PARLEY FIGHTS
T0HEAL LABOR
UNION SPLIT
Two Workers Groups
and President Seek
Peace Formula
BY EDWARD B. LOCKETT
international News Service

A final, desperate effort to
close amicably the breach be-
tween two great factions of union
labor got under way today.
Two separate labor groups, and
President Roosevelt, joined in the
despairing move to bring together
the bitterly warning forceS-and
with only faint hope of success.
AS the situation stood today,
the American Federation of
Labor and the rebel Committee
for Industrial Organlza tt o n,
headed by United Mine Worker
President John L. Lewis, were as
far apart as the poles.
Even President William Green
of the A. F. of L. formally ad-
mitted the breach was a fact.
The A. F.. of L. executive coun-
Gil has met, and has called on
the United Mine Workers and
the II other unions affiliated
with it in the CLIO. to appear
and explain" their drive to
unionize the steel industry along
industrial lines-in defiance of
the federation.
And the CLIO. has answered
with blunt refusal to appear.
The council called for the mine
workers first, convened to hear
them, and heard only the read
ing of a letter in which John
Lewis said he had no idea OF
appearing. Later, the United
Textile Workers sent similar
announcement.
Green PeSsimistic
Today, the council sat again,
ostensibly to await the appearance
of other unions of the C. I. o.
but actually to give time for COM
promise efforts.
Green was frankly peSSimiStic,
but would not give up hope.

prison quieting the demonstrators.

firing squad emotionless and un-
waveringly.

and her own recipe for the brown-rice dressing
to be used with young turkey.
Miss Gahagan is particular about salads
Also and one of her preferences is vegetable
salad in which small slices of avocado are
mixed in unexpected fashion with juicy quar-
tiers of tomatoes; crisp, tender segments OF
celery; shoe strings Of raw carrots; and deli
cate hearts of lettuce. The avocado leaves an
elusive trace of flavor in your mouth -
provocative, something not quite to be de-
fined. And there is an onion trick with the
dressing she uses that gives additional interest
The buffet meal was served in the patio,
with the guests seated in congenial cliques at
small tables. This informal arrangement is
good out of doors or anywhere else, for that
matter - Miss Gahagan believes. because it
eliminates the possibility of separating kin
dred spirits.
She believes, too, that food which is meant
to be hot should be hot So the hot dishes were
carried out from the kitchen and served by the
walters after the guests were seated. But the
ham and turkey. salad and asparagus and
nuts were set on the great table. while the cof
fee service and dessert were arranged in
readiness on two smaller tables. placed at
either end of the long one.
When the moment for dessert arrived, some
Of the guests thought it good fun to go to
the table and help themselves. The Others
were served by the walters who filled their
trays with portions of each dessert. But when
one person at the table made choice. all
others felt a desire for the same thing. Hope
fully, their poker faces showing nothing but
their eyes measuring the distance back to
the service table, the walters tried to suggest
that the other dishes were equally good. And
the guests caught on" responding with gay
banter among themselves as to who might
have what.

and hostess to their many friends.
When her husband was playing opposite
Claudette Colbert in ''She Married Her Boss"
friends in Beverly Hills teased her. who
IS the boss in your household, Helen?" they
asked. Miss Gahagan turned to her maid.
Bring in the boss, Martha" she said.
And into the living room, bit unsteady on
his tiny legs. but with an unmistakable air of
authority in his bearing, toddled Peter
Gahagan Douglas, aged two.
Yes, the Douglas -Gahagan combination
definitely carries Home and Fireside" ban
ner for Hollywood. Yet there have been
times when wanderlust seized Miss Gahagan.
The singing minstrel in her began to lure
and Melvyn Douglas knew it.
He wanted to live on in California, where
a year round, out of door existence is pos
sible He wanted home for his family. So
in a secluded section of Hollywood he found a
place with spacious gardens and pink and
white hibiscus rising from patio to balcony.
When Iieien Gahagan saw it, she whispered:
''Melvyn, in place like this l think could
stay domestic"
That is how there happened to be house
warming in their family one Sunday noon
few weeks ago, on the date of their fifth
anniversary which is also Melvyn's birthday.
1t was.a a big party for seventy-fve of their
celebrated friends. ELISA Landi, Billie Burke,
Walter Connolly, William Brady and Grace
George were there. Anita Loos, Vicki Baum and
Mary Astor came, too. and the Owen Davises,
Florence and Mary Nash. and other famous
persons from New York and Hollywood.

Since stars are busy people, Miss Gahagan
was fortunate to have two mothers, her own

most of the details. Mothers are handy about

ROOSTER CROW

The Gooding tavern in Greenfield Ind, has long since disappeared but it deserves to be remembered as the birthplace of a party symbol that is still in use after nearly a century.
 Back in the thirties 1t was owned by Joseph Chapman, an ardent Dem Ocrat, who had the habit of imita- ting a rooster when exulting over victories by his party. So when his political enemies won, they taunted him by shouting: Now crow, Chapman, crow!"
 In 1840 Chapman was a candidate for the state legislature from Han cock county. In that year Democrat ic prospects were far from bright. The country still remembered the panic of 1887 and blamed Presi- dent Van Buren for it. Moreover, the

A SPEECH OF NOMINATION

Most of the reason for the title of these little stories-The Man Who, is supplied by the orators at political conventions who place the names of candidates in nomination.
 Today from the loudspeakers come to most of us convincing talks, stare lingly free of modesty, which extol- the virtues of this fayorite son or that one as his name is placed be- fore convention delegates.
 But the most successful of these nominating speeches occurred long before static was a household word. It was made in Chicago at the Re- publican convention of 1880 by James A. Garfield, and made hon estiy, in behalf of the nomination of John Sherman.
 Its net result was that Sherman failed to win the nomination but Garfield succeeded. So that Garfield later a martyred president, actually is the man who nominated himself.
 Here is how it happened. Presi- dent Hayes had pledged himself not to be a candidate. When the conye-.- tiOn opened it was plain that great efforts would be made to nominate General Grant for a third terIu. James G. Blaine was a formidable candidate but Grant had been pres ented in a glowing burst of oratOry from Roscoe Conkling, a bitter en- emy of Blaine.
 Garfield's speech in behalf of sherman followed COnkling's effort. Instead of qualifying merely as an anti-climax 1t is described by those who were there as an outstanding oratorical triumph.
 Grant, Blaine, Sherman, George F. Edmunds, Elihu B. Washburne and William Windom divided the votes until the thirty-fourth ballot Then Garfield, whose speech still resounded in the minds of the dele gates, received IT votes.
 He immediately took the floor and protested that he was there only in the interests of Sherman, whose candidacy he managed. He was ruled out of order. On the next ballot his strength had increased to 50 votes On the thirty-sixth ballot, with 399 votes, he received the nomination which his epochal speech had asked for another man.

singing Whigs" were making a powerful appeal to the voters with their shouts of 'Tippecanoe and Ty- Ter, Tool" and their log cabin and hard cider symbols.
 In the midst of the campaign, George Pattison, editor of the h. dianapolis Constitution, wrote a letter to William Sebastian of Green field in which he said: 'I have been informed by a Democrat that in one part of your county 30 Van Buren men have turned for Harrison. You must stir up the Democracy. See Chapman, tell him not to do as he did heretofore. He used to create unnecessary alarms; he must crow; We have much to crow over"
 This letter accidentally fell into the hands of the Whigs and was published in an Indianapolis paper with a view to ridiculing the Dem ocrats. But it proved to be a boom erang for the Whigs. Grow, Chap man, crow!!" became the slogan of the Indiana Democrats and spread all over the country.
 When the Indiana Sentinel was launched in 1841 it carried at the top of it's front page the picture of a proud rooster and under it was the slogan Grow, Chapman, crow!" Other Democratic newspapers began carrying the same picture and slo- gan and soon the rooster, growing proudly whether in victory or de- feat, became the accepted symbol of the Democratic party. Despite the later popularity of the donkey, it is still favorite symbol-thanks to John Chapman of Greenfield, Ind. who taught his fellow Democrats how to crow.

The newly constructed c. J. Berry placer gold dredge on Mammoth Creek near Fairbanks started oper- ations recently and is expected to be able to continue working until i1te in the fall. The new dredge has three-and a half cubic f0ot buckets and is driven by steam. The hull, bucket line and practically the en- tire dredge are new excepting the boilers. The dredge has two miles of ground before it which is expected to keep it busy several seasons. The first Berry dredge, which worked upper Mammoth, was installed by the late Clarence Berry and associ- ates in 1915 and operated until 1927. Clarence Berry and his brother Frank were two of the best known pioneer gold operators of the Klon- dike and Fairbanks camps.

Felt Effect of Flood

In speaking ot the trip, Captain Castner said; People along the Yu- kon still suffer from the damage done by the flood last spring. Live stock was lost by many along the Yukon Many interesting stories are told by people in Yukon Territory along the Yukon regarding the flood An unusual result of the flood was the cutting in two of a great black bear He was caught in an ice-jam.
 All the way down the river the people were most hospitable. The Canadians along the river had heard of our coming from the Mounted Po- lice We were greeted sometimes with the exclamation. We expected you sooner and at first were rather mystified. ."
