By ROBERT PERLMAN
EACH DAY brings the Wagner Act into sharper
focus as the point in New Deal legislation that
lies at the center of the most fundamental prob-
lem of our times. The National Labor Relations
Act seems to epitomize two aspects of that
problem.
On the economic front, the Act symbolizes the
attempt of workers to meet their employers on
an equal plane by acting collectively (through
unions) in the bargaining relationship. On the
political side, the Act reflects labor's effort to
legally enforce (through the government) a
"right" that was an inevitable outgrowth of
large scale private industry where control of
the machine rests in the hands of a few owners.
Long before the labor board found the Republic
Steel Corporation guilty of violation, long before
the Harlan County coal operators ran afoul of
the new law, in fact ever since its passage in
1935, employers have attested to the basic im-
portance of the Wagner Act by carrying on a bit-
ter fight through the courts and through the
newspapers.
Both those avenues of attack have proved blind
alleys and now the battle rages in Congress, where
the attempt is being made to scuttle the Act by
passing "amendments" that will be fatal to the
real purpose of the law-the protection of the
right to organize and bargain collectively.
Certain leaders of the American Federation
of Labor, terrified at the growth of industrial
unionism, are presenting the sad spectacle of
openly collaborating with anti-labor employer
groups in the murder of the act-this despite
the repeated expression by many local AFL
bodies of the desire to preserve the Act as it
stands.
Meanwhile pressure groups and individuals
throughout the nation are lining up on one side
or the other, for there is no "objective" and
"impartial" middle road here.
Among those who have contributed to the dis-
cussion is Reverend Father Sebastian Erbacher,
President of Duns Scotus College, Detroit, who
began a recent radio talk by citing this quota-
tion from an address by the Most Reverend
Archbishop Mooney of Detroit.
" ...labor organization, sound and responsible
organization on democratic principles, is not
merely something which the Catholic Church
accepts as an inevitable development of our in-
dustrial society, it is something which she whole-
heartedly approves, something for which she has
a definite set of moral principles, something for
which her Popes have been crying for generations
like a voice of a prophet in the wilderness of
'laissez faire,' something which she earnestly
commends to worker and management alike as a
remedy for the evils of industrial life which
press upon us and as a preventive for greater
evils which threaten."

Father Erbacher continued with an excerpt
from an Encyclical by Pope Pius XI in which
were condemned the actions of those tolers of
governments who, "while readily recognizing
and patronizing similar corporations among oth-
er classes, with criminal injustice denied the in-
nate right of forming associations to those who
needed them most for self-protecton against
oppression by the most powerful."
Pointing out that "contrary to much editorial
forecasting," the Commission sent by the Presi-
dent to England to study industrial relations
"has not suggested any changes in the present
labor legislation" of this country, Father Er-
bacher goes on to consider the proposed "amend-
ments" to the Wagner Act.
Quoting from Senator Wagner, Father Er-
bacher answers the proposals to make the Act
less "one-sided." In Senator Wagner's words
these moves are "designed to destroy the equality
of bargaining power that the labor act strives
to make possible and to restore the gross inequal-
ity that existed when the isolated worker stacked
his pitiful weakness against the gigantic strength
of consolidated capital."
As for the proposal of Senators Burke and
Walsh to submit labor board decisions to the
review of the courts (even now Board rulings
are subject to appeal in the federal courts),
Father Erbacher points to the statement by Sen-
ator Wagner that this procedure "would enable
a party to shuffle every point in a case back
and forth continually between district court
and Labor Board, to the eternal delay of the
workers seeking to vindicate their rights."
Replying to the efforts of AFL officials to de-
prive the NLRB of the power to invalidate con-
tracts, Father Erbacher includes a statement
that this would "permit an employer to enter
into a contract with a labor organiztaion even
though he utilized unfair labor practices pre-
scribed by the Act, permit an employer to make
a contract with a minority union and use this
contract as an excuse not to bargain with any
other union."
Taking up finally the accusation that the
Board is "unfair" and "prejudiced," Father Er-
bacher points to the record of the NLRB in the
courts, particularly the United States Supreme
Court, where Board procedure has again and
again been upheld as sound and equitable.
Thus speaks a radio priest who understands
the needs of the people-a priest who insists that
we take no steps backward but move forward
in our social thinking and legislation.
The Wagner Act has aptly been called 'a
barometer of democracy in the United States."
Emasculation of the Act means stormy weather
ahead for the American people. Its preservation
means the strengthening of the democratic prin-
ciple in this country-one of the last influential
strongholds of that doctrine.

The Problem Of
Old Age Security ...
A NY FUTURE that might have been
anticipated for the Townsend Plan
was virtually destroyed last Thursday when the
House of Representatives decisively defeated the
Pension Bill. The defeat meant more than the
end of what appeared to be an illogical scheme
for insuring the security of the aged in the
United States: for thousands of elderly persons
the defeat was the end of a beautiful dream of
secure, sufficient old age.
Whether or not the Townsend Plan was illogi-
cal is not of the greatest importance; nor is the
question of whether Dr. Townsend himself be-
lieved his plan to be practical. There were un-
doubtedly many who supported the plan because
of personal selfishness, but the fact that three
million dollars in dimes were paid to Townsend
Clubs by so many of the nation's old people in
hard times is surely an indication that many of
our aged fear what is a very uncertain future.
Old age is a bleak prospect for the great major-
ity of the people. Years of little productivity are
years of little income and years of meager exis-
tence. And because it is not reasonable in a world
in which a man has great trouble living from
day to day to expect him to save enough for the
later years of life, there must be some means of
insuring old age security.
Old age pensions, as they exist in most of the
states, are unreasonably low, ranging from eight
and ten dollars to twenty-five or thirty dollars
per month. Relief roles include long lists of old
folks who have no legal claim to old age assist-
ance from the state. And there are many who,
because of ownership of personal property for
which they may have worked years, are denied
any assistance at all.
The Social Security plan has been a progres-
sive step toward establishing a sort of security for
old persons. But even that system will not be
able to offer much to the individual unless he has
enjoyed a life of great productivity, under which
circumstances he will probably have little need
for the few dollars offered him. The working
man with an average yearly income of $1,500
can expect little more subsistence.
The support given the Townsend Plan indi-
cates a great need and demand for some form of
collective security in old age. How such a security
can be assured is a problem which is from ex-
perience difficult to solve, but the need does
exist.

complete its list of seniors for pre-
sentation to the Regents prior to
Commencement. The office also will
greatly appreciate it if the other re-
ports of students' grades are made
within five days after the examina-
tions are conducted.
It is further recommended that
grades of I and X be used more spar-
ingly than in the past. At present
about 8-10 per cent of prospective
graduates and about 600 non-grad-
uates generally receive grades of I
and X. This relatively large number
mkes it difficult for the Administra-.
tive Board, the various counselors,
and the Registrar's Office to evaluate
the work of the students concerned.
The Registrar's Office has asked me
to express to the members of the
Faculty its appreciation for the
promptness with which grades have
been reported in the past, and it is
confident that this cooperation will
continue during the current exam-
ination period.

ADDRESS TO THE LIVING by John Holmes,
N.Y.
THE POET'S WORK by John Holmes, N.Y.
Th publication in 1937 of Address to the Living,
a first volume of poems by a poet already familiar
to the magazine readers, drew immediate recog-
nition to its author as an authentic and rich
lyricist. With the appearance of his second
volume-this one about poetry-we have an
opportunity for pausing to survey the accomplish-
ments and prospects of an already widely recog-
nized poet.
John Holmes has found a wide success in the
better magazines-JPoetry, The Yale Review, The
Atlantic, Harper's-and has' served for some
years as the Poetry Critic for (Mr. Eliot's) Boston
Evening Transcript. Last year he was awarded
the Annual Golden Rose offered by the New
England Poetry Association for the most dis-
tinguished volume of poetry of 1937 by a New
England Poet-an award that has been held by
Robert Frost, Archibald MacLeish and---alas,
Robert P. Tristam Coffin.
In the foreword to his first ' volume, John
Holmes defined for himself that experience
which is poetry:
Poetry is what sight would be to the'blind,
speech to the dumb, walking to the crippled,
and life to the condemned: but you and I
see, speak, walk, live, and we have poetry.
And his work has remained true to that. It is
the poetry of joy for the best of reasons-that of
being alive. It catches one in the title poem-
Address to the Living:
We are the living on this keel of earth,
Who hail the convoy stars across the night,
Or feed joy's bird, and stroke his folded
wings,
Then fling him flying toward the stream
of light.
We are the living; daylight in our eyes;
Earth under heel; and in the mouth a word;
Fire in the fingers; question in the mind;
And round the throat a slowly tightening
cord.'

And I am rich with life that I remember,
Thinking of letters, hedges, lamps at night,
Thinking of sun, of empty churches, autumn,
Long hair let down, shining and softly
light.
Add to these a sure instinct for the right, the
fresh and surprising word, and you lave a genu-
ine poet. The words are given work to do and do
it amazingly well:
The dawn, enchanted and unchallenged hour,
Widened to day. The air of morning stirred
So fresh across my face that I was well,
And glad to be outdoors awake. I heard
Till noon the bells that quartered every hour.
Working, I wasted hope and words and hate.
Although my windows faced the timeless sky,
A.calendar insisted on the date.
I have had the pleasure of following John
Holmes' work since his first volume-some of it
in the magazines and much in manuscript-and
the advance it shows is sure and positive. With
no loss of his early vitality he has broadened
and deepened. To the first quick lyricism he
has added a surer, harder sense not only of his
own world, but of every man's world. And he has
been able to do it with no loss for the simple reas-
on that he is a poet, and will die a poet, and
realizes all things through, the poet's eye.
It is this which lends validity and value to the
Poet's Work, a book about poetry, for it is his
life that he is writing in each of the five sections:
The Poet's Worlds, The Poet's Knowledge, The
Poet's Difficulties, The Poet's World, The Poet's'
Nature. Or rather it is his own life plus the most
memorable expression of the lives of great writers
of all time, for each section consists of an essay
by the author plus a compilation of quotations
from widely varied sources-Menander to Robert
Frost, and Christopher Morley to John Donne.
It is no mere collection of excerpts however.
Years of careful reading and marking of those
memorable passages where an author breaks the
vital surface of life upward have gone into it, and
each section is bound together by an essay written
in a distinct, quick prose, flavored by the ghost
of hard New England idiom. The whole adds up
to a book that will open up new ranges to the
beginner and recapture for those who have
once found it the meaning of poetry. Whether one
reads it through or dips in at random, it is a book
to own and keep and re-read, and another valu-
able item on what one suspects will be a long
and honorable shelf of books by this author.
