GOVERNMENT ASKED
BY DAVIS TO HANDLE
INDUSTRIAL DISPUTES
~ Assoc.ated Pressl

(Ry Associated Pressl
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12-Declar-
ing the nation must find a way to
avert these futile, fatal appeals 10
force in industry" Secretary Davis, Of
the labor department, recommended
to congress today in his annual report
that the Cancellation machinery of the
Federal government be so expanded
as to enable it to handle effectively
nationwide industrial disputes.
No better example of the futility
of these appeals to force can be
found, said the secretary, than the
recent strike of the bituminous coal
miners. After months of suspended
industry, the 100000 striking coal
miners returned to their work with
out single change having been eff
feeted in wages or condition of EN-
ployment. 1t has been the expert
ence Of the department of labor that
disinterested intelligent practical con-
Citation is capable of ending many of
these disputes.
1T seems to me that before enact
ing any radical legislation or chang
ing the administrative scheme for
dealing with these strikes, we might
well consider the perfecting and ex-
tension of the machinery which has
proved so reflective in the past"
The secretary's report recommend
ed a series of legislative enactments
on other subjects dealt with by his
department. He asked that the i'm
migration laws be revised to permit
examination and selection of pros
pective immigrants at their ports OF
departure, and to make more stringent
the provisions of the Chinese Elk
clusion act; that aliens resident in
the United States be enrolled and ed
ucated in Americanism; that definite
action be taken through a constitu
tional amendment or otherwise to enc
the employment of children as wage
earners; that juvenile offenders be
given a status in the federal courts
separate from that occupied by
adults; and that the federal employ
ment service be enlarged to enable
it to keep a finger at all times on the
industrial pulse of the nation.
Reviews Federal Action.
Mr. Davis reviewed in detail the
part taken by the federal government
toward the settlement OF the rail an
coal strikes, but expressed no opln
ion regarding the merit of the two
controversies. He did refer, however
to the debated question of the att
tude taken by the Association of Rail
way executives toward the railroad
strike settlement proposal of Presl
dent Harding, when it first was sub
mitted to them.
After two conferences, said the
secretary in reciting the details o
settlement negotiations, the presiden
submitted a definite plan of settle
ment. The president then called IL
the late T. Dewitt Cuyler, chairman
of the Association of Railway Exec
utives, who. l understand, agreed t
urge acceptance of the proposition
submitted 1t appears, however, tina
when the plan was presented to thu
Association of Railway Executives il
New York, it was rejected"
Continuing his discussion of strike
which involved the interest of tn
general public on a large scale, Secre
tary Davis said that ALI thinkers hav'
recognized for some years that mel
who take an oath of office in pubic
service give up their right to strike.
