New Consolidation
 Policy Revealed

WASHINGTON, D. Con the unanimous advice of the Labor Man agement Advisory Committee of the U. s. Consolidation Service, Director Edgar L. Warren announced a new policy of having the parties themselves bear the expense of arbitrating dis putes arising under the collective bar gaining agreements unless unusual circumstances justify an exception. In the past the service provided arbitra- tors free of charge to the parties. s Servic appointed arbitrators will hereafter charge fees.
 ''The exception to the new pol icy will arise in those cases where the existing contract specifically provides for the appointment of arbitratOrs by the service without cost to the parties," MT. Warren said. 1t is expected that such clauses will not be renewed in fu- ture agreements.
 This policy has been adopted in order to foster collective bargaining by perfecting arbitration as a peace ful instrument for the settlement of industrial disputes. Now that arbitra- tion is widely accepted as the ter minal step in grievance procedures, it is no longer necessary to encourage its use by monetary inducements. The deterrent of cost tends to promote the settlement of grievances by the parties themselves"

More than 600 dele gates representing 100000 members in the U. S., Canada and Hawaii were in attendance
 Emphasizing the extreme peril pre- sented to all of labor by the union busting provisions of the Case bill, Green declared, T doubt that many of our unions could survive very long if the Case bill became law, because hos tile employers can easily, very easily, provoke violations of contract almost continuously and then have you in the courts continuously. They could i'm povish every labor organization i'll the country"

 "They blame Communists, for ex- ample, 1t is easier for them to cry Reds than to defend their own un- holy records As matter of fact, re- actionary measures which impose greater burdens upon the people are grist to the mill of Communist agi- tators. Politicians in Washington, Hartford and in cities and towns who cater to the selfish few do more to create Communists than the Browders and the Fosters.

Would Put Workers At Mercy Of Judges

PHILADELPHIA-Here's a jur- ist who might have stepped straight out of the Stone Age, and who should be close to the heart of the most be- nighted labor hater.
 Strikes are neither lawful nor sensible" declared Judge Edwin O. Lewis of Common Pleas Court, in a commencement address. Strikes are conspiracies that violate the criminal and civil law.
 ''My own view is that all strikes must be made unlawful. VOte-seek- ing politician shave whittled down the power of the courts to control strikes. This tendency must now be reversed. More power must be given judges to suppress those who would substitute violence for law. >
 In other words, Judge Lewis wants the clock turned back, to enable judges to serve employers by throt- ting the efforts of workers to redress wrongs and to improve their condition

Cases Involving
 WorkersDe,cided 
Employees Held Entitled To Pay For All Time Spent
 In Plant

There IS quite contrast between the Supreme Court today and 20 years ago. For one thing, workers are get ting a much better break.
 On Monday last, the justices decided to knock off for the summer. Before taking their departure they handed down a number of decisions affecting labor.
 The court ruled, along the lines of the famous portal-to-portal pay case, that the time required for workers in a Michigan pottery to walk from the time clock to their places of work and to prepare for work should be counted as work ing time.
 Union Claim Sustained
 The union filed suit under the Wagner Act in Federal court The claim was sustained in part by the lower court, which awarded a judg- ment of more than $2000, but upon appeal by the company it was reversed by the U. s. Circuit Court.
 The union then appealed to the high court and was supported in its argu- ments by the Department of Justice and the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor.
 The court further held that when an employer fails in his duty under the Act to keep accurate records of hours and wages, the worker should not be penalized on the ground that he is un- able to prove the exact extent of the work for which he was not paid.
 Premium on Cheating
 Such a standard of proof, the court pointed out, places a pre- mium on cheating by employers.
 "The remedial nature of this statute and the great policy which it embodies initiate against making the burden of proof an impossible hurdle for the em- ploye," the court emphasized.
 A few weeks ago the court knocked out Selective Service Director Her shey's super seniority. Now the ques- tion has arisen as to how long straight seniority is safeguarded by the Selective Service Act and the justices agreed to review Circuit Court of Appeals decision and en- deavor to settle that issue
 The court ordered further argu- ment on the question of whether unions are subject to the antitrust law when they join with employ CTS in agreements which restrain trade. This is an extremely impor- tant case.

Poor People Belong I The Poorhouse Chamber Official Says

One Of the witnesses was OeOrge w. West, who appeared officially for the U. s. Chamber.
 Belong in Poorhouse
 During his testimony West was asked by Congressman Walter H. Judd (Rep., Minn. ), what was going to happen to hundreds of thousands of American families who need better housing facilities, but have little chance of getting them because of their low wages. West replied:
 ''I think poor people belong in the poorhOuse."
 Members of the committee were shocked and could scarcely believe their ears. That there mi ght be no mistake, the question was re- peated, and again West replied:
 ''Poor people belong in the poor house."
 Congressman Jennings Randolph (Dem., w. Va.), still did not believe he had heard alright
 Re Really Means It
 Do you really mean that?" Ran dolph asked, and West retorted sharply:
 If I did not, I would not be say ing it."
 In bringing the incident to the at tention of the House, Randolph pro- tested that 'this type of thinking is not in keeping with the viewpoint of the American people," and he added
 ''It is no disgrace to be poor. and it is tragic to conceive that we would want to send such persons over the hill to the poorhouse.' l would remind MT. West that Psalm Al tells us: Blessed is he that con- sidereth the pOor.'"

State Political Committee To Scan Records

''We intend to use every possible means" he said, ''to apprise the voters of the position of candidates on vital issues, and we do not think the people will allow themselves to be hoodwinked by false promises. g QuestiOnnaires, Cleary added, would be sent to candidates to as- certain their views on important questions.
 Although much emphasis will be placed on national questions, the A. F. of L. leader said, the State Non-Partil san Political Committee will exert its efforts to elect state legislators who will truly represent the citizens. "An end must be brought about to the con- dition whereby State Senators and Representatives go to the State Capi- tol primarily to serve their own am bitions to the neglect of the peoples interests" he declared.
