Navy officials pointed out that they
haven't any power or desire to fire
employees of companies holding de-

power is limited to requiring that
"poor security risks" be put or
non-defense jobs.
The Navy had called two work,

contacted Secretary treasurer

Navy does not have the right to
order the dismissal of workers,
and promised to assist in securing
their reinstatement.
Then the Navy itself revealed
that Westinghouse was using the
Navy to cover its own action.
UE officials have contacted
Westinghouse "high brass" in Pitts

two men be rehired. Both deny

Than Year Ago

New York (LPA)-Output pei
man hour of work is greater thar
it was year ago. In heavy in
dustries the Increased production
of labor is particularly noticeable
"Good labor relations and union CO.
operation" were cited as necessary
to better production rates by some
of the corporations which furnished
data for the Natl Industrial Con-
ference Board study released last
week.
Over two-thirds of the corpora
tions reported said that output had
increased over 1947, while only 10
per cent noted decline.
Among the industries in which
the increase has been marked are
auto, steel, industrial machinery
and machine tools, office equipment
and paper. No change in produc-
tivity was reported by the leather
and textile industries.
Compared with pre-years, how
ever, the increased output is not
so notable. About 81 per cent re-
ported increases over the l939-4l
averages, while % per cent observ-
ed declines.
A few corporations said that
good relations with unions were
an important factor in improving
their efficiency. Many more i'm
piled that sound labor relations
were necessary to industrial pro-
gress.
Most often cited factor in the
however, was new
and improved tools and equipment.
Some companies said that adoption

They represent vested interest
and their opposition to national
health programs stems from this,
and not from any real fear that
they will be made servants of the
state"
We think that trade unionists
in this country can profit from the
lesson learned by their brothers
in Great Britain that the opposi-
ton of the A. M. A. to our own
proposed National Health lnsur-
ance Program can be overcome
by the sheer weight of public opin-
ion.
In the meantime, while the La
Dor Government in Great Britain
is working out the kinks in the op-
Grafton of it's health program, the
people in this country should not
be allowed to forget that two out
of every three Americans-some
100000 of us-can not meet the
cost of a serious illness without
financial help, and that sickness
and disability cost the people of
this country SO billion year in
medical costs and lost earnings.
1t is high time that the American
madica rprofeSsion realized that
when the people are sufficiently
aroused they will have national
health program, regardless of the
doctors opinion. 1t would be bet
ter for everyone concerned if the
profession dropped its losing fight
and joined in making adequate
medical services available to all
the people.

Lobbyists Need
A Union Too,
Ben Morsh Soys

Washington (LPA)-Ben Marsh
executive secretary of the Peoples
Lobby-veteran legman in Wash
ington for all sorts of progressive
causes-has come up with a cute
idea. He says that his fellow lobby
lists are getting unduly bad pub
licity these days. What they neec
is union-"The Lobbyists Protec-
tive Association"
One thing that Assn could dc
for the agents of the big corpora
tions would be to help the boys
fill out the expense account forms
which the Lobbyists Registration
Act requires them to file with
Congress.
But it's greatest service would be
to force through law requiring
the Congressman themselves to file
reports OH their stock and bond
holdings, their real estate invest
ments, and the business connections
of their relatives. Why turn the
spotlight only on the lobbyists?
Marsh thinks that this data on
the Congressman would be inter-
esting as is the material which the
lobbyists themselves have to make
public. The S0th Congress- passage
of the tidelands oil grab, which
President Truman vetoed but which
the COP 194S platform endorses,
prompts Marsh to wonder about
the integrity of our lawmakers.

We Will Have A National
Health Insurance Program

Inauguration by the Labor Gov
ernment in Great Britain of the
new National Health Plan is OF
particular interest to American
trade unionists for two reasons.
First, it represents the crowning
achievement of the Labor Govern
ment, a government put in power
by the working men and women OF
that country, and representative
of their interests.
Second, it represents a victcry
over the conservative British Medi-
cal Association, which was finally
forced to bow to the force of pub
lie opinion.
The new health plan provides
for free medical care-hospitali-
zation, specialist service, dental
treatments, medicines, maternity
care, home nursing, eye and ear
care and physical aid-to all per-
sons, men, women and children,
rich and poor alike. And everyone
has the free choice of his own doc
tor.
About one-fourth of the cost
will be paid for directly by the
employees out of their regular cons
tributions to the national social Sc
curity fund. The rest of the cost
will be carried by general taxesj
national and local.
The British Medical Association
long opposed the health program
on the grounds that all doctors
would be put on salary and there
by made Servants of the state.
The doctors later dropped this op-
position and admitted that their
argument was sheer nonsense when
they found that the health pro-
gram had the overwhelming sup
port not only of the people but of
the Conservative party as well, and
that the doctors themselves were
about the only group left that was
opposed to it.
The truth is that most members
of the British Medical Association
like its counterpart in this coun-
try, the American Medical Asso-
ciation- are mostly conservatives.

DENHAM PURSUES UNIV;
STEEL TRUST ACCEPTS
BITUMINOUS CONTRACT

Washington (LPA)-The NLRI
last week withdrew its request fol
an injunction against the United
Mine Workers in the steel com
panies' captive mines" case. But
one of Robert n. Denham's under
lings said: "The General Counsel.
office is still firmly of the view
that the charges filed in this cas-,
have merit and proposes to pro
secute those charges with full Wig.
or"
Denham had asked Judge T
Alan Goldsborough to force work
ers i'm the steel trusts mines to re
turn to work despite the companies
delay in signing the bituminou:
coal contract. Along with Denhan
the companies asserted that the re
fusal of UNIV President John l.
Lewis and other union leaders tc
sign the Taft Hartley non-Com.
munist affidavits makes the unior
ineligible to have a union shop con.
tract,
WITH Judge Goldsborough aban.
doning his role of injunction mer.
chant for that of arbitrator, the
steel trust yielded last week and
accepted the national bituminous
contract with the UNIV that com
mercial coal producers signed last
month.
The UNIV victory brings all soft
coal diggers in the country under
oae set of provisions-with a 81 a
day wage increase and a sound pen
SIGN and welfare fund. Workers
in the "captice mines" of US Steel
Co, and the other big Integral
ed" steel firms have returned to
work.
Only modification that Colds
borough insisted upon was one of
fered by the UNIV to the steel com
panies during last months negotia-
tions-the insertion into the con
tract of a clause providing for
voiding its union shop provisions if
the NLRB and the courts eventual
ly find them illegal.
The UNIV cannot be expected to
yield to an anti-labor ruling from
the NLRB or a lower court, and
will be able to maintain its contract
terms at least until the case
reaches the Supreme Court. To date
there has been no indication of how
the highest courts judges think
about the constitutionality Of the
non Communist affidavits section
Of Taft Hartley.

GAIN
SIS INCREASE

New York (LPA)-Altho both
parties were coy about revealing
exact terms of their contract, 1T
appeared last week that Actors
Equity Ass'n-AFL had won a real
victory in its negotiations with the
League of New York Theaters. A
pay increase of SIS a week for
actors and musical show perform
ers highlights the agreement.
Base salaries for actors while
working in the metropolis will rise
from 500 to $75 week. When a
show is on the road the base pay
will be $50. During rehearsals per-
formers will get $40 under the new
contract.
Arbitration of disputes will be
handled thru an impartial panel,
it is reported. Producers were dis
satisfied with Equity's stand for
continuance of an actor councils
jurisdiction over grievance cases.
Artists working in a show retain,
however, the right to first consid-
er the complaints of their collea-
CUES.
Stage managers are guaranteed
minimum wage to-$175 in New
York, and 5000 on the road. For
handling the chorus girls in mu-
steal the rates are $25 higher. The
girls are assured the same base
pay as actors.
A number of contract details still
have to be worked out. But both
sides seem to be satisfied with it's
basic provisions.
