Current political happenings car be ob served with clearer perspectiy if it is remembered that this is session for trial balloons.
 In all political camps the prime objective of the next six months will be to test out popular opinion. The favorite way of doing that is to throw cut from various angles Q plentiful assortment of suggestions and ideas, and see what happens to them. -
 That is why it is especially haz- ardous just now to jump to con clusions about the real intention of any political group.
 To say that some given action today forecasts this Or that for 1886 is merely to indulge in guess ing. Every politician knows that many of the flowers which bloom so proIusely in the summer and fall of a presidential year will be missing from the garden entirely when spring comes agaln
 F s Nest-Egg Difficulties
 The Springfield conference of Re- publicans has stated some general principles on which it thinks the party could win next year.
 But no enc should suppose it has committed the party to those prin- ciples. It was sectional conference only. The greatest pains were taken to keep it 4unofficial9 There were party factions even in the midwest which either refused or failed to participate. ,1sift :,
 Finally, and most important of all from the standpoint of practical politics, it remains to be developed whether effective financial backing can be mustered for a party move ment of this character.tG ra
 It is no secret that the present Republican organization is having great difficulty getting together even campaign nest-egg for 1886. If the Springfield idea is. not more fruitful of cash backing, some other approach must, sperforce, be tried. 4ss
 Will it be the "coalition" ap- pro.lch? The anzwer to that qnes- ton, too, will be decided by the trial balloon process. ' Those who favor coalition-including disband- ing the Republican party entirely are watching the weather -yanes very anxiouslys and just now some what dubiously. M
 The Democratic Balloon"
 The biggest and bTightest-hued Democratic balloon now afloat has to do with possible revision of the constitution.
 When MT. Roosevelt spoke cut as he did at the already famous press conference, many people concluded he not only favored constitutional changes, but would make that ques- ton the paramount issue in 1886.
 Actually, he had said no such thing. His words were very careful ly chosen. When a blast of oppo- sition developed, some of his chief advisers. declared no proposal to amend the constitution was even under consideration. Later, some other advisers, of equal rank, hint ed that an amendment would be the only way out. ~a

Labor Chieftain Threatens
Revolt Against Presidents
Schedule OF Pay
BY RICHARD L. HARDNESS
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON. May 81. WH -
Organized labor today threatened
revolt against President Roosevelt S
wage scale.
There can be only one logical
result from such injustice-strife
and strikes" said William Green,
chief of all federated unions.
"It means a breaking down OF
the country's pay standards" said
Sen. Pat McCarran Dem), Neva-
da. 1--WE will take steps to combat
it,"
Senators prepared to protest the
administration decision. Many of
them had fought for prevailing
wages for all workers under the re-
employment drive.
The combined opposition came
Immediately after the Chief Exc
cutive had announced $40 mini
mum for unskilled southern labor
ers and $94 maximum for learned
technicians and professionals un-
der his $4,0OO,O00,0OO unemployment
program.
He divided the country into four
wage sections with different pay
in each division. He then broke
the regions into areas according to
populations.
The Public Works Administra-
ton, which pays prevailing rates
Civilian Conservation Corps, high
way workers and laborers on per-
manent federal buildings will be
exempt from provisions of the new
wage scale.
1.-The injustice of the rates is
obvious" Green said. For eX-
ample, labor has been receiving as
much in the District of Columbia
as in Canton, o.
"Yet, under the Presidents plan,
Canton workers are put in the first
section and will receive more than
Washington workers in the second.
And it costs just as much, If not
more, to live in Washington.
situations like that will lead to
local strikes and strife. The whole
5et-up is unfair. The American
Federation of Labor believes the
government should pay the pre-
vailing wage rates in each COM
muntiy. That's what we advo-
Gated"

Organize Vets

WASHINGTON, May 81. U.P)-
Brig. Gen. Smedley D. Butler, here
campaigning for the bonus, said
today that if the Presidents veto
of the Patman bill is sustained he
intends to organize large scale
political movement composed of
"every man who ever carried a

"My idea Butler said. "would
be mammoth organization like
the Grand Army of the Republic,
which would bring political pressure
to bear to take care of the soldiers.
"This American Legion and
Veterans of Foreign Wars-they re
no good. They've got provisions in
their bylaws which say they can It
engage in political action. The
politicians put them to sleep.
"The G.. A. r. used to be so
strong that a congressman couldn t
appoint postmaster until the To-
cal post had met and approved the
man. If the soldiers don't get
theirs now. they III organize and get
it. There ID be about five million

SACRAMENTO, May 81. U.R)-
The fight of California teachers
colleges for liberalization and ex-
tension of their courses neared
completion of the first stage today
when Governor Frank F. Merriam
began consideration of a bill chang
ing the names of the institutions to
state colleges.
The senate passed bill already
approved by the assembly which in
addition to permitting the name
change would allow the colleges to
teach such liberal arts courses as
may be appropriate for students in
tending to enter the teaching pro-
fession. 1t would not, however, re-
quire students to declare that they
intended to become teachers.
Opponents said the bill was an en-
tering wedge in the drive to estab-
lish regional arts colleges, and some
proponents admitted this was true,
insisting the people of California
demanded increased educational fa-
cilities. The University of Califor-
mia opposed the measure on the
ground the state should concentrate
on a major university rather than
scattering facilities.
Institutions affected by the bill.

He declared that Germany is
ready to participate in collective

European peace.
