to meet the education require-

The union meeting was fairly
well attended Sunday, April 1.
Some, who attend more or less
regularly, were missing.
There seemed to have been a
lot of politics on the floor at this
meeting. Things are getting kind |

hotter.
It is my earnest opinion, our
union should have sent some one

tude tests to the extent its re-
se urces permit. He suggested that
many public school systems would
be willing to follow the Detroit
system in offering co-operation in
a training program.
The program is one way, he
wrote, to "minimize humand hard-
ships and dislocations associated
with technological and economic*
change.” Solution of the prob-
lem of technologicol employment,
he added, "of course” lies ulti-
mately "in a vigorously growing I
economy which creates new job
opportunities rapidly enough to re-
place jobs destroyed by automa-
tion and other technological ad-
vances and to absorb the additions
to the national labor force.”
"We recognize, of course, that
not every production worker can
or would want to fill a white-col-
lar job," Reuther continued.

Detroit.—A seven-point program i
aimed at spurring a shift of blue- |
collar workers to white-collar
jobs has been laid before the heads
of 20 major firms in the automo-
bile, aircraft and agricultural im-
plement fields by the Auto
Workers.
In a letter explaining the pro-
posal, UAW President Walter P.
Reuther called it “workable” and
declared it is "morally right, fi-
nancially advantageous and social-
ly desirable.”
"It is a me^ns of meeting your

this film. The membership ex-
pressed a genuine interest in this
film show. More AFL-CIO films
of more general union interests
will be shown in the future to the
bricklayers. We have scheduled ।
ductions in cost,” he wrote. "It
contributes toward the national
objective of up-grading the labor
force and improving the occupa-
tional adaptability of workers."
The program has its roots in the
steady drop in industrial produc-
tion jobs and the parallel increase
—in most cases—of office and
technicians’ jobs. To carry it out,
the union suggested:
That each company declare, as
a matter of policy, that qualified
production workers will be given
preference over non-employees in
filling white-collar vacancies.
That all production employees,
whether at work or on layoff, be
offered an opportunity to apply
for white-collar jobs in which they
are interested. ("It would be
