AS Foes Target
BY fhe Assoeiofed Press

Richard L. Boke, Sacramento,
Calf, regional director of the Rec
lamation Bureau, said today repeal
of the acreage limitation and power
provisions of the reclamation law Is
the purpose behind charges of bu-
reau inefiiciency.
Mr.. Boke told the House subcom-
mittee on publicity and propaganda
that the same cast of characters
appearing against the bureau in the
current investigation also have ap-
peared in behalf of efforts to
change the limitation and the re-
quirement that public agencies be
given preference in the purchase of
public power.
Mr.. Boke named Senator Downey
Democrat, of California and Edison
Abel and Ray Wiser of the Cali
fornia Farm Bureau Federation.
Their purpose here is the same,
he said
This is the fourth major act OF
the great drama of Congressional
policies regarding power and the
160-acre limitation as they apply
to the Central Valley of California. -
Straus Attacks Qualification.
Reclamation law prohibits the de-
livery of water to more than 100
acres in a single ownership, or 800
acres for a man and wife.
Meanwhile, Michael w. Straus,
reclamation commissioner, issued a
statement saying that restrictions
in the Interior Department appro-
priation bill which would force the
dismissal of himself and Mr.. Boke
are illegal.
The s422, 900 900 money bill, ex-
pected to go before the Senate in
the next few days. provides. that
after next January the commits
sioner and regional directors be en-
gineers with five years experience.
The Senate version-worked out
Saturday in committees a mod
ification of the bill passed by the
House, which would require 10 years
experience and be effective July !.
Oppose Acreage Limitation.
Mr.. Straus said also that the
real reason" for the requirements
Is that certain groups led by Sena.
tor Downey do not like the acre.
age limitation and power policy re-
ouirements of the reclamation laws. u
They have failed to change
these laws by constitutional legisla-
tive means" he said. Now they
seek to attain their ends by al IL
legal action to oust the manage
ment that has supported these
laws"
Senators Hayden, Democrat, of
Arizona, and O'Mahoney, Democrat,
OF wyoming declared in subcom-
rittec minority report that the
qualifications provision is solely for
the purpose of inflicting punish
ment" on and to fire Mr.. Straus and
Mr.. Boke. They ask that the re-
quirements be removed as uncon-
stitutional.

been well demonstrated" the letter
added. Also you are the perfect
type for some parts I have in mind. -
Mr.. Hughes wrote that he ex-
pected Congress to give him a medal
IF I get you off the floor long
enough SO that they can devote
their time to the problems and
legislation pending before them" :
In a postscript, he enjoined you
better take this job because one of
these days the people in Maine are
going to get wise to you"
Senator Brewster defended his
airplane travel record in his Satur-
day speech. Mr.. Hughes had charged
previously that he accepted favors
from Pan-American Always. The
Senator said he and Mrs. Brewster
had flown $4,000 miles in Pan Amer
ican planes but that he had paid
for most OF the flights personally.

keep up with the rising cost of liv
ing.
Taft -Hartley's requirement o.
special elections before a union ma!
negotiate a union shop contract is
branded wasteful. 1t is clear, the
minority recognizes, that huge
majority Of organized labor de
mands union security. This is but
one example of Taft Hartley pro
visions which have clogged NLRE
machinery.
The minority is caustic in its
criticism of the return to injunction
law which the Taft Hartley Act has
led to. 1t notes that there are situa-
tions in which the secondary boy
colt is an entirely legitimate union
weapon.
Commenting upon the general at
titude of the majority and its com
mittee staff, the minority says
"The role of the union is obtain
ing improved working conditions
and higher pay is mentioned only
in passing. The problems encount-
cred by unions in dealing with man
agement are treated briefly as COM
pared to the problems facing man
agement. No substantial effort has
been made to develop the special
problems of labor or the position
of organized labor and wage earn
er i'm our modern industrial econ
omy. The report has all the ear
marks of studies in scientific man
agement."
In contrast to this management
approach, the minority itself sug-
gests that America return to the
philosophy of the Wagner Act. 1--WE
are convinced that the path to har-
mony between management and Ia
Dor and to high production is free
collective bargaining. A free collec-
tive bargaining system requires
that labor be able to obtain a fair
share of industries profits in or
der to maintain a decent and ade-
quate standard of living for the
American family.
"The original Wagner Act sought
to give that equality in bargaining
power and that opportunity for a
fair share in the proceeds of its in
dustry. The Taft Hartley Act would
upset that equality"

That it will have exactly the op-
posite results from the sort of tax

Bookbinder showed that the $780,

has been increased from $1,000 to

year worker has but an extra $1.50
to spend each week.
"This is not prosperity. 1t is not a
boom for millions of people, but a
full employment depression" the
economist said.
Organized labor is increasingly
conscious of the fact that it must
take an active part in drafting
plans to control the economy if de-
preston is to be permanently
averted. Bookbinder cited the role
of the AFL and CIO in behalf of
the Employment Act of 1916.
