6 VOTERS IN 10 ASK

One in Four Favors Greater Regulation of Business; Republicans Want Fewer Rules For Trade. Ry DR. GEORGE GALLUP

Director, American Institute of Public Opinion

PRINCETON, N. J., Nov. 22.—Leaders of the A. F. of L. and the C. I. 0. may well ponder the state of .public

opinion in the nation regarding labor. . A public opinion survey by the Institute indicates: that

labor unions face a much more serious public relations problem than business.

In fact, the study shows that business, which was for many years the target of New Deal reform, stands far higher in public favor today than do the labor unions. In conducting the study, the Institute was not concerned with the merits or demerits of either business or labor, or their respective rights. As a fact-finding agency, it simply sought to measure the nation’s attitude toward further regulation of buisness and of labor in the months ahead. 2 The study put two questions to 8 cross-section of voters the nation over. The first was: “During the next four ‘years do you think there should be more or less regulation of business by the Federal Government than at present?” : The vote of those with opinions was as follows:

iMore business regulation. ... 27% -. Less 9000000000 sonora 51 BAMG eecnnonrecicssteneensas 22

| One voter in five (20 per cent) was undecided or without an opinion. The second question dealt with regulation of labor unions: “During the next four years do you think there should be more or less regulation of labor unions by the Federal Government than at present?” The returns show -that more than twice as many people .favor more regulation of labor unions as favor more regulation of business. More labor union regulation 60%

Approximately one voter in five X27 per cent) expressed no opinion. + One discovery made by the poll is

Regulate Business More?

Regulate Labor Unions More?

Each bar shows the percentage of voters in a nation-wide Gallup poll favoring greater regulation of labor unions and of business.

ple earning $20 a week or less, a substantial majority—57 per cent— is for union regulation. The low income group is, however, much more in favor of business regulation than the middle and upper group.

G. 0. P.-Wants Fewer Rules

It is true that the chief pressure for less regulation of business by the Federal Government comes from the Republican side. Whereas

only about one-fourth of the Democrats in the poll favor less regulation of business, 80 per cent of the Republicans favor easing up on

business restrictions. Most observers|.

would not find this surprising. But they may find it surprising to know that more Democrats than Republicans favor greater regulation of labor unions. Even among Democrats there is a sizable majority for such regulation; in fact, the Democrats are actually more for it than the Republicans. Among those expressing an opinion the vote by parties is as follows:
