Arguments For And Against Arbitration
Washington January 4. Hearing before the senate legislative committee on railroad legislation to supplement the Adamson law was continued today with James Emery representing the National Association of Manufacturers and other employers organizations and Ralph M Eastley of the National Civic Federation as witnesses. Emery spoke for 5500 industrial plants in 25 states insisting on uninterrupted commerce while denying the bill would infringe the right to quit. Eastley opposed the arbitration list saying the Canadian disputes act had not proved successful and neither law now in effect would be improved. He noted no suggestion to prevent strikes, only to improve existing laws.
