Up To Business
To Cut Prices,
Nufhon Warns

New York (LPA) - Now that
Congress has betrayed its unwill-
ingness to impose strong controls
to curb initiation, the job of reduc-
ing prices is squarely back in the
lap of business, economist Robert
r. Nathan told an importers meet
ing here last week.
The former War Production
Board official, who wrote the CLOS
1916 wage-profit-price study, spoke
at luncheon sponsored by the
Lewis Steiger importing firm,
which has just announced that it is
cutting the price of the hosiery it
imports from England by 15 per
cent, in view of tariff reductions.
Initiation has endangered the
structure of our economy, Nathan
said, and failure of the government
to impose overall controls will
surely result in a slump unless
business men throughout the coun-
try are willing to make those price
cuts which their rate of profit per-
mitS.
The Marshall Plan will keep up
the level of exports, Nathan thinks,
but it will not substantially in
crease the role of foreign trade in
maintaining our economy. Recess
sion in 1947 was prevented by the
"second round" wage increases
which pumped additional purchas-
ing power into the economy during
the first half of the year, even
though new price increases have
since more than overtaken the
wage boost, he asserted.
Nathan concluded that accumu-
lated inventories can only be dis
posed of by price adjustments. If
boarding continues there will be a
slump which will mean not only
millions of unemployed here, but a
decline of American world prestige.
Businessmen must learn to content
themselves with a consistent, mod
crate, level of profit over the year,
and to dispense with the high pro-
fits spurts that always lead to de-
pressions.

subversive list "may or may not
be helpful" in determining the
loyalty of a particular individual.
The Federal Bureau Of Investi-
cation is required to furnish each
agency's loyalty boards with any
"derogatory information" that it
has obtained about employees. An
accused person must then be ac-
corded a hearing by his depart
ment's loyalty board, which recon-
mends the disposition of the case
to the head of the agency. Prospec-
tive Federal employees will appear
first before regional loyalty boards.
Employees or job applicants re-
ceiving adverse judgment may ap-
peal to the Loyalty Review Board
for a rehearing of their cases if
they desire. A panel of the Review
Boards members will hear the ap-
peal and the Board will act upon
the panels findings, making its rec
concentrations to the agency head,
or the regional board which first
heard the case. Although the Exc
cutive Order establishing the pro-
cedures gives the Review Board

not given proper respect by the

Coils For Price
Controls To
Hold Standards

Washington OPA)-Labor Sec
retary Lewis Schwellenbach, in a
New Years statement this week
called for legislation giving the
President power to control prices
of goods in short supply and items
whose prices are fixed by monopo-
lies.
He said that labor's second
round" wage increases were moder-
ate and equitable, but they have
been offset by the increased cost
of living. Few workers, he main
tanned, have received any real i'm
provement in living conditions, and
some in the lowest income brackets
and those fixed salaries have lost
ground as a result of initiation.
"Workers, organized and unor-
ganized, would rather have their
real wages increased by means of
lowered living costs rather than
have a money increase that soon
will be wiped out by higher costs"
the Secretary asserted. Prices will
not come down of themselves, he
added. "We can have no real price
competition in items in short sup
ply or where prices are fixed by
monopoly practices"

Time-Study Men
Right To Bargain
Through Unions

Washington (LPA)-Time study
men are expert, fact-finding en-
ployes, not management personnel,
the NLRB held in its first ruling
defining the term professional
employes" as used in the Taft-Hart-
ley law.
The Board unanimously ruled, in
a Worthington Pump Corp, case,
that time-study experts are "pro-
fessional employees" and therefore
entitled to organize for collective
bargaining under the law with the
Boards protection.
A three-man majority, Board
members Herzog, Houston and
Murdock, emphasized that 'the
principal function of these employees
is to determine the factual basis
for the operation of the company's
incentive wage plan. Although it
appears that they exercise consid-
cradle judgment and discretion in
the performance of their duties,
they do not do so to any substan-
tial degree in the formulation of
management policies" 1t added
that 'the statue itself refutes the
company's contention that en-
iployes in question are to be depriv-
ed of status because of the nature
of their duties, by express language
-'employes engaged in work in
volving the consistent exercise of
discretion and Judgment"
The Board affirmed, however,
that the provisions of the law re-
quire that such employees always
bargain through a separate unit,
not as part Of rank-and-file
union.
Two members of the Board, Rey-
nolds and Gray, in separate opin-
ions stressed this aspect of the Act,
and dwelt upon the unique relation
ship with management which time
study men hold Board member
Reynolds wrote that since their
work affects the settlement of
grievance cases as well as incentive
wages "there must be no room for
compromise in loyalty"
The case arose from the unwill-
ingness of the Worthington Pump
& Machinery Corp, of Holyoke,
Mass, to bargain with the indepen-
dent Times & Motion Study Assn.
A requirement of the Boards de-
cision is that the union within 30
days register with the Board its
financial statements and comply
with the non-Communist affidavit
provisions of the ft-Hartley law.

new party that will fight for
"peace and abundance" He denoun-
ced the Marshall Plan for Euro
pean recovery, claiming that it is
dividing Europe into two warning
camps. Not only will the new par
ty oppose Truman's reelection, he
said, but it will also campaign
against all Congressman who sup
port universal military training.
Admitting that the new party can
not hope for electoral success, Wal
lace said that his army is "small in
number, powerful in conviction,
ready in action" and that a large
"peace vote" will show the world
that the u. S. does not support the
obi partisan, reactionary foreign
policy" Wallace did not outline any
economic policy for his new party,
but ascribed the high cost of liv-
ing to "war preparations" He made
no direct mention of the Taft-Hart-
ley law.

children left homeless and orphan
ed by the ravages of war. He ex-
pressed his thanks for the mag
nificent assistance rendered by the
AFL and its members during the
war for relief purposes and voiced
the opinion that continued support
will be Forthcoming in the future.
He said:
"The AFL, in it's endorsement
of the Marshall Plan, realizes that
governmental relief is not enough.
You are determined to show the
world that an American believes so
intensively in democracy that your
membership wishes to give of their
own personal funds for help and
relief"
Mr.. Blanchard, speaking for the
Community Chests and Councils,
gratefully acknowledged the splen-
did cooperation and assistance rem
dered by members of organized la
Dor at local and national levels to
make the 1947 local community
chest drives an outstanding success
which will lextend the spirit of
Christmas throughout 194S. He de-
clared:
"This success of the 1947 cam
paigns is due to the fact that you,
and your fellow Americans from
labor, management, and the pro
Ifessions, made Of your Community
Chests everywhere fine instru-
ment of true democracy, voluntar-
lily supported. People got together
and worked and gave, not only in
their home towns for their local
Community Chests, but through
their national leadership.
"The intelligent cooperation of
the AFL leadership is a case in
point. 1t has history of which
you can all be proud. The gains
achieved by your Labor League for
Human Rights during the war per
Iiod are being strengthened in peace
time. More and more trade union
members are being developed for
positions of responsibility in their
local Community Chests and Coun-
ellis of Social Agencies"

Hits At Policy OF
Industrial Giants

Philadelphia. - The voice of
small businessman here was raised
in protest against the high price
policy of the nations industrial
giants.
Benjamin Foster, president of a
paint manufacturing company, in
letter to big business executives
whose companies supply him with
raw materials cited the almost con-
tinuous rise in prices and declared:
"If there was ever an opportun-
ity for big business to step in and
stop this vicious cycle, we think
this is it."
Foster questioned the executives
on their announced intentions to
hold any price increases to a min
imum. He said:
"You have notified us that prices
are going up because of increased
labor, material and freight costs.
You tell us almost without excep-
ton that you are reluctant to raise
prices and the increase will be held
to minimum. Do you mean it?"
An itemized list of increases
that affect his paint business were
cited by Mr.. Foster. These included
up 25 per cent for the lar
gest one time increase in our 20
year experience; asbestos, up 20
per cent, also "the largest one-tlme
increase; cans, up 10 per cent;
oils, up II per cent since August
/; glycerine, up "a per cent since
August /, and pthalic anhydride,
up 20 per cent since August |.
He further pointed out that by
the time these increases reach the
consumer the amount of the in
crease is double sometimes triple
what it was at the big business
level"

Typos Are Putting
TIL Law On Trial

Chicago (LPA )-Ihe Ia1t-HafI-
ley Act practically went on trial
here as a subcommittee of the
House Labor Committee swung into
the second week of the hearings
into the strike of the init Typo
graphical Union-AFL on six Chi
cago daily newspapers.
Spokesman both for the publish
ers and for the Typos blamed the
Act for snarling up labor-manage-
ment relations in the industry. The
former, however, insisted on con-
tract complying with the Act,
while the Typos wanted one that
would get around the pitfalls of
the law.
At one point, as union witnesses
denounced the law, Rep. Thomas
l.. Owens (R., ILL.,, chairman Of
the subcommittee, broke out with
this surprising statement:
"If the leaders of labor want to
abolish the Taft-Hartley Act, | Will
be in accord with that. There should
not be an act on the books that
would help employers only"
Then he went on to claim that
the Act "is advantageous to labor
also," but in the same breath de-
clared that "The government should
not interfere with labor contracts. .
Whether Owens meant all re
said, or was merely grandstandinG
at the moment, wasn't certain, Dut
labor observers felt his remarks
showed that some Republicans, at
least, aren't happy over the TIL
Act.
Meanwhile, John L. Pilch, pres
dent of Local 16 here, made it
clear that 'we really are going to
put the heat on soon;" in other
words, that the local will redouble
its fight for a showdown with the
publishers.
He indicated that the 5000 mem
bers employed in commercial print
shops may soon walk out, too, as
result of a breakdown in negotia7
tions for a wage increase and for
conditions of employment" that
protect the CLOSED shop" The old
contract expired on New Years
eve, though the printers did not
follow that up with
a stoppage.
Should they walk out also that
would prove a serious blow to the
publishers of the dailies. Up to
now, the dailies have been able to
operate by having private print
shops turn out the display lads"
and by having the news of the day
typewriter. A shutdown of the
print shops would cripple advertls-
ing revenue for the papers.
Another significant development
of the week was disclosure by
the ITU that, outside of Chicago
and a handful of other cities, many
daily newspapers are going along
with the unions mo contract" pol
icy. So far, the lTU said, "225 local
unions and their employers are
happy without contracts but with
increased wages-all of these since
August %. 1947."

prices had advanced more than l5
per cent. Consumer prices, rising
rapidly in the second half of the
year, were up rs per cent through
November"
The high prices were the main
cause of the "on paper" rise in the
total national product to $3.50 bill
lion, the Commerce Dept reported.
The Commerce report stated:
"Although output generally was
higher in 1947 than in the previous
year, supplies were not sufficient
to satisfy deferred demand or to
prevent important price rises. New
postwar peaks were reached in the
output of such important durable
goods as freight cars, automobiles,
refrigerators and washing ma
chimes. Production of some nondur-
able goods fell off in 1947, includ-
ing textiles and clothing, and
Shoes"
Another set of figures that look
ed better on the surface than they
did when subject to expert inspec-
tion were those on savings. The
Securities & Exchange Commits
sion found that in 1947 Americans
were saving at twice the per-war
rate. However, the increases in saw
ings were in bank checking ac-
counts - used largely by high-in-
come people-and in Series F and
G government bonds, the larger de-
nominations preferred by wealthy
investors.

VA EXTENDS PERIOD FOR
RENEWAL OF INSURANCE

Washington, d. C-The Veterans
Administration extended until July
81, 1913, the right accorded vet
Grams to reinstate lapsed CT in
surance without new physical ex-
animation.
The action was taken because of
doubt that Legislation for a one
year extension would be passed at
the current special session of Con-
gress.
The VA said that veterans
term" insurance, which was issued
to men in service, may be reinstat-
ed on payment of two monthly
payments. Reinstatement of poll
cies converted to permanent insur-
ance requires payment of all pre-
miums missed during the period in
which the insurance was not in
force.

Washington (LPA)-Publication
of the regulations which will gov
ern the work of the Loyalty Review
Board for Federal employees by
Chairman Seth Richardson has pro-
duced an aftermath of concern in
liberal and labor circles.
The American Civil Liberties
Union, which protested many of
the features of President Truman's
executive order which set up the
board last spring, has offered, in a
letter to Richardson, to provide
free legal services to Federal en-
ployes accused of disloyalty under
the Boards regulations. The ACLU
SAYS that it will assemble groups
of competent attorneys in key cities
to assist as many of the accused
employees as possible. ACLU
sources report, however, that the
Union will not associate itself with
defense proceedings on behalf of
persons against whom there is con-
vincing evidence of Communist
Party affiliatiori.
Most of the criticism of the
Boards regulations has centered
around its statement that the FBI
will not be required to furnish to
the Board or to the accused the
specific evidence on which charges
of disloyalty are based, nor will
the names of accusers be made
known. Richardson has said that
the Board will not have the "bene-
fit of the skilled investigation of
the FBI unless the facts received in
confidence by investigators can be
kept entirely confidential"
President Abram Flaxer, of the
United Public Workers, charged
that this rule reduces the Loyalty
Review Board to "mere window
dressing for police state proceed
ings." Attorney Abe Fortas, form
er Under-Secretary Of the Interior,
commented that this provision ne
gates the right of the accused to
counsel. at is doubtful" he said,
"if lawyer can be much help to
a person accused Of disloyalty if
he is to be denied the right TO con-
front his accusers, or the opportu-
nifty to cro%-exarnine witnesses"
Chairman Richardson frankly ad-
mitted his own concern lest the at
tempt to keep the Federal govern
ment free subversive elements and
foreign agents degenerate into a
witch-hunt. In a press conference
he insisted that he opposed any
sort of through control, an& that
a Federal employe should be free TO
hold any views, no matter how radi-
cal, as to charges in the economic
and political systems of the U. S.,
so long as he did not work towards
these objectives in unconstitutional
ways, and provided his incentive
doesn't come from a foreign pow
err"
In the text of its regulations the
Board cautioned loyalty boards in
the various Federal agencies that

thetic association with" organiza-
