NRA, the long-time outgrowth of this tremendous industrial experiment seems plain enough. This will be abandonment of a great many details contained in the present plan and adherence to only a few of the prin- ciples now contained in the recovery act. The rest, eventually, will be dis- carded as unworkable. ‘The things which probably will re- main when the whole affair finally is shaken down will be the minimum- ‘wage and maximum-hour provisions and the child labor prohibition. These, generally speaking, are the factors in NRA which have attracted the most widespread support and caused the least trouble. A glimpse at the things which have brought discord and criticism dis- closes the NRA weaknesses, First of these is the famous sec- tion 7A, which was intended to clar- ify the labor situation. Its history shows that it is either not enforcible or is so drastic in tone that federal Officials dare not enforce it as a practical matter. To the average reader this collec- tive bargaining provision, inserted to please labor leaders, gives organized workers a tremendous advantage in dealing with their employers. Labor leaders have attempted to use it as a THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1984 if it ever had any business to be in business at all. But the NRA or any other law has never had much luck at chaning human nature. That is the real rock upon which the codes have crashed in the recent past and upon which they still are crashing. ‘The NRA.has done much for the American people and continued espousal of its general aims will do more, but that revision is needed in the light of experience is obvious. That President Roosevelt recognizes this is evident. He may be trusted to revise them in the spirit of realism which has dominated most of his other actions. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies. Attacking the Judiciary (Minot Daily News) While its members are elected by the people, the personnel of the North Dakota supreme court for many ‘years has been chosen without their political affiliations being brought into the bold relief and campaign issues made of them. Consequently the judges | could mount the bench, not conscious of feeling cbligated to any political party or faction, and therefore better quali- fied to dispense the highest type of justice. Unfortunately, that situation does not exist with respect to the coming election. That faction of the Nonpartisan League under the thumb of ousted Gov. William Langer is making a de- termined effort to seat three of its favorites upon the supreme court bench, men whom the faction’s cam- paigners say will be sympathetic with the policies that they expound. If the three are elected they will con- stitute a majority of the court, which consists of five members. Do North Dakotans want their highest judicial tribunal in control of men, who, if their most ardent sup- are to be believed, are to be Guided in the making of decisions or at least be influenced by the political considerations that may be involved ‘n_@ lawsuit? We think not. No man, whether he be Republican or Democrat, I. V. A. or Nonpartisan Leaguer, farmer, businessman or la- borer, expects to receive more than equal justice, and no one can honestly say that the supreme court in recent years has done other than honestly interpret the laws as they exist upon the statute books. ‘The interpretations may not always please some, but it is not the court's prerogative to make the laws. The People’s representatives, senators and representatives, make the laws, and to the judiciary is left the task of in- terpreting their meaning. So, when a situation is witnessed where @ political faction launches an attack on the court and asks support club for forcing memberships in labor unions, In large part they have suc- ceeded, But the task of winning recogni- for its candidates on the given im- pression that they will “sail along” with that group, that fact in itself raises the serious question of their fitness for the office. tion for the rights of minority labor} Except for the fact that the court Groups and the battle over company) by a four to one decision, the dissent- and federal unions appears no nearer|!Ng Opinion coming from a man completion now than for months|amed to the bench by the now ousted past.

These were intended to bring sweetness, light and profit to the business man upon whom additional costs were imposed by the minimum wage-maximum hour provisions, nity to “live and let live.” It has been much better in theory than in practice.

The few who manage to stick to the regimen lose perhaps three pounds a week. But they also lose something else. They lose ambi- tion.

N The NewDeal Washington BY WILLIS THORNTON ‘Washington, Oct. 3.—“Retain the good—throw out the bad!” That was the administration promise and pro- posal when most of the present emer- gency legislation was taken on for trial a year or two ago. Now, as the winter session of Congress looms, there are frantic efforts on all sides to comb through the alphabetical agencies and see what can be thrown to the critical lions as bad, and what may be ‘defended as undoubtedly NRA, which is floundering ‘badly, like a ship without either rudder or engines, is making such an examina- tion of itself. The real NRA organ- ization isn’t the one that was made the other day (into iegislative, ex- ecutive, and judicial branches). It’s the one that’s coming, the one to which advisers such as Moley, Swope, Johnson, Richberg, and pos- ‘sibly Baruch have been quietly bend- ing their energies. It’s the one that will come this winter, and you may be pretty sure that whatever is done before then is temporary. ‘This ahead-view is pretty well re- vealed by Secretary Harold Ickes, who spent nearly a whole day testi- | tod: fying before the special House sub- committee which is investigating the oll industry. Ickes made a plea for the petro- leum code and its accomplishments, ‘and concluded with a hope that “in- terest in oil conservation will not end with expiration of the code,” but that it would be continued on a| permanent basis, regardless of the ultimate fate of the code itself. ‘This House sub-committee, whose ;New world record by not having any and whose members are now en route to Oklahoma City, Dallas, and Los Angeles to finish them up in the field, will report to the full In- terstate and Foreign Commerce com- mittee some time after it reorgan- izes in mid-January. And the volume of by technical experts, field workers and executives of the caliber of Ickes and Walter Teagle and W. 8. Farish oi Standard of New Jersey will be compréhensive basis for a really per- manent control policy for this in- dustry. All of which is about the best hint that can be thrown out for the fu- ture of other great industries so f: as permanent, longtime policies may be expected. THICK MIST OVER NRA So far as the immediate future of NRA is concerned, the confusion and augmented by the sudden, if not un- expected, resignation of the fi Gen. Hugh Johnson. When President Roosevelt him- self says the future of NRA is to be an evolution, passengers on the ship may be pardoned a certain in- Gefiniteness about the course.
