welt government and the hearty ap-
proyal Of the extension of the
strikebreaking truce" was the key
note sounded yesterday by G. L.
Bardo, President of the National As
ISOLATION Of Manufacturers, before
the executive session of the annual
meeting Of the National Industrial
Council at the Hotel Waldorf-As-
toria.
Cooperation is clearly contem-
plated in the platform of industry
now before u.s." said Mr.. Bardo. we
thoroughly approve the Presidents
proposed Industrial labor truce and
urge its extension. We are strongly
opposed to the 30-hour week. It is
economically unsound. The only
cure for unemployment is employ
ment, and this must come by slim
ulating private industry"
Moving constantly ahead. with
the certain cooperation of the
Roosevelt government, the country's
leading industrialists discussed their
anti-labor policies.
Program for Monopoly Capital
This Council, subsidiary of the
National Manufacturers Association.
powerful organ Of Wall Street mo-
nopoly capital, is discussing what
is planned to be program of re-
covery, that is to say, a program for
expanding monopoly profit. The
plans of this proposed program of
recovery were already made clear
this morning in an address delivered
by James A. Emery, General Coun-
sci of the National Association of
Manufacturers.
In his address, entitled Industry
and the 74th Congress-" Mr.. Emery
emphasizes that the major OBJ
jective of the Roosevelt government
and the country'S leading indus
trialists in the coming months, will
be drive against the labor move
ment, particularly against the trade
unions, with the idea of smashing
whatever standards have already
been achieved by the working class
through strikes. Affirming support
of the N. r. A., Mr.. Emery stated:
1T is inconceivable that this
structure will disappear in June. 1t
Is incredible that it can just even
temporarily continue without mod
ification."
Instructions for Roosevelt
Thus, it is clear that the indus
triakStS of the country are now lay
ing down in executive session the
specific changes which they desire
Roosevelt to make in the N. R. A.
set-up. The direction of these re-
visions is indicated by the slogans
proclaimed in Mr.. Emery's speech,
"self-government for industry"
On the question of the open shop,
Mr.. Emery quoted as his authorities,
Mr.. Donald Richberg and Supreme
Court Justice Brandeis. Mr.. Emery
quoted the following words from
Richberg's speech on the labor policy
of the Roosevelt government:
when labor leaders seek to use
the employers as the means of
coercing men to join their organ
ization, they are not only creating
poor organization, but they are
also violating the fundamental prin-
ciple of Section Ia of the N.R.A"
Quoting from Supreme Court
Justice Brandeis, Mr. Emery said
Unions should take the position
squarely that they are amenable to
law, prepared to take the con-
sequences when they transgress and
thus show that they are in full
sympathy with the spirit of our peo-
pie whose political system rests up
on the proposition that this is a
