Thursday, November 16, 1933 This In Washing Washington, Nov. 14.—As the farm wife says at preserving time, the President's program is begin ning to "Jell." A lot of the froth, in the shape of wild doctrines and loose talk, has been skimmed off and what was fluid and formless two or three weeks ago is beginning to assume shape and something re- sembling solidity. What the mass needed was pectin. Anyone who doesn't know what pec tin is had better talk to some house wife who has tried to make jelly without it. And the pectin in this Instance, the precipitant that started things to settling down, came from two sources outside the Administra tion circles. One was Henry Ford and one was Gerard Swope. Ford, as everyone knows, refused to sign the Blue Eagle code. He also refused to join the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, which is the trade association set up for the automotive industries under the Recovery Act. General Johnson threatened and fumed. He expressed the idea the public would "crack-down" on Henry, for what seemed to him something like trea son. He even swapped his official Lincoln car for a Cadillac, because Ford owns the Lincoln company. He tried to get a Ford dealer's bid for ♦trucks rejected by the Army, even though it was the lowest bid. It looked like hard sledding for Henry to hear the General tell it. The Showdown Then, all of a sudden, it turned out that Henry Ford had been right and General Johnson wrong, all the time. Henry hasn't signed the Blue Eagle agreement, but the high legal officials of the administration are agreed that he doesn't have to if he doesn't want to nor does anyone else have to. It is a purely volun tary agreement. Neither does it have to join the Trade Association of his industry. That, again, is a matter of choice. All Henry has to do, it turns out, is to pay wages as high as the minimum set forth in the code, work as short hours as the code calls for, and let his employees bargain with him collec tively. It has been acceded from the start that Henry was okay on hours and wages, but the Federation of Labor thought they had him on the collec tive bargaining proposition. Hadn't 'there been strikes at his Edgewater plant and elsewhere? Weren't a lot of Ford men out? Where did col lective bargaining come in? \ The Labor Administration investi gated and gave Henry a clean bill of health. There never, had been any objection raised to Ford em ployees acting as a unit iJi a de mand for different working condi tions. They had demanded and Ford had refused. He had made an offer and they had refused it. And Senator Wagoner spokesman for Labor, had to admit that there was nothing in the law to compel any employer to agree to the collec tive demands of his workers, any more than the workers could be compelled to accept any proposal they didn'tv like, from the employer. Labor Also Learns That, in effect, was a swat in the eye for the Federation of Labor leaders who have been proclaiming from the rooftops that the Recovery Act is their meat. They were going right out and organize everybody into unions. For that matter, noth ing is stopping them except the fact that in the manufacturing industries most of the big companies have beaten them to it and have encour aged company unions, which are functioning without the aid of the Federation. The Ford episode and its outcome have gone a long way to dispel some the genuine fears of industrial and business leaders. It is clear now that nobody has to sign any of his rights away or disclose trade secrets to his business rivals, so long as he adheres to the funda mental provisions of the Recovery Act. And it is clear that business is not going to be turned over in a block to the Federation of Labor, which is what more business men feared than any other one thing, ex cept, perhaps the fear of Federal snoopers prying around their •> shop ,-aHd telling them how to run their business. And there is where Gerard Swope came in. Mr. Swope is President of the General Elelctric Company. He has been serving as an unpaid ad visor on General Johnson's staff at Washington. After sitting in on M&aqy code conferences, Mr. Swope evolvfed a program for taking the administration of the Recovery Act oat of the hands of the Government, just as soon as possible after the major Industries had got organized, and setting up a board composed of the representatives of business and industry to do the police work and see to it that everybody behaved. He Plan Develops That has mei with the widest approval ip business circles, and, to the surprise of a good many General Johnßon had approved the idea. The administrator of the NRA Is, after all, a business man and not a poli tician or a bureaucrat. A good many politicians don't like the no- 'tlon of letting all the good Jobs ! involved in code administration and ! supervision get away from them, 1 but the signs point that way now. Business and industry are chirking j up. The really f>ig business men of ' the nation see a lot of good—hive seen it from the beginning—in the idea of organizing business. It is what many of them have been try ing to do for a long time, but Gov ernment wouldn't let them. Now Government is not only letting them but doing it for them, and their fear that Government was going to tako them over is vanishing. Big men in the oil industry say that the new oil code is the best thing that has ever happened to the industry. Everybody except a few recalcitrants agree that what the coal Industry has needed for years is organization. That goes for all of the other "resource" industries, such as lumber, fisheries, mining of all kinds. Salem Fork News Miss Thursie Snow, of Mt. Airy, was visiting home-folks Sunday. Misses Shore and Martin, who are teaching in Dobson, were calling on their pupils in this community the latter part of last week.
