will be a sharp conflict between
organized labor and the manage

Act, by its terms, gives all em
ployees of any industry the right
to organize and to bargain col
lectively through representatives
of their own choosing. This may
mean that the employees may or
ganize a “company union or
join an outside union affiliated
with the Federation of Labor.
Employers are forbidden to com

BEACH KELLER, Manager
Many of the industrial leaders
! have tried to write provisions in-
i to their codes declaring their
' right to maintain an open shop,
j regardless of the union
ations of their employees. Gen-
[eral Johnson has refused to per
mit the words “open shop” to ap-
j pear in any code. His Labor Ad-
! visory Board has gone farther
'thr“. r.n.1 la.sists that only
j by jjU.l.'.s r-a'.ioual ,;!iio;;o can
the rights of employees to. col-
'lective bargaining be safeguaid-
ed.
Mention of Labor Parly
There have been several strikes
already in different
arising from conditions under the
codes that have been adopted.
That there will be many more,
and perhaps serious strikes, is
rc-gari!c(l as more than probable.
There is a very strong element
.among the group of
live officials here which is
frankly in favor of the buildine
up of a “Labor Party,” composed
of unionized workers and their
sympathizers, and who are try
ing to utilize the present situ
ation to make workers class-con
scious, as they are in Europe.
Sooner or later the President
will he compelled to Intervene
personally in this situation. In
approving the automobile code,
which provides that “employers
in this Industry may exercise
their right to select, retain or ad
vance employees on the basis of
individual merit, without regard
to their membership or non
membership in any organlza-
affili-
aligned himself with the open
shop element.
One of the hitches in the gen
eral application of the Recovery
Code is the inability of many
small employers, who have been
barely getting by without bank
ruptcy during the period of de
pression, to carry the added load
st expense which the application
of the code imposes upon them,
when their business has not pick
ed up to a point of profit. Gen
industries ieral Johnson’s demand upon the
banks to he more liberal _wlth
credit has had no effect except
to cause considerable resentment
among bankers,^ who ask how
they can lend their depositors’
money to business men who are
administra- i "ot yet sure they can repay the
loans.
Will Credif Bring Inflation?
Methods of providing funds to
business directly by the Recon
struction Finance Corporation
are under consideration, to carry
good business men over until
enough people are hack at work
at good wages to create the add
ed buying power which is the
main purpose of the recovery
program.
That the financing of industry
under tlie XRA will make some
sort of currency inflation abso
lutely necessary is the growing
opinion of observers here. Busi
ness cannot run without profits.
Profits cannot he earned without
higher prices, especially when
costs have been increased by hir
ing more workers and raising
j wages. The public cannot pay
higher prices with dollars at
their present high value. There
fore the only way out is to
cheapen the dollar at home, as it
has already been cheapened
abroad. Thus the inflationists.
Politicians ami Economists
The organization of the Ad
ministration is beginning to sep
arate into district layers. The
I two principal strata are the prac-
, tical politicians and the economic
theorists. Each is again subdivld-
i ed into groups and cliques which
have their own ideas of how
■ things ought to be done and are
gradually getting themselves or-
i ganized to put their ideas over.
There is going to be plenty of
inside politics played here in the
next three years. Each group is
trying to line up Senators and
I Congressmen to help put its
I particular program over when
Congress meets again.
Some of the theorist* bavp
found the game of politics not at
nil to their liking and have pull
ed hut of it. file most notable of
these is Professor Raymond Mo-
ley, reputed to be closer in the
President’s confidence than any
one else except Col. Louis Mc
Henry Howe. Mr. Moley, as as-
jlsistant Secretary of State, found
nothing to do that he liked to
do. He was ;Tent” to the Attor
ney General to make a study of
hlB spfeCialty, which is the con
trol and extermination of crime.
But as long ago as last May he
was looking for a Way hut. He
has found it and is td be editor
of a weekly perfhtllcal called
"Today’’ which will be financed
by the President’s friend, Vln-
icent Astor, W. Averlll Harrlmap.
