start off in a conciliatory mood.
But the country'! interest dic
tates that they nevertheless come
to grips quickly on terms of a new
steel contract. For strike which
would last as long or longer than
the eight-week 1952 stoppage could
deal a damaging blow to Amer
ica s prosperity.
Even a two-week break in pro
duction would be felt in the oil
and gas, railroad equipment and
construction industries. A four
week interruption would put a
crimp in most other major steel
users. Unemployment would fan
out to industries which supply
steel users witn other materials.
In their hearts, both sides in
these negotiations know they will
have to come to hard, compromis
ing bargaining sooner or later. For
the good of themselves and the
whole nation, it had better be soon-

that collective bargaining between
management and labor is ineffec
tive. In this case, contract talks be
gan May 28. More than a month
of discussions produced no real
moves toward a solution of differ
ences. Neither side got down to
brass tacks. It was as if each
were wailing until a strike was un

sure would force the other's hand.

Rnsolinro- has had a verv hieh rate of turnover. One
reason for that situation is the fact that Rosebunr has had
an excellent training school. Thirinjr the past few years,
under the leadership of Stan Olson, who recently resigned
as chief, Roseburjr's police officers have been required to
undergo much schooling. It anpears that the same type of
training program is to be carried on by Chief Carl Rnmpf,
who has an excellent reputation for training ability
Positions Improved
Almost without exception, the men who have left the
Roseburg department for other jobs have stepped into im
proved positions. Because they have been well schooled,
they are able to advance both in grade and salary hy
chancing locations.

nave personnel turnovers similar to tne condition in ntiw
burg. Roscburg's situation, however, is aggravated, as has
been stated, by recognition of the good training provided,
thus-making an applicant from Roseburg welcome else
where. While we can lake pride in the fact that Roseburg's rep
utation for building efficient police officers is widely recog
nized, the situation is one that is costing the city a good
deal of money.
It is a rather expensive process to take a rookie po
liceman through a training school. Then, if he is lost by
being offered a better job elsewhere, the cost of his school
ing becomes a total loss to Roseburg. At the same time,
the officer is not to be blamed fpr .taking a better job at
higher pay.
Compensation Inadequate
The pay scale for police officers traditionally has been
low. There has seldom been a shortage of applicants for
police work. Rate of pay usually is governed by the avail
ability of personnel. So, because applicants were easy to
obtain, compensation for policemen has never been com
mensurate with the work required.
In the last few years, however, there has been a de
cided change in law enforcement procedure. A competent
policeman today is a specialist. He needs much schooling,
training and experience. It is no longer enough that he
walk a lieat, keep his eyes open for trouble, and use strong-
arm tactics when he encounters a belligerent law violator.
Today he must be an expert in traffic control, commun
ications, investigation, fingerprinting, and many other lines.
When he can qualify in these requirements, lie is entitled
to compensation equivalent to his ability. But it is difficult
for budget committees, even though they recognize the need,
to bring police pay into line, because it would mean general
salary increases in all departments, and thus materially in
crease taxes at a time when taxpayers are on the verge of
revolution.
Yet, in the long run, the cost probably would be less if
salary scales for civil servants were raised and personnel
turnover reduced.

cedure is in danger of serious dis
tortion when the negotiating par
ties cannot bring themselves to

The industry, the steel workers
