Diplomacy
Takes Over
By HAROLD WARD
WASHINGTON—(/P)—The na
tions new labor trouble shooter is
a husky, 42-year-old native of
Pittsburgh, where the steel and
coal industries have seen bitter
labor-management clashes.
Edgar L. Warren, who took
over as director of the U. S. con
ciliation service under the recent
Labor Department shuffle, dem
onstrated his organizational abil
ity as chairman of the Kansas
City and Chicago regional War
Labor Boards.
In Chicago he handled more
cases than any other of the board’s
12 regions. Working in his shirt
sleeves, the greying Warren took
several of the toughest labor dis
putes in the Chicago area—includ
ing the city-wide truck strike
which resulted in Army interven
tion.
While there he also had to com- j
bat a virtual management sitdown
strike over board directives. Em
ployers refused for a while to
abide by WLB orders.
The reorganization work War
ren performed in Kansas City will
serve him well in his new job—
revamping and bolstering the con
ciliation service, which now num- ;
bers 250 commissioners.
Secretary of Labor Schwellen
bach, telling reporters of War- {
ren’s appointment, said the con
ciliation service during the war
had been forced into the role of a
“mere certifying agency’’ for the
War Labor Board. That is, the
conciliation service certified that
there was a dispute, and WLB
settled it.

Schwellenbach laughingly ad
mitted that Warren’s Missouri
family background “didn’t seem
to be a handicap” in his selection 1
for the job. President Truman
also is a Missourian.
Neither was it a drawback to
Warren when he was appointed
chairman of the Kansas City
board. The national WLB then
was trying to find a man at least
familiar with local Kansas City
problems. It found him in War
ren, who was then assistant direc
tor of the wage stabilization divi
sion of the board in Washington.
Warren, it was discovered, had
been graduated from Kemper Mil
[ itary School, Boonville, Mo.,
founded by his grandfather, Fred
erick T. Kemper. His father, Wil
liam R. Warren, was editor of the
I “World Call” and the “Christian I
Evangelist” of St. Louis, periodi-j
I cals of the Christian Church.
After graduation from Bethany j
<W. Va.) College and taking grad- j
uate work at Harvard Business |
School and Brookings Institution,
Warren became an economist for
the Ralston-Purina Co. in St.
Louis, remaining there for seven
years. In 1933 he came to Wash
ington as an economist for the Ag
riculture Department, and in 1938
went over to the Labor Depart
ment’s wages and hours division.
He jumped from there to the
WLB in 1942.
When the original draft of the
U. S. Constitution was displayed
at its sequicentennial celebration
in Philadelphia in 1937, it was in
sured for $500,000.

Even as the Reich crumbled
around him, chubby Walter Funk,
55, Hitler’s never-say-die econo
mics boss, tried to salvage it late
last April by setting up a new
government in Salzberg. A one

sized bon vivant followed less
Nazified Hjalmar Schacha as eco-,
nomics minister in 1938 and
Reichsbank president a year later.

was no howling Hitler zealot. But
