EASTERN LABOR
STRIKE NOTES

NEW YORK (FP) The strike
wave continues unabated in the east
thousands of strikers winning vic
tories and going back to work at the
same time that other thousands walk
out demanding union recognition and
higher wages.
With a tremendous picket demon
stration of a Paterson, N. J. shop that
had advertised it would open, silk
strikers there not only kept that shop
closed but announced that they would
settle "as one" Negotiations are on
in Washington for an early settlement.
Workers, moreover, will refuse any
NRA settlement but a favorable one
as they demonstrated recently when
they turned down mediation terms.
The strikes of the knitted outerwear
workers, with 5000 out, 1900 await
ing the strike call, and threatening to
involve 100000 garment workers; of
1900 Amalgamated Clothing Workers
bushelmen with $500 on deck; of 5000
corset and brassiere workers out for
four weeks-all were won by the
workers with union recognition, wage
increases and shorter work weeks.

Figures on Two-Timing

I do not know of what science DR.. Emilio Mara is
professor but he has made interesting investigation
into the minds of 156 and women, in groups OF
two. That is, he asked 578 men and 578 women what
they would do if they discovered that their husbands,
or wives unfaithfu the third party, in each
being the best friend of the wronged man woman.
Eight men would kill the lover five would;
48 men would forgive and try to win back their mate,
only % would rise to that point of indulgence
On the other hand Fl would kill their errng
wives, and only II women would kill their errng
husbands
There must be moral to be drawn from the fact
that both husbands and wives consider the lover (or
mistress) less guty-at least twice many would kill
the husband or wife than would kill the lover or
mistress Three times many women men would
separate but live in the house. Possibly this
indicates higher regard for society," for the sanctlty
of the family for the rights of children) In only
one response are and women virtually equal: "A
women and As men would leave the lovers and move
away.
DueIs and Hair-PuIIing
The largest single vote from the was for catch
ing the lovers and getting divorce; the largest single
vote for the women (amost the number) was
for total private separation About 100 wanted
to make their rival ridiculous, almost $50 women
wanted to make their successors feel and look like
fools. Only a few choose the favorite path of the
misunderstanding love to the wife husband of the
third party. The final question indicates foreign
setting for the whole quesOnnaire: "Chalenge lover
or pull woman friends hair" The more
beigerent, 49 of them voting for duel Only 18
women were ready to pull hair

ROPER CHEERS
WORKERS BY
OPTIMISM
Hopes 1t Will Be Feasible to
Restrict Cuts to 1892 Already
Made; Asks Works Fund
BY DUNCAN FORSYTH


Cheering news for Federal EN-.
ployes appeared today in an
announcement from Secretary Of
Commerce Daniel C. Roper that
he hopes it will be possible to
restrict Commerce Department
changes to those already made,
and that he has asked $4,000.
900 from the Public Works Board
for various units in his depart
ment.
Total changes in Department
Of Commerce payrolls, he said
today, have amounted to 600 dis
miSsals and 296 indefinite fur.
loughs in Washington, and $50
dismissals and So indefinite fur
loughs in the field. Should the
$10,000,00O public works appro-
priation be obtained, he esti-
mated that 1900 persons could
be put to work.
1892 Separated
Presumably a large number Of
these would come from the 1892
that have been removed from the
payroll.
Secretary Roper has taken the
initiative in many matters af-
fecting personnel, and it is ex-
pected that his example in this
latest respect will be generally
followed. 1t is known, of course.
that the War, Navy and Interior
Departments have already asked
large appropriations from the
Public Works Board, the effect
of which, if granted, would be
to retain or reemploy a number
of workers in those agencies.
In statement today Secretary
Roper said his department was
allotted $26,O00,00O by the Budget
Bureau, and that the functions
of the department had now been
readjusted to a basis of $780,.
100000. He hopes he will be per-
mitted to maintain his organiza-
ton on the basis of a $4,000, 900
expenditure, which means that
no more employees would have to
go.
FOresaw Emergency
Roper pointed out that In
March he had suggested the posi-
bility of re-hiring dismissed en-
ployes In the new emergency or
ganizations, and added:
''In anticipation of reduction
In our personnel, we furnished
to the departments under which
the new units were created q
list Of persons whose services
might be utilized by them, and
also gave the Civil Service Com
mission list Of employees whose
names could be placed on the
unemployment register"
The Secretary's request for ap-
proximate1y $1O,00O,OOO from the
public works fund for his depart
ment would be, according to his
plan, divided so that the Light
house Service would get $2,333,.
O68, the Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey $3,500,939, the Bureau Of
Fisheries $1,072,470, the Bureau
Of Standards $43O,00O, and the
Bureau of Mines $275, 900, for new
projects.
In addition to these, $487, 500
was asked for the Aeronautics
Branch, $4,000 for the Coast and
Geodetic Survey. $23O,O0O for the
Bureau of Fisheries, $2,283 800 for
the Lighthouse Service, $4,000
for the Navigation and Steamboat
Inspection Service, and $148,5OO
for the Bureau of Standards for
