LABOR SEENF|RM
FOR CAPITALISM
Demand for Better Living
Keeps Pace With Gains,
Miss Perkins Says.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Presss
Secretary Perkins expressed the
belief today that American labor
wants to preserve the capitalistic sys-
tenn in industry.
Labor's demands for q better living
have increased with the development
of stronger unions and the country's
school system, she declared in an in
terview on the eve Of the Labor DE-
partment's twenty-fifth anniversary.
Spokesmen for labor, industry and
Government will join tonight in words
of commentator for the department
and its record over a quarter of a
century at its birthday observance, to
be held at the Mayfower Hotel More
than 1000 guests. including Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt. are expected
to attend.
But American labor is not revo-
lutionary," Secretary Perkins stated
yestarday. TT stands for the ideals of
American democracy. asking no special
favors, having no desire for the de-
struction of capital, but wishing rather
to build up and share in the prosperity
of industry"
Talks of Department Activities.
Miss Perkins talked Of her depart
ment's activities as she sat at her
larger -than-ordinary desk, piled high
with correspondence.

costs the Government not less than
100000 per year to prosecute one
sharply contested antitrust suit
These suits run sometimes several
years. This year the appropriation
for the antitrust division has been
boosted 100000.
A tremendous difficulty today is to
prove conspiracy, which is necessary
under the antitrust laws. Similarity
in prices charged by the various units
of an industry are not arrived at to-
day by any such crude method as
gathering around table Prices are
published. free for all to read. and
the various units in an industry
govern themselves accordingly.
Bids Found Identical.
The Government has had plenty
of experience in trying to get COM
petitive bids. These bids are sealed.
When they are opened in many cases,
they are found to be identical The
Denver Office of the Bureau of Recla-
nation received last year II bids for
reinforced bars. Fourteen were iden-
teal down to the last cent. The Navy
Department opened So bids for steel
pipe. Each of these companies bid
$l6,00l83 Forty companies bid for
a cement contract and each bid pre-
cisely $l7l48.60 Yet it would be
very difficult, and probably impos-
sible for the Government to prove
a conspiracy or that any agreement
had been entered into by these COM
petitors.'
Manufacturers. knowing the prices
charged generally, could cut under. if
they wished. the bids submitted by
others to the Government. But if
they do. then they are pounded upon
by the private purchasers of their
goods. who say: If you can sell to
the Government for lower price, you
can sell to us for a lower price, too. "
Immediately the whole price structure
is upset.
Monopoly Huge Problem.

monopoly. of which rigid prices are
part. has become a huge and domi-
mating problem which is giving more
and more concern 1t Is not for the
purpose of postponing action that the
administration will ask a thorough
study, but for the purpose of dealing
with the question adequately.
Recently the Senate and House
passed bill amending the Federal
Trade Commission Act. Under the
original act the commission had to
prove not only that a business practice
was unfair but that it was unfair in
competition. The new bill does not
insist that the commission must prove
competition, but that it may merely
prove that business practice is un-
fair in order to act against it. This
is an example Of "piecemeal" legisla-
ton attacking monopolistic practices.

PHILADELPHIA. March 3.-Court-

vessel at the time of the blast.
Six civilian workers and an en-
listed man were killed when a steam
line exploded as it was being installed
in the ship under the supervision Of

Monopoly
Continued From First Page.)

administration and Congress will be
in position to formulate a program.
The monopoly problem has been
made more and more complex by the
vast changes in the industrial set-up
in this country and by the many opin-
ions handed down by the courts IN
antitrust suits. There is no longer
possible sharp edge determining
violations of the principle back of the
antitrust laws or of the laws them
selves.
In some industries the price struc-
lures are rigid, as in the case of steel,
aluminium and cement. In others
there Is the greatest amount Of COM
petition-for example. in the auto
mobile industry, where prices fluctu-
ate. But for very large part of in
dustry competition, as 1t used to be
known and to preserve which the
antitrust laws were written. has
| ceased to exist. The question is largely
whether it is desirable to tear down
great units of industry and business
in order to restore the smaller units
whether it is to the interests of the
public generally.
General Statute Difficult.
With part of the industry in COM
petitive state and another and per-
haps larger part with no competition
in the old meaning of that term. 1t
becomes more difficult to write a gen.
eral statute governing competition and
monopoly. The whole situation is af-
fected not only by the changed busi-
ness structure but also by the patent
laws. by the tariff laws. by the rulings
of the Federal Trade Commission. by
| the decisions Of the courts, by the
rulings of the S. E. c.. the I. c. c..
and other governmental agencies.
What the administration feels Is
necessary is delicate and effective
surgical operation when it comes to
revamping the laws dealing with mo-
nopoly-an operation that will neither
tear down nor kill the patient. which
is American industry and business.
There is a school of thought on the
subject of monopoly which believes
that bigness is reprehensible. This
school of thought deplores the wiping
out of the small banker. small factory
and the corner grocery store. Those
who oppose the desire to destroy in
dustrial and business units because Of
size alone point out that the very size
of the concerns manufacturing auto
mobiles have made it possible for the
people of America to have better and
cheaper cars.
Must Provide Funds.
Congress has been reminded again
and again by the officials of the De-
partment Of Justice that it is idle to
make laws without providing for the
sinews of war to enforce them-that
means money. The Government only
recently won a sultan antitrust
suit-against oil companies in a Wis
consin court. That suit cost the Fed
eral Government s278000 to prosecute.
The Attorney General in a speech in
New York last November called atten-
ton to the fact that it is impossible
with the limited personnel of the anti
trust division to give attention to every
complaint or to prosecute all the cases
that ought to be brought to the at
tention Of the courts. Roughly

Hospitals

'SOilbiAutu F1TSG rage
$50 tuberculosis beds at Freedmen's
Hospital.
In addition the report urged as an
emergency measure reopening and use
OF the old Upshur street tuberculosis
Hospital which has 200 beds. for
tuberculosis patients. DR.. Parran said
this building was considered adequate
and suitable for this purpose.
Provision of the $50 beds for general
patients would require construction
OF new building at Gallinger. which
has been recommended by the Health
Department for several years. It is
considered necessary to relieve serious
overcrowding in the present medical
surgical building. Construction of a
new unit for the recommended $50
tuberculosis beds at Gallinger would
MAKE 1t possible to abandon use of
several old and unsuitable buildings
now pressed into service for the pur-
pose.
DR.. Parran said tuberculosis was
considered by the Public Health Serv-
ice as one OF the outstanding and
most serious health problems in the
District. He said the additional beds
called for in the program would give
the District total of approximately
TWO beds per annual death here from
tuberculosis. This is considered
minimum standard, he said.
More PersonneI Needed
The report stressed also the nec-
essity for providing sufficient addi-
tional personnel, living quarters serv-
Ice facilities and supplies. for opera
ton Of the new hospital units.
The report urged provision OF
trained full-time directors for the
following activities: Cancer control,
dental hygiene. laboratories, mental
hygiene, sanitary inspection. tubercu-
losis clinic, venereal disease control and
vital statistics.
It also called for assistant directors
for maternity hygiene, infant and
child hygiene and crippled children's
program: an assistant nutritionist and
additional medical social workers.
Dr.. Parran paid a high tribute to
Health Oficer Rutland for the prog
ress he has been able to make during
his three years of service for the Dis
trict, but he added that Dr. Ruhland
has been struggling against "a genera
ton Of neglect" with the health prob
lem.
DR.. Parran, while outlining the
proposed six-year plan, said he be-
lieved its adoption woul1 set high
standard, neither theoretical nor un-
obtainable
The standards aimed at by the rec
concentrations In, the program, DR..
Parran explained, are now in effect in
