COUCH | United Press Staff Correspondent. | WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.—Employ- | lors sitting in the national industrial conference today planned to start pressure to put thru their proposed establishment of shop committees. Defeating the proposal of the labor delegates for arbitration by the con- ference of the steel strike is the first step In this plan, Delegate Loree Jindicated when he condemned the | proposal on the conference floor late | yesterday. The shop éommittee plan was placed before the conference last |weok in the set of principles for the | conduct of Industry submitted by the jemployers’ group, Under it each em- ployer would deal with his employes as a unit, without Interference by joutaide labor leaders. Employes in each shop would be organized into a single union, whied, as many employers plan, would have |} no connection with union workers Ip Jother shops. This ia “collective bargaining” as many members of the employers’ up see it. The shop committee plan made big progress in England after the arm. istice, Leaders of organized labor say It is akin to the “one big union” move- ment of radical labor organizers, The radicals can build up one big union by inking up shop unions, in cluding workers in all trades, con- servative labor leaders charge. They contend that in fighting for the shop committee plan, some employes hope to weaken organized labor and make it Ineffective, If these employers succeed, work- ers who find their organization thus made impotent will be easy converts to radicaliam and direct action, ac cording to conservative leaders, Members of the public group to day planned to postpone an immedi. ate vote on the steel strike arbitra. tion proposal until committees have completed consideration of the whole subject of arbitration and are ready to make a coneréte recommendation. ‘Labor delegates planned to fight this mo: «ment. Delegates of the public group ih to delay the vote, fearing that defeat of the steel strike arbitration which many deem certain, will cause the labor delegates to walk out of the conference. The employers’ group has indicated it will vote against arbitration of the steel strike.
