RICHARD ST0RRS CHILDS IS YALE
 TAP MEMBER
Childs Was Critic of Senior Societies, But Scroll and Key Took Him in Yester- day

New Haven, Conn, May 15.-OP) Various interpretations were placed to-day upon an incident which. made what probably was the last Yale tap day memorable one -the tapping of Richard Storrs Childs of Norfolk. Conn, and his ac- ceptance.
 Childs, who became a minor hero among the radicals of the campus when he dared to attack the pow erful senior societies in the Hark- ness Hoot, independent undergradu- ate periodical, accepted the tap of scrool and key--but he, forced the keys" man to come to his room to perform the traditional rite instead of accepting 1t among the milling juniors on the campus.
 Undergraduates, held different opinions as to the significance of the incident. Some believed scroll and key, reputed one of the highest and mightiest of the exclusive so- cieties, had stopped. to bid in its critic. Others held Child's flaming idealism had weakened under the spell of the secret society's over ture. Should keys" have insisted Childs accept his tap on the campus according to time-hallowed tradition or refused to take him in," was a question often discussed.
 In all events, Childs will become, according to his own much-quoted expression, a "campus elk". He was one of 60 tapped from among the 585 juniors. Most of the "fav- ored" were athletes, campus activity leaders or socially prominent stu dents. Eugene O'Neill. Jr,. son of the playwright, was chosen by skull and bones. .

LABOR PREPARED FOR STRIKES TO
 STOP WAGE CUTS
President Green of Ameri- can Federation Claims Workers Have Done Their Share to Halt De- preSSiOn

l Washington, May 15.-(UP)-Or- ganized labor is fully, prepared to re- sort to strikes if necessary to pre- vent depression of wage scales. Will liam Green. president of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, has in- formed the United Press.
 i Amplifying the statement issued "Wednesday by the executive council of the federation, in which resort to strikes was hinted at and several large companies were sharply critt- cized for wage cuts, Green said: | we feel that we are being driven to the point where we must resist attempts of employers to reduce wages, even though it may be neces- sary for workers to go on strike, Because employers assured the president of the United States they would maintain wages, we feel there l. is a moral obligation on all employ CTS to carry out that understanding. It was made with the chief executive of the nation and given in response to an official request he made to em- ployers and to labor"
 l The labor federation has repeated II ly maintained that 1t has done its utmost to keep its part of the agree l as far as possible. While 1t is con- ceded that local strikes will occur in Individual mines and factories and that in the last analysis the fedora tion is without power to do more Ithan withhold its support from such q strike, President Hoover has from timet time remarked on the virtual absence of labor trouble during the depression.
 Green said labor leaders were ex- 1 tremefy reluctant to abrogate the agreement not to strike, but intimat- | ed that if the pact Is broken on a wide scale by employers, there may be nothing fro labor to do but strike las a measure of elf-preservation. There has been no White House comment on the implicit threat in the statements of the executive council and Green himself.
 According to federation figures. the 1921 depression was marked by 2,40O strikes. In the present epler- gency, admittedly more severe. there are not more than 70 labor disputes now before the department of labor for arbitration, according to Hugh l.. Kerwin, director of conciliation, Of these disputes, he said, not more than 50 per cent were strikes None of them are nationwide or affect an entire industry.
 On the basis of these figures labor proudly insists 1t has kept its prom ise to the president. On the other hand 1t cites many cases of wage Productions. some slight. some drastic which 1t charges are in idrect viola ton of the agreement.
 H Since Green has been head of the federation, and to some extent under the late Samuel Gompers. or ganized labor in this country has pursued a. markedly conservative policy. with maximum of coopera- ton with capital and an avoidance of strikes wherever possible.
 This policy has led to severe criticism of the federation and itt leadership by ieft-wing laboritee lwho say 1t has degenerated into lit tie better than an association oi l"conpany unions," with no light lef'
