Wagner Act Defective
Merely Puts Union Agent and Employer in Cockpit.
Mediation Board Has No Power

port to deal With mediation, and the
board 1t sets up, the National Labor
Relations Board, does not pretend to
be a judicial body. The Wagner law
is law for the benefit OF labor, and
the body 1t sets up, the National Labor
Relations Board, is an agency Of labor.
So far as the Wagner law affects en-
ployers, it has the nature Of a penal
statute directed against them. And
50 far as the National Labor Rela-
tons Board has a relation to employ
ers, the relation Is that OF . prosecut-
ing attorney. This Is the frank in
tention Of the Wagner law. The law
is written frankly for the benefit Of
labor, frankly for the purpose Of guar
anteeing the right of collective bar
gaining.
The Wagner law makes 1t IAN un-
fair labor practice" for An employer
ito refuse to bargain collectively with
the representatives OF his employees"
But that is as far as the Wagner law
goes. The employer is not required to
come to an agreement with his en-
ployes. Lately, attempt has been
made to say that the Wagner law does
require the employer to come to an
agreement and sign it. This has been
repudiated by the author Of the law,
Senator Wagner. In letter written
November 2. 1885, Senator Wagner
said: THE law does not require any
employer to sign any agreement OF
any kind" Senator Wagner added:
Congress has no power to impose such
= requirement" And Senator Wag-
ner might have gone farther. He
might have said that common sense
has no power to compel any two per-
sons or groups to come to an agree
ment about anything.
What the Wagner law does is to
throw the employer and the repre-
sentative Of the union into a cockpit
and tell them to negotiate" About
what happens when the two do not
reach agreement, the Wagner law
says nothing. There is no provision
for appeal to arbitrators. There is no
provision for arbitration, compulsory
or otherwise.
1t Is the lack OF provision for arbi-
tration that has led to the present sit
uation. And the present appointment
Of an improvised Federal Steel Media
ton Board is an attempt to correct
the fundamental defect Of the Wagner
law. The improvised board has no
power to compel assent to its findings.
Whatever comes of the present ges-
ture. the fundamental defect OF the
Wagner law remains. 1t Is universally
recognized that the Wagner law must
be perfected by making provision for
arbitration. and in other respects.

" VILLAIN r. CASTLE, JR,
M and William Hard, the new
v " Republican pep team, rally
party leadership to help
along that Democratic revolt"
That's just what it is, says Mr.. Castle,
and in his opinion the jefferson Is
land harmony conference won't help
any in restoring the Presidents one
man power"
Mr.. Castle, acting chairman OF the
National Committee, became a sort Of
line coach fer the Republicans last
February, and liaison between party
headquarters and the few G. o. P.
men now encysted in the Democratic
Congress. Aided by Mr.. Hard, pint
sized word-gunner, and one of the best
IN the business, he has been entering
vigorous dissent from any and all
Democratic doings and making the
organization look lot less moribund
than 1t did few weeks ago.
1t frequently has been noted that
the administration has been afflicted
with the academic itch, and the
present party detection has been
charged to too much professorial
meddling and muddling-the school,
men displaying an elaborate ignorance
OF the rules and personnel of oldline
politics. Maybe so. but, when the
Republicans wanted to hike their
steam pressure, they put on the job
former English teacher, novelist and
assistant dean OF Harvard, and
clever journalist who, in his "a work
ing years, never mixed in politics until
last year. Such are the rough out
lines of Mr.. Castle and Mr.. Hard.
Where are the Tom Platts, the Uncle
Joe Cannons, the Tom Taggarts and
the Lemuel Quiggs Of yesteryear?
They, and not the professors, used to
take charge at time like this.
Mr.. Castle, an intimate friend Of
Herbert Hoover, was Undersecretary
OF State under Secretary Stimson,
leaving the department in 1882 He
is a conservative Of precise, legalistic
pattern Of mind, marked success in
his l3 years in the State Department,
adroit and skilled in diplomatic punc-
tilio.
He was born in Honolulu, the son
OF an island magnate, was graduated
from Harvard in 1900. taught English
from 1903 to 1905. published a novel,
The Green Vase" in 1912, The Pill
lar Of Sand" in 1916, was with the
Red Cross in the war and in the State
Department in 1919. He says the
chief trouble with the Democrats Is
that they have ruined the country
and wrecked our democratic system.

returns for earned as distinguished
from unearned incomes, but 1t Is in
f1nitesimal.
Then take the situation with respect
to charity deductions. A man
might contribute money to a church
in Hindustan or to some local well
fare agency OF limited scope and yet
get legal deduction, but if he con-
tributes the same amount OF money
to vital thing like the National
Civil Service Reform League, which
attempts to fight the "spoils" system
and similar cancers in the heart of
democracy, no such deductions are
allowed.
Makes Own Rules.
The executive branch of the Gov
ernmc..t arbitrarily decides what is
and what is not an educational cause
and makes its own rules as to what
is or what is not deductible in
charitable or educational classifica-
tion.
But the records are filled with ex-
amples Of injustice and arbitrariness.
Most Of the mistakes are due to
the failure Of Congress to write fair
tax laws. The income tax personnel
itself Is honest and we'll mentioned,
but limited by tax statutes. There
is hardly thing which will be un-
covered in the series of tax avoid
ances to be disclosed in the present
inquiry which haven't been known to
congressional committees for the last
10 years. Congress has known all
along the loopholes, but it has ignored
something far more fundamental
the principle Of equity and fairness
which, if abused, merely leads to tax
avoidance on large scale and ulti-
mately to notification.
Human beings resent unfair laws
they always have and they always will
and they may not some day regard
it as q falling from virtue to defy an
unconsciounable administration, espe-
cially one that spends its money and
Its powers on one group to the detri-
ment OF the other, and actually denies
the taxpaying group a voice in the
government. The old slogan that
taxation without representation Is
tyranny" was never better illustrated
than in the deaf ears being turned to
the small business men who are asked
to pay burdensome and inequitable
taxes today as the monopolistically
inclined, with amassed surpluses,
stand by awaiting the inevitable bank
ruptcies or receivership Of their weaker
competitors.
