Union Award for Employer
At unique union-sponsored din
ner on his 50th birthday anniver-
sary, Buchsbaum was presented
with a union "A" award, citing
him for the role he played in bring
ing about harmonious union-com-
pany relations, by Samuel Lader-
man, president of Local 241.
In presenting the award, Lader-
man pointed out that Buchsbaum
recognized right from the begin
ming of our new venture that pro-
fits go together with social respon-
sibility, and that ethical and moral
principles are not in contradiction
to sound business policies" That,
he added, has "helped i'm the con-
tinuous improvement of our wage
structure, in the continuous inn
provement Of business and, most
important, the consumer has bene-
fitted by the continuous lowering of
prices" of all products as a result
"of our efficiency and job respon-
sibility."
Program Is Described
Describing the "tools we used
for this successful experiment in
bettering human relations in in
dustry," Laderman said:
|. The union and management
agreed that discipline was joint
responsibility, with the union,
through its shop stewards, assum-
ing the responsibility Of discipline
wherever and whenever it became
necessary, the committeeman in
the workers department being his
Judge. Discipline became "a volun-
tary act on the part Of the work
err" in order to carry out his res
possibility on the job; it was not
imposed "from the top arbitrarily
by the foremen, supervisors or
other 'higher-ups,' but by himself
through his own representatives"
2. A group bonus, "where all of
the bonus money earned is pooled
at the end of the week and divided
equally among all the workers at
the plant" was instituted. This
plan mot only produces higher
hourly rates for the individual
workers." but has also improved
morale, resulting in "higher effic-
iency and better quality of the pro-
ducts made" The ordinary bonus
system, under which bonus pay
ments vary, breeds favoritism and
lowers morale.

Schuman Plans Rule
Without Socialists #
They Turn Down Posi-!
BY fhs kssoeiofsd Press

PARIS, Sept. 2.-Premier Rob-
ert Schuman announced today
that he intends to form a new
French cabinet without the So
cialists, If necessary.
The Socialists earlier voted against
accepting posts in a new coalition
government under Mr.. Schuman, a
Popular Republican. and many
thought he might refuse to go on.
The Socialists voted IN a caucus,
95 to S, against participation in
the cabinet, but their leaders sched-
uled another conference with Mr..
Schuman, confident the Popular
Republicans would ask them to re-
nconsider their refusal.
Forced Present Crisis.
The Socialists have participated
in every cabinet since the liberia
ton. They brought about the cur
rent situation by refusing to back
DIP former Premier Andre Marie, a
Radical Socialist, in his economic
policies. Mr.. Marie resigned last
Saturday and the assembly con-
firmed Mr.. Schuman as his sue
cessor Tuesday night. The Social
lists voted for him.
Socialist deputies emerging from
"a party caucus shortly before noon
said a large majority had voted
against entering the Schuman cab
met. They said the majority IA
vored giving Mr.. Schuman support,
but opposed taking any direct re-
sponsibility for his program.
When he went before the Assem-
bly, Tuesday night, Mr.. Schuman
said he would oppose wage increases
and favor increases in the prices of
bread and milk. The Socialists
want higher wages, plus a controlled
economy. .
MRP Socialists Chief Partner.
Mr.. Schuman's Popular Repub-
lican Party CMRP) has been the
Socialists chief partner in recent
cabinets. They rank as the second
and third most powerful groups ir1
the National Assembly and must
work together for any government
that excludes the Communists.
The Communists have more votes
in Parliament than any of their
rivals, but not a majority. So far,
they have found no group willing
to work with them.
The MRP is willing to 60 along
with the Radical Socialists and the
independents, who resist wage in
creases and want less government
control of business.
Mr.. Schuman is faced with the
task of working out compromise to
satisfy all three groups. His friends
have said he will not accept the
votes of the Socialists IN Parliament
without their sharing the response
bilities of government. a
Strike Threats Increase.
Meantime, the Socialists hand is
being forced by threats of increasing
strikes. The walkouts have been
scattered so far, but are growing.
Most important was 24-hour
textile stoppage called for today in
the Lille area. The strike may in

Many Enjoy
 Hubbard Films

The Valley Theatre bulged at the seams last Saturday night as a record crowd gathered to hear the lecture and see the films of Father Hubbard, the "Glaicer Priest"
 Father Hubbard prefaced the movies with his interpretation of the present international situ- ation. He has just returned from two years abroad. Before that he was overseas with the Army during the war years.
 In addition to his well-loved film on the glaciers above Taku Lake, Father Hubbard showed a color movie he made in China. It was primarily concerned with the activities of the Catholic Church there.
 Before showing the Alaskan film, Father Hubbard expressed his belief that the 1O0-mile area in south central Alaska, of which the Matanuska Valley is the heart, will be the site of greatest development d in the territory.
 T believe that in this 10O-mile area, beginning at Gulkana," he said, 'there lies all that will de- velop of industry and progress. I don't think that most of Alas ka's vast miles will ever be de- veloped. I wouldn't give you 10 cents for the whole of Fairbanks and all the area north of it; all of the tundra in the Arctic and all of the Aleutian Chain is of no value. In this area (the Valley area) your opportunity lies"
 Father Hubbard later added that the "Kenai Peninsula also is good"
 Saturdays lecture was present ed through the efforts of Father James Snead of St. Michaels Catholic Church.
 Father Hubbard plans to spend the next week or 10 days vaca- tioning in the Valley area.

No Campers, Camps Cancelled

The boys camp, planned un- oer the joint sponsorship of the Anchorage junior police and the YMCA, has been abandoned, it was recently announced by Art Stacey. Valley boys, eight years of age and older, had been asked to participate in the camp, which was to have opened yesterday.
 A second camp for boys, which was to have been held at Kings Lake, also has been cancelled. A lack of interest on the part of An chorage boys was given as the reason for the change in plans.
 MT. Stacey said several Valley boys had been interested in the camp, and he regretted the neces- sity for the cancellation.

The 1893 Constitution of the

A tenable conclusion from the
foregoing is that the Party in
1927 desired to achieve its pur-
pose by peaceful and democratic
means, and as theoretical mat
ter justified the use of force and
violence only as method of
preventing an attempted forcible
counter-overthrow once the Party
had obtained control in a peace

Europe engaged in suppressing
the abortive liberal revolutions
of that year. With this back
ground, its tone is not surprising.
ITS authors later stated, how
ever, that there were certain
countries, ''such as the United
States and England in which the
workers may hope to secure their
ends by peaceful means"
Lenin doubted this in his mill
tant work, 'The State and
Revolution" but this was written
on the eve of the Bolshevist
revolution in Russia and may be
interpreted as intended in part
to justify the Bolshevist course
and refute the anarchists and
social democrats.
Stain declared that Marks
exemption for the United States
and England was no longer valid.

N NE OF the first stories l
~ saw when I got back
from abroad was an announce
ment that Lyman Bradley had
b cen SUSPENDED indefinitely
from the faculty OF NYU.
Bradley, in case you don't
remember, was an associate
professor and chairman of the
Department of German at New
York University.
He was removed as head of
the department after he and his
fellow directors of the Joint
Anti-Fascist Refugee Commit
tee were convicted for contempt
of Congress. Their conviction
followed their refusal to turn
over their records to the House
Un-American Activities Com
mittee.
PRIVATELY. strictly off the
record, just between us, with
the shutters closed, I suppose
most of the university's trustees
would be prepared to admit that
Brad1ey's conviction did not in
volve moral turpitude.
There may be a few who in
the privacy of their own
thoughts recognize that his Of
tense attestedsto moral princi-
pie.
The records of the committee
on which Bradley served had
been gone over thoroughly by
the US. Treasury. If anything
wrong appeared or was sus-
pected. the records could have
been seized al any time for
grand jury inquiry. The House

tence-three months and $500
fine-is a light one.
It is not a pleasant thing to
spend time in prison, though
there have been periods in his
tory-and this may become one
of them when it was an honor.
The serious penalty is the in
definite suspension, perhaps to
be made permanent.
This deprivation of ones life
work is heavy punishment for
a teacher.
