On the Other Hand
Why NLRB May Find Wisdom of
Taft.Hartley Act Open to Doubt

the board can view that prospect
with pleasure. .,
The union hiring halls, firmly
established in recent years, may not
be ideal employment agencies from
the standpoint of the employers.
They virtually compel the employ
ment of union members and so in
crease the workers bargaining
power. The workers, or their union
officials, may not always use this
power with due consideration of
the employers problems. But they
have proved over the years one of
the best implements available to
seamen in their struggle to reach
the status of free and self Prospect
ing labor.
Old Conditions Forgotten.
1t is easy to forget now the con-
ditions under which seamen worked
and lived only short time ago.
Now sean1en receive wages compa-
rable to those in other industries:
now they live like other people:
many are able to own their own
homes and raise nice families.
The hell-holes in which they once
slept aboard ship-the romantic TO-
castles-have been replaced on
American ships by decent quarters.
In port they need not hang about
cheap bars and sailors boarding
houses waiting to be hired or shang-
hated; telephone call from head
quarters tells them when a job is
to be had. And they carry the full
protection of their American citi-
zenship with them wherever they
sail.
But this has been true only q
short time. There are men still in
Congress who can remember the
patient, persistent Andrew Furuseth
as he lobbied unwearyingly for legal
recognition of the seamens human
rights, denied down the centuries,
but finally achieved in the La Fol-
lette Act Of 1915. The hiring halls
are one of the means by which
those rights are protected. In the
interest of everybody concerned
they should not be destroyed unless
and until a satisfactory substitute
is provided.

W tlluiSalS lile'b
not all of the five find wisdom in
the law as written.
If so, it is understandable. The
Taft Hartley Act is reWrite of the
Wagner Act, under which the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board was
established. The prime purpose of
the original act was to protect
labor in it's right of collective bar
gaining. The prime purpose Of the
rewrite was to strengthen the hand
of the employers and weaken the
hand OF the employees in the bar
gaining process. To this end the
act was made to outlaw the closed
shop, Notwithstanding that the
closed shop has been accepted in
many industries as far back as any
body now living can remember.
Could Bring Trouble.
Some members Of the board could
question the wisdom of the act on
that ground alone. They could
question it for another and i'm
mediately practical reason. Even as
they were making their decision in
the case before them, one involving
Great Lakes shipping, IS steamship
companies in the Atlantic and Gulf
trade were reaching contract
agreement with the seamen's unions.
And this agreement includes reten-
ton of the union hiring halls, I'M
less the courts follow the ruling of
NLRB and hold them illegal. If
this happens the employers natu-
rally will wish to abrogate that part
of their contracts, lest they as we'll
as the unions be held in violation
of the law.
Then there will be trouble, no
doubt, on the high seas and the
water fronts. Shipping tie-ups dis
astrous to American commerce and
to the European Recovery Program
may be anticipated. No member of

This Changing World >
New Currency in China Seen Unlikely
To Solve Roaring Initiation Problem

the establishment. in some part of
Northern China, Of a So-called
liberal government, with Commu-
nists participating along with mid
dle-of -the-road elements from out
side the Kuomintang. More recently
evidence has come to hand Of a
growing detection within the ranks
of the Kuomintang itself. and the
organization of any new government
in China is likely to include these
as well as other political groups.
On the face of it such a govern
ment would appear to possess all
the elements of stability. 1t would
be a cross-section, indeed, of the
great mass of Chinese people and
its advent would be accompanied
by all of the promotion that the
anti-Chiang elements could organ
iZe.
The great underlying fact, how
ever, is that such government
would be only temporary in it's ex-
istence. 1t would soon run into the
very same conflict which Gen.
Chang has been engaged in. That
is the struggle to prevent the Com
munist elements in the government
from taking over absolutely.
At Mercy of Reds.
Any successor regime to the Chi
ang administration will be virtually
at the mercy of the Communists
if it accepts those people into its
membership and will find Com
munist participation no panacea for
the financial ills which are troubling
the present regime. The only way
that communism anywhere has
been able to stabilize its finances
is by absolute fiat, absolute control
Of prices, wages and every aspect
Of the national economy. Such
absolute control has been lacking
IN China. Democratic freedoms
have continued to exist in many
parts of the economy. Nor will the
Communists, or any administration
which includes them, be able to en-
force its DEGREES with the universal
effectiveness which is necessary for
economic sterilization by decree.
Far better for China would be
assistance which would enable her
to make the present currency reform
function effectively. II the gold
yuan could be made freely convert
ible with the American dollar, if it
commanded the respect and con-
f1dence Of the Chinese people,
China's finances could, in time, be
Strengthened out, and the dangerous
experiment of admitting Commu-
nists to a share in power could be
avoided, perhaps permanently.
But on her own responsibility, and
with no foreign assistance, China
will not be able to win any greater
acceptance of the new currency
than was enjoyed by the old. She
will simply have struck several
ciphers off the denominations of her
currency and the ascent into Moth
ingness will go on as before.

be backed by 100 per cent reserves
But subsequently it was revealed
that these so-called reserves
would be 40 per cent gold. silver and
foreign exchange. The go per cent
balance would be guarantees" OF
the Chinese government.
Just what those guarantees" con-
sist of is highly uncertain, for the
Chang regime-thanks to American
Observation-Disclosures on founda-
lions which daily are becoming
weaker. Just how the Kuomintang
regime will guarantee" the new
currency 1t is issuing-and thus pre-
vent the ascension of the gold yuan
into the upper shakespeare Of flnan-
cial reckoning-is difficult to deter
mine.
In Nature of Last Stand.
The one source of help which
could make certain the success of
this new venture in sterilization is
the United States. Some funds
were made available for China's use
as sort of pacif1er in connection
with the appropriation of Marshall
Plan funds, but they amounted to
nothing substantial enough to sup
port a currency conversion in China.
What further assistance could be
rendered by the United States, short
of a large-scale appropriation by
the Congress, is problematical, par
ticularly since the feeling appears
to be prevalent that pouring more
money into China as long as the
Chang regime exists is like pouring
money down a rat hole.
The currency sterilization effort
may be in the nature of last stand
against the internal troubles which
are eating at the Chang regime
If the Chang regime succumbs to
these ills 1t will mean surrender
in part at first, completely in the
last analysis-to the destructive
forces which have been struggling
for control In China for many years
