Electrical Union
Hits Anti-union
Policies By REA

Washington (LPA)-A fight 10
the finish against what it termed
anti-labOr policies Of the Rural
Electrification Administration was
proclaimed this week by the Int'l
Brotherhood of Electrical Work
ers-AFL.
President Dan. w. Tracy charg-
ed that while the Truman admins
tration is pledged to encourage
ment of collective bargaining, the
REA is trying to undermine union
ism on farm electrification pro-
jects.
He pointed out that organized
labor played a major role in bring
ing the REA into existence, that in
its earlier years the agency main
tanned very friendly relations with
labor, and that in 1941 REA enter
ed into a memorandum agreement
with the union under which it OBJ
ligated itself to promote decent
labor standards among all REA CO.
operatives. In recent years, how
ever, Washington officials of that
agency have been backtracking
from that pro-union position, Tracy
said.
What brought the issue to a
head, he said, was the stand taken
by the REA in connection with new
electrification projects in Montana.
The union has agreements with
seven REA cooperatives in that
state containing a provision that
work let by contract would be done
under union standards. The union
asked state agency which acts as
loan applicant for REA coopera-
tives to notify contractors on new
construction of that provision so
that their bids would be guided
accordingly. The state agency ask
ed REA top officials for their
views on that request. In reply,
REA Acting Administrator Will
lam c. Wise told the state board
that such provision might increase.
costs and jeopardize Federal loans.
Tracy promptly wrote Wise, as
sailing the latter's position as a
violation of REA's earlier policy
on labor standards and as a
"throwback to the days of sweat
shop employers" He asserted the
REA would do better to apply it
self to increasing efficiency I'M
management and reducing its own
high administrative expenses, in
stead of destroying union condi-
tions of labor"
On that point, he cited the fact
that the House Appropriations
Committee, in report just issued,
had sharply criticized the "exor-
bitant fees paid for engineering
and legal work. by the REA. Yet
the agency, while trying to hold
down workers wages, has shown
no equal zeal in curbing excessive
fees to engineers and lawyers,
Tracy said.
"REA cooperatives have full
legal power to enter into agree
ments for union conditions on con-
tract work." he added. 81 believe
they should be applauded and not
discouraged from entering into
such agreements by a government
to a policy of collective
bargaining"

has even denounced a medical plan
sponsored by the New Jersey Medi-
cal Society because it would in
volve government subsidies to pro-
vide medical care for low income

Such proposals, the committee said,
are attempts to appease propon-
ents of the Welfare State'".

shows since 1916 special interests,
chiefly big business lobbies, spent
nearly $30,000,0O0 in their efforts
to have their own security written
into federal law.
Carroll r. Daugherty, chairman
of the Presidential Steel Board,
said: "The safest and least expen-
sive way of providing retirement
benefits in a country like the
United States is to have only, or
mainly, an adequate federal plan
of universal coverage."

Industry Pensions
Are Here To Stay
Top Experts Agree

4
pensions are here to stay, top pen
sion experts agreed at an indus
trial relations conference sponsor
ed by the University Of Minnesota
The experts also agreed that pri
vate pension plans must observ,
three basic principles:
Funding: there must be regu
lar deposits into a pension funC
rather than dependence on the con
tinued good will Of an employer.
2-Vesting: a guarantee to th'
worker that his share of the pen
sion fund will be available to hin
upon retirement age or earlier
even if the worker changes employ
ers.
3-Employe participation: res
possibility for conduct of the plar
and investment of funds must be
shared by both the employer anC
the workers.
The experts at the two-day con.
ference included Arthur j. Alt
meyer, federal social security com
missioner; Lane Kirkland, AFL
economist; Herbert r. Northrup
economist for the employer-domin-
ated Natl Industrial Conference
Board; Lawrence A. Henninger
president of Strutwear, Inc, Mime
apolis hosiery firm; Raymond c. b
Hove, New York tax lawyer; Frank
B. HARRISON, of the University OF
Chicago; and Abner Brodie and
Edwin K. Witte of the University
of Wisconsin.
One speaker disposed of conten-
tions by some employers that pen
sions might wreck the economy by
pointing out that the same argu-
ments were once used against the
eight-hour day.
The conferees were told that
there are 1900 industrial pension
plans today, 13 times as many as
in 1910; there is little doubt that
even if social security benefits go
up, unions will oppose any cut in
private benefits; there are twice as
many persons over 65 as there were
in 1925, and by 1880 the figure will
be double, or Is per cent; present
social security benefits average
$26 a month, and even if they are
increased will average only $50 to
sos; federal benefits could provide
only a base on which a worker
could build more adequate retire
ment pay.
Employer spokesmen were for
employe contributions, arguing that
would encourage worker initiative.
Kirkland pointed out that COM
pany-financed plan was cheaper,
since it was tax-free, and that even
if workers contributed they would
want the same take-home pay,
thus in effect forcing the employer
to pay their share as well.
Although it was admitted that
vesting would raise the costs Of
any plan-one estimate said that
it would double the -costs-it was
agreed that it was unjust to PEN
alize workers who do not stay with
a company long enough to be eli
gible for retirement. One expert
said that less than half of the
country's workers would be eligi-
BILE unless there was vesting-thus
forcing them to live on inadequate
federal benefits supplemented by
public relief.

which might have made such a
noise, she looked into the cistern..
When Mrs. Sampson took a stick
and probed in the cistern, she dis
covered the boys body. 1t was
believed Tommy had been in the
water about Is minutes.
Elmore firemen used resusci-
tator in unsuccessful efforts to re-
vive the boy. The body was taken

ciGental death by drowning.
