 Washington, July 13.-(UP).-An industrial union" includes in it's membership all workers in an indus try. such as iron and steel manu- facturing-whether unskilled, serii- skilled or skilled, or whether they work by hand or head.
 Under it's procedure, the wage. earners in each plant are organized Into local unions, and these in re- turn, through district organizations, are integrated into national unions.
 The industrial unions basis of ac- ton and It's economic strength, therefore, are re5lgned to be co- equal and coterminous with the management or ownership of indus try itself.
 Craft Union Restricts
 A "craft union," on the other hand, restricts It's membership to skilled workers in @ trade or occu- patton such \as carpenters, locomo. tive engineers, granite cutters, and so on through-more than Q hun- dred classifications.
 They are the outgrowth and a survival of a past period in Ameri- can economic development of more than Q half century ago when in- dustrial enterprises were small and highly localized, and when human skill and training were the domin- ant factors in industry.
 They cannot cope effectively with the problems which confront indus trial workers employed in the basic. mass production industries of the present day.
 Subordinate To Machine
 Tn modern America, human skill and training have been suborinated to machines, and to new technolog- ical methods and processes.
 Machine operatives and other erla- ployes for mills and factories may be requited and trained within a very short time. Skilled craftsmen usually machine maintenance work ers-constitute only @ very small proportion of the operating forces.
 Modern basic industry is also or- ganized on a national basis. Its cor- porate units, often located in many

washington, July 13-"This gen. gnfiOn has Q rendezvous with des. tlny," said President Roosevelt ir Uns of the big lines of his Philadel' phia speech.
 Did the president make that onC Alp hirnself2 or did he crib 1t, ir essence, from one of his most per- sIstent criticsP
 The only reason for raising the point Is that David CuShman Coyle wrote in the final chapter of hic book called Brass Tacks":
 aAmerica, as Walter Lippmann said, has an appointment with destiny"
 And in . new simplified version ae the earlier book, entitled "Un- common Sense," Coyle paraphraseS @ say:
 nThis generation, az Walter Elppman once said, has an ap. pointment with destiny"
 Lippmann is Q newspaper column ist who again and again has taken tho president and the New Deal tc task for various policies. FavOrite of Roosevelt
 Coyle is one of Roosevelt's favor orite authors. His friends say the president has been considerably in. fiuenced by his writings and that the philosophy of his acceptance speech was closely akin to Coyle's.
 For instance, C0yle writes: For @ years the American people have Seen fighting against trusts and 1za0nopolles. The people have been 6eaented again and again, while Che masters of high finance have extended their power"
 Democrats may be expected tc push circulation of Coyle's newest book much in the same way as rec publicans have promoted James P Warburg's "Hell Bent for Election and "still Hell Bent. Norris Undecided on Race
 Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska will decide whether to stand for reelection or persist in his refusal to run, in accordance with relative success of Q current drive by his friends to gather petitions to put him on the ballot as an inde- pendent.
 if he concludes that there's a large, sincere demand for his can- didacy, he will get into the fight. Otherwise not.
 Reports i'm Washington indicate tmat if the senator does decide to run he will face one of the hard ct contests of his long career. The aemOcratic candidate, Terry Car- penter, is an accomplished rabble. rOuser and the choice of the T0wnsendites. The republican candidate, Bob Simmons, will have the support of most conservatives.
 Although the state democratic or- ganization, headed by Arthur Mul- len and Senator Burke has repudi- ated Carpenter and endorsed Norris, friends of the veteran Independent senator doubt whether that group wants Norris to win or can be depended on for effective aid. If Norris runs, however, he will have the full support of Roosevelt.
 
 EcOnOmists-and Buttons
 Charlie Nicholson, the democratic party's boss press agent, recently hired Q prominent economist to help his publicity staff during the cam paign.
 "Now what do you want me to do2" the economist asked.
 "If I knew what I wanted you to do, I'd do 1t myself" Nicholson replied. "You see this button on my coatsleeve? It's useless. It doesn't button anything. But you look funny if you don't have Q button there.
 "Thats the way with an econ- omist. He doesn't button anything. But people think it's funny If you don't have one."

 The administration has been fol- lowing developments closely both in regard to the family quarrel" and the c. I. o. campaign to unionize the steel industry, but two New Deal figures took pains to emphasize that the President has refrained from any interference.
 Naturally, we are hoping that nothing will prevent labor from keeping peace in its own house." As- sistant Secretary of Labor Edward P. McGrady said. "But the gov- ernment has not been called in and has not intervened."
 Workers Called to Colors
 Major George L. Berry, head of labor's non-partisan league, issued @ formal statement emphasizing the falsity of reports that anyone erl- rolling in the league automatically commits himself to the industrial form of unionism" because Lewis is on the leagues board. He also made an appeal to "the millions of unorganized and inarticulate work CTS" of the nation to aid in re-elec- ton of MT. Roosevelt as "the great est friend of labor ever to occupy the White House."

Learning Languages

Educators are still seeking the ideal foreign language course. Formerly Stu- dents in high school or college who stud- led French and German learned some grammar and read some books, but most 0f them finished their study without be- ing able to speak the language or even to understand 1t when they heard 1t spoken. linen came the wave of emphasis on con- sersation. The idea was to learn the lan- 4l1age as naturally as possible and to speak it while learning it, as child learns 70 talk in the language of the people sur- xounding him. That seemed to be an irn- movement.
 "A But 1t Is hard to know language with out knowing it's people. Recently school supervisor of foreign languages admitted that many of the pupils who study French leave the schools without any notion of Che real France" So a new type of course zs to be introduced next term. Pupils will study France as a nation, considering, nlong with the language, it's government, general economic status, customs, admin Etxntion of justice, End social problems. Whether or not this improves pupils an4uage sldll, # ought to improve his understanding of history, political science a1ad international affairs.

Neutrality Puzzle

The more we hear and think about neu- trality, the more complicated the subject becomes. Neutrality in international law is defined as "the condition of state or government which refrains from taking part, directly or indirectly, in war be- tween other powers" Merely refraining from going to war with one or the other belligerents, considered an act of neutral ity, might be construed by one side as an unfriendly act toward them and a friend ly act toward the other.
 Directly or indirectly" is a phrase that probably will require a great deal of in- depreciation and clarification before the diplomats get everything strengthened
 out. It is a good thing, however, for cit- izens to see some of the difficulties and to discuss them and think about them pri- vately while government representatives work at them officially. If the world is ever going to end the war ovil, 1t must sec causes and effects and C. cs more plainly than 1t has ever seen them in the past.

The editor of the Connecticut State Journal, the republican organ for this state, endeavors to make a parallel case to the now famous Goodsell episode in which Lewis 0oodsell of Bethel, Young Republican organizer, was discharged as an investigator for the State Tubercu- losis Commission by orders of the State Board of Finance and Control. The board objected to MT. Goodsell partici- pating in the Waterbury election of last October when he was a state employe. The parallel, 50 declares Mir. Hendrick of the State Journal, is the case of John F. Robinson of this city, who is state presi- dent of the Young Democrats and an enploye of the State Tax Department. That's about as far as the comparison can go. We can't recall any instance where the local man used the state time or auto- mobile to engage in political business. He has managed to keep both occupations fairly well separated.

Nothing Quite Like It

Nothing can quite compare with the enthusiasm of republicans in various states of the union right now. They have President Franklin D. Roosevelt confined to exterior darkness without one single vote being cast against him. It's sort Of A rite now with republicans to chant their victory song. But when men like Colonel Frank Knox declare that the republicans face the hardest election pat tle since 1806 this coming fall, they give reason for pause in extravagant g.o.p' claims of victory.
 Astute newspaperman and politician the Colonel knows by this time that wnat is going to take place next November IS not too directly related to the events or fine present moment. He is able to see that where one small section may be ex- pressing violent dissatisfaction with the New Deal. others aren't. And those others mieht include vast wide territories, ernbracing many votes. And that's the way 1t stands right now and probably VIII next November.
 Your guess Is as good as mine as to tne outcome of next November's voting, nut when it comes time to lay wagers youn find that the wise ones will be betting on the "ins". It would take powerful re- publican candidate to defeat President Roosevelt this fall and the most powerful one that we can see right now, Senator William Borah, isn't exactly enthused over the prospect of opposing Roosevelt When conditions are that way democrats do not have to do too much worrying over tl1A national slate. They should center their attention on local candidates.

The importance of winter sports visitors, and the trade they make for storekeepers, inns, sporting goods dealers, etc., in New England, is just beginning to Dc realized. within tho last two or three years this winter vacation business hes increased tremendously, in northern New England particularly.

Their numbers have increased 50 rapidly that one New HarnrShife town, Pete erDorough, is planning to build Q "ski village" with . central club house Of rustic architecture, outly- ing, log cabins of modest but com- fortabie layout, etc., on the slopes of Mt.

 Tn New Hampshire alone there are no less than 20 well recognized and patroniSed skiing districts, trails and slides, and almost aB many clubs. Many of them arc on the slopes of mountainG where the snow B generally deep enough from early December to late March to attract visitors. Vermont has about c half dozen famous ski trails and slides. Massachusetts boasts ct least three that are well and favorably known, and even Connecticut has gone in for the sport. Salisbury, Lakeville, stockbridge, Canaan and, in general, the upper Litchheid county section, are well supplied with ski trails, Q number of winter sports club and several spectacular jumps. Vermont and New Hamp- shire both have many ski trails equipped with "ski tows." First used in woodstock, Vt., In New England, the "ski tow" is simply Q means of pulling the ski enthusiasts up the hills after they have slid down. Some of these "tows" are endless belts operated over c series of pul- leys by Q donkey engine or other device. The ski sportsman takes hold o fthe moving rope, holds on and leans slightly backward.

Noah,s Biz Flood

New discoveries announced by the 0e- ologlcal Society of America reveal, as a result of new sounding methods, that the water of the deep seas is about mile higher than it used to be. The "conti- mental shelf" of the oceans, an under water area adjoining the continents, is found almost everywhere to be cut by deep canyons and valleys, just like high lands bordering the sea. The natural con. clusion is drawn that these canyons and valleys were made by streams on the edges of the continents in former times. Why then are they at the bottom of the sea now? Either because the continents sank or because the waters rose. Probably 1t amounts to the same thing.
 Anyway, the practical result is that, in most parts of the world, the sea as meas ured by the persent level of It's shores is evidently about a mile higher than 1t used to be. And this fact is taken by some scientists to corroborate the story of Noah's flood.
 Now, a rise of a mile in the ocean level would mean lot of rain. There couldn't be that much water in the atmosphere at any time. But the scientists don't mean to suggest that all this rise occurred in the lifetime of one man. It must have taken vast ages and great changes in the earth's crust. Long observation and tra- dition, they say, might have given rise to the Noah story. The usualy scientific ex- planation has been that the biblical flood, If a historical event, merely cov- cred Mesopotania.
