Meets second Friday at Phoenix Grore,
London. Over I wo thousand forma I
y constituted Joint Production Com
mittees are now in operation in the
nglncerlrig and allied trades in Bri
lIn. By their existence two million
workers in these trades have been
brought Into effective contact with
management. The Committ«H's are
meeting regularly, and are dealing
with a great variety of questions af
ecting workshop morale and technical
idicultles Impeding maximum prodnc
ion. Other Joint Production Conniiit
ees have Imm-ii established in shi|i
anls, mines and Royal Ordnance Fac
ories.
The importance of .Tolnf Production
'ommittees has been emphasized not
only by Britain's Ministers chiefly con
erned with the direction of the war
trades, but by such bodies as the
Select Committee on National Expendi
ture, which rejMirts at intervals to tlx
louse of Commons on varied aspects
the industrial set-up in Britain. Re
ently this Committee stated its view
hat such Joint bodies perform "a
aluahle function in industrial rela
ions."
The mere establishment of such a
oniniittee, the report said, "formally
trorlaims the willingness of manage
ment and workpeople to cooperate, and
when se.t up it provides a permanent
hanncl of communication. Changes
and proposed changes which might
otherwise give rise to friction can bf
xplained to the management, and
»n the other hand, general suggestions
ibout matters affecting production
which could not be suitably put
hrough the foreinent, can be brought
lireet to the highest grade of man
igenient."
The significance of iliis development
in industrial relations derives largely
from the fact that these Joint Produc
tion Committees are voluntary Ln char
icter. In the engineering and allied
trades, for instance, they rest upon an
igreement between the Federated Em
ployers and the Trade I'nions. Vndei
this agreement only those plants em
ploying more than 150 workpeople
were called upon to set up Joint Pro
duction Committee. But the force of
this movement in industry is shown by
the fact that several hundred of the
smaller firms, in addition to the 2,000
big ones, have spontaneously establ
I ished committees, on the model pre
scribed by the agreement between the
Engineering and Allied Employer
Association and the group of Unions in
the engineering trades.

THR POTTERS HERALD
Labor News From Britain
he encouragement JJ iI -uppori always
iven by the Government towards
loser industrial rela lions. Very wisely
the Ministries concerned have not im
losed Joint Production Committees
ii|Min Industry by decree, hut they did
set. an example.
For instance, the Ministry of Supply
entered into a written agreement with
the Trade Unions in the engineering
trad«*s to establish committees in Royal
(rdna.nce Factories.
The Minister of Fuel and Power
fostered .the development of Pit Pro
duction Committees and assigned to
them considerable res[Hnsibilities in
the carrying out of the Government's
oal production program.
The Ministry of Labor and National
Service strengthened the jwsition of
the Joint Workers Commltttes by as
signing specific functions to them un
der the Essential Work Orders, which
now cover u very large range of indus
try.
And the Minister of Production has
arranged that problems which cannot
be settled inside the phuit may Ke
referred upon agreement by both
parties to the district and regional
production machinery under its con
trol—and tills machinery is also organ
ized on the basis of direct representa
tion of employers and workers.
The National Trade I'nions as well
is the national employers' associations
are actively associated with this move
ment. The Unions have extended their
own District Committee machinery to
link up both these workshop commit
tees. The Trades Union Congress at
taches so much importance to the Joint
Production Committees that it is now
asking that Essential Work Orders
shall include a provision making tlie
establishment of such committee' oblig
atory in scheduled undertakings but
the element of compulsion is not felt to
be an indispensable factor, and the
hope that .this new system of worker
management cooperation, and union
employer relations, will be a p«#ma
nent feature of British industry after
tlie war depends upon the spirit of
voluntary association which has ruled
it hitherto.
Tapping Brains
Not unconnected with the work of
Joint Production Committees is tlnj
proposal made recently by the Minister
ef Production for the setting up of
Suggestion Boxes in the workshops.
Quite a number of factories have
adopted this'idea, to provide means by
which .the workpeople can offer sug
gestions for the improvement of pro
duction methods which may not be oh
vious even to foremen, and which will
be assured of careTVil consideration by
the management.
The scheme of the Suggestion Box
has be»en long enough in operation
justify its extension, on the basis of
its proven value. Some firms have had
Suggestion Boxes for many years. One
firm's Suggestion Box lias existed for
fourteen years, and at least thirty
cent of tlie suggestions put into the box
have been accepted by the manage
ment. A Midlands firm's Suggestion
Box last summer yielded a flood of
suggestions of which over fifty per cent
were successfully applied.
Prizes For Brainwaves
Some of the suggestions are extreme
ly simple, not to say, obvious. For in
stance, boxes containing rounds
cordite, sent from a cordite factory to
a filling factory had their lids fastened
down by six or eight screws and the
empty boxes sent back to the cordite
factory had all these screws screw*
back into their place lief ore dispatch
The brainwave of one worker was that
only two screws should be driven
home, at diagonally opjKisite corners
to hold the lid. and the rest of the
screws put into ,t lie empty box. This
simple suggestion saved the labor of
1V2 men at the filling factory, and
probably a similar saving at the
cordite factory.
Most of the firms which have adopt
ed this suggestion keep their Sugges
tion Boxes open all the year round,
But some firms stage special cam
paigns for the best ideas on some given
subject, such as salvage of fuel econ
omy. Prize's are announced for the
best'ideas in such campaigns. One firm
has a scheme by which a prize of
is given for the best idea submitted
during a quarterly period, and prize
of £29 awarded for the be\st sugges
tion made in the year. Other firms try
to adjust .the cash award to the actual
amount the firm saves by adopting
bright idea. The arrangements have
actually been made to make awards or
cash prize's immune from income tax
011 the part of the recipient, and also
admissible as a deduction when the
employer's profits are compute for
1 a xa ion purposes.
Pop says a joint bank account is one
where lie does the depositing and Ma
eloes the withdrawing.

Urge Government To Start
Investigation To Determine
Cause Of Lay-Offs
Ottawa, ('an. That thousands of
workers are leing laid off in local war
plants was a sensational charge made
this wee'le by .the Montreal Trades ami
Labor Council. It lias called OIJ th«
Dominion government to launch an
immediate investigation to determine
just what is back of this development
Support was given the'claim of lalmi
by a government rejiort showing that
011 February 1, 24,ri2 fewer workers
were 011 the payrolls of Canadian in
dustrie* than on January 1.
Labor throughout the Dominiein has
also taken up arms against the official
cost-of-living index, which is declared
to l»e so far out of line with actual
conditions that it works an injustice1
e»n millions of Canadians.
Demands "Fair Shake"
In an open letter to Prime Minister
Mackenzie King. J. \V. Huckley, secre
tary of_ the Toronto District La bo
Council, demanded a "fair shake" for
workers.
The Vancouver, New Westminster,
and other district trades and labor
councils have voiced demands for pub
lie meetings shortly to protest against
the methods used by the governmen
in arriving at the index. This decision
was reacheel after members declared
a true picture of price increases is not
being given.
In his letter to the Prime Minister
Ituekley said: "We cannot agree then
has been a drop in the index for th«
wage earner," and added:
Using wrong Approach
"We appreciate the necessity of re
sisting inflation, hut we take issue with
the government's approach to the
question.
"Commodity prices were allowed to
rise and then wages were pegged at
the depression level. Prices had
year's advantage over any wage in
creases.
"We take issue with statements that
the cost-of-living index lias dropjied
because there has been a decline in
the food group, principally in the cost
of tea, eofl'ee and oranges. This droj
in prices was due to the direct subsidy
paid by the Dominion government
The subsidy was paid by the taxpayer
and these taxes are certainly a part of
our cost of living."

Montgomery Ward & Co., Sues
Unions, Asking Damages For
Delay In Printing Catalogue
CUSTOMERS AID DONNELLEY
Chicago (ILXS). Launching a new attack on organized
labor, Montgomery Ward & Co., anti-union mail order firm, filed
suit here against four international printing trades unions and
.their Chicago locals.
The company is asking $105,200 as damages for the delay
in the production and delivery of its winter catalogue, which R. R.
Donnelley & ftons Co. produces with the help of union printing
plants. Union enforcement of a "struck work" clause in their wage
agreements, under which members of the union refused to handle
any work received from, or destined for, the Donnelley plant,
used the delay. The unions lifted*
heir "struck work" ban when the War
Latior Hoard agreel io take jurisdic
tion of the case.
Donnelley Union Drive Pressed
Ward's is suing the International
Tyitographical Union, International
Printing Pressmen's & Assistants'
Union, International P.rotherhood of
Bookbinders, and International Photo?
Kngravers' Union. These* organizations
are cooperating in the nationwide drive
to organize I tonne!
ley 's, which locked
out the various crhfts, one by one,
l»etween 1JK(3 and 1107. and since has
maintained a Iniycott of union lalior.
Commenting on Ward's ae*tion, the
Organization Ceunmittee of Chicago
Printing Trades Unions said that the
big mail order firm, "whose warfare
on the AFL ind CIO lias made it ne
torious from coast to coast, is only
one of the multi-million-dollar cor
jorations allied with ihe nen-union
Donnelley company. Others are Time,
Inc. (which also
publishes
Life),
Header's Digest, and the i HI Tele
plume Ce."
Customers Aid Donnelley
The unions j»ointed out that "Don
nelley's resistance to the organization
efforts of Chicago printing .trades
unions has Ix'en made jxissible by th
powerful supiort of it labor-hating
customers," but addeel:
"At last, however, the unions have
broken through the outer defenses of
the anti-union concern, and there is
now e»perating. in the oj»en. a Council
of Union Donnelley Employees, com
prising hundreds of union adherents
in all departments of the Donnelley
factory, from cellar to roof."
Union Pioneers Lauded
"Itefore and after working hours,
and during lunch periexls, the?se pio
neers of unionism work fearlessly,
tirelessly and resourcefully to com
plete the organization of their plant,'
the organization committee said.
