soap, housewives removed tx

With the arelease of AT Your
Command and II Keep Telling
Myself in late anaury on Capital
Record No. 359, the exciting new
! voice of Joe Alexander will be in
troduced on wax by Capital.
Alexander, star of the show at
the Pico Club in Los Angeles, is
regarded as the most talented bari
tone to be uncovered in California
since Andy Russell hit the jack
pot in 1943.
With an orchestra conducted by
Dave Cavanaugh, who helped, build
Bobby Serwood's band, young Alex
ander's first two sides for Capital
reveal his powerful, virle, mascu-
line voice excellently; no "swoon"
crooner, Alexander's robust style
is reminiscent Of Bing Crosby's in
the 1905.
Alexander comes from Baton
Rouge originally, and for several
years tropled in Floyd Rays or
chestra as drummer, base player
and featured vocalist. AT Your
Command" is the great 1881 ballad
composed by Bing Crosby. Il
Keep Telling Myself /" also is a
ballad, and was composed by Alex
ander himself.
Capital will feature the Alexaner
pipes heavily throughout 1947. His
new contract is long-term deal
deal and is destined to make him
one of the nations favorite bari
tones. -e

fears the closed
shop. Said he: "Our federation
opposes the closed shop. We op-
pose it on the ground Of indivi-

join a union or not to join a
union and to work where he
wishes. This plan has worked well
in Sweden. Most of the workers
recognize the value of the union
and do join, but they are not
compelled to do So"
The naturalization issue has
been discussed extensively in
Sweden. However, there is no in
tention on the part Of labor to
ask for naturalization. chiefly
because private enterprise is, as
Mr.. Anderson pointed out, "doing
all right" Labor has no reason
to think it would fare better un-

Mr.. Anderson's view that even
the status of labor unions would
be questionable under complete
naturalization.

IN STOCKHOLM this summer I
had a delightful visit with Mr..
Gunnar Anderson, vice president
of the Swedish Federation of
Trade Unions. Mr.. Anderson is a
well Informed, intelligent man,
who recognizes clearly the prob
lens of both management and
labor as well as the rights and
responsibilities of each. He an
swered questions ! put to him in
a fortnight manner, giving sta
tlstics and figures from memory.
Labor unions in Sweden have
been operating for more than so
years. The Federation is COM
posed of 46 separate unions rep
resenting trades or divisions Of
trades. Membership totals 1,106,-
600, most amazing number in
view of the total Swedish popula-
tioTr of only 100000. The So
cialist Democratic party, strong
est among the ranks of labor, is
also the controlling party in the
government.
Outside LABOR MANAGE
Influence MENT relations are
excellent throughout
most of Swedish industry. Dis
agreements and strikes are not
common. One reason for this is
the constant effort put forth by
the Federation to- improve under
standing between employers and
employees. When the need arises,
negotiation" committees attempt
to reach an agreement, but if that
fails the parties involved resort
to Cancellation" Mr.. Anderson
stated that conciliation is pre-
ferred to arbitration because it
keeps the responsibilities of the
parties involved.

strike was really unfortunate"
