MEN HIT
LABOR BOARD

NEW YORK, Feb. 3 Q.N.S0.
Emphatic exception" to the au-
thority granted by President
Roosevelt to the. National Labor
Board to conduct elections for
representatives of employees "in
any industry or plant whenever a
substantial number Of such en-
ployes request it" was recorded to-
day by the American Iron and
Steel Institute.
Analysis of the executive order
granting such power to the Ma
tional Labor Board, the institute
declared, constitutes a direct
threat against the peaceful indus
trial relations long prevailing in
the steel industry" and is q
threat against the whole national
industrial recovery program" It
added:
"The steel industry Is cooper
ating whOleheartedIy with the
President in his efforts for ma
tiOnaI recovery and Subscribes
fully to the principle Of cOllec-
tive bargaining as provided in
the national industrial recovery
act.
I'm accordance with this prin-
cipIe, emplOye representation
plans are in operation through
out the steel industry. They are
funCtiOning effectively and are
providing employees with repre-
Sentatives chosen by them in

TO CALL Up BILL
Of ROOSEVELT
ON MONDAY
Liberals Drive to Continue
Work Until May, 1885,
Spurs Administration
BY international News Service


Alarmed by wave of senti-
ment for continuation of the
1000, 900 CWA army beyond
May, House Administration lead
ers today were mobilizing to hold
expenditures to the Presidents
program.
In an effort to prevent the
House from running away"
leaders decided to call up the
e50-million-dollar bill requested
by President Roosevelt under
suspension Of the rules Monday.
The maneuver depriveS the op-
position of the right to offer
amendment, but leaders in the
fight for a far greater amount
OF money declared they can de-
feat ANY gag rule"
A proposal by Representative
Keller CD Of Illinois to provide
1,500 million dollars to continue
the Civil Works Administration
until May, 1885, was the rallying
point Of the House liberals.
He planned to call caucuses of
State delegations between now
and Monday and ask the House
to reject the 0-million- dollar ap-
preparation, in the hope of forcing
the Administration to accept a far
greater sum. He added:
"ThiS is no time to demObilize
the Civil Works Administration,
which is providing employment
to millions and aiding in the
restoration of business by dis
.tributing money. throughout the
country"
Chairman Buchanan CD Of
Texas, Of the Appropriations Com
mittee, warned the party boilers
a long fight would result in sus-
pension of the CWA work Febru-
ary 10. Funds now are virtually
exhausted. He said:
81 think the bill will be passed
on Monday just as the President
wants 1t. There is great danger
Of public relief becoming q ra-
paciOus NAV to dev0ur every
thing. Funds will be provided
to aid any needy person."
Leaders Make Claims
Administration leaders claim
Public Works projects will begin
to absorb thousands Of persons
early in the spring, and resump-
tjon Of farm work is expected to
take many more.
While one group was agitating
for more money, some members
were preparing to seek restric-
tions upon CWA expenditures.
Representative Clifford (R0 OF
Massachusetts was leading a
fight to curb what he declared
was unwiSe and wasteful expen-
ditures and graft, while at the
same time providing aid for all
needy.

Unusually forceful declaration
of war on political graft in local
government had been proclaimed
by President Roosevelt today in
his efforts to keep politics out Of
the Administrators gigantic re-
lief program.
The President sent the 48 State
directors of the National Emer-

ing political graft out of the re-
lief work, "even if you hit the big
geSt political boss in the United

This action on the part of the
President followed complaints
from all over the country that
local, State, and municipal govern.

hard-bOiled if you find any local
person within your own States

advantage out of the relief Of

was decided to enlarge the pack
and establish the hunt on a more
organized basis. McCarty had
formally claimed the country in
1926, under the authority of the

The Post ONCE Department reports
that only negligible number of bank
ing institutions have withdrawn from
the fund since the first of the year
and that many new applications have
been received during that time for de-
positary rights, though principally
from banks in outlying sections of
the country.

sion OF the Post Office Department re-
ports that total of 1891 $50 900 has
been turned back by depositary insti-
tutions since the first of the year, but
emphasized such action did not neces-
sarily mean withdrawal from the sys-
tenn. No figures were available on the
number Of institutions affected.
Withdrawing banks have been
charged with having been quite willing
to accept these deposits when business
was good and loanable funds in de-
mand. Their answer, briefly, is that
such accounts have been carried at a
loss for more than a year.
Normally, 1t has been estimated, IS
per cent of postal deposits are carried
with commercial banks, but now it is
believed that not more than 65 per
cent is so placed. The remainder Is
in the custody of the Treasury.
A depositary institution must place
with the Treasury an amount of
eligible" security in the form of bonds
equivalent to the amount OF the de-
post.

POSTAL SAVINGS
Lack of Profitable Outlets

BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,

Because Of what they consider lack
of profitable investment channels for
their surplus funds, some banking in
stitutions throughout the country are
ceasing to act as depoSitaries of postal
savings funds, which carry from per
cent to 2la per cent interest charges.
The reason given for a majority of
the Withdrawals is that the depositary

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
written Fxcu Washington Times)

tlvate your opportunities IN
school. These are really the
best years of your life. Don't
pass them day dreaming.
He Doesn't Sound Promising
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I've been going with a boy
for nearly a year, and I really
love him. About four weeks
ago, he quit coming steadily,
because he has been getting
letters from another girl. I
think the only interest she has
is to get his money. Lately,
he has been going about with
a crowd of people who are not
at all my kind. He has Dragged
about the number of girls he
knows.
I have been asked to meet
another boy, who is much
more my type, but I still love
the first one I told you about.
What shall I do? WORRIED.
I think your course is clear.
BY all means, meet the boy, who
is of the type you admire. Per-
hapS you will learn to care for
him more than you care for the
other one. Let's look at it plainly
and simply.
You think you love the first
one, but your good sense tells
you that he is not at all your
type. You don't like the people
with whom he associates. He
has shown himself ready to leave
you and neglect you for a girl
who merely writes to him. If
you let yourself become deeply
interested in this boy, he is not
likely to make you happy.
Beatrice Fairfax, noted au-
thOrity on problems of love and
marriage, will answer your
letters personally. InclOse self
addressed, stamped envelope.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
They say there is safety in
numbers, but I don't think so
at all. I know boy, whom I
like very much, indeed, but
every time he comes over, he
brings his pal with him. I don't
care about the pal, in fact I
want Jack to come alone. He's
such a nice boy, and we are
both in the same classes.
We could get along wonder
fully without the third party.
How shall I go about getting rid
of the pal? JIMMY.
Well, jimmy, you might say
humorously to Jack that he
pays you no compliment at all,
or he must be a very timid fell
low, since he finds it necessary
to bring along a bodyguard.
Ask him, on another occasion,
if he ever heard that OLD. one
about two being company and
three a crowd.
Then, there is a very indirect
way that might be successful.
If you show some particular at
tention to the pal, neglecting
Jack a bit, you might get re-
suits. It's a very interesting
game, calling for imagination,
and skill. I wish you luck.
He Has Stopped Writing
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm in the last year of high
school, and have the reputation
of being both attractive and
popular. What shall do in the
case of the boy, whom I love
very much, and who lives about
a 100 miles from here? I have
not heard from him since Christ
mas, when he sent me a present,
for which thanked him. Since
then, I have written him card.
In his letters, written before
Christmas, he says he loves me.
Should I write him again? 1
hope you won't tell me to for
get him. I love him too much
for that.
BROKEN HEARTED.
May I be entirely candid
without appearing to lack SYM
pathy for you? I cannot be
less than fair if I fail to say.
however, that this boy permits
himself to be a cool and re-
mote lover. I might even say
that he's neglectful. You're a
schoolgirl. Let me venture the
opinion that you're not really
broken-hearted, even though
you think you are. You may
like this boy and be disap-
pointed at his neglect.
May 1 not advise you to cul-
