RoiI Unions
To Meet On
Wages, Hours

CHICAGO, Dec. 13 (LPA -
Seven IN ms, representing
nearly 100000 workers in rail
road shops throughout the ma
ton, will meet here Jan. 8 tc
discuss next steps with respect
to wages and hours.
The seven are: Railway Car
men, Machinists, Sheet Metal
Workers, Boilermakers, Elec.
trical Workers, Blacksmiths, and
Firemen & Oilers. All are laf-
filiated with the AFL Railway
Employees Dept.
Some newspapers stories dur
ing the past week gave the inn
preston that these unions will
soon launch a drive for a 40
hour week to replace the pres
ent 46-hour week on the rails.
However, President Fred N.
Aten of the Department made ii
clear that no final decision has
been reached. General chairmen
OF the seven unions on each
major railroad have been called
together merely to talk over the
question, he said.
h On the basis of the discussions
Pat this parley, the unions will
d e t e r m n e whether to con-
centrate on a movement for new
pay raises, or for shorter hours,
or both.

NLRB EXPRESSING
Is On Increase

w ASHIN GTON OPA)
- The Taft-Hartley versi 10 n
of the NLRB is being by-passed
not only by non-complying
unions but by thousands of en-
ployers and by labor groups that
have filed the required anti
Communist affidavits, NLRB and
Labor Department officials ad-
mitted here last week.
Innumerable employers have
decided that the new anti-labor
| law is not the boom to peaceful
! labor management relations the
NAM and Congressional union
haters said it would be. Many
companies q u i C k | y discovered
that by invoking such provisions
of the Taft-Hartley law as un-
fair practices complaints and de-
certification, tn ey have not
weakened the union but only
disrupted morale and slowed
.
production.
AS a consequence not only are
unfair labor practice complaints
by employers dropping off, but
also an increasing number OF
companies, NLRB officials sus-
pect, are signing union contracts
without appealing to the NLRB
for certification of the union.
This trend was verified last
week by the New York Journal
of Commerce, big business daily,
which found that some manage
ments and some labor organiza-
tions (other than those which
refuse to register) are going
ahead with tn e r bargaining
without bothering to seek GER
tification from the board" !"

We have been reliably in
formed that William Wahl of
the guard force and Sister Stad-
Ter of Dept. 222 are going to
forsake their single blessedness
for double hitch in the spring.
This is the time of the year
that many sisters in the diff
ferent departments gather up
anything. their families refuse to
eat, cook it up, bring it to the
shop, gather around the festive
board, eat and smack their lips
over it and then do a lot of
gossiping about everything that
has or will happen.

We understand that Roy

rector of WHY'S Unit is setting
up a real educational program
for new employees who get
obligated on unit meeting
nights. This is great step for
ward because when we obligate
members stamp their application
slips and tell them that they
must get their attendance cards
at Local IL to complete their
membership we are not doing a
complete job. We should tell
them why we organized this
union, how we had to work,
what conditions were, and the
fight to get good working condi-
tions and top pay of the industry.
Ask them to join the blood
donors club to help save lives,
or join any standing committee
to carry the fine work on.
Tell them about the new
bonus set up and how it will
help increase their pay check
by being a little more diligent
about their work. And last but
not least, ask them to attend
meetings and help build a big
ger and better union. Teach
them all about our grievance
procedure and seniority so they
do not get suspended.
We hope they will be also
told why we had mixed in poll
tics and why we should elect
people to public office who will
represent labor.

Washington
Labor Report
BY Bradford v. Carter
LPA CoIumnist

For their second annual re-
port, the Council of Economic
Advisor to the President have
concocted a leisurely essay on
now to achieve maximum pro-
duction. The Council, it will be
recalled, is the group charged
with being the weather bu.
reau Of our economy under the
Employment Act of 1916.
In previous reports the
Council has on the whole per-
formed ably to call attention to
the vulnerable segments in our
economic armor. The current
undertaking however steers
clear, for the most part, from
the annoying and even dan
gerous realities of the current
situation.
What we have in the second
snnual report is a kind of pres
idential address to learned
society. The econnists, for ex-
ample, have a professional
society called the American
Economic Association. At the
annual meeting it is customary
for the President to deliver an
address dealing in very
philosophical vein with some
thing called the long run
trends. In such an address it
it normally considered i'm
proper to talk about the eco
nomic matters of the day.
NO ACCIDENT
Such is the character of the
second annual report. And
that it bears the stamp of
professional address is no ac-
cident either. Two of the three
members are former college
professors and Edwin Nourse,
the chairman, is a former
president of the American
Economic Association.
The discussion on "the labor
aspect of maximum produc-
ton" in the report is a good
illustration of the professional
tone of the whole report. 1t
starts out by an evaluation of
the kind of working conditions
which will add most to pro-
duction in the long run and
the short run; that is, shorten
ing of hours, improved health
and safety practices etc.
They say we also have to
recognize that workers en-
gage in practices which limit
production. w y? Because
they are worried about work
ing themselves out of jobs.
Then we have to do some
thing about developing "the
psychological security which
can flow only from a glowing
conviction that maximum pro-
duction employment and pur-
chasing power can and will be
maintained"
Now don't get me wrong
about this re port. College
professors are very nice people
and most of them have done
very valuable work in the
government. I also have no OBJ
lection to the sentiments ex-
pressed. They are all very fine
and worthy. In fact, the second
annual report of the Council
might even be made required
reading in economic classes in
the high schools and colleges.
But in this period when
foreign aid and initiation are
controlling problems of our
economy, it is something of
luxury for the economic ad-
visors to indulge themselves
in a public bull-session on life
in general.
In defense, it should be said
that the Council has said
many brave words about
foreign aid and initiation. But
the issues are hotter now than
when they talked about them
and my guess is that this cur
rent excursion into the eternal
realities is way of avoiding
the explosive potentialities of
