i TIMES. WILLAMINA. OREGON News Review of Current Events the World Over President Calls on Labor and Capital to Pull Together— Progress of National Recovery— Arias Presents the Complaints of Panama. By EDWARD W. PICKARD OTAXPIXG before the fine memorial to Samuel Gotnpers in Washington which he helped to dedicate. Presi dent Roosevelt may well have wished that that wise, re sourceful and moder ate leader of organ ized labor were alive today to help In the battle for national re covery. During the World war Gompers aided tremendously In bringing the workers and employers of the United States togeth er to “pull In har William Green ness,” and the Presi dent In his address called on them to get together again in the present emergency. At the President's side stood Wil liam Green, who succeeded Mr. Gom pers as president of the American Federation of Labor and who is doing his best to carry out the policies of his predecessor. Mr. Green turned to Mr. Roosevelt and said: “I tender the assurance of the devotion and loyalty of the officers and members of the American Federation of Labor to ye 1 as the Chief Executive of our nation, and to the United States.” In his address the President said: “In the fields of organized labor there are problems Just as there were in the spring of 191"—questions of Jurisdiction which have to be settled quickly and effectively in order to pre vent the slowing up of the general pro gram. There are the perfectly natural problems of selfish individuals who seek personal gain by running counter to the calm Judgment of sound leader ship. There are hotheads who think that results can be obtained by noise or violence: there are insidious voices seeking to instill methods or prin ciples which are wholly foreign to the American form of democratic govern m ent “On the part of employers there are some who shudder at anything new. There are some, a decreasing number, I believe, who think in terms of dollars and cents instead of in terms of hu man lives; there are some who them selves would prefer government by a privileged class instead of by majority rule. "But it is clear that the sum of the objectors on both sides cuts a very small figure in the total of employers and employees alike who are going along wholeheartedly in tlie war against depression.” \ I T ALTER TEAGI.E, who is head of ’ ’ the XRA industrial advisory board, is not at all dismayed by the numerous strikes and other evidences of labor unrest He admits they are “disturbing,” but declares they really are an indication that business is on the upswing everywhere. Here Is the way he reasons: “At the beginning of every cycle strikes and unrests are always evident We certainly can't be going into a depression, so the present unrest and strikes must definitely in dicate that we are moving back up.” Mr. Roosevelt may be not quite so optimistic, for, at the request of Sen ator Wagner, chairman of the national labor board, he has appointed four new members of that body to handle the increasing number of strikes. They are Austin Finch of Thomasville, X. C., and E. X. Hurley of Chicago, rep resenting employers; and George L. Berry, head of the pressmen's union, and Prof Francis J. Haas of the Cath olic University of Washington, to speak for labor. O GREAT has become the pressure from senators and congressmen to S obtain jobs for their friends on the Tennessee valley project that Dr. Ar thur E. Morgan, cl man of the TV A, announced that e employee, even common laborers, be selected by service tests. Thf aminations, he i would be along same lines as E given p r o s p e c t Xavy department ployees. “1 really do blame members congress for the plained. “There are so many people desperately in need of work that the senators and representatives them selves are hard-pressed.” Doctor Morgan said that adminis trative costs of the project would be reduced materially through direct civil service action, which would release for other work a lurge staff that had to be maintained to care for more than 1,000 dally applications for Jobs. A FTER a long conference with offl- * * cials of the big steel companies. Recovery Administrator Johnson and Donald Rivhberg, XRA counsel. Pres ident Roosevelt served notice on the steel concerns which operate “captive” coal mines that they must at once en ter into direct “collective bargaining” activities with the officials of the Unit ed Mine Workers of America, or he would himself direct such negotiations. He made It clear that unless "captive” mine operators agreed voluntarily with the union to accept working agree ments similar to those the union ne gotiated with commercial coal mine op erators, he would order them Involun tarily to sign such an agreement The agreement will contain provisions re quiring the "check-off” system, which Is tantamount to recognition of the union. theory wns that the fatal conflagra tion was started by a carelessly thrown clgnrette. The flames swept through the woods, dried out by a long spell of hot weather, and the panlc-strcken men lost all sense of direction In the dense smoke. Two hundred or more were taken to hos pitals badly burned or suffering from suffocation. TJO PE for some success in the dls- armament conference was re vived though it wns still rather faint. The hope was based on the fact that both Germany and France were becom ing more specific in their* demands. The government in Berlin i s s u e d an o f f i c i a l statement respecting reports p u b l i s h e d abroad, declaring “it is completely false to say Germany demands arms equality with Frauce after five Stanley years. Germany de B ald w in m a n d s a f t e r fiv e years only the further disarmament of other countries. As to weapons, for training puritoses, all discrimination must now cease. But Germany does not demand the same number of weapons as others possess." France, represented by Premier Daladier, replied to the German state ments by re|>eating its plan for a four year trial period during which all armies would be bound not to augment armaments, followed by destruction of offensive weapons. Daladier said: "Xo one contests Germany's right to live the life of a great power. Xo one thinks of humiliating Germany.” The British were growing Impatient over the deadlock, and Stanley Bald win. lord president of the council and probably the country's foremost states man, uttered a stern warning in an address at Birmingham. “When I speak of a disarmament convention," he said. “I do not mean disarmament on the part of this coun try and not on the part of any other. I mean a limitation of armaments tiiat is a real limitation. “If a convention is signed, the na tion which breaks it will have no friend in this civilized world. "And I would add this, the same is true of any nation which deliberately prevents such an agreement being reached by putting forward demands which might lie acceptable after a time, but which would not tie accept able today to the other co-signatories.” This was looked on as plain speak ing to Germany. /'"'OXTIXUIXG the trend toward gov- ernment price fixing, the President has created a new agency whose func tion will be to obtain and maintain higher prices for commodities. It is called the Commodity Credit corpora tion, has an initial capital of $3,000,- 000 subscribed by the government, and will lend funds of the Reconstruction Finance corporation to producers— which the RFC cannot do legally. The first undertaking of the new agency will be to establish and main tain a price of between IQ and 15 cents a pound on cotton through loans of government funds to cotton farmers to enable them to hold this year's crop on the farms for higher prices. Oth er commodities, not yet announced, will be taken In hand later. The loans to producers are to be secured by the commodities. If these are even tually sold at prices below the mini mum fixed, the government will stand the loss. The President said that the loan will be made on the basis of 10 cents a I’A IX has a new government again, pound on all cotton of this year's crop this time with Martinez Barrios as still on the farms.
