HOUSE COMMITTEE ATTEMPTS TO DENY LABOR FAIR HEARING Not satisfied with what dras perpetrated in Washington at the expense of the labor movement, congressional com mittees are out beating the bushes in an attempt to un cover additional ammunition to be fired at labor unions when Congress convenes. Maybe the lure of the Golden West induced the excur sion of a second House subcommittee to California, where it bids fair to rival the scapdulous conduct of the sub committee investigating labor disputes* in the movie in dustry. This committee is led by Representative Wint Smith, a Republican from Kansas. Like the Kearns com mittee in Hollywood, it set out to get something on labor. To accomplish this purpose, Representative Smith de cided to ignore labor entirely, presumably because testi money by labor representatives might not fit in with the kind of evidence he wanted to obtain. Resorting to "star chamber” procedure he refused to invite a single labor rep reesentative to appear before the committ^’s scheduled hearings. At the same time, he courted employer and farmer groups urging them to testify and to bring their friends to testify in one grand inquisition. To cap this audacious behavior, Mr. Smith had has committee set up their headquarters in the California State Chamber of Com merce building, thus holding court in the very temple of an antilabor faction. After two days of hearings run in this fashion, state and local labor officials lodged a strong protest against the man ner in which the hearings were being conducted And com plained that they had received no invitations to testify. As a result of this action the committee finally condescended to the scheduling of another hearing. That its action was taken grudgingly may be deduced from the comment of W. Manley Shepperd, committee clerk, who said: "We were heckled into editing another jpssion. Our group was set up to investigate labor. After all, labor isn’t going to file complaints against labor.” Protest registered by the California labor officials should serve notice upon any future Mr. Sheppards that frde trade unionists are not going to submit to the one-sided probes by any congressional subcommittee. LESS FORCE, MORE SKILL IN BARGAINING PROCESS URGED Collective bargaining is the best formula America has developed for working together in a modern industrial society. This view was expressed by Dr. Edwin G* Nourse, chair man of President Truman’s Council of Economic Advisors, in an address before a labor-management conference spon sored by the New York state school of industrial and labor relations at Cornell University. Dr. Nourse criticized the “strongarm stuff” used by some in the collective bargaining process and called for more technical guidance leading to the “skillful adjustment of the related parts of a complex business machine.” He compared the objectives of the Full Employment Act of 1946, the statutory basis for the advisory council, with the theme of the conference, which is “Working Together in a Democratic Society.” Cooperation was the keynote of each, he said, adding that “the grand objective of this flexible and voluntary work ing together is to keep opportunities for wage work or self employment at the maximum or, stated differently, to use our country’s resources, human and material, steadily and not by fits and starts.” Dr. Nourse stressed that maximum employment and max imum buying power, which are two important objectives of the employment act and of labor and management as well, could never be attained without maximum production, then added: “If this it attained over the years the others will have to accompany or follow. The greatest threat to the attain ment of this goal lies in the willingness and ability of both employers and employes to practice restrictionism over wide areas. This means the strike as an implement of union policy on the one side or the lockout or production cut-back as the implement of managerial policy on the other. “We cannt say that we have learned to work together in a democratic industrial society until we have learned to make bilateral economic adjustments instead of resorting to the unilateral use of restrictive—that is, destructive— devices whenever we cannot agree.” !
