NEW DEAL PLAYS
FARMER GROUPS
AGAINST OTHERS
By JAMES PRESTON
If farmers and small businessmen
had been able to slip into a recent
closed meeting in Washington, they
would be plenty disturbed now. For
they would have had an advance
peek at some interesting things that
are being planned for them, such’ as
laws forcing them to pay no less than:
$16 a week to any of their employees.
The meeting was the National
Conference of Labor Legislation,
called by Secretary Perkins of the
U. S. Labor Department and attended by official representatives of 39
state governors. Delegates were either state labor department officials
or leaders of labor organizations.
The purpose was to plan future state
and federal laws.
Among the first orders of business
were committee reports advocating
State WageHour laws patterned after the federal statute, and suggesting closer state-federal cooperation
in the enforcement of wage-hour
laws. The section on state wage-hour
laws made no reference to inclusion
of farm workers and domestic servants, so one delegate asked why
not. To which an Illinois delegate
replied:
“In some states it is necessary to
exempt agriculture for the moment
in order to get the farm votes needed to pass the legislation.”
Stating it more bluntly, that answer means this: Supporters of laws
requiring employers. to pay specified
wages realize that in. many states
farmers could not afford to pay $16
a week to hired help and therefore
would not support a state law forcing them to do so. But their support
is needed to get such laws through
the legislature. Therefore, farmers
will be told how they would benefit
if such wages were paid by ‘“‘industrialists’’ and ‘big’ business’ and
talked into approving the laws. Then
after the laws have been on _ the
statute books a while, all the other
groups will be swung behind amendments extending the minimum wages to farm help.
That has
some states, and the strategy worked so. well that the plan will be followed in others.

ed federal action on the question of
migratory farm labor; they hit ‘‘industralized agriculture,’’ comparing
it to “sweat shops’; they urged
abolition of poll taxes; and they suggested limitations upon the employment of young folks on the farm.
There was one substantial ray of
hope however. One delegate demanded a resolution asking the U. S.
Labor Department to survey unemployment, find out its cause, and suggest ways to give jobs to the 10 million now jobless. To everybody’s
surprise, Secretary Perkins after recounting mamy experiments which
have been ‘tried admitted:
“We know too well that we have
not gotten to the bottom of the question of unemployment and that our
constructive suggestions have. not
been enough.’’
She then went on to say that hope
for the future rested with industry
] and its ability, through research and
invention, to develop new products
and processes, and added:
“The new frontiers of industry are
not closed. They do not respond to a
resolution or to an act of Congress.
We must not fool ourselves into
thinking there is a remedy or: panacea for unemployment which can be
put into effect by legislation or proclamation.”
A lot of folks doubtless think it is
too. bad, this philosophy hasn’t been
general in Washington for some time.
But now that New Dealers. are talking that way, maybe natural processes will be allowed a little more leeway. Remembering, of course,. that
the intention still is to bring the
farmer and little businessman into
the corral.
The special House Smith committee investigating the Wagner Act has
finally found out why the
Board can claim it has settled 21,000
labor disputes cases. The board takes
credit for everything.
For instance, a telegraph operator
was fired by a press association for
drunkenness, The operator filed a
charge of “unfair labor practices’’
against the man who fired him. The
Labor Board investigated, found that
.the discharge was not “unfair’’ and
simply wrote ‘settled’ on the complaint and put it in the files, among
the 21,000 cases.
The telegraph operator’s ' boss
didn’t even know about the complaint
until he got a questionnaire from the
Smith committee asking him about
it. So it could hardly have been a
‘labor dispute.’’ Butt the Labor Board
had it on record that way.
Washington’s financial experts are
at odds again. Congress asked the
Treasury to make a survey of the
debt-tax situation and report back
in January how business could be
stimulated by tax law changes. In the
middlé of the Treasury’s study,
Chairman Eccles of the Federal Reserve Board came forth with a suggestion that taxes on both individuals. and corporations be increased:
Under-Secretary Hanes of the Treasury immediately disavowed the Becles plan an;d said it did not have the

Eccles’ motive for sticking the
monkey wrench into the machinery
is still unclear. But he happens to be
one of those who think the Federal
government should finance almost
everything, and that letting it pile
up a debt is the way to real prosperity. Hanes, on the other hand, looks
forward to the day when ‘the government will spend no more than it takes in.
