DESTROVER GUARD FIRES ON VANDALS Disturbed Compass Theory in Wreck of Seven Off West Coast.: A; Calif., Septem- als, the inevitable looters who have appeared on the scene of mearly all disasters in the Dast, have begun their work at Point Honda, where the hulks of seven na- val stroyers are being beaten to pleces by the waves, following the catastrophe of last Saturday night.

But | we do not feel that the check-off is vital enough ever to justify a sus- pension of operation: Recognize Autonomy. “We recognize that the establish- ment of & policy of complete district autonomy in the negotiation of new | agreeiments, as advocated by some operators, would result in great tur- moil and a renewal of the fierce com- petition between districts that must inevitably Jower standards. We sug- gest, however, that many operators in the outlying fields have a real grievance when they say that essen tial elements of their agreements onferences in which they are not presented. We suggest that the two parties should ‘work out a svstem of national nego- tlation with district agreements, which will awvoid andard-cutting wars between districts and secure adequate flexibilfty to meet neces- sary_ district conditions. We recommend a continuing um- in each district as indispensabl or commissioner to function as do O abor comminstoners in the dis- tricts, but on national problems. Urge Better Training. “We recommend more attention to the tralning of superintendents, fore- men and assistant foremen in prob- loms of management, especially In eallng with labor under a unlon agreement. In aceordance with best policy In the coal and In ‘all other industries, we recommend the policy in each company of centralized responsibility for labor relations. “We reeommend much closer con- act and greater educational service | from the district and national officers |of the union to the local officers and men. “We believe that the union will need to depend more on facts and less on force if it is in the future to ad- vance the Interests of its members as successfully as it has in the past. We therefore suggest the importance within the union of contlnuous fadil- ities for research which will collect and interpret facts and aid and en- tho operators are mnot so effectively [a ; C., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1923. lighten union policy. “We belleve that the union is facing chitical transition period.

The challerge confronting it now is whether it_can use great power In a-responsible way to serve soclal ends. “We do not advocate nationaliza- It should create the office of national i tion as a means of meeting the na- tional strike or other parts of the problem of labor relations. “We recommend against compulsory arbitration as & means of preventing a natfonal strike, because we do not belleve in discretion-made law ,in elther the industrial or political fields and because there Is no way to en- force a compulsory award which does not involve enforced operation or en- forced labor. “We recommend speclal compulsory Investigation when the prorpect of fatlure to renew an agreem.nt is Im- minent, so that the public may have a chance to he heard before conflicts arlse. Specifically, we recommend an inquiry under fthe authority of the President of the United States. To this .end, it is suggested that all agreements should contain a clause that will provide for automatic re- newal of all agreements except in re- gard to provisions concerning which either party may have given notice to the other ninety days in advance of the date of termination of the agree- ment. In case of fallure to agree, a report setting forth the factors at is- sue should be made to the f‘r:flden!, by each side, not later than sixty days Defore the. expiration of the agree- ment. } “It {8 recommended that when such a report |s made the Prasident. fmme- dlately fnquire into the factors at issue and secure a report and award thereon made on or before the date of expira- tion of the agreement. * * * It should be the purpese of such a report to focus upon the negotiators the irresistible moral pressure implicit in their joint obligation to furnish the public ‘with coal. ¢ * ¢ Hit Drastic Measures, “The best approach to a remedy fdr the evils of the general strike wili not, | in our judgment, be found In an imme- diate resort to dra&tic prohibitory meas- | ures, Whatever artificial gap may have developed between employer and em- ploye, they must work tpgether or there can be no peace and no real efficiency. 9.* & 1t will be necessary., however, for them to find means of bringing their best statesmanship to the front In con- nection with the general negotiations. They cannot perform this indispensable public duty ‘unless they emancipate themselves from the atmosphere of mill- tancy that too often characterizes their proceedings. “It 18 believed that the combination of continuous investigation and pub- licity with the possible resort to media- tion at the instance of the President of the United States may remove the necessity for more_drastic emergency measures. * * ¢ Until measures for holding both sides to their responsibili- tles have been exhausted, it will be ex- tFemely unwise for the public to embarl on coercive measures of regulation of labor relations. “While it 18 believed that the above | { suggestions will encourage mutual ac- commodation and agreement at the time of the renewal of negotiations and will therefore iessen the chances of natlonal strikes or suspensions, the fundamen- tally constructive opportunity lies in the | bullding up of the day-to-day relations | within the agréement period. Improve- ment in industrial relations during the life of the agreement would very con- siderably lessen the probability of a { nationa) strike.” | | = = | Graduate Eyes Examined McCormick Medical o) Ginsses Fitted .
