Hundreds of thousands of mill ers—are striking. The in itself is sore. Consumers, ;“.F’»;_.;hz at high prices, refuse to a. The New Deal's brave at empt to make everybody happy ems to be, in this important and mbarrassing instance, at least a mporary tlop r NRA consequently is doing bme heavy thinking. What do ou do when an industry can't sell is goods? And when the textlle oker's average weekly wage rops below sll as a result of an fficially approved curtailment pro am reducing the maximum work eek from 40 to 30 hours? In the cotton garment industry, resident Roosevelt ordered a re otion to 36 hours with a com bensato 10 per cent wage in rease—and the industry is defy he him. But the NRA Research nd Planning division reported the otton textile industry could not tand a boost in hourly wages. It ven decided the union’s demand permanent 80-hour week nustn't be granted,) NRA gets little credit for heavy inking, as General Johnson has hal a way of suppressing its brain trusters.” Economists and tatisticians frequently produce igures and facts which NRA is hot preparcd to admit, because they fon't sound nice. The only way I can prove that his high-powered brain work and het-facing actually d 2 go on with h NRA is to cite a. couple of very onfidential studies and reports by fietor S, von Szeliskl, assistant to Director Leon Henderson of Re eirch and Planning,, He helned r. Alexander Sachs organize that fivision in early NRA days, prior 0 which he was a research econ pmist for the New York Federal Reserve Bank. “This share the work movement, py which roughly 100,000 additienal extile workers were taken on, has come a share-the-unemployment povement,” he reports to the NRA ierarchy. “What does it avail he textile worker that his hourly ate is 15 per cent above 1929—0 n he average—if he only gets $0 lours—or less—of work each week? Workmen have to live on their pay hecks, not hourly rates.” Under the codes, Von Szeliskl nimues, manufacturerers of cot o, silk and wool now sing that sumption has qropped below ¢ levels of March, 1933, Where a2l cash income has risen but % per cent, textile prices are up m 30 to 40 per cent. ‘Preservation of these high cost ills” he says, “is really the sole hevement of the cotton textile Mustry Low cost manufacturers, he ev 'S, are prevented from manu ftluring in quantities at low prices 4 thus high cost producers hhle along at the expense of la and consumers, _The only cure, he insists, lies in P 2 volume movement to consum -1% abundant employment and &€ weekly pay envelopes, - S ——— Production poliey 1s now made h reference to net income — or Yfits — remaining after wages.

The speculation—entirely infor mal thus far—was stirred by an article the former President pub lished in the current issue of the Saturday Evening Post. . This was the first time since he left the White House on March 4, 1933, that Mr. Hoover has pub licly, expressed his views on polit ical questions. He has written a book giving his opinions in greater detail which will be pub lished late this month. The former President asserted the New Deal is a usurpation of liberty, and was challenged promptly by Secretary Ickes. “When he speaks of liberty he is talking of the rights of prop erty,” said the intrepid depart ment head, a former Republlcan.‘ He added in a statement to news papermen: “Does he mean the liberty of a special class to build up fortunes and exploit qthers less fortunate or the liberty of the people to have jobs and decent homes in which to live?” “The man who sees special priv ileges that he and his friends have exercised checked in any way immediately complains of an in vasion of liberty.” Other officials remained silent pending a study of the article. Whatever a former President does is watched closely by the po litical leaders for straws in the wind as to his intentions.
