Washington.—Since his arrival in
Washington, Georges Bonnet, the
new French ambassador, has been
the target at nearly every social
function he has attended for ques¬
tions about the sit-down strikes and
what has happened about them.
The questioners started off with the
popular delusion that the sit-down
strike originated in France.
M. Bonnet hastens to set them
right about this. He is not sure just
where they did originate, but he
knows they were in vogue in Poland
before they were ever employed in
France.
But the big surprise is what has
happened since they started in
France. The French government,
questioners are told, simply said it
would not stand for them! It so
notified strikers and labor leaders.
When sit-down strikers were ap¬
proached by the French police, they
abandoned their “posts” with only
vocal objections. No one was hurt.
There was no disorder.
All of which is rather startling to
Washington’s diners-out, especially
as they had assumed that the pres¬
ent French government is almost
Communist—certainly more liberal
than most, and presumably much
more pro-labor than the present ad¬
ministration in this country.
Meanwhile there is plenty of dis¬
cussion in senate and house cloak¬
rooms, and elsewhere, as to what
ought to be done about sit-down
strikers, and who ought to do it.
There are plenty of suggestions that
Grover Cleveland would know how
to handle it. In fact, his name was
mentioned to a recent visitor on
Capitol hill by two very distin¬
guished senators.
Where Power Lies
There is a very wide difference of
opinion as to where the constitution¬
al power lies. Some lawyers among
the national legislators insist that
the federal and state governments
have joint power. The theory here
is that the sit-down strikes in the
automobile plants affect interstate
commerce, hence thrusting respon¬
sibility on the federal government
for the movement of goods * cross
state lines.
This is a minority view, as most
lawyers agree that automobile pro¬
duction, to take the most; popular
instance, is strictly intrasfate, de¬
spite the very obvious effects such
a strike would have on interstate
commerce, both in the flow of sup¬
plies to the plant and the flow of
automobiles from the plant.
However, the Supreme court is
expected to settle that point, very
definitely, in its forthcoming deci¬
sion on the Wagner labor relations
act. The two cases are almost on
all fours. The government contends
it has the right to compel plants
engaged in similar production to
submit to labor regulations of the
federal government. The compa¬
nies insist they are’intrastate. The
decision of the court will almost
certainly decide that point of con¬
tention.
Most lawyers who have studied
the case believe that the court will
hold the Wagner act unconstitution¬
al, some of them even predicting
that the decision will be unanimous.
If that should prove true, it will
become almost certain that responsi¬
bility for handling sit-down strikes—
if they are to be handled by any
governmental power at all, which in
itself is highly dubious—will rest
with state governments. Perhaps
even local governments.
A Real Menace
Despite all reports to the con¬
trary, The administration does not
propose to attempt compulsory ar¬
bitration of labor disputes. In the
first place, the administration has
no desire to get in a knockdown
and drag out fight with organized
labor, and if there is one subject
on which John L. Lewis and William
Green see eye to eye it is that they
want no compulsory arbitration—
least of all from the government.
The administration recognizes the
seriousness of the present labor de¬
velopment. President Roosevelt has
told members of the house that he
is much concerned about the possi¬
bilities of the sit-down strikes; that
he regards them not only as illegal
but as a real menace to the country.
He made this admission despite
the knowledge of every man in the
group to whom he was speaking
that he himself had virtually forced
General Motors to negotiate while
sit-down strikers were occupying its
plants, which action resulted not
only in the success of C. I. O. in that
battle, but made its victory in steel
easy, and started a wave of strikes
and other labor disturbances in
other industries.
What the administration is figur¬
ing on is something in the nature of
the mediation board which has ex¬
isted for many years for the han¬
dling of disputes between railway
managements and workers. This
board has never had any authority.
It merely sits in with the conflict¬
ing elements and seeks to -bridge
over the differences by moral sua¬
CLEVELAND COURIER
sion, very much as Edward F. Mc
Grady, assistant secretary of la¬
bor, and other labor officials have
been doing in the various strike
situations outside the railroad field.
Await Court Fight
The most the government hopes
for, as a matter of fact, is some
sort of agreement that there must
be 30 days’ notice before a strike is
actually made effective—a sort of
breathing spell treaty, so to speak.
But few believe that even this would
work, thinking that the modern idea
of nations making war before they
formally declare it is just as effec¬
tive—a bit of tactics—even if un¬
fair—in labor warfare as in inter¬
national conflicts.
Meanwhile, of course, all this la¬
bor legislation, including also the
much desired—on the part of the ad¬
ministration—federal regulation of
wages and hours, is waiting on the
outcome of the President’s fight to
enlarge the Supreme court.
It would be bad tactics, most New
Dealers believe, to put any legisla¬
tion through before the high court
has its new blood transfusion. To
get any part of the program accom¬
plished in advance of action on the
court enlargement law would, it is
thought, take just that much steam
out from the pressure for the court
fight. This battle is tough enough,
the New Dealers realize, without
surrendering an ounce of advantage.
All of which spells infinite delay.
There is no thought in the senate
of expediting that debate. Senator
Henry F. Ashurst, chairman of the
senate judiciary committee, despite
a complete flop V> the President’s
side, announces he will fight any
move to invoke cloture. Which
means that the talkers in the senate
will not be restrained.
Best estimates are that the final
vote will not come before June, even
if then, which means that all the
new labor legislation, and the farm
legislation as well, must wait until
after that.
Heavier Spending
Much heavier federal spending
with higher taxes on 1937 incomes,
both corporate and individual—de¬
spite the heavily increased returns
of March 15—are definitely on the
administration’s agenda. The vig¬
orous disclaimers on Capitol hill
that followed the insistence of M.
S. Eccles, reserve board chairman,
that the budget must be balanced
by new levies are just so much eye¬
wash.
Congress is in a spending mood
and the administration is headed
toward what tories will call a
spending orgy. Bitter protests of
senators and representatives will be
calmed by administration insistence
that new taxes to finance spending,
without too great additions to the
federal debt, are necessary to head
off inflation—which would hit the
consumer. Those in congress who
oppose the tax boost will be put in
the position of protecting the rich
and the corporations—of grinding
the faces of the poor.
Capitol hill leaders have not yet
been consulted, just as they were
not on the Supreme court enlarge¬
ment proposal.
Chairman Eccles’ statement was
not prompted solely by the slight
decline in price of federal bonds.
The administration is interested in
that too, but far from frightened—
actually the day Eccles made his
statement government 4 per cent
bonds sold at 112, and some 2 \\
per cent bonds sold at a fraction
over par, so the decline could Jaardly
be called a debacle.
The government is concerned
about this slight decline in prices
because the whole move is a straw
in the wind which, if it continued,
would result in higher interest rates.
The government does not want high¬
er interest rates, for two reasons. It
wants to keep its own interest pay¬
ments down, and it wants to en¬
able business to borrow as cheaply
as possible so as to encourage new
industries and greater employment.
Trial Balloon
So Eccles’ statement was not just
a trial balloon. It was a warning—
set up to make the impact less
dreadful when it comes, later this
year. The administration is gravely
concerned over the political and
economic effects of the continued
advance in the cost of living, al¬
ready set in motion by business re¬
vival, advances in wages and short¬
ening of hours. It fears something
approaching a buyers’ strike a lit¬
tle later when a great mass of con¬
sumers, with no pay raises, find
their incomes simply won’t stretch.
Hence the importance of budget
balancing, or at least a step in that
direction, so as to head off the fear
of actual currency inflation accel¬
erating price rises already resulting
from other causes.
But the really important point is
that the administration is de¬
termined on much greater spend¬
ing on relief to meet the situation
described by President Roosevelt
in recent speeches—for instance,
that so huge a percentage of the
population is still wretchedly
housed, ill-clad, undernourished and
generally below the level of a de¬
cent standard of living.
Roosevelt does not contemplate
ever eliminating federal relief. He
regards it as a certainty for all
time, regardless of whether there
be prosperity or depression. He
agrees with Harry L. Hopkins that
even in boom times there will be
something like 5,000,000 families
whose incomes must be supplement¬
ed by the government. He also
agrees with Hopkins that the gov¬
ernment has not scratched the sur¬
face in providing better housing.
