Uneasy Truce Defers
Hotel Strike. Here as
Negotiations Go On
By Tom Burke

An uneasy truce between
threatening local hotel
workers and % major. hotels has
been effected by the Federal
Mediation Service but virtually
no change in the position of
either. side on a contract dis
pute was reported this morning.
Negotiators who met at 1890
am. yesterday at the Sheraton
Park Hotel were still bargaining
this morning in a marathon
session called by the Mediation
Service.
Wen withhold strike action
as long as there is any hope for
some agreement to be reached"
a spokesman for the four AFL
unions said this morning.
5000 Workers Involved.
About 5000 hotel workers are
involved in the dispute in which
union negotiators are authorized
to call. a strike when they feel
such action necessary. Workers
were expected to walk off their
jobs when their contract ex-
pired shortly after midnight last
night.
Gilbert s. McCutcheon, re-
gional Office mediator and Clyde
Mills, assistant director Of the
Federal Mediation Service, are
assigned to the dispute.
A union spokesman said today
no change in the position OF
either side has occurred as a re-
suit of the day-and-night ses-
sion. He indicated negotiations
would continue throughout the
day.
The union is seeking a 15-cent-
an-hour general pay increase, a
schedule of eight holidays year,
improvements in health and well
fare benefits, union shop clause
and a pension plan. The hotel
association is pressing for re-
newal OF the same contract
which expired at midnight.
Originally the hotel associa-
tion, proposed a 5 per cent re-
duction in pay for the workers,
a union spokesman said, but
withdrew this demand at earlier
bargaining sessions.
The pay cut was suggested, a
union spokesman said, on the
grounds that business has not
been as good this year as it was
last year.
Four Unions Involved.
The four unions involved are
No. SO (service workers., No. 781
(waiters, mattresses and bus
boys), No. 209 cooks and kitchen
helpers) and Bartenders' Local
No. rs. All are affiliated with the
Hotel and Restaurant Employees
and Bartenders' Association AFL.
The hotels involved are the
Ambassador, Annapolis, Bur-
lington, Congressional, Conti-
mental, Dupont Plaza, Harring-
ton, Hamilton, Houston, Hay

have had to go through during
the past eight months.
DR.. Somers declared the ad-
ministration has been giving
Federal employees ian unremit-
ting psychological pummeling"
through badly handled state-
mentS and misstatements on the
part OF agency and department
heads egarding 6 Government
employment. Threats and hints
Of future job cuts have aggra-
vated an already extremely un-
easy feeling on the part Of Gov
ernment workers.
DR.. Somers points out that the
contemplated Federal employ
ment cuts in the next nine
months will not be very large and
that most of them can be taken
care of by attrition. But some
how the administration, in its
poor employe relations, has man
aged to make almost all employees
feel their jobs are insecure. Fur
thermore. mishandling appears
to have caused a large number of
the layoffs already made to be
confused with political job re-
placement"
QUERY-One Of the most fire.
quently asked questions is
whether displaced career work.
ers registered in the CSC's sepa-
rated career employees program
can displace employees in indefi-
mite jobs who have status in
other Federal positions. The an
swer by the csc is no. they can
not.
Incidentally, Mr.. Young this
week will send letters to all de-
partments and agency heads
asking their full cooperation in
the CSC's program to find jobs
for jobless career workers. Mr..
Young will inform the cabinet
officers and agency heads that
President Eisenhower is Solidly
behind the programs and wants
full compliance with the COM
MISSIONS orders.

DEFINITION - Another fire.
quently- y-asked question is: What
is a career employer" The Civil
Service Commission says a ca
reer employe is any worker who
has secured permanent status
and has served the probational
period in the job.
OF course. there are different
kinds of career workers. Those
who have status in their present
jobs have retention rights over
other employees. Career employees
who have been transferred or
promoted during the past few
years into indefinite jobs can
be bumped" by persons with
status in that grade. However,
this group of career workers do
have unemployment rights to
their old jobs in which they do
have status. b

Mrs. Luce Says U. 5.
Could Help Italy on
Population Problem
By the As,oeiatsd Pra.,

Mrs. Glare Boothet Luce said
today the United States could
strike IAN incalculable blow" at
communism by helping Italy and
other European countries solve
the problem of over population.
my job would be easier-and
Italy's future brighter-if some
answers could be found to this
question of overpopulation," said
Mrs. Luce. the United States
ambassador to Italy.
"And secondly, there is the
question of the United States
liberalization of trade with other
countries. If Italy could trade
on more favorable terms in
United States markets, and in
European markets, it would nat
urally help her economy"
Mrs. Luce expressed these
views in an interview with the
magazine U. S. News and World
Report. She was interviewed in
Rome.
She returned again and again
to- the question of overpopula-
ton, which she described as
Italy's greatest problem, and
said that contrary to popular
belief in the United States it
does not stem from an excessive
birth rate.
1.-THE birth rate of italy is
lower than that of France" she
said, land considerably lower
than that of the Netherlands or
the United States"
Take in Italians.
The United States would help
greatly If it would take in its
fair share of the many Italians
who want to emigrate," Mrs.
Luce said.
Many people here hope to
see America take a vigorous
lead at a world level in the
solution of this problem, not
only taking it's fair share of
people but even contributing its
reasonable share to the financ-
ing and operation of a world
wide program in which all in
tereSted nations would CO.
operate for moving people to
places where they can be
economically productive" Mrs.
Luce said.
"Overpopulation in italy and
other European countries is the
greatest human problem that
faces the West. It's solution
would, I believe, be an incal-
culable blow to communism in
italy and elsewhere.

status.
The personnel data is now be-
ing compiled and Mr.. Young ex-
poets that the information will
be made available to the en-
ployes shortly after October /.
Taking cognizance of the great
unrest and uncertainty among
Federal workers regarding their
jobs, Mr.. Young feels that there
is no reason why they should re-
main in the dark.
The csc chief says the actual
amount of dismissals in Federal
jobs during the nine months
ahead will be comparatively
small. He says he can appreci-
ate the apprehension among
Federal workers when they have
not been told anything about
their agencies future plans.
Mr.. Young feels that the en-
ploye morale will be bolstered
considerably after the figures are
released. The commission chief
says some reductions, will be
made between now and June 30
he recently estimated it would
be about 80,000-but that the
majority Of them would be by
attrition. This 10000 reduction
would be out of the total of "a
million Federal positions.
when the figures are made
public, most employees will be
able to relax and have a reason
able feeling of job security" Mr..
Young declared.
~ y
POOR APPROACH - Most
personnel officials agree with H.
M. Somers, chairman of the Po-
litical Science Department of
Haverford College, that "the
sheer reductions-in-force, real
and anticipated, represent a far
more disturbing influence on the
civil service than 'unclassifying'
of jobs or replacements."
In a widely praised speech
last week before the American
Political Science Association, DR..
Somers emphasized that it
wasn't so much the fear of poEt-
ical raids but rather reductions
in-force that we're demoralizing
Federal employees morale.
That's why Chairman Young
wants to do something. specific
to end this trend. And he feels
that giving employees the true
facts will do the trick.
In this regard, it is interesting
to note what DR.. Somers had to
say about what Federal employees
