Business Men Divided

The first anniversary of NRA to-
day found local code authority Off
GERS unanimously favoring the ex-
pertinent and business executives
divided in their sentiment.
Business men, most of whom did
not care to have their names
quoted, may be divided into three
classes-favorable, critical and i'm
partial.
Those critical of NRA were
alarmed by growing operating costs
due to increased pay rolls and by
the failure to punish some merch-
ants who were chiselling on the
code. The attitude taken, however,
was that the NRA was an expert
ment which should be given
chance to prove itself.
Results of the NRA as set down
by various state industries are:
Building supply industry, 20 per
cent wage increase and 20 to 25
per cent employment increase; ice
industry, 10 per cent employment
gain and 10.7 per cent wage in
crease; petroleum industry, $500
workers added to Indiana pay rolls;
lumber industry, raised laboring
wages 10 cents an hour and added
1000 to state pay rolls.
Other comments were that NRA
had kept many automobile dealers
from going to the wall in 1884, had
reduced unemployment to practi-
cally nothing in the graphic arts
industry and kept the lumber in
dustry from plunging into chaos.
Many code leaders were firm in
their convictions that the NRA had
brought order out of economic
chaos by stabilizing various indus
tries. They feared that if NRA
were removed that industry would
fall back again into cut-throat COM
petition.
Many business men who support
the NRA in spirit do not approve
of it in practice because they feel
that regulatory methods and adj
ditional pay roll increases will choke
out their profits. This sentiment
was found to be true especially
among small business men.
One merchant was attracted by
CWA and PWA, by-products of the
recovery act. He stated that it put
additional money INTO circulation
which in turn was coming to mer-
chants.

Editor of The Times.

AIRY, Ind, June 16.-I came
VI to Gary last night and with
in two hours was arrested
detained" was the way the
United States Steel Corporations
private police described it.
1t was the eve of what prom
ised to be one of the most dread
full industrial conflicts since steam
elbowed out handicraft. News
papers have to make careful
preparations for covering such a
story. They have to lease tele-
phone wires, engage rooms, con-
tact authorities, and, above all,
their staff men must familiarize
themselves in advance with the
projected scene of action.
That was why I came to Gary.
That, also, was why I was de
tanned"
The city lays a grimy hand
along the south shore of Lake
Michigan. Hugging the waters
edge for six miles is the steel
plant, its chimneys stabbing the
horizon like smoking battlements.
A stagnant ditch and three rail-
road tracks embrace it on the
inland side. 1t may be ap-
preached only by bridges. From
the military standpoint it is al
most impregnable.
Beyond the mill, sprawling
south on the prairie, is the COM
munity of f1at-topped, false-front-
ed business buildings and row on
row of frame cottages as alike as
one shoe box to another. These
are the company houses" Like
a slightly Slattern regiment they
spread over the lowlands. 1 felt
that if some one shouted Squads
Right" they would wheel and
plunge headlong into the lake.
THIS was what I saw as l
l. arrived in Gary shortly after
6 yesterday evening. I asked the
hotel bell boy why all the cleo
trio lights f1ickered so constantly
and unpleasantly.
1--WE have a low number of
cyles here. Only twenty-five" he
replied. Makes it easier for the
steel company, you know
I didn't. But I did mention to
the boy that sixty cycles was the
ordinary standard for illumina-
ton. He merely shrugged, saying:
You know, the steel company
wants twenty-five cycles"
We dropped the discussion and
I asked him to get me a taxicab.
That was how I met Steve Petro-
vich, who has been hacking
around Gary for ten years and
knows the town. His father is
too old to work for the steel COM
pany and Steve would rather drive
cab. He knows lots of folks in
the mill, though. So does every
body in Gary.
They don't want to STRIKE"
Steve told me-. But they'll go
out if the others do. They'd have
to-"
told him to drive me to every
steel mill in town. I wanted to
study the entrances, to visualize
just what contingencies The Times
would face in covering an indus
trial conflict at those entrances.
y
LIE took me to the main gate
Il l. of the big mill on Virginia
street. 1 cautioned him not to
get on company property. 1t is
difficult in Gary to tell where the
public domain ceases and the field
of the United States Steel begins.
Virginia street runs straight as an
arrow, but suddenly, without the
slightest warning, becomes jeal-
ously guarded private property.
We drove up to the narrow,
dirty creek, but Steve said we
could not cross the bridge. He re-
marked that the city police had
fixed that bridge as the boundary

The public works administration
also was year old today. Together
these two claim to have spent or al
located So, 30o,OO0,0OO and re-em-
ployed 100000 persons. Spending
is by PWA. They shared re-employ-
ment.
This anniversary is marked by a
barely averted steel strike. Dispute
over collective bargaining guaran-
tees brought auto workers to the
brink of walkout last March. The
same argument stirred steel.
Labor has become progressively
critical as Administrator Hugh S.
Johnson developed his ideal of in
dustrial self government. Early en-
thusiasm of union leaders dimmed
but major strikes have been avoided
so far.
Child Labor Abolished
Against bitter labor protests, MIRA
offers q record of industrial codes
which abolished child labor, fixed
maximum hours and minimum
wages, doomed the sweat shop and
promised to the working man and
woman the right to organize and
bargain collectively.
The exact meaning of that prom
Use is disputed. Labor contends
that the government is pledged to
outlaw the company union-spon-
sored, often controlled, by the plant
management.
Johnson warned last March that
the most disastrous strike epidemic
in American history impended. His
words still echoed when automobile
workers all but dropped their tools.
Longshoremen, textile operatives
and the sweaty host of the steel
mills in turn showed fight.
On another front NRA is chal-
lenged on the grounds that it fosters
monopoly; permits the big fellow in
industry to gobble the little man;
that prices soar beyond the rise in
wages.
Johnson at Charleston
Clarence Darrow's national recov-
cry review board has twice reported
on MIRA codes with blistering COM
plants of that kind. A third and
final report is due July l as the
Darrow board expires. johnson fore
babe further code price fixing after
the first barrow blast, but subse-
quently qualified scope of his new
policy.
The administrator is celebrating
NRA'S first birthday at recovery
mass meeting in Charleston, w. Va,
where he and Donald r. Richberg,
MIRA counsel, will use a nationwide
radio hookup to answer their critics
and foretell the future of an UNI
precedented American experiment.
The two great recovery organiza-
tons. NRA and PWA. are twins.
