Wagner Act Ruling May Help Settle A.F of Rivalry

 The O.. I. o. today is In every thing but name rival labor fed- eration to the A. F. of |. It issues certificates of afiiliation to US mem Der unions that amount to the same thing as A. F. of L. charters, ana formal c. I. O. charters are expected to follow soon.
 Such charters must, of course, de- fine the field claimed by the par ticular union, and then there must necessarily be more conflicts.
 Such inter union pickering has no doubt influenced some workers to take a plague Q both your houses" attitude, as in the case ol the Sun Shipbuilding workers in Chester, Pa, who took vote ana rejected both A. P. of l.. and .. !. o. unions.

 Organized Confusion
 On the other hand, the c. I. O. organizers have already met cor1sid- erable success in New England, where the chief A. F. of l.. effort is an attempt to draw to it the influ- ential Machine Printers Beneficial Association, an independent union of skilled textile printers in Rhode Island.
 Typical conflicts appear in the electrical industries. Here two unions are competing for members, and both are doing it more or less on the industrial basis. The A. F. of L. Brotherhood of Electrical Work CTS IS trying to take over the com pany union" at Westinghouse, and the c. I. O. Electrical and Radio Workers Union is demanding ex- elusive bargaining rights for the whole Westinghouse organization.
 In either case, what becomes of carpenters, teafnsters, Inachinists, truck drivers and other organized A. F. of l.. craft union members in electrical and radio plants?
 Thirty-seven A. F. of L. craft unions would be affected by any such single industrial organization in the electrical industry.
 Meanwhile, the C.. I. O. electrical union launches a drive on the 270,- 900 employees of the great American Telephone and Telegraph Company, hitherto untouched by union organ ization.
 Tn Philadelphia 800 members of the A. F. of L. union at, the Phila- delphia Storage Battery company transferred over bodily to the c. I. o. union, in the face of an A. F. of l.. contract. But in Chicago the A. F.. of L. Machinists' Union signed an exclusive contract with Grunow Radio. Confusion could scarcely be more complete. ht
 Disputes in Court
 Many A. F. of L. unions have fol- lowed successful c. I. O. policies. For instance, the Brotherhood ot Carpenters, traditionally a craft union, and now the A. F. of LIS strongest single body, is now ex- tending its membership back into the lumber camps and forward into the furniture factories seeming to include everyone who handles lum- Der, from tree to finished product.
 It faces internal disSension, eS- pecially in the Northwest, where many of its members are sympa- thetic to the c. I. O., and might desert in a body. d.s ..,.a
 When an A. F. of L. union goes over bodily to Lewis Q. I. O., there is always a row, usually over the unions funds. You can't just walk out of the "A. F. of L. like that" one organizer protested.
 So into the courts go the dis putes which follow. Tn Pittsburgh federal court, the A. F. of l.. is Su- ing tonprevent the New Kensington locak which went over to the 0. I. o., from taking with 1t $27.000 in union funds. s..+s.'s ''i5g',' z
 There are dozens of such disputes over funds. In New York; the Op- erating Engineers, an A. F. of L. afiiliate, went to court to restrain the c. I. o. Mine, Mill and Shelter workers from recruiting building engineers by claiming A. F. of l.. sanction.

Every such battle increases the bitterness between the two labor ore ganizations, and unless more def mite lines are drawn to mark out the field of each, inter-union fights may become more common than employer-employe disputes in the months to come.
 The controversy extends down from William Green, A. L. of l.. leader, and John Lewis, c. I. O.. leader, through central labor bodies in most of the large cities; down through union ranks to picket lines and strike negotiations, even on down to personal relationships be- tween union men.
 Green and Lewis publicly snap at each other on all occasions, and the organizers under the control of each are carrying the feud into every cor ner of the labor movement.
 Lines Tightening
 In the early stages of the Lewis drive, the conflict was little felt. The A. F. of L. union in steel had been bodily taken over by the c. l. O., leaving only scattered A. F. of L. members in the field. In autos and rubber the same thing hap pened. But as Lewis began to go beyond those industries, the conflict became more definitely marked.
 As Lewis goes out to organize 100000 oil industry workers, for instance, the A. F. of L. has an- nounced definitely that it will fight back, and match Lewis dollar for dollar and epithet for epithet.
 Lewis Textile Workers Organiz- ing Committee, ilheriting the for mer A. F. of L. United Textile Work CTS, and backed by other c. I. O. unions in allied trades. goes out for

Roosevelt Swings Back to
 ScOrned Maximum PrOduc-
 tiOn and Low Price Policies
 of Economist and Financial
 Adviser Who Quit New
 Deal Ship in Early Days
 Because of Liberal and In-
 flatiOR Program.
 Washington, April IS The ad- miniStration's increasing concern over high prices and excessive pro- fits must be giving good deal oi quiet satisfaction to Prof. Oliver Mitchell Wentworth Sprague.
 Sprague was the Harvard teach CT who had quite a job as adviser to the Bank of England and became financial and economic advisor ir the Treasury Department very early in the New eDal.
 Roosevelt then became charmed by the recovery theories of Pro- lessor Warren, James H. Rand and the monetary inflatl0nists. By the end of 1883 Spraguc had quit with a roar of protest. Ray MOley, Hugh Johnson and other New Dealers of that day scoffed at him.
 The fruition of Sprague's prophecies of doom has been somewhat delayed. The breakdown of government credit and unre- strained imitation which he feared have not arrived. But Roosevelt, who was so strongly bent on rais-
 ing prices three years ago, is now
 worried by fear that high prices
 may bring another crash.
 He now has come to believe ir maximum production at low prices And 1t is interesting to recall some of the things which Sprague, who once taught economics to Roosevelt at Harvard, was saying and writing in December, 1883.
 Might Cause Crash
 Fallacious, insisted Sprague, was the view of young liberals" ir Washington, who believed recovery could come through quais-monopol- ies and increasing prices. This view might cause the country to crash on the rocks of shrunken markets due to higher prices. Sprague fav- ored low prices to stimulate markets production and employment, urging business men to adopt this policy even though it meant sacrifices and temporary lack of profits.
 Business, said Sprague, should make a relative reduction in prices of those goods and services for which larger potential de- mand can be anticipated if rela- tive prices are reduced"
 And, in view of Roosevelt's promise to cut down government expenditures flowing into durable goods as means of disc0uraging price imitation, it seems interest ing to remember that Sprague said:
 ''If the primary direction of la Dor and capital is to be'found in the production of durable goods, such as housing, then a government pol icy of public works that increases the. cost of that sort of goods works against recovery. Recovery should be based on low production and transportation costs"
 "The fundamental question that presents itself in examining trade recovery policies, whether they be those of business men or the gov ernment," Sprague wrote, lis this: Do they tend t oopen up and in- crease demand for those products for which, we may reasonably pre- sume, large potential demand ex- ists that can be made actual by relatively lower prices-lower prices, I may add, made possible by im- proved methods and larger volume and not by unreasonably low rates in wages"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-04-15
Heads for Other Goal

Doubtless there will be those to say that Sprague was wrong then and that it was imperative to raise prices at once. But those were the days when Roosevelt was first com pairing the New Deal to 8 football team ytrying out attacks. And per- haps there will be those to suggest that it's a very flexible game when the quarterback can suddenly turn his team around and start carrying the ball in the opposite direction. It is pleasant to be able to re- port, however, that players on the local team come nearer unanimity in supporting the present Roose- welt trend of thought than they ever did before.
 All through the MIRA days busi-
 ness men were coming here to ar-
 range price fixing and price ing agreements to the end that even the most inefficient pro-
 wucers might be allowed to profit
 while the most efficient cleaned up in big way. Then there were
 economists under General John
 son who kept insisting the best road to recovery was in unrestrict-
 cd production, free competition
 and low prices.
 Roosevelt seems to be coming around to that viewpoint. At least according to insiders, he is con- vinced that excessive profits mean concentration of wealth, drying ur of markets and purchasing power and resultant depression.
 The President, 1t is understood has secretly ordered a survey oi way san dmeans to encourage mass production at lower prices. This corelates with his study of method; by which prices can be kept from rising to a point of disastrous in- f1ation.

paying the city's share of the all- nual old age tax levied against 1t. However, all those eligible for such taxation had not received their bills prior to March l, the last date for filing the tax and local officials requested that no penalty tax be imposed until after April 1, by which time 1t is believed that the taxes in Waterbury will be paid.
 Penalty Prescribed
 Had the state failed to grant this permission and the city failed to make returns to the state in the full amount the law prescribes under Section 763C, Cumulative Supple lnent 1885, that "The State Treas tlrer shall issue an execution, return able in 60 days, against the estate of its selectmen or chief executive authority as the case may be for the sum due, directed to the sher- If of the county in which such town Is situated. .."
 Tn other words Sheriff J. Edward Slavin would have been obliged to serve notice on Mayor Hayes that he was obligated to the State for the amount that the City of Waterbury owed on its old age tax bill. That will not be necessary now that the due date has been extended.
 In Hartford the possibility of this statute being invoked arises from the fact that Mayor Spellacy in- tends to deduct from his city's old age taxes as much money as the city would get from the state as its share of the state school grants. Connec- ticut Is holding up Hartford'S school grant due to the fact that an ap- pointment in the Hartford schools Is under question and certification by the State Board of Education has been refused. Until this matter Is strengthened out the State Board will not sanction the enumeration grant. '''
 And Mayor spellacy Is quoted as being equally determined to with hold from the state sum equiva. lent to what 1t should receive in school grants. He was quoted this week as stating, we are ready and willing to abide by whatever man. date the courts of Connecticut hand down. What we resent is the sub- stitution of men for laws. If they want to hold me personally resporls- ible I am willing to accept the re- sponsibilty. I care more for the reputation of the City of Hartford than do for any depletion of my estate. ."
 The amount Hartford expected to receive in school grants is between $72O00 and $73,000, ordinarily due by March 3l. Should payment not be made the city will deduct this amount from what 1t pays the state in old age assistance taxes.
