pumped for a plague on both their
houses, and decided to look elsewhere.
A Green appointment, too would estab-
lish definitely the ascendency of the
American Federation of Labor in the
administrations good graces, with cor
responding demotion of the railroad
brotherhoods. President Hoover and
the A. F. of L. went to the mat in No
vember, $780, when Mr.. Hoover chal-
lenged the organizations right to "dic-
tate" who should fill the Labor port
folio, thereupon awarded to the present
incumbent, William N. Doak, of the
Trainmen's Union. The federation and
the brotherhoodS are on speaking, but
not kissing, terms. Secretary Doak long
since was taken into the formers fold.
1t gave him a rousing welcome at the
recent Cincinnati convention. President
Green's accession to the cabinet would
not be an omen of recognition Of
Russia. which he bitterly opposes.
Nobody in the country will take a
livelier interest in Senator Cordell
Hulls bill to abolish tax-exempt Sc
curities than his plutocratic Michigan
colleague, Senator James Couzens. Dur
ing the torrid controversy he had with
Secretary Mellon three or four years
ago CouZens valiantly rejected the Mel
Ion taunt that heavy investors in tax
| exempt bonds, like himself, were largely
responsible for lean Treasury receipts.
The Wolverine Senator began buying
tax-free obligations while he was mayor
of Detroit, at time when few others
had sufficient faith in the city's
finances to do so. The motor metropo-
lis holds no grievance against Senator
Couzens for putting his money in in
veStments which produce no tax revenue
for Uncle Sam. Ever since Couzens
sold out his vast holdings in Ford motor
stock he has been Michigan's most
| lavish philanthropist. In 1882, in ad-
dition to his 100000 Community Chest
contribution, he gave $1,000,000 for De-
troit unemployment relief-a pretty good
record for tax dodger."
Labor, the rail workers vigilant and
virile weekly organ published in WASH
lngton, says there's good reason to be-
lleve that Jim Farley has asked Joseph
G. OMahoney of Cheyenne, Wyo., to
become his chief lieutenant as First
Assistant Postmaster General. OMaho-
ney Is an able young lawyer, described
as "a real Progressive" and very pop
ular with organized labor in wyoming.
One Of his claims to fame is that while
on vacation in the West he discovered
that Harry F. Sinclair and others were

committee Of the whole in the House
which voted to restore to the bill $301,.
600 OF the $599,500 by Which the Ap.
preparations Committee reduced the
budget estimates for the commission
They won out by a mere handful o1
votes, however, and a change Of nine
votes would have given the victory tc
the friends of the commission. While

The total amount left to the Federal
Trade Commission in the approximation
bill passed by the House was a little
more than $500, 900, or less than one
half Of the budget estimates. This will
doubtless give great Joy to those in
terests in the country on whose toes
the Federal Trade Commission has trod.
Some OF the Democrats who supported
the cut are urging that it Is the plan
Of the Roosevelt administration to re-
organize the departments and independ-
ent offices Of the executive branch of
the Government, and that the Trade
Commission Is to be made one Of the
bureaus Of the Department Of Justice or
the Department Of Commerce, and that,
therefore, 1t would be wise not to make
appropriations for the commission in
the sum estimated by the Bureau of
the Budget. If the Trade Commission
were made merely the adjunct of a
Federal department, with the full DO
litical implication that carries with it,
the usefulness Of the commission as
an independent non-partisan commits
son, to business and to the people, would
be largely eradicated. In the Senate,

pared to fight to restore to the COM
mission the appropriations which the
