strangely enough, he and many
 other regular democratic pOliti-
 clans believe that the party is
 under 8 great handicap because
 it failed to play politics with WPA
 and other emergency agencies to
 the extent which politicians nor-
 mally would be expected to play.
 Some of the democratic profess sionals are especially sore at Hop kinS because he refused to COG operate with Farley sufficiently to let Governor Brann appoint the WPA administrator in Maine. They believed that good Brarn democrat on tie job could have won the senatorial election for the governor.
 And, of course, if you want to see Farley bounce off the ceiling, just suggest to him that he put Rex Tugwell on the stump!

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

Speaking of power, court in Ten
nessee has issued an order forbidding
the city of Chattanooga to sell its
power bonds, or to begin work in any
on a public power distributing plant
The order was secured by the Tennes-
see Electric Power Company, which
claims 99year monopoly of fur
nishing current to Chattanooga. 1t is
temporary, only; but these temporary
injunctions have the bad habit OF
growing permanent.
Just to show you what this means
in actual cash, a household in Chat
tanooga pays S2.38 for DO kilowatt
hours a month. A household in Taco
ma, Washington, pays $1.80 for 100
XVIII. month; Tacoma pays $40,
and Chattanooga pays $4.58. Tacoma
has a publicly owned plant. Chatta-
nooga buys from the T. E. P. Co.

A world event Of considerable i'm
portance will soon occur in Washing
ton, d. G. That is the meeting of the
Third World Power Conference, which
opens September and closes Septem-
Der IL. President Roosevelt will
speak before the conference Septem-
ber IL, and at the conclusion of his
address will press button to set the
first of the Boulder Dam generating
units going.
A feature of this conference will
be banquet held in the waiting room
of the union station. A grander din
ing room certainly never was even
dreamed by Aladdin. Morris L. Cooke,
who is doing an astounding work as
rural electrification administrator,
probably was the originator of this
bright idea about the union station;
though he won't say so. Delegates
from so countries, with their wives
and associates, will dine there
Ihe real work OF the conference,
of course, is to swap ideas on the
development of power, by any and all
methods. Mr.. Cooke holds that this
is extra important, because we are
approaching the power age
In that, Mr.. Cooke is too conserva-
tive. We are in the power age. The
use of power-steam, electricity,
what you willis the greatest differ
ence between the ancient world and
the world today. The automobiles
alone in any one of dozen states
probably deliver twenty times the
power that could have been mustered
from every horse, mule, donkey, OK,
camel, buffalo and water wheel in the
Roman Empire.

over such violations is invested in the
Federal Bureau of Investigation. whose
Omen have solved numerous cases
involving Ship-scuttling, piracy and
other crimes on the high seas.
Since mutinous conduct can occur
only among actual members OF a crew
the mutiny laws do not apply to strike
organizers or others who may en-
deavor to induce members Of a crew to
strike.
The two laws directly applying to
mutiny are known as Sections 292 and
293 Of the criminal code. Section 2S2
makes 1t Federal crime to "incite
revolt or mutlny on shipboard," but
limits its penalties to offenders who
are members Of the crew. Thus a nom
crew member apparently could not be
prosecuted for inciting a mutiny. The
section specifies certain acts as mu-
tinous, viz, disobedience of or resist
ance to "the lawful orders Of the mas
ter or other officer" refusal to per-
form or neglect of their proper duty
on board" betrayal Of their proper
trust" assembly with others lin
tumultuous and mutinous manner,
rioting, or unlawful confinement OF
the master or other commanding Of
ficer. The penalty for inciting such
acts Is up to five years Imprisonment
or not more than $1,000 fine. or both
Section 293 covers the actual crime
of revolt or mutiny on shipboard.
1t reads:
Whoever, being of the crew OF q
vessel of the United States. on the
high seas, or on any other waters
within the admiralty and maritime
Jurisdiction Of the United States, un-
lawfully and with force or by fraud
or intimidation, usurps the command
of such vessel from the master or
other lawful oficer in command there
of, or deprives him Of authority and
command on board. or resists or pre-
vents him in the free and lawful ex-
ercise thereof, or transfers such au-
thority and command to another not
lawfully entitled thereto, is guilty OF
a revolt and mutiny and shall be
fined not more than $4,000 and i'm
prisoned not more than 10 years"
Courts have construed this law to
apply to ships tied up in port. as well
as on the high seas. If an American
ship Is in a foreign port, the law
continues in force.
Section 3sl outlaws violent inter
ference with foreign commerce and
mentions particularly use OF fire or ex-
plosives to destroy cargo.
Section 502 is similar to 3Sl. ex-
cept that it applies to arson, bombing
or other destruction Of the vessel Itself
or its navigating equipment.
The So-called racketeering statute,
enacted in 1884 to strengthen powers
of the Federal Bureau Of Investiga-
ton, has a clause making Its provi-
sions applicable in cases where for
eign commerce. as we'll as interstate
trade, are subjected to force, violence,
coercion, the payment Of money or
other valuable considerations, or the
purchase or rental of property or pro-
tective services"

BY REX COLLIER.

There is no dividing line between a
ship strike and a mutiny, but there
is q sharp demarcation between mutiny
and refusal of seamen to renew their
employment contracts-which is why
the Department Of Justice is main
tanning hands-off policy in the cur
rent maritime squabble.
Mutiny is crime against the Gov
ernment, whether 1t consists Of a
violent overthrow of a ships COM
mand at sea-as in the historic case
OF H. M. S. Bounty in the days OF
Cap'n Bligh-or q refusal OF seamen
70 work as required by their contracts
when the ship is tied up in dock.
When a sailors contract with his
employer expires, however, as it auto
matically does upon completion Of a
stated voyage, he has a legal right to
quit the ship, and he cannot oe
prosecuted under the several sections
OF the United States criminal code
relating to mutiny.
Although Department of Justice
officials have declined TO discuss the
present shipping difficulties. 1t Is
known they are watching the situa-
ton closely, with a view to taking ap-
propriate action in the event Of viola
ton OF the criminal laws.
It has been reported that some OF
the East Coast seamen who have gone
on a sympathy" strike for their Pa
cific Coast brethren are committing
technical violations of the mutiny
laws, in that their contracts with ship
operators have not expired. 1t is ex-
tremely unlikely. however. that crimi-
nal prosecutions will be instituted
against them, for it is the apparent
attitude of the administration to seek
q settlement Of the dispute through
arbitration.
Among overt acts which would
make offenders liable to criminal
prosecution under mutiny or other
maritime laws are:
!. Inciting or conspiring with otherl
to incite a mutiny among members Of
legally-signed ships crew, whether
the ship Is In port or at sea.
2. Participation in such a mutiny
which has been defined as embracing
any actual strike by legally-signec
crew members.
3. Any violent or destructive inter
ference with foreign commerce, either
aboard ship or on the dock.
T. Any tampering with ships en-
gagged In foreign commerce. including
injury to vessel or its navigating
equipment.
Moreover, under a broadly -phrasee
act passed at the last session of Con-
gress, the Coast Guard could be sent
into action to enforce any of these
laws, with full authority to board yes.
