arrived. When the official noticed

the laughing comment that he would

sensed just what was amiss, so she

preferred drink for her well-known

with Mary up ahead, but knew it would just
as certainly happen if they had been holding
her on both sides by each hand and ankle.
And something did happen. A face flashed
so close in front of Mary's that she could have
touched it. She merely glimpsed the square
shoulders pressed against the wall but she
saw the face. For an instant incredulity rem
dered her speechless. Then, thrusting out her
head at the risk of bashing in her brains, she
gave cry.

there was no use running after Mary.
She would come back in her own sweet

BEHIND THE SCENES IN WASHINGTON
By Rodney Butcher


 WASHINGTON May, Copyright, 1856 by NEA Service, Incl - Several developments on the labor front point to ntensfcation of the long struggle be- tween employers and employees in industry.
 These include unprecedented political activity by labor groups evidence of oppressive tactics of sensa- tonal nature the rise of labor organizations to demand voice in fields, and likelihood of a Senate ln- vesgation of industrial practices nimcal to labor or ganzation
 The old-faShoned conception of the employer as benevolent parsonage with the welfare of his work at heart though still must apply in many cases, has taken jolt with the revelation reported to have been made in Senate probe that ma industries secretly buying stores of machine guns, tear gas revolvers and ammunition, in anticipation of labor strikes.
 The evidence was found by the Senate Munitions Committee in the files of Federal Laboratories 1nc of Philadelphia dealers in tear and nauseatng gase who handle pistols, and machine guns on the side.
 These revelations being used as talking point by President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Work ers head of the industrial union movement and will be followed up by the La Toilette subcommittee in its preliminary hearings which will be used to base request for full investigation of violations of civil rights.
 The Natonal Labor Relations Board has a vast store of evidence to industrial espionage which is being placed before the subcommittee and which has direct bearing on enforcement of the Wagner labor disputes act-probably the most commonly houted law in the country today
 It has been common practice, this evidence ndicat- es, for large corporation to employ stoo pigeons to join labor unions, make reports the unions affairs
The Nome daily nugget., 1936-05-27

and memberships and to obstruct or nulify their work from the inside Activities of labor spies would be first on the investigations agenda
 If is also proposed that the committee cover the whole field of civil liberties violations
 Obviously, the exposure and denunciatlon of these ol,eoed tactic cs-with recommendation for legislation in some cases-would aid militant labor organizers. If would also accrue to the benefit of the Roosevelt ad ministration which will have the support of organized labor and pose as it's champion while it's opposition has the support of the American Liberty League, chiefly nresentatve of ant-union employers.
 Organization of Labors Non-Partisan League by Georoe Berry of the pressmen, Lewis of the miners and Sidney Hman of the clothing workers is import ant because it will be difficult for the other A. F. of l.. leaders to avoid playing along with them
 With Berry at it's head, the movement can't be branded by Bill Green and conservative leaders as mere offshoo of the LeWisHillman Committee for h. dustral Organization.
 The leagues support of Roosevelt means that 160- 900 miners and 10000 workers in Pennsylvania, and 236 OO0 needle trades workers in New York, probably will be delivered to the national Democratic ticket in November.

lay mind to understand how thing can be stabilized without controlling it.
 The truth is that the whole situation has fallen into state of grotesque paradox and complete uncer tainty.
 What congress will do will be to pass some sort ol bill-absolutely no one can predict at the moment what it will be-and then go home hoping for the best from Providence and the Supreme Court

PARADOXES FACE LEADERS OF BOTH POLITICAL PARTIES SOLVING FARM PROBLEM
By Byron Price

Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Wn D. C.
 Almost beyond belief are the confusions which beset the leaders of both political parties as they their efforts to do something about the farm pro- blem.
 The situation would be almost comic if it did not involve important industry and the fortunes of many millions of people,
 Toward this industry and these people the fed eral government has assumed obligation which it scarcely dares disavoW and which it does not know with what certainty how to fulfill It has bear by the tail
 The new administration program is called "sol erosion" program. That is, plan for preventing the soil from wasting away Actually what everybody wants is exactly opposite. If sufficient number of were to disappear entirely, there would be farm problem
 Mr. Hoover, who may almost claim to have orig mated the word "regmentation' comes forward with the suggestion that direct government subsidy be granted to farmers who would then turn to raising what the government thinks they should
 Meantime, after all the Republican assaults on the AAA it is the Republican leader of the senate McNary of Oregon, who haStens to introduce appropriation bill to pay money still due under the AAA con- tracts.
 Begetting Confusions
 These confusions grow out of other confusions which go good way back.
 In 1882 one of the great political parties adopted platform condemning any policy which would make the government "a speculator in farm products, and also the unSound policy of restricting agricultural production to the demands of the domestic market
 In the year the other great party said in it's platform that 'the fundamental problem of American agriculture is the control of production to such vol tune as will balance supply with demand
 It scarcely would be guessed today, but the party making the first of these two declarations the Dem ocratic party and the subscribing to the second the Republican party.
 After the election the Democratic party leaders proceeded with farm plan which took millions of dol lars worth of and cotton off the market and gave the government direct stake in farm prices It also launched on the most comprehensive program of re- strictng production yet conceived.
 Whereupon, the Republican party leaders object ed loudly to the control of production which their par ty platform had endorsed and to government specua- tion in farm prices which the Democrats had charged of the chief evils of the Hoover farm board
 ReWard A Headache
 A headache is the reward of those who try to fig ure this out.
 That has been the reward likewise of everyone who has tried to solve the farm problem assist r its solution On many occasions it has been about the only reward of the farmer himself.
 After years of theorizing and experimenting, the only conclusion to which everybody agrees is that there still is farm problem.
 Senator Dickinson who has been against the New Deal every turn comes out for "stabilizatior of production, alternative It is hard for the

and service equal to S4,370 per
year. That being true, why do we
not have it? The answer to that
question is simply that the indus
tralists, chief beneficiaries of the old
something for nothing profit sys-
tenn, who control both Republican
and Democratic parties will prevent
with every means at their command,
either party announcing for a pro-
duction for use system, and that so
many of the labor and farmer con-
sumers are still unable to recognize
the political ballyhoo for what it
really is, an attempt of the polite
ians (who care little for the worker)
to put themselves back in office for
another two, four, or six years.
When the workers in any field of
endeavor ignore the ballyhoo of
politicians over their records, what
they have done for labor, and their
desires to get in, or be returned to
office, when they pay less attention
