i Government-Business Accord Recommended by Tom Girdler

Too Much Threatening in Washington, He Tells Raymond Clapper in Interview.

By RAYMOND CLAPPER Times Special Writer LEVELAND. Feb. 4 —I spent nearly an hour with Tom Girdler in his Republic Steel office here and he didn't call President Roosevelt or anybody rough names. This most belligerent of industrialists, as has been the case with numerous business leaders with whom I have talked in the last fow days, was quite rational and calm in his discussion of the

situation at Washington, @

“We need,” Mr. Girdlér said, “to return to active co-operation between Government and business. I believe business is willing to give its co-operation. I believe business, both big ahd little business, and particularly big business, is eager to co-operate with the Ade ministration. “Let people quit panning business and let it work. We don't object to regulation and we are obeying the Wagner act in my company. The main trouble is that there is too much talking and threatening. No two spokesmen in Washington are saying the same thing.” » ” ” S I go around I hear secondhand about how bitter feeling is toward Roosevelt among the higher-income groups. Yet in talking with top executives and people of responsibility, I haven't on this trip encountered anyone who takss what I would consider an unreasonable attitude toward the Administration. I have been surprised at the mildness of their reaction and the moderateness of their complaints. Large &mployers who have had labor trouble feel extremely critical of the Nae tional Labor Relations Board and particularly of the principle on which it operates. As Mr, Girdler said, anybody can make a complaint before the Federal Trade Commission, but

the employer can’t complain to

the Labor Board. One employer, hearing that his men were being given a distorted report of his position in wage nhegotiations, posted a bulletin-board memoran« dum stating the company’s posie tion. He was hauled before the Labor Board and charged with attempting to intimidate his employees, The experience put the fear of God into him. The employing community feels that it is the victim of a one-sided are gument. Although employers have become quite generally reconciled to collective bargaining. In fact they have become reconciled apparently to most of what is going on. They don’t seem to be fighting any more. Their morale is gone. these businessmen feel that President Roosevelt has a sneering dislike for them and that he delights in humiliating them. They are, to an extent, apparently sufe fering from wounded pride. In their conversations they complain more about the talking at Wash ington than about things actually done. » ~ w

R. GIRDLER, for instance, complained at Mr. Roosevelt’s recent statement about bringing prices down and keeping wages up, and felt that Mr. Roosevelt had singled out the steel industry for rebuke. He said a 10 per cent reduction in steel prices would have put all steel companies in the red on the basis of last year’s operations. “I believe in industry paying the highest wages that it can afford,” Mr. Girdler said. “Buying power depends on high wages and I have always paid wages at least

equal to the rest of the companies in steel industry. In the 1919 steel strike I was running the Aliquippa plant and I kept it going full force paying the highest wages in the entire industry. Labor leaders said Aliquippa was the Siberia of America. If that's their definition of Siberia, then we need more Siberias all over America.” Mr. Girdler says the annual wage would be the finest thing in the world if it could be worked out, but in his own company, with production fluctuating from 80 per cent down to 20 percent within a few weeks, he doesn’t know any way of going it for his entire payroll.
