romarks were interrupted by
snoradic but spirited exchanges be-

and its proponents. In one OF these,
senator Taft (R-Ohio) charged that
President Roosevelt was deliberate

TO pass the bill.
He referred to newspaper articles
sewing that the administration was

sent to Great Britain as soon as the
bill becomes law Contending that
the President already has power to

tional disputes with which the pub
lie at large has so little patience
Want Voice in Program
AS the defense effort intensifies
and the war atmosphere becomes
more pronounced, there will be
greater pressure by organized la
bor for definite and specific
representation in the directing
councils. The labor department
post of Secretary Perkins remains
target, a target as much for the
AFL now as it was for MIR. Lewis
and the CIO following the 1886 elec-
ton. If labor were not divided as
1t is now, the choice of an actual
labor representative might be
made. The question is, can a COM
petent nominee be discovered that
will be acceptable to all labor fac
tions.
Friction between the government
and organized labor may come on
several other points during 1941.
The antitrust division under Thur
man Arnold is watching carefully
for bottlenecAs in the labor sup
ply and the record suggests that
"crack-down'' efforts will not be
avoided if it is evident that the
squeeze is the result of union poll
cies. The administration as a whole
will throw its weight against too
rapid wage increases. Such wage
boosts might easily touch off an
unwanted inflationary spiral of
price jumps and play hob with the
defense budget. 4
