NEW YORK, July 29.-The tow
is having a Dutch Treat vogue. The
idea Invite an agreeable crowd to
lunch and dinner and each pay his
own chit. The stunt is not con-
fined to those of moderate means
but to socialites who patronize such
spots as the COLONY
For a long time luncheon and
dinner parties in the better res
taurants have been in a slump.
Even the wealthy with taxes and
shrunken incomes could not stand
the rising prices of the cafes. Some
one started the Dutch Treat idea
at Les Ambassadors, the fancy
Champs Elysees place in Paris.
A returning traveller showed up
with the idea in New York and
tried it out on a group of her in
Inmates at a luncheon. 1t was
something old with the punch of
the new. People who had been
forced to eScheW accepting such in
vitations because they could not re-
turn them jumped at the new
order.
1t is not unusual for GWendolyn
Astorbilt to call up former board
ing school chum with: How about
lunch today at the st. Regis
Dutch?" The franknesS is some
thing appealing these skimpy days.

1t is easy to get mixed up on one CAM
pagn issue when you hear certain "WPA work
es" or "CCC workers" have or have not been
required to furnish political endorsements to
get their jobs
If a politician means that WPA is hiring
worK-relief labor at WPA wage scales or CCC
boys at the $50 a month CCC pay on political
basis, that's one thing. If he means that ad-
ministrative employees, from supervisors and
foremen up, are being required to show political
backing, that's another.
There's something more nauseating about the
idea that subsistence wages used as substitutes
for dole to avert starvation are conditioned on
politics
Republican Manager John Hamilton has
answered Democratic Manager Jim Farley's
question
"Has anybody who is listening to this
speech ever heard of a man or woman being
asked whether he or she is a Democrat or
Republican before getting the dole or an emerg-
ency job?'

It's a fair guess that Farley meant recip-
tents of cash or work relief although he may
have figured listeners would think he covered
more ground
But Hamilton comes back with evidence
that an applicant for a job as non-technical
foreman in CCC camp was asked by WyomngS
Governor Miller to fill out an application blank
requiring him to give his political record.
Evidence that work-reliefers and CCC en-
rollees have been required to leap political hur-
dies hasn't yet appeared-although it may, local
politicians being what they so often are.
In many states however WPA administra-
tive staffs and CCC non-technical foremen are
employed largely on a political basis That's
been true in CCC since the late Speaker ByrnS
and an unofficial patronage committee of con-
gressmen went to the White HOUSE and put up
holler for more pie.

SEE CONCESSION
TO MASS PLAN
OF UNION|zATION
Observers Note Change in
A. F. of |. Attitude
on Principle.
BY HERBERT LITTLE
Times SnecIal Writer

WASHINGTON, May 7.-Conces-
sions TO the principle Of mass-indus-
try unionism were seen today in the
A. F. Of LIS attitude toward organ
izing the steel industry.
But President William Green, as
spokesman for the A. F. of L..
executive council, which is preparing
definite program of steel organi
cation, gives no indication of a
treaty of peace between his craft
unionsts and the rump movement
for industrial unions led by John L..
Lewis of the United Mine Workers.
The executive council-all but one
of it's members against Lewis - is
meeting today six blocks away from
Lewis Committee for Industrial Or
ganization, both working on plans
to submit to the A. F. of L. steel
union (the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers.
for financing great expansion of
organized labor.
Bidding Tor Adherence
The fact that the A. F. of l.. and
the G. 1. o. virtually were bidding
for the Amalgamated's adherence to
their respective types of union was
cited by Green as proof of the con-
tention he made to Lewis, when the
miner set up the c. I. O., that the
insurgent activity may split the
labor movement apart.
At the same time Green an
nounced that the executive council
was willing to grant the steel union
jurisdiction over all production
workers" in the industry. This is a
major concession, since under old
line craft-unicnism the mechanics
would belong to a separate union.
the carpenters to another, and so on
until there would be Is or more in
an industry.
Green also explained that the
organization proposal of the Anal
eamated submitted last winter was
rejected because it provided for two
separate classes OF members, one of
which would pay very high dues.
Low Dues Needed
THE form of organization must
be considered in any plan of cam
paign," Green said. I'm steel We
are appealing to mass production
workers who can't pay high dues.
Initiation fees and dues must be
low
The general feeling of the execu-
tive council is to go as far as We
can on jurisdictional grant-as far
as in the automobile workers union
and that's very far"
But the bone of contention that
led John L. Lewis and William
Hutcheson. Carpenters Union chief,
to fist-fght at the A. F.. of LIS
Atlantic City convention last fall
still is apparent. Just now it is
wrapped up in an offer of half
million dollars in money for organ
izing.
Offer is Conditional
The G. I. O., made up of eight
big A. F. of L. unions supporting
industrial unionism, offered this
amount to the steel union if COM
plete industrial union were set up
II offered the same amount to the
A. F. of L. for general industrial
union organization.
Green pointed out that the C. I.
o. offer was conditional" and in
Dictated broadly that the council
probably could not accept such con-
tributions.

CHICAGO, March Is U.N.S0.
Department of Justice officials
today studied the 21-page memo
randum from Federal Judge John
P. Barnes in which he held the
labor relations act unconStitu-
tional in it's entirety.
The sweeping opinion, consid-
cred a death blow to the Wagner
act, was made in connection with
a suit brought February l, by
tn, Bendix Products Corporatlon
of South Bend, Ind, a SUBSIDIARY
Of Bendix Aviation.
Handing down his opinion here
yesterday, Judge Barnes an
nounced he would issue a pre-
liminary injunction restraining
the Federal Labor Relations
Board from interfering with the
business of the company.
Attorneys for the company
were told to present an order
for the judges signature March
81.
The Bendix subsidiary was
seeking to prevent enforcement
of an order of the board that
an election be held to determine
whether an American Federation
of Labor union or a So-called
company union should represent
all employees for collective bar
gaining purposes.
Judge Barnes declared the
order IAN invasion of the control
Of purely local affairs reserved

under the Tenth Amendment to
the Constitution.
Asserting the act would, in ef-
feet, deprive the employer of the
