ARBITRATION.

In all the recent strikes, and in the
negotiations ending those strikes, it
has been brought out that there are
fundamental conflicts OF interest be-
tween employer and employee. 1t has
been the policy OF the boards set up
by the Roosevelt government to mini
mize and soft pedal those basic differ
ences and to strive for harmony be-
tween capital and labor. But is such
harmony possible?
1t is unlikely, if not impossible that
there can ever be harmony between
exploiter and exploited. AS well ex-
pect peace between the wolves and the
sheep. Industrial peace built on
economic injustice, enforced by legal
or extra-legal gunner, denying to
millions the right to a full and abun-
dant life-such a peace cannot and
should not be lasting. 1t rests on
sand.
The working class throughout the
United States are watching and many
OF them taking hope from the various
and devious moves of the Roosevelt
administration 1t is time they quit
deceiving themselves. Just now they
are wondering what will replace the
c. w. A..
Harry Hopkins says in blunt words :
There will be no more c. w. A. We
are going to run a relief organization"
Let the unemployed take what comfort
they can from the assurance they will
not be allowed to starve.
Labor has been called the giant with
the feet of clay. How long will great
masses of people continue to live at a
sub-normal standard, surrounded by
the natural wealth, the facilities of
production and distribution necessary
to give a decent living to all who are
willing to work? Surely the American
working class has the intelligence and
the courage to find a way out.
Roosevelt has asked for a truce be-
tween capital and labor. Well, we
must admit our President is honest.
He recognizes that there is a struggle
going on between two conflicting
groups, capital and labor, and he asks
for a truce. What does such a truce
imply?
That the millions now unemployed
shall continue on inadequate relief.
That the masses who have jobs shall
be satisfied with low wages in the face
of constantly rising prices. That the
American working class as a whole
shall accept the status quo-low stand

MacCracken's outside frie n d
among the legal fraternity.
The argument that Senate con-
viction would blast a promising
legal career was keynoted initially
by Frank j. Hogan, Mr.. Mac.
Cracken's defense counsel, in an
eloquent plea before the bar OF
the Senate. It was directed at
the 81 lawyer-members of the
legislative boyd, sitting as q court.
Democratic leaders sought to
turn this argument to their own
advantage, asserting that the
former Little Cabinet" member
was more culpable than the three
other defendants, since he knew
something about law and the avia-
ton men knew little.
More Writs Loom
Most Of the fight ragged around
Mr.. MacCracken's fate. Mean
while, former Assistant Attorney
General Seth W. Richardson pre-
pared to seek a court writ in the
event his client, Col. L. H. Brittin,
Of Northwest Always. should re-
ceive a jail sentence. A habeaS
corpus proceeding was in pros
pect,. too, for Harris M. HanShue
and Gilbert L. Givvin Of Western
Air Express, on an "f and when"
basis.
Giving his attention for the
time being to the outcome Of the
jury's star chamber deliberations,
Mr.. Hogan planned at the first
opportunity to press his appeal
from the decision of Federal Dis
trict Judge O'Donoghue denying
court relief to Mr.. MacCracken.
The appeal was to be sought
in Federal Circuit Court, and, If
necessary, carried to the nations
highest tribunal.

Full Pay Return Urged
As Example to Industry

Close to the powers that be in
the House, Representative Claude
A. Fuller D), Of Arkansas, today
added his name to the long list
of Representatives favoring restor'
alton of the Federal pay cut.
Like many Of his colleagues,
Representative Fuller would like
to see the entire Is per cent re-
stored, but will accept the pro-
posed Senate amendment for 10
per cent If that is the win OF the
Administration.
House FavOrs Fun Pay
Clarifying his stand, he said:
"The House will accept that
amendment and would accept
one calling for entire return OF
the cut.
'T will be one Of those voting
for it myself because I believe
the prices Of living are going
up. The Government Is already
paying more for labor and is
frankly trying to increase prices
everywhere.
Furthermore, I believe It
would set a splendid example to
industry"

MURRE[ SCORES
POINT IN TRIAL

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Feb. IA
U.NSJ.-Having presented expert
medical testimony, defense attor-
neys expected to rest their case
today in the trial Of Lieut.. John
H. Murrel, former West Point foot
ball star, sharged with crimina1ly
attacking Mrs. Blanche Rails BoiS-
clair.
Two Army doctors said it would
have been impossible for Lieuten-
ant Murrel to have committed the
attack as the divorces described 1t
in her testimony. IT,.
Mrs. Boisclair charged that Lieu.
tenant Murrel attacked her on an
automobile drive through the Fort
Sam Houston reservation last Oc-
tober %, following a night club
party celebrating a football game.
Called by the defense to support
the Army officers contention that
he was falsely accused, Mrs. Ruth
Mealey declared that five high
balls were served to Mrs. Boisclair,
or Miss Rails, as the complainant
is known, during the evening. Miss
Rails had said she drank only two
highballS.
Lieutenant Murrel completed his
version from the witness stand
with the assertion that Miss Rails
was "in q drunken condition" and
he was only taking her home so
his mother could care for her.
DISPOSITIONS were introduced
from five former employers and
fellow workers of Miss Rails in
Birmingham, Ala, stating that her
reputation for truth and veracity
there was questionable.

GAG RULE PLAN
To SPEED Up
TAX BILL
16-Hour Debate Held a Mere
Gesture; House Calls Up
Measure; Passage Sure

BY International News Service
The 258 million-dollar tax re-
vision bill was called up in the
House today with Democratic
leaders claiming a big majority
for adoption Of a "gag" rule on
the measure.
Approval Of the rule, which
permits only the Ways and Means
Committee to present amend
ments, would assure passage Of
the bill within a week.
After the fight on the gag rule
today, the House will have 16
hours Of debate before a final
vote is reached. Opponents Of
the rule charged the debate would
be an empty gesture.
Sales Tax Uncertain
The fate Of the manufacturers
sales tax proposal of Representa-
tive Crowther (R.) Of New York,
was clouded as a result Of the
procedural fight. A chance will
be offered hackers Of the sales
tax for a vote on a motion to
recommit the bill unless they are
blocked by a condemnation.
Fear that the House would rip
open the bill, attack the COM
munity property States Of the
West and make a tariff bill out
Of the tax measure prompted the
gag proposal. Said Representative
Doughton (D.) of North Carolina,
chairman Of the Ways and Means
Committee:
"Our Judgment is that If you
open the bill up to amendment
on the floor you will have .
worse bill when you get through
than the one the committee has
prepared after months Of
study"
Representative O'Connor D)
Of New York, declared:
II have never been able to
understand why the House will
bind itself on bills and then let
them 60 to the Senate to be
torn to pieces. All / can see is
an Acknowledgement of inferior
ity by the House."
Representative Lewis CD) Of
Maryland, charged that the de-
sire to protect the eight commu-
nifty property States of the South
and West caused the gag rule de-
mand.
CROWTHER RAPS PLAN
Continuation Of selected sales
taxes on certain industries and
miscellaneous taxes was aSSailed
