RETIREMENT BILL
Supported By Senate-Now
Goes to House

Columbus (Special)-Labor leaders
all over the state are gratified at the
solid support given the Ohio employees
retirement bill by senator's from Ham
ilton county. Senators Edward N,
Waldvogel, William E. Handley and
Overton D. Jackson gave the bill sup
port. The bill went over by an over
whelming vote in the senate. 1t is
now being considered by the house.
The bill, Senate Bill No. 262, has
had the steady backing of labor. The
Ohio Federation of Labor, the railway
brotherhoods, and the Ohio Associa
tion Of Firefghters are among those
who have endorsed it.
Thomas j. Donnelly, secretary
treasurer of the Ohio State Federation
Of Labor, in his report of labor legis-
lation for the last session of the gen.
eral assembly, said Of the bill, which
then became law and is now up for
minor amendment: "The bill is in line
with similar laws in nine other states,
and is the result of activities for sew
eral years of the Ohio State Employees
Benevolent Association and the Ohio
Federation of Labor. The state en-
ployes deserve a great deal of credit
for the persistent and able work in
bringing the subject of retirement
before the general assembly"

MIAMI MAYOR
PUSHES PROJECT
To Aid South American
Trade
BY STAFF CORRESPONDENT

Miami, Fla. (ILNS)-Miami's pro-
posal for permanent Pan American
exposition in that city, to promote
trade between the two Americas,
North and South, is being renewed and
pushed under the energetic leadership
of Mayor E. G. Sewell, backed by la
Dor. In addition to being a capable
official and staunch champion Of his
community, Mayor Sewell is staunch
supporter Of union labor. In this case,
he believes he has a project which
will benefit the whole Western Con-
tinent in greater or less degree.
Latin America Approves
Briefly, that project is to build
permanent exposition hall on 60
acre island in Biscayne bay, CON
nected with the city by a double
causeway. This structure would be
designed basically as merchandis-
ing market; an inter-continental show
room and sales office. On display
would be permanent samples of ma
tural products of our own country and
the Latin American states, and of all
important manufactures. 1t would be
continuous market, where buyers
and sellers from all parts of the two
great continents could meet.
Representative of 21 Latin Ameri-
can countries have expressed their ap-
proval of the project; the Republic of
Columbia is now working on dis
play to be placed in Miami; and
Puerto Rico plans to send there per-
manently the exhibit which it sent to
the fair at Chicago.
Mayor Sewell believes that some
such move is necessary if we are ever
to re-establish the trade between the
United States and the Latin countries
of the continent and the West Indies
and that Miami has great advantages
over any other place for such prof.
ect. Miami is only 2 hours travel by
air from Cuba, and only 16 hours from
| the northern coast Of South America
and closer still to the greater part Of
this country. No one supposes thai
goods exchanged between the twt
Americas will be routed through Mi
ami, but they can be displayed there
and ordered from there.
If q Pan American exposition, il
a city more accessible to the vast ter
ritory lying south of the guilt thar
any other place in the United States
if this will help even a little to bring
back our dwindling Latin American
trade, it should be worth while.

Washington.-A compact by repre-
sentatives of the United Mine Work
ers of America and bituminous coal
operators to extend the agreement be-
tween the union and the operators
and the NRA code provisions govern
ing the industry until June Is avert
ed the threatened strike of around
100000 soft coal miners on April l.
The announcement of the plan for
the truce, which was proposed by the
National Industrial Recovery Board,
was made by Donald H. Richberg, act
ing chairman of the board.
During the period up to June 16
representatives of the United Mine
Workers and the operators will con-
tinue negotiations to finalize an agree
ment acceptable to both sides.
Hour and Wage Demand Remains
The deadlock which threatened the
strike on April /, when the agreement
expired, was caused by the refusal of
the operators to grant the 30-hour
week and certain wage increases de-
manded by the miners. John l.. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Work
ers, declared the acceptance of the
truce by the unicn did not indicate that
the shorter work week and higher pay
demand had been withdrawn.
Lewis Explains Truce
Mr.. Lewis's statement follows:
1.-THE United Mine Workers of
America acquiesced in this action out
of consideration to the president of the
United States and the NIRB. We have
not in any sense yielded to the coal
operators. 1t was our purpose to
make contribution to national in
dustrial stability.
I'VE agreed with the president and
the NIRB that national strike in the
bituminous coal industry at this time
would have far-reaching effect and
throughout the whole of our indus
trial and commercial fabric.
Legislation Urged
"We feel that the period of truce
to June 16, will be helpful in clarity.
ing the legislative situation as affect
ing the extension of the NRA ane
possible special legislation for the bi
luminous coal industry.
without question the coal industry
needs naturalization of its processe:
through corrective legislation. Thi'
crisis in the industry, as represented
by failure to negotiate new wage
structure, is clearly superinduced b!
the complete breakdown of the price
structure and the marketing practice
set up under the NRA.
IF the breathing spell of two and
half months provided in the settlemen
can be utilized by the congress in en-
acting corrective legislation and b
the conferes in the negotiation of
more logical wage agreement than /
now possible, then the action of tn
NIRB and the miners and operator
in agreeing to this program, will b
splendidly justified.
Protect the Public
'sThe public is entitled to protectio
from these recurring threats to it
current coal supply and the min
workers who serve the industry ar
entitled to the opportunity to earn
living without being constantly hal
assed by the CHASTITY specter of ever
recurring industrial conflict.
"The action of the president an
the NIRB, under the Craftsmanship {
Mr.. Richberg, was, after all, mo:
logical one in consideration of tt
responsibilities which they carry ar
which now so deeply affect the vel

Cnnraee and Decision
BY THOMAS HASTWELI


The story is beautifully told in the
book of Esther that on one occasion
plot was laid by Hannah, q fav-
orite of King Asasuerus, to destroy
the Jews, the people of Queen
Esther. Mordecai who had reared
Esther as his own daughter, and
had been strumental in elevating
her to the position of queen appeal
ed to Esther to appear before the
King and reveal the plot OF Hannah
and intercede for her people. AT
first the young queen demurred,
pointing out the great danger in
volved, for it was the rule In those
days that If the queen appeared be-
fore the king without having been
sent for, and he should not raise
the scepter in recognition, it meant
death. Mordecai then sent to the
queen that famous dramatic ans
wer that fired the young queen to
present to the king petition on be-
half of ther people even at the risk
of her life. Mordecai said: Think
not with myself that thou shalt es-
cape in the kings house, more than
all the Jews. For If thou altogeth-
er holdest thy peace at this time,
then shall there enlargement and
deliverance arise to the Jews from
another place, but thou and thy
fathers house shall be destroyed,
and who knowest whether thod art
come to the kingdom for such a
time as this?" There is a lesson to
every one of us in the dramatic
challenge of Mordecai's. A lesson
when we are presented with some
problem or sitlation which threat
ems to overwhelm us and crusa us.
Then is the time to stop and ask as
did Mordecai III his plea to the
queen for his people, who knows
whether thou are come to tn. king
dom for such a time as this? The
situation which threatened the
queens people became, because of
her courage, but the beginning of
a fuller recognition and happiness
for herself and all her people. It
might be well to pause and think
what different picture would have
been presented had she shrulK
from her responsibility.

It should be remembered that the
amount voted the President in this
one resolution which is to be spent
practically at his direction is great
er than the total expenditure of the
federal government for any year
from 1922 to 1881.
Effective lobbying
With further references to lobby
ing activities it is made to appear
that two organizations have done
an especially good job. refer to the
operations of the American Legion
office in Washington and its fight
for the veterans bonus, and the
activity of the various agricultural
and farm organizations who have
been fighting off certain phases of
railroad legislation.
The farmers, according to tn e
best information I can get, are OPP
posed to federal regulation of in
terState bus and truck business be-
cause they feel the proposed legis-
lation will hamper farm-to-market
hauling. I suspect that the bus and
truck group have persuaded tn e
farm representative to oppose reg
ulatory measures for BUSES and
trucks on the basis of misunder-
standing. I have made numerous
inquiries of legislative drafting ex-
perts and of house and senate
leaders respecting the point at is
sues and all have assured me that
the proposed federal regulation will
in no way apply to farm-to-market
hauling.
While the point made here is not
at all important and when farm
operators Of trucks understand it
they will doubtless shy away from
the position they have taken, it IL
lustrates how one organization will
attract many followers to its ranks
who actually ought not be there.
Now as to the bonus proposition,
it ought to be said that the Roose-
Velt administration is in a hole. So
well has the American Legion done
it's job that there is no doubt in my
mind at the moment respecting the
outcome. There will be bonus legis-
lation passed by congress at this
session. Whether it will be signed or
vetoed by President Roosevelt de-
Ponds entirely upon the nature of
the bill as it finally is passed

Ybusiness practices. It must be sale
| that for a few days, the Presidents
message did have the effect Of
slowing down lobbying activities but
the lobbyists had tasted of theil
own power. They were not to be
frightened by any Presidential at
tack nor by the threat of Senator
Black of Alabama to force through
legislation compelling lobbyists ir
Washington to register. As a matter
of cold fact, it is my conviction thai
Senator Black will find himself
thoroughly circumvent in any
move he may make to press for ac-
ton on what is generally regarded
as ridiculous piece of legisla-
ton. It is a thirty-year pro-
posal, anyway.
It all goes to show that at least
among those with the courage Of
their convictions, President Roose-
welt is not as powerful as he was
in the first of his reign Baking
tactics in congress over the public
works relief bill was but the out
ward sign of courage underneath
have reported to you heretofore
| that there were mutterings and ex-
preSSionS of discomfort within the
Presidents vast majority in the
house and senate. While the NAL
contents are not openly criticizing
the President, they are able to &C
complish their purpose by delay and
disagreement over what ordinarily
would be very minor details.
I believe it is the consensus also
that the activities of petitioners for
their rights are responsible to a
large extent for the creation of
numerous blocs in congress. It has
been observed by numerous publ
cistS that if there is danger of
Fascism in the United States, it
lies in this rise of blocs in con-
gress. The natural result is to re-
place and break up the two old-es-
tablished parties. Thus far in this
session there has been evidence
time after time of bloc activities,
one against another. This condi-
ton results in legislative trades, not
all of which result in good or even
well-written legislation.
How Will 1t Be Spent?
Now that President Roosevelt
has title to 88O,OO0,0 900 to spend
pretty much as he pleases, the
question is heard around Washing
ton more and more frequently what
is he going to do with it? The truth
is that administration plans for
utilizing this vast sum of money are
so nebulouS that no one can tell.
even the officials themselves, to
what uses it will be put. One hears
about attacking the problem of soil
erosion so that the destruction by
dust storms will occur no more, and
there is talk of many public works
projects. When one tries to find
out details of these, however, he is
promptly confronted by a stone
wall, either of silence or a frank
statement that only the outlines
have thus far been considered.
Conversations over luncheon ia
bles in Washington seem to indi-
cate that actual spending of this
money in any appreciable sum will
not get underway for some months.
In fact, there seems to be ground
for belief tina tnothing Of substan-
tial character will take place in a
spending way before next winter.
And, if that is true the comment
suggests. the great appropriation
