Comment On
World Events

Labor's protest against Taft
Hartley type of legislation was
echoed from a new quarter when
r. w. Crumb, supervisor of the
field staff, Canadian Department
of Labor addressed the annual con-
vention of the AFL International
Chemical Workers Union in Mon
treal.
Speaking on the improvement in
the Canadian economic picture as
a result of progressive labor leg
islation, Crumb noted the long
range gains that the Canadian
economy has made and brought
out the contrasting picture in the
United States situation. Six humid
red and thirty labor-management
production committees, backed by
the Canadian Labor Department,
are now in operation.
In contrast, labor-management
production committees in the Unit
ed States backed by government
have largely become inactive since
the war. Crumb declared, "Both the
public and labor are losing"
!. 4 \
Labor membership in Canada has
risen from 100000 to 100000
since the beginning of the Cana
ian program in 1889. Crumb stress
ed the value this endeavor has had
to management also. ut has re-
suited" he said "that the employ
ers' working force has become
eager and demonstrated great
ability in improving production
methods. Also, the consciousness
among labor union representatives
of the need for patterning their de-
mands to comply with general pub
lie welfare has led to the benefit
of both management and labor"
The tests applied to every policy
have been, "Is it good for labor
and at the same time good for the
nation as whole?
In commenting on Crumb' s
speech, President H. A. Bradley OF
the Chemical Workers said, "This
consciousness by the Canadian gov
ernment of the parallel aims of
labor and the public as a whole and
of the benefits that have come
from such an approach should point
up we'll once again the fallacies of
the Taft Hartley type legislation
in the United States."

Discussing "How Hard is Britain
Working" the quarterly review OF
the British Government Informa-
ton Services says that today
"there are more people at work
than ever before, there is almost
no unemployment, labor concen-
trates on key industries an works
long hours and there are very few
strikes. That is why Britain has,
succeeded in raising output so
Noting that Britain now has the
largest labor force in its history,
the review gives interesting facts
on unemployment. "Unemploy-
ment," it says. "was very low IN

been dropping still lower month byl

by the Associoted Press

NEW HAVEN, CONN, Dec. a.

thority who is recuperating from
a serious illness at a hospital here,
resigned today as director of ath-
letics and chairman of the board
of athletic control at Yale.
'.Doctorst orders" was the rea-
son. The resignation didn't come
as a big surprise to those close to
the scene.
The 5s-year-old famed olympic
and Yale swimming coach plans TO
retain a firm grip on his other
titles here-head swimming coach,
director Of the Payne Whitney
Gymnasium, chairman Of the
gymnasium committee and admin
istrator in physical education.
DR.. Charles Seymour. Yale pres
ident, said in letter to Kiphuth:
cit will not be easy to find a
successor.
Laurence G.. Tigue, university
treasurer, has been pinchhitting
for Kiphuth, but is reported anx-
ious to return to his mathematics.
Kiphuth was stricken with a
heart attack November 10 while
playing handball with q few Of
his coaching colleagues. He has
been showing steady improvement.
His physicians have promised him
that he can leave here next Janu-

with Yale swimming and physical
education since 1914. He has been
head coach of swimming since
1917 and director Of the Payne
Whitney Gym since 1910.
