Shiskin Reports
Manpower Plans
Agreed By ECA

Washington (LPA)-Boris Shis-
kin, labor advisor in the Economic
Cooperation Administrations Paris
headquarters, explained to Presi-
dent Truman last week a new plan
agreed upon by ECA and the Eu-
ropean MarshaRplan countries for
giving European workers free ac-
cess to all available jobs.
The AF'N. econonl;st-on-leave said
that the creaCto-r a western Eu-
ropean labor pool will make it pos
sible for unemployed workers in
some countries to help remedy the
shortage of labor in others. Work
ers for whom there are jobs out
side their native lands will be free
to move to these places where they
can best be used, Shiskin said.
"Its stand-out-sign of Euro
pean cooperation" the union re-
preventative declared.
Under the pool the 16 Marshall
plan nations will set up require
ment estimates for skilled labor,
plus roster Of labor they have
available. Industries, working thru
the various governments, will then
be permitted to requisition workers
in specified skills as they are need
ed.
The workers, who will be per-
mitted to go freely from country
to country, will be guaranteed the
prevailing wage at the cite of their
work, Shiskin assured the Presid-
ent, who said that he is Every in
terested'' in the plan.
Shiskin also revealed that the
Organization for European Econ
onnic Cooperation-the committee
of the 16 nations-has asked its
member governments to make full
use of the Int'l Labor Organiza-
tions new Observation-Disclosures
program. The ILO project is model
led on US training methods.
1t is believed that the new pro-
posals will give jobs to 100000 Of
Europe's 100000 unemployed.

Wise Policies Can
Check Depression

Washington, ID. C. 0LNS). =
The United States "has a splendid
chance" of avoiding depression
in 1949 or any other year, Leon
H. Keyserling, economist and vice
chairman of the Presidents Coun-
Gil of Economic Advisers declared
here. He said the country can alb
sorb a proposed $15,000,000,000
military budget without curtailing
other essential services.
Keyserling, in a radio interview,
painted a bright future picture,
but he acknowledged there are "de-
finite danger signals to look out
for"
The final danger signal, he said,
is "when people do not have enough
income to buy the output of full
production and full employment" +"
Also to be watched, he continued,
are "maladjustments" in the econ
omic structure between price levels
and income levels of the people.
Keyserling said the nation by
adopting "the necessary policies"
can avoid a depression, but "it
won't happen automatically"
"Depressions, like wars, are
man-made," he said. "They don't
come down from the sky. We have
an even better chance of avoiding
a depression than international ten
sion, because international tension
depends on other countries, but
our own prosperity depends mainly
on what we do within our own
borders"

Only Nonprofit Polls Of
Value, Union Head Finds

Milwaukee (ILNS). - That al
polling results must be "taken with
a grain of salt" was proved con
clusively in the last election, and
only polls conducted by nonproft
groups are of any value. These
conclusions are drawn in a cur
rent analysis of opinion polls con-
tanned in the monthly research
publication of Building Service
Employees International Union.
Written by the AFL unions re-
search director, Anthony G. Vein
lein, the article points out that the
post-election excuses of the big
polls are factors which were known
TO them but were ignored in deter
mining their results.
"In retrospect" the BSEIU man
asserts, "their results look like
mere guesses-possibly influenced
by a little wishful thinking" He
says the pollsters were not guess
ing. With a profitable future at
stake, they had to do their "best."
Their failure really lies in the ma
ture of polling results and the
methods used. The article details
these failings to show that no poll
can be positive, although the polls
ters "have been giving the impress
sion that they were selling certain
ties"
Poll Boycott Asked

Are They Honest ?" which appear
ed earlier this year in the Build
ing Service magazine recently won

Operation Dixie Celebrates
TWA Victory At Rome, Ga.

Rome, Ga. (LPA)-After almost
half a year on the picket line, 1900
workers at the Rome, Ga. plant OF
the Celanese Corp. finally won
their point that the South is part
of the union now.
Textile Workers Union of Am
erica won a 15c-an-hour raise in
the rayon INDUSTRY last August but
Celanese, which granted the raise
at its Maryland plant, offered only
7I2c to Rome workers carrying
even heavier workloads.
After the company had refused
arbitration, the 1900 TWUA mem
bers walked out and stayed out un-
til they won their 15c. The final
negotiating team that scored this
victory was headed by Textile
Workers Vice President George
Baldanzi. During the strike, Bald
AMI and several hundred others
were cited for contempt for violat-
ing a mass picketing order. The
question has not yet been settled
as to whether the picketing ban
was legal.
The company resorted to the
most primitive union-busting tech
niques, but without success. 1t dis
tinguished itself by being the only
company to turn down an invita-
ton from Cyrus Ching, head of the
US ConciliatioE Service, to meet
with him in Washington. 1t tried
a "back- -to-work movement" in
late October which flopped com
pletely.
Outrageous violence by scabs
reached its climax when ten year
old David Atkins, son of striker,
was peppered with shot as he chop
ped wood in his back yard. Police
are holding strikebreaker Pete Sea
lock on charge of assault with in
tent to kill. They think he fired 10
pellets at the boy, mistaklng HIM
for his father, Robert Atkins.
Following a request by TWUA
President Emil Rieve, James Muir
ray 3D., Mont.), incoming chair
man of the Joint Committee on
Labor Management relations, ann
ounced (about a week before the
end of the strike) that he would
investigate what he terms IAN out
standing example of the reverslon
to the labor arrangement tactics OF
of the 10Th century which has been
stimulated by the Taft-Hartley
law" There has been no specula-
tion as to whether the threatened
investigation had anything to do
with Celanese' capitulation.
The Southern Drive has gone
better than ever before in the last
month or two. The Celanese vic
tory comes right after the nation.
al convention voted new funds to
the drive, which has already
brought many wages below the
Mason Dixon line up to those thru
out the nation.

Professors Argue
High Profits At
Congress Inquiry

Washington (LPA) = Members
of the Congressional committee
named to check the economic pulse
of the country, under terms of the
Employment Act of 1947, this week
turned their attention to the pro-
fits of the nations businesses.
Are profits too high? And il
they are, what should be done
about it? These were the questions
answered first by two Harvard
University economists, with wide
ly varying views. They are being
followed by Stanley Ruttenberg,
lCIO research director, and Nelson
Cruikshank, AFL director of SOC
| ial insurance activities, later this
week. A dozen prominent indus
trialists are also scheduled to tes-
tify.
Profits at present are too high,
said Harvard Prof. Seymour
Harris. Profits in 1947 were just
about at the same level as the
"boom" year of 1929, he said. On
the other hand, his colleague Sum-
ner Slichter insisted that US corp
orations have overstated their pro-
fits by approximately $16.4 billion.
Two reasons for the overstatement
according to Slichter are that
l"most corporations still insist on
counting a rise in the cost of re-
placing inventories as profits" and
that "most corporations count the
rise in the cost of replacing plant
and equipment as profits"
Replying to Shelters under
statement of profits" argument,
Harris pointed out that under pre-
sent accounting practices Of corp
orations, profits look higher now,
and lower in periods of dropping
prices; under Slichter's proposal,
profits would look lower now, and
higher in a recession.
Harris pointed out that "sud-
denly, some businessmen are bring
ing pressure on accountants to
change their methods so that large
inventory profits will not seem as
much as they are"
Anyway, Harris said, corpora
tions have plenty of funds to in
vest in new plant and productive
facilities. During the war years,
US corporations piled up $81 bill
ion in savings, of which they've
only spent $50 billion. He added

Initiation, urged reimposition of

BEST LINE LEFT OUT

Washington (LPA)-The oil in
dustry was strapped" for cash in
194S, Joseph Z. Pogue, vice-presi-
dent of Chase Natl Bank told a
congressional hearing on business
profits last week. This startling
statement was based on a lot of
fancy economic reasoning that
Pogue built up in his testimony be-
fore the committee. The "handout"
to newsmen, however, had one
sentence carefully crossed out.
"The change in trend" the censor
ed line read, "is reflected in the
fact that oil company earnings
reached their peak in the second
quarter of 1913 and have been de-
clining since then"
