NEW YORK, May 24. .TP) Leaders
of the steel industry launched a con
certed attack on the closed shop, labor
union activity and the Wagner bill,
at the 44th Reneral meeting of the
Iron and Steel Institute today.
"We stand squarely for the open
hop." declared Eugene G. Grace,
president of the Institute, In his key
note address.
Grace called the Wagner bill "vic
ious." T. M. Girdler. chairman and
president of the Republic Steel cor
poration, termed it "the outstanding
legislative monkey wrench which to
day threatens to Jam the wheels of
recovery."
"Business Is ready to go forward."
said Grace. "It to being halted by
undue emphasis on reform: unsound,
biased and perhaps even unconstitu
tional legislative proposals: political
maneuvering, unrestrained public ex
penditures, currency tinkering an.1
increased tax burdens.
Iteconl Cited.
He cited the record of the steel in

representation plans and said "we
Jcnow that this method of coopera
tive collective dealing Is better to:
all parties concerned than is the old
outworn idea of strife and conflict
with all of its attendant loses to the
employe, the employer and the gen
eral public."
Grace continued: "Now we are
faced with a vicious legislative pro
posal that seeks to discredit these
plans, gives legislative backing to na
tional, irresponsible labor unions ar.d

national labor relations act. com

"The signs show good times ahead.-'
Girdler said, "and I think we arr

economic experimenters keep on
throwing more monkey wrenches Into
the machinery.
"The Wagner bill. Just passed by
the senate. Is the outstanding legis

It was not designed to promote re
covery. "It was enacted upon the insist
ence of, and for the exclusive bene
fit of, the American Federation of
Labor, and the one and only purpose
behind It Is to clamp the yoke of
the closed shop upon millions of frs
American citizens."
Girdler contended the bill in effect
would force workers to relinquish
their right of collective'' bargain tng
through employe representation plans.
Prank Purnel. president of the
Voungstown Sheet and Tube com
pany, in an address that was to havi
been made by Ernest T. Weir, chair
man of the National Steel corpora
tion, pointed out the extent of em
ploye representation plans In the
steel Industry.
In a survey covering 101 companies
employing mere than 90 per cent of
workers on steel payrolls. 89 per cent
of the employes in the operating rit
visions were giving active support to
the representation plan in their own
companies, he said.
