Stopping Strikes By Legislation
Last year there were more than 5,000 strikes in America. Today many congressmen seem to think they can legislate away future strikes.
Labor legislation now being debated in congress is largely negative and lacking in positive elements that go to the roots of our labor-management troubles.
Here are some of the most important parts of the house of representatives' Labor-Management Bill of 1947:
The closed shop is outlawed.
The President is given the power to issue injunctions to prevent or halt strikes involving the public health and safety.
Industry-wide bargaining is outlawed.
Jurisdictional strikes are outlawed.
Sympathy strikes are outlawed.
Mass picketing is outlawed.
Contributions of employers to union health and welfare funds are outlawed.
Foremen are barred from unionizing.
Representative Hartley (R-N. J.), chairman of the house labor committee, has described the bill as "Labor's bill of rights." The A. F. of L. has replied that it is "the first step toward fascism." The C. I. O. has said that the bill, if passed in its present form, will "set the cause of labor back 50 years."
Even by considering personal prejudices, there is something wrong with a bill that calls forth such widely divergent opinions.
A member of the house labor committee has been quoted as saying the bill was purposely made overrestrictive to provide bargaining points for compromising with the senate. The senate bill, though restrictive, seems less so. This implies a lack of endeavor to write a really sound bill but instead an effort to throw in every possible restriction solely for bargaining purposes.
It is apparent to everyone that some new labor-management legislation is needed. But the trend now seems to be from one extreme to the other—from a lack of proper legislation to legislation that is excessively restrictive. Such laws would accomplish little and only provide a breeding ground for further labor strife.
One reason for our recurring waves of strikes is that labor and economic policies have too often been considered separately. The two are unalterably bound together. They must be so considered or we will never find a working solution to the dilemma of labor-management relations that has faced the country for so long.
Our major domestic problem today is to arrive at industrial peace and develop a sound economy that will benefit our entire society. Ill-considered labor legislation may well cause the opposite result.
Buehler Tells How To Stop Stage Fright
A recent news item states that military officials learned through a survey that there are too many sergeants in the U.S. army. Any buck private could have told them that.

Guest speakers of the evening were Mrs. Claes G. M. Rende of Sweden, and Aldo Aliotti of Italy.
Admires American Confidence
Mrs. Rende, who has been in the United States only a few months, told the league that speech training is not a part of Swedish education, and that she admired the self-confidence of American speakers.
Mr. Aliotti, a former Italian soldier who was captured by the German army, said that the pictures he had seen of the Texas City disaster reminded him of bombing raids he had experienced.
Other speakers were William Tincher, Engel Ninger, Ernest Friesen and Hal Friesen.
Blames Power Politics
Tincher told the group that the United Nations was a weak and inefficient organization because of the power politics practiced by the United States, Russia, and Great Britain.
Friessen discussed the nationalization of industry in Great Britain and said that political competition had replaced individual competition. He blamed Britain's present chaotic condition on the lack of employer-employee relations
Nininger reviewed the life and idealisms of the late Thomas Wolfe, American author.
