ing his answer 10 this query,
Philip J. Roosevelt, investment
fund manager, declares:
when an economy Is operat-
ing at capacity and the supply Of
many goods Ii decreasing in the
face of sharply expanding pur-
chasing power, Ii Is only prudent
TO expect rising prices. Price cell
ings and priOrities can retard but
not prohibit such rises except I'm
a completely regimented state.
This country may soon approach
a more nearly regimented state
than we have known before, but
the odds are against the Ameri-
can public submitting sufficiently
to permit an absolute price level
of the German type under condi-
tons OF rapidly expanding pur-
chasing power.

The pressure of events and of
changing social concepts in the
last eight years has enormously
raised the membership of labor
unions.
Federal laws and administra-
ton policy have likewise widened
the area for collective bargain
ing.
Up to now. the trend has been
toward increasing the legal
rights of unions. Little has been
done in a legislative way to
assure that officials live up TO
the growing responsibilities.
Various proposals have come
from the side Of employers for
modifying the Wagner Act. and
for making the unions better ac-
cOuntable for their acts.

Specific Suggestions

In addition, there has also
been need of safeguarding the
legitimate interests of rank and
file union members against
racketeering elements.
From the labor side have come
specific suggestions, which have
been embodied in the Boren-
Disney bill, which has been in
troduced in Congress.
These proposals grow out of
recommendations made at the
recent annual convention of rail-
road yardmasters whose men,
bers have an average of Is years
