LABOR PROBLEM,
SUM PURSES,
JV. R. A. TROUBLES
i
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. — Two
features of the NRA campaign are
giving officials more concern than
all the others put together.
One is the attitude of certain big
business interests toward organized
labor. The other is the complaint
of many small merchants that they
i simply haven’t the money to ex
pand employment.
If these two obstacles could be
swept away, the recovery admin
istration would be really happy. It
has other troubles, naturally, but
it seems quite serene about them.
It shows no great worry, for in
stance at reports that some em
ployers have signed the code and
then restricted operations, or doubl
ed up jobs, so as to preclude the
necessity of new employment.
From General Johnson down,
those who are engineering the NRA
appear fully confident they can
| remedy the situation by the force!
; of an organized public opinion.
It is different with the worries
about labor troubles in the biggest;
industries, and lack of ready capi-j
tal in the smallest. No one at the'
recovery administration sees these i
| two barriers as necessarily insur-|
! mountable, but everyone wishes:
I they were out of the way because!
; of the bad feeling they are causing, j
What happened with respect to
1 labor was something like this:
Many of the bigger business men,
who helped to write the recovery
; act expected it to permit industries’
I to draft their own codes of fair
practice. The government was to
i come in only to enforce these codes
■ after industry had said what
I they should be.
Mr. Roosevelt had another idea.
He put in several clauses which
would strengthen the part the gov
ernment was to play, and also
would give a larger voice to labor.
It surprised many industrialists
when the administration began to
say “No” to so many things indus
try wrote into its codes. Probably 90
per cent of these “noes” had to do
! with wages and hours of labor, and
j to the relations between capital
and labor.
The question of the small mer
chant, standing at the other end
of the industrial scale, is just as
troublesome in the aggregate be
cause so many people and so many
communities are involved.
It causes much heavy thinking
when a storekeeper writes in, as
one of them did, and says: “I want
to go along with the President,
but what am I to use for money?”
Many are protesting that they
just are able to make a living,, and
pay the salaries of their five or
six employes; and if they are com
pelled now to put on one or two
more on the payroll, it will push
them over the margin that now
separates them from bankruptcy.
That is one of the reasons why
Washington has put much emphas
is recently on the need for loosen
ing credit facilities. Officials be
lieve many such small employers
would be willing “to make increased
payroll expenditures, in the nature
of a capital investment, if they
could get the capital.
For the moment the NRA is able
to suggest no other answer, except
to say that in any great enterprise
of this kind some injustices are
inevitable, and the whole ex
periments can succeed only if the
big and little employers are willing
to “hire until it hurts.”
