New ILO Is
Needed-Woffs

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19 -
(LPA) - Returning from the
.ILO Textile conference in Bel
gium, AFL international repre-
sentative Robert Watt last week
told LPA that he found a def
mite need for an AFL European
office to coordinate relief acti-
vities of trade union groups. No
definite decision has yet yet
been made, according to Watt,
to open such an office.
Referring to the resentment
voiced by the French Commun-
ist trade union leaders to re-
ports of plans for an AFL Of
flee in Paris, Watt stated that
the AFL has no desire to set up
an office anywhere unless the
trade union movement in that
country is willing and anxious
to cooperate wholeheartedly.
While not to optimistic about
the future, Watt believes that
the most urgent need in Europe
is the development of an in
tegrated economy, which neces-
sarily involves the rehabilita-
ton of the German economy.
He doesn't believe that any real
effort is being made by the ma
jor world powers or by the
countries themselves to bring
this about.

Rieve contended that the in
dustry can well afford to pay
the wage demands. Between
1889 and 1946," he said,
"woolen and worsted profits be-
fore taxes rose from $26,600,000
to s194, 100000 During the same
period, profits after taxes rose
from ,8000,O00 to $128,o ,oOO,-

and in the report prepared by

Economists Work Overtime
Economists and industrial
leaders worked overtime to pro-
vide ammunition for COP Con-
gressional labor haters. DR..
Sumner H. Slichter, Harvard
economist, told the American
Pharmaceutical Manufacturers
Association that "the first step
in holding down prices is to
avoid wage increases which
could compel further price ad-
vances. Employers would serve
themselves, labor and the COM
munity by refusing to make
wage increases which require
price increases" This was ex-
cellent grist for the mills of
such employers as General Mo-
tors whose president, Charles E.
Wilson, declared that Car
prices will 60 up $50 if wages
go up $50"
The only way to raise wages,
said the head of the worlds S
richest corporation, was through
chronological progress. For good
measure he threw in demands
for the outlawing of the closed
shop and industry-wide bar

profits soar.
Words like discipline"
restraint" "m o d n a t ion''
and responsibility" were
flung around by conservative
economists, government officials
and big business spokesmen ad-
dressing trade meetings and con-
ventions, but underlying each
announcement was the certain
ty that no matter what labor did
or did not do in combating the
growing discrepancy between
take-home pay and living costs,
anti-labor legislation would be
pushed to the hilt in the new
Congress.
The anti-labor forces found
no encouragement, moreover,
in President Truman's press
conference statement, that if it
had not been for strikes delaying
reconversion his wartime emer-
sency powers would have been
terminated before now. The
chief executive had nothing to
say about industry's numerous
profit strikes nor the basic causes
underlying most work stoppages
since VJ-Day. The implication
was that labor, and only labor,
was to blame.
Speculate On Message
Truman indicated, in addi-
ton, that he was inclined to re-
tain his emergency powers, par
ticularly under the Smith-Con-
nally Act which is opposed by
all sections of labor. Meanwhile,
both labor and business circles
were still speculating on wheth-
er Truman, in his state of the
union message to Congress in
January, will call for restrictive

bor. Business sources suggested

Miners Win Back Pay For Holidays,
Now Demand $40 Million Health Fund
Proposed Health and Welfare Fund To Be Contributed
Wholly By the Employers

is expected that the coal operators
will reject the unions proposal and
offer much lower figure.
This issue must be cleared out of
the way and compliance of the coal
mines with better safety regulations
must be assured, before the UNIV
representatives will agree to discuss
the final problems of higher wages
and shorter hours.
Special Federal Mediator McGrady
and Conciliator Fuller appeared graf
flied by the progress made in the ne
gotiations but were extremely doubt
full whether all controversies can be
resolved and new contract agreed
upon in time to meet the deadline set
by President Truman.
The union, accepting the $3,000,000
holiday pay bonus as a "just debt
long overdue" declared the money
had been honestly earned and that
now, since the concession had been
made by the operators, it was pre-
pared to go forward in an orderly
manner to settle the other issues
through collective bargaining.

Washington, D. C.-With coal min
ing resumed under temporary truce
and the emergency coal shortage al
leviated for the time being, negotia-
tions between the United Mine Work
ers of America and the bituminous
operators for new contract began
to make definite progress.
John L. Lewis, president of the
UNIV, won the first round when the
coal operators agreed to pay the
miners total of about $3,OOO,OOO in
back pay for holidays already worked
The union insisted that this money,
representing overtime instead of
straight time, be paid before other
issues could be considered.
AS his next step, Mr.. Lewis pro-
posed that the health and welfare
fund proposed by the union to care
for miners injured in occupational ac-
cidents and to provide for the widows
and children of miners killed in such
accidents, be financed by a Z percent
tax on payrolls, to be contributed
wholly by the employers.
This levy would amount to 70 mil
lion dollars year, according to news
paper estimates.
The union move took the press by
surprise, because hitherto all pub
lished reports insisted that Mr.. Lewis
was demanding a 10-cent royalty on
each ton of coal mined.
The conferees apparently have not
yet discussed how the health and well
fare fund would be administered. 1t

CIO unions regard it as foremost
and sacred duty to serve the economic
interests and needs of their member

an outside matter, not as a predom-
