House Labor Bill
 Before Senate

WASHINGTON (R)-The House labor bill, laced with tight check reins on unions and strikes-and backed by more than enou9h votes to override a Presidential veto landed in the Senate today.
 It got a cautious reception there.
 The Senate expects to start de- bate next Wednesday on its. own bill, which lacks many of the union curbS the House voted. Chairman Taft R.-Ohio) of the Senate labor committee hopes to add some on the floor.
 The House passed it's bill late yesterday by lop-sided roll call vote of 308 to l07. A powerful CO., alition of Republicans and south ern Democrats pushed it through, after rejecting all amendments to tone it down.
 In some respects the House bill and the Senate committee measure are alike. For xample, both would:
 Ban the closed shop, which com pels the boss to hire only union members.
 Permit the most common union shop, where a majority of workers vote for it, and-in the case of the House bill-where employers want t. Under union shop agreements, workers must join the union short iy after they are hird.
 Authorize court injunctions to stop or block-"national paralysis strikes, such as coal or telephone strike. The injunctions would stay in effect during compulsory medi- ation.
 Set up new federal mediation agency, independent of the labor department.
 Make unions liable for unfair la bor practices. Employers already are.

Henry FOrds 83 Years


 (Rocky Mountain News)
 IT WAS 83 YEARS from candlelight to candelight for Henry Ford He born 5 years before his friend Tom Edison invented the electric light As he died at his home flood had cut off electricity and heat thus dramatizng the changes of his lifetime and depend upon them.
 Mr. Ford must be listed among the few great mechan- ca geniuses of history may be conjectured that his effect upon the trend of human affairs perhaps the greatest of all time in any field Greater perhaps than that of Napoleon, or Genghis Kahn, or Caesar.
 His record is remarkable in that it did not in- vove as it did in other cases, and conquest
 His efforts directed along peaceful lines. He at tempted he Said to take the heavy burdens from mems shoulders and place them upon machines.
 Henry Ford did not invent the production sys- tenn. Eli Whitney introduced that technique long time before, in the manufacture of army muskets. But Henry Ford developed it a mass scale He's But Henry Ford developed it on a mass scale He frightened mems labors improved their efficiency their wages and their living standards He shortened their hours of work.
 By producing car to fit the average pocketbook he put the nation wheels He the imagination and driving force in creating vast network of hardsur faced roads and our great oil industry.
 As byproduct of his endeavors, he created fortune vast it is beyond imagination Yet he lived frugally. His hobby collections from the past, antiques mindful of the "good old days' which his imagination had helped hasten into limbo.
 Is is good for to accumulate much wealth? Or bad? Money power and believe in this country that too much power in any mans hands is evil Under present regulations it would be impossible to this amount of wealth or anything approaching it.
 It also would be impossible to build the industrial ganization which has been beneficial Our present system though it seems sound and fair in many respects is not favorable to the development of Henry Fords Tax laws and social regulations work against the rug ged individualists" which Henry Ford
 Perhaps this is good Such power he has had in evil hands, could be destructive But should give thought to the circumstance, nonetheless.
 The country which Henry Ford helped transform by means has reached perfection It must grow. New and improved techniques for working and living must be developed The last word has not been spoken on n- dustral technques labor relations, anything else for that matter.
 We must prevent obvious abuses We must outlaw ob- vous exploitation But must leave the open for the play of such genius as was Henry Fords nn1A1oDIrx1 61ENCORCuIp

If one accepts the premise that each such estab-

Industry Wants Protection
Thus the production Of sugar beets is illitted to
certain regions in the West that, with very sub

sugar from tropical areas it has been found
necessary to close the schools at certain times during
the to take advantage of labor that receives sub

1t Is only fair to note, however, that the industries
which chronically plead for protection against i'm
ports not the that pay the highest wages and
yield the largest profits In fact many of the latter
American industries fully
that if American industry is sell abroad the United
States nation must be willing to buy abroad. The
United States Chamber Of Commerce has repeatedly

and industrial machinery.

that the wages of the country-and profits-are high
precisely because Of the superior productivity of the
we-adspted lines. Their real competition is not with
the foreign producers, but with their more efficient
fellow Americans in the market for highly paid Amer

survive they most certainly in need of protec-

American standard of living lower than it would
otherwise be.
The basic question: therefore not whether certain
industries establishments the so-called "margina
or high-cos firms need protection but whether those
establishments sufficiently important to the ma

If we accept as our standard the perpetuation of
every establishment and every business now in exist

seriousness OF the issue becomes evident when it is
