Inc MIA provisions on labor call
for unionizing all employees. The
American Federation of Labor says
that means utilization with their instl-
tuition and it has fought bitterly for
that result. Industries and employers
generally disagree with that idea.
General Johnson has sided with labor.
He has Donald Richberg, longtime
attorney for labor unions, as his right
hand man in NRA, and Mr.. Richberg
surely has backed up the generals
plans, if, indeed, he did not formulate
them.
AS a counter irritant in the situa-
ton, some of the employers have con-
tended that IL en-
counter ployees in their re-
Irrifdnt spective plants or
ganized themselves
Into union of their own, there was
compliance with the law. They have
insisted on this to the extent of re-
fusing to deal on wage questions with
any delegates excepting those from
their own plants. A negotiator affiliat-
ed with the American Federation of
Labor was welcomed in those plants
just as warmly as most of us welcome
a rattle snake.
AS further bit Of history, it should
be recalled that Mr.. Roosevelt early
smelled the trouble that could come
under the labor provisions, so he set
up the national labor board, Of which
Senator Robert Wagner, Of New York,
is the chairman. 1t was to be some
thing of an appeals board, body for
review of complaints. But somehow,
that body also construed the law as
against company unions and the en-
ployers were baked again.
So now there is definite and con-
certed effort to break down the pro-
gram that an organization of employees
must be affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor before it is &C.
ceptable to the powers that be in
Washington. 1t Is row that is GO
ing to continue for some weeks. There
will be strikes of greater or less con-
sequence; there may be, some riots
and some bloodshed, and surely there
will be much oratory, very little of
which will be from people who are
conversant with all phases of the
problem.
AS part and parcel of the Roose-
welt attack, or counter movement,
against opponents of the MIRA, it is
generally believed in Washington that
the President used his powers to pre-
vent any government purchases from
manufacturers other than those COM
plying with NRA provisions. 1t was
a week or more ago that he issued the
executive order that precludes the
award of government contracts to any
bidder not a member of NRA. Some
observers here are saying that this
order is going to cost the government
a considerable sum of money. 1t has
the effect of limiting the number Of
bidders. Although one may say that
nearly every firm of consequence il
flying the Blue Eagle, there are very
few that have not in some way or
other violated its provisions. 1 do not
charge that they have done so inten-
tlonally; the facts indicate the con-
trary, but there have been thousands
of violations wholly because it seems
impossible to meet every requirement
all of the time.

DRICE fixing and price boosting,
tending to discriminate against
small enterprises, are current prac-
tices in the steel industry under its
NRA code, the federal trade commits
sion declares in report to the senate.
That there has been price fixing
as well as increases in prices Of steel
products during the period covered
by the inquiry, the commission de-
clares, are conclusions warranted by
ample facts. Under the provisions of
the code and the methods of its appli-
cation prices for any given product
at any point of delivery are uniform.
This is a direct violation of the or
der to desist from the Pittsburgh plus
practice.
The steel code, according to the
trade commission, is devised to lodge
control of the industry with the United
States Steel corporation and other
large producers, to take business away
from little manufacturers, to discrim-
mate against certain fabricators and
producing centers and to discriminate
in favor of powerful customers like
the automobile industry.
At a press conference at the White
House the President indicated that he
was not satisfied with the way the
steel code is operating. There were
signs the Executive might reopen the
code and call for drastic reyisions to
protect consumers and Independent
manufacturers from price fixing and
increased costs.
