_ An 11-man Senate committee begins study this week of
one of the administration's “noble experiments.” The Senators will hear, during their study, just what the public thinks
of the experiment. And from all indications, the public doesn’t
think much of it.
The experiment in question is the National Labor Re
lations Act, which, for more than three years, has been the
monkey wrench in the wheels of industrial peace. It has been
condemned by labor, management and the public alike. Its
only defender has been the administration and a minority
’ group of labor.
What the Senate Committee will have under consideration are several proposals to amend the Act. The proposals
have been lying around Congress for many months, but pressure from the Act's defenders have kept the question closed
to consideration.
Now it has been brought out into the open by start of
public hearings on the amendments by the Senate committee.
Everyone—or almost everyone—hopes the hearings will
result in correction of this poorly drafted device of businesslabor regulation at this session of Congress.
But whatever hopes may have been raised by start of
hearings, they are not helped by the apparent attitude of some
These officials have expressed this contrary attitude by leaving labor act amendments off the ““must”’ list of legislation for
_this session.
In the face of almost unanimous labor, management and
public demand for correction of the labor law, the blocking of
emendment these Federal officials is tantamount to saying: “the public be damned.” —Contributed.
The Club In The Closet
Included among the almost innumerable provisions of
the original AAA was an item giving the President of the
United States power to issue $3,000,000,000 in ‘“‘printing
press money.” In other words, the Chief Evecutive had authority to inflate the nation’s money structure by simply ordering the government printing presses to start turning out
more greenbacks.
Now the Congress is beginning to realize this is too broad
a power to be left lying around Washington and wants to strip
the President of this authority. The President refers to it as
his “club in the closet.” The Senate has called it a club that
could be used to club economy to death.
Certainly this ““emergency power: should be withdrawn.
’ It is one cause (among many) for business uneasiness and
economic insecurity for the nation. x
It has been a long time since America burned its fingers
on irredeemable greenbacks. The fiat money of the Civil War
“days is a good reminder, however. And so is the experience of
the German people with its printing press money that followed the war. Remember? It took a bushel basket of marks to
buy a loaf of bread.—Contributed.
Behind Bullet-Proof Glass
Reiterating his high-sounding dogma that “one people,
one leader, one state,”’ are solidly united for Nazi aggression,
Adolf Hitler, in his most recent public utterances, has warn‘ed the rest of the world to ‘keep out of his way. Yet surround‘ed by his own countrymen, and encircled by armed guards,
‘Hitler has shouted his bold words behind bullet-proof glass!
: That means, most significantly, that Hitler knows many
“WGennans hate. him, as they hate war. And that Rnowledge
“may stay the mad Chancellor's lust for conquest more surely
‘ than any threat of resclute foreign opposition. Of the millions
_of Germans who marched in 1914, every sixth man was left
‘dead on the field. Nearly two million German homes were be~reft of son, father or husband. And so, when Hitler menaces
the world in the name of “one people and one leader,” he
like a Chicago gangster, behind bullet-proof glass! And
at revealing circumstance, strange though it may seem, may
augur peace for Europe, rather than bloodshed. A leader who
fears to face his own people—and resorts to such xtraordinary measures to protect himself from an assassin’s bullet—
py well fear to lead them into battle —Contributed.

“eae THOSE aes OUT wa a. FACE
CUTS DEMANDED
OF LEGISLATURE
By CLEM WHITAKER
_ The farmer and the shipper—the
railway worker and the railway boss
—have all joined hands at Sacramento in a spectacular legislative
battle which promises to write a new
book of rules and a new set of principles-for Califernia’s vast transporiation industry!
More to the point, the movement,
if successful, will result in freight
rate reductions which will save California shippers millions of dollars
annually.
Focal point of the battle is Senate Bill 115, which would abolish
artificial rate fixing policies, designed to prote2t high cost carriers,
and would re-assert the simple principle of “tthe most service for the
least possible cost’’ as the basic formula for establishing a sound rate
structure.
The battle for the bill has as many
untfsual aspects as the ‘‘man bites
the dog”’ classic of newspaperdom.
A. seeming ‘paradox, for example,
is the fact that the railroads, in
supporting the bill, are fighting for
the right to charge less so that they
can earn more! Under the present
law, there have been repeated instances in which rail rates have been
ordered increased, or proposed reductions enjoined, despite the protests of both railroads and shippers.
And artificially high rates, the railroads insist, mean less freight, fewer hauls—and less railroad ‘income
—-as well as higher costs to shippers.
Parmers—represented by the California Farm Bureau. Federation, the
Agricultural Council and other farm
groups—also are fighting militantly
for the new bill in an effort to gain
the benefits of reduced shipping
costs.
And for the first time during the
1939 legislative session, Iabor and
management have found common
ground and made common cause in
supporting the transportation reform bil, with the railroad brotherhoods in the forefront of the battle.
Voicing the viewpoint of railway
labor, Fred E. Reynolds, legislative
representative of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, asserts:
“Inevitably, the welfare of the
worker is linked with the welfare of
his industry. Senate Bill 1115 would
preserve for the public the cheapest
and most efficient form of transportation in each instance, regardless of whether it was by rail, water
or truck. It would end the present
unsound, and ~ uneconomic~ system
which often requires a carrier to increase its rates, as a protection to
less efficient carriers, and which has
severey penalized the railroad industry. Enactment of this bill, making
the lawful rate of the most efficient
carrier the basis on which the Railroad Commission shall establish its
minimum rate structure, will mean
greater job security for rail workers
and quicker recovery for the railroad industry’.
The bill already has received Senate approval—-by a vote of 30 to 4—
and is now awaiting action in the
assembly.
