Supreme Court Asked
To Settle Merit Raise
Bargaining Question
ey the Associoied Press

The question of whether an en-
ployer must bargain with a union
before he can reward individual
workers with merit raises" is on
its way to the Supreme Court today.
A company involved in such a
case, j. H. Allison & Co. of Chatta-
nooga, Tenn, has sent word to
Washington that an appeal is being
forwarded here.
Many businessmen, labor leaders
and employees will watch for the de-
cision, which may come next fall or
winter.
The merit raise issue is closely
linked with pension plans and in
surance programs.
The question is: Are those three
things proper subjects for collective
bargaining under the Taft-Hartley
law?
NLRB Backs Requirement.
The Office of the general counsel
of the National Labor Relations
Board says yes" 1t says the law
requires employers to bargain about
those things if the union established
In plant so asks.
Many employers take the opposite
view. They say the law requires
bargaining on wages and working
conditions but not on such fringe
matters as merit raises, complex re-
tirement programs and group in
surance.
In the j. H. Allison case, the
NLRB-operating under the old
Wagner Actin 1916 found the
company guilty of refusing to bar
gain. 1t ordered the company to
grant no more merit raises without
prior consultation with the AFL
Meat Cutters Union.
The board went into court to en-
force It's order.
Last January the Sixth Circuit
Court of Appeals ruled in 81 de-
cision at Cincinnati that the board
was correct in its Interpretation of
the law. CThe Taft-Hartley Act of
1947 continued the Wagner Acts re-
quirement that employers must
bargain collectively with unions0
The Allison company, a meat
packing firm, now is taking the case
to the highest court.
Pension Situation.
As for pension plans, here is the
situation:
The five-man NLRB recently
found Inland Steel guilty Of refus-
ing to bargain, because it put into
effect changes in its pension plan
without without consulting the c1o steel
AS for insurance programs, the
best-known case involves General
Motors. Three weeks ago a trial
examiner for the NLRB found that
company guilty of refusing to bar
gain, because it announced an in
surapce program of its own without
bargaining about it with the CIO
auto workers. tt remains to be seen
whether the board will agree with
Its examiner.
Only yesterday. several industry
representatives went before the
Joint Congressional Committee on
Labor Management Relations and
asked that the Taft-Hartley law be
changed to make it clear that en-
ployers don't have to bargain on
pension and insurance plans.

To Recall Gen. Macarthur
BY the Asseeioied Press

The Senate Appropriations Com
mittee yesterday discussed Gen
MacArthur's wish to remain Ia
Japan for the present and made no
new move to recall him.
Chairman Bridges told reporters

jumped aside.
A check at the apartment house

nothing else. So Pvt. Moore resumed

GERMANY PRAISED BY GUEST SPEAKER
 AT KIWANIS CLUB

The Kiwanis Club met today noon in the Gold Room of the Baranof Hotel with Dr. Eric Mann as the guest speaker. He present. ed a similar speech to the one yesterday at the Rotary Club, and also stated he believes there will be no war in the near future as Germany is the key and it knows that Russia alone cannot win. They know that the United States is fully aware of the fact, too
 Dr. Mann stated that Germany wants unity of the Reich and the end of occupation and is working toward that end. Germany has no fear of the French and they are fully aware of the fact that Eng land is weak, compared to several years ago. The Germans realize the only way they can free them selves of the Russians in the occu- patton zone is to make a Russo German alliance.
 pr. Mann stated tle enemy of totalita. .anism is Democracy, not Communism, so we (the western 5Cwers) are the enemies, not Rus sia. Germany has rebuilt to 83 percent of her wartime production standard and we are making her strong by assisting and allowing her to reporduce at her near wartime capacity"
 Dr. Mann then quoted from an overseas news agency report made in July, 1945, which was approV- cd by Military Government au- thorities stating thus:
 "Germany's heavy industry and electrical manufacturing plans are recovering at a dizzy pace. Ger many is out-stripping the United States in the reconversion race reconversion for the benefit Of Germany's reconstruction. And what is happening here calls for a Congressional investigation.' pr. Mann stated that not one Con- gressicnal investigation has taken place to date.
 Larry Parker asked Dr. Mann to explain his soap industry" and Mann explained how his hobby started in collecting soap from various hotels throughout the country, and one day he discover ed that he had 1000 bars and didn't know what to do with them. Finally he sent them to the Chil- dren's Hospital in Vienna, Austria- Since then he has had the occa- sion to visit many of the chil- dren's hospitals in Europe and dis covered one place where all the children were blind and hadn't had a bath for over a week.
 He told about one fellow in Eu- rope who was given six-months jail sentence for stealing two bars oi soap. He also stated that the nurses in several of the French hospitals are forbidden to wash their hands due to the terrible shortage of soap.
 President Gene Vuille announc- ed that two delegates were need cd to go to the Kiwanis Interna- tional Convention in Los Angeles in the near future and further de- tails will be discussed at a special meeting.
 Guests at today's meeting were c. D. Willis, employee of the Anglo California National Bank of San Francisco branch office at LeMoore, Calf, and J. M. Faunce, retired Great Northern Railroad man from Great Falls, Mont.
