The high degree of Congression-'
al interest in the labor situation,
reflected in the current hearings
on a proposed minimum hour
and wage law, in the studies of
strike developments, and in nu
merous legislative plans for sta
bilizing labor conditions, is evi
dence that progress is being made
in the effort to improve working
conditions and strike a medium as
to the respective rights of capital
and labor.
Already there are indications
that under the drive for union
ization of all workers and the
plans of employers to meet this
wider organization of all workers
and the plans of employers to
meet this wider organization of
labor, the public generally will,
through the forces of government,
be the arbiter of respective rights.
In other words, employers and
workers, must be and are prepar
ed to adjust their battle tactics to
public sentiment. To put it still
another way, agencies of govern
ment must be prepared to um
pire labor difficulties and see
that the public interest is fully
protected. This is the objective
of all new legislation dealing
with labor problems.
It is interesting to note that
the tremendous strides in labor
organization today are under far
different conditions than those of
seventeen years ago, when trade
union memberships passed the
five million mark. With the out
break of the World War, political
and economic conditions highly
favorable to the growth of organ
ized labor were created. The flow
of European orders into this
country and later the heavy war
purchases by our own government
produced a state of great business
activity/and demand for labor.
The stoppage of immigration and
the withdrawal of man power for
military purposes also helped to
tighten the labor market and
strengthen the bargain power of
labor.
And with industrial peace es
sential to continued production,

the Federal Government encour
aged the extension of trade
unionism and collective bargain
ing.
Conditions for the present drive
for the stronger organization of
labor are, of course, entirely dif
ferent from those of the war
period. Instead of a" shortage of
labor we have a surplus and un
employment is wide. Personal
contacts between. employers and
employees are fewer. The trend
toward larger establishments em
ploying great numbers of workers
continues. For labor, this- means
that workers must place more
dependence upon employe repre
sentatives. In a word, individual
bargaining over terms of employ
ment is being replaced by mass
bargaining.
Increased mechanization is a
contributing factor to maintain
ing factory output with fewer
workers. Small and inefficient
plants are being eliminated and
regional shifts of factories and
scientific management are hav
ing great effect. Thus labor's
powers of adjustment to chang
ing conditions are even more de
manded in the future than in the
past.
Obviously, the part of the gov
ernment in these changes is tre
mendous. Maximum effort is nec
essary to the end that neither
capital nor labor will encroach
on the rights of the public. The
farmer, who is directly affected,
must be protected. Agriculture
occupies a dominant place as a
source of supply for raw mater
ials for factory and food for
workers. And Congressional lead
ers are determined that the rights
of the farmer shall not be over
looked as our .rural population
watches the fight between the or
ganized forces of industry and
the organized forces of labor.
There sue high hopes that Con
gress will, through desirable and
equitable legislation now pend
ing, contribute to a solution of the
problem with due regard for the
rights of all.
