Bakersfield, Cal. OPA)- The
well-worn technique of using an
employer controlled Citizens
Committee" to make public the en-
ployers' side Of a strike has been
dragged out in the 14-week old
strike of 100 members of the Natl
Farm Labor Union-AFL at the Di
Giorgio ranch near here.
The "Citizens' Committee" report
was featured on the front pages
of the Los Angeles Times and the
Bakersfield Californian. 1t was a
complete whitewash of the Di Gior-
gio corporation, which has refused
to recognize the NFLU as bargain
ing agent for its employees.
Replying to the report. NFLU
representative Hank Hasiwar and
Secretary Robert Tentzer of Local
81, Int'l Brotherhood of Teamsters-
AFL said: "The Committee was
made up of businessmen and the
second largest fruit farm owner in
the country. No one representing
labor or the consumer was on the
committee"

the company benefited substantial
ly from the business that came
it's way during the big telephone
strike of last spring.
The unions asserted that the
company made an extra profit of
$12,000,000 and could afford to
grant the wage demanded. The
company made a counter offer
which was rejected by the unions
as entirely inadequate.
WI Refused Proposal
Government conciliators had sug-
gested more than 2 weeks ago that
the wage controversy be submitted
to some form of arbitration but
until the final agreement here the
company had stubbornly refused
the proposal.
Signing the agreement for the
unions were President Brungs of
the CTU Western Union Division;
Hal r. Swami, president of the
Telegraph Employees Union, and w.
Lee Cooney, president of the Tele-
graph Workers Union.

Research Director
OF u A W Reveals
Industry's Profits

New York UPA) = "Some
unions, at least, now look upon
statistics as social tools-as in
struments for the measurement of
social performance of our economic
machine," Nathan Weinberg, re-
search director of the United Auto
Workers told the annual meeting
of the American Statistical Assn.
Illustrating his contention, Vein
berg told the learned society that,
in the first half of 1947, Corpora
tions made 36.4c in profits for
every dollar paid out in wages and
salaries" He said that with half
of these profits they could have in
creased the wages and salaries of
all their employees by 1872 per
cent"
He told the statisticians that
"After paying 40 per cent in cor
porate income taxes on the remain
der, they would have had profits
at the rate of 8.5 billion dollars
"a year. This is more than double the
average of Al billion dollars of
1869, the years regarded as
normal for excess profits tax pur-
poses, and it is equal to the profits
of 1889, the year of the big boom
that spawned the big bust"
Speaking about his own industry,
Weinberg reported that during the
second and third qaurters of this
year the General Motors Corpora
ton "made profits at an annual
rate substantially in excess of 20
per cent of its net worth" He
charged that if GIN had been "con-
tent with a generous 8 per cent
return, it could have reduced the
price of its cars from $125 to $3.50
or increased the wages and salaries
of all its employees by more than
one-third."
In citing these figures, the UAW
research director charged that "the
stream of information which is the
very life blood of true democracy
is daily polluted by the distortions
and half-truths of interest groups"
Weinberg's conclusion was that
the people eventually will demand
"a look at the books of the great
corporations-say the $50 manufac-
turing corporations that control
two-thirds of all corporate owned
manufacturing facilities :" He
said that the people "will want to
find out why the decision of the
masters of those corporations are
so often out of harmony with the
needs and aspirations of the Am
erican people, and that they will
want to know how, on what basis
and by whom are the decisions
made to produce or not to pro-
duce, to cut prices or to raise them,
to hoard profits in idle reserves or
to invest them in providing more
work and higher living standards"

Labor Management
Chiefs Appointed
To TIL Act Panel

Washington, D. C. QLNS)- Will
liam Green, president of the Amer
lean Federation of labor, has been
appointed by President Truman
one of 6 labor representatives on
the National Labor Management
Panel created by the Taft-Hartley
labor act.
The law provides for the APP
pointment of 6 Outstanding" rep
resentatives of each side to "ad-
wise in the avoidance of industrial
controversies and the manner in
which mediation and voluntary adj
justment shall be administered,
particularly with reference to con-
troversies affecting the general
welfare of the country"
In addition to Green, the fol-
lowing labor men were named to
the panel: William l.. Hutcheson,
president, United Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners; Harvey w.
Brown, president, international As
sociation Of Machinists; Philip Muir
ray, president, CIO; Clinton S. Col
den, chief of the Labor Division
of the American Mission for Aid to
Greece; Allan S. Haywood, vice
president, CIO.
Management members are: James
Black, president, Pacific Gas and
Electric Co.; Benjamin F. Fairless,
president, United States Steel
Corp; Paul G.. Hoffman, president
Studebaker Corporation; George M.
Humphrey, president M. A. Hanna
Co.; Lewis Lapham, president, Am
erican-Hawaiian Steamship Co.;
Charles f. Wilson, president, Gen
eral Eleceric Co.
Example To Others Seen
Announcing the appointments,
President Truman said:
appointment to public office,
even on part-time basis, calls
for a considerable expenditure of
time and energy, and a consequent
sacrifice of private responsibilities
and interests. On several occasions
/ have spoken of the difficulty of
filling public posts with men of in
sight and broad experience. The
willingness by these outstanding
leaders of management and labor
to serve on the National Labor
Management Panel should not only
be of considerable assistance to Di-
rector Cyrus S. Ching, of the Fed
eral Mediation and Cancellation
Service, but should furnish an ex-
ample to others to place them
selves when needed at the service
of their country"

lating is Patterns of Union Man
agement Relations by Frederick
HARRISON and Robert Dublin (Sci-
ence Research Associates, Chica-
go, $3.75). What makes this book
an important contribution Is that
the authors have sought to probe
beneath the terms of the collective
agreement in explaining in two
specific instances the course of la
Dor management relations. They
have looked into the personalities,
the ideologies and the economic
gaining.
And for their case histories they
have chosen one instance of a COM
bative union-management relation
ship (UAW-CIO and the General
Motors Corp and another instance
of a cooperative relationship (the
UAW- -CIO and Studebaker).
In the case of this book, | would
say that what they tried to do is
probably more important than what
they actually succeeded in doing.
What they tried to do was to de-
part from the accepted method OF
conducting such Investigations =
which has been to study, in full
detail, the provisions of collective
agreements. Instead of dwelling on
the words in collective agreements,
they have concerned themselves
with the people involved and their
sentiments and ideas about unions
the union president and the cor
poration president, the shop stew
ard and the foreman. Here then is
the real raw material far under
standing industrial relations.
AS | have said, the actual ac-
hievement is less impressive than
what the authors tried to do. |
think the authors rely excessively
on statements made by union and
management representatives for
public consumption and not enough
on a clinical observation of the col
lective bargaining process IN action.
But if the Harbison-Dubin enter
prise sets a framework from which
future studies Of industrial rela-
tions in action can proceed, their
efforts will have been eminentiy
worthwhile.

November. He warmly praised Cy-

ing about the agreement, signed
after II hours of discussion.
To Rule On Points
Under the agreement, a 3-man
board headed by Director Ching,
will make "final and binding" rul-
ings on these points:
What the relevant facts are to
the determination of the "the then
wage profit relationship" as that
term is used in Article 60 of the
agreement dated April l, 1947, be-
tween the Western Union Tele-
graph Co., and the 3 AFL unions.
Whether contract conditions
were reopened by the union Oct. l
or Nov. /, 1947, under the terms of
the reopening notices it filed.
The board must hand up its rul-
ing within so days, which would
mean on or before Feb. 8, but it
must give both company and the
union and opportunity "at least 5
days before the final issuance of
such decision to comment to the
board on its proposed decision"
Fat Profit Claimed
After the issuance of the deci-
sion, the unions will resume nego-
tiations on their demand for a 15-
cent hourly wage increase. The de-
termination as to the wage-profit
relationship in the present contract
must be made principally because

Green, told President Truman Of
the AFL effort to enlist support
of organized workers in the l6
countries which would benefit from
the recovery plan. George Meany,
AFL secretary-treasurer, Matthew
Vol, chairman Of the federation's
Free Union Committee, and George
M. Harrison, president of the Bro
therhood of Railway Clerks, were
the other members of the delega-
tion.
Voice For Labor Stressed
Following the meeting, Green
told reporters that he was impress
ed by the Presidents reaction to
the labor program. He said that
plans were being made for a con
ference of trade unions in the l6
countries.
The 17-point AFL program
stressed that the full benefits of
ERP must be applied on a demo-
cratic basis. By this is meant that
in all anticipating countries, ia
Dor must be adequately represented
in the planning administration and
execution of ERP."
All controls required in the full
fillment of ERP, it was said, "are
to be planned, directed and execut-
ed by the authorized representa-
tives of labor, agriculture, industry
and the government"
Respect For Rights Asked
The AFL program proposed that
the American government adhere
to the policy that "all nations whom
we aid have the inviolable right to
decide democratically their own
political and economic relations"
On this point, the program de-
clared that "our government cam
not emphasize too strongly that it
is not the purpose of American eco
nomic assistance as envisaged IN
the Marshall Plan to infringe in
the least on the national sovereign
ty or independence of any people" "
The AFL urged that the 3 wes-
tern zones Of Germany be unified
under an Independent German gov
ernment, "the form Of which is to
be decided freely by the German
people themselves ON a democratic
basis"
Return OF War Prisoners Urged
This was called necessary sin
view Of the Russian policy of de-
liberately preventing an agree
ment in regard to Germany and
the Soviet insistence on maintain
ing its zone as a totalitarian base
for the conquest and absorption Of
the rest of the country"
In view of the damage caused
by "the reckless and destructive re-
parations policy of the Russian
government" the /~AFL proposed
that all further rcparations be sus-
pended until the economic restora-
tion of Germany was achieved in
line with the program Of Secretary
of State Marshall.
