layed and civilian goods are kept
from our markets by strikes or
lock-outs brings injury to our re-
conversion program. Already mil
lions of dollars in wages have been
lost to workers. Laboring men and
women are using up their savings.
1t is for these reasons that I urg-
ed the Congress to pass this degis-
lation without delay. This legisla-
ton is still in the committee on
labor in the House of Representa-
tives and in the Commute on Ed
ucation and Labor in the Senate.
am sure, from all the sources
of information which am able to
use, that the American people
agree with the necessity for some
fact-finding legislation along the
lines recommended. The time has
come for every citizen of the Unit
ed States to make his opinion
known to his representative in the
Congress. Once that is done, you
may be sure that results will fol-
low. -:
I was a member of the Congress
for ten years, and am familiar with
groups of all kinds representing
special interests. Some are right;
and some are wrong But there are
those who, when they decide to
make themselves felt, are the most
powerful pressure group in the
world. I mean the American peo-
ple-the great mass of our citizens
who have no special interests,
whose interests are only the inter-
ests of the nation as whole. The
only difficulty is that the great
public body Of American citizens
who are not organized find it diff
cult to make themselves heard.
I hope that the members of the
Congress will talk to their con-
stituents while they are at home
on vacation, and that Immediately
upon their return they will really
do something substantial about
strikes along the lines have sug-
gested instead of merely talking
about them.
I have indicated my opposition,
and I repeat it now, to the anti
labor bills pending in the Congress

I requested. Since we already
know that war-born shortages Of
certain materials Will surely
plague us after June thirtieth q
this year. when the extended law
will expire, the law should be ex-
tended again now. If this is done,
all businessmen will know that
short materials will continue to be
fairly controlled and distributed.
Unless we do this now, controls
will begin to break down in a short
time.

IHcooling- off period. I further
recommended that the power of
subpoena be given to the fact-find-
ing board so that it could get all
the pertinent facts.
In the setting up of fact-finding
boards, there is nothing harmful
to labor. There is no reason why
a strike cannot be postponed for
thirty days. Nor is there any in
tention of taking away labor S
right to strike. That right remains
inviolate. There is no effort to
shackle labor.
On the other hand there is no.
thing harmful to management in
this proposal No detailed informa-
ton obtained from the books of
any company is to be revealed.
1t is nothing new to have the gov
eminent get accurate information
from a corporation. 1t is done now
by many Federal agencies-by the
Bureau of Internal Revenue-by the
Securities and Exchange Commits
sion-by the Wage and Hour divi-
sion of the Department of Labor
BY the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and by many others.
Without legislation, fact-finding
boards cannot function as efficient
ly as they can under a statute.
For example, shortly after I made
my recommendation to the Con-
gress, I appointed fact-finding
board in the dispute between Gen
eral Motors corporation and the
United Automobile Workers. I
though the matter too urgent to
wait upon the passage of legisla-
ton. You have seen how the Gen
eral Motors Corporation has refus-
ed to cooperate with this fact-find-
ing board. There is no way that it
can be compelled to cooperate I'm
less statute is passed giving the
board the power of subpoena. That
is what is now up to the Congress.

which seek to deprive labor of the
right to bargain collectively, or
which seek to deprive a. union of
its ultimate right to strike. That
is why I am SO anxious to have
on our books an effective statute
which will have none of the evil
effects of some of the legislation
now pending.
OF equal Importance with the
settlement of management-labor
disputes during this reconversion
period is the question of keeping
prices on an even keel. Here too
there are pressure groups at work
in the Congress and outside the
Congress. Constantly pushing, lob
bying, arguing to take off price
controls and let prices 60 up with
out interference.
We cannot keep purchasing pow
er high or business prosperous if
prices go out of hand. There is
no use talking about the expanded
production upon which steady Jobs
depend, unless we keep prices at
levels which the vast majority of
the people can afford to pay.
Today the pressures for initiation
are many times stronger than
those which caused the initiation
after World War I and which caus.

serious than 1920. That is why it

Production is the greatest weapon
against initiation.
Until enough goods can be made
to- supply the demand, the power
of the government must be used
to keep prices down-or initiation
will soon be at hand.

He traced the petroleum industry

reported the Christmas that year
passed off quietly in Smyrna with
no untoward moment to mar the
pleasure of the day. Smyrna stores
were kept busy Christmas Eve un-
til near midnight. Despite the in

uaI Christmas eve crowds and
Smyrna stores generally reported
an excellent trade. The day was
heralded by midnight services at
st. Peters p. E. Church in charge
of Rev. Thomas Getz Hill, the rec
tor. Christmas falling on Sunday
gave all the churches an opportun-
ity for elaborate services and it is
doubtful whether the decorations
or music has ever been excelled.
Aside from the churches, it was a
day for home gathering and many
beautiful Christmas trees gave the
home cheer while turkey dinners
brought about happy family gath
erings. Monday all the stores and
business places were closed and the
holiday extended. The day was
cool, bright and beautiful. At noon
the "Sylvester's Concert Band of
Smyrna" came out in full uniform
and gave a concert at 1.-THE -Four

their pictures taken by John S.
