LABOUR IN AMERICA
PRESIDENT’S PROPOSALS SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES AFTER*WAR PROBLEMS (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyrig-Ot) March 13 Mr Roosevelt conferred to-day with Ministers on defence and labour problems. Out of 45,000,000 workers about 16,000 are on strike. For several weeks Mr Roosevelt has been studying proposals for a Labour Defence Board to settle industrial disputes and eliminate friction from the defence programme. The President intimated that "he envisages a board which, besides mediation activities, would survey production and labour problems from a long-range vantage point. Moreover, the Labour Mediation Board would seek to integrate the swelling defence production into a useful economic pattern, developing after the national emergency passes, enabling the transfer of employment into a planned national economy, thus avoiding the chaos otherwise resulting from the abrupt cessation of a huge defence programme.
