these terms; and also what can be
done by the government to reduce
the harmful effects of strikes and
lockouts.
In the current fracas between
the CIO United Auto Workers and
the General Motors Corp, Walter
Reuther and the union leadership
are definitely strengthening the
bargaining position of all workers.
Of course such a procedure would
involve fact-finding. 1t would ex-
pose the phrase "fair profits" to
very careful public examination.
Business fears this public interest
would lead directly to government
regulation of profits. However,
when profits are falling and busi-
ness wishes to use this as basis
for reducing or opposing wage de-
mands, business does not hesitate
to use the low profit argument. Sc
the curst answer is: 'Profits are
none of labor's business. We'll
give them Is per cent over the cost
of living as determined by the

ed the Silver Beaver, the 'most

the title of "Miami's First Citizen, /"
citation from the American Red

Of course it is no simple matter
to put down in a few words the
underlying political and economic
ideas in the scraps between man.
agement and labor. A brief survey
reveals that the CLOS United Auto
Workers are definitely strengthen
ing the bargaining position of all
labor by demanding that profits be
considered in determining the abil-
ity of company to pay higher
wages.
In the past labor management
political economics were based on
the following ideas:
1. Business should get fair prof
it's. This r'eans profits high
enough to stimulate savings and to
justify business risks.
2. Labor at least should get the
cost of maintaining an American
standard of living. And in accord
with it's increasing productiveness,
labor is entitled to have it's wages
raised proportionately. In short,
only through the pay envelope can
American prosperity be distribut-
ed to the country as whole.
3. Collective bargaining be-
tween management and labor is ac-
cepted as method for settling dis
putes over wages, hours, and other
working conditions. Both labor and
management have the right to re-
ject by strikes or lockouts.
These apparently simple prin-
ciples grew out of long and bitter
struggles extending over a period
Of 100 years. They were marked
by mob violence, murders, lynch
ings, and massacres. Recent prog
ress, fortunately, has been largely
in the direction of defining specifi-

In order to qualify under the De

basis for comparison.
The industry must show further

terial.
School Credits
The course carries three units
school credit, and all students are
paid prevailing wages for their
work on the job, which occupies
the afternoon. The commercial and
industrial establishments have been
most cooperative in providing train
ing opportunities, and the coordi-

arrangement.
