Labor Leaders Cheered b Economic Reform and by

By LUDWELL DENNY Times Special Writer .

=r : WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—Encouraged by the President’s

emphasis on economic reform

and by the Supreme Court decision in the Heinz case, labor leaders today pushed campaigns for union contragts in de-

fense industries. American Federation of

though continuing their internal feud, have decided sep- t arately on the same general strategy. This is to co-operate

for speedier production, while insisting on enforcement of labét laws and on union contracts with voluntary peace clauses. : :

LUDLOW'S PLAN

REINTRODUCED

They are saying they agree with |

the President’s recent appeal for “no, strikes .and no lockouts,” but that the only way this can be, : + achieved is through adequate employer - union ments.T h e unions will put responsibility for stoppages on the 2mployer, charging that he has refused a contract of co-op-eration for defense. Any employer who maintains that a verbal agreement is sufficient will be faced with yesterday's Supreme Court decision that refusal to sign a contract, -after agreement on terms, violates the Wagner Labor law.

C. I. O. Sees More Members

C. 1. O. officers, meeting here today and tomorrow, are intensifying their organization drives, particularly in aviation, steel, and Ford plants. Whether they will issue a formal general offer of no strikes in exchange for union contracts— similar to the new A. F. of L. metal trades proposal—has not been decided, but such has been the policy. of several C. I..O. unions in fact. Indeed the most effective argument advanced by C. I. O. unions in ohtaining contracts in the coal, clothing, steel and automotive industries has been the promise of no stoppages. The actual peace machinery in such contracts, however, has varied all the way from loose outside conciliation to rigid inside adjudication under a permanent arbitrator.

Frey Proposal Significant

Yesterday’s = no-strike-no-lockout offer of the 13 A. F. of L. metal trades unions, agreeing to arbitrate all «disputes if employers will do so, is in line generally with Administration policy as represented by Sidney Hillman of the super-de-fense hoard of four, It carries forward the industrial peace approach of the Hillman advisory labor committees. . : Two points of the A. F. of L. proposal are significant. One is that “thoroughgoing co-operation Inust be established between management and labor through direct contact between their chosenerepresentatives”; and. that disputes not settled by

Mr. Denny

"the two parties must go promptly

to the U. S. Conciliation Service and thence, if necessary, to voluntary arbitration. The other point is that the A. F. of L. group will seek single agreements for all participating unions by regions and industries. This is a partial bridging of the old craft versus industrial unionism issue, which first separated the A. F. of L. and C. I. O. :

Fear Counter Moves

Both in the case of A. F. of L. and C. I. O., the drive for union contracts with peace machinery is designed to head off three countermovements which they fear. These are: 1. The no-strike legislation based on compulsory (instead of voluntary) arbitration, as proposed by some Congressmen after the Vultee and other strikes. ? 2. The proposal for an independent Government board providing compulsory mediation and “waiting periods” in other industries, as now in the railway industry under the national mediation board. | Although labor leaders are split en this proposal, many oppose extension to other industries of this railway mediation system because it is compulsory and because’ labor has no control over choice of board cr mediators.

Times Special . WASHINGTON, Jan. |T7.—Rep.
