...auto- mobile manufacturers will not voluntarily agree to any program permanently satisfactory to the American Federation of Labor. The feud between the automotive industrialists and the labor executives is too deep for that. Furthermore, the Weirton Steel Corporation case and other similar company union fights have made it obvious that a dispute revolving around this issue never is really settled by an employes' election...

The former would be an obvious duty; the latter would be a grave mistake. For, let there be no misunderstanding, any sincere and scientific investigation of this kind merits support as a courageous effort to supply data on an important subject which has been needlessly and unintelligently obscured. All that any sensible man can ask is that there be certain definite evidence of responsibility. It would...
