British Industry
Studies US. Woys

WASHINGTON (LPA) - 1t
was high point in the trip for
two visiting British labor man
agement teams from the pressed
metals and building industries
when they met here with ECA
Administrator Paul G.. Hoffman
and the press.
The teams are in this country
to study both the technical and
organizational aspects of Amer
ican pressed metals firms and
building projects They came
under the sponsorship of the
Anglo-American Council on Pro-
ductivity created by Hoffman
last year at the suggestion of Sir
Stafford Cripps, Britain's Chan
cellor of the Exchequer.
The Aim of the British teams
is to find ways to increase Brit
ish production rates and at the
same time give to Americans
their knowledge of processes in
which the British are superior.
The current teams are the
fourth and fifth British labor
management groups to come to
this country. The pressed metals
group, having been here a
month, are about to return to
England, but the building group,
are at the beginning of their
stay.
In greeting the two groups.
Administrator Hoffman pointed
out that their trip to see Amer
lean industry was a part of the
overall ECA technical assistance
program. He added that he
wished American and British
labor and management teams
started visiting each other so
years ago and pointed out that
workers and managers in both
countries had something to teach
each other.
Bert Jewell, labor adviser to
Mr.. Hoffman and a spokesman
for the AFL also extended a
warm greeting to the British
visitors. In the absence of Clin-
ton Golden, CIO representative
on Hoffman's staff, Jewell spoke
for the CIO as well as the AFE.

Is your plant amongst the
group in which the management
is trying to break down the pol
icy of the skilled trades, by post
ing notices on the bulletin
boards, with the batting average
of each man?
The employer wishes to retain
the alphabetical classification, to
better enable them to juggle
jobs, favor the boss pet, and
kill the mule.
If this parasite exists in your
plant and you are under UAW-
CIO contract, call Jordan 6239
or WAlbridge 4617g and arrange
a meeting of your group with
the Council, at a place and time
most convenient to your group.

The old adage here at the
National work steady for less
wages" seems to be a reverse
here of late as the amount of
men being laid off is heavy and
the bottom is rapidly approach
ing. We have sacrificed wages
now it seems we will have to
try and manage short work
week to further burden an un-
suitable income. c. Sullivan has
been seen to smile quite a bit
lately but perhaps he enjoys
what is taking place. To us it
isn't very humorous and the
feeling of the men in general in
most cases is more in the correct
attitude than the golf club that
is running the mill. We have ar
rived to the point that the only
remaining production job is of
our competitors. We wonder if
some of our extra supervision
would make good salesmen. AT
least that would be much better
than what they are doing now.
Attending our unit meetings
is of the utmost Importance dur
ing these times. The course of
action of the management or OF
the union will be fully de-
scribed and it may affect you.

If there is any safety viola
ton committed either by the
management or any employee
it will be to everyone's advan-
tage if it is reported immediate
ly.
Labor Day is nearing and it

Time For
Plain Talk
Continued from Page l

passed the House, and the
Pace Bill was defeated. The
Gore Bill is much better than
the present law because it re-
peals the Aiken Act and sets
price supports at 80 per cent
parity.
However, believe that the
Pace Bill would have been
more fair to the farmers be-
cause it provided for an ex-
perimental run for the Bran
nan Plan on three commodi-
ties, potatoes, eggs and wool.
/ may not be qualified to say
whether or not the Brannan
Plan is a good plan, but | do
believe that the farmer is en-
titled to some serious thinking
on his problems on the part of
Congress.
The farmer cannot continu-
ally be separated from his Gus
toner, the consumer, by an
artificial jacking up of COM
modify prices. The present
method of farm aid was prob
ably the best thing that could
be devised when it was begun.
But now, many farmers recog-
nize that the consumer can't
continue very long to be the
fall guy by paying out of two
pockets, once in prices of
goods he purchases and again
in his taxes.
I have talked to representa-
tives of farmers and they are
quite worried about this and
two other items in the present
program. The first is the fact
that huge purchases and stor-
age by government brings
about deterioration of some
commodities and destruction
of others to make room for
more purchases. This is a
waste that is economically un-
justified. The second disturb
ing fact is that the commodi-
ties purchased and stored by
the government are a definite
competitive threat to the very
farmers who produced them.
The Brannan Plan is design
ed to let farm products seek
their own level in the market,
without subsidizing the mar
ket, and applying the money
now used for market subsidy
for direct payments to the
farmer. Maybe it will take
more money or less money
for these payments than that
expended under the present
system. Neither | nor anyone
else knows the answer to that
one, There is only one way to
find out. That is the method
used by auto manufacturers
to find out if a proposed pro-
duct is any good. Try it out.
Congress refused to do that
when it rejected the Pace Bill.
1t seemed to me that there
was a great deal of fear that if
a tryout were made, the Plan
would prove successful. This
fear is based on what l believe
to be an entirely false conclu-
sion = that the American
farmer resists change and is
not progressive. My belief is
that he would welcome such
an experiment regardless of
what political party advanced
the idea.
In succeeding columns l
hope to discuss labor legisla-
ton, housing, old age bene-
fits, feedral aid to education
and other legislation in the
light of what has or has not
been accomplished in this Ses-
sion of Congress.

Steel Union
Tells Case To


New York LPA)-At hear
ings before President Truman'S
three-man fact-finding board, the
steel industry and the United
Steelworkers-CIO with its mil
lion members will fight it out
on the unions demands for con-
tract Improvements this year.
The board aims to end hearings
by mid-August, well before the
deadline for settlement or strike.
The industry, still catching
its breath after a series of fun
bles brought it within eight or
nine hours of a nationwide stop
page, is expected to cry loud and
long that it can't afford to give
any of the pension, health in
surance and pay boost demands
put forward by the union.
Point To Nathan Report
Meanwhile, President Philip
Murray of USA and his staff are
expected to draw heavily on the
report by economist Robert Ma
than on the steel industry.
Nathan says, 1T is apparent
that the steel industry could in
crease wages substantially and
still earn record profits at much
less than full capacity produc-
ton. If steel prices were to be
cut, there would be CORE
spending decline in profits. How
ever, the level of profits under
current price and cost condi-
tions is so large as to permit
both wage increases and price
cuts.
THE US Steel Corp, at 80
per cent of capacity operations
could increase wages 20 cents
an hour, cut its prices five per
cent and still earn its full 1948
profits under current cost con-
ditions.
Current profits in the steel
are so huge as to neces-
state sharing with both consul
ners of steel and employees in
he steel industry"
