VILONARY LR PN IS SHAGEED | | Extent to Which Business| Can Make Agreement | Is Question. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. To what extent can American busi- ness units make a voluntary agreement. with the United States Government to preserve certain standards of hours and wages and in return get the prifi- | lege of agreeing among themselves to fix prices and, if necessary, limit out- put? This broad question underlies the snag that the proposed extension of | an abbreviated N. R. A. has encoun- tered in Congress and is almost as | fundamental from an economic stand- | point as the Supreme Court decision in the Schecter case was basic from a constitutional viewpoint. Behind the scenes working with this problem in the utmost secrecy has been for several days a committee of the so-called Roper council. whose official name is Business and Advisory | Oouncil of the Department of Com- | merce. President Roosevelt sent word to the Roper council a week ago that he wanted a plan or program sug- | gested. One Central ldea. All sorts of plans have been under consideration. but there is one central idea, which has not yet been placed | before the Roper council’s full mem- bership, and which touches vitally the | { hasty conclusions, What’s What Behind News In Capital Effects of N. R. A. Demise Likely to Vary With Each Industry. BY PAUL MALLON. A. will have on business is a confidential study prepared by New Deal economists for the guidance of officials. It indicates that a lot of people are jumping to that many pre- vailing notions are exaggerations. The economists did not concern themselves with imagining future business psychology or calculating labor sentiment. They set out to find what could be reasonabdly ex- pected in each major industry irom scrapping the code of that industry, particularly as to prices, hours, wages, earnings. | HE best guide as to what effect | the dismantling of the N. R. Their conclusion was that about seven industries may be adversely af- fected, four or five benefited, and the great bulk presumably unmoved for the present. Effects to Be Different. The overlooked fact discovered by the economists was mantling of N. R. A. will probably affect each industry in a mild and different way because the N. R. A itself had a mild and different tency in each industry. For instance, the price-fixing fea- tures were not included in most codes, po- that the dis- | | ville, THE EVENING M. £ CONFERENCE NAMES MINISTERS Appointments in Baltimore Region Made at Last Session Here.

By the Associated Press. A roll call to end the long Senate controversy over the Wheeler-Rayburn bill to eurb public utility holding companies appeared imminent today With debate limited, Senator Wheel- er, Democrat, of Montana, co-author | of the measure, predicted it would be | approved and sent within a few hours to the House. There another stiff battle appeared in the making. Some Representatives planned an attempt to substitute taxation as the method for dissolving unwanted holding com- panies instead of allowing the Securi- ties and Exchange Commission to order dissolution. Few Amendments Seen. Senator Wheeler said a few “clari fying” amendments might be adopted by the Senate, but he expected the measure to be passed with its principal provisions unchanged Final debate found Senators dis- | putting the intent of section 2 of the bill. which has been described by | some as a provision to eliminate | holding companies in five to seven years, Wheeler said in a radio ad- dress last night that the section at- | tempts only to “whittle down the size and power and complication of these giant corporations until the Federal and State commission can be a match for them.” v of voluntary acceptance by v | Paul Sampson; Seat Pleasant, Paul!from the coll A genersl view at the 136th annual commencement of Georgetown University, whi theory of voluntary D have been drepped recently or have | ege and the law school & s ¥, which took piace in front of Large holding companies heretofore American business and industry of a certain measure of Federal control. If the step is taken voluntarily. of eourse, the constitutional difficulties disappear. and the only question aris- | ing then is how to make the arrange- ment effective, particularly as to those units in a given industry which refuse to enter into the pact It is within the power of Congress to regulate commerce by forbidding trusts or monopolies or restraints of trade. It is, therefore, within power of Congress to make exemptions from the anti-trust laws. as has been done repeatedly in the case of labor unions and farm organizations of a co-operative character. The present discussion centers around the idea of a swap whereby industrial groups will agree to certain Federal proposals and will be given certain privileges in return. The vague wording of the resolution to extend the N. R. A. for nine months would seem to permit the President to sanc- tion such agreements. Question of Economic Effects. S0 with the question of legal valid- ity disposed of. the question turns to economic effects. The Roosevelt ad- ministration, being interested in curry- ing favor with labor unions, is. of eourse, going to insist that any who ®ign the voluntary agreements must put themselves under the authority of boards or tribunals regulating hours, wages and working conditions. But what would industry get out of it> Obviously. a privilege that virtually amounts to monopoly. First, if anti-trust law exemptions are made possible, then concerted activities on the part of producers to fix prices, to limit. output, to discriminate with ref- eérence to competitors, all become an advantage which the group submitting ftgelf to such a program would enjoy over a group that does not come into the plan. The Government, on its part. could withhold Government contracts from producers who didn't accept the vol- untary plan and by other indirect methods compel adherence. Also there is talk of using the taxing power to impose penalties on those who re- frain from the “voluntary” plan. Consumer Pays for All. What is the effect on the consumer? He pays for it all. He pays for the higher prices, he pays for the ineffi- ency of the high cost members of the voluntary group, who, of course, want a price high enough to protect their inefficiency. and he pays for the enormous profits which the low-cost producer in any such voluntary group makes because the price fixed has to be high enough to take care of high cost units. This kind of economics has beeo at the heart of the N. R. A. from the beginning. It has been denounced by such disinterested agencies as the Brookings Institution as a barrier rather than an aid to recovery. As for those business men who want it. some of them are willing to exchange anything for a chance to make profits without the necessity of fierce compe- | would be | tition. They, of course, glad to shorten hours, pay high rates of wages and satisfy almost any de- the | | true of auto manufacturing, lumber, food products, household products, machinery, paper. A few industries had generally high- er standards of wages than the N. R. A. standard, notably. aircraft, chem- icals. Some were monopolistic and already had fairly good trade under- ! standings, such as steel. aluminum, chemicals. Some have strongly or- ganized labor groups and their labor standards are based primarily on this fact., rather than N. R. A, building | trades for one. The drug trades were never fully codified. The complicated code for motion pictures and theaters was not well enforced. The ultilities have never operated under N. R. A. ne of these industries, therefore. is ‘ex- pected to be affected materially. Adverse Effects Seen. The few industries which may be adversely affected are those whose beneficial relationships with N. R. A. have been advertised widely, namely, | cotton textiles, bituminous coal, liquor, | fertilizer, copper. glass containers. These are the ones which were pre- viously suffering from sharp cut- throat competition, and were weakly | organized. | The ones which may be benefited are office equipment, railroad equip- imen"' retail trade, utilities and poe- | sibly railroads. | to profit from reduced costs. A mark- down of retail merchandise is expected, but this will come in a slack season and is expected to increase the volume of sales in the long run. From these facts the conclusion is obvious that mot oniy have the codes varied for each industry, but compliance has also. There are 557 codes signed. 200 sup- | plements, affecting about 20.000.000 ‘peoplr. The largest number of codes | covered manufacturing industries, but | more than half of the total number of persons supposed to be affected were in localized operations, retall stores, | restaurants, hotels, laundries, con- | struction operations. The extent of compliance in this phase of N. R.

Buyers Strike. What the sponsors of the theory forget, on the other hand. is that buyers have a way of striking and doing without things that go too high in price and that they also find sub- stitutes that are cheaper, so that un- less all products that compete with a given group of producers are also un- der voluntary control the scheme collapses. Members of Congress are girding for the fray this week. Men like Senators Borah and Nye have been fighting the N. R. A. for more than 8 year on the ground that it means the extinguishing of small businesses and the encouragement of monopoly. but. those Senators have never had the opportunity to get so clear and convincing a case of how monopoly it encouraged than in the plans being discussed to waive anti-trust laws in exchange for the granting of certain concessions of a political or social character sought by the administra- | tion so as to vindicate its N. R. A. philosophy. The administration, on the other hand, probably will get the power it wants from Congress and then if the | whole thing doesn’t work the business men who conceived it will be blamed as the “selfish” and “monopolistic” groups who broke it down.

C., June 10 (#.— The United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the fourth district today ruled that the privilege of degucting charitable donatfons from gross in- come by individuals does not extend to corporations. The court's decision reversed the United States Board of Tax Appeals, which had permitted the Washington Evening Star to deduct Community Chest fund donations from its tax returns for 1929 and 1930. The commissioner of revenue had appeals from the board's decision. | Observers are undecided whether it is an admonition to the venerable i justices or to the New Deal. as it was erected after the N. R. A. decision. D. C. Prosperity Noted. The New Deal certainly has brought | prosperity to Washington if nowhere else. Tourist traffic has increased about 30 per cent above last year, ac- cording to the Smithsonian Institu- tion, where a check is maintained. A total of 2.400,000 visitors crowded into town last year. The Smithsonian estimate in- | dicates there will be close to 3,000,~ | 000 this year. A single group of 100,000 Shriners is here now. | Building permits reflect the housing | shortage. In the first five months of this year they were: J&nuary. $757,~ 000: February, $833,000; March, $1.668,000; April. $1365000; May, $2,611,000. For the entire year of | 1934 they amount to only $9.671.000. | Back in the old days (1931) they averaged around $30,000,000. The pleasant economic surround- ings in which the New Deal works are also indicated by bank clearings. For the first five months of 1935 they | amounted to $436,000,000, as com- pared with $350,000,000 last year. In 1929 they were $500,000,000 for the | first quarter. | But the trick in it is that. with | business so much better, there has | been no appreciable lessening of the | number on relief.

Just remember that the less time spent in argument the more time there will be for help and investigation. A burs of temper is never conducive to s calm appraisal of facts. Make it a point to jot down the following items: 1. Name, sex and address of al persons involved. 2. Names and addresses of all wit- nesses. 3. License numbers of autos in- volved. 4. Exact location, date and time. 5. Weather and road conditions. 6. Extent of injury and property damage. . Make a rough diagram showing position of cars. It is & serious offense, punishable by laws of all States, to run away after injuring & person. Take the injured to nearest doctor's office of hospital and then report at once to the police. 8 »
