LONDON. for the Brat time in Britiah history a movr la baing mada on a national acala to anllat tha aklll and experience of the men and women In the faetorica and workahopa to stimulate output In practically all engineering factories tha workers are electing representatives to Joint production committees, writes Jack Tanner, president of tha Engineering Union of Great Britain, expressing his personal views in an article mada pub-- , lie by the British information services. Formerly this had been the task of tha managements alone. Workers engaged on tha Job had no machinery for bringing forward Often ideas," says Mr. Tanner. they felt frustrated because they could see that things were going wrong, but were denied the right of helping to put matters straight. Now that the National Engineering Employers federation has followed the lead of the government and agreed with all the engineering trade unions on a plan for Joint committees, on which elected trade union representatives of the workpeople will sit with equal rights with the managerial nominees, I confidently look forward to striking increases in output. My union recently conducted an Inquiry Into Britain's production effort. We obtained statistics from nearly 1,000 factories engaged on a!! types of war output, and employing some OiiJ.COO worker. We found that where, prior to the national agrecmc..!, production committees had already been set up, they had succeeded in pushing up production at a far greater rate than in undertakings where no such committee was at work. .A great deal of this increase was attributed to suggestions put forward by the workers, who had devised methods to secure economy in labor power, had proposed means lor better organiiatiop in the factory and bad taken steps to improve the training given to the vast numbers of unskilled men and women who are becoming increasingly responsible for handling the vast war machine being built up in the factories. I think it is true to say that many of the employers were amaxed to find the wide range of knowledge among their workers. They have discovered that skilled engineers not only understand their particular craft, but have also mastered to a considerable extent the wider problems of their industry. 1 have dealt only with my own Industry, but this form of negotiabetween emtion and ployers and workers is by no means confined to engineering. Right at the beginning of the war, the trade-unio- n movement secured a government pledge that no decisions affecting the workers would be taken without the appropriate trade unions being consulted. That pledge has been kept Ernest Bevin, the minister of labor, has carried out the greatest mobilization of man power in British history, but he has dime it all in full consultation with a Joint committee composed of representatives of the British Trade Union Congress General council and the British Employers confederation. This industrial democracy has enabled employees, employers and to work together government through the stormy years of war. I believe it must be maintained and developed for the equally difficult days of peace. If we succeed in doing that, we shall have gone some of the way toward ensuring that the promises now being. made to the people are realized." , WASHINGTON.-R- w ep.

FLA. By Mathieu interview'. ure." CAMP GENEVA. The conquered area of the rich Russian Ukraine, which Adolf Hitler planned to make a bountiful second American Middle West, today is a scorched land, ridden by terror, starvation and sudden death. That la tha picture that can be drawn from reports flowing Into Switzerland. The Ukrainians have learned that the collaboration Hitler prated about means brutality, mass executions and ruthless domination like something from the dark ages. There always has been a strong movement in that conquered territory for the Ukraine! for Ukrainians." Many of Josef Stalins measures were highly unpopular. Soma Ukrainian autonomists were sent to Siberia, while others went Into exile. Ilitlcr Makes Pledgee. Before Germany and Russia went to war a year ago. Hitler had made marked progress In fostering the Ukrainian Independence strong movement. Nazi agents promised liberation from Stalin to Ukrainian uutonnmist leaders, and had won of many of them. the But when the German legions began their march into Soviet territory. something happened to the Nazi Fuehrer's Machiavellian plan, say advices from the Invaded erea.i Perhaps Hitler changed his mind' about the best method of securing Ukrainian control uf the wheat Perhaps Die German army got out of hand. At any rate, the. collaboration carefully cultivated against Stalin gave way to black; oppression and extermination of the Ukrainians. The Nazi army quickly dropped its talk uf liberation and collaboration. Ukrainians were told to drop their arms and go beck to work,, tinder penalty of death If they refused. The Ukrainian autonomist were imprisoned. The peasants were told to toe the German mark. Tha result was that the Ukrainians stiffened their backs against tha invaders. Telia of Brutality. Tales of Nazi brutality came from many sources. One told of slaughter In Kiev, a city of about 600,000 people at the time of its conquest There, the Germans requisitioned the best section of the city, moved into large homes and settled down fur a rest Soon explosions rocked that section and entire city blocks went into the air. The Germans fled to the outskirts to set up camp. In retaliation, according to reports reaching Geneva, they shot 24(1,0(10 inhabitants. These same reports say that tha Nazi army has showed it la bloodthirsty and merciless, in dealing with conquered peoples. Entire villages have been blotted out In eastern Europe. The Ukrainians themselves have a theory about an this. They believe that the German action! ara tha result of certain general conception! that have been pounded Into the master race" since Aiiulf Hitler assumed power in 1933. The chief of tnese conceptions. say tha Ukrainians, is that lift is a struggle between racee end that the only way to settle the score hostile races la by Women d includum autogiros, amphibians, planes built past. especially por aerial photography-an- d "It has been shown," Dr. McLes-te- r states, that the earliest effects of nutritive deficiency are not to be Brutality, Starvation and Sudden Death It Dread Picture of Ukraine. bomber and fighter pilots are playing an Important purl in r.ussia'a air war against Germany.
