Provisions of the national electric
safety code, the union insists, should
be written into the light and power
code to help protect workers from
hazards, which run twice as high as
in other industries. Construction
work should come under the special
electrical contracting code. The uni
on demands labor representation or

Backing up the union substantially

POWER TRUST is
EAGER TO PUSH
THROUGH CODE
By Harvey O'Connor

WASHINGTON-(FP) - A hun
bred sleek and oily pooh-bahs of the
electric light and power industry
showed up in Washington Jan. IL to
shove through one of the sleekest and
oiliest NRA codes yet presented. 1t
is sponsored by the Edison Electric
Institute, successor to the rancid, ILL
fated Natl. Electric Light Assn,
whose propaganda against public own
ership became so notorious that pow
er magnates decided to scrap the or
ganization. They then proceeded to
use the name of Thomas A. Edison,
inventor, to %sanctify their new setup,
which announced that it would not
seek to corrupt public opinion through
propaganda in the schools and subsi-
dies to the press.
First to jump on the proposed code
was the federal power commission
which protested the omission of any
reference to federal jurisdiction. The
code acknowledges the control exer-
cised by state regulatory boards, COM
posed usually of plant politicians,
but ignores the federal commissions
authority. The code also speaks of a
proposed private survey of the ma
TONS power resources, in conflict
with the federal power commissions
Next came the public utilities COM
mission of the District of Columbia,
which charged that the code will give
the power trust complete domination
over the industry, undermine such re-
gulation as has been set up to pro-
tect consumers and destroy the sliding
scale of rates for the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co., based on profits.
While Preston S. Arkwright spokes-
man for the power trust, presented his
defense of the code to Leighton H
PEBBLES, NRA deputy administrator
officers Of the Init. Brotherhood OF
Electrical Workers and of New York
Edison unions were waiting THEN
chance to explain in detail just what
the power trusts code means for la
Dor.
The first and outstanding short
coming Of the proposed code, stated
the brief prepared by the electrical
workers, is the failure to stress the
public character of the public u~tilitie;
industry. Eight big corporations do
inmate the industry, which is enjoy
ing as good returns now as in 1927
l28.
Against the codes $14-15 minimum
wage, the union asks a scale Of Sc
an hour for unskilled workers anC
$1.20 for skilled workers, who consti-
tute the overwhelming majority Of
all workers in the industry. Against
the 40-4S hour workweek proposed
by the trust, the union asks 30 hour;
and ridicules the trusts contention
that there aren't enough skilled work
ers to operate on that schedule. Sin
ce 1880, $4,000 workers have beer
forced out of the industry, the unior
states.
The electrical workers brotherhood
asks the NRA to eliminate the com
pany union issue in the industry by a
provision that the power trust may
spend none of the money it gets from
consumers to build up and maintain
company unions and socalled mutual
benefit associations, a disguised form
of company unionism. This demand
follows closely the wording Of the en-
Urgency transportation act which bans
financial assistance Of any kind from

Making Votes For Roosevelt

One of the best eampaigners these DAYS for Frank-
lin D. Roosevelt is Herbert Hoover.
The latter's magazine articles, his book. aThe
Challenge to Liberty and his personal encourage
ment Of individual r~eyolters against the new deal as
exemplified in the case of the fighting Illinois banker
who refuses to come into the federal deposits insur-
ance corporation. are all calculated to react in favor
of the president.
Not that MI, Hoover, of course, is not entitled to
have his say. But in his case a lot Of Americans will
recall that he had his chance to meet the economic
problems OF the day-and they voted him a flat fall
ure. Criticism and active opposition from him now
that the immediate danger Of collapse has been re-
moved by the courage and activity Of the man who
took the reins of government from his own nerveless
hands is hardly calculated to command much public
attention or respect.
We find it hard to weep over Mr.. Hoover's picture
Of "regfmented' industry shackled and chained by
bureaucracy In the first place industry asked for
most Of this regulation itself-at least to the extent
OF trying to prevent ruinous competition and boost
prices. It's complaints are largely directed against
those protective measures designed to save the con-
sumner and the employee from being entirely over
looked. aa
Sec. Wallace has the right words for 1t when he
retorts that instead Of there being too much govern
ment in business, 'if the full truth were ever known
about the way governmental influence has been used
by great corporations, public Indignation would know
no bounds"
Our tariffs, our ship subsidies, even our munition
manufacturing and sale las Is now being demonstrate
ed( are but a few examples OF the extent to which
business Is, and has been, making use Of government.
President Roosevelt was optimistic enough to de-
clare Thursday evening that more and more Ameri-
cans are beginning to do their own thinking and to
form their own opinions, regardless Of propaganda,
gossip, runnors and other "aids." IL he is right, they
will regard the emergence OF Herbert Hoover from
retirement as largely political-and not very good
politics at that-St. Paul Daily News.
