McCoy, director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, Washington. After you talk with him for a little while you get the impression that he's the "real McCoy." Appointed to the mediation post just a year ago today by President Eisenhower, Mr. MeCoy (it's little awkward to call such a warm-natured man mister) now says he's in the notion of resigning his important assignment "to go back to teaching law in Alabama or go into labor arbitration work." He admits that the powersthat -be, and that includes high administration officials as well as important labor and industry figures, are exerting pressure on him to remain as the mediation boss. "I haven't resigned yet," he says. "But sooner or later I'll get around to it." Meanwhile, the slight Washington born administrator is working at his mediation job like a ball of fire and giving no outward signs that he yearns to return to his law classes at the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa.

His schedule today calls for a press conference at 9:30 a. a conference with local labor leaders at the Sheraton-Gibson from 10 a. m. to noon, luncheon, and then a conference with industrial management representatives from 2 to 4 p. m.

The labor and management meetings are being held 1 in principal cities in order to explain at first hand the service's arbitration procedures and policies, Mr. McCoy The meetings have already been held in New York: Spokane, Kansas City; Dallas, and Seattle, Washington. Mr. McCoy explained that it has been the policy of the Eisenhower administration to constrict rather Mediation than to Service expand the Federal more jurisdiction in the places of the states and assume less authority in labor matters the Federal government. The administrator cited several instances where states and even certain cities, including Toledo and Louisville in this part of the country, have operating labor have management been arbitration plans that working efficiently.

"The staff of Federal mediators numbers 225," he pointed out. "which is pretty thin coverage for the entire nation at times when there is a large amount of work to be done." But, he added, his office has complied with President Eisenhower's economy program and has cut down from 12 eight regional offices without sacrificing man power or efficiency. A Democrat himself, Professor MeCoy said he "inherited" most of the mediators now on his staff whom he labeled "excellent men. all of them." He denied that there has been any pressure put on him to make room in his department for poltical patronage appointments. "I like the staff I have now.

he asserted. "So far, I haven't fired a single one." He explained that mediators were employed strictly on a basis of merit. including experience in labor or management relations, or both. together with prescribed educational requirements and from within certain age limits. Mr.
