The “proposer” is the distinguish- ed Eric Johnston, one-time president of the U. S. Chamber of Cmmerce. In that capa- city he expressed the aims and purposes of American affairs—shall we say “better than other presidents of the organization.” In Johston’s opinion the existing meth- od of enacting labor legislation is trusted to the politicians. Politicians gave us the Wagner Act, ‘which business didn’t like,” says Johnston, and “the Taft-Hartley Act “Which ‘Tabor’ doesn’t like.” He expresses the belief that when labor laws are left to the judgment of Congress we get the kind of laws intended to influence the most votes—the “friends of labor or the friends of management.” He says that if labor “Sun” legislation is to remain in the hands of Politicians “we can despair of ever achiev- ing industrial peace. Johnston says labor unions exaggerated the virtues of the Wag- ner Act. Labor thought it wasa Magna Charta for the working man. Our industrial disputes look bad ‘in the eves of the World we are supposed to be leading; BUT—they look good in the eyes of those who think that our type of capitalism is doomed to failure. Bric John- ston knows exactly what he. is talking about: That's why. he said: 2 “The kind of impartial labor legisla- tion re are all hoping for can be drawn ‘Only OA the basisof rules agreed to by management, and jabor i in-advance of Con- gressional action.;The only men who can write impartial rules for labor and man- agement are the national leaders of both groups, acting in concert and determined above all else that henceforth politics shall not make a football out of industry dis.
