BY THEON WRIGHT
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, June 23. - one OF
the leading points in the strategy
of the New York Giants hence
forth will be to send a bat boy
over to the enemy's hutch just be-
fofe each game to tap one of the
opposing fellows on the shoulder

"Observe: Today you are playing
terrible Bill Terry's terrible Terry
men, the New York Giants, cham

on a double play. The Braves
scored four runs before the inning
ended.
The Phillies beat the Cincinnati
Reds, 4-2, winning in the 10th on
Todd's double and two singles.

President Ends The
Auto Strike Threat

President Roosevelt and Recov-
cry Administrator Hugh S. John
son brought peace to the autonlo-
bile industry with a compromise
settlement under which a board
representing the president will
pass on all questions of employe
representation, discharge and discri-
mination.
The employer, under the agree
ment, affirm their obligation to
bargain collectively with freely
chosen representatives of groups,
and not to discriminate iii ary way
against an employee on grounds of
his union labor affiliations"
The troublesome question If
whether union members, in order
to be entitled to representation by
a union officer, must make known
their identity to the employer is
taken care of by a roundabout
compromise.
The workers lost their plec for
a new election under national la
Dor board auspices to determine
who properly is entitled to repre-
sent them.

Air Lines Will
Get Contracts
In Two Months
Did COMPANIES Must Reorganize
To Be Eligible.
CONTRACTS
to Have Ample Time TO
Pass New Air Mail Legis-
latiou.

Postmaster General Farley has
announced plans for returning the
air mail to private hands, and in
effect ordered to complete reor-
ganization of every major aviation
transportation company.
He imposed a blacklist, requir-
ing that any company which
wants to bid for mail contracts
must discharge any responsible Of
ficial guilty of collision or fraud
in connection with the so-called
''spoils conference" of 1880. But
he softened this by saying that
representatives of aviation COM
panles who were summoned to the
conference could not be held
blameworthy, and made provisions
tor the submission of briefs by re-
organized companies to prove their
eligibility to bid on new contracts.
The administration hopes to end
army transportation of air mail
within two months, granting tenn
.porary contracts to be superseded
by longer agreements when a. per-
manent air mail bill is passed Nv
congress.
There was no suggestion that the
old companies with the old Off
|cials could do business privately
If they desired. But it is sener-
ally recognized that mail contracts
are a necessity for most air lines if
they are to maintain profitable
passenger service. Most observers
felt that Farley's order amounted
by inference to a command to the
alrllnes to meet the administra-
tons requirements or go out of
business.
Advertisements for bids on tn.
temporary contracts will be ready
this week and will call for bids
within IS days. Successful bid
ders must start operations within
80 days after acceptance.
Inc temporary air mail plan is
designed to end the army air mail
experiment as soon as possible,
without requiring congress to rush
through a permanent air mail bill
which might have serious defects,
Ample time for consideration of
provisions of a permanent bill is
now assured the congressional
committees, which already have
heard much conflicting testimony
on ways and means of handling
mail contracts.

private capital is afraid to invest

WASHINGTON
Usual Labor Reaction
Capital For Industry
Cabinet Changes
Rumored
"Flash" Campaign On

Washington-The labor ques-
ton is at the top in Washington S
official problems as this is written.
A great deal hinges on the outcome
of the union situation in the au-
tomobile industry. 1t is not yet
clear whether the Administration
intends to back up the American
Federation of Labor, which has
shrewdly taken the best possible
advantage of the provision for COL
lective bargaining in the National
Recovery Act, or whether it will
content itself merely with seeing
TO it that organizations of en-
ployees are not dominated by their
employers.
The Federation is engaged in a
vigorous attempt to establish the
principle that no union is a good
union unless it is an A.F.L union.
Employees in many industries have
organized their own union. In
every case the Federation has set
up the claim that these company"
unions do not give the employees
the right to choose their own
spokesman for bargaining purposes
with theik employers. In some
instances they are doubtless right.
In other instances they have been
able to get a few hotheads, discon-
tented and dismissed employees to
set up the claim that they have
been dicriminated against.
General johnson, administrator
of MIRA, has accepted the COM
pany union in one of the most i'm
portant cases, in which he is salts
fled the employers kept their
hands off and still the workers
voted to organize inside the COM
pany. That doesn't please the
Federation, which wants its own
men to act as employees spokes-
men.

One result of this situation is a
larger number of strikes, and
larger strikes, than have been
known for many years. Some of
the cooler heads in Washington
regard this strike situation calmly.
They point out that every period
of recovery from past dercessions
has been marked by labor strikes
and disturbances.
Any revival in business looks
like a good time for worker to de-
mand a bigger slice of the pre-
sumptive profits. So, these ex-
perienced oldsters say, the recovery
must be under way, else these la
Dor leaders would not be making
such a disturbance.
1t seems pretty clear from the
point of view of Washington that
recovery is progressing, not steadi-
ly but by fits and starts. March
has been a better month than Feb
ruary was, so far. The outlook
for April is even better. But
there is nothing clear yet as to how
things will be going in May ane
June, and some new doses Of in.
flationary stimulant, in one form
or another, may be necessary be-
fore Summer is we'll under way
