In an attempt to raise professional status for engineers, the Engineers’ Council for Professional Develop- ment continued its nationwide in- spection of engineering institutes by visiting Armour on Wednesday, De» cembcr 12.

The start of re— covery, possibilities of the return of the N.R.A., labor difficulties, and the foreign situation are all bound— “front page” discussion. inc‘ into IT WILL NOT be attempted to cover the foreign problem—«our con- nections with the Spanish strife—in this article. However, it is interesting to note some of the broad ramifica- tions of the question. First, there is the possibility of a second World War. How can we keep ourselves from be- coming embroiled in such a strife as this bodes well to become? “Mind our own business" is a good watch-word, but can we follow it? And besides the physical problems of such a conflict, there are economic questions which we are even now bumpingupagainst, and which will have to be answered no matter how much or how little further the difficulty progresses. For- eign exports as well as their protec- tion, international trade agreements, who will be declared open and who closed to foreign trading, currency stabilization, international recruiting of men, and international business as— poets—all those and many more will have to be considered in the future. AND THEN comes the problem of 1 national recovery. All through Presi~l dent Roosevelt‘s message to Congress the note was sounded that recovery does not mark “finis” to the problems of the Administration. Instead, the old problems still need answering or rejuvenation of the old answers, and new problems of fully as deep an im- portance are now at hand. This atti- tude should certainly allay the fearsi of many~—and the hopes of many l others—that the government intendsl to ease up on its progressive pro- gram of regulation. .15 FAR AS his definite state- ments indicate, there are many ac- tions which require immediate atten- tion. These include the extension of a vast majority of past authorizations, neutrality regulations, expansion of authorizations in the direction of the old N.R.A. All of these will have the tendency of drawing a great amount of cross interest between government and industry in the next few months. PROBABLY THE most vexing ' problem at the present time is the la— bor situation, with unemployment in general and the labor strikes in par- ticular. The Seaman‘s Str (e, which has been discussed in a previous ar- ticle, seems to have settled down into a slow, evenly-mitigating hold-out. Day by day there are small conces- sions from either side, but still the strike wages on. However, into the limelight now has come the Glass strike and finally the General Motors strike. This last is one of the largest the country has seen for some time, and bids fair to compare with some of the strikes which have come down in history. Its far-reaching effects are only now beginning to be felt, as shown by the decline is all of the al- lied and contributing industries, which for the automobile industry are legion. l EACH SIDE claims that the other is masking the principal issues and then declares its own opinion as to the real issues; and both of them hedge and “beat around the bush” anyhow. General Motors claims that the strikers’ demands for hours and\ pay are only masks to cover up the real fact that the union wants a closed shop with all the workers paying trib- ute to hold their jobs. On the other hand, the union claims that General Motors’ statement at an attempt to keep an open and fair shop is only a mask for the attempt to keep the workers as an unorganized and weak group. And both are right in their claims and in their disparaging ar- guments, but both are avoiding the really fundamental and underlying principle of the conflict. GENERAL MOTORS’ employee He will, however, be initiated as soon as the officers of Tau Beta Pi decide upon the proper procruur;. Following: the initiation ceremonies, all active members, Dean l‘Ieuld, Pro- tus Leigh ofthefaculty,and Mr.0rm- burg and Mr. Trudellc of the alumni had dinner in the faculty grill. After dinner the group went to the Great Northern theater where they saw the W.P.A. production, “0 Say Can You Sing." The evening closed with sup— per in a downtown restaurant. W organization is analogous to that of a company union. The U. A. W. A. stands for the growing: policy of l“.— dusliial muons, such as the C. I. 0. To make the picture complete, the A. F. of L., although it is not an immu- diatc party, should be included, since it stands for the crafts union, wit the modification of coordination be- tween all unions. These three types form the cornerstones and yet the stumbling blocks for all labor org-an— ization.
