THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE REMAINS
REACTIONARY

The u. S. Chamber of Commerce at it's recent
session in the Nations Capital was presented with
an unusual opportunity to make an approach to
frendliness for organized labor and thereby set
in motion the machinery to soften the bitterness
that characterizes industrial relations in many
parts of country. But what the New York
Times calls Business in Convention" utterly fail
ed to grasp it's opportunity.
The Executive Council of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, in session in Washington during
the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, in a
statement setting forth the "basic aims and OBJ
jectives of the Federation upheld private init
ative, private ownership, private property and a
fair profit for those who own and operate our sys-
TEN of production and distribution.
Declaring that the working people must be
accorded the right to organize and bargain col
lectivey" the Executive Council pointed out that
Labor and capital can cooperate, develop effcien-
cy and production through labor organizations de-
veloped by the workers and through the organza-
tion of industry as developed by industrial man.
agement,' adding:
'Through the development of team work be-
tween industry and labor, many economic wrongs
can be righted, many of ihdustrys legislative bur
dens can be remeded, and the maximum of service
which industry and labor may render can be given
the entire nation"
With this statement of fundamentals as a
basis the Executive Council invited industry to
discard the weapons of industrial warfare y
urged the Substitution of cooperation and under
standing for industrial strife" and pledged labors
support for peace and progress in industry
But the Chamber of Commerce adopted an
ambiguous resolution saying that management
and labor should work together without recourse
to the Federal Government" on certain things of
common concern" Another resolution opposed
any Federal wage and hour legislation, and to eli
max its record the Chamber in a third resolution
advocated the repeal of the National Labor Re
lations Act, which, even though it is being badly
administered, guarantees by law the right Of the
workers to bargain collectively through repre-

DEMOCRATIC REGULATION OF MARKETING
I.r AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS

The democratic procedure applied in Federal
regulations for marketing farm products is re-
vealed in the announcement of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture that the Administration had
dropped the proposed marketing agreement pro-
gram for onion sets produced in the lower Lake
Michigan area.
The agreement submitted to the AAA by
representatives of the growers and shippers of
onion sets in the area involved-Illinois Indiana
and Wisconsin. The program called for the es-
tablishment of committee of growers and ship
pers through which shipments of onion sets would
be regulated by grades and sizes. 1t also provided
for compilation and distribution of marketing in
formation to growers and shippers and the elm-
nation of the practice of selling onion sets with
a guarantee against price decline.
In the case of the onion sets marketing pro-
gram, the Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
tion held public hearing on the proposal and then
sent it to onion sets growers and shippers for their
signatures But, to use the language of the AAA
announcement "The support for the program as
determined by grower votes and shippers sig
natures to the agreement not sufficient to per-
nit making it effective under the provisions of
the Marketing Act of 1887" Consequently the
plan for the proposed agreement was dropped.

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

Aubrey Williams, Deputy Admins
traitor of the Works Progress Admin
istration, gave in recent speech an
explanation of the present recession
which ought to be pasted in the hat of
every worker, farmer and neighbor-
hood merchant.
"The hand of monopoly is still upon
our society. More and more, in large
and strategic areas there is concentra-
tion of control which, though far re-
moved from the sight of the general
population, continues to dominate
markets and men. More than 25 per
cent, by value, of products as they
are exchanged at wholesale were
higher in price in April of this year
than they were year before, in spite
of the devastating drop in business.
"Back of most of these controlled
prices is a concentration of ownership
and direction which permits the man
ayers of industry TO DECIDE IN
FAVOR OF PRICE MAINTENANCE
AS AGAINST GIVING EMPLOY
| MENT.
"The steel industry has maintained
its prices, though production has fall
en- to 25 per cent of capacity, and the
payrolls of it's workers have fallen SIS
per cent since last year. q. 1t is the
same old problem of wealth against
commonwealth"
The autocratic powers of the world
Fascist, Nazi and Imperial, are giving
the world an eruption of savagery.
japanese planes have killed about
5000 Chinese civilians in Canton; and
the japanese government answers
world protests by saying that it will
keep up this bombing with increased
energy. France has of late done lit
tie with his planes on the fighting
fronts in Spain; but has been bombing
with great vigor cities far behind the
lines; and nearly all his aviators are
Germans and Italians.
Hitler is not actually at war-ex-
cept in Spain. But the Jewish sui
cides which his devilments have caused
in Austria are many; more than so
Austrian laborers have been sent to
concentration camps in Germany; and
Sigmund Freud had to be "ransomed"
as if he had fallen into the hands of
old time brigands.
This is just plain savagery. 1t is
the kind of Culture" that old time
missionaries reported from the Apa-
ches and the FIJI Islanders.

Persons returning from Spain have

defeated months ago.
Recent events prove that these OBJ
