BY JOHN c. HENRY.

On the discretion of three men and
the legal judgment of fourth rests a
major portion of responsibility today
for the future tenor of labor relations
In America.
The men are J. Warren Madden,
Edwin S. Smith and Donald Wakefield
Smith comprising the National Labor
Relations Board, and Charles Fahy,
general counsel. In their hands rests
the task of applications of labor
relations acts which has been termed
constitutional in its broad purpose, but
operation of which still is strictly linn
tied to commerce interstate in char
acter
Failure on the part of these men,
first, to determine fairly the jurisdic-
ton Of the law under which they func.
ton and, second, to sit in impartial
Judgment on such parties as are sub
ject to the law, not only would endan-
ger the life of the statute, but would
have the more serious effect of pre-
cipitating new antagonisms and dis
turbances in the field of labor rela-
tions.
Jurisdictional Judgment Upheld.
Those who know the board members
best, however, feel they will not fail,
bolstering this confidence with the fact
that the ju sdictional judgment of the
tribunal already has been upheld by
the Supreme Courts findings that
cases brought before that bar were
truly within the scope of the Federal
agency's powers.
As to their fairness of judgment,
only the future can tell. At the present
time, the board is considered pro-
labor. The members answer, how
ever, is that they are administering
law to protect the rights of labor and
that the true impartiahty of this
administration is discernible in the
policies handed down by the board for
! guidance of their regional Offices On
the basis of these policies, hundreds Of
cases never reach the board itself, but
are settled through field representa-
lives.
Most of such settlements are ar
rived at through determination that
complaints are baseless or through
willingness of employers to remove the
causes of complaint.
All Are Conservative.
AS to personal background, all Of
the four men are essentially conserva-
tive. None has been wage Garner,
a labor leader or union member: !:
none has been a crusader. All but
Edwin S. Smith are lawyers.
Madden, the chairman, is Al and
a native of Damascus, III. Educated
at the University Of Illinois and the
University of Chicago, he has taught
law at University of Oklahoma, Ohio
State, Leland Stanford, Cornell, Chi
cago, West Virginia and Pittsburgh.
For brief period he practiced law
in Illinois.
He holds Craftsmanship of the board
on furlough from the University OF
Pittsburgh. His first brief experience
in labor relations occurred while he
served at that school when former
Gov. Clifford Pinchot named him to
a special commission to study the
practices of private policing in in
dustry. The commission recommended
abolition of the system of enforce
ment of law in steel and coal towns
entirely by corporation police.
Served on Arbitration Board.
Later, he served as chairman OF
a three-man, arbitration board in a
Pittsburgh street car dispute and it
was partly because of his conduct in
this Office that the American Fed

human side Of labor relations when
he took his post, the chairman has
become noticeably more deeply i'm

pionage particularly has incensed

KEEP PRICES LOW,
ECONOMISTS URGE
Three Federal Advisers Make An.
peal in Radio Broad

Three leading Federal economists
Joined in radio address yesterday to
urge America to keep prices down.
They are DR.. Leon Henderson, con-
sulting economist Of the w. P. A.:
Corrington Gill. assistant administra-
tor of the w. P. A., and DR.. Mordecai
Ezekiel, economic adviser to the Sec
retary Of Agriculture.
Labor should recognize in the
threat Of price rises that the painfully
won gain Of collective bargaining will
be cruelty destroyed by increased
prices" DR.. Henderson said He and
the others spoke from Station WJSV
over the Columbia Broadcasting Sys-
tenn.
The public is highly unrealistic
about rising prices" DR.. Henderson
added in defense of the Federal Gov
ernment's position in the current in
f1ationary trend. Many of the alarm
ing increases since last September are
the result of inflated prices produced
by monopolies. They have nothing to
do with unbalanced budgets or any
governmental monetary policies"
The Government must act, DR.. Eze-
kiel said, urging "a drastic change in
Federal fiscal policy, If necessary,
either through current rates of taxa
ton or through heavier taxation and
large spending" AS first step, how
ever, Ezekiel suggested that business
men pool their wisdom to reduce costs
Of production and thus prices.
"A further result of inflation," Gill
said, would be to increase the bur-
den Of relief at the very time that
imitation is weakening the strength
Of the existing relief program. 1
seriously question whether any work
program could stand up under the
impact Of 100000 or 100000 new un-
employed q month such as we wit

would be inescapable."
