industry-wide bargaining. The clos est to it was the coal strike but there is no industry-wide bargain ing there since the northern and southern operators bargain separ- ately with the miners. On the rail- roads, only two crafts went out on strike, not the whole. industry. In automobiles, electrical products, the strikes were against particular corporations and there is no indus try-wide bargaining either.
 The net effect of the Case proposal would be to outlaw industry-wide bar gaining in situations only where it has actually made for industrial peace. It would not affect the turbulent situa- tions because industry-wide bargaining is not operative in these situations.
 ''WARMINC UP" PERIOD
 Another chestnut which Case has revived is the cooling off period which history has shown is nothing but a warming up" period. Case would also make it possible for the courts to intervene in disputes arising under an agreement. If this isn't a prescription for madness in industrial relations, then one hundred and fifty years of labor history just don't make any sense.
 l think it can be said in all fair ness that Case has not advanced a single proposal that would have anything to contribute to industrial peace. On the contrary because it would use the power of the govern ment against organized labor it would only stimulate resentment and bitterness.

A NEW WRINKLE
 Case has introduced new wrinkle in anti-closed shop legisla- ton. He would not have the Feder- al government outlaw the closed shop directly but would pave the way for the states to do so if they were thus disposed. In a previous column we set down the fact that the closed shop has nothing to do with strikes. State option on ban- ming the closed shop would add something wOrse-chaOs.
 Industry bargaining is also banned by the Case proposal. This shows sheer ineptness on the part of Case or whoever concocted this mon- strosity. First, suppose the unions bar gained separately with each element in an industry. It would still have the effect of industry-wide bargaining without its manifestations. Next, I suppose, Case will propose that unions cease and desist from organizing an entire industry.
 STABILIZING FORCE
 Proposals of this sort show, as nothing else can, the complete Hitter acy of the Case type of mind when ii tries to deal with labor relations. As I write this, I can reel off the follow ing industries where industry-wide bargaining has been the most impor- tant element of stability in their labor management relations clothing, head wear, construction, pulp and paper, rubber, to name only those that come to mind at once
 As a matter of fact there were no postwar strikes of importance in any industry in which there was

Unions Must Be On CuardAgaiinst
 RourkeSays
Federation Secretary Urges Detailed Knowledge Of
 L.abor's Problems

Joseph M Rourke, Secretary : Treasurer of the Connecticut Fedora ton of Labor, in his speech at the 35th annual convention of the Con- necticut State Building and Con- struction Trades Council, held in New Haven Sunday, warned that all mem bers of Connecticut labor must be on the alert for anti-labor legislation during the coming year. There are certain groups trying to undermine all that labor has accomplished by many years of hard work, MT. Rourke said. The people have been greatly misin- formed as to labor's aims by parti- san press, and it is the duty of all members and labor groups to study the problems, methods and aims of la Dor.
 In this connection, MT. Rourke advised the Council to send at least one man from each member group to the Yale University Labor Man. agement Center for the annual Spring courses in Labor Relations. He also stated that all Connecticut labor groups would be informed as to any impending labor legislation, and gave details of the FederatiOn's legislative program, which the con- ventiOn endorses.
 In closing, MT. Rourke urges that as many members as possible attend the dinner for John J. Egan, Connec- ticut Labor Commission, to be held at the Hotel Taft on Saturday, March 1, under the auspices of the Fedora ton.
 Professor Neil Chamberlain of Yale's Labor Management Center spoke of the advantages to be had by attending the Center's second annual Spring Courses in EcOnOm- ics and Labor Relations, starting on February 3.

Technical Advances MeanUnempIoyment

BALTIMORE-Blunt warn ing that technical mechanical ad- vances in the next few years will see an unemployment market of millions was sounded here by Evan Clague, director of the La Dor Departments Bureau of La bor Statistics in an address be- fore the American Public Vel fare Association.
 REGENERATION
 Some 100000 to 2,OOO, ,OOO agricultural workers will drop out in the next five or six years from the southern labor market because of mechanization in the processes of producing cotton, sugar and rice, he said.
 New advances in cutting tools, as yet hardly talked about, may produce an equally dramatic example of in creased output with reduced labor time," he added.
 BETTER INSURANCE
 "This should mean widely in- creased unemployment insurance and extension of such insurance to agri- cultural workers" he said Social in surance is one of the most construc- tive systems I know of to make free enterprise work"
 Joseph Baldwin, director of the Lake County (Ind) Public Welfare Department assailed the inadequa- cies of the present social security system. Salaries for case workers will have to be at least doubled, he said, to give the general public the services from the Social work practitioner" that it gets "at the public health office or the public library"
 HOW TO DO IT
 The only current advances in well fare, he said, were obtained by col lective bargaining between labor and employers"
 He said social work also needed an improved setting," so inter- views would not be conducted Gin what the architect intended for dead storage or broom closets.''
 Increased Federal aid for child health and welfare and education was urged by Russell Ballard, director of Hull House, Chicago.
 Devotion to home rule has de- prived many a child of an Ameri- can education," he said.
 He reviewed the history of social legislation in this country to support his contention that the advances have always followed depression to rouse this country to new advances.

10 what extent this will be
maintained will be largely de- .
termined July II, when flue-
cured tobacco growers of the
Carolinas decide whether they
will vote upon themselves an
annual assessment of ten cents

farmers vote in favor of the as

bacco Associates. Inc. When the
money is collected, it will be paid
TO the treasurer of the association
and used along with funds from
other sources for the purpose Of
stimulating. developing, and eN-
panding export trade of fIuc-cur-
ed tobacco.
Difficulties have been experience
ed for some time i'm maintaining
export outlets for flue-cured to-
bacco. Because Of the situation

leaders in flue-cured tobacco
producing states took the respon-
sibility of organizing the Tobac-
co Associates, Inc. The organl-
cation was financed the first
year by tobacco farmers and al
