No Permanent Fact Finding Procedure Planned Says Warren
Edgar L. Warren of the U S conciliation service said the department of labor does not seek a permanent fact finding procedure for labor disputes. He told Milwaukee’s Association for the Advancement of Management that only about six cases yearly would merit study by a fact finding commission, limited to issues affecting the national economy. He noted fact finding is new and government traditionally avoids interference beyond conciliation and mediation. He also suggested labor fears over the Presidents request to refrain from striking during any fact finding period may be overstated.
