STRIKES HINDER U. S. RECOVERY, SAYS WAGNER

Workers Want Their Share, Intend to Get It, He Asserts. Analysis of the labor situation, in an effort to appraise the effect of strikes on the recovery’ program, has been undertaken by Senator Robert F. Wagner, chairman of the National Labor Board, and the results of his survey are published today in the American Magazine. Some of Mr, Wagner s findings follow: "Every depression is followed by strikes. But there have been fewer during the last year than during similar periods in the past. Statistics prove this. "The current epidemic of striKts has occurred because the workers have gone through the harrowing experiences of unemployment. They have suffered terribly. Now they want their share of returning piosperity, and they intend to get it. "No piogram for recovery is helped by laDor disputes —every tie-up means a loss to the industry involved and to the country as a whole. But I don't believe the strikers will halt recovery unless they increase greatly in number and magnitude. Favors Wage Boosts "We may expect strikes to continue unless wages are brought into line with prices, and the provisions of the NRA are obeyed by both employers and employes. "To a large extent overzealous labor leaders are responsible for the strikes. The NIRA has p.accd great power in the hands of the leaders. They are human. Some of them are abusing that power. "Many employers are unwilling to give the workers a fair share of profits. A chief cause for the current strikes is the reluctance of these employers to recognize that under the NRA the workers have the right to get together and bargain for fair wages. "The average full-time worker is not entirely better off than he was eighteen months ago. His money income is one-fourth larger. But prices have risen even faster than wages, and as a result the worker buys slightly less with his earnings. Hours Must Be Reduced "Hours of work will have to be reduced still further. But a thirtyhour week for all industry is inflexible and impractical. Some factories simp'.y could not run under it. The beauty of the code idea is that hours may be fixed in different industries in the way which suits their special conditions. "The number of people now out of work is about 10.000.000. “We oppose those company unions which are dominated by the employer and make collective bragaming a fraud. We also oppose a union whose primary’ purpose is to provide fat jobs ' for professional labor leaders. "We can't end strikes by law unless we want a dictatorship. But the strike is less effective than a lot of labor leaders think. It engenders hatred, suffering and losses which in the long run the workers share. The labor leader of the future will use the strike as a last resort. An unnecessary strike indicates Incompetent labor leadership."
