All states in this district exceeded their allotments, but Florida in particular led them all. Its quota Was $45,000,000 and it sold $97,000,000. The total allotments in the district was $250,000,000, but $460,000,000 was actual- ly sold. Florida’s excess percentage of quota was 216 per cent, the highest in the district, as against Mississippi's 138 per cent, the lowest state in the district. The aboye figures do not include the sjlotment and sales made to; banking insti- tations, for there was over $1,000,000,000 ig bonds sold to banks in the sixth district, in addition to’ the Sates ‘to individtats Una eprporations. po epee eens Key, West’s subscription totaled;.$370,- 000; its allotment was $310,000; the excess ' = $10.88}; a BB al SIO Ey, pet <4, them, WORDS ARE WEEDS OR OAKS | Some words are weak and puny, like | some people; other words are strong and | hit hard, like Jack Dempsey’s left in his | palmy days, “packed with dynamite.” In speech as well as in writing, some pe ple say little in many words; others say | much in a few words. !

THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Should Labor Share in the Management “of Private Industry? As debated by Farin. Spahiie t, for the i Pederation of Labor Iau ayitelei SIk,. 8! IKIN_ OPENS: Denial to ‘orkers of any share in management means absolute control of work, @abpr’s’blind obedience to arbitrary gules, It/ts bad management; it bars growth, improvement. The worker who performs the job. knows more about doing that job better. If the worker has a say about the improve- ment of his job, he has a share in management at the job level. If Amerie: | workers in a department have a say about production flow, labor shares in the management of that depart- ment. In a plant or a whole industry, such labor participation in manage- ment is essential to progress. To help achieve maximum war production, a joint labor-management War Produc- tion Drive was launched.

COWDRICK CHALLENGES: | Labor-management cooperation,’ re- | stricted to the advisory level, gave good results in the Baltimore and | Ohio plan and in employee repre- ; sentation councils. It is functioning usefully in some plants under Nel- | son's war production drive. But if “a | share im the management” means authority to dictate policies or veto the decisions of executives, it would lead to divided responsibility, ineffi- ciency, confusion. Without that kind of management sharing, industry in America has secured better results. | for everybody, including labor, than in any other country. Why trade the system which has made America great, for something untried and’ alien to our traditions? MR. SHISHKIN REPLIES: Even my opponent concedes ‘that: labor should have some share in manage- ment. How large a share? Ask the dress industry where the union devel- oped the program making America | the world’s fashion cen‘er, the print- ing firms which for years have relied on the engineering service of; the; Pressmen's Union; hundreds of saved by the unions financial’ aid lh} the’ depression; thousands''of firms where constructive union manage- ment cooperation has brought: better production, greater efficiency and lower costs, without any jmpairment of management's executive preroga- | tives. Match this experience of Amer- | ican Democracy against ther first rule of Fascist Slavery that workers must have no share in management, Edward S. Cowdric!: Prominent Consuliaat in Industrial Relations MR. COWDRICK OPENS: .Fore merly labor unions. did not, inte: with management of industry.‘ bargained over wages and working | conditions but usually were content to leave the running of the business to those hired for that job. Recent years have seen distinct evidences of a purpose to “muscle in” on the func- tions of management—the Reuther and Murray plans; strikes to enforce changes in operating methods; union demands covering subjects formerly considered under the sole jurisdic- tion of employers; persistent attempts to secure labor representation in pol- icy-making levels of war agencies. Through closed shop contracts and in other ways unions attempt to tal over authority for discipline. A, dif ferent approach to the same end is the attempt of some organizations to unionize foremen. tard war production and replace American methods with a sort of col- lectivism, which could not fail to have disastrous effects during the critical post-war period. Enlightened management always has sought te. utilize the brains of labor. This has, been done successfully through per sonal contacts, suggestion Gat cand and joint committees. But methods have been, and properly should be, advisory. Authority should remain with management. You can’t have two captains on one ship. Aus thority and responsibility should rest in one place. MR. SHISHKIN CHALLENGES: There is no turning back to the golden era of captains of industry, of billionaire magnates like Vanderbilt, Carnegie, and Rockefeller, nor to the more recent dismal years of depres- sion with its mass unemployment+ An important portion of American industry has already accorded labor a share of constructive responsibility through union-management coopera- tion. It is a wise choice. Through partnership labor and management can together make their greatest contribution to the welfare of man- kind. In this war and after, such partnership will enable our system to withstand the threat of fascism and communism upon the Americah way. MR. COWDRICK REPLIES: Just what does Mr. Shishkin propose? His “share of constructive responsibility tion” is not the same as divided authority in management, which he seems to favor. Practically all sue- cessful experiments have been con- fined to the advisory level. Beyond ps point, ‘unions would have au- ‘ity . without responsibility. As “partner,” labor could force a com- pany into bankruptcy through wage demands, then cross the street to another job. Employees make more money yearly than is represented in the physical assets of their corporae tions, and ten times their net profits. If labor saved ten per cent of that income, within five years it could buy majerity control. KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY lieved.
