THE SIGNING OF ';Q K CQNTR ',CTS AND THEIR APPLICATION
The decree on the stablization of manpower prescribes
that work contracts must be signed in a written statement and
for a specific length of time for at least three to six months
.
This measure was passed with the object of strengthening work
relations and stabilizing the labor force - an esntial condition
for the successful solution of the manpower problem and the
completion of planned tasks.
The signing of work contracts should be considered as
serious and should not be approached in a formalist,?stereotyped
way, a s,is.often the case, because:upon this depends, to a large
.measure, the consummation of pledges, i.e., the strength and the
respect of'the contract itself. it is.not.a matter of indifference
if a worker signs a work contract perfunctorily, or if every
.worker is individually acquainted with the context of his contract,
i.e. , the duti.evof; worker, working conditions, his rights and
advantages, etc. Everyone must realize that every irregularity
made when.a work cbntract is signed, inherently contains a germ
of disrespect both of the contract and its obligations. ',.'hen
a contract is signed in a stereotyped manner; than the worker is
left with the impression that it is forced upon him and, therefore,
can hardly wait to break the contract, as has occasionally been
done. But if each worker is spoken to when signing his contract
and if he is acquainted. with the significance of his work and if
he is shown the possibilities for his advancement, etc., then the
worker is conscious of the fact that he voluntarily took on certain
obligations.
A considerable number of enterprises have neither carried
out the necessary preparations to explain the significance of the
decree nor the necessity o#' signing a contract in a written form
for a specific time -- the contracts themselves did not appear
in good light because of this.
One of the irregularities connected with contract signing
which must be mentioned is that, in certain enter rises, contracts
are signed only by workers ~,Thile bosses do not do,
The respect and the strength of contracts does-not diminish
only through irregularities that occur during signing, but also
by the violation of already signed contracts. This violation
is caused to a large decree by the employers,-themselves, who, in
order to attract a greater number of workers, are prone to promisee
such V.-Angs as they cannot later fulfill, when they make their
tours in order to conscript workers on the terrain. In this way,
for example, the representatives of th-: factory'of dried meat
44Juhor" in Svetozar and the factory of textiles in Paracin are
promising wokkers apartments which have not been completed ytt.
It often happens that, a contract specifies one job while the
worker is given,a totally different job, therefore, in fact changing
the qualification of the worker. Another appearance is the, promise
in the contract of work in one location while the worker is actually
sent elsewhere, etc.
The self-willed breaking of contracts by employers particularly
came to notice at the time when a surplus of manpower was crested
in certain enterprises because of the changes in the dynamic plans
of the labor force. DesiriQus of harmonizing the working force
and the Plan, certain enterprises simply. broke contracts and fired
workers without any notice. 'These appearances were wiped out
as soon as they were noticed, but regardless of that they did lessen

confidence, in. contracts.
However., self-willed-violation of work contracts is
also made by workers.. There+. are frequent occurences whereby
a contract which is'.sined on the terrain specifies the date.
when the worker should report for duty. However, ?a considerable
number of workers do not come at a specified time, or at all,
and thereby-violatethe obligations?signed .in the contract.
In this way, for example, on the territory of the Kopaonik
county, between May 1 - 15,125 contracts for the Kopaonik mine
was signed, but only 23 workers reported for duty. There are
also cases of a worker coming fo work but quitting?before the
contract expires. These cases occur, in good part, because
the corresponding legal measures are not applied. In as much
as they are applied. it is usually superficially and ineffectively.
In this connection one should underscore the fact that the
enterprise which ha's workers who quit their jobs before time
do not always report this to the peoples committee on tire, and
in as much as they do submit these reports the work commissions
and the commissions for violation do not pass decisions quickly
enough. A flagrant appearance of this lax relation is often afforded
by the example of the commission of labor in Knjazevac where
reports lie around for months on employees desks without being
acted upon.. This holds true for the commission of labor in
Smederevo. One should also underline the fact that in certain
cases all runs smoothly in the commission and the subject is
sent to the violation commission, but, this office either doesn't
pass a decision immediately or passes a ~unitivo decision but
doesn't execute it.
3acause of all these irregularities, work contracts do not
have the authority and fimmness they should hwe. Examples of
arbitrary labor violations, even though markedly on the decrease,
still. occur often and, have created r - at obstacles in the solution
of the auestionsof st,blizing the labor force and the consummation
of production tasks.
It is therefore necessary to pay the greatest attention to
see that work contrrctsa.re signed following a talk and an agreement
with each individual worker. When a contract is signed in such a
manner then a sharp struggle for the respect of these ogreements
should be started, so that all the obligations pledged both by the
employer and. worker are completely and properly fulfilled.
Commissions of labor should be the carriers of the struggle fore
stablizing manpower.. There reaction to violations of contracts,
from whatever quarter, should be swift. The main fight for manpower
stablization should still be in the. enterprises. The respect of
contracts ; by workers fully depends on the manner with which enter-
prises fulfill their obligations concerning work and home conditions
and in their gppeoach in.'developinf social conscientiousness. 11ow-
ever, as everywhere else, party and trade union organizations are;
required to afford aid.on this question. This question should be
taken seriously by'co-ordin=tion commissions throughout the count Les
which 'were formed in order to carry out the labor stablization decree
as properly and as fully as possible. Only in this manner can wort
contracts take on the necessary authority and become the paramount
law for employer and for worker.

THE KOREAN SITUATION BEFORE THE UNITED NP TIONS
(lake Success, 30th June)
The Secretariat of UNO received. the reply of-.the Soviet Union
to Trygve Lie's announcement of the res^lution ;f the Security C-)uncil
concerning the o freak -)f hostilities in Korea. The Soviet Uni-n
quotes as one of 7mein reasons for rejecting and not recognising the
resolution of the Security Council the fact that the Security Council's
eecision cannot have legal force if it is n ,)t unanimously supported by
41ve permanent:.members of the council. In UNO circles it is, expected
that the Secretariat will reject the Soviet point of view on the
illegality of the resolution as untenable because numerous decisions
of the Securit r Council fr:,m 1946 onwards h,7 v,?. been c~ as dered e 'fec-
tive by the Soviet._Uni-)n even if one; or mono members of ?the C' uncil
have. ~-~ rybstaln~ d'from voting There have been cases when. the-,Soviet
Union has not denied he `authenticity and legality' of particular
decisions.--'f ?the Security Council although itself having abstained
from voting on those decisions. Many delegations in UNO quote
numbers of such decisions wherein the USSR, although refusing to vote,
did not contest their legality- Rol ring UT) n these facts the ninistry
of Foreign fiffairs of the US1^, and many dole-.gations, ?f UNO have rejected
the Soviet. reply to 'Trygve Lie's annc)uncemcnt as unfounded,' . The
British delegate. stated that the absence of any power from the 'Se'curity
Council could not be considered as something which could paralyse the
work of the council. It is considered in Lake Success that the
absence of certain members cannot be accepted as a reason for not
recognising the decision of the Security Council, all the m:>re so as
in this case it is P. questi,,n of voluntary absence.
