* U. §. MEDIATORS

GET CREDIT FOR JOBS OF 180,000

Success of Conciliation in Auto Strike Spurs Talk Of New Power.

By LUDWELL DENNY Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, June 19.—Government conciliators have helped reduce the number out of work because of labor disputes from 200,000 to less than 18,000 in a fortnight. This record is being used] here by advocates of a stronger Federal mediation system for industrial prosperity and peace. If less than 60 Labor Department conciliators without specific authority

can produce such results, a much larger force operating with the prestige and power of law could produce better results, it is argued. The bituminous coal and automobile stoppages, involving almost three-quarters of a million men, are cited as examples. Although both were finally settled by the Concilia-. tion Service, they might have been prevented altogether by an effective mediation system. Leaders in the movement for such a mediation service include Senator Wagner (D. N. Y.), an Administration labor spokesman in Congress, Dr. William M. Leiserson of the National Liabor Relations Board, and Chairman Otto Beyer of the National (Railway) Mediation Board. They point out that the labor board does not and cannot mediate disputes. Its function is limited by; the Wagner Act to law enforcement,

ize for collective bargaining. But the increase of collective bargaining under the Wagner law and Labor Board has increased workers’; demands and consequent disputes. In the absence of an adequate mediation system many of these normal disagreements turn inte costly strikes, and even violence. Most of them could be settled peacefully and without a work stoppage if machinery were provided for the purpose, it is said. | NLRB Claims Credit

For $33,000,000 Saving |

WASHINGTON, June 19 (U. PO! —The National Labor Relations Board said today that a sharp decrease in strikes in 1938 because of recognition of principles of the Wagner Labor Relations Act resulted in a “minimum saving’ to employers and employees of $£33.400.000. | A study prepared by David J. Saposs, chief NLRB economist, said the total number of strikes decreased from 4740 in 1937 to 2772 in 1938, or 42 per cent. Of the 4740

EXTRA WPA CASH S POSSIBLE FOR STREET REPAIRS

New Plan Would Designate State Funds as Sponsors’ Contributions.

A plan under which Indiana cities would receive five or six million dollars additional WPA funds for street improvements was to be ratified this afternoon at a conference between WPA, State Highway Commission and Indiana Municipal League officials. / Under the proposal, worked out in a conference last week, cities would list Highway Commission funds, now spent on state highway routes through cities, as sponsors’ eontributions for all WPA street projects in the cities. Ordinarily, it was said, this expenditure of State funds would have amounted to about $1,500,000 for the year, but with the additional WPA money to be obtained, the amount would be swelled to between six and seven millions. T. A. Dicus, State Highway Commission chairman, said the commission has no objection to the plan providing the commission receives credit from the Federal Government for the money it spends on its routes. Indianapolis would not benefit under the plan because the highway commission does not have jurisdic tion over Indianapolis streets which also are state highway routes. Cities which already have adopted city-wide projects and are likely to be benefitted immediately by the plan are: Valparaiso, Logansport, Goshen, Plymouth, Warsaw, Ft. Wayne, Columbia City, Wabash, Bluffton, Terre Haute, Winchester, Richmond, Kokomo, Portland, Tipton, Columbus, Bloomington, Evansville, Linton, Vincennes, Crown Point, South | Bend, Elkhart, New Carlisle, Angola, Kin Defend Her.
