SconIon PIun Effective Move In
Promoting In Teamwork Plan

Washington, D. c. (ILNS) =
Secretary of Labor Maurice j.
Tobin has strongly commended the
Scanlon Plan, union-management
productivity plan conceived by
Joseph Scanlon of the Massachu-
setts Institute of Technology.
In an address at Boston before
the National Association of Cost
Accountants, Tobin said that the
plan, under which the worker par
ticipates in increasing productivity
and which offers bonus to the
workers for tangible savings in
labor costs, is "fresh and satisfy
ing approach to solution of the
labor problem"
1t is not a paper program,
Tobin emphasized, but "has been
put to the test in number of in
stances, and it has been successful
in big as well as little concerns"
Formula Must Be Worked Out
Quoting from an article by Rus
sell w. Davenport in the January,
1850 Fortune Magazine, the Secre-
tary said that the worker partici-
patton under the plan Consists in
finding means to reward labor for
any increase in productivity, and
then in building around this for
mula working relationship be-
tween management and labor that
enables them to become a team.
Once team has been established,
it is found that labor's prime in
terest, just like that of manage
ment, becomes productivity"
"As practical men, Tobin told
the accountants, "you will be think
ing of the formula for applying the
Scanlon Plan. The point is to find
a normal labor cost for the plant
and then to shape a method for
giving labor the benefit of savings
under that norm. That means,
says Mr.. Davenport, that some
kind of link must be found between
the worker and overall shop pro-

Senate Group 0k's
Union Hiring Hall

Washington OPA) - The Taft
Hartley act means the death of
maritime unionism unless provision
is made for retention of the union
hiring hall, a majority of the Sen
ate labor-management subcommit-
tee concluded April %. BY 5 to 2
vote, the group approved a report
suggesting language by which the
act could be amended to authorize
hiring halls for seamen and others
in the maritime industry.
Favoring the hiring hall were
Democratic Senators James +.
Murray (Mont.), Matthew Neely
CIV. VaD, Claude Pepper (Fla)
and Hubert Humphrey (Minn.) and
Republican Senator Wayne Morse
(Ore.). Dissenting were Republican
diehards Senators Forrest Donnell
(Mo.) and Robert Taft himself
(Ohio), who were expected to file a
minority report.
The subcommittee majority stess-
ed they had no power to recon-
mend specific legislation to the full
Senate Labor Committee. However,
they said that if the full committee
wished to legalize the hiring hall
but limit it to the maritime indus
try there should be no ambiguity
in the necessary legislation. The
language suggested would auth
orize union operated hiring halls
for licensed and unlicensed seamen
in deepsea, coastal and inland
waters and for longshoremen.
The hiring hall became a crucial
issue last winter when the US
Supreme Court refused to review a
lower court decision that the Great
Lakes hiring ball operated by the
National Maritime Union violated
the Taft Hartley act.

BIG SIX CELEBRATING
IT'S Tooth ANNIVERSARY

heavily in bonds and contributed il
all the other ways open to civilians
But the unions support of the ma
tion in time of war is hardly the
whole of its history.
Perhaps Big Six members really
showed their mettle during the
Great Depression of the 1930'S
when unemployment within their
ranks was at an all time high, Big
Sixers met the problem with time
and money which meant great sac
rifice for those still working Be
tween 1881 and 1885, they spent
$8,000,000 to keep unemployed bre-
thren on their feet. Most of the
money was forthcoming before fed
eral agencies were ready to take
care of the jobless craftsmen Of the
printing trades. It's estimated that
those who were working gave about
IL percent of what they earned to
help those who weren't.
New York printers first organ
lied during the American Revolu-
tion when the British flag flew
over the city. They disbanded after
winning a strike for a decent wage
scale. Apparently they just had too
much faith in employers. The next
organization was set up in 1894 and
lasted nearly three years. In 1899,
a third group was set up.
1t was in existence until yellow
fever threw New York into fear
and despair in 1903 and 1904. A
fourth organization was born in
1909 and was vigorous until 1916.
The real precursor to Big Six ap-
peared in 1881 when working print
ers formed the Typographical AS
sociation of New York, which dur
ing its militant nine-year life in
stituted the famed chapel system
Of shop administration, and in 1888
established a Municipal General
Trades Union of workers in 21
lines. One of its members, a union
printer named Ely Moore, was
labor's first Congressman. In 1847,
the printers set up the New York
Typographical Society, benevol-
ent and charitable society which
still exists. But it was not until
1850 that unionism among printers
as we know it today became fact.
It's a rare union that faces its
second century and Big Six is con-
tent to do so without straining his
tory to include earlier organization
al efforts. It's members know that
if they carry on the traditions they
have established the third century
will dawn in time. They know too
that Big Six will then be able to
look back on 200 years of service
with pride as they know they now
can look back on the first 100. They
know that union printers will be in
the forefront of labor progress al
ways.

ductivity.' And that means, in turn,
in view of our industrial variety, a
challenge to cost accountants.
"Once the formula is worked out,
then everything else falls into line.
Labor gets all the labor saving,
management profits from increased
sales with no corresponding rise is
overhead and labor costs. The
bonus goes to all the workers and
not only merely to individuals who
made helpful suggestions. Chang
| ing conditions will necessarily lead
to adjustments, but with everybody
being a member of the team, under
the right sort of management and
the right sort of union leadership,
the give-and- take of a relationship
on mutual understanding and ap-
probation makes for accommoda-
tion."
"To get the best results from the
Scanlon Plan, a union is needed, :
Tobin continued. "but a distinction
is always made between union af-
fairs and productivity affairs.
Grievances are handled separately
from the business which comes be-
fore union-management producti-
vity committees. Sometimes the
Scanlon Plan is part of collective
bargaining agreement, frequently
it is not. But always it brings labor
into the family picture, it makes
the workers an integral part of the
enterprise, it clothes modern mass
production with the individual init
iative which seemed for while to
have utterly vanished"
workers who have come to be-
lieve that they belong will act ac
cordingly," the Secretary said.
"They will be creative participants
to an extent undreamed of under
any conventional industrial ar
rangement. i

-. BY ALEXANDER s. LIPsETT CAN ILNs Feature)

Labor's organization drive OF
1850 is in full swing and the Ana
erican Federation of Labor will not
rest content until one million new
members are brought into the fold
by the end of the year, states the
Federationist in a report on re-
cent two-day union organizers con-
ference in Washington, d. c. The
campaign, authorized by last years
AFL convention in st. Paul, Minn.,
honors the memory of Samuel
Gompers, whose Tooth anniversary
organized labor presently cele-
brates.
Inspiring as the Washington con-
fab was, it was not all devoted to
peptalks. The task is difficult but
far from impossible, AFL Presi-
dent William Green made plain.
Above all, the eyes of the as yet
unorganized working people must
be opened to the fact that "to be
called good trade unionist is the
highest praise to which free
workingman can aspire" And Sec
retary-Treasurer George Meany, in
an analysis of Americas economic
and social health, made the pen
trating observation that the ma
tons 40,000,000 unorganized work
ers are losing So to So daily in
wages for the sole reason that they
are not union members.
:. y y
Much is talked in the press and
on the radio about what it costs
to belong to a trade union, George
Meany declared, but nothing is said
about the cost of being a non-union
worker. He added that only by join
ing their strength together can the
men and women bargain
with their employers on anything
like an equal basis, and that this
collective strength can be obtained
only through union organization.

ganized will also benefit the nation

trable barrier against communism

California LLPE
Endorses Douglas,
James Roosevelt

San Francisco (LPA) = James
Roosevelt wasfendorsed overwhelm-
ingly for governor, and Rep. Helen
Gahagan Douglas for US Senator,
at the state convention of the Cal
ifornia Labor's League for Poll
tical Education. LLPE is the poll
tical arm of the American Fedora
tion of Labor.
The convention vote followed ex-
ecutive committee action, where
the oldest son of the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt got 81 votes to 8
for Gov. Earl Warren, after both
were interviewed.
Rep. John F. Shelley, president
of the State Federation, and c. j.
Haggerty, secretary, said the pro-
Roosevelt movement was "grass
roots" drive, with not a single en-
dorsement for Warren coming from
any local LLPE.
Warren had AFL backing in
1916, but he opposed AFL measures
in the legislature in 1948. On the
Taft Hartley issue, Roosevelt is for
repeal, but Warren is for amend
ment. Both Warren and Roosevelt
are seeking both the Democratic
and Republican nominations, pos
sible in California under its cross
filing system.
A demonstration for Roosevelt
followed the vote. Roosevelt, es-
corted to the platform, called on
labor to fight the special inter-
|ests" and, citing the Bell System
profits and requests for higher
rates, said ,"that's the way the
earning power of labor is siphoned
off and put in the pockets of spec
ial interests. We must fight those
special interests"
Mrs. Douglas is opposed in the
Democratic primary by Manchester
Boldly, Los Angeles publisher. The
Republican candidate will be Rep.
Richard Nixon.

and other totalitarian preaching
which thrive on human misery.
George Meany's argument, to-
gether with President Green's re-
minder that organization of the un-
organized hinges upon "giving
them service of such quality as to
convince them of the reality of the
benefits that flow from union men,
bership," fittingly co m p m e mt
Samuel Gompers' unwavering en-
phasis on union organization.
Whether wage earners can be IN
duced to join the ranks of trade
unionism to the extent anticipated
by the AFL, depends on develop
ments in the coming months and
organizing ability. The AFL lead
ership believes they will. Most of
the work ahead is in the chemical
and textile industries, among white
collar employees, and other trades
in which labor has made little head
way so far
\ :. =
This column, needless to say,
shares these expectations. However,
being both analytical minded and
skeptical, it cannot help but take
a look at the reverse side of the
picture.
Specifically, from the South and
East comes word that many work
ers are abandoning their old unions
and joining the catch-all District
so of the United Mine Workers
GndD. Apparently new effort is
under way to make District so the
nucleus Of new union movement
and spearhead against the forces
which at one time or another have
incurred the displeasure of the
UNIV leadership.
This development is particularly
noticeable in Kentucky, Pennsy
sylvania and West Virginia, accord
ing to Edward II. Weyler, secre
tary-treasurer of the Kentucky
Federation of Labor. "Whole dis
tricts have been taken over by Dis
trict 50," Weyler warned in letter
to the central labor bodies of his
state; Gin many cases the AFL
unions are folding up and sending
their charters back to their res
pective unions"
Whether the situation is as grim
as Brother Weyler paints it, this|
column has no way of knowing.
Nor does it pretend to understand
how District SOS wholesale raids
fit into the pledge of the UNIV ma
tional leadership to Phil Murray's|
latest plan, aimed at coordinatingI
all labor efforts in the economic,
legislative and political spheres,
and working toward organic unity,
In any event, a gathering of union
representatives from 8 states inl
Huntington, w. Va, arrived at thel
SOLDERING conclusion that the invas-
ion must be stopped and every eff
fort made to regain the ground
we have lost"
What this means is clear. Much
of the work meant to break new
union soil will have to be wasted
on defensive action; large share
of organization and money will be
expended in repelling labor unions |
which prefer stealing other unions
membership to pioneering work of
their own. Unless the holes in the
union dixie are plugged, the AFLsl
bid for a million new members is |
apt to bog down in a free-for-all |
with unions solely concerned with
their own short-range interests.
