AN OPEN LETTER
TO MR. COpPERMAN

Mr.. Charles b. Copperman, presi-
dent Imperial Valley Building Trades
Council. Dear Sir:
1t was with great interest we not
iced in the columns of this newspaper
yesterday the full text of letter ad-
dressed to chambers of commerce
throughout Imperial Valley by you, eN-
pressing belief that the time has come
for a greater understanding and closer
cooperation between American Fedora
tion of Labor groups and the business
men of the valley.
In this we believe you have sounded
the theme of spirit that will eventu-
allv solve the Vexing problems that have
troubled American industry = and re-
member that industry includes both en-
ployer and employe - for several years.
Cooperation with employers will remove
from employe groups the stigma of self
ish interest that has attached to them
in recent years. Cooperation with labor
will enable employers to utilize to the
full their ability to produce greater
wealth for the people.
Cooperation is defined in our die
tionary as the act of working jointly
together; concurrence
Cooperation will, we believe, bring
about the better understanding you
wish. 1t will bring the realization that
there is really no argument between en-
ployer and employe; that both seek the
same goal. Cooperation will teach us
all that "the poor working man" is the
fellow who works long and hard, re-
gardless of whether he swings a pick,
drives truck, operates a grocery store
or runs business from his office.
Cooperation means that a group of
laborers will not ask wage increases
totaling a thousand dollars a month
from an employer who is hard pressed
to make a hundred dollars a month for
himself. 1t means, also, that an employ
er will not ask his employees to work
for starvation wages when he himself
makes eXorbitant profits.
Through cooperation labor will
cease to create unemployment by shut
ting down factories and stored, and
through cooperation employers will
cease to lower their own chances of
success by lowering the living and pur-
chasing power of their laborers.
Cooperation should represent the
ideal of American industry. If actual
cooperation is the goal of your organi-
zation in Imperial Valley, we believe
you will find a warm welcome, for we
know of no employers in this territory
opposed to fair wages, fair hours and
fair living standard for everyone.

Wage-HOur Boss
4 RiU0er Job

WASHINGTON-The big job of
administering the Wage-hour act
was given to Elmer F, Andrews, who
was endsorsed by Secretary of Labor
Perkins, only after an almost fran
tic New Deal effort to give the
job to a big business man had been
rebuffed.
Andrews, technically experienced
and well qualified. has been New
York's state industrial commission
er. Washington will be surprised
if he does not take orders from
his former boss, Secretary Perkins,
who is popular with neither indus
trialists nor labor leaders. The
real New Deal choice was Donald
M. Nelson, executive vice president
of Sears Roebuck, who was backed
by everyone concerned except Miss
Perkins, Lessing RosenWald, who
disapproved.
New Deal brain trusters had
been having secret evening con-
ferences with certain big business
men such as Carl Conway Of Con-
tinental Can, Robert Johnson of
Johnson & Johnson, E. r. Stet-
tinius of U. S. Steel, and Nelson
himself. 1t was agreed-and con-
Cured with by certain wise labor
leaders consulted-that a capable
business man should administer
what seemed as popular and as
far-reaching law as any in the
New Deal. 1t would be good
thing for the country and for the
success of the law, especially if
the business man were strong
enough to be independent of Miss
Perkins.
Big, two-fisted Nelson was asked
by Roosevelt to serve. A capable
organizer, experienced in the en-
tire industrial process-manufactur-
ing, raw materials purchase, re-
failing and other phaSes-he had
reputation as the aDleSt business
executive among those who served
as NRA officials.
Nelson agreed to accept, at least
temporarily, Gen. Robert +. Wood,
president of Sears Roebuck, whom
Nelson will succeed in a year or
two, acquiesced. But RosenWald,
an anti-New Dealer who inherit
ed the business and is chairman of
the board, put his foot down. Either
because he dislikcd Roosevelt or
didn't want to spare Nelson. You
hear both stories.
Leon Henderson refused to ac-
cept the post because he wanted
to be co-ordinator of the monop-
oily investigation.

JAPAN CANNOT AFFORD
WAR WITH RUSSIA

The diplomatic stalemate over the
hill in Siberia Cor in Manchukuo, where
ever it is) which has been occupied by
Russian troops in defiance of Japan
ese protests, creates a very embarass-
ing situation for the little islanders.
Japan has made such an issue of the
thing that her national honor, in the
eyes of her own people, is at stake. Yet
she cannot afford to defend it the only
apparent way left - by war.
Russia has caught the Nipponese in
a very neat diplomatic squeeze 1t will
be interesting to see how they wriggle
out.
So costly has been the war with
China, both in men and money, that
Japan has not the resources for a war
with Russia. So costly has it been in
international good will that scarce a
nation would come to Japans help. Rus
sia on the other hand, has been quietly
developing a war machine of immense
power. If there were war, she would
go into it with fresh men and a fresh
treasury.

Bruce Cation Says
Americans Do Not Yearn for War-Like Sp!endor

To a very considerable extent,
President Roosevelt's disarmament
plea, made under the guns of 63
men-of-war in San Francisco Bay,
was overShadoWed by news of the
scorching round-the-w world flight by
Howard Hughes. This was one of
the few occasions on which the
presidential knack for good timing
was defeated by the chance inter-
vention of more spectacular event
But now that Hughes magnifi-
cent flight has in turn been some
what blurred by the daring of
Douglas Corrigan, the California
wild Irishman" who SO casually
hoped over to Ireland in a dila-
pidated, 10-year- old ship of the
Lindbergh vintage, it is worth while
to turn back to the Presidents
words at San Francisco.
He spoke in a strange place and
in strange surroundings for a dis
armament talk. The nasal con-
centration spread out beneath him
in San Francisco Bay was one of
the greatest peace-time naval shows
ever assembled.
Yet, generally speaking, the Unit
ed States paid no heed to this great
demon Str1tiOp of might at sea
When England crowned a king and
the Royal Navy paraded at Spit
head, a world watched and was duly
impressed by the British fleet. Mus
solini entertains Hitler and parades
his submarine and destroyer fleet,
and the publicity is tremendous.
Yet there was little notice of the
mighty U. S. fleet that lay strung
out in the San Francisco roadstead

disarmament.
This comparative public indif-
ference in a country whose every
schoolchild could have told you the
name and commanding officer of
every one of DeWeyS ships 40 years
ago is the best proof that the PreA
ident is making no idle gesthN
when he says that the American
people really wish they could be
spending less on ornaments than
they do. We quite definitely are
not militariStic, and our great fleet
and other armamentS result from
the undoubted fact that we are
faced, as the President said, with
condition-not a theory, and the
condition is not of our choosing
After the World War, when the
United States had, in the water
and under construction, the great
est fleet in the world, and certainly
one of the strongest military ma
chimes, we gave them both up, dis
banding the army, and bob-tailing
the fleet for the sake of disarma-
ment as envisioned at the Wash
ington conference.
Russia, in making its startling
proposal a few years ago of COM
plete disarmament, has made the
most gallant gesture toward dis
armament.
But no other country has actually
given up so much as the United
States, and it is we'll that the Pres
ident keeps this principle in the
forefront of national thought:
what others will do to decrease
the arms burden, the United States
will do, and do gladly"

. By WEBB MILLER -

The dominant principle that guides
British labor in its relations with man.
agement is keep away from the courts .
That is what | was told by one of
the leading authorities of the Brisish
trade union law when | asked him to eX-
plain the essential difference between
labor legislation in Great Britain and
the United States. For professional
reasons he requested that his name not
be used.
The commission which President
Roosevelt has appointed to study indus
trial relations in Great Britain and
Sweden will find wide divergence be-
tween the British and American Sys-
tens, this expert said.
Broadly speaking" he added, trade
union officials in Great Britain would
not accept the American National La
Dor Relations act as a gift. for 1t vlo-
lates one of the deepest instincts of
British labor, which is keep away from
the courts
The essence of the American law is
that a trade union pact with an employ
er is something that in the last resort is
enforceable by a court of law. That
makes a British trade union official
shudder. He wants trade pacts to be
kept flexible and enforceable only by
the willing consent of both parties to
the agreement. Such agreements are
rarely violated, but if they are then the
answer is a strike on one side or a lock-
out on the other side while negotiations
are started or cOnciliation machinery is
brought in.
There is only one union in all of
Britain which toys with the idea of MAX
ing pacts enforceable in the courts. That
is the National Union of General and
Municipal workers which is influenced
by the fact that it is often dealing with
small firms in trades where empowers
are unorganized (in empolyer fedora
tions) and there is considerable break
ing of agreements. But practically all
other trade unions dislike the idea.
There is no general law in Great
Britain compelling an employer to re-
cognize a union. SO far as the law is
concerned he can maintain an open shop,
a closed shop or any kind of a shop The
nearest thing to direct legal compulsion
on an employer is the railways act Of
1921. That act combined all railways
into four great systems and established
the machinery for settling labor dis
putes in the form of board composed
of representatives Of the railroads and
representatives of the three great rail-
way unions-the National Union of Rail
way Men, the Associated Society of
Locomotive Engineers and Firemen and
the Railway Clerks Association.
"Now, here is something interesting.
You might imagine that those three
railway unions would be highly flattered
at being given statutory recognition in
the law of the land. But they are not
really. They did not complain about
it, but they did not relish it, for it was
too rigid. If one of the three unions
should split into two unions because of
internal strain, then it would take an
act of parliament to clean up the mess.
"The British uinon member, in the
back of his head, is aIway conscious of
the fact that what parliament gives,
parliament can take away"
