Labor and Industry for Cooperation.

of income, even in times Of so-called
prosperity, resulted In widespread pow
erty and suffering.
I'm remedying the defects to which
I have referred, the recovery program
regards all industry as existing primar-
lily for the service of the public. Profits,
we'll deserved though they may be. are
incidental to this. There Is nothing
new in this concept. For many years
the most responsible owners of great
wealth have held that the excess funds
which they have withdrawn from their
industries are trusts which they ought
to administer for the benefit of the pub
lie. Since this is true Of the surplus
earnings of industry. it Is certainly true
of the industries themselves, upon which
millions of people depend for their
livelihood.
Cardinal Rules.
These. then, are the cardinal rules
for the management of business under
the recovery program: Cooperation.
maximum production. fair distribution
and the dedication of business to the
public welfare. Practically every one
understands these principles and there
Is very little disagreement about them.
II can not understand why there IS

they are exactly the same as those pro-
mulgated for the conduct of business.
Industry and labor have been placed
on an equal footing in order that they
NAV pan together Each should bene-
fit by the experiences of the other. and
each should curb the others excesses

ing people to select representatives Of
their own choosing can not be quail
fed in any manner. It is written
clearly into the recovery act. Working
men must be allowed to protect them
selves from those in their own ranks
who degrade decent standards of liv-
ing. They must be allowed to act In
concert when dealing with employers
for the purpose of obtaining their fair
share in the distribution Of national
products, or for the purpose of adjust
ing other working conditions. Most en-
ployers recognize this; the minority who
refuse to do so are deliberate violators

Of the law as well as obstacles to eco
nomic recovery.
Labor thus is clothed with privileges
and responsibilities as great as those Of
any other group. In return, it must
adopt the methods most likely to secure
the full benefits of the recovery pro-
gram.
Strikes Drain Wealth.
"The strike should be abandoned as
an instrument Of first resort. Industry
and labor can not cooperate by means
Of the strike. Such conflict may de-
termine which of the two contestant Is
stronger a. a given moment, but 1t Is
merely accidental If 1t produces q solu-
ton which serves the best interests Of
both parties and Of the Nation. It has
been estimated that during the month
Of September 100000 working days
were lost because of strikes. These
tactics constitute drain upon the po-
tential wealth Of the country which can
never be replaced, and are unlikely to
confer lasting benefits upon workers
II want to emphasize that we should
not look with unmixed alarm upon the
strikes which have broken out in vari-
ways have accompanied industrial re-
vivals, and they indicate that labor is
filled with new hopes for the future.
Insofar as many of the disputes involve
the right to collective bargaining, the
workers are in accord with the princi-
Piles of the recovery act, and the OBJ
jectives which they seek are justified in
some other instances.
However, I think there has been q
failure in most cases to distinguish be-
tween means and ends. The ends of
the recovery program include the profit
able conduct of business, collective bar
gaining, cooperation between workers
and employers, and better standards Of
living for wage earners. These ends are
hampered by resort to means which
carry us backward to the old system
Of conflict and destruction, and which
prevent the building Of cooperative
order along the lines of the recovery
program.
Strike Not Illegal.
"A great deal of confusion is caused
by those who claim that workers have
been denied the right to strike, or who
say that the strike has been outlawed.
The strike is no more illegal than the
action Of an employer in closing down
his plant Either may be justified by
an extreme situation. Either may be
at times the only hope Of those who are
unjustly treated. But neither should
be used without primary resort to other
agencies for the amicable and con-
structive settlement Of disputes.
During the trying period Of read
justment through which we are passing.
industrial disputes are inevitable. And
even in the most prosperous times, I
should not like to see an industrial Or
der in which working people were not
alert and active in the advancement Of
their legitimate interests. Such acttvi-
ties will always produce occasional con-

organized labor, and from public life.
The four additional members appointed
two weeks ago add materially TO the
boards prestige with the country as a
whole. In the short time of two months
the board has made large number of
decisions which have been hailed en-
Enthusiastically by industry and labor. The
unanimity Of the board itself in all mat
ters has impressed the country with the
degree to which all interests are bound
together by the force of present world
conditions
Subsidiary organizations are being
set up rapidly in various parts of the
country. They must be administered
by men who are alive to the interests of
the group which they represent, and
who at the same time are able to tran
scend personal allegiances and take
the broad viewpoint OF national well
fare. I am confident that such men
will be found in ABUNDANCE
The question frequently is raised
whether the National Labor Board has
any power of compulsion over those

troversies. In addition, there will be
other disagreements In which labor's
cause is less just or even indefensible.
Some of these disputes cannot be
settled by the parties involved. Re-
course to industrial conflict has been
wasteful and disheartening. Occasion
ally the battles have been transferred
to the courts. 1t always has seemed
to me little irrelevant to argue whether
judges have been favorable to one side
or the other in such controversies. The
important point is that these matters
have not been the sort which courts
can handle most competently. The quest
for higher wages, for example, rarely
involves legal problems. Most indus
trial adjustments should be put in the
hands of agencies which, in addition
to being impartial. are trained to handle
them.
Agency Set Up.
"The National Labor Board is just
such an agency. Its seven original
members appointed by the President
have been drawn from industry, from

Consumers Lose.
"The production of goods is the foun-
dation Of any economic system. There
has been a great amount Of talk re-
Gently about the failure to adjust pro-
duction to consumption. Generally 1t
has been assumed that during normal
times industry produced goods to its
maximum capacity, which people could
not buy because of inadequate wages.
This is true, but it is only one side OF
the picture. The selfish quest for prof.
its has reduced wages and has served
at times to reduce production also. In
dustrial sabotage for the purpose OF
maintaining high prices has been
common occurrence. This practice re-
suited in direct and extreme losses to
consumers who received less goods and
had to pay an artiflcially high price Tor
them In the long run it worked to the
disadvantage of industry, for withhold
ing production Is wasteful and econom-
ically unsound.
"I am not referring to the temporary
limitations upon production which are
necessary under our emergency pro-
gram. With these am in accord
However, the recovery program certain
iv contemplates that productive effort
shall not be withheld for selfish per-
sonal reasons. Every ounce Of our nat.
ural wealth and mechanical skill should
be translated into the maximum amount

jority are at sea as to the out
come of the New Deal.
One Of the chief grounds Of
doubt is found in the question:
Was there really such an eXtraor-
dinary emergency last year as
to require the revolutionary steps
we have taken?
Some economists and others
feel that the depression had
reached a critical point" at
which extreme Government &C
ton was necessary. They say
that if industry had fallen any
lower, the economic system would
have collapsed.
Likened to Boat
One man said that it is like a
boat. If tipped too far, the water
pours in and the boat sinks.
Probably it is this line Of
thought, more than anything else,
which supports those economists
who sympathize with the New
Deal plans.
Some even say that activity in
this depression has fallen further
below normal than in any other.
and that conditions have thus
been different.
Others. however, deny this, and
with these am inclined to agree.
Two Facts Impress
AS examine the statistical
data concerning our past major
depressions, am impressed with
two facts.
l. The figures are not really
comparable. In the '30's, '7O's
and '90's our industries were
fewer and simpler, and the statis-
tics were scantier. We really can
not make any adequate compari-
sons.
