board. Let your men express their
choice under those public auspices
from which no question can arise.
Let's get this troublesome question
settled and for all time"
Had the general stopped there,
there would have been less complaint
heard from industry. But he went
on:
II want to tell you this for your
comfort. know your problems. I
would rather deal with Bill Green,
John Lewis, Ed McGrady, Mike Mac
Donough, George Berry and a host
of others could name than with any
Frankenstein that you may build up
under the guise Of q company union.
In fact-take 1t from me and wealth

Resented BY Leaders.
Green and Lewis are the heads OF
the American Federation Of Labor.
The charge that the only alternative
to organized labor under the A. F. OF
l.. Is a company union Influenced by
employers Is deeply resented by the
business men who came here. The
figures gathered by the National In
dustrial Conference Board In survey
OF plants covering more than 2,585,0 600
workers showed that employe repre-
sentation was more popular among
manufacturing and mining industries
especially than outside unions. The
tabulation showed As per cent for en-
ploye representation or company
unions as against 10 per cent for Or
ganized labor of the A. F. Of L. type.
The balance favored individual nego-
tiation.
The defenders Of the company
union idea insist that the workmen
be given an opportunity for secret
ball0ting and that the workers be
free from the coercion or intimidation
or threats Of union organizers. Most
of the strikes in the last several
months have been direct result OF
the collective bargaining clause. Gen.
OOIlIlSou spccSh WILL PiobdoAS AAt0i
sify the economic conflict, for while
he comedies that the law permits a
company union, he has publicly placed
the stamp of disapproval on it.
Spirit of Disappointment.
Coming as this does from the head
Of the N. R. A.. who asked business
men to gather here to try to solve
economic problems in a broadgauged
way, the spirit of most Of the dele
gates to the conference was one OF
disappointment. Coupled with the
demand for shorter hours and in
creased pay roll expense in industries
which, 1t is claimed, cannot stand the
extra costs there were not few lead
ers who were predicting the same
kind Of slump in the Spring that fol-
lowed the July and August drives Of
the N. r. A.
The sum total Of the weeks meet
ings Was a breakdown atmosphere,
plenty of threats, championing of or
ganized labor, and plenty Of uncer.
tainty and bewildern1ent for the in
dustrial executives who are supposed
under this barrage Of adversely to put
their shoulders to the wheel neverthe-
less and make the N. r. A. great
success. It's a peculiar way to win
cooperation.

introduce by next week bills embody-
ing the Presidents ideas. Hearings.
possibly of protracted length, would
then be necessary.
The administration intention to
demand a complete reorganization OF
the air mail companies which held
now cancelled contracts became in
creasingly plain.
Post Office officials indicated many
prominent aviation executives would
have to be dropped before their COM
panies would be given new contracts
under the Presidents plan.
Included in the indicated list were
those airline officials who attended
the nov famous 1890 conference at the
Post Office Department here. from
which arose administration charges
that fraud and collusion entered into
the contract making
Senate Committee testimony shows
these men were among those who at
tended the conference. presided over
by William P. MacCracken, former
assistant secretary of commerce for
air, who is now under bond pending
an appeal on charges of contempt of
the Senate.

Western Air Express; Col L. H Brit

Doe, Eastern Air Transport; L. W.
Robbins and George Ham, Pittsburgh

In addition. these lines will be re-
quired to divorce themselves of af-
flliates and holding companies and
mterlocking directorates. AS one Post
Office official said:
If they want to bid they must come
In as new independent line"
Some 13 companies lost their con-
tracts which we're held on 26 routes
or portions of routes. In the last fiscal
year they were paid sl9.40O264.
There appears to be no rush to take
the airnail away from the Army
Post Once officials said that in any
event 1t would take two months or so
to obtain private bids. The Army
made plans to carry on until June or
longer.

NEXT WEEK SEEN
CRUCIAL FOR N.R.A.
Speaker Rainey Sees Fed
eraI Pay and Veteran
Benefits Coming Up.

''Next week is a crucial test for
the Presidents recovery program, so
far as the House is concerned and
probably in the Senate also," Speaker
Rainey said today.
He pointed out that Monday is dis
charge day, when the bonus legisla-
ton comes UP and that Tuesday will
probably see the independent offices
appropriation bill. with $354.0O0, 900
in Senate amendments for Federal
pay and veteran benefits thrashed
out in the House.
Face Roosevelt Veto.
Both Of these measures, II passed
by the House, face a presidential
veto" the Speaker emphasized.
Should these measures be passed
over the Presidents Veto which is
unthinkable.' the Speaker continued,
1T will ruin the recovery program
absolutely destroy it.
The Republicans must face this
issue as we'll as the Democrats" the
Speaker stressed, "since their con-
stituents are equally interested in
noting employment. 1t is not
party issue, but one Of patriotism and
now is no time to play politics" the
Speaker concluded.
Bonus strategists are counting upon
proposed amendment to the Patman
50 800 100000 "greenback- bonus" bill
to make certain passage of the meas
ure when it is called up in the House
Monday.
Would Authorize Imitation.
The amendment sponsored by Rep
resentative Hancock. Democrat, Of
North Carolina. would authorize the
President to use powers given him in
the Thomas imitation amendment in
paying the bonus.
Under the Patman bill the Treasury
would be required to issue enough
new greenbacks to redeem outstanding
adjusted compensation certificates
Under the Hancock amendment, the
President could accept the alternative
of issuing United States notes which
would be retired at the rate Of per
cent year.
The Patman bill contains no pro-
vision as to retirement of the new
currency. and bonus advocates argued.
too. that since Congress already had
adopted the Thomas amendment it
could not object very strenuously to
legislation requiring its use. Repre-
sentative Patman. Democrat. of Texas
the bills author, has accepted the
amendment.
