Elliott declared that labor-management
peace is being purchased
at the price of higher prices for
consumers and a greater possi
bility of damaging inflation, when
he addressed the second in a
series of ex tensiondi vision lec
tures being given'to help Nebras
ka citizens understand national
and international affairs.
"The new government policy of
allowing immediate price in
creases to insure profitable oper
ation after approved wage in
creases constitutes in no way a
fundamental solution to the prob
lem of industrial disputes," Dr.
Elliott stated, "it is a victory for
management in the sense that
mgner price ceilings are possible.

No Restrictions , . .
We the undersigned, presidents of the university In
terfraternity council and the Unaffiliated Students asso
ciation, wish to make clear that no student organization
on this campus exists with membership restrictions in
terms of either race, religion, political philosophy or pre
vious membership in the armed services of the United
States. At present, except in organizations that are
formed either only for men students, or only for women
students, any student may, on his own merits, aspire to
membership in any student organization on this campus
We regard a change in this policy in regard to member
ship in student organizations as inimical to the well-being
of the university community.
It is true that there are many campus groups that
are organized for special intellectual and social interests.
But the membership qualifications are not expressed in
terms of cutting off one group of students from the whole
student body.
All the students on this campus are members of a
single community5. The problem of any one group of
students must be solved in terms of the whole student
body, or that problem will not be solved for the good of
the whole university.

It is a victory for labor since it
increases pay and will probably
ward off restrictive legislation
against 'unlons.',
Dispute Settlement.
Elliott also said the settlement
of labor-management disputes by
compulsory government control is
not the answer to industrial peace.
"The government should enter
the conflict only to the extent
that the two parties be put on an
equal basis. Thereafter it should
be up to labor and management
to settle their differences by some
voluntary formula which they
themselves work out This means
that unions and management
must recognize that they have a
social responsibility." i

day, "Dr. Gregory is now available
for consultation with all students.
However, he will be expected to
devote a major part of his time
to giving experience, aptitude and

school, and to those who are ex

the near future."
Consultant.
Dr. Gregory was guidance con

when it was first organized in
1940-41. He entered the army as
a private, and at the time of his
discharge held a captain's rank.
Experience gained during a year
spent developing AAF classifica

According to Elliott, the public
should keep eight factors in mind
in evaluating present industrial
turmoil:
1. Fundamentally the labor
management problem is the pro
duct of an inefficient operation of
capitalism in that employers
dominated labor markets, rather
than highly competitive labor
markets, making it necessary for
employees to combine in union
to muster enough strength for
bargaining on more or less equal
terms.

government intervention because

Organization
Aims, Outline
BY DALE NOVOTNY.
A five point program to help
veterans "fit themselves usefully
into the pattern of university life"
were outlined as objectives for an
organization of former GIs at
tending the university, at an or
ganizational meeting held in the
Union Tuesday night.
The objectives: (1) To act as
liaison agent between the univer
sity administration and veterans
and other campus organizations;
(2) to encourage fellowship
among veterans; (3) to inspire
veterans with a sense of loyalty,
spirit and responsibility to the
university; and (5) promote so
cial activities and athletics for
veterans.
Constitution Read.
Following the reading of a con
stitution prepared by a previously
chosen steering committee, acting
chairman Don Mitchell asked for
routine discussion from the floor
before final ratification of the
constitution by the assemblage.
The presence of returned vet
Elmer Sprague, whose feelings
were contrary to those of backers
of the organization, added color
to the discussion.
Sprague's repeated questions re
lating to the actual purpose of the
organization's formation and their
subsequent aims lead to heated

ful enough to keep unions in
check.
. 3. During the 1930's, the union
movement gained ground rapidly
because of the Norris-LaGuardia
act (nullifying effectiveness of in
junction), the labor relations act
(right to organize without inter
ference), and fair labor standards
act (minimum wages and maxi
mum hours.) All restricted em
ployers placed no limitations or
responsibilities on labor.
4. Short-sighted policies by
labor leaders just prior to and
during the war led to a demand
for "checks" on unionism. The
Smith-Conally act resulted, but
failed in its purpose.

Ebcrt Award
In Pharmacy
Paul J. Jannke, associate pro
fessor of pharmacy at the univer
sity, has received the American
Pharmaceutical association's Ebert
prize for 1945 for analytical re
search and development of a drug
used in the treatment of varicose
veins.
The award is made yearly for
the best original investigation of
a medicinal substance. The prize
committee made special mention
of Howard Jensen, former univer
sity graduate student now in the
navy, who collaborated on the re
search. Worked Since 1938.
Professor Jannke began re
search in 1938 to develop a vari
ation of sodium morrhuate, a
medicinal compound derived from
cod liver oil, which would more
effectively and efficiently treat
varicose veins than any of the
other 117 brands of the compound
then on the market.
After injecting dozens of rab
bits with many varieties of this

ment was told the government
would slabilize prices, but wages
were to result from collective bar
gaining with the implication that
pay raises would be forthcoming.
6. To resolve this situation the
labor-management conference was
called, failed, and the Issue was
tossed back to the government.
One of the most bitter periods of
industrial warfare In our history
followed.
7. Public clamor for action pro
duced three bills in oongress; Nor-ton-Ellender
(fact finding boards),
and Case (restrictions on unions).
8. None of the three bills is ac
ceptable to labor or management,
and it now appears that they will
not become law.
