An American
Should
Know
N. L. R. B. Chairman,
Loves Peace and Is Will.
ing to Fight for 1t.
BY DELLA PYNCHON

By DELLA PYNCHON.
NOR better or worse the National
H Labor Relations Board is an in
dependent agency that runs its
own show. J. Warren Madden
Is its soft-spoken chairman.
He Is really more than that both
personally and nationally. A distin-
guished lawyer on leave from the Uni
Versity Of Pittsburgh, Mr.. Madden has
a shy, quiet, sober air that Immediately
quarrels with his pugnacious face. He
obviously loves peace and is willing to
fight for it. He cups his head in his
hand, rubs his eyes frequently as
though to brush away conflict, states
his case clearly and cogently.
In a sense he Is labor's advocate
in the administration of the new
Wagner Labor Act, which states very
simply, among its legal phrases, that
workers shall have the right to form
labor organizations Of their own
choosing for the purposes of COL
lective bargaining. The President
signed the act in July, 1885. This
board worked for two years uncom-
fortably on the horns of a dilemma
OF combined resistance and nom
compliance. They we're all dressed
up with no legal place to go. The
situation changed on April IL. 1887.
when the Supreme Court decided flve
cases upholding the act.
Mr.. Madden had prophesied this
decision in speech, which he deiiv-
cred before the Labor Institute in
Pittsburgh last May.
Many Grievances Settled.
Many grievances have been settled
by the board To date over 5000 out
Of about $500 cases, involving two
and one-half million employees have
been closed satisfactorily Others are
in the throes. OF the 1000 cases in
volving strikes, TIL were settled and
Alb threatened strikes averted.
The major battle lines on COL
lective bargaining form between the
c. 1. o. and A. F. of L. Their pri-
vate scrap has complicated a major
issue. Figures compiled by the board
are significant. For all types OF cleo
tons those Offering a choice between
unions show so per cent for c. I. O.,
| II per cent for independent or plant
unions and IL per cent for A. F. Of L.
Wise Leaders Seen.
These are bare statistical bones
that make for poor human pickings.
Mr.. Madden is fired by the right
which is only recently might. 1t is a
| trulsm, he says, that the employ
er's former legal right to fire his
| employees for union activity made the
| worker helpless and afraid" That
there is a lack of industrial states
manship on both sides" is no wonder
considering that the automobile
union alone is only eight months old.
Time and opportunity will develop
wise leaders on both sides. he feels.
He summed up his philosophy as he
said rather Wistfully: When you
see what an imperfect thing our po-
litical democracy is, we should allow
a little play in the joints Of our new
industrial democracy"
Skimming over Mr.. Madden's bio.

Damascus. ILL.,, in 1890. was educated
at the Universities of Illinois and
Chicago. has practiced law or been q
law professor all his life, with service
on various commissions for industrial

Public Is Goat

Deadlock
War Carried Too Far by
Politics and Power
Producers.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

TUST two years ago the public
utilities and the administration
conferred about plan for peace
between the industry and the
Government The plan was as feasible
then as it is today.
The cost of the delay has run into
hundreds of millions of dollars. The
utilities have shortages in facilities
amounting to about S2,6OO,OOO 900.

be made in both Senate and House.
There will be weeks of debate. There
will be roll calls, presumably, on the
general provisions and on the separate
provisions for each crop.
The broad purpose is to control
crops. To control crops" means, at
this time. to limit crops, to reduce
crops. The object, 1t goes without say
ing. is to make prices high. Certainly
it is TO make prices higher than they
would otherwise be-hardly even the
most dialectic New Dealer would deny
that A secondary object is to have all
farming and all farms and all crops
controlled from Washington.
For limiting crops, there are several
devices. Most of them fall into two
kinds. For some crops, reduction is to
be accomplished by compulsion. A
farmer who raises more than the ad-
ministration says he shall raise is
to be penalized by punitive tax,
amounting to fine, and intended to
be fine.
S0&A hS AAoSS HuNVS"SSSs
If some New Dealers had their way,
the method of enforcing reduction
would be harsher than fines. During
this administration, one compulsory
method of crop reduction included jail
terms for violation Of the regulations.
In the tentative draft of the present
bill, according to newspaper accounts
Of the committee sessions, if a farmer
raises more wheat than the admins
tration fixes as his quota, apparently
he Is to be penali2ed by :. tax Of Is
cents a bushel when he sells it. AS to
rice. the punitive tax is even higher.
The other way of accomplishing
crop reduction is by money, cash. A
farmer is to be paid so much per
buShel, or per other measure for other
crops, provided he raises no more than
the quota the administration assigns to
him.
Both these methods Of reduction,
compulsion and cash, will figure ap-
parently in the bill now being drafted
But it is not possible to write with
exactneSs about the coming crop con-
troll measure In due time We shall
know what it is. Let us turn from the
future to the preSent-from what the
administration wants to do, to some
thing it is actually doing today. This
present detail of crop control is COM
paratively mild, but it is worth atten-
ton.
Potato Diversion.
All that know about it I take from
an official announcement Of the De-
partment Of Agriculture dated Novem-
Der 6. 1t deals with potatoes 1t
says in part:
The Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration announced today a pro-
gram for diversion Of maximum of
100000 bushels of potatoes to live
stock feed. Payments will be made to
potato growers who divert or sell po-
tatoes for diversion to livestock feed.
The payments will be Is cents per
bushel or 25 cents per 100 pounds. -
The potatoes to be fed to live stock are
not culls; they are not small potatoes.
