WHAT LABOR BOARD DID AND DID NOT DO AT BETHLEHEM . . : A Clarifying Statement as to Its Decisiohs as to Hours, Pay and Collective Bargaining BY WILLIAM HOWARD TAP T IN THE PUBLIC LEDGER The usefulness of the national war labor board is injured by inaccurate reports of Its decisions. Anxiety on the part of sympathizers with one side or the other to enlarge the scope of the awards and to give them a more sweeping effect prompts such reports. One interested in a war board award should be careful to find out what the case before the board was and exactly what was de cided. In some dispatches it was an nounced that the board, in the Beth lehem case, had fixed an eight-hour basic day for all the work done in that extensive plant. This was an error. It is shown to be so by the full text of the Bethlehem award, which was published in the Public Ledger of August 5. The statement of principles under which the board is acting contains the following: "The basic eight-hour day is rec ognized as applying in all cases in which existing law requires it. In all other cases the question of hours of labor shall be settled with due re gard to governmental necessities and the welfare, health and proper com fort of the workers." In the Bethlehem plant there is much work done by that company as an agent of the general government, in which the statute of the United States limiting government work to eight hours a day applies. There is also much other work In which it has been held by the law officers of the government that the statute does not apply and in which the eight-hour basic day does not prevail. The Pres ident under a power given him by law, suspended the restriction of the eight-hour statute so that the men working for the government may be worked ten hours; but the work done in such cases is required to be on the basis of an eight-hour day, with time and a half for overtime and double time for Sundays and holi days. The award of the board has merely enforced this rule as to gov ernmental work in Bethlehem. There was a request by the men that all the work in that plant, whether gov ernmental or otherwise, should be put on the basis of an eight-hour day; but that issue was not decided I in the present award of the board. One would infer from the dis patches, too, that the decision of the board was generally against bonuses for piecework, granted to stimulate production. This is not true. The bonus system involved in the Beth lehem case was a complicated one. To a number of members of the board it seemed that the bonuses al lowed for the first eight hours were merged in the additional compensa tion allowed for overtime, so that if jnen worked ten hours and got over time pay they lost the benefit of the bonus they had earned in the first eight hours. The whole board, in view of its lack of simplicity and possible injustice, deemed it wise to have this bonus system revised so that its effect could be made just and at the same time clear to the workers. An examiner was directed to make further report to the board for this purpose. Again, the decision of the board that the workers in Bethlehem have a right to organize and be represent ed by committees in dealing with the company is heralded as- a new and radical announcement effecting a change in many important indus tries. It is unwarranted to give such color to the decision. The Bethlehem Company professes to run an open shop; that is, a shop from which union men are not excluded and in which union and nonunion men work together. The board's "consti tution," so to speak, provides the following: "The right of workers to organize in trades union and to bargain col lectively through chosen representa tives is recognized and permitted. This right shall not be denied, abridged or interfered with by the employers in any manner whatso ever. "In establishments where union and nonunion men and women now work together, and the employer meets only with employes or repre sentatives engaged in the said es tablishments, the continuance of such conditions shall not be deemed a grievance. This declaration, how ever, is not intended in any manner to deny the right or discourage the practice of the formation of labor unions or the joining of the same by the workers in said establish ments, as guaranteed in the language above quoted." The manager at Bethlehem receiv ed any individual who complained about his own case, but did not re ceive joint complaints by commit tees representing a group of work ingmen. Tn this he departed from the "constitution" of the board. The board directs its examiner to hold the election of committees, with a provision for minority representa tion, at a schoolhouse or some pub lic building in the neighborhood. These rulings do not, as has been reported, unionize Bethlehem. It does not change Bethlehem to a closed union shop. Were there any attempt made by the union men in either shop to exclude from employ ment nonunion men, the board would promptly decide against such action. Of course, if an employer professes to have an open shop and to make no distinction between "union and non union men, and yet in practice ex cludes union men or nonunion men, or if he professes to receive commit tees from their men and does not see them in fact, this decision of the board condemns such practices, as it 1 ought to. There were other matters decided in the Bethlehem case as to piece rates and a minimum hourly wage for each class of service upon which to calculate overtime; but, like the bonus, they grew out of a complicat ed condition at Bethlehem and do not have general application. The general principles decided have been given above. The plan of detailing an examiner of the board to help the solution of difficulties arising with ultimate appeal to the board it is thought will be useful. The Bethlehem plant is one whose maximum production is of the ut most importance to the government in this war. The government intends to have the capacity of the plant and the number of men employed largely increased. The attention of the board was urgently called to the threatening unrest among the work ers there. Indeed, there had at one time bejel a strike of some 5,000 men, which was ended on the faith of a fair settlement by the war la bor board. The "turnover," i. e., the change in personnel of the workers each month, had reached a disturb ing percentage, indicating dissatis faction. Some remedy was certainly needed. British Aviation Captain Killed in Plane Plunge By Associated Press Cincinnati, 0., Aug. 15.—What promised to be a gala day for a number of American aviators from the aviation field at Dayton, headed by Major Claud K.
