The government veterans have their

The Blue Eagle, which has been in

the last three months, got welcoming

Assured that the NJ r. A. was re-
turning the Blue Eagle to the Har-
riman Hosiery Mills and that the

However, A. e. Whitson, a repre-
sentative Of strikers who walked out
last October on the ground that the
company had dismissed % workers
for joining the Textile Workers
Union, expressed dissatisfaction with
the proposed agreement, under which
the mills get the Blue Eagle back. He
charged that the agreement was
made without the knowledge or APP

Under the agreement, the Hartman
mills would re-employ Is strikers i'm
mediately and thereafter three out

AS special adviser to the Secretary
of State It was stated that Mr.. Child
would attend the session Of the Lon
don Economic Conference. that ne
would travel in Europe to study and
report on the present and Prospec-
tive state of the economic situation
there, with special reference to the
resolutions of the economic confer
ence which had been passed or were
pending. He was to have the rank
of Ambassador and draw the ambaS-
sadorial salary of $l7,500.
Mr.. Child's appointment was an
nounced on March 5 and now. Just
about four months later, he is back
in this country And the mystery
of his original appointment is only
deeper because he is again writing
articles for publication which point
out faults and fallacieS in the pro-
gram OF the administration in which
he has Just served.
At the State Department IL is
said that Mr.. Child is no longer
connected NTH the diplomatic
service. 10 mould be somewhat
tncOngruous If he mere because one
OF his latest articles is devoted to
telling the political opponents OF
the administration hoi1 to embdr-

As TO Mr.. Child'S briet career I'M
der the new deal, IL is being asked:
II it tGaS to be so soon done tor,

A certain incongruity exists in the
roles being played at the moment by
Gen. Hugh S. johnson, recovery ad-
ministrator. In San Francisco he
is appearing, either by invitation or
by intrusion. as mediator in the
strike. AS such, he is expected to
maintain an impartial attitude be-
tween employers and employed, be-
tween companies and unions.
Denounced as Labor Foe.
While this Is his status in Sar
Francisco, in Washington he is be-
ing publicly denounced as a foe of
unions and labor. AS result of the
Donovan incident, the Department of
Commerce Building, housing the N,
r. A., is being picketed and, at the
lunch hour and closing time. marchers
walk around the building bearing
placards reading: "Chiseler No. l,

Absence of the President from
Washington and the usual Summer
doldrums have put an end for the
time being to what, earlier in the
season, was one of the Capitals
most fiourishing industries.
Before this hull set in. an activity
with which politically minded society
people we're busily occupied was try
ing to get another well-known woman
into the diplomatic service. The ice
having been broken with the naming
of Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen as Min
lister to Denmark, it was thought by
promoters of women's rights and
privileges that the example should
be followed up.
