Secretary of Labor Goldberg

potential labor unrest is a

Mr.. Goldberg expressed con-
Germ that labor unions seem to

efforts to shorten work hours
in order to share employment
opportunity in the face OF

MIR. Goldberg said the fact
that unemployment is con-

matter of continuing concern

istration. The President tole
