Ilt SuDlllllo llClCWlUll, Will
out comment, statement issued by
Gilbert E. Hyatt, legislative repre-
sentative of the National Federation
OF Post Office Clerks and William
M. Collins, president of the Railway
Mail association:
Is Postmaster General James A.
Farley sabotaging the President S
/ recovery program?
! The President on March called
upon industry and business to
| shorten hours and, at the same
time, to increase wages. The Presi-
dent said:
Reduction in hours coupled with
decrease in weekly wages will do
no good at all, for it amounts only
to a forced contribution to unem-
ployment by the class least able to
bear it
On the same day on which the
President delivered his ringing new
deal speech the postmaster gen.
eral issued an order contradicting
the Presidents policies in every par
ticular.
The postmaster generals order of
that day inflicted payless furloughs
On regular employees, withheld their
vacations, abrogated long cherished
rights and privileges such as senior
ity and at the same time threw
$4,000 postal substitutes on the
breadline. For the past three years
the earnings of these substitutes
have been utterly inadequate even
for the bare necessities of life. Now,
they will earn nothing for the next
four months. This order was not
because of absence of work for these
employees, it was to save money.
And the public is to pay for it in
curtailed service.
The next day the postmaster gen.
eral went further in this wage cut
ting program by appearing before
the house post office committee ad-
vCcating the passage of a bill in
creaSing the work and reducing the
income of rural delivery carriers. He
bluntly told the committee that it
was choice between cut in wages
or the dismissal of some 5000 car
rierS.
The postmaster general robbed
himself of even the excuse advanced

MORE BUILDING.

Two somewhat unrelated items conceded recently
in the news. One is the formal beginning OF the
great housing campaign, enlsting private capital
as major partner with that of the Government in
undermining the nations dwelling quarters. The
other is current Dun and Bradstreet report
showing July building permits in els cities up PIT
per cent from June where the usual change Is a
drop of 1O1a per cent and also a gain of 1872
per cent over a year ago For the first seven
months of 1884 the gain was 1876 per cent.
This is new construction of all sorts, but 1t
should be good harbnger for the renovation drive
and for stimulation to the long Tagging heavy
goods industries.

"Uncle Robbie
New York Herald Tribune0


If the late John McCiraw came first in the ad-
mration of New York baseball fans, then 1t may
be said that Wilbert Robinson came first in thelr
affections This is not to imply that the little
manager of the Giants lacking in the capacity
for making friends for his friends were legion; but
the McCraw tradition as his sobrquet OF "Muggsy
abundantly suggests tradition of aggressive
ness The kindlest of off the field, he achieved
his results and made his reputation on the diamond
as relentless driver of his players and as base
ball leader who in his long career either gave
quarter or asked it of foe
If the McCiraw tradition faithfully reflected
in his nickname, Robinson's in his. To the
Brooklyn fans he always affectionately referred
to not as Robinson but as Uncle Robbie, or Just
plain Robbie" When McCiraw in his heydey came
out onto the coaching lines, it to take per-
sonal and aggressive charge of the combat. There
was little of this belligerency about Robbie"
keen strategist the late Brooklyn leader frequently
directed the game from the coaching lines, but 1t
was in a friendly good natured spirit; and it was
not unusual to see him turn, from time to time
to exchange banter with fans in the nearby stands
But, with all his easygoing ways, Wilbert Robin
SON was great manager. Never having at his
disposal the long pusre that managers had
he compelled to build his teams in large
measure out OF young, inexpensive material or out
of veterans who had been cast aside by other
clubs and in time he developed something akin to
genius in this field Robbie" could not boast as
many champions as some managers, but this can
be said as the measure of his peculiar talents;
through his capacity for reuvenating cast-offs and
for handling his players on and off the field he
succeeded in jockeying to the National League pen
nant two clubs which will rank for many years
the most mediocre teams, intrinscaly, ever to
attain the championship. Only logical explana-
ton can offered for those amazing conquests
Those clubs must have fought their way to the top
because they wanted so nightly to win for the
genial, lovabe man that they knew Uncle
Robbie"

THE SOUTHEAST ALASKA FAIR.

registers prevailing conditions than the Southeast
Alaska Fair which is scheduled to open here on
September II. This is the thirteenth annual recur-
rent exhibition to be held under the auspices OF the
Southeastern Alaska Fair Association. 1t has BEEN

ups and downs of the Panhandle of the Territory
Juneau, through the initiative of few public
spirited residents, launched the Fair in 1922. In
the first five years it operated in rented quarters.
In 1927 it conducted in its own quarters,
through the enterprise of local individuals who

to the community and the Territory That year it
was housed in the Fair Building for the first time.
That structure, the largest building of its kind in
Alaska covers land los feet by 200 feet,
and was built at a cost of upwards of $4,000. 1t
was built by funds derived from a security issue
on which interest and principal payments have
always been met and which has justified all claims
made for it.
The Fair has suspended even through

tically inaccessible lands east of Point Barrow,

valid argument for this country's entering the

crowd frghtful prison colonies with human beings

settlements, any of the other places provided
by some governments for social political prisoners

have opportunity there to officially protest
against any such movement as that endorsed in
the recent convention at San Francisco.

RAINEY RENDERED VALIANT
SERVICE.

The Roosevelt Administration lost of its most
valuable members when Henry T. Rainey Speaker
of the House of Representatives during the Seventy
this week. 1t largely his hand that steered
through the House in the special session early last
year and the regular session that succeeded it. the
legislative craft laden with the Administrations
recovery measures His efficient service was one
OF the main reasons why the special session enacted
every Roosevelt without serious difficulty
and on but one or two occasions did the House get
out of hand during the regular session
Mr.. Rainey faced many difficult situations during
the latter months of the recent session He met
them all fairly and squarely He most of his
battles and those he lost only after he had
put up the hardest fight his long experience as a
Legislator fitted him for He merited and had the
fullest confidence of his chief President Roosevelt.
His faith in and loyalty to the Chief Executive was
answering He will be missed greatly by the
President and by his colleagues OF the House
Mr.. Rainey no time He did what
he honestly and sincerely felt best for the
country Long ago before many people realized that
scientific advancement in industry leading to
the replacement of man by machines, he proclaimed
the need for social development to counterfeit its
effects. He foresaw the time would come when the
former would lead to a stagnation of labor, wide
sequent reduction in remunerative employment that
would be disastrous He lived to see that prophesy
come true. And he did eevrything in his power,
under the leadership of Mr.. Roosevelt to restore
the necessary balance.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Thomas (DemocraD of

attach an amendment to proposed sill
yer legislation which would enable for
eign nations to pay June installments
on their war debts in the white metal.
This authority was given in a mon
etary bill passed last session, but it has
expired.
The Oklahoma Senator said he had
in mind accepting the silver at price
Of SO cents an ounce and that 1t
would be applicable only to the next
installment due.
He said Treasury officials had OBJ

it might prolong silver discussion by
interfering a war debt controversy.
