While his scheme has had at least the virtue of bringing management and labor into mutual agreement, there is small comfort in it for him since their alliance in this case is founded on the single premise that Mr. Wicks is wrong. It appears, however, that Mr. Wicks would sooner be decisive than right. Even so, the announced resolve of labor leaders to shed illusions about their "honeymoon" and to press their case more strongly than ever must cause him a quiver of alarm. However sold he is on a part-time Labor Relations Board and the deceptive saving of $10,000 in salaries, he cannot fail to see that such a board is poor equipment with which to handle management-labor relations when the gloves are off. Mr. Wicks' error seems to lie in a misunderstanding of the continuing nature of those relations. He apparently believes there is no contact between labor and management until some issue arises which brings them into headlong collision. If this were true, his part-time board might be sufficient as it is reasonable to hope there would not be enough major differences to keep it busy all the time. " But it is not true, and the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act which created the board does not assume for a minute that it is. Quite apart from dealing with strikes, the LRB handles all certifications of unions as bargaining agents, appoints all conciliators and conciliation boards, and hears and deals with all complaints about violations of the ICA Act. Some of its duties in union matters involve days of hearings and secret ballot votes of affected workers.

Some of us think that you. personally, are .in a key position to "Eosy" Credit Can Be Costly to Consumer Three devices, Mr Muir said, hud been available to correct the lull in bu.anerfi which had occurred early In IJs.2. These were lax reductions, priir rcauciionH, "and easier credit terms. Despite some reductions in excise taxes, the effect of the lil."i2-53 budget had been to Impose a heavier over-all bar-den of taxation: prtc riiHiiimns. while they hut! occurred to some extent, played a relatively small part in the revival of trade which t'liik place towards the half wjiy m.iik of 1S52.

The relationship between the two is the tight one of interdependence. This leads to friction and stepping on one another's toes, but the real danger comes not when, they get closer together but when they move distrustfully apart. To keep peace in such a crowd is the full-time function of the LRB. It is not, as Mr. Wicks sees it, that of a stretcher-team darting out now and then between battle-lines.
