Free Enterprise
Future Hinges On
Plant Relations

The future Of free enterprise as
q whole hinges on reflective ham
ding of the entire emplOyer-em-
ployee relationship at the plant
level" Carroll +. French, director
of the industrial relations depart
ment of the National Association
Of Manufacturers, told recent
meeting of induStrialiSts.
With management exercising
greater initiative and leadership
and with the prospect of an equi-
table national labor policy, I'VE
may be more hopeful of Il bright
cned industrial relations picture"
Mr.. French said, adding:
Right now Americas applicant
ought TO begin delivering real
prosperity for all the people. But
il can be upset now and in the flu
turc if management fails to do the
Iiglt thing at the right time e-just
as il can be upset by irresponsible
union officials or by Labor that
wears Il chip on lis shoulder"

u. S. "Can Produce"
Economists Prove

If today, long after VI Day, we
are still "fumbling with the ecOno-
mic problems of peace" it is not
because we are not prepared to pro-
duce. economists point out.
Americas physical plant capac-
lty is at a new all-time high-at
least % per cent above prewar, they
emphasize. More people are work
ing at civilian jobs than ever be-
fore, while unemployment is at the
lowest peacetime level since the
1920'S.
And, these observers add, the
American people have the pur-
chasing power TO absorb the full
output of our great Industrial ma
chine. with personal savings having
increased tremendously since be-
lore the war to high of $l52, ,00O.-
600 600 last year.

Calls For Repeal
Of Statutes For
Wartime Controls

ANY extension of wartime con-
trolls should be made sparingly
and only in those instances where
the need clearly exists" Earl Bunt-
ing, president Of the National ASso-
citation Of Manufacturers, said last
week in statement anticipating
President Truman's forthcoming
recommendations on repeal or ex-
tension of various control statues.
1T is not enough that wartime
controls be abandoned" Mr.. Bunt-
ing said. "lt is Imperative that
statutory for them be repealed
without delay
"TO retain legal authority for in
dustry-burdeninG controls is like
keeping a loaded gun in the bureau
drawer-it is always a threat to our
free economy.
Few Exceptions
while great strides have been
made in demobilizing the vast con-
troll network, the remaining war
controls over industry and business
should, with few exceptions, be
eliminated without delay.
During the war no one question
cd the need for extraordinary mea-
sures, but now the necessary steps
should be taken to secure the rapid
and complete termination of all re-
naming war controls and emergen-
ty powers. unless it can be show n
cOnclusively that they are essential
to the administration of sound for
eign policy, or necessary to the
operations Of the military estab-
iishment in safeguarding our ma

ing hOStilitieS at an end. MIR. Buut-
ing pointed out that this abolished
only 81 wartime statues, leaving ap-

Sees Compulsory
Arbitration Should
Strikes Keep on

If strikes are not stopped, some
form of compulsory arbitration may
be legislated land such cOmpulsion
will lead to compulsory pricing and
production" Edgar l." Warren, di-
rector of the l.. s. Cancellation Ser
vice, warned recently.
''If work stOppa9es continue to
interfere with our economy" Mr..
Warren said, Il am afraid Congress
is going to consider seriously some
form of compulsory arbitration.
That, of course. will be the first
step to many other compulsions.
"Once the government is perma-
nently in the business of deciding
the wage increase every year-in
peace as it did in war-then incvi-
tably the government will have to
make other decisions on prices and
production schedules"

Farmers Find 80 Skeletons
In Cavern in Virginia

TAZEWELL, Va, Oct. 13.-A
buried cave, discovered accidentally
by a farm hand, yesterday gave up
its secret; 80 skeletons.
Unearthed on a farm some three
miles from here, the cave was ex-
plored briefly by two farmers who
reported they found an enormous
subterranean cavern filled with
stalagmite formations. Lying on
the floor, they said. were the skele-
tons, some apparently placed in
order and others looking as though
they had been thrown in hur-
riedly.' Near the bodies were a
number Of beads.
jeff Higgenbottom. on whose farm
the cave was found, said he had
asked an archaeologist from Vir-
ginia Tech to explore the cave ano
examine the skeletons.
The entrance to the cave is q
small hole, large enough to admit
only one man. Thirty feet down

Public agencies are limited by Law

Are Chest salaries abnormally
high?
No, they are from Is to 80 per cent
lower than comparable salaries in

In order to bring about better
salary scales and to do it in an
orderly, practical way, the Com
munity Chest and Council of Social
Agencies in 1914 set up a technically
competant job classification COM

AS result, a definite scale was
set up and salaries we're somewhat

tee is in the position of strongly
recommending higher salaries tc

The campaign failure last year made
it impossible for those increases t1

Takoma Park Homes
Get Wafer Again as
Main Is Repaired

Many homes in the Takoma Park
(Md) area were without water yes
terday as result of a break in a
six-inch water main at Philadelphia
avenue and Piney Branch road.
The break, discovered shortly be-
fore dawn, was repaired at am.
today after workmen toiled for more
than "a hours.
Carl A. Hechmer, operations and
maintenance engineer for the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Commits
sion, said the break occurred at a
point between the main feeder line
and q control valve on the 6-inch
line. This necessitated shutting off
the feeder line itself and therefore
affected more users.
Mr.. Hechmer said where the break
occurred the main is 16 feet under
ground, much deeper than the nor
NAL to feet. He explained that
the line passes through an old ravine
which has been filled in and graded.
Sanitary Commission forces, work.
ing with crane and scoop. were
delayed because of the depth and
nature of the fill. which contains
pieces of concrete and other hazards,
Mr.. Hechmer said. Ordinarily, he
said, such break can. be repaired
in from six to eight hours.
The engineer said it is not clear
what caused the break, although the
weight of the ground and seasonal
temperature changes could have
been responsible.
