NEW YORK, September Con
WINGED she has made Soviet Russia
safe for bejeweled women, Mrs. Ed
ward B. Mclean of Washington re-
turned in the Berengaria yesterday
with an account of how Moscow night
club patrons reacted to her display Of
the famous Hope diamond.
Although warned not to wear her
diamonds in that country, Mrs. Nc
Lean, who admittedly has "a passion
for jewelry," said she arrayed herself
in all her gems one night and went to
the night club. Dangling from her
neck was the blue diamond that re-
putedly brought bad luck to the
crowned heads of Europe.
1t was the first time the Hope dia-
mond had been in Russia since it was
owned by Catherine the Great.
II seemed to revive for the people
the memory of old Russia" said Mrs.
Mclean, recalling the experience.
There was no envy in their eyes; only
hate I could almost feel the blade
of the guillotine at my throat. 1
don't think in all my life ever had so
interesting an evening or ever was so
near to being trampled in the dust"
They hated me-that was obvious"
she said.
Mrs. Mclean appeared convinced
that all the hate" was centered on
the blue gem at her throat. Others
suggested, however, that her family
connection with the late George Bakh-
metieff, last and probably the most
snowy of the Cars Ambassadors to
Washington, might not have imbued
the Soviets with any feelings of great
friendliness.

highly seasoned with propaganda.
They are hardly worth reading.
The enact situation is difficult, II
not impossible, to determine. For
instance, no one knoUS erdctly hoiD
many men there are in the union.
Impartial experts are convinced
that there are not nearly as many
as asserted. Certainly, the union
has ncUhere near 800, 900 members
in the Southern diUiSion.
Likewise, the employers contention
that the union is striking against the
Government is in similar vein. The
Government did nothing, on the in
side or out, to stop the strike or
encourage it as it developed. That is
the same policy President Roosevelt
has followed on all strikes except the
one threatened several months ago
in the automobile industry.
The Government could have done
one thing. 1t might have made a
report on its investigation of stretch
out conditions. That investigation
A. insider knows it has been unduly
delayed.
But whether it would have helped
is another question. The inside word
is that it would not uphold the union
position. The wage report made by
the N. r. A. not long ago did not
help the union stand. This report
showed cotton textile average wages
had increased 10 per cent more than
otIar u-ooaS
The 1929 average was $l5.65 a
week; 1928 was 1886. and 1884, $13.4l.
The speakership fight is getting a
little rough backStage. A movement
to promote Marvin joiner as a candi-
date has been started in an effort to
breakup the Texas delegation support
of Rayburn.
Postmaster General Farley recently
made a speech in which he asserted
there were more honest men in poll
tics than in other lines of business.
1t astounded some people who thought
all politicians were honest.
One of the A. A. Aers is telling the
story about a farmer out West who
had a bumper crop (there were a
few. He went to the relief people
trying to get men from the rolls to
help him harvest. but was turned
down because the relief people did not
consider themselves an employment
agency.
The greatest campaign slogan Of all
times is the promise to abolish pow
erty." No candidate yet has ever
been able to do it, but the people
never find that out until after he
is elected.

And that dire possibility arises this
year when California's Democratic
registration showed a $4,000 majority
over Republican registration. which
led the Democrats to expect strong
Statewide victory.
Another thing which makes the Of
ficials at Democratic national head
quarters feel badly is that they were
warned six months ago Sinclair prob
ably would win. That they did not
stop him is at least partially their
fault. Indeed, they could not even
get one of the two acceptable Demo-
cratic candidates to withdraw.
Their one hope is that, ,Dllen the
Democratic candidates in Cali
tornia get together soon, they 1OiH
adopt their opn platform and not
Sincldir's. HotDeper, they ,piu haze
to lDctch their step because they
may offend the Sinclair Democratic
folloDtng.
You may be sure, no matter what is
said about it. that their strategy will
be directed toward saving what they
can of the Democratic congressional
ticket. They may have to accept Mr..
Sinclair for the sake of appearances,
but they will do it with their fingers
crossed.
Lament Other Victories.
One administration man wagged his
head over the Tuesday primary re-
suits and murmured, IT don't know

He was speaking as much of the re-
suits in Mississippi and South Caro-
lima as in California. He noted that
the man Bilbo has good chance of
defeating Senator Stephens in the
Mississippi run-off.
The anti-Stephens people had a
majority in the first primary.
Also, in South Carolina, the strength
of Cole Blease in the gubernatorial
race was extremely disquieting to all

LABOR IS FACING
FIGHT ON UNIONS
vertical" and "Horizontal"
Controversy to Be Renew
ed at San Francisco.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Organized labor faces decision
next month that may shape its whole
future. 1t is the issue Of vertical
VS.. horizontal unions-a contro-
versy famous in labor circles.
Horizontal unions are trade, or craft
unions. Each comprises only the
workers in particular trade-car-
penters, for instance. This type of
union is characteristic of organiza-
tions affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor.
Vertical unions are industrial unions.
They seek to sign up every employe
in an industry. ....
Prepare for Battle.
This is the issue for which labor
champions are girding for a stiff
fight at the American Federation of
Labor's annual convention in San
Francisco in October.
Strangely enough, the issue may
never be mentioned in the thousands
of words of oratory that probably
will flow. Some one will move that
the federation's executive council be
enlarged. The delegates will debate
that motion. The convention will
vote on it. And whether the largest
of the country's labor organizations
will swing away from trade unionism
to organization by industry will be
determined.
The industrial unionists want the
council enlarged. 1t is figured that
if this were done new blood could
be injected into the council and the
change toward industrial unions
made.
Lewis Is Optimistic.
Last year the convention voted
down enlargement of the eight-man
council by vote of more than 2 to
l, but John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of America and
a leading advocate of organization by
industry, is confident the proposal
will do much better this year.
The contention is that industrial
unions also give the workers much
more power. The gains under the
N. r. A. of the United Mine Work.
ers-which takes in every employe,
miner to blacksmith, in the mines
is cited as an example.
UnSkilled labor gets a "break" with
industrial unions that it never gets
with the trade groups, these advo-
Gates say.
Daniel Tobin, president of the
Transfers Union, led the fight
against enlargement of the execu-
tive council" at last years conven-
ton. He is expected to have a lead
ing role in this years tilt.

SENATE APPEALS
M CRACKEN RULING
Fight on Former Commerce
Aide Goes to Supreme
Court.

The Senate turned today to the
United States Supreme Court in q
last-ditch fight to punish former
Assistant Secretary Of Commerce Will
liam P. MacCracken, jr., for his def
ance last February of its command
to produce correspondence of air lines
for which he was attorney.
In a petition for writ of certiorari.
the court was asked to review the de-
cision Of the District Court Of Appeals
July 8, which freed MacCracken from
a Today contempt sentence imposed
by the Senate. The action of the local
appellate court was a reversal of a
previous refusal by the District SUI
preme Court to liberate the attorney
on habeaS corpus proceedings.
The move to invoke the Jurisdiction
of the Nations highest tribunal was
instituted by Chesley w. Jurney, SER
geant-at- of the Senate, through
United States Attorney Leslie c. Gar
nett ard his assistant, Harry L.
Underwood, on the ground that the
Senate's powers in dealing with re-
calcitrant witnesses should be def
nitely defined.
Ask Definite Rule.
at is desirable that this question
be definitely determined in the in
terest, and for the guidance, of the
two houses of Congress in future pro-
ceedings, and also of those who may
be involved, concerned in. or affected
by such proceedings" the court Is
told.
The specific question involved,
states the petitioner, concerns "the
power of the Senate to arrest and
bring before it for punishment a re-
calcitrant witness, who, after being
served with subpoena requiring him
to produce his files touching a sub
ject properly under investigation by
the Senate, wilfully Secretes or de-
stroys documents in those files, or
permits them to be secreted and de-
Stroyed."
Throughout the case arguments of
opposing counsel have conferred about
the proposition that MacCracken's
disobedience was a completed act"
Defense Contention.
The contention of the former
Commerce officials attorney. Frank
Hogan, has been that the Senate
can punish for contempt only per-
sons guilty of actions which obStruct
its legislative functions. In other
situations, the Senate must appeal
to the courts to strike its enemies,
he maintains.
Since some Of the papers the
Senate demanded in its airmail in
veStigation were destroyed. Hogan
argued to the Court of Appeals, they
could not be produced and conse-
quently MacCracken's failure to
produce them could not be obstruct-
ing any legislative function, but vas
in the nature of completed act"
rather than present defiance.
The appellate body took this view
Of the case, holding that the Senate
was without jurisdiction to punish
MacCracken.

What's What

New Dealers Lips Sag
While Upon Sinclair
Sweeps California.
BY PAUL MALLON.

D1 GACL NlhAAOANs
TINE New Dealers are really most
unhappy about having the
brass check pinned on them in
Il California.
A few of them tried painfully
to take the joke of Upton Sinclair's
Democratic gubernatorial nomination
gracefully. Senator Pope murmured
that California would be good place
to try out the Socialist system, imply
inG that he did not think much of
California anyway, as it was probably
Republican State. The always de-
lightful relief administrator, Hopkins,
said he was glad Sinclair won, but he
did not say any one else was.
When Hopkins Sd10 his remarks

At any rate, these two happy voices

situation had rained all over Sunny
Jim Farley. He had nothing to say
Fear Party Losses.
The reason is that Farley and the
others privately feel Sinclair's victory
Just about wrecks the chances of the
Democratic party in the fourth largest
voting State of the Union.
If you get them in a mellow mood
you can find out, off the record, that
they do not care particularly who is
Governor of California and they be-
lieve their Socialist in-Democratic-
clothing will be showed under by his
Republican opponent in November.
The secret root of their worry Is
that, with Sinclair at the head of the
Democratic ticket, they will lose all
save one or two of the II Democratic
congressional seats they now hold.
