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.
