TRADE DISPUTES
DISHEARTENING
TO WORKINGMEN
SECRETARY OF LABOR DAVIS
RAPS JURISDICTION AL DIS
I PUTE IN BUILDING TRADES.
i ~ WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 14.—
Commenting upon the work of the
Division of Conciliation of the De
partment of Labor during the past
year, the Secretary of Labor in his
report to Congress takes a- fling at
the so-called jurisdictional dispute.
He says, “On .the matter o:f jurisdic
tional disputes I have strong convic
tions and shall open my mind freely
and frankly on the evil effect these
disputes have on the building prp
gram of the entire country. In some
instances it is more than a jurisdic
tional dispute—it is civil war between
contending organizations.
“I know of nothing more disheart
ening to a workman to set out in
* the morning not knowing whether or
uui iic 10 guuug lu get a, vaclj o ycij,
because one of these jurisdictional
disputes may be on; I don’t know
of anything so disheartening to the
owner of a building, the man who is
paying for it, or to the contractor who
employs the men to built it. All par
ties connected with the enterprise
of raising a new building can side
step the responsibility for these dis
putes, but it is usually 'the workman
who in the end gets the blame for
stoppage of work and organized la
bor suffers from it.
“The contractor, the sub-contrac
tor, the architect, the owner, the
financial organizations paying the
bills are all innocent losers in a sit
uation not of their making. I know
many men who are anxious to build,
and afraid to build, because of these
jurisdictional disputes.
“The fact as, these jurisdictional
disputes have become a matter of
grave concern to the whole public.
The whole business and industrial
machinery of the country is upset
as, one after the other, important fac
tors in the national buildiag program
are subjected to loss by wrangles and
stoppages of work. The l6s^ begins
with the wages of the trades in dis
pute. It spreads and spreads until
large sections of the public are out
of pocket. That sort of thing, if
long continued, can slow up the
building program of an entire section
vi *lxic tuuuu), ctiiu. XL uafc a uau
feet on business generally. It is
impossible to over-emphasize the bad
effects arising (from one of these dis
putes, and it is just as haWl to over
emphasize the importance of getting
them settled and stopped as prompt
ly as possible. And the worker him
self can not get out of his part in
getting them settled.
“Nothing can do more to destroy
the chances of organized labor to
deal with large organized industrial
interests than these civil wars among
the unions. Organized labor has
withstood destructive assaults within
and without its own ranks. It should
root out the jurisdictional dispute.
So long as the trade-union movement
stands true to its priniciples and de
serves the support of its membership
and the public, it will get that sup
port. But, unlike other movements
in this or any other country, organ
ized labor can commit suicide thru
internal dissension. And these jur
isun;uuuai uispuies aie just mat
form of suicide.
“There are angles to this abuse in
(building that 1 can not go into here,
but in all the 'human elements that
enter into it the workman always
gets the blame. These constant
stoppages are costly. They cost the
worker not only in loss of wages but 4
in constant assessments that the ’
fighting may go on. Every loss caus.
ed by these disputes comes home to
the worker, because every addition
al cost to a building is paid in higher
rents and purchase price. These
fights are even cutting down work
by frightening people from building.
“Here is the case in a nutshell:
Invention and change in building me
thods are going to go on. So long
as progress goes on disputes are bound
'to occur. The thing is to get them
settled.
“After all. the American worker is
a business man. We have got to
rely on his business sense to refer
to an impartial tribunal .created for |
