T A4 == UNION LABOR WAR SHOWDOWN S SEEN Cleavage Arising Between| Conservative Groups and Radicals. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Union labor stands at the cross-j roads. The truce decl over the week-end and the decision to create a National Agbitration Board to setile by | peaceful negotiation the disputes ihat | arise between employers and emploves is developing a cleavage between the | conservative groups in labor’s ranks, and the radicals The unwillingness of large numbers of coal miners in Pennsylvania to ac- cept even the temporary settlement and | the belief that communistic activities| are responsible for their attitude is in | line with the widely expressed view of labor observers that at last a show- down has come between the various elements that seek to control labor in America. Issue Is Revealed. ‘The resignation of Miss Van Kleeck of New York. from the Federal Ad- visory Council of the United States Em- ployment Service and her communica- | tion addressed to Secretary Perkins of the Depariment of Labor reveals the issue. Miss Van Kleeck says the Na- tional Arbitration Bourd takes away the power of collective bargalning from the working men. The Secretary of| Labor here woud contend that the law assures collective bargaining Disinterested observers are inclitied to the belief that there is much in Miss Van Kleeck's contention in so far as naticnal arbitration does pre possibility of Nation-wide stri the right to disturb industrial peace ir- respective of the Government or the public interest. To that extent the na- tional recovery act by its strict delega- tion of powers may grant labor the right of collective bargaining, but not the right to upset the applecart alto- gether and prevent national recovery Nobody, not even labor, has such a privilege under the N. R. A. plan There are radicals who believe labor should have the opportunity and should indeed go ahead to demand trom em- ployers the maximum advantages ir- respective of wh is ruins the em- ployer or the system of priv initiative. These radicals do not believe in the American tradition but in a new | form of workers’ control Labor leaders like the late Samuel Gompers and now William Green at the head of the American Federation of | Labor have always been sniped at and fought by the radical groups, and while in recent weeks the A. F. of L. has| sought to extend its membership aggres- | sively. the signature ol its leaders on the labor truce shows that Mr. Green and his colleagues are primarily inter- ested in the national welfare und not in producing industrial chaos The Government For Conservative. will naturally be found lending its moral and material support tc conservative labor lead- ers as against the radicals. National arbitration will be defended as a leglti- mate and honest wav to settle dis putes the precedent of the War Labor Board, in which labor und capital worked together i the common iuter est. will be cited, as justiftylug the action taken by Presideiit Roosevelt Naturally some of the radical labor groups do not like the personnel of Tiis National Arbitration Board. But 1t must have representatives of industry on it and these ure the men chosen by industry itself and accepted by the President. As for labor. these ure the men who lead the targest le labor tion I the count: tlett to te on work men the men on the National Arbitration Board represeut- ing labor would be overwhelmingly chosen. It is not. of course, the obli- gation of the President to appoiut labor agitators whose sole purpose is 1o frus- trate peaceful negotiations and bring on_widespread strike and lockouts But the problem will not eud with the appointment of the National Arbi- tration Board by the President. It will be the basis of further agitation in the ranks and there will be efforts to re- cruit members tor the left wing of the labor movement The conservative union leaders and their followers who saw America through the war have a job on their hands and one that will deserve the sympathy and keen under- standing of the employer group.

KANSAS CITY. August 8—In force- ful language, Secretagy of War George H. Dern last night told a Chamber of Commerce audience here that attempts to gain selfish advantage through the national recovery act will not be tol- erated. | While stressing the Government’s in- | tention to see no undue hardship is imposed upon smaller business men who | “may not be able to sign President Roosevell’s re-employment agreement immediately,” Secretary Dern voiced a warning to those who would interfere with the program, “It is with regret that I state that there has been some opposition and sonie criticism of this sct to rehabilitate industry and to restore milllons of men to the pay roll, and that some are | seeking selfish advantage.” Secretary Dern said. “This will not be tolerated. “My recent tour through the State: however, has convinced me that vast majority of Americans are enthusiastic in their support of the new program. They are not in a mood to brook very much open interference with it, or to be hospitable to the suggestion that the recovery act is too radical.” N. R. A.

After the enormous pressure of the past week, with Johnson and his staff working from 12 to 18 hours daily, there was a let-up yesterday, during which the administrator of the widespread movement to raise purchasing power| through increased wages and greater | employment, surveyed the progress. Summoning his staff about him, Johnson conferred at length gn impor- tant. »but undisclosed plans for a re- newed drive, He gave approval to temporary wage and hour provisions for the magazine | wet primary battery and paperboard manufacturing industries, and then lashed out &t “various rackets having | for their object the getting of money | in connection with the N.
