 Double Capacities

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Tht Treasury Department, scene of re- cent allegations concerning inter- related political and governmental jobs, has officially notified em- ployees that they should not work for both the Government and a political party.
 Secretary Henry Morgenthau said in a letter to all bureau heads that it was his firm conviction that no officer or employee of the Treasury Department ought to continue to hold any political par ay offices"
 In less official language he told reporters that "a man cannot col lect from Uncle Sam and party both"

BELL EXPECTED

Commissioner of Fisheries Sailed from Seattle on
 Brant Yesterday

Enroute to Alaska on his annual field trip to study conditions in the Alaska fisheries industries and the seal herds, Frank T. Bell, Con- missioner of Fisheries, sailed from Seattle yesterday on the Fisheries flagship Brant, according to ad- vices received here today by Capt. M. J. OiConnor, Asst. Agent of the United States Bureau of Fish cries. He was accompanied by Lemuel G. Wingard, Alaska Agent of the bureau.
 Secretary D. S. Roper of the De- pertinent of Commerce, Mrs. Roper and two guests, who had been ex- pected to accompany the Commis- sioner on the Brant, will leave Seattle Monday. It is understood they will travel on a Naval vessel at least as far as Juneau.
 Commissioner Bell will stop briefly at Ketchikan, Wrangell and Petersburg enroute here. He prob ably will arrive in Juneau about next Wednesday. His stay here probably will be short as he will proceed to Bristol Bay and the Pribiloff Islands without delay. It is expected he will spend some time here on his return from Western Alaska.
 Prior to his departure from Se- attle, the Commissioner predicted that 60,0O0 seal skins would be taken from the Pribilof herds this season. The normal increase in the animals, he said, made this possible. Last years take was about 55,000.

PRICE REVIEWS
 \ LASTSESSION'S RADICAL ACTS
Other Side ofPicture Shows Graveyard of Scores
 of Proposals
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

So much has been said about the radical" tendencies of the recent Congress that almost everyone seems to have lost sight of the other side of the picture.
 ' A look through the official file of bills which failed to pass would surprise the reader of this dis patch. The file is a spacious graveyard of radical proposals.
 It seems to have been forgotten that Congress was born of a poli- tical revolution; that it brought to Washington such collection of the wild and woolly" as never had been seen before on Capitol Hill; that there was general agreement that the new Congress would be uncomfortable, irrepressible n full of the most incorporate ideas.
 For one thing, large-scale infla- tion was widely predicted. Many members talked openly of "redis- tribution of wealth." "W all street" was to be driven out of business. Every man was to be legislated into a job.
 At the end of two years, infla- tion still is dream. The big cor porations are, for the most part, paying bigger dividends than in 1892. The New York stock mar ket still does thriving business. The poor still are poor, and sev- eral millions are jogless.
 "SPIRIT OF '32"
 To enumerate these facts does not minimize the steps which &C., tually have been taken away from traditions of the past. They have been sufficient, perhaps, to give the recent Congress a place in his- tory as one of the most radical.
 The creation of NRA and AAA, suspension of NN1e gold standard, the tremendous spending program, direct relief and such vast social ventures as the Tennessee Valley project will be cited in future years as direct fruits of the re- volutionary spirit of '32
 Nor does the fact that these steps were taken, for that matter, minimize the significance of those other things which Congress was expected to do, and didn't. Know ing its genesis, the historian may even be little surprised that the revolution stopped where it did.

STOP WORKING ORDERS|SSUED
 LAST EVENING
Union Officials Claim May; or Smith Violated Agree
 ment on Alaska
DEMAND ARMED POLICE BE WITHDRAWN NOW
Seattle Executive Asserts Port Will Be Opened
 Aid Shippers

As a protest against the Seattle police participation in the lOngshOre strike, union officials in Seattle last night withdrew workers of Alaska ships when Mayor Charles L. Smith refused to remove the police forces from the docks.
 The above Associated Press dispatch was received by The Empire last night and tells it's own story that the long, shore strike has again ex- tended the siege to include Alaska shipping.
 The Seattle longshoremen said that Alaska shippers and Mayor Smith abr0gated the agreement recently made when Alaska shipping was released.
 The new blockade was an- nCunced when the authorities ignored the demand that arm ed police be withdrawn from the Seattle waterfront.
 The action again cuts off Alaska's vital commerce.
 The order came after non- union crews started unload ing the Britis S h motorship Modavia at Pier 40 under po- lice protection.
 The representatives of the strikers announced withdraw al of the crews from Alaska piers after two conferences with Mayor Smith. He was accused of brea king the agreement by which Alaska ships were to be loaded when he sent a big force of armed police to Pier 40.
 Mayor Smith ssued a statement declaring the strik- CTS action would not change his plans for opening the Se- attle port to commerce and denied the Alaska agreement had been broken by his action.
 No attempts at violence has re- suited and the Modavia's cargo was completed and the cargo of the steamer Everett is to be unloadsd at once.
 New Hope Offered
 An Associated Press dispatch from San Francisco says Federal under the new Labor Disputes Act offered hope of set clement of the coastal longshore strike. Secretary of Labor Perkins proposal of further conferences and reaching settlement by arbitra- tion is under consideration. Jos eph H. Ryan, President of the In- ternational Longshoremen's Asso- citation is perfectly willing to meet with steamship company represen- tatives, the dispatch says.
 May Extend Strike
 This afternoon dispatch to The Empire from the Associated Press from Seattle said the strik- CTS threatened, as the port grad ually opened to shipping, to lay down an embargo in Europe, Aus tralia and the Atlantic. All ships being loaded at Seattle are by non-union men.
 The longshoremen said the AL

CHECKS AND BALANCES

The reasons for this illustrate queerly how the governmental system of checks and balances sometimes operates. In some cases President Roosevelt did the check ing; in some cases Congress, itself.
 Because the President put down his foot, there was no free silver; no payment of the soldier bonus (although two previous Congresses rated as less radical passed it) {; no pay-off of depositors in closed banks; no Frazier-Lebke farm mortgage refinancing; no $10,0O0,- : 100000 public works program.
 Because Congress itself called a halt, the Wall street regulation bill was much modified; a securities act which aroused protest was amended; in the graveyard are the Administration proposals to put teeth into the farm act and fortify oil control.
