"We have charted a new course in social engineering," said the United States President apropos the settlement of the threatened automobile strike. He may reasonably be suspected here of seeking a fine phrase to conceal what was a sheer stroke of opportunism. Certainly industrial relations boards are an old tale in the history of industrial relations. They already exist, for that matter, in several of the codes—cotton textiles, bituminous coal, trucking, construction, the graphic arts. However, since the expedient of today is the precedent of tomorrow, one may expect that such boards will shortly become the fashion throughout the codified industries.
