.Meany Tells
Legion Of Big
|ChangesAhead

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 4 (P.-
President George Meany of the
AFL-CIO told the American Le-
Igion National Convention today
that the United States is at
the threshold of a second indus
trial revolution"
"Automation, coupled with
atomic power. will change the
lives of all of u.s." the leader of
the merged labor organization
said in the opening session of
the legion's 38th convention.
Labor sees no reason to fear
the time when factories will run
virtually on an automatic basis
with machines operating ma
chimes.
There will still be plenty of
work to be done by people.
There are new schools and bet
ter homes and improved roads
to be built. There are great
water power and flood control
projects that haven't as yet
left the drawing boards.
Shorter Work Week Hinted
And if it becomes possible
to put into effect a shorter work
week to maintain full employ
ment, let us promptly accept
this opportunity to tighten the
burdens of the American people
and enrich their lives"
Turning to the international
situation. MI. Meany said what

Mr.. Meany said that whether
he knows it or not, the Egyptian

bined with the free major health
program.
AS a possible first step in such
a program, Chairman Murray of
the House Civil Service Commit
tee has instructed the General
Accounting Office to study the
feasibility Of a Federal employee
health insurance payroll deduc-
ton plan. This is sought by the
insurance groups because it
would cut the cost and time
spent in collecting premiums.
GAO officials indicate that
such a plan would be feasible.
1t probably will suggest that a
health insurance clearing house,
to be financed by the 800 types
of insurance firms in this busi-
ness be created to handle the
credits and depositing of funds.
The annual cost to Government
in processing the payroll deduc-
ton funds to the clearing house
would be less than So million,
according to some estimates.
Once such a plan went into
effect, the next step would be
move to provide Federal en-
ployes with package basic and
major medical health insurance
program, with the Government
! to contribute SO per cent toward
the basic part Of the insurance
The major medical phase would
be free to the employe.
Administration officials all
along have said they have nc
objection to such q health in
surance package deal if the de.
tails can be solved and the pro-
grams operation be m a d
feasible.
UNION DUES CHECKOFF--
If a health insurance payroll de-
duction plan is worked out AID
approved by Congress. you can
look for Federal employee unions
to ask for a voluntary dues
Icheckoff system.
One of the great difficulties Of
the classified employee unions has
been holding down the turnover
Iof members. They feel a volun-
Itary dues checkof system would
help hold many members. since
lit would eliminate the chore Of
individual collections and also
would insure against employees
running behind in their union
dues and dropping out as a re-
suit Of it.
