London Whilst the representatives
of the British Trades T'nion Congress
are busy in the 1'nited Stales on the
start-up of the Anglo-American Trade
I'niori Committee, final arrangements
are also being made for the Dominion
Trade I'nion Conference, which is lie
ing called together on the initiative of
the British T.l'.C. General Council.
It is proposed to hold .this Confer
ence In l^tndon, partly with the ob
ject of giving Trade I'nion delegates
from Canada, Australia, New Zealand
and South Africa, the opportunity of
getting an over-all picture of Britain's
war effort.
At the same .time the Conference will
enable exchange of information about
war time ligishitiun and the methods
the the Trade I'nioifs have adopted in
Britain and the Dominions overseas in
grappling with war time difficulties.
The Conference is expected, moreover,
to give attention to problems of post
war reconstruction, and the T.l'.C.
General Council is now engaged upon
the preparation of the Dominion Con
ference agenda.
Reporting to affiliated unions on war
time activities, the T.l'.C. headquar
ters records the fact. that correspon
dence with leaders of the Trade I'nion
Movements in the British Common
wealth has shown that the activities
and the achievements of the British
Unions have been of grejit value to
Trade I'nion representatives in tin
oversea Dominians in developing a
closer relation with their own Govern
ments. "More and more delegates of
the organized workers in the Domin
ions," says the T.l'.C. report, "an
being included in public agencies con
cerned with the war effort and with
the application of public policy affect
ing the interests of .the workers."
Organizing International Industries
The T. l\ C. report to its affiliated
Unions records also that a good deal
of work has been done towards tin
setting up of the World Textile Office,
in accordance with recommendations
made by the New York Conference of
the International Labor Ollice, in tin
winter of 1941. The establishment of
the World Textile Ollice is designed to
protect the economic and social inter
ests of the workers in that, industry.
A parallel organization for tlie coal
industry is now being urged by tin1
International Miners' Federation. Tht
T.l'.C. has raised this question with
the International Labor Ollice which
is now giving consideration to the pro
posal.
Agriculture is another key industry
that requires international organiza
tion. The T.l'.C. has asked unions con
cerned to advise it on the general
nature of the problems to be solved
and the kind of solutions they feel
ought to be applied. Appart from the
comparatively simple domestic ques
tions affecting the agricultural work
ers, such as the provision of adequate

THE POTTERS HERAT,D
Labor News From Britain
housing, health nd mcdjr-al services,
sick pay, old age iiensions, there are
vast problems of international organ
ization, such as lhe provision of agri
cultural credit, land tenure, hind settle
ment, price policy, disposal of agri
cultural surpluses, coordination of
production and marketing all of
which the T.l'.C. is now leginning to
examine. It is also making a study of
the decisions on the conference on
agriculture held in Mexico City last
year in which the United States and
21 South American States t»ok pari,
workers' representatives being includ
ed in their delegations.
Moreover, the T.l'.C. tins under con
sideration a plan submitted by repre
sentative of Central and South-Cistern
Euro|)ean .trade unionists now in Bri
tain, for the rehabilitation of agricul
ture in their respective countries. The
financial and economic organization of
the League of Nations has been asked
to assemble material on these proh
lenis and the whole matter will
come
up before the next iweting of tin
I.L.O. Permanent Agricultural Com
mittee ou which the T.l'.C. is repre
sented.
Determining Position Of Foremen
An interesting discussion litis been
opened about the place that foremen
should hold In the industrial hierarchy
Should foremen be represented on
works' committees? In some plants
they vote as ordinary employees in tin
election of works' representatives on
these committees. In other plants fore
men are often nominated as representa
tives of the management. The constitu
tion of some works' committees, how
ever, provide for elected representa
tives of the foremen, or for foremen to
be co-opted on the Committee to dis
cuss matters which concern their
workshop functions. On .the other hand
it is sometimes argued that discussion
will be freer at works' commiftet
meetings if foremen are not present.
A considered view of the question
lias been put forward by the General
Secretary of the Association of Super
visory Staffs and Engineering Tech
nicians. This Union, formerly known
as the National Foremen's Union is
affiliated to the Track's Union Con
gress.
Its general secretary, Tom Agar, is
of the opinion that there Is a defect
iu tlie constitution of the works' com
mittee. On the management side, he
points out the higher executives are
invaViably represented, but on the
workers' side it is often only the oper
atives, and the treat middle strata—
that is the workshop superintendents
foremen, and other supervisory officer
and technicians as a whole—remain
unrepresented.
Works Committee Team Spirit
Tom Agar declares his belief that a
Works Committee should not consist
of sides but should be a team, and in
a serious effort to develop the team
spirit in the workshops his Union ha
made a practical proposal. In a few
plants, he says, the I'nion has been
able to persuade the management
allow the foremen and technicians t»
set up their own production council, to
maintain liaison witli the ordinary pro
duction council. Tims the key men in
the shop are able to attend meetings
of the Works committee in a consulta
tive and advisory capacity. This ha
worked wonders, Tom Agar says, for
everybody was satisfied. $
The official policy of our Association
lie says is that employers seeking to
maximize war production and to pre
vent labor wastage, will encourage the
setting up of a foremen's and tech
nicians Production Council as distinct
from the ordinary Production Council
but having a close liaison with it.
Some experts in industrial manage
ment regard this suggestion of a sepa
rate Foremen's Council as a satisfac
tory solution of .the problem of asso
ciating forenienship, which is definiti
ly a function of management with the
machinery of workers' representation
in the factory.
Laundry Workers Win
5-Year Union Battle
Spokane, Wash. (ILNSl. One of
the longest strikes in the history of
Spokane—a 5-year struggle to organ
ize the city's laundry workers has
ended in favor of the AFL Laundry
Workers Union. The laundry operators'
association has signed an agreement
with the union calling for a wage in
crease of from 5 to 7V2 cents an hour
with one week's paid vacation yearly
A union shop also is provided.
Money-making may not he the true
end of life, bill it's often the real be
ginning of living.

Italian- American
Labor Group Warns
Against Darlanism
U. S. Goal Held Destruction
Of Totalitarianism's
Power
New York City (ILNfi). Any
American "deals" with disafTerted Ital
ian Fascists were condemned by the
Italian-American Labor Council, at its
first annual meeting here.
The council warned against applica
tion of any kind of "Darlanisrn" as it
might relate to Italy and declared
there can be no conqu-omise with
Premier Mussolini or his 9 defeated
generals now rejiorted held in this
country as prisoners of war.
"Little Steel" Formula Opposed
Delegates to the council, said to
represent 3k»,(Kki Italian Am-riean
workers In the New York area, both
AFL and CIO, adopted unanimously a
resolution asserting that these Italian
generals represent the "worst features
of Fascism" and were prominently
associated with all recent Fascist war
adventures in Ethiopia, Spain and
Libya.
"Our goal Is the triumph of democ
racy. which cannot lie achieved with
out the complete destruction of the
military and political jmwer of totali
tarianism," the resolution declared.
Resolutions also were adopted urg
ing abandonment of the National War
Labor Board's "Little
The defendents contended that "con
fessions" by of the men were made
"involuntarily" and should not have
been admitted as evidence. They also
charged illegal arrest and detention
without arraignment long and per
sistent questioning failure to see law
yers, intimidating surroundings aud
physical mistreatment.
Justice Frankfurter delivered the
opinion, holding that "it was error to
admit these confessions." Justice Reed
dissented.

MORSE RIDDLES LABOR DRAFT ARGUMENT
Chicago (HAS).—One
of
the
wild that we cannot win that fight
unless we maintain a sound domestic
war economy."
Those who argue for a "universal
draft of laltor. based on the fallacious
premise that lal»or, t»»o, ought to work
for $.V a month, are th.- real radicals
of the country," the WLK members
declared. They are the ones, he said,
"who really seek to tear down the
sound economic jioliey of this govern
ment." He added
"When I hear that argument from
well-intentioned jieople, but j»eople who
do not know very much aliout eco
nomics, I ask them Who is going to
pay .the taxes? Who is going to feed
arid clothe the dejtenderits of men in
the armed forces? And I also |»oint
out to them that, after all, the major
ity of the members of the armed forces
come from lal»or and agriculture, and
they have a right to return to an econ
omy that has protected the interests of
labor and agriculture."
That point of view. Morse said,
•'needs to be impressed upon Wash
ington more than it has been." Labor,
he concluded, must make "clear i.ts
point of view in the economic field."

TRAINED MEN
with WIDE VISION
Tall-important
O the men who drive tanks—to airplane pilots—the
sense is sight. They must undergo long
periods of training before they fight so that they may
leact instantly, but above all they must have wide vision.
The illustration shows a tank driver undergoing a "field
of vision" test. Ordinary eyes may see objects on both
sides through a fairly wide angle. A tank driver must
have wider vision—must almost have "eyes in the back
of his head."
Training and vision are essential in industry as welL
particularly under the pressure of wartime needs. The
field of vision around a fixed point for anyone's eyes is
subject to definite limitations, but the business man's
"vision" in the development of his art soars with his
imagination and is limited only by good judgment
In the electrical industry it has always been necessary
io look far ahead so as to anticipate customer demands,
for it takes many months to build electric plants and they
must be ready when the call for service comes. With th®
first declaration of war in Europe, trained men with wide
vision foresaw the need to give this country the best elec
trical service in the world.
This vision found us ready for any emergency, even
that suddenly thrust upon our powers of production by
War cruel and barbarously treacherous as a knife in
the back, yet we had reserves to call upon and a total
electric power production far beyond all of the Axis
countries put together—five times as much as we had
in the last war!
American business management was ready for the
big task imposed by the Axis The free people of
America, men and women, demonstrated for all time that
the American way is the way to Victory.
