Washington, August 14.—The big worry in Washington while the President is away is the labor situ ation. The abortive attempt at a general strike on the Pacific water front, the shootings in the labor war in Minneapolis, the dozens, nearly a hundred, of smaller strikes in other parts of the country, are being interpreted here as warnings of more serious labor troubles as soon as the weather gets too cool to go fishing in comfort. What the administration is afraid of is that the labor situation will get out of the control of the more in telligent and conservative labor leaders, if it has not already got away from them. With all the grumbling among employers about the American Federation of Labor and its "craft" unions, there are lew who do not prefer that method of labor organization to what is of ten called the "communistic" type of organization, in which all of the workers in any given industry, re gardless of what particular trade they work at, are organized in "one big union." Along Old I. W. W. Lines That type of union was the prin ciple of the old Industrial Workers of the World, which was beginning to stir up a lot of labor trouble in the West just before the world war. The war put a quietus on the activ ities of the I. W. W., but in the threat of a general strike there is seen a revival of that idea of a "ver tical" union and it is frankly not to the liking of the men who are try ing to keep the government machine running -smoothly. Nor do they like the attitude of the American Fed eration of Labor, in leaning toward the vertical union idea, as in its efforts to unionize the automobile industry. There is a lot of discontent among the leaders of organized la bor, too, over what they regard as betrayal by the Administration. The Federation accepted "clause 7a" of the National Industrial Recovery Act as giving it a free license to go into any shop or factory and organ ize the workers into a union under Federation auspices. They have found that is not the case, and some of them are pretty sore. Labor and Its Vote There is talk about the need of putting restraints upon unreason-, able labor groups and their de mands, but Government officials hesitate to take any step which might alienate the labor vote. That is a much larger group, naturally, than the employers, and every worker's vote counts for just as much as that of his boss.

There are revisions of the NRA in process of formulation, and it is regarded as certain that there will be much simplification of codes, less one-man arbitrary power to "crack down" on industries which do not give up readily, and the abandon ment of hundreds of the minor "ser vice" codes like the one under which a New Jersey pants-presser was sent to prison because he pressed a suit for only 35 cents where the code called for a 40-cent price! The effort of the Govern ment to reach into every human activity, in short, is gradually being abandoned. There isn't enough money to hire the necessary police 'men to enforce any such system of close espionage. At the same time, gigantic plans, not yet fully disclosed, are being worked out for submission to the next Congress. They include every thing that can be thought of in the control and development of na tional resources on a scale as wide as the nation itself. Just what is to be done with every acre of land and every drop of water is included in the plan. Part of it is a revision of the underlying scheme of the Agricultural Adjustment Act.

The Tree-Belt Plan The biggest scheme so far def nitely decided on is the tree-belt plan of preventing future droughts in the regions lately practically ruined by lack of moisture. A belt of trees 100 miles wide, stretching north and south from Canada to Texas, is to be set out in strips seven rods wide and a mile apart. The idea is that this will not only serve to precipitate and hold moist ure in the ground but that it will keep the best part of the arid-land farms from being blown into the next state or across the continent. Ten million dollars has been allo cated to start this work. The inflationists are still busy, and cautious observers here look for stronger pressure toward an in flated currency than has been seen yet. But the enthusiasts who thought the new Housing Act was going to put five million workers in the building trades back on the job right away are finding that that just ain't so. James A. Moffett, the able young business man who has been put in charge of this recognizes im possibilities when he sees them and is soft-peddling the enthusiasm over this project. "Some" relief by next year in the building industry is ail he will commit himself to.
