Labor Relations Helped
|By 6. 0. P, Reece Declare,
By the Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mar. 8.-B. Car
roll Reece. chairman of the COP
National Committee. said tonight
that the mere presence" in Wash
ington of a Republican Congress
"has already brought about a
marked improvement in relation
ships between management and la
bor."
Addressing the Missouri Repub-
lican Club, Mr.. Reece declared
there had been numerous notable
examples in recent weeks of a
willingness on the part of leaders on
both sides to resort to real collec-
tive bargaining for the settlement
of their differences"
Some of the very leaders who
were formerly most uncompromising
are now notably conciliatory and
reasonable" he added. This
change, in my opinion, has been
brought about by a realization thai
the Congress now in Office is deter
mined that labor-management re-
iations shall no longer be handled
as political issues and believes that
the public, as well as the parties
directly concerned in Industrial dis
putes, has rights which must be re-
spected."
He noted that this change has
come about before the new Congress
has enacted a single law dealing
with this subject"

Broader Study Asked
By President on Plan
For Guaranteed Waqe

President Truman yesterday called
for a broadened study of the guar
anteed wage plan by the Council OF
Economic Advisers and the Secre-
taries of Commerce and Labor.
One survey recently completed by
the Advisory Board of the Office OF
War Mobilization recommended fur
ther study of the plan which is used
in some industries to guarantee
workers a certain amount of en-
ployment within a stated period
generally year.
The board said that the guaran-
teed wage plans should be effected
through collective bargaining rather
than legislative action.
In letter to DR.. Edwin G. Nourse,
chairman of the Council of Eco
nomic Advisers, the President asked
that this group study the economic
implications of the. guaranteed wage,
particularly as a device for helping
to stabilize employment, production
and purchasing power" He added
This study should consider ex-
isting legislation in the field of
social insurance, minimum wages,
fiscal and tax policies and other
laws that affect the Inauguration
or operation of guaranteed wage
plans"
The Commerce and Labor Secre-
taries were asked to provide data
on wage guarantees in relation to
the stabilization problems of various
industries.

Repair Of Liner Ericsson,
Swept by Fire, Is Doubted
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Mar. S.-Doubt
whether the former luxury liner
John Ericsson would be repaired
after the fire which swept the vessel
at New York pier yesterday .swas
expressed today by Capt. Hewlett r.
Bishop, Atlantic Coast director of
the Maritime Commission.
e After inspecting the vessel with
Vice Admiral w. w. Smith, COM
mission chairman, Capt. Bishop said
a decision would await a more COM
plete survey. ~.
He said it would cost S500,900 and
six weeks work to put the Ericsson
in "pre-fire condition" and SIS, ,O00,-
600 to make her into cabin class
vessel meeting American safety
standards. @
The Ericsson, 20-year-old former
Swedish liner, is owned
by the Maritime Commission. A
dormitory-type transport, it has
been operating on temporary waiv-
ers from the Coast Guard on safety
standards.
Cabt. Bishop said the Coast Guard
probably would be reluctant to con-
tinue the waiver indefinitely, and
the commissions authority to
operate ships ends on July l. He
SAID because of the vessels age
there was little likelihood any
American or foreign company would
want to purchase it.

Paris Counterfeit Trial
BY the Associoted Press

PARIS, Mar. 8-Three United
States War Department civilian en-
ployes will go in trial Thursday,
charged with dealing in counter
felt scrip currency, the United States
Army provost marshal's Office said
today.
The three defendants are Alfred
A. McLennon, whose last address the

John w. Chandler, for the past 80
years resident of Paris.
They were arrested last month
along with another American civ
ilian and two Frenchmen for in
vestigation in a counterfeiting oper-
alton. Army Investigators said the
.,Americans had obtained counterfeit
military scrip bills from the two
~Frenchmen and then tried to con-
vert them into money orders or
stravelers' checks.
y When the bills turned up in Paris
early in February the Army closed
Its commissaries and finance Offices
1for q full day, until all the money
