 REBELLING
 The far-famed compan unions with which certain indus tries hoped to break the back of Section "a, seem to be hav- ing trouble.
 It develops that some of these made-to -ordcr unions are rcfus- ing to "stay hitched"' to [ h companies which mothered them. Some have even become more militant than the old-line organizations.
 Chief among these Is in the steel industry.
 Although Mike Tighe. 77-ycar- old head of the A. F. of L.-afii- Hated Amalgamatcd Association of Steel, Iron and Tin Workers, has been busy expe1ling insur- gents within his ranks for de- manding aggressive action, com pany unionites have taken the offensive against the employers.
 In one plant, government officials here, the company union submitted a demand Il q t its representative be given place on the firms board of directors.
 Even more dramatic was the revolt of the company union established by the New York Telephone company. Employees were asked by the company to approve a disguised wage cut. This the union flatly refused to do.
 Moreover, 1t struck back with a counter proposal for an in- crease in pay. It claimed that undiminished dividends pa "stockholders throughout de- precision years at the expense Of the employees" warranted such raise.

Washington, April 25 - Two pie on relief have given some very definite ideas to Harry Hopkins EZRA workers regard ing the growth of radicalism in this country.
 Their conclusion is emphat- icaIIy to the effect that radicaI- ism has won an army of converts during the depression, that q large number of the 17 per cent of the population now on relief would rebel if funds were withdrawn.
 This was confirmed in a re- cent meeting of EZRA regional directors. Several stated that if relief were abolished in their district there would be reyolu- ton within few weeks.
 This also Is the private view of Harry Hopkins. And there is no question as to %iT ere his sympathies lie. Recently he said:
 "Our work is a process of education, showing the indigcnt needy that they have right to a decent subsistence"
 And at a recent conference of EZRA leaders he added: "Un- less you realize that this is fight between the hayes and the 'have-nots,' you do not be- long at EZRA headquarters" COLONEL ROOSEVELT
 President Roosevelt almost got note at the recent Grid iron club dinner that wou d have intrigued him considerably.
 Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., was q guest at the dinner, and during the course of the evening asked a waiter to de- liver q note to Maryland's tall, white-crestcd former Governor Albert C. Ritchie, who was seated some distance away.
 The note read:
 "Dcar Governor: Sister Alice (Mrs. Alice LOngwOrtlI) lS kNIuk httIC DuEty "" some friends after the dinner. She does this after every GridirOn dinner and would like very much to have you come"
 Ritchie wrote the following reply:
 "Dcar Colonel: Please tell Alice I will bc very glad to join her after the dinner"
 The waiter who had delivered "Young Teddy's" note had de- parted and Ritchie beckoned to another.
 "Do you know Colonel Roose- velt?" he asked.
 "Yes, sir"
 Give him this note, please"
 The waiter took the note and started to move away W h Il Ritchie stopped him.

Everyone down in Bridgeport doesn't agree with Mayor Jasper McLevy and his ideas. Former Lieutenant-G Governor Cliff ford E. Wilson, republican, declares that the McLevy civil service plan is nothing but a scheme to get certain office-holders life jobs. And he said as much in letter to the legislative committee on cities and boroughs. The mayors political fences are gradually being built, it would seem.

81 AUTO|STS LOSE
DRIVING LICENSES
II of Two Weeks Total
Caught Under Influence
of Liquor.

Eighty-one automobile drivers per-
mits were revoked or suspended by the
Board of Revocation and Restorations
from August to Is, statistics revealed
yesterday.
OF these, 81 were for driving while
under influence of liquor Twelve Of
these were District motorists driving
in the District, seven local motorists
caught driving under influence of
liquor in Maryland. another seven in
Virginia and one in New Jersey. Other
causes for the revocation included 20
for reckless driving, II for leaving the
scene Of an accident after colliding
and IL for speeding.
The offenses causing the revocations
and suspensions were committed sew
eral weeks prior to being acted upon
by the board.
The new District automobile opera
tors financial responsibility law,
which went into effect August l, had
been invoked in only one case up to
yesterday, 1t was revealed at the office
of Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer. The case was a colored man
convicted of driving while drunk and
who, up to yesterday, had not taken
out the required insurance to permit
him to drive again in the District.
The case is the only one coming
under the new law which has been
reported to the Office of the director
of the traffic by the courts.
The new law applies to persons con-
victed of driving while drunk, to
those convicted of leaving the scene of
an accident without making their
identity known in cases where there
has been some one injured. and to
persons failing to settle within 80
days court Judgment against them
for damages for 500 or more as the
result of an automobile accident.
1t takes several days for the court
cases to be reported to the traffic di-
rector's Office because of the routine.

ting Funds and Eliminating
Regular Inspectors.

All officers of the Metropolitan
police force have been empowered BY
the Commissioners to make inspec-
tions Of all places licensed to deal in
alcoholic beverages without having
obtained warrants.
1t had been understood the Alco-
holic Beverage Control Board could
call on the police for aid in enforcing
regulations adopted under the liquor
act, but the new step was taken to
avoid any possible handicap.
The step was taken by adoption of
an amendment to the liquor regula-
tions stating:
All applicants for licenses and per-
sons holding licenses under the act
shall allow any member of the board
Alcoholic Beverage Control Boardl
or any duly authorized inspector Of
the board. or any member of the Met
ropolitan Police Department, full op-
portunity and every facility to ex-
anime at any time during business
hours the premises where any bey-
erage is manufactured. kept, or sold,
or for which a license is asked or has
been granted" :..
Earlier this month the A. B. C.
Board on its own initiative appoint
ed all police officers to act as in
spectors for the board. Chairman
George W. Offutt said the purpose
was to open all licensed premises to
police so they would not be required
to have search warrants.
This action was forwarded to Cor
poration Counsel Prettyman for an
opinicu, and he ruled only the Com
missioners held power of such ap-
pointments. While he believed the
Commissioners could legally designate
policemen as inspectors" for the A.
B. C. Board, he suggested as better
step the change in the regulations
which the Commissioners approved.
The whole move is an outgrowth of
the action of Congress 10 reducing
appropriations for the board so that
it had to drop six of its eight in
spectors.

CzechoSlovakia. according to an Asso-

The bomb, disguised as a book, man.

According to police, the bomb was
mailed to Mrs. Johann Lukasc, living
in CzechoSlovakia, from Pittsburgh,
Pa. Her husband was sentenced to
serve IL years in the penitentiary in
connection with the case.
The Pittsburgh post Office became
suspicious that the package contained
narcotics, and sent it to Washington,
where it exploded upon being opened.
Postal inspectors said they never
had charged Drotar with completely in

TINY BLOC PER|LS
BOTH LEAVE BILLS
Unless Senate Yields on
Amendment, Entire
Plan May Fail.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

The annual and sick leave bills are
in dangerous" situation, according
to Chairman Ramspeck of the House
Civil Service Committee. sponsor Of
this legislation. The interests of some
$4,000 workers are imperiled by an
amendment providing for about 300
local employees of the mail equipment
shop.
With adjournment of Congress,
scheduled for this week. unless the
House and Senate conferees agree on
the leave bills they are likely to fail
in the closing rush. The House
adopted amendments to both the 30
day annual leave and the l5-day sick
leave bills, excluding the employees OF
the mail equipment shops. This ac-
ton was taken because of an agree
ment between Chairman Ramspeck
and Chairman Mead of the Post ONCE
Committee. under which postal work.
ers would get 40-hour week and all
other Government employees would
have 30-days' annual leave, instead of
the present 15-days' leave.
Amendment Adopted.
But when the leave bill reached the
Senate, the equipment shop workers
got busy and had the Senate Civil
Service Committee adopt an amend
ment by which they are included in
the annual sick-leave bills. In order
that this relatively small group of
postal workers may not have double
benefits, Chairman Ramspeck and
other members of the House Civil
Service Committee are opposed to this
Senate amendment.
II the Senate is willing to yield ON
that amendment, the House will agree
to other Senate amendments and the
legislation can 60 through promptly,
Chairman Ramspeck said last night.
There was an agreement, Chairman
Ramspeck explained, under which the
20O, 900 postal workers were to be sat-
isfied with the 40-hour week with
out demanding increased leave, and
the 350,000 other Government en-
ployes would accept the 80 days leave
King Asked for Delay.
Chairman King of the Senate Dis
trict Committee blocked consideration
of the leave bills Friday. saying he
wished additional time to consider
some of the amendments The bills
are LIKELY to come up again in the
Senate tomorrow or Tuesday. and
Chairman Bulow of the Senate Civil
Service Committee said there was
grave doubt of their passage if serious
opposition is shown. He expressed a
desire to get favorable action and
said he would do his utmost to have
them approved in a form that would
not endanger a complete agreement
If they are thrown into conference
between the House and Senate in the
closing rush.

sizing the injustice of giving double

ers, said he would not oppose the
Senate amendments regarding Canal
