New York, May 30.-There seems no
question now that there will be a
labor bill this session of Congress yet.
That is the view in New York.

Strikes and riots might not have
occurred if large interests in New
York and Detroit and Pittsburgh and
elsewhere had not obstructed the bill
to try to prevent its passage--thus
holding it up.

The government needs immediate
and powerful agencies to bring
employers and employees together.
A revolution could begin in a steel
strike if the government did not have
the power legally to force arbitration.
And a steel strike is scheduled.

The bill, if and when passed, technically will be a victory for labor.
Morally, it will be a victory for the
people-its sponsors say.

Was White Right?

Governor George White of Ohio
has had an administration of disaster.

He was criticized for failing to close
Ohio banks earlier in 1933, then for
the rotten condition exposed in the
Ohio state banking department.

In the Toledo strike, he now is believed to have acted too abruptly, too
violently. (Washington is sure he
has-and wishes it could undo the
damage.)

When state troops use not tear gas
but gas that blasts out people's eyes,
when troops shoot to kill, and do kill,
in labor riots, then a question arises
as to where law and order actually
begins.

It begins, say the New
Dealers, in
correction of abuses.

And in so vast a rearrangement to
correct those abuses.

government must have the power, the
only power, say
the
New
Dealers.

When

refuse
to
treat
with men, when

breakers are
brought, when strikers attack strike-
breakers, troops will
only add fuel to
the flames.

Thus an all-powerful agency is needed to correct the evils--and to preserve the peace.

Silk was probably the earliest cause
of intercourse between Europe and
China.
