Murphy's statement was issued
from the capitol after the executive
board Of the United Automobile

sion called to combat an unauthorized
sit-down strike in General Motors

Obviously referring to the Pontiac
situation, Murphy declared that it was
the duty of governments mot to per-

in its hands and stop production be-
cause of local grievances that can be
settled by negotiation.
"The proper way to settle griev-

Of law by taking possession of a shop
or factory" he said. "That is not col
lective bargaining
"The proper way and American way
is the way Of friendly conference and
negotiation in a spirit of reason and

The Brookwood Experiment

(From the New York Herald Tribune)
The permanent closing of Brook
wood Labor College, Katonah, West
chester county, is the end of a long,
persistent and interesting attempt on
the part Of union labor, notably the
garment trades, to train potential un-
ion leaders. The money is simply not
Forthcoming to support the institution
longer The failure of the school, how
ever, apparently is the result of many
factors.
In the first place, it always seemed
rather incongruous that such an in
stitution should be set down in the
midst of the Westchester countryside
-ffty-three acres of beautiful, lush
and costly property. 1t costs money
to maintain such an establishment, es-
pecially since little income could be
expected from tuition.
Many supporters of the school found
it hard to understand why it should
cost more to maintain a student at
Brookwood than in his home in Chrys-
tie street, but it did. Another impor-
tant consideration lay in the pulling
and hauling of the factions; the ex-
pertinent fell between the three stools
of communism, socialism and regular
trade unionism Viewing the history
of the school now, it seems remarkable
that it did not fall earlier.

ed Wilkie what was the proper valua-
tion of that property for the purpose
of fixing rates.
Wilkie replied that the right figure
was the $250,000. The president, in
giving this news to the press confer
ence, was careful to add that Mr..
Wilkie spoke for himself, not for his
fellow magnates.
Generalization means overcharges
in rates. Frank R. McNinch, former
chairman OF the federal power com
mission and now trying to straighten
out the tangles Of the communications
body, was present at the interview and
the press conference, and said that
the FTC had found more than $1,500,-
000,000 generalization in the utility
properties examined.
Utility Lying Exposed
The conference attempted, with
what the president said was consider
able success, to lay the basis for a
S1,500,0 100000 building program by
the utility industry. 1t was in line
with other current efforts by the gov
ernment to promote a big residential
and business building program.
The report Of the New York Power
authority, sent to President Roose-
welt and by him transmitted to con-
gress, deals extensively with the
ground and lofty lying of utility prop
aganda. The FTC showed this some
years ago; the power authority sought
to prove that the same wholesale lying
is going on today. Going into more
directly practical matters, the report
indicates that the three great govern
ment dams Boulder, Grand Coulee
and Bonneville will save consumers
minimum of $50,000,000 a year in
charges; and that the ST. Lawrence
project will add at least $10000,000
to the saving.
The interest of labor IN cheap elee-
tricity is too clear to need demonstrat-
ing.
Hits Gambling Element
Chairman DOUGLAS, Of the SEC, con-
tended in his warning to Wall street
that the insiders on the Exchange
mark stocks up and down, largely III
their own sweet will and with dam
gerous and disastrous consequences
to the country at large He shows
the part which those insiders took in
hammering down stocks in the last
few months and how they bought
back their stocks when the BOTTOM had
been reached And he said:
In market in which there is such
an enormous public interest, ii which
not only 100000 small traders but
10000, 600 investors have a stake, it is
essential that no element Of the cast
no be allowed to intrude, and that all
such clements be obliterated.'
