THE WAGNER BILL

The coal agreements effect upon
the Wagner bill must not be over
looked. 1t will strengthen the pro-
ponents of that measure. Congress
has been flooded with propaganda
against the Wagner bill; the auto
strike settlement is now being used
as the wedge of the present drive by
manufactures and business mems
associations.
It is admitted in administration
circles that the National Labor Board
is essential to the NRA setup. 1t
won't be abolished. But it must be
strengthened if it is to function Ergo,
it will be strengthened.
The coal agreement has now offset
the auto-strike settlement in public
reaction to the bill. Furthermore, the
attack Of the National Association of
Manufacturers upon the Influence of
labor" is not as impressive to the ad-
ministration as it was after 1919 be-
cause it's success at that time in keep
ing up hours and forcing down wages
has been generally regarded as a fac
tor in causing the depression. Since
the arguments have not changed
they are largely discounted, and il
is likely the administration will pro-
ceed in its own good time to get what
it wants.

TROUBLE FOR HITLER

Signs multiply that Herr Hitler and
his Nazi followers are running into
q peck Of trouble. The church in Ger
many, both Catholic and Protestant,
doesn't like the Nazi attitude toward
religion and some other things, and
is showing a rebellious spirit. just
at present the Catholic Church is
taking the lead in opposition to Nazi
policies and the Vatican has prom
ised full support to Catholic youth
organizations which are resisting
compulsory amalgamation with the
Hitler youth movement, as planned by
the Nazi regime.
The Catholic Church has been in
existence long time, and it is hardly
possible the Hitler upstarts will
change it greatly. In the end, the
Nazis will probably be beaten.
The conflict with the church people
is not the only thing troubling the
Nazi regime. German exports have
fallen to low point because of the
boycott in nearly all countries, the
governments gold reserve is shrink.
ing, and the country is in the grip
of the severest economic crisis the
Nazis have had to face.
All in all, it does not look so gooc
for the German dictatorship and it.
attempt to make all Germans thinl
and act alike. The Nazi course il
an insult to intelligence and in th'
long run this never pays.

RECOVERY WITHOUT STRIKES

RECOVERY WITHOUT STRIKES
The industrial atmosphere has been
so severely charged the past several
weeks that even the cool-headed ones
found themselves affected.
Professional economists are now
telling us that the current industrial
unrest is one of the most hopeful
signs of the past few distressing
years; that labor disputes always
precede the final emergence from an
economic depression,
We hope this is so. We still hope
however, for recovery without
strikes. In fact, we believe that such
recovery is possible, providing each is
willing to see the other fellows side
At time when supply and demand
has increased production but has no,
made itself felt on labor, union de.
mands must not exceed the ability Of
the industrialist to absorb too rapidly
increasing wages.
On the other hand, a union
whether it be the American Fedora
ton of Labor, the National Automo
bile Chamber of Commerce, a codi
fled industry, or some other combine
of power, is after all a union, ane
the union of workers should not be
singled out for discriminatory regu
lations.
During the past three or four years
the people of this country have beer
admirably patient. Let US hope, 70,
their sake and the sake of the presi.
dent, that they will trust yet little
longer.

THE COAL AGREEMENT

Signing of the new wage and hour
agreement for the Appalachian soft
coal field and imposition of the agree
ment by the NRA on the entire BIZ
luminous industry were events which,
in their bearing upon general indus
trial trends, may prove equal in sig
nificance to the auto strike settle
ment, although the daily newspapers
did not give the coal agreement equal
prominence.
The coal agreement has 35-hour
7-day, $500 day base wage, check
off, no company union, no works
council, no exception to the collective
bargaining clause of the recovery act
as in the automobile code, and no ''list
of union members provision.
The auto strike settlement was held
to have some bearing upon future
labor adjustments. The coal agree
ment upsets that theory completely.
All of the brakes upon collective bar
gaining set up in the auto settlement
are ignored. Labor spokesmen feel
that those brakes will be largely ig-
nored in other industries, at least in
those industries where labor is
strongly organized.
A factor that may greatly influence
the trend toward shorter work week
as desired by the president is the 3d.
hour week, because it pushes the
hours below the 36-hour standard
which is now the objective of NRA.

VERY STRANGE BEDFELLOWs

Elihu Root and Alfred e. Smith
both condemned the child labor
amendment last week. Powers Eter-
nal," as Byron might say, "such
names mingled"
No one who knows his history is
in the least surprised at Root. He has
been the attorney Of privilege from
the first-and his earliest important
client was no other than Boss
Tweed. He was touted for many
years as Americas greatest lawyer;
but if he ever took a case for the
people, the matter has escaped atten-
Ftion. His greatness" apparently, lay
in his remarkable skill at showing
big business how to evade the law
and get away with it.

Mr.. Root is 80 years old; and the

nunciation of the child labor amend
haent are older still.
But what explanation can anyone
make of "Al" Smith?

the sidewalks of New York. East

TELEGRAPH INDUSTRY
INDICTED

One of the most blistering indict-
ments ever made of an industry was
that of President Frank B. Powers,
of the Commercial Telegraphers'
Union, against the telegraph commu-
nications industry. Powers showed
by the industry's own figures, as col
lected by government agencies, that
it's management has been inefficient
to an almost incredible degree.
While business was declining, the
big telegraph companies, needless Of
danger signals, increased plant and
equipment investment not far from
100 per cent. At the same time, tele-
graph business was steadily declining.

" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes Aippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

A contractor goes to Jail for work
ing men more than 40 hours week.
If you don't believe that's something
new under the sun, ask the United
States Steel Corporation which, just
a few years ago, worked men so long
that they went in circles from beds
to work.
In those very recent days of the
12-hour day it was considered no.
body's business how long an employ
er compelled workers to toll. And the
employer could compel it, too, for
there were men waiting to take the
jobs of those who might quit, OF
those who became burned out, of
those who got killed.
Those who remember Castle Gar
den will understand about that. To-
day there are many who never heard
of Castle Garden.
Times change and today it is the
business of the nation, matter OF
social and political concern, to see
that men do not work beyond de.
cent limit, even though the limit is
still too long in many industries.
But there are other things to con.
slider today. A year ago employers
were mighty sick lot. They were
willing for any kind Of state help.
The state has helped and business
is looking up. So, "the devil monk
is he" Short of memory and weak

to be allowed to go it's own way. n
is putting up lot of money for prog
aganda to induce the government to
''leave it alone"
The worst of it is, business has
created a lot Of support for itself
through it's propaganda, because
business men are not the only ones
who think little about matters Of So
cial concern.
The nation made beginning in
the direction Of democratic control Of
industry. There were lot Of mis-
takes and the structure hasn't been
, so very democratic, but it was headed
that way and still is. Business, Of
course, doesn't like it.
Business knows that such control
means limit on exhorbitant profits,
| that it is a menace to compound in
terest and that there will be more
to distribute among the working peo-
pie.
| If the working people Of America
allow the good work to be undone, il
they allow the old profit institution to
return to it's old ways, then they will
indeed be foolish-just poor saps.
But they probably will not permit
any such thing.
| And if they do the next crash will
be lot bigger than the last one, and
that will be the end of capitalism.
The modern industrial machine can
not any longer function and hold to-
gether under the old rules Of 1929.
Some think it can, but they are mis-
taken.
The one sound thing remaining is
the principle of democracy. If we can
save that we can go on, as we should,
to build the worlds finest civiliza-
ton.
The fact that a contractor can be
put in Jail for working men too many
hours day is bit of straw in the
bor-not just lot Of unions, but q
wind, showing that we are trying TO
hold to the course. There are many
other straws.
The ideas Of the people are pretty
sound, if only special interests do not
turn their steps backward.
The best insurance America can
, have against going backward is a
strong American Federation of La
) great network of unions knit to-
gether within the American Fedora

If employers and some others can
keep unions apart they can check

Miss woods.
Il don't know how it did hap
pen," she said. II did not mean to
