NEW YORK, Aug. 28.-Looking
back over eight years as Secretary
Of Labor, Frances Perkins blames
the split between the American
Federation OF Labor and the Con-
gress Of Industrial Organizations for
the failure of collective bargaining
to settle more disputes without
strikes.
Writing in the September issue OF
Fortune Magazine. the Nations first
woman cabinet officer describes the
A. r. L.-C. I. o. schism as largely
an internal fight for control and
declares that "a reunion could be
made tomorrow without ugly scars OF
hatred and rancor between the wage
earners in each group"
"I have been called incompetent
land worse because I have not pre-
vented strikes" Miss Perkins writes.
land I am aware that there is a
theory that If I were a two-flsted
male I should be able to stop strikes" :"
Getting Tough Held No Solution.
"The accusation that I am a
woman is incontrovertible. AS for
being two-fisted, I'm sure that 1t Is
unrealistic and lacking in human
knowledge to believe that getting
tough or cracking down on working
people would make things better.
There have been tWo-fiSted males in
this Office and strikes were never
prevented, because no Secretary OF
Labor has ever had the authority or
the power directly to stop strikes,
and it Is doubtful if any clear think
ing citizen would be willing to give
to an agency Of Government the abb
solute right and power to interfere
with other citizens"
"The only power have" she de-
clares, "is to act as labor's spokes-
man in the Government"
She says that collective bargain
ing, carried on with mutual respon-
sibility and intention to conclude
. bargain, is constructive process,
and labor's efforts to organize are
not disorder.
Association brings obligations and
standards and mutual rights" she
adds, "as much to carpenters and
automobile workers as to doctors
and lawyers and manufacturers.
Labor Split Blamed.
"If it were not for the division in
the labor movement itself, which
often results in one faction or the
other calling a strike simply to pre-
vent an election it is afraid of losing,
believe that collective bargaining
by this time would have made
greater headway in establishing
orderly methods of settling disputes
without strikes in organized indus
tries.
THE A. F. L.-C I. o. split was
largely an internal fight for control,
in which the idea of vertical unions
was only minor issue. At all times
I have txled to bring the two fac
tions together, always appointing
representatives of both groups to
committees 4snd advisory boards.
