WAVE Of STRIKES
FEARED BY GREEN
Wagner Bill Passage Only
Can Avert Strife, Sena-
tors Are Told.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A series of strikes that would sup
set" the Nations industrial life was
forecast today by William Green.
president OF the American Feder-
alton of Labor, unless the Wagner
labor disputes bill is passed.
Testifying before the Senate Labor
Committee at hearings on the meas
ure, the A. F. of L. head said if it
is not approved I'VE must face the
fact that we are only at the beginning
Of series of strikes which will upset
the entire industrial life of our Ma
ton If we continue to deny TO work
ers their rights"
Resentment Seen Gaining.
I'VE cannot and will not con-
tinue to urge workers to have
patience, unless the Wagner bill is
made law, and unless 1t is enforced,
once it became law. There is grow
ing in the masses of American people
a bitter resentment at the position
in which they find themselves and a
deep conviction that only their own
economic strength will avail them in
their struggle against the injustices
and inequalities under which they
work"
Green joined Secretary Perkins in
support of an amendment to the bill
to place in the Labor Department the
permanent Labor Relations Board
which it would create.
Employers have nothing TO lose
through the Wagner bill" Green said.
In fact they have much to gain"
Method of Destruction.
They could not more surely 20
about the complete destruction Of
sound labor relations and of co-opera-
ton between men and management
than through their attempts 10 inter-
fere with the self-organization Of their
employees and the free choice of labor
representatives.
1T is essential for the future of in
duStry that the relations between
management and labor be put on a
more constructive basis; that the de-
fensive attitude of the employees and
the antagonism of management be re-
placed by an attitude of cooperation
on the part Of both employers and
employees.
FarFlung Spy System.
Green charged that far-fiung spy
systems had been established in in
dustry among workmen to help man
agement break up union movements.
There are two kinds of spy sys-
tens" he said In one. an employer
hires an agency to do his spying for
him. The agency furnishes men who
are put 10 work in various parts of
the plant, where they are in contact
with the workers. They profess in
tereSt IN the union, and in many cases
it is they who initiate talk Of the
union. They join any union which
may be started and attend all meet
mgs, and report at once TO the en-
ployer the fullest details.
IF the employer does not retain
an outside agency to do his spying for
him, he uses foremen and straw
bosses, or other employees whom he
calls loyal as stool pigeons, and they
make it well worth the while of work.
ers to drop the union, through giving
them better jobs, higher wages, or
assurance Of more extended work.
These espionage systems, he said,
were much used in the automobile
and steel industries.

Typical headlines were, American
air force shakes finger under Japan's
nose" American under guise of COM
mercial enterprise establishing mill
tary airportS in Pacific extending to
gates Of Japan" and Americas con-
cealed military power in the Pacific. :"
Nichi Nichi and other newspapers
quoted the unnamed naval authori-
ties as follows:
This project can be regarded as
military preparations in the guise of
civilian enterprise. Commercially and
industrially there is no justification
for extension Of American Airways to
the Pacific islands.
Since the projected routes are
close to Japan's inundated Islands,
we must give the project serious con-
sideration. The fact the permits were
issued by the Navy Department
strongly suggests the future use of
these airports for military PURPOSES
is contemplated.
Such developments menacing an
other nation are unfortunate at this
Juncture when questions of naval dis
armament are unsettled"

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Leaders in Radio Fight
Fully Satisfied
With Results.
BY PAUL MALLON.

r EADING characters in the john
-Coughlin-Lon radio brawl
are not as bitter as they seem
- to be- Inwardly they all seem
to be satisfied with results to
date Most satisfied is Gen. Johnson's
invisible second in the New Deal cor
ner
The essential strategy of the john
son attack was to give Huey and
Father Coughlin some personal ants
to scratch so they would stop scratch
ing the New Deal so vigorously. Well,
Father Coughlin announced he was
still for Roosevelt and Huey began to
be careful about what he said the day
after Johnsons speech.
To make it perfect, the Long and
Coughlin followers here believe they
won and so do the followers of the
johnson viewpoint.
Foresee Outcome.
The New Deal fight promoters have
no idea that they have settled the
heavyweight political championship
yet. But they do believe they can see
how it probably will come out. They
believe Long and Coughlin now are
at their peak: that their popularity
will play out during the next II
months because they cannot keep their
programs forever fresh and new; that
eventually their radicalism will assure
President Roosevelts reelection by
driving all conservatives into his
camp.

MOSCOW, March 14-Notice that

Germanay's plans of aggression was
served today in an authorized article
in Izvestia, the government news
paper.
1t was recently announced that the
Soviet army has been built up TO
100000 men.
Baldwin Remarks Recalled.
Stanley Baldwin. lord president of
the British Council, drew attention TO
the Russian armaments in a speech
in the House of Commons Monday
and the Communists quickly retorted
that his purpose was TO smooth over
the resentment caused in Germany by
publication of the British White pa
per-the publication which caused
Reichsfuehrer Hitler to postpone his
scheduled armaments talks with Sir
John Simon. British foreign minister.
Russian authorities pointed to the
willingness of Russia to enter the
proposed Eastern European securities
pact as one of the proofs that the
Soviet's armaments are purely de-
fenSive.
Karl Radek. one of the chief mouth
pieces of official opinion, signed to-
days articles in Izvestia.
I'VE can tell Baldwin" he wrote,
that any direct or indirect conces-
sion by English diplomacy to Ger
man aggressive plans will lead to an
increase of defensive measures by
Soviet Russia.
Peace or War Choice.
England must choose between the
decisive support of general peace or
readiness to take part in a general
war. 1t is very difficult to dance
long amcng SO many swords"
Radek said the English policy was
to hold the middle seat on teeter-
totter balancing the United States.
Japan, France, Germany. Italy and
Soviet Russia, and he warned that
the position was dangerous and
Great Britain might fall off"
Radek declared that the increase
of Soviet armamentS was brought on
by the aggressive intentions of Japan

Baruch Only One Shot.

Baruch Only One Shot.
The only one who got shot in the
Johnson n-Coughlin-Long fracas was
Bernard Baruch. Gen. johnson knew
that when he started.
1t may be doubted. but it is true
that Johnson 1rent to Baruch for
adrice about making the attack,
and Buruch adrised against it.
The fndncier felt that his friend
Johnson udS borrowing troHble.
He did not think the general
mouid accomplish anything. that
people pould not rally to him.
johnson replied he was free. white
and 2l. had a right TO express his
views, and would do SO. whether people
liked it or not. He thought this Off
hand statement so good that he later
linked it into his speech.
Roosevelt Angered.
The reason Mr.. Roosevelt sent that
strong and unusual message to Con-
gress on the holding company eradi-
cation bill was half told in his mes
sage. The holding company campaign
has been getting under his skin.
The day before the message pds
dispatched. q hot tip WaS passed
around in NeiC York and Washing
ton that the President ,Uould NTH
drGT the bill. and the aeU bank
bill, as Uell. Every important nerS
agency received it from sources
which could not be traced
Newsmen realized it was silly, but
inquired about it at the White House.
The reaction was the same as if the
holding companies had put a cactus
in the Presidents chair.
Irked by Liberals.
The withdrawal tip was really only
one needle in the cactus which spurred
the President. Another was the way
some liberals in Congress have been
talking privately about the bill, saying
it went further than they ever hoped
to go. The President was trying to
prevent any moderation of the bill
resulting from such talk.
New Deal May Quit Suit.
The New Dealers are half inclined
to back out of the pending Supreme
Court test on N. r. A. You may see
them shortly, dismiss the suit against
the Belcher Lumber Co.
This Uas the first big ~ r. A.
test to be heard BY the court this
Spring. In the face OF the courts
action on oil. the NeU Deal laUyers
are none too confident about ii.
They think it is foolish to take q
chance on an adverse decision
while the permanent form OF the
~ R. A. is undetermined in the
Senate.
Some feelers have been put out
carefully and it is understood the
Court may permit the suit to be dis
missed.
Baker Outstrips Huey.
The story Huey Long tells about
c. w. A. workers moving dirt six times
and then finally putting it back where
they found it originally, is not as good
as the relief absurdity accredited to
Newton Baker. who is on the opposite
side of the New Deal fence.

6. O.P. LEADERS HAVE INFORMAL
 GATHERING, NY.
One Presidential Boom Is Announced-Plea Made
 for P arty Unity

WASHINGTON, April 22.-A plea for Party unity and infusion of young blood. and an argument against any premature committ- ments as to candidates or a plat form were advanced to a group of leading Republicans by William AL len White, Kansas publisher, ad- dressing more than 20 high in the G. o. P. at luncheon last Satur- day.
 It was an extraordinary gathering and those attending the luncheon sounded a theme spurring regional meetings but steering away from candidates.
 Presidential Boom
 However, it was disclosed that presidential boom had been started for Gov. Alfred M Landon, of Kan sas, and this altered plans for hold ing giant G. O. P meeting in Kansas City and as result the proposed rally of Mid-western Re- publicans will be shifted from Kan sls City to either St. Louis, Chicago, Minneapolis or Indianapolis.
 The meeting Saturday, around the luncheon table, was one of the largest informal rallies since the 1882 convention.
 Still No Agreement
 The meeting engendered unity of purpose but no unanimity on the method of approach.
 The Ro osevelt Administration came in for the usual criticism.
 Some at the meeting were in- clined to view success in 1886 as depending upon centering an at tack OF the New Deal. Others felt a win could be made on the merits of the Republican Party rather than on "demerits of the opposition" Others declared the Republicans can win and will win if the Re- publicans get busy
 White favored the midwest meet ing but insisted it should be dis associated from any particular can- didatc.
