LABOR IS NOT ENTHUSIASTIC ON‘CZAR’IDEA Delegates Have Accepted Collective Bargaining Principle BIG ACHIEVEMENT WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. —(/P)—The quest for a meth od of ending labor’s jurisdic tional strife continued today while most delegates to Presi dent Truman’s labor-man agement conference began an armistice-day holiday week end. The committee assigned to juris dictional problems so far has offer ed no report, but it had before it Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach’s proposal last Monday that organiz er*. labor designate a “Czar” to iron out inter-union, disputes. Labor delegates sounded out in formally so far have showed no great enthusiasm for the techni que which Schwellenbach suggest ed had met the problem in base ball and the moving picture in dustry. Nevertheless the “committee on representation and jurisdictional questions” was reported to be seek ing improved machinery by which unions could settle the troublesome disputes themselves. This group arrange meetings on Sunday and Monday, but a major ity of the industry and labor dele gates gathered here to promote la bor peace already were leaving Washington for the week-end. COLLECTIVE BARGAINING They already had one solid ac complishment, reported conference secretary George W. Taylor. Busi ness and labor delegates alike have fully accepted the principle of col lective bargaining, he said. Taylor said this was no meager achievement, even though now written into the Wagner Labor Re lations Act, because the postwar labor parley of 1919 cracked up ov er an inability to agree on a reso lution stating that workers are en titled to be represented by unions or spokesmen of their own choos ing. HIGHER CEILINGS These other developments in wage and labor issues engaged govern ment officials: 1. Price Administrator Chester Bowles promised Benjamin F. Fair less, president of United States Steel Corporation, to rule as. soon as possible on the corporation’s re quest for higher steel price ceil ings. This action, reported by an OPA official last night, arounsed hope that negotiations may be resumed soon between U. S. Steel and the CIO United Steelworkers union or the union’s demand for $2 a day more pay. Fairless has refused tc continue the talks, saying they would be "futile” until he had OPA’s answer on price increases. 2. Ford Motor Company mem bers of the CIO United Auto Work ers voted 42,235 to 3,951 to author ize a tsrike in support of theii demand for a 30 per cent wage in crease. 3. Secretary Schwellenbach stu died a request of the CIO -textile workers union that he protect workers at three Texas cotton mills where the union said violence greet ed returning strikers. LAW ENFORCEMENT The union last night askec Schwellenbach for ‘extraordinary and immediate action” to enlist the aid of federal law enforcement agencies to halt "organized thug gery* now rampant” at the Hills boro cotton mills, Itasca cottor mills and Mexia cotton mills.

Forrester! told Secretary Patterson in a. letter “if we al low an honest difference over prin ciple to degenerate into an ex change of personalities, we shall do irreparable harm to the end which we all seek in the name of national security: the comrade ship of all branches of the armed services.” While Doolittle was before the senate military committee yester day Senator Hill (D-Ala) ermarked that Admiral Chester W. Nimitz had said sea power brought sur render of the Japanese, and Ad miral Marc Mitscher had credited navy carrier-based airplanes with winning the Pacific air war. Said the former Eighth Air Force commander: “Admiral Nimitz and Admiral Mitscher are great commanders, but this war was won by teamwork. “Each of the three agencies did its best, x x x “I do feel very strong it was not seapower that compelled Japan to sue for peace. And that it was not carrier strength that won the air war. “Our B-29 boys are resting uneasily in their graves as a a result of those two com ments.” Forrestal said In his letter to Patterson: “Gen. Doolittle also -referred to arguments advanced by witnesses before the committee as ‘hypo crisy.’ As civilian head of the naval service I should not let charges against high ranking naval officers of hypocrisy or partisan ship to the point of callousness go unnoticed.
