been consulted in drawing up the code,
and pointed out that it was the scheme
of the U. S. Steel Corporation and
Bethlehem Steel, both of which had
rigidly excluded union labor from
their plants since the great steel
strike Of 1919. He said hal these
two concerns produced S3.5 per cent
of the total national output of struc-
.tural steel in 1882. He read from the
Lockwood Committees report, of 1882,
to show how the harsh industrial re-
~lations policy Of the two corporations
was imposed on the industry in gem
eral. By various subterfuges, he
said, builders who are fair to organ
lied labor are prevented from getting
a supply Of steel. The pledge given
by the steel trust to the Federal
Trade Commission some years ago to
abandon monopolistic practices, he
charged, has been wantonly disre-
garded.
Going into the financial setup of
steel trust subsidiaries, Morrin ex-
planned how they are able to underbid
all independent ereetors who employ
union labor. The pending code, he
then demonstrated, gives full control
over the fabrication and erecting
branches of the industry to subsidiar-
les Of U. S. Steel and Bethlehem Steel.
An independent contractor, to come
under the code, must join the a~ssocia-
ton dominated by these anti-union
forces, and he thereby would be pre-
vented from paying the union wage
scale or agreeing to union standards,
which are far above those named in
the code. The A. F. of L., Morrin ar
gued, had already made a satisfactory
agreement with the Public Works Adj
ministration on labor conditions on
structural jobs financed by federal
funds. He demanded that the wage
scale in the code be raised to the I'M
ion scale, and be made uniform for
the entire country.
Green endorsed Morrin's demand
that the f%abricating and the erecting
branches Of the industry be dealt with
separately. With half of the workers
in the industry now idle, and with
average operating hours during the
first z months of this year only 31.E
per week, Green asked whether an av-
erage 40-hour week were not open de-
fiance of the Presidents recovery
program. He branded as grossly I'M
fair to the workers. the wage scale
proposed in the code, and in a solemn
tone warned the steel trust and Dep
uty Administrator Murray that "the
very perpetuation of American insti-

out a license to operate his plants,
and that the license terms would be
as strong as those in the code which
he refuses to sign.
Meanwhile Sen. Wagner, as chair
man of the National Labor Board, is
sued a statement outlining the work
of the regional boards for settlement
of labor disputes-as though in an
swer to Johnson's issuance of regula-
tions for the District Compliance
Boards. While the Compliance
Boards, chiefly made up of business
men, are told by Johnson to take up
and seek to adjust complaints made
against employers, they r warned
that in cases involving a threatened
or actual strike or lockout, the facts
must be handed over to the National
Labor Board or its nearest regional
branch.
"a series of new rights and obi
cations between employer and en-
ploye," Wagner said, "have been
created by the National Recovery Act
and the codes and agreements estab-
lished under it. The failure clearly
to understand these new relations,
coupled at times with suspicion and
distrust between the worker and the
employer, has led to a number of in
dustrial disturbances which have in
many instances no real basis in fact,
The great majority of these contro-
versies can be readily composed if the
parties are brought together to dis
cuss their differences calmly and
quietly in the presence and with the
assistance of disinterested and high
minded persons. The National Labor
Board was created for the pur-
pose of affording disputants in Labor
controversies such an opportunity to
resolve their differences"
All labor disputes occurring under
the industrial codes except those
which provide their own labor boards
such as bituminous coal and cottor
textiles-and under Unemployment
Agreements, are under jurisdiction Of
the Board. Grievances affecting only
a few persons may be referred by The
divisional boards to the local com
pliance authorities. Where the Re.
gional Labor Board gains the consent

WASHINGTON-FP)- Admitting
finally that the Ford Motor Co. is de-
flying the Recovery Act, and that its
violations Of the law and of the auto
mobile code could not be ignored
much longer, Recovery Administrator
johnson told the press, Oct. q, that
"Edsel Ford told me they would never
accept collective bargaining of any
kind"
This was the first frank disclos-
ure by Johnson of the outcome of his
conference with Ford, months ago in
Detroit. 1t was accompanied by a
promise by johnson to trade his Lin
coin car for one made by General
Motors. He announced that Director
Fechner of the Civilian Conservation
Corps had notified him that low bids
for supplying a big order of trucks,
submitted by Ford dealers, would be
rejected. The Administrator declared
that Ford could not hide behind local
dealers in marketing a product made
in violation of the automobile code.
Not only Ford is refusing to deal
with organized labor. So far as
known, General Motors continues in
exactly the same attitude, and its dis
missal of 800 Chevrolet plant employ
ees at st. Louis for joining a labor
union has gone unpublished. But Ford
has apparently made no preparation
to file, on Nov. l, the report of pay
rolls and other production costs re-
quired, under the code, to be submit
ted to the Automobile Code Authority,
which is a committee made up large
ly of his competitors. Secrecy as to
his costs has always been insisted up
on by Ford.
Stirred by questions Is to what ac-
ton he would take against Ford,
Johnson said that he would turn the
matter over to the Attorney General,
if. Ford fails to submit figures re-
quired by the Code Authority, by Nov.
T, or thereabouts. He did not, how
ever, appear anxious to commit HIM
self to any deadline date for action.
When questioned as to what punish
ment might be inflicted on the manu-
facturer, Johnson replied that the law
and the code provide for fines and
for injunctive restraint. This meant
that Ford might be required to take

~tutions" depended on their realizing
that "This is not a bargaining day"
for the American worker.
Walsh said that the anti-labor pol
icy of the steel trust was unchanged
since the days of the Homestead
strike prosecutions; that the pending
code, if forced upon the men, would
prove a social tragedy" and that he
had reason to believe that the policy
applied in the first Homestead steel
war, OF employing armed guards to
crush the union, had again been ap-
piled this year in the case of the
trusts captive mines. He agreed
with Morrin that acceptance of this
code would make the two chief ele-
ments of the steel trust absolute
masters of the erecting business.
James j. Ryan, for the Bridgemen,
Ironworkers and Riggers Union of
America, with membership in New
York and New Jersey, asked a min
imum wage Of $1.65 an hour for
Bridgemen in that district, with a fine
of $500 per day for any employer pay
ing any mar less than this rate.
W. A. Calvin for the international
Brotherhood of Boilermakers and Iron
Ship Builders, charged that the advo-
Gates of the code were engaged in a
general campaign of wage-reduction,
using the NRA for that purpose.

DENOUNCE THE STEEL FABRICATING
CODE AS ANTI-UNION

de-
nunciation of the proposed code for
the structural steel and iron fabricat-
ing industry was voiced at the NRA
hearing on that code Oct. 80, by P. J..
Morrin, general president of the In
ternational Association Of Bridge,
Structural and Ornamental Iron
Workers, and by William Green, pres
ident of the American Federation of
Labor, and Frank P. Walsh, former
chairman of the War Labor Board.
Morrin described the proposed code
as "the final, indefensible effort of
the steel trust, in its conspiracy to
destroy Independent erectors and to
crush out the unionization of iron
workers.
Maximum weekly work hours would
be 40, averaged over a 6-months per-
iod, and minimum wages would
range from 81 cents an hour in the
Southern district, for common labor,
to S1.45 an hour for first-class bridge
men in New York City, if the plan,
sponsored by the trusts American In
stitute of Steel Construction. were
adopted. c. G. Conley, president of
the Institute, testified that he spoke
for 80 per cent Of the industry's pro-
duction.
Morrin protested that labor had not
Wiggin $4,000 for his supposed wis
dom.
All of this economic %rottenness is in
keeping with what has been disclosed
as to the operations of ]. P. Morgan
& Co, Kuhn, Loeb & Co., the Nation
al City Bank crowd and Dillon, Read
& Co., before the same Senate COM
mittee in recent months. 1t raises the
question as to whether President
Roosevelt would have dared hesitate to
take oven the banking business as a
function Of the federal government,
last March, had the truth been known
at that time. And yet the banking
kings still rule the country's life, with
ever-increasing i~nefficiency.

Economists in the Department OF
Agriculture say that, regardless OF
sound money or soft money, the con-
sumption Of beef in this country has
always risen or fallen with the buying
power of the people. Artificial limit
alton on the production of cattle will
raise the price of beef, and will ia
that extent reduce the buying of beef.
Under the scheme of compromising
taxes which the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration is extending over
the food list, the family that a nc
longer buy much beef, due to rising
cost, will not be able to buy any real
substitute, either. The cost of each
substitute will be raised. And most
of the rise in price will go to the mid
dlemen. Meat packers say they can
not absorb these processing taxes
they a only pass them along to con-
sumers.
But, say the government experts,
this country can easily produce enough
meats and cereals and fruits and
other commodities to give every Amer
lean family a standard of living meas
ured at $4,000 a year at present
prices. All that stands in the way OF
production Of this wealth is the par
alysis in distribution, which means
the poverty of the masses of the peo-
pie. Redistribution of income seems
inevitable as Roosevelt's final report.

in his pledge to bring back prosper

THE WASHINGTON
E . By Laurence Todd

WASHINGTON-(FP)- is it the
dance of death that the old Produc-
tion-for-Profi System has staged, un-
der Franklin Roosevelt's direction ?
Are all of these mad forces of eco
nomic waste and destruction, swirling
about the national government, to get
beyond all control, lose all direction,
merge into a tornado which will clear
the ground for the peaceful and or
derby construction of a System of
Production-for-Us Use?
Confused by White House expert
ments in the manipulation Of gold
stocks, Of wheat and corn and cot
ton and banks and mortgages and
jobs, the oldest press correspondents
in the citadel of American politics
have begun to abandon their accus-
toned sureness of judgment. There
are so few fixed points left, by which
to judge the movement of the times!
What will stand firm tomorrow, what
will collapse today, nobody knows.
But they are convinced that the old
competitive system is breaking down
so completely that the nation five
years hence will scarcely be recogni-
Fable as the one which in 1888 was
trying to restore buying power for
the unemployed by destroying the
food and cotton they needed, was try
ing to save agriculture by laying
heavy consumption taxes on the foods
that were not destroyed, and was try
ing to improve wage levels by ruth
less slashing of the pay of federal
employees.

Before the Senate Banking and
Currency Committee sits Albright H.
Wiggin, former head of the Chase
National Bank, slowly unfolding the
story of his t%ax-dodging activities
when he was rated worth half a bill
lion dollars and was debating to
American employers that they must
cut wages in order that business
should remain "healthy." Special
Counsel Pecora drags from him adj
missions that he personally owned
three corporations in this country and
three dummy corporations in Canada
all set up for concealment of his
selling short the stock Of his own
bank to a private profit of over $10,-

Canada he a enabled to forget pay

arbitration board it may do so; other
wise it will act as a mediation board.
Even in the bituminous coal and the
cotton textile industries, the National
Labor Board may take jurisdiction in
particular cases and instruct its Re-
gional Board to act. Failure by a Re-
gional Labor Board to settle a dis
pute will result in an appellate de-
cisiOn by the National Labor Board.
Each Regional Board will report
daily by wire to the National Labor
Board any new cases undertaken by it.
The Cancellation Division of the Labor
Department will in this way be en-
abled to cooperate in adjustments.
Workers and employers will have
equal representation on each Region
al Labor Board, under an impartial
chairman.
Thus the machinery is set up. But
disciplining of employers who are
everywhere refusing to recognize the
right to organize has yet to begin.
