Washington) The dally reports of strikes and tlal law, mediation and court action, tPii only hair the story of the present j ln:li.-itrial struggle, j It mu&t occur to any discerning nvwsp;per reader that such an epi- d3rn1ic cf ll,br tro'uile Pcbably has ' some spe.-ial central cause- that I things like that do not "just happen." what is the special ejiuue? The answer customarily made Is that an Increase ln strikes Is a na tural accompaniment to Industrial recovery. That Is true historically. In the main, woik-jrs sit tight In times of depression and grow restless as business gets better. The recent increase of industrial strife appears to many, howewr, to have far outrun the curve of recov ery. Government figures show 803 strikes in 1932. and 1,373 ln 1033. The first five- months of 1933 produced 426. the same pericd of 1934 produced 570. Special circumstances, furthermore, tend to upset the usual presumption. Customarily strikes Increase with lm- ) proving business because the workers i are anxious to get their shore of the new profits. Under NRA. the process was re versed. Instead of the usual lag ln wage increases, such Increases were granted In many industries even be fore the new profits began to accu mulate. It Is plain Hint some other cause must have contributed to what. Is happening today. A. F. L. Jlrhfl The situation will bc easier to un derstand If the events which led up to it are reviewed ln proper order. The recovery act, pas-ed ln the spring of 1933, contained a now celebrated clause known as "section 7A." which guaranteed workei-j the right to organize a:vd bargain collec tively, Immediately two things hap pened. The American Federation of Labor launched an unprecedented member ship campaign. Its organizers were accused of having told employes that "th3 president wants you to Join" the standard (feck-ration) union. Many employers, having a long standing dislike for the standard un ion, promoted the organization of "company unions." How far such un ions could be controlled by the em ployer is a matter of dispute; but at any rate they wvre not unions under worth ten Chicaso. You! Store No. 2 291G N. 2nd.

Surprisingly larg.f was the number cf industries where both company and standard unions claimed to rep resent a majority of the workers. Arrcl the difficulties of deivrmlng which was correct were many. In the automobile strike settlement last iprim; the president laid down the rule that an ofaclally-suporvlFed election should be held; then. In negotiations with the employers, each union thould be represented In pro portion to th-e number of votes It re ceived. That would have been a tremendous step toward solution. If It had worked for all Industry. But It didn't. In later strike situations, standard unions have held out against propor tional representation on the ground that It gav a voice to company un ions which.
