Philadelphia, Pa.-Strong criticism
of the long work week and low wage
rates in codes of fair competition es-
tablished under the national indus
trial recovery act and the employer
dictatorship which enforces them, as
well as disapproval of the national
recovery administration tenn
porizing with employers who violate
the labor section of the act, charac-
terized the address here on Labor
and the NRA" by John l.. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Work
ers of America, before the meeting
of the Academy of Political and So
cial Science. Unless these conditions
were remedies by a change of ad-
ministration policy, organized labor
would mobilize it's strength in con-
gress to amend the law and make the
proposed policy mandatory, he said
Labor Supports Recovery Act
"Organized labor is single unit in
it's approval of the objectives of the
national industrial recovery act" Mr.
Lewis declared. Labor may differ
with the national recovery admins
tration in its interpretations and poll
cies, but as to the act itself the sup
port of organized labor, in funda-
mental sense, is without reservation
From the standpoint of human
welfare and economic freedom, we are
convinced that there has been no le-
gal instrument comparable with it
since President Lincoln's Emancipa-
tion Proclamation of 70 years ago. We
also are convinced that the principles
embodied in the recovery act repre-
sent Americas chief hope, not only
for economic recovery, but for bet
ter economic and social life in the
future"
Shorter Hours and Higher Pay Asked
But the head of the mine workers
had no illusions about the elements
necessary to bring about economic re-
covery. "Mass purchasing power" he
declared, must be increased in order
to absorb the constantly growing out
put of mass production industries, and
hours of work must be reduced, while
earnings are maintained, in order that
those who were technoligically dis
placed before the existing depression,
and who may have been displaced
since 1929 by improved methods and
further mechanization of industry,
may be re-employed."
So far, he said, the work week pre-
scribed in the codes is too long and
the wages too low to accomplish
these objectives. "The present pol
icy, with the exception of minimum
wage rates, is more or less temper
izing, and exceedingly slow in it's ap-
plication."

Washington, d. C. ILNS)-Stand-
ard Oil has gone to bat, with the aid
of the United States Department of
Commerce, for the company union.
Mr.. Walter C. Teagle, a very pleas
ant gentleman, who creates the i'm
preston of shooting square and who
moves with something of the mien
of midwest squire of older days,
has issued through the department
of commerce, blast supporting the
company union, dolling up his mes
sage in language that strives to look
like the language of a person who
had no cards whatever up his sleeve.
Thoughtful proponents of employe
representation, said Mr.. Teagle, the
head of Standard Oil, neither predict
nor desire the destruction of the un-
ion labor movement" whereupon he
proceeds to expound the beauties of
"employe representation" as pos
sessed of special advantages"

of space in the New York Times for
his outburst, which shows it was good
news there, at least

the equally old story that the man in

FOUR MILLION
Back to Work Under Codes
NRA Declares

Washington, d. c. (ILNS)-Four
million workers have been re-em-
ployed through the adoption of codes,
the national recovery administration
said in report covering the first six
months of it's activities.
The report said the original plan
of industrial self-governmenth has been
virtually achieved, and between 49,
100000 and 2O,OOO,0O0 men and wo-
men are now working under codes
which were declared of benefit to the
industries as well as the workers.
The report said in part:
'The national recovery admins
tration enters the new year with
record of having coded a preponder-
ance of American industry. From
100000 to 10000 900 of the esti-
mated total of 24,000,000 workers di-
rectly affected are now working under
codes fixing maximum work weeks,
minimum rates of pay, and eliminat-
ing destructive trade practices. 1t is
expected that by the end of January
nearly all industries will have been
codified.
Self Rule Held Achieved
"Thus the original plan for nation
al industrial self-government has
been practically achieved six months
49,. De-; Jox+ d DooroxyoJ+ ~, Jupa 1e
signed the national industrial recov-
cry act. codes for 181 industries are
in operation.
"The latest accurate reports show
that some 100000 workers have
been restored to gainful employment.
The basic pay of nearly five times
that number in factories, stores and
mines has been raised. Coupled with
drastic reductions in maximum work
hours, this has brought about great
Improvement in working and living
conditions throughout the country.
"With the nations economic life at
it's lowest ebb, the NRA afforded the
means and the method not only OF
pulling it out of the depression but OF
fastening a state of permanent eco
nomic security.
Cotton Code First Adopted
"For the task of formulating per-
manent codes, national recovery ad-
ministrator Hugh S. Johnson assem-
bled in Washington an administrative
staff to expedite public hearings, at
which every interest involved-man-
agement, labor and consumer-would
be represented.
dramatic achievements were dis
closed when results of the operations
of the first code were made public.
Results under the cotton textile code,
published after two months opera
tion. showed payrolls doubled, the
new rate being 40 per cent in excess
of the code minimum, 25 per cent
reduction in the work week and as
tonishing results in plan economy.
Of equal Importance was the complete
elimination of child labor in this in
dustry, which has been unable, be-
cause of the chiseling minority, ever
before to wipe out this hideous
abuse"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1934-01-19
New Policy Demanded

To meet this condition the national
recovery administration, he said
should announce new definite pol
icy for the guidance of industry to
which all codes should be required in
principle to conform. This policy
should be broader than that now ex-
isting, and should include, not only
minimum wage rates and maximum
hours, but definite price and produc-
tion objectives."
"The ultimate detectives as to pol
icy and procedure of the national re-
covery administration should be i'm
mediately announced and stated to be
the standards which must be included
by industries in their codes. To my
mind. these standards should be:
Il. Hours of work per week to be
reduced, as far as practicable, to a
general level of 80 hours week, of
five six-hour work days.
SO. Minimum wage rate of so cents
per hour.
49, General wage rates of 1926
raised sufficiently to produce the
same weekly wage for shorter hours
as earned per week before reduction
in weekly schedule of hours.
ID. Production schedule as of
1926"
Work for All Jobless
Mr.. Lewis expressed the belief that
these standards would put most of
the millions of unemployed to work,
suggesting that if it were deemed in
advisable to make the change to 1926
conditions in one leap it could be ac-
complished by stages, but that hours
should be reduced and rates of pay
advanced.
Prompt NRA Action Necessary
"The recovery act itself in its
more general provisions, as / have
stated, provides complete authority
for economic planning, including price
and production control, and the adop-
ton of such constructive procedure
by the national recovery act as | have
already suggested.
81 hope the national recovery ad-
ministration, therefore, will act on
its own initiative, in accordance with
the general powers it possesses and
thus render unnecessary recourse to
more explicit legislation by labor OF
other interested parties. Organized
labor hopes that it will act quickly

sentation is one of co-operation Mr.
Teagle says there is difference be-
tween employe representation and
company unions, which will be news
to the American Federation of Labor,
but he holds that "the unqualified
support of the employer" is necessary
to the success of employe representa-
ton.
Why He Likes Scheme
Mr.. Teagle likes employe repre-
sentation because "it settles local
problems without getting involved in
outside complications, which is a
very good reason why he should like
it and why workers should find it
just another bond of enslavement.
Such a plan, he declares, became
we'll nigh indispensable" when wages
and working time had to be reduced.
That means that the employers could
do as they pleased with "employe
representation" outfits, while unions
made their own decisions and fought
against wage reductions.
Read properly, Mr.. Teagle's
outburst, issued as "a report" by
Mr.. Teagle, is complete proof of
the value and need of real trade
unions for workers and COM
plete expose of the fallacy of So
called employe representation.
But this question is not yet an

of commerce use it's machinery to
