The union reply to management
cries of featherbedding is general
ly this: The work rules grew from
management abuses, and are cal
culated to insure decent working
conditions, prevent speed ups
and management arbitrariness,
and to promote job securities of
workers. Any specific abuses, they
contend, are subject to negotia
tion. Tne steel industry-, in the recent

union's complaint.

both reluctant to comment on the
mystery of how the auto industry
has managed to escape feather

plagued other fields. '
Privately, an industry spokes
man said the answer is that the

lowed featherbedding practices to
get started.

Mag Says
Union Won
NEW YORK (AP)-The United
Steeiworkers Union scored a ma
or victory in its contract settle
ment with major steel companies.
Iron Age magazine said today.
The national metalworking
weekly added, "The companies.
under government pressure, lost
their battle along major fronts
The well publicized local prac
tices hassle is being settled along
the lines the union argued."
As a result of the settlement,
the magazine said, steel compan
ies will have to raise prices.
Iron Age said it was unlikely
that any increases would exceed
$j a ton, 'and added it was more
likely that they would run less
than S4 a ton.
Iron Age added, "Cost of the
settlement, which the industry re
luctantly accepted after terrific
government pressure, is too rich
for the blood of many steel com
panies.
Eldon Johns, son of Mrs. Jose
phine Johns, is visiting at his home
in Malin. He will return this week

at Oregon State College.

Some economists, on the other
hand, say the featherbedding dis
pute is merely the symptom of
a far graver problem automa
tion. Union leaders concede that in
the current strike-threatening rail
dispute, they are battling to save
thousands of jobs from disappear
ing amid the tremendous mid
century upsurge of automation
with its labor-saving devices.
The railroads are by no means
alone in their charges of feather
bedding practices, which they
claim are bleeding oif the savings
expected from expensive new
automatic equipment.
In a sense, it might even be
said that the universal coffee
break is featherbedding, .because
it involves getting paid for time
not worked.
In the building industry, carpen
ters sometimes refuse to handle
prefabricated panels, and still
cling to the old handsaw when a
power saw would do the work five
times faster.
Painters demand double wages
for using a spray gun; in some
cities, house painters refuse to
