The Ydrdstick
Would Labor-Management
Conferences Work?
by Msgr. George G. Higgins

There is no way of telling
at this point whether or not
organized labor will succeed
in raising wages substantially
during the next round of
negotiations. 1t is almost GER
tain, however, that labor
would fight back very vigor-
ously if the Administration
were to try to enforce its
productivity formula. At pres
ent, of course, there is no in
dication that the Administra-
ton intends to force the issue.
Secretary Goldberg has al
ready indicated that there is
plenty of room" for wage in
creases - in some industries
at least - within the limits
of the productivity formula.
THE THEORETICAL CUES
TON arises, however, as to
whether or not this formula
is valid in theory and work
able in practice. On the sur
face, it looks like a fairly
sensible approach to the prob
lem. But many competent
economists and labor relations
experts oppose it on ethical
as well as pragmatic grounds.
The ethical argument
against the productivity for
mula is stated very succinct.

agement relations point out
that "The proposal to keep
the price level stable and to
keep wage increases in line
with changes in output per
man-hour logically implies ac-
ceptance of the proposition
that the wage-earner's present
share of national income is
correct and should not
change. When this implication
is made explicit, we do not
believe it will command the
support of the parties.
Although we have no Spe-
cial reason for feeling that
the wage-earner's share Of in
come is either too high or
too low at this time, we can
not subscribe to the PROPOSE
ton that the present share
will necessarily continue to be
appropriate under unforeseen
future conditions"
The authors are also oppos-
ed to this formula for other
reasons. They think that a
uniform wage policy does
not allow for sufficient diver
sity in the movement of wage
rates. And they argue that

The USTS first sold foreign tourist
agencies and ship and air lines on the idea
oftraveling in the United States. The tourist
agents who steered customers to Cannes
rather than to San Francisco because they
hardly knew where San Francisco was
were reminded that their commissions
would be larger and we're promised happier
customers
When the USTS announced its inten-
tions, the skeptics turned out in force. Why,
they wondered, would an English school
teacher spend her hard-earned salary on
trip to the United States, when she could
cross the English Channel 20 times for the
same price and see much more. In the same
distance it takes to travel from New York
to San Francisco, she could visit Paris,
Madrid, Rome, Vienna, Athens and Istan-
bul, and as many cathedrals and chateaux
in between as she could stand.
The USTS found, however, that 90 to 20
per cent of the people interviewed in poll
in nine countries chose the United States
as the place they would most like to visit if
they had the time and money The USTS de-
cided that what was keeping them home was
the idea that travelling in the United States
is expensive.
With the help of Madison Avenue ad-
vertising agency, the USfS spread the word

that one could tour the United States for
500 week without skimping" In their en-
thusiasm, they neglected to say that the
price did not include the cost of transporta-
ton. They did mention that bus companies
are offering special rate to foreign visitors
of 500 for 80 days Of travel anywhere, that
gasoline is cheap and that visiting the White
House is free.
What followed was an indignant uproar
in the foreign press, which sent correspond
ents to see whether the $98 feat was pos
sible. A correspondent from the London Ex-
press, carrying his own bags and avoiding
taxis. wrote that he ran out of money after

BY Ms9r. Bennett Apologize
Superintendent Of Schools
The teaching machine,
television, movies, slides,
tape recorders and other
modern teaching devices
have captured the hearts
and minds of many educators,
and this hey-day of techno-
logical aids to communica-
ton and learning has invited
schoolmen to reflect upon the
future of the 'slowly" book.
Strangely enough the ma
chimes have taught us that we
have scarcely learned to use
the books that have been with
us in great numbers since the
invention of movable type.
Not one of the mechanical
aids thus far on the market
is without its limitations, the
biggest one being that each
machine contributes to only
one or at most a few types
of learning.
FOR A NEW ma
terial can be effectively intro
duced; information can be re-
layed; facts can be dramatic
ed. But each mechanical aid
boldly speaks to us about the
possibilities for the variety
and depth learning provided
by the indispensable book.
While the word "library"
may become obsolete, there
will always be a need for a
center where mechanical aids
with programmed learning
will be catalogued and
books will be there in abun-
dance.

lance Program will help in

lities for elementary and high
schools in the Diocese. At
present Bishop Ready High
School and st. Mary Magda-
lene School are participating
in the program.
Here is an outline of the
program:
Purpose OF Program:
1. To provide a three-week
period of library practice for
prospective librarians.
2. To cooperate with the
Catholic Library Association
in an effort to provide library
service where there is none.
Procedure:
In 1860, the College of
Saint Mary of the Springs
added a three-credit course
in library practice.
Arrangements have been
made with the Education De-
partment of Saint Mary of the
Springs to have student teach.
ers with library minors spend
part of their practice time
working in a school library,
public and/or private.
Recommendations:
The Library Science Depart
ment of Saint Mary Of the
Springs submits the following
recommendations:
That assistance, either vol
untary or in conjunction with
Library Practice, be offered
only to those schools whose
administrators express a de-
sire for such help.
That a seminar or work
shop be held for volunteer
workers in the parishes con-
cerned only until one or more
members take at least one
basic library course on a col
lege level.
That at least one member
of the teaching staff Of the
school concerned take at least
