| J0B PROTECTION - UNDER . 5. URGED Gerard Swope, General Elec- tric Head, Would Stabilize Trade by Group. Enecial Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, September 17.—A plan whereby American industry would un- dértake to stabilize all its branches, un- der Federal Government supervision, and endeavor to protect its workers against unemployment, disability and | old age was submitted last night by Gerard Swope, president of the Gen- eral Electric Co., In an address broad- | cast a¢ the annual dinner of the Na- tional Electric Manufacturers' Assocla- tion here. Owen D. Young, chairman of the board of the General Electric Co., hailed the plan as one whose design “recognizes obligations to employes and to general economic stability which have only been academically discussed be- ore. Mr. Swope proposed that legislation be enacted to require all inustrial and commercial companies with 50 or more employes to form trade associations within thres years and to work toward establishing a balance between produc- tion and consumption through control of production within the ' associations. Each company would be obliged to adopt a uniform accounting system and submit quarterly an annual financial statement to a Federal Supervisory body. For the vrotection of employes the plan envisioned adoption of all com- panies of life and disability insurance, a pension system and unemployment insurance for all workers recelving $5,000 a year or less. All employes, after five years' ice, would be obliged to put aside at least 1 per cent of their earnings into the pension fund and a similar sum into the un- employment insurance fund. Furth more, they would match the employer, dollar for dollar, in the payment of premiums on life and disability insur- ance. These protective systems would be on the same basis in each branch of industry, thus equalizing competi- tive conditions. The plan offered pro- visions whereby an employe might carry with him his accrued benefits if he should change his employer, and it suggested management-employe partici- pation in ths execution of.the whole program. Retirement at 70. ‘The pension plan is based on retire- ment at half pay at the age of 70, and the unemployment insurance would provide half pay, up to a maximum of $20 weekly, to employes who were laid off. Under the plan each industry would form a general board of administration composed of representatives of em- ployer, employes and the public, the blic's representatives to be appointed E a Federal supervisory body. In a preample to his plan, Swope said co-ordination of produc was impossible under the present laws. Before asking for their amendment or Tepeal he thought industry should as- stre the public of the constructive na- ture of the steps it would take. “Organized industry should take the Jead,” he said, “recognizing its respon- sibility to its employes, to the public stockholders, rather than should act through its Government.” If the various States act, industry will be confronted 'lth“l‘lmer:llt solutions, llck_l.g:rd:nl- formity and imposing varying. s, making competition on a national scale difficult. If either the individual States Federal Government act, the taxation has no economic re- mld groaned with weather complaint ' fi THE EVEN “They Must H_‘f_‘Y'f‘ Work Unemployed Form Steady Steam Through Offices of President’s Relief Organization, Mistaking It for Employment Adgency. et pammynitien to [ start Ameriea's tndusirial ball valling. 150 (hat neb ane, But A1l YOURE Men, MAY | Angd the wark they aie woeking 1 The yeung wan i the Feeeption room didn't knaw what the affieial's 100 might be and veally didn's wmueh care, 30 long as he eould And & niehe I the worklng world for himself He also left the aMoe hapetully those walting quietly W the reception Toom, With missions of & mue A ferent nature, wondered wheiher the old lady and tre young man had | found thelr jobs.

Mr. , would be the first to from more stable prosperity, but he reminded Iiis’ audience that, “like all other things in this world, it demands its price,” and that price would be a surrender of some individual freedom. Chaos Without Set Plan. “Now, I am not saying that we should have an economic plan,” Mr. Young continued. “All I am saying is that we should have something for discussion, 50 as to see definitely what it costs. If the individual units of production are ready to surrender their liberty of ac- ton to the extent necessary to execute @ plan, then the further question arises 85 to whether the public is ready ‘to have them do so. We can retain in this cgountry unorganized individual plan- ;ing and operation, but if we do its ac- ton will necessarily be at times cha- |days, etic and we shall, as a result, pay the economic penalty for that disorder, such as we are paying now. “We can in this country have organ- f2ed economic planning with some cur- tailment of individual freedom, which, if the plan be wise and properly exe- Tuted, will tend to diminish economic disorder and the penalties which we pay” y. There was also, Mr. Young continued, the question to whom this individual freedom was to be surrendered, and that would be for the public to say. He welcomed the plan, “not as a final an- | swer to the problems with which it ! deals, but as a definitive proposal which will enable us to consider these prob- Jems intelligently.”” There were, he concluded, three courses open—to do Zxothing, to place upon industry the re- #ponsibility for the formulation and execution of a definite plan, to acqui- esce in the Government providing the means for employe protection through the power of taxation. Robertson Sees Goed in Plan. A. W. Robertson, chairman of the WWestinghouse Electric & Manufacturing ©Co., sald he had read the plan several fimes, but was not at all sure that he understood it completely. He thought the spirit of co-operation which it falled for would undoubtedly result in some specific concrete good, even if, in utting the plan into execution, flaws ere found in it. | Continuing, Mr. Robertson said: “The plan mentions but does ot ®laborate upon the need of planning #nd co-ordination between competing £om] jes, so that consumption and Production of goods may bs co-or- flinated or harmonized to the end that ®conomies may be made, overexpansion @voided and regularity of employment Pprovided. “Unless some method is provided so that factories may be operated more egularly than they have during the 25t few years (I refer to the fact that 3n 1928 and 1929 we were operating 4 hours a day every day and now we re operating eight hours a day three pr four days a week) any plan which ®tiempts to cure unemployment, pro- ¥ide pensions and insurance will be Jargely a failure. In the face of a winiversal demand for employment it Wwill be almost & joke.

Yet another judgment, heard in a few quarters, at least is that political Im- portance in » personal sense will be at- tached to this proposal for an American industrial “plan.” ‘Young Pushed for '32. Mr. Swope is president of the same company oF ‘which the chairman of the board of directors is Owen D. Young. While Mr, Young is not an aspirant for the Democratic presidential nomination in any sense that implies his own par- ticipation, it is & fact that Mr. Young is ing most earnestly put forward for that post by a considerable num- ber of persons. One of the most ear- nest of those who wish to see Mr. Young nominated by the Democrets is Mr. Swope, author of last night's speech. In the current gossip about such matters Mr. Swope is credited with eager zeal to see his business chief elevated to the White House. From this set of facts and surmises, politics being what it is, inferences are certain to arise. The writer of this dispatch made inquiries of persons very close to both Mr. Swope and Mr. Young and was convincingly assured that Mr. Young “had nothing. what- ever to do with Mr. Swope’s speech.” Nevertheless and inevitably, it will be assumed by the ungodly. and perhaps by some of the godly, that the presi- dent of the General Electric Co. would not conspicuously give forth ideas un- h‘lrm“llc of the point of view of this po- litical innuendo. however much or little there may be in it, there will be in- terest in seeing how Democratic leaders in public life react to this proposal for the stabilization of American in- dustry. Superficially, one would expect disapproval from Democrats of the old- fashioned type. The plan is pa- ternalistic to a degree never before seriously considered in America. How- ever, some Democrats, and some publicans as well, have recently moved so far away from the old ideal of individualism that perhaps the present proposal may not startie them. Problem for Industry. Mr. Swope starts with the principle that insurance of continuity of employ- ment is & matter for industry itself to provide, and not the Government. So far, that is identical with old-fashioned Democratic doctrine and old-fashioned American doctrine. however, Mr. Swope says that business, in order to insure continuity of employment, must have, immunity from the Sherman anti-trust law. He does not say this in so many words and he does not mention the anti-trust law, but he, as well as law- yers who advised in the prepara- tion of the plan, understood perfectly that the plan involves scrapping, or at least modifying, the anti-trust law. Some lawyers believe also, although others do not, that the plan would re- ‘was | quire modification of the Constitution. Some critics of the plan are alarmed to an extreme degree by Mr. Swope's proposed *“‘general board of adminis- tration” for each line of industry, GROSNER'’S 13 —we offer some real opportunities for sav- ings—regular priced for oOmo these pric FRIDAY ONLY Regular PCO To Finely tailored gar- ments with raglan or plain _ shoulders, some with half beited dac and _some form Aitting double breasteds.

National headquarters estimated that this school program would produce more than a mifllnn cans of foodstuffs for the needy. Chapters already have re- ported canning and saving several mil- lion jars and cans, and the national organization has distributed free more than a million of the containers, both cans and jars. In announcing this plan for the co- operative efforts of the boys and girls, the Red Cross suggests that it be car- ried out by the cooking classes in junior and senior high schools. - It was stated that the canning and drying should be carried on under the direction of persons trained in home economics.
