HYDE PARK, N. Y, August S.
President Roosevelt today put
national tribunal Of. seven men
over the troubles of industry and
labor to preserve peace for the
remainder of the recovery cam
paign.
The discriminating move was
prompted by a voluntary shaking
of hands by employers and en-
ployes for national welfare. The
President described it as momen-
tous' and pursued the unusual
course as a medium for the dura-
ton of the recovery drive.
Looking ahead to the future,
he made it plain tonight that he
does not want a permanent Gov
eminent management of industry.
He will leave it to time and de-
velopment to determine the
method of future control and the
limit to which it will go. He is
going to watch the way business
men and their employees behave
meantime.
Board May Continue.
The national tribunal of seven men.
headed by Senator Wagner, Democrat,
New York, legislative labor authority,
will serve during the critical stage of
the recovery drive. 1t may continue as
a central body or eventually there may
be established arbitration boards for
each industry.
Mr.. Roosevelt does not want any
conflicts over Interpretation Of the
newly made industrial codes while the
Nation is fighting its way up. To this
end, he expects the tribunal of repre-
sentatives of management and labor to
preserve complete peace in the trying
days of reorganization.
He regards it all as new and, like
any other law or innovation, he wants
the movement to test itself out He
feels the great danger is in misinter-
probation of the new codes for industry
and he has named the tribunal to
adjust any difficulties in this direction.
1t was made plain here. however,
that both Gen. Hugh S. johnson, the
industrial administrator, who brought
the peace campaign here, and the
President want to avoid Government
management of industry and to return
eventually to industry the responsibility
0f its management
Complaints Dismissed.
Backing up to the limit the National
Recovery Administration, Mr.. Roose-
welt today also signed dismissals OF
complaints by three organizations which
asked for exceptions from the cotton
textile code. All units of the trade
must go along together, he ruled.
The proposal, which came volun-
tarily from the advisory boards OF the
National Recovery Administration, was
brought here in dramatic night air
plane trip by Hugh S. johnson, the
industrial administrator.
"Of Importance to the recovery pro-
gram is the appeal to management
and labor for industrial peace, which
has Just been sent to me for approval"
said Mr.. Roosevelt in a statement an
nouncing appointment OF the tribunal
headed by Senator Wagner. Democrat,
of New York.
with compelling logic, it calls upon
every individual in both groups to avoid
strikes, lockouts or any aggressive action
during the recovery program.
Commends Move to Nation.
"It Is document on par with Sam
uel Gompers' memorable wartime de-
mand to preserve status quo in labor
disputes in addition to the sigma
ture of the President of the American
Federation of Labor it carries the sigma
ture of every great labor leader and
every great industrial leader on the two
advisory boards of the Recovery Admin
istration. It is an act of economic
craftsmanship. earnestly commend 1t
to the public conscience"
The direct action for national mo-
ratorium on strikes followed quickly an
agreement won by Mr.. Roosevelt
through Gen. Johnson's ending o. the
Pennsylvania coal strike.
With these 10000 striking miners
again in the pits, the administration
believed that the welfare of 100000 re-
lated workers had been saved and as
surance given to keep the smoke going
out of the chimneys of the newly
working factories of the country.
