these matters will be dis
cussed at a forthcoming national
conference of the Fire Protection
Association, with a view to having
State building codes revised to con-
form with the lessons learned at
such great cost in Chicago and At
lanta. If this vital movement is
successful, firetraps no longer may
masquerade as "fireproof" or "flre-
resistant" structures.
