Detroit Hears Richberg Urge

Compulsory Arbitration Law

{Continued From Page One)

no authority has answered. The same uncertainty surrounds strikes

in Detroit automobile plants. Mr, Ricliberg is a former general counsel for the national recovery administration, a co-author gf the railway labor act and the na onal industrial recovery act. Now he is chairman of the committee to promote industrial peace, which wrote the original version of the Hatch-Ball-Burton bill. He spoke here before the economic club of Detroit, an organ{zation mostly of industrialists although its directorate includes two labor leaders, Frank X. Marel of the Detroit Federation of Labor, ahd E. E, Milliman of the Bfotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees. . Employers Dubious Mr, Richberg was invited here because of the industrial controversies which are almost routine in

the motor capital. The manufacturers are dubious about the compulsory arbitration feature of the Hatch-Ball-Burton bill—a part that has been the target of attacks from labor unions.

Union distrust of the proposal is based on fear of any proposal that might impede the right to strike. Manufacturers apparently ~ shy away for fear that arbitrations procedure may be. stacked against them. : Public Hearing Mr. Richberg said that under the Hatch-Ball-Burton bill’ compulsory arbitration would be provided only in cases that now already bring this sort of treatment, “with police or soldiery carrying “out the hasty judgment of executive officials—a mayor, a governor, or the President, settling

the dispute in some way by the violent compulsion of public anger.” Instead of this kind of compulsion, he said, the proposed law “provides for a public hearing by a commission of able, impartial representatives of the people. It would certainly seem more just to all concerned to have a dispute settled by requiring the parties to put into effect the recommendation of such a tribunal for a trial period than to depend on the hurried and probably prejudiced decision of = poorly informed executive official” A statement that the Detroit Me dustrialists seemed to like was: “We have tried frial by combat and found that in the end the government is the sort of umpire who calls strikes on the visiting teams and gives bases on balls to the home team in order to make sure that the crowd won't throw pop bottles and cry, ‘Kill the umpire’ ” Mr. Richbefg challenged critics of the bill to write a better one and declared: “It would be strange he as the leading apostle of international peace, the United States were compelled to confess itself unable to preserve domestic peace and the health of the economic system through’ which alone this has become the most powerful nation in the’ world.”

CHURCHILL TO MEET WINDSORS IN FRANCE

said that 11,000 union members had walked out in 1575 union loft and office buildings and that operators in an additional 15 non-union buildings had struck in sympathy. 14,000 Shipworkers Out At Camden, N. J, a force of sitdown strikers at the closed New York Shipbuilding Corp. yards was cut from 14,000 to about 1500 as union leaders reiterated their vows that the men would remain idle until - their controversy with the company is settled. Most of the day shift of 14,000 left the yards this morning after staging an ‘all-night sit-down in protest against the dismissal of group of welders for alleged “loafing” on the job. The strikers stopped work yesterday morning for the second time in four days. The oll wage conference at Chicago, with Chief Justice William L. Knous of the Colorado supreme court presiding, brings together officials of 11 major petroleum firms and the C. I. O. Oil Workers International Union, whose members have curtailed production in three of the hatlon's petroleum-produc-ing areas. The strike threatened to spread momentarily to a fourth refining areasas a strike vote was conducted in Seminole, Okla. one of the world's richest oil fields. It was generally expected that conciliation service handling of the oil workers’ demand for a blanket 30 per cent wage increase would be reflected to a large extent in future claims of millions of workers seeking to maintain war-inflated “take-home” wages, The conference opened amidst a stormy labor atmosphere, with strikes and shutdowns idling workers throughout the nation, 500 Log Camps Down In the Pacific northwest, nearly 500 logging camps, sawmills and wood-working plants were shut down by 60,000 A. F. of L. lumber workers demanding higher wages. A “showdown strike” closed 29 Pennsylvania soft coal mines, employing 16,000, and Michigan’s Harry P. Kelly intervened in a Detroit dispute’ which has forced the layoff of 50,000 Ford Motor Co, workers. Nearly 7000 coal miners were idle in northern West Virginia as mine supervisers and fire bosses began their scheduled strike to obtain union recognition. Officials of the Northwest Couneil of Lumber and Sawmill Workers said the strikers had shut down plants in a peaceful walkout in Oregon, Washington, Montana, Ida~ ho, and parts of northern California. But of more concern to the strikers was whether A. F. of L teamsters would cross picket lines to haul lumber. Lumber union heads insisted no lumber would be moved. The union demands a minimum of $1.10 an hour on an industrywide basis. The operators contend wages and working conditions should be determined -on a geo~ graphical basis because of varying factors. New Strike Threatened The C.I1 O. International Woodworkers of America threaten a northwest strike of 40,000 members. They demand 25 cents per hour wage increase, The building employees strike in New York city was called after a WLB panel wage, recommendation of last June was ‘changed. The panel had recommended a 40-hour week for office and loft workers with pay of $30.15 to $34.98 and a $3.64 weekly boost for apartment workers with work-week re-

duction from 60 to 51 hours for night ers and 51 to 48 for day workers. |

A WLB directive last week approved only $28.05 for the loft and office building workers on a 40hour week, and $250 raise for apartment workers. It made no provision for retroactivity to last February and April when the old contracts expired.

Buildings Unaffected

The towering Chrysler building and the cluster of Rockefeller Cen~ ter skyscrapers were not affected by the walkout. Building operators said they held separate contracts with the unions. At Detroit settlement was reached in a strike of 4500 workers at two plants of Murray Corp. of America, and C.I.0. Auto Workers union of - ficials reported progress toward settlement of the month-old Kelsey Hayes wheel company dispute which has idled 50,000 Ford Motor Co. employees. Detroit still counted 82,000 strikeidle persons, including 10,000 strikers at the Ford of Canada subsidiary at nearby Windsor. The’ gasoline workers strike seriously impeded private transporta-

The former audience chamber, which was furnished in Japanese

Prior to the audience, I was informed that the emperor now resides in a cottage within the palace grounds since his imperial palace was rendered uninhabitable by air raids. It is estimated that buildings within the extensive palace grounds are 50 per cent destroyed. Entered by Main Gate I entered the grounds by the gate called Sakashita Mon, accompanied by a foreign office official, T. Urabe. This gate now is used as the principal entrance to the palace grounds since destruction within the walls around the former official gateway renders it impracticable. * Since previous arrangements had been made, there was no hitch in the procedure, which was on a timetable schedule, except for a slight delay at the gate. American sentries there examined my pass, issued by the U. 8S. provost marshal, and called their officer of the day to scrutinize it and question me regarding the purpose of my mission. During this interlude, two steelhelmeted American sentries with bayoneted rifles peered into the windows of the car.in which I was sitting as their commanding officer talked with me. Upon my assurance that I was scheduled to have tea with the emperor at 4 o'clock, which hour was rapidly approaching, the officer finally permitted me-to proceed. U. 8. Planes Overhead

American planes flew over the palace grounds during tea and their immediate proximity overhead was distinctly noticeable inside the audience chamber.

Approaching the palace, as we passed a point- opposite the main edifice, my escort doffed his hat. After we entered the palace grounds, all attendants we encountered bowed deeply and gravely. The route from the main entrance of the building, where we left our! car, was up a flight of heavilycarpeted stairs, thence through

many long corridors with bowing attendants at f ‘intervals. All those at were dressed simi-

The talk, in addition to the official questions and answers, covered a wide range of topics, many just polite conversation. The emperor, noting that this was my first visit to Japan, asked my impressions, I told him and he replied that this was not a very good time to get the best impression of the country. We also discussed golf, baseball, and biology, which Hirohito said

Regarding freedom of news, Hirohito said in his written replies that this is a highly desirable objective. He also said that free interchange of news among nations would be the greatest safeguard against international misunderstandings. Desires News Freedom After tea, cigarets were passed, but Hirohito didn’t smoke any. I did, Finally expressing the wish that my stay in Japan would be enjoyable, the emperor indicated that my audience was finished. We all rose. He left through the same wide doors he had entered the room as all the Japanese bowed lowly. The emperor responded with a bow. About halfway back down the long corridors, I was ushered briefly into another room where the text of the questions and answers were handed to me. Then I stepped into a waiting car and drove down the gravelled roadway through the great gates, past saluting Japanese guards and American sentries. We were outside the palace grounds and driving into the ruins of Tokyo. Official Text

Following is the text of the written questions I submitted to the imperial household and the written answers. from the emperor which were handed me as I left the palace: 1. Would your imperial majesty care to speak of the future of Japan? : Answer: Now that Japan has started on the new road of peace his majesty’s most hopeful nation will succeed in arriving at that desired goal for which he will employ every means at his disposal. The emperor would like to ask the people of the United Nations to observe the future trend of Japan closely. The nation is now on an entirely new footing and will prove itself equal to the membership of the family of nations. His majesty says he will deliberately refrain from giving too many promises regarding the future of the country at this moment as he realizes it is deeds and not mere words that really matter, Future of Democracy J 2. What is the future of democracy in Japan? Answer: The emperor believes that an immediate revolutionary change of the form of government in Japan is neither possible nor desirable. The democratic government which will evolve in time may not necessarily follow the exact pattern that it has in the United States or Great Britain. But it is his majesty’s desire and intention that his people will be made to appreciate the value of democratic government, 3. In my travels around Japén, 1 have been impressed by the large numbers of children seen everywhere. Would your imperial majesty care to comment on the trend which; education will take in Japan during the coming years? Answer: His majesty feels that the educational system should be

remedied. Immediate Problems

4. What are the most immediate problems in your imperial majesty’s mind with regutd to the daily needs of the people of Japan? Answer: The emperor says that Japan is in urgent need of staple foods now. He is much exercised with the prospects for winter when millions of his people will be without clothing, shelter or fuel. A solution of this problem will be extremely difficult without the sympathetic co-operation of other nations. 5. Is it your imperial majesty’s wish that Japan have a free press and free interchange of news with other nations of the world? Answer: His majesty’s reply Is “Yes”; he says that this highly desirable objective is to be achieved as rapidly as conditions permit. The emperor believes that free interchange of news among nations would be the greatest safeguard against international misunder~

he could to effectuate peace.
