BY JOSEPH A. WISE

Chicago (ILNS)-W What has become
of Gen. Robert e. Wood, president
of Sears, Roebuck & Co. That is the
burning question in Chicago as this is
being written. Perhaps the brave ex-
quartermaster general and his lost
battalion of anti-union big business
men will be found before this query
can be printed in the American labor
press.
Wood left Chicago for Washington
couple of weeks ago amid a great
blowing of trumpets and beating Of
drums. He was going to the national
capital to take charge of the spending
Of the $4,800,0 100000 work relief ap-
preparation, it was Dragged.
Expectations ran high among the
ex-general's union busting cronies.
They envisioned President Roosevelt
meeting the mail order-chain store
mogul at the Washington depot with
a brass band and hearty welcome
to our fair city
Anticipated Fat Pickings
The mouths Of the ex-army mer-
chandisers pals drooled and they mas
saged their hands in greedy anticipa-
ton Of the prospective big hunks of
cake he could cut for them after he
took charge of Uncle Sans larder.
The latest available information,
following announcement that Frank
C. Walker, Harlod L. Ickes and Harry
T.. Hopkins are to be the big shots
in the distribution of the huge fund,
is vague and indefinite reference to
Wood as possible member of some
sort of advisory board composed Of
representatives of various interests.
Advisory bodies usually are set up
to placate and sidetrack men who may
make trouble. Wood, however, is the
sort of man who will crash the gate
if he can but get toehold inside
He is a gate crashes in Chicago who

From the beginning of NRA. labor
discovered that Section IA was Of
little or no protection whenever en-
ployers were opposed to the right
of their employees to trade union or
ganization, or the workers were IN
sufficiently organized to cempel en-
ployers to recognize their right to
organize.
Definite Action Required
The position in which American
labor now finds itself requires definite
decision and action by congress, for
class distinctions are being created.
Congress must declare that the wage
.earners' right to self-orga is
in every way equal to and as neces-
sary as the same right 50 widely ap-
piled by employers with governmental
approval.
Our experience during the last two
years has made it imperative that
LABOR INSISTS ........... !. .........
labor's right to organize, to apply
the principle Of majority representa-
ton, to collective action and collee-
tive bargaining, must be definitely
declared by congress instead Of be-
ing left as it has been to the con-
struction, interpretations and eva
sions which we have experienced un-
der the administration Of NRA.
There are other legislative meas
ures now before congress Of far
reaching Importance to labor, but Of
transcending Importance to labor's
rights and to national recovery is the
Wagner labor disputes bill.
Makes IA Effective
"This measure is intended to give
to labor the effective use of its right
to organization. The provisions of
this bill are intended to restate La
bor's bill Of rights and to make them
effective as applied under modern
conditions Of industry. 1t is not de-
signed to meet the present national
emergency only; it is intended for all
time.
Because of the vital Importance to
national recovery, Of equality Of
rights and Of opportunities among
wage earners, as well as among em-
ployers and other citizens, labor's rep
resentatives in national conference as
sembled, call upon the congress of the
United States to enact the Wagner
labor disputes bill so that validity
and effectiveness may be given to
Section IA NRA.
Should congress fail to enact this
legislative measure, it will be an evi-
dence that labor was mislead by con-
gress when Section IA was originally
enacted and that labor's right to trade
