Perkins Sees Labor Problem Resolved by Mediation Not Force
Bruce Catton records Frances Perkins arguing that the labor problem begins after the Wagner act, requiring government mediation over force. She favors arbitration only by voluntary means, clear contracts, and government aid to conciliate disputes, not compel. She warns against wage or hour fixing and likens collective bargaining to a difficult early marriage.

Merger Movement Plan Under Study
The 79th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States debated union with the Northern church. It voted down ending the movement and left 88 presbyteries to decide whether to abolish the Permanent Committee on Cooperation and Union. The assembly issued 110 recommendations but no basis for reunion was adopted. Key figures cited the plan as risking evangelistic goals while opposing or supporting the merger due to overlapping synods and internal tensions among regional leaders.
