WASHINGTON. June 33 "What
Next?"
That oft-repeated question which
bualneaa ha& been asking the New
Deal to answer can be answered at
la,.
Thle writer put It up to Secretary
of Labor Perkins.
Sitting In her htgh-celllnged ofllce
In the labor department between
strike conferences, she gave an un
hesitating reply.
. The plaint of the business man was
repWWvto her:
"Tell ua'tfSat Is coming. We might
be able to tak Tto medicine you've
already prescribed If -. were sure
there wasn't going to be any more."
Miss Perkins replied:
"There Isn't going to b any more,
If business participates and cooper
ate fully In what we have now. In
cluding the proposed wages-and-hours
law."
Hen are three notes, unofficial
hut safe, to Jot down on your desk
Bad:
. 1. The national labor relations act
wlH not be modified to permit em
ale-vers to appeal to the board
3. The employer will, however, be
given full hearing under the wagea-and-houra"
bill when It comes to ad
justing labor atandarda to his par
ticular Industry.
a. labor unions will not be regula
ted by the government. Like tne pro.
fusions, they will be expected to de-
relop a code of' ethics and reduce It
to law.
The New Deal plannera appear to
have reached a plateau.
The line that charts their progress
, wwBru iw " j
ment of social Justice In caplta'.-ia-Knr
relationships goes like this:
Almost straight upward, as tbere Is
enacted old age pensions, unemploy
ment Insurance, the national labor
relations act, and the wages and
hmin' hill is launched. Then horl-
aontal, "onward" but no longer "up
ward."
The planners admit that the ateep
climb made everyone lose hla breath;
some their heads.
A rapid change In altitude, thej
point out, always results .n palpi
tation. But they say to the panting
taurines man, "you'll get used to It."
Senator Carter Glass may not feel
well enough to attend the rolaterlng
fishing party of Jefferson Islend this
week, but his secretary will testify
that you have to get up early In the
morning to beat that peppery Vir
ginian.
The aenator hasn't been well late
ly and hla secretary, Rlxey Smith,
felt he ought to go along to keep an
eye on hie boss when the latter went
up to get his honorary degree at
