Labor machinery needs reorganizing in United States
In this column David Lawrence argues for a major reorganization of federal labor policy. He criticizes the lack of a comprehensive fact finding approach after wartime labor strife and calls for separating judicial and administrative functions, removing political influence, and creating a new department of public welfare to run an expanded department of labor focused on conciliation and mediation with trained mediators. He warns against relying on single figures or ad hoc fixes and stresses preventive labor policy reforms.
