The Connecticut labor news., 1924-11-15

7 Although there are many runors
 afloat that involve the entire cabinet m
 the determination to quit, the first open
 breach is in the Labor department where
 Secretary James J. Davis has bluntly
 asked the president to relieve him of the
 duties of the office on March 4 next
 when the presidents real term begins
 MT. Davis gives no reason for his re-
 quest but 1t IS understood here that he
 has not been in sympathy with the ad-
 uinistration's attitude towards Labor
 and other matters affecting the workers
 whom he is supposed to represent in the cabinet and has therefore decided to al
 low Silent Cal to pick some other moreS sympathetic to his views that is MT Da- wis. The secretary was appointed by the late President Harding as a recog- nized representative of Organized Labor having arisen through the steel industry from its lowest job and held many of fees in the steel industries unions. Harding was openly Tn sympathy with Organized Labor evEn though he didn't perhaps dare to express 1t Tn action fur ther than the selection of Mr. Davis Coolidge on the other hand is known to be a foe of Labor and therefore MT. Davis must certainly feel out of place in the cabinet. iThe attempt to caiole La bor into believing the administration friendly by the packed meeting of mis- representative Labor men on Labor Day at the White House disgusted not only the country but apparently Mir Davis so he after summing 1t all up is going to quit He will not of course create a rumpuss by telling the country his real reasons for getting out. Therefore he is giving no reason so as not to embar- ras the president.
 Another about whom gossip says is about to quit is Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes, who it is said cannot afford to keep the job on the sal ary any longer. Immediately howl of protest goes up from Republican papers all over the land who see in Hughes the actual president and Coolidge the string butler only and fear that if Hughes quits then Cal will fall into a slough from which he and the party cannot gef out They put out that Hughes could easily make $3O0,O00 year as big cor poration lawyer and would earn ii for getting in their anxiety that it was just such terms as were used to Knock" William Gibbs McAdoo and John w Davis when the democrats put them forth as candidates for the presidency
 But like Alexander the Great, Hughes S probably sick of, the job now because ,e has no more worlds to conquer. Af- CT being repudiated by the people as president Hughes finally became the ac- uaI president if not in name when Harding died and Coolidge succeeded to he office. As secretary of the state he leld the reins and is holding them yet o actually conquered the United States ven though the people wouldn't elect jim their head Then, again "Unofi- tally" he takes trip to Europe and had he crowned heads of the countries over 1ere backing into his presence instead f his backing into theirs because he epresented our money power and they eeded our money badly. So he helped long the misnamed Dawes plan, unoffi- tally all the time but with wink in his ye so conquered Europe and now there nothing more for him to conquer so e is going to quit
 Next comes Secretary Wilbur of the Iavy who lost his side kick Little Teddy roosevelt who resigned as assistant sec \ fContinued on Page Seyen.1
