Based on Love
CHICAGO W. Ned H. Dear
born, president of the National
Safety Council, Wednesday called
for a love-thy-neighbor approach
to safety. - -: ; .
Speaking before delegates to the
43rd annual National, Safety Con
gress, Dearborn said emphasis in
the past always has been on each
individual's responsibility for his
own safety. Now, he said, the in
dividual should realize that he
"cannot be careless without en
dangering others and they cannot
be careless without endangering
him." i
In another speech. Gov. Arthur
3, Langlie of Washington said a
tough campaign of traffic law en
forcement caused citizens of his
state to undergo a "rebirth of driv
er responsibility."
Langlie reported that in it
months, from January, 1932, to
October, 1953, traffic deaths for
the nation as a whole declined 2hi
per cent.
In Washington State during the
same period, he said, such fatali
ties dropped 11.6 per cent.
Lumber Union
Council Eyed
PORTLAND Ufi Representa
tives of thl . AFL Lumber and
Sawmill Workers Union will meet
in Portland Saturday to discuss
formation of a new Western States
Council for the union.
Union spokesman Kenneth Davis
said such an organization would
put the union in a "better position
to bargain on an industry-wide
basis." Davis is secretary of. the
Northwestern Council for the un
ion. . ' ;
The Northwestern Council now
takes in Oregon, Washington, Ida
ho and Montana. Speaking at the
AFL Shingleweavera' convention
in Portland, Davis said Arizona,
New Mexico, Texas, Nevada and
California would be brought in to
make up the Western Council proposed.
NLRB to Seek Highest Court
Opinion on Bargaining Ruling
, BERKELEY, Calif. The Na
tional Labor Relations ' Board
(NLRB) has decided to ask the
Supreme Court to rule that an
employer must open his books to
a labor union when claiming ne
can't afford; a wage demand. Low
er courts hive split on the ques
tion. ! . ' -
The decision to seek a ruling
by the highest court wsi disclos
ed Wednesday by Theophil C.
Kammholz, general counsel for the
NLRB, in a speech prepared for
the 34th Pacific Coast Manage
ment Conference. j
"The question Is," Kammholz
said, "whether good faith bar
gaining requires an employer, on
request by the union, to furnish
the latter With the company's fii
nancial or iother data upon the
basis of which 1 the employer j
claims that he cannot afford a
wage increase demand." -.- jj
Ruling Made j!
The NLRB has ruled that em-,
ployers must furnish such data I
when refusing wage demands i
Kammholz Mid the NLRB ruling
aoes not require me doss io prove
he is right: in his position, only
to supply the union with the
data on which the employer's de
cision was ibascd. f
The Second Circuit Court of
Appeals in! New York approved
this NLRB position, but the
Fourth Circuit Court at Rich
mond reversed a case in which
the NLRB so ruled.
Kammholz said the board has
decided to appeal the Fourth
Court's ruling, and thus carry the
question to! the highest court. ;
Root of View
Noting a series of NLRB de
cisions requiring employers in
most cases to furnish unions with
payroll, job classification, seni
ority and time study date, Kamnv
Kammholz said the Fourth Cir
cuit Court, in rejecting the NLRB
view that employers should -furnish
unions with economic in
formation, felt that it was up to
management to decide whether a
pay increase could be afforded
and, also, that disclosure of con
fidential data such as .manufac
turing costs could hurt an em
ployer competitively.
