"LET DOWN"
YOUTH, PARLEY TOLD
Young People Seek Leaders Among
Own Ranks, Y. M. C A.
Kew Men Hear.

Disappointed by the failure of many
of its older leaders, the youth of
America is seeking leadership within
its own ranks. DR.. Homer p. Rainey,
director of the American Youth Com
mission, told the Y. M. c. A. key
mems conference yesterday.
Disclosure that many leaders, both
in public and private life, were un-
trustworthy. DR.. Rainey said. has re-
suited in widespread confusion among
young men in recent years. This. he
said, has led to development of q
cynical attitude on the part of youth
and a determination to develop its
own leadership.
This determination, he said. was
manifested at the recent World Youth
Conference, where the demand for
better leaders was made.
The two-way conference. held at
Holiday House on Mount Vernon
Boulevard, was concluded with re-
port by B. E. Phillips, assistant phy-
sical director at the Washington "Y'
on his trip to the Olympics, and an
address on Fellowship by Page McH
Etchison, Y. M. C. A. religious work
director. All arrangements were made
by Ralph w. Foster. physical director

President Roosevelt almost lost the
chief of staff of the Army when he
recently appointed Maj. Gen. Malin
Craig to the Harvard University Ter
centenary Commission, of which the
president will be ex-oficio chairman,
It was disclosed today.
When Gen. Craig went to the once
II Mai. Gen. Arthur w. Brown, Judge
advocate general of the Army, TO oe
sworn in as a member of this COM
mission it was discovered that there
ID a new law which prohibits an offi-
Ger in the active service of the Army
from accepting any other office re-
curing an oath, and which stlpu-
lates that in the event the of1cer
st1bscribes to such oath he relin-
uuishes automatically his Army status
President Roosevelt did not know OF
this law when he thought ne would
honor the chief of staff; neither did
the latter. Fortunately, the judge ad-
vocate general did and as result the
President has been required to appoint
Mai. Gen. Dennis c. Nolan, retired, in
place Of Gen. Craig. The law does
not apply to retired officers. Another
interesting feature of this legal de-
velopment is the fact that this law
does not apply to an active officer Of
the Navy. Therefore, Admiral. VIII

BRING PROTEST.
Lodge 139, A. F. Of G. E.,
to Present Three-Point
PROGRAM to Hopkins.

Protesting the dismissal yesterday
Of 284 employees from the Projects
Control Division, w. p. A. Lodge 139
of the American Federation Of Gov
ernment Employees will present
three-point program to Administrator
Harry F. Hopkins for the correction
of existing personnel grievances.
Action was taken at q meeting Of
q large group of the dismissed EN-.
ployes yesterday afternoon at the
Washington Hotel, when w. p. A.
union officials pledged their support
in an effort to have them replaced
in other Federal agencies. Arthur
Stein, president. presided, and reso-
luton stating their case was referred
to the Grievance Committee for ac-
ton. A copy Of the resolution will
be forwarded to the White House.
Points Of Demands.
The demands follow:
l. That enough employees be re-
tanned in the Projects Control Diyi-
sion to avoid "speed-up" methods and
overtime work.
2. That the dismissed employees be
given preference in other w. p. A.
openings or with other Federal agen-
cies requiring additional personnel,
and that an order be issued making
it mandatory upon w. P. A. admins
trative officials to flll vacancies or
new jobs from the names listed with
the Replacement Division
8. That w. P. A. project be Gre
ated to provide employment for all
dismissed employees at regular classi-
fled salaries instead of security
wages"
Henry Ryan, lodge delegate to the
Central Labor Union, outlined the
demands. While assuming that the
slackened work Of the Projects Con-
troll Division justified reduction in
the force, he pointed out 1t was "a
responsibility of the Government" to
provide employment.
1t was reported at the meeting that
Dallas bort, chief investigator of W..
P. A., had held that efficiency, seniori-
ty and the number of dependents of
an employe be taken into considera-
ton when dismissals were necessary.

RAIL LABOR ACT
ATTACKED IN SUIT.
virginian Railway Co. Con.
tends Law Violates
Constitution.
By the Associated Press.

oy tue AoSOClhteQ FIcSo.
An attack on provisions Of the rail-
way labor act authorizing collective
bargaining between representatives Of
the employees and the carriers was
filed in the Supreme Court yesterday
by the Virginian Railway Co.
1t contended the legislation, passed
in 1926 and amended in 1884. vio-
lated the Constitution by depriving it
of liberty and property and attempt-
ing to regulate labor relations with
employees engaged solely in intrastate
activities.
The railroad appealed from rulings
by the Eastern Virginia Federal Dis
trict Court and the Fourth Circuit
Court of Appeals requiring 1t to ne
gotiate concerning disputes with a
unit of the American Federation Of
Labor.
In an election conducted by the Ma
tional (Railway) Mediation Board, set
up by the act, the railroads machin-
lists, boiler makers, blacksmiths, elec-
tricians and sheet metal workers voted
for representation in collective bar
gaining by System Federation No.
20" Of the railway employees depart
ment of the labor federation instead
of by an already existing company
union.
In its challenge Of the act the rail-
road told the Supreme Court that
compulsory provisions of the legisla.
ton compel it ito recognize a labor
union as a factor in the conduct Of
its business and deny to it its inherent
right to deal directly or through other
representatives with such of its en-
ployes as desire so to deal"
1.-The carrier" it added. "is de-
prived of the right to bargain or con-
tract with those of its employees who
do not desire such representa-
ton ..
THE liberty to refrain from en-
tering into contracts is a part of the
liberty of contract, so that legisla-
tion which compels the making Of
contractual agreements is as much a
deprivation Of liberty and property
as is legislation forbidding or inter-
fering with such agreements"

MADE VOTE LEVER.
New Dealers Held Trying
to Win Workers. Votes
by Threat Tactics.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
The Republican National Commit
tee charged last night that New Deal
ers are trying to win the votes Of
w. P. A. workers in Somerset and
Cambria Counties, Pa, by telling them,
eff Landon is elected, all w. P. A. re-
lief work will stop"
The committee said an investigation
also showed threats were being used
tA silence criticism of projects in that
district.
In issuing the statement, the Re-
publican Committee announced that
from now until election it would pub
nsh at regular intervals stories dis
closing the subversive methods Of the
New Deal in its effort to buy, boom
doggle and browbeat' the electorate. p"
The disclosures, it said, will cover every
part of the country.
Clark Assails Bacon.
The Republican Committee issued
its statement as Senator Clark, DEM
ocrat, of Missouri and Representative
Bacon, Republican, of New York car
ried on their running fire for and
against the New Deal.
Replying to Bacon's attack on his
activity as committee Of one" for
President Roosevelt, the Missouri Sen
ator called his critic "a former prom
inent Wall street banker (who) cannot
understand the political philosophy of
an effort by the party in power to win
elections by direct appeal to the
people"
In his statement Bacon attributed
to the New Deal this motto: "Vote
for Roosevelt because he will give
you much in public plunder."
The administration, he said, nov
has converted the National Emer-
gency Council into a gigantic cam
paign organization to furnish New
Deal State committees with itemized
tables of administration loans and
grants by States in the un-American
effort once more to compel unfortu-
nate people to vote for the New Deal
on the plea of Don't bite the hand
that's feeding you"
Says Funds Solicited.
Bacon asserted a compilation show
ing Texas had received nearly a bill
lion dollars in Federal loans and
grants was used in soliciting a
$250,000 campaign fund in that
State.
Senator Clark's statement congrat-
ulated Representative Bacon "for sup
plying the high light of comedy to an
extremely drab Republican cam
p6ign."
Bacon's charge that his committee
of one" letters we're coercive, he said
as one of the most preposterous and
absurd emanations to appear in print
since Gutenberg first invented NOV
able type" He added that responses to
his letters had been numerous and
gratifying.
