WHAT THE STRIKES HAVE COST

It Is interesting to know the es-
innate of what the rule or ruin pol
icy of such business wrecking strike
advocates as John L. Lewis and
other labor leaders have cost the
United States.
Ernest T. Weir, chairman Of Ma
tional Steel Corporation, told bust
ness leaders ON Thursday that strik-
es cost this country around five bill
lion dollars, or between $3.50 to $175
per family in 1887.
He called 1t 1.-The worst and most
costly period Of labor turmoil in our
history"
Speaking before the annual con-
yention of the National association
of Manufacturers, he declared capt.
tai and labor not only must" get
along, but "can" get along together
and asserted the Government atti-
tude "in the present situation" was
lone of the biggest stumbling blocks
to q rational get-together."
Weir, with DR.. Leo Wolman, Co
lumbia University labor authority
and Charles w. Fahy, general coun
sci of the National Labor Relations
Board, was one Of the principa
sneakers at the associations tina
sessions Of its three-day convention
Asserting that "a critical business
recession has set in," Weir pleaded
for cooperation between labor ant
capital.
Amendment of the National Labo
Relations Act was one of the mean
by which cooperation could be Sc
cured, Weir declared.
"If corporations" he said, "are t.
be expected to deal with labo
unions, then the unions should b.
required to make themselves as re
sponsible as the corporations.
"They should be prohibited from
contributing to political campaign
as are corporations. 1t should b.
illegal for them to call strike with
out first taking vote Of employees il
the plant involved. Strike violenc
should be outlawed.
"The Interpretation of the Law
should not be left to administrativ
agencies; it should be included II
the regular business of our courts
Government should realize that 1t
primary obligation is to protect tn
right Of the worker to work.
Weir objected to the term "collec
tive bargaining" which he said con
noted in most minds "horse-trading,
in which one group tried to take ad
vantage of the other, with "some
body usually hurt or aggrieved." H
suggested substitution of the tern
collective cooperation"
Walter ]. Kohler, chairman of tn
Kohler Co. and former Governor O
Wisconsin, charged that many o
the strikes this year came from out
side and represented a NATIONWIDE
struggle for concentrated power il
which the freedom of will of tn
workers involved was completed
disregarded."
Companies whose employment
policies, wage scales and workin
conditions were as fine as any Il
the world" and which had willing
ly accorded the right Of collectiv
bargaining" were among those at
tackled, he said. "Notoriously illagal
methods were adopted, he asserted
''yet enforcement Of the law wa
frequently interfered with by vic
lence and political influence"
