Baruch Author
Of West Coast
Labor Budget
WASHINGTON, Sept 18.-)-
Cohgress has learned that the la
bor budgeting . plan put into ef
fect on the west coast was pre
sented to the White House by
Bernard. M.' Baruch with the'dec
laration that it was the : only -alternative
to the drafting "of Work
ers.' . i - ; . . .' ' ts
-Baruch's report, made original--ly.
,tb war mobilization director
James F. Byrnes, was placed in the
congressional record .by Senator
Vandenberg (R-Mich). The sen
ator had demanded a copy after
some I.Baruch's conclusions, were
disclosed: a week agof by Byrne's
office. ' ' -,
The publication of the text also
disclosed that Baruch was sharply
critical of what he called the fail
ure of government . agencies,' to
work as a team to solve manpow
er problems. , , , s u v;
"The" time must end,' he said,
"when agencies spend their ener
gies battling to build up empires
of power. It! is time to reassert
the fact that Jhere is one, federal
government speaking with one
voice not a' 'centimouth.' , '
The west coast labor plan was
approved by J Byrne's office two
weeks ' ago and became effective
Sept 15. -v ; ..: I -
Briefly, it establishes a priority
on labor as well as a priority on
materials, with manufacturers be
ing required to draw their workers
from a pool - established by a lo
cal priorities . committee. Govern
ment agencies would be represent
ed on this committee, which would
be - headed, by a local . citizen of
high standing.
Baruch acknowledged that the
plan involved "more drastic con
trols than any yet introduced in
any community" since manufac
turers would have to give up their
right to hire as many workers as
they pleased and workers would
be limited in their choice of jobs.
"But the only alternative to
some plan of this sort is a nation
al service act for the drafting of
labor, which carries ; with it tre
mendous implications and would
take time to get," Baruch said,
adding: "Plane production cannot
wait -A- l':
The Boeing aircraft plant in Se
attle, he said, "fell behind sched
ule 40 Flying Fortresses a month
because of insufficient labor." ' .
- Baruch complained that there
are entirely too many agencies
"studying" problems of manpow
er, housing, transportation," labor
turnover and the care of children
of working mothers.
; "No more 'studies are needed,"
he said. "What must be done is
knowir. Action alone remains nec
essary.". '.
