STUDY CHANGES IN LABOR LAWS

» Dramatizes Problems [. Of Mediation.

Y By LUDWELL DENNY Times Special Writer

WASHIN GTON, March

Washington’s history—and under Separate attacks on the Labor Board by employers, the A. F. of L., and sthe Supreme Court—the Administration is considering revamping its labor peace machinery. Various experts’ recommendations,

“now being studied by the Adminis-

tration, would: 1. Supplement the Wagner Labor felations Act, which guarantees collective bargaining, by strengthening the Labor Department Conciliation Servige to help collective bargaining work—somewhat like the British and Swedish systems -and the U. S. Railway Labor Act.

s Dissatisfaction Known

2. Withdraw Administration opposition to demands for “improving” the Labor Board, provided the

AA. F. of L. and the so-called “mod-~]

erate” group will let all the other proposed Wagner Law amendments die this session. » 3. Re-examine all labor peace machinery in the light of recent erican experience and of the residential commission reports on British and Swedish labor, and in fanticipation of a new general Governmental Reorganization Law. 4. Keep alive for many months, if Mecessary for peace, the A. F. of L.- % I. O. peace conference which olds its third session in New York tonight. Though the Administration has accepted none of these recommen=-

‘tlations, it is known to be dissatis-

fied with results of the present setup. Secretaries Perkins and Hopkins are studying suggestions. The situation is dramatized and Yersonalized for other Cabinet officers, and Congressmen, who have been living in struck hotels here. Many persons are asking why the 4 .abor Board or the Conciliation Service did not prevent this general hotel strike. They are surprised to learn tit the Labor Board is lim,dted to law enforcement and is not a mediating agency, and that the statutory authority of the Conciliation Service is very slight.

House Is Favorable

In this connection the House has just made an unexpected demon- | § stration in favor of governmental smediation. It exempted from its Reorganization Bill authority the machinery of. the Railway Labor Act—the only issue on which the|; House voted down the Administraion. Some of the experts’ reports before the Administration in icate that the absence of ‘adequate wral _mediation law is partly to blame for the large number’ of strikes, and inflirectly for attacks

on the Labor Beard by the Supreme|ggcar.

ourt and Congress. They: claim he Board has been maneuvered, somewhat by inept Administration but chiefly by emergency situations, into mediation activities outside. its slegal function. The Sands Manufacturing case of Cleveland, on which the Supreme Court recently overruled the Labor

ard, is cited as a typical case|M;

requiring conciliation of a legal dispute under collective bargaining, rather than a Board decision that the employer had illegally refused %o bargain. These expert reports emphasize that a policing agency, such as the Labor Board, cannot and should not Junction as a conciliater, because

* the function of one begins where

the other stops—the theory that a law violation cannot be mediated. but a legal dispute should be metiated to preserve collective bargaining and prevent strikes. Perfect operation of the Wagner jaw and Labor Board, it is pointed out, would only provide collective bargaining without helping it work —without touching the larger, more

. difficult, continuing problems in-

erent in settling a whole range of labor disputes peacefully. As in the current Washington hotel strike, the right of collective bargaining is not an issue—partly betause the Labor Board earlier, in one hotel case, certified the proper union bargaining group. Here is a dispute outside the Board’s province. And, thought a Labor Department concilator operated informally on the fringes for a few days, not until yesterday did Jr. J. R. Steelman, head of the ConYiliation Service, feel that his agency could step in officially. But real mediation, it is felt, is Impossible after a strike starts. > Prevention Main Goal What the Administration is con= sidering is a method for preventing and settling legal disputes before %ollective bargaining fails and a strike . or violence begins.

ice are not adjudged the causes but the victims of the present situation. Full credit is given Secretary Perkins and Dr. Steelman for the splendid record of the Conciliation Service, which in the last year disposec of 2319 labor disputes involving 1,460,795 workers and which prevented 339 strikes involving 230,565 workers.

But with wider statutory recognition and authority, and more than the present 50 conciliators for the entire nation, some Administration advisers think this Labor Depart ment agency could prevent many more hundreds of strikes.

| ON WAGNER ACT

* Favor ‘Amendment - or Outright Repeal.

By DR. GEORGE GALLUP American Institute of Public Opinion

NEW YORK, March 10.—A substantial majority, of American voters with opinions on the Wagner should be revised or repealed at this time. . With agitation stirring in Congress to amend this controversial legislation, an American Institute of Public Opinion survey finds | that approxi- ° mately one-third of. the voters with an opinion ‘on the act think it should be left unchanged, while two-thirds want it amended or repealed outright.

The Institute has faken three|; surveys of voting sentiment on the |: labor law, each time asking the |}

same question: “Do you think the Wagner labor Act should be revised, . repealed or left unchanged?” The trend of sentiment has peen

as follows: Re- Re- Left Unvised pealed chinged May, 1938 43% 19% Nov., 1938 52 18 ' [30 Today .. 48 18 3M If the votes for revision and repeal are combined, it ‘appears that 66 per cent of persons with opinions’ on the act are dissatisfied with it today, against 34 per cent who want it left unchesnged. Why has this dissatisfaction arisen? The principal reason, judging by an analysis of voters’ comments, is a belief that the act discriminates against the employer. The group of voters who, on the other hand, favor outright repeal of the act give two main reasons for their opinion—first, that the act “stirs up labor trouble,” and second that it is not the Govern-

ment’s function to take a hand in|

labor squabbles. Finally, those voters ‘who | ‘want the act left unchanged say that if

the labor unions like the law it

should remain as it is. Sentiment for repealing the act, the survey shows, is strongest among voters in the upper income levels, while sentiment for leaving it unchanged is most pronounced in the lower levels. » Less than one-fifth of the upper income voters, for example, want the act to. remain unchanged, whereas a majority of 53 per cent in the lower income group think it is satisfactory now. L eft
