Why All The Labor Strife? Price
Believes The NRA Is Involved
By lljmm I'riee
(Chief of Bureau, The Associated
Press. 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

Company 1 iilons
In many caes, the question was
raised: "Who shall speak for the em
ployes In the collective bargaining
mentioned in, -jecticn 7A?"
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. It was contended, were
entitled to none because they repre-
