BY GENEVIEVE PARKHURST.

= ONE 20 years or more ago there
lived in the vicinity of Washing
ton Square, New York City, a
~ group Of young idealists. For
the most part they were budding
authors, art students or welfare work
ers. their eyes on the ascendant star
and their hearts af1ame with the
avowed purpose of making the world
a fair place in which to live. They
worked in the daytime. In the evenings
they formed a forum for fervent dis
cussion of the road leading to their
Utopia.
1t was about this time that Frances
Perkins, now industrial commissioner
of the State Of New York, came to
town. No one in the group had much
money, so their pleasures were simple
"a boat ride or a picnic at one Of
the uuieter beaches, an occasional show,
viewed from the purlieus Of the GAL
lery.
One Sunday Frances Perkins, with
Sinclair Lewis as her escort, took ride
to Staten Island. Returning they no
ticed a girl sitting alone on the boat,
unsophisticated and quiet. A young
man in passing spoke to her and she
seemed bewildered. But she returned
his smile, and soon he was sitting be-
side her. Frances Perkins watched
them. There was something wistful
and unsure about the girls attitude as
the young man became more persistent.
Finally his arm was around her. When
the boat docked and the two walked
off together, hand in hand, they were
followed by Frances Perkins and Sim
clair Lewis, who trailed them into the
subway, out to the Bronx and through
door Of anortypent house
IF you are not going to do some
thing about this" announced Frances
Perkins to Sinclair Lewis, II am. That
lovely girl is not going to have her life
spoiled. That boys intentions are none
too good, 1 know"
In no uncertain terms Sinclair Lewis
demonstrated with the young man. The
girl took up the cudgel. What business
was 1t Of his? How dared he, she
asked, interfere with a respectable
young married couple?
But our young reformers were not
so easily put aside. The superintendent
was called in. Sure they're married, !"
said he. "and fine young couple they
are"
Learns Her Lesson.
This is an incident which Frances
| Perkins relates with relish There and

Never to attack situation without

And 1t Is this refusal to accept sur

| termination to strip a situation down
to the core, to get at facts and figure
before taking action-it is these which
have become her outstanding abilities

and he elaborated his views in subse-
quent messages to the Assembly Al
though he had always bene affiliated
with the wing of the party which had
resisted virtually all efforts to disturb
the status quo. he did not hesitate to
depart from Organization" policy when
the time came. To the dismay of "the
boys" whose withers were severely
wrung at the thought of separation
from the pie counter, his program en-
braced various reforms which they had
fought bitterly in earlier days.
But the most unusual thing OF all Is
that the program went through almost
without hitch Measures which had
been defeated time after time when
they had been proposed by others were
adopted with whoop. The House,
with 100 members. cast no more than
Is votes against any Of the Byrd bills,
while the Senate, with 40 members,
could muster no more than six opposi-
| ton votes at any one time. A number
of the measures went through both
branches unanimously.
| This extraordinary record can be ex-
planned only in terms of the personal
magnetism and widespread popularity
of Gov. Byrd himself. His ability
| for handling men is one of his most
noteworthy attributes, and the way he
handled that Legislature in 1926 was
sufficient to convince the most hardened
skeptic. The legislators sat as if hypno-
tized. Everything the Governor asked
for was granted at once.
| Two years later Mr. Byrd put through

presented to the Legislature and passed
by it.
Through the years, first as executive
secretary Of the Consumers League, and
later as chairman of the State Indus
trial Commission, Frances Perkins
persistent eye and mind penetrated con-
ditions not only in factories. but also
ii mercantile establishments, tenements,
laundries and among homework manu-
facturers. She co-operated with city,
State and Federal authorities In estab-
fishing and enforcing safety standards
ana bringing about better hours and
conditions for women in industry. In
large part she has been instrumental
i'll the passage of those many bills which
have revolutionized the entire relation
ship between labor and industry in New
York State, bills which have since
served as patterns for other States to
follow.
But it takes something besides the
finding and presentation Of facts to do
what she has done There Is the front
line of defense to be held against the
inevitable attack of strong opposition.
There are emergencies to be met, COM
parsons to be made. Any public spirit
to be effective must have initiative, per-
sistency. the ability to make and keep
powerful allies. the capacity for seeing
things through.
1t was the "fifty-four hour" bill, regu-
lating the hours of working women,
which put Frances Perkins to the test.
When it was pending she was an ever
present figure in the halls of the law
makers at Albany, talking down the
intrenched armies Of the opposition,
rallying support from all ranks of legis-
lators, and finally getting the bill out
OF committee and upon the floor Of the
Assembly on the last evening of the
session. 1t was passed, but with an
amendment exempting women and chill
dren in the canneries For a moment
there was CONSERVATION. Frances Perk-
inS came to the fore. Better take 1t
as it is than to get no bill at ALL" she
said. AT that it is a good step for
ward"
But it's too late now to get it to the
Senate" declared down hearted pro-
ponent.
Nonsense" snapped Frances Perkins,
on her way out of the room to find big
Tim" Sullivan, who with his cousin
Christy. also a Senator, was taking the
| night boat to New York. She persuaded
him to get thesamended bill on the floor
Of the Senate. But he left before 1t
was put to vote.
Without the big Stick" several OF
his henchmen weakened. Taking the
count, Frances Perkins found the bill
was two votes short of passing. Scurry-
ing to the telephone, she called up the
dock, to find that the boat had not
left. A message to the Sullivans brought
them back up the hill. On the way
their taxicab broke down. But on they
came, arriving out Of breath In the
meantime Frances Perkins had urged
the friends of the bill to a filibuster-
a filibuster led by the young Senator
Franklin D. Roosevelt. 1t held until the
Sullivans arrived, just in time to bring
the fifty -four-hour" bill to victory.

married to Paul Wilson, the well known

Buddhist Monks War on Officials

SHANGHAI.-R m n scent of the
