News Behind the News
Says the President to Garner .
Please, Jack, Come Home to Ne .
But What Did Jack Say? =.

WASHINGTON. - The President telephoned
the vice president and said in effect
Jack, you come on back here ana help me
settle some of this you made. A lot OF
these senators who are agtating for adjourn
ment point out that there is no reason for stay
ing here and passing our legislation since the
president of the Senate has gone away. Come
on back here and help me out OF this JAM
Presumably each man had Stenographer
taking down the conversation, none of which
is available of course, except to the partlcl-
pants. One can only guess as to what Garner
said.
Recall of Garner who had walked out from
his post while Roosevelt, in effect, had elevated
his nose and suggested the vice president would
never be missed if that was the way he felt
about it, indicated the desperate position IN
which the administration forces felt themselves
to be after Majority Leader Robinsons death.
The late Joe Robinson had operated on
personal basis and there no administration
machine in the Senate. He had exchanged IA
vors for favors, but these were personal faVors
and this became obvious after his death, to the
great Generalization of the administrations S
court fight. The real Capitol Hill battling had
been left to the Department of Justice, which
meant, in effect, only Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Joe keenan,.
Some of Roosevelts closest friends and most
influential advisers begged him in vain to go
on the funeral train with the body of Robinson
to Arkansas, for strategic reasons, of course.
The Presidents failure to board that train
aroused plenty of criticism, not only from the
tribute to a loyal follower, but also-and per-
haps mostly-from political enemies who made
the most of it.
Roosevet's unjustly celebrated luck seemed to
hold good, however when complaints to his
failure to 60 along became dulled by unvarnsh-
ed news reports which showed the to-and-trom
trip to have been a continuous political confer
ence.
The excuse Roosevelt gave to the intimates
who urged him TO go that he was terribly
worried about the Chinese japanese hostilities
and must stay here to follow hour-by-hour de
velopments.
Apparently he meant it. The new neutrality
act practically forces the President, in effect, to
take sides in any foreign war. Roosevelt could
afford to make a grandstand play for Neutral
ity by his handling of the Spanish situation,
privately taking the position that Spanish civil
war was primarily something for France and
England to worry about.
But the Pacific, from the military and polit-
cal standpoint, is in this countrys back yard.
Our traditional attitude toward China is
Of frendlineSs, and the nne-power treaty calls
for aid to nations which become victims Of
aggressors.
Military and naval gentry all regard Japan
as the nation which we're most likely to fight.
This country is Chinas base of supply for NUM-
tions, which would be automatically cut off once
Roosevelt recognized a state of war.

WORDS THAT SHOULD BE
WRITTEN INTO HISTORY

A lot of Americas labor troubles
of recent months would not have hap
pened If everyone in the country obeyed
the common-sense ruling handed down
Monday by Superior Judge Emmett H.
Wilson in Los Angeles, when he declared
that picketing solely for the purpose
of unionization is illegal.
every mans right to labor at his
chosen trade or occupation is guaran-
teed by the bill of rights and the four
teenth amendment to the constitution,
and plcketlng place of business for the
purpose of unionization is not permit
ted when the picketing is not cOncom-
mitant of a lawful strike or a bona fide
labor dispute" Judge Wilson said
If similar ruling had been enforced
in every state in the union during recent
months, there would have been a lot
less strikes. These strikes too often
have been called not by the men work
ing in the affected industries, but by
organizers who wished to force the men
to join their union. Instances have been
numerous where picketS from other
places, often unemployed men from dis
tant cities, have closed down an indus
trial plant because the union organizers
so decreed Something the laborers in
the struck plant did not know why the
strike had been called, nor were they in
formed until quitting time of the strike
deadline that they were ION strike"
Nobody can object when the laborers
in an industrial plant walk out on strike
because of grievances against the man.
agement. On the other hand, there is
plenty of room for protest when the
strike is called by someone who has
never been inside the plant, and partici-
pated in by others whose only previous
connection with the business is through
what they may have read about it in the
newspapers or elsewhere.
1t is the right of any American to pro-
test against his own working conditions
but it certainly is not the right of an
American to prevent others from going
to work in their own place of employ
ment if they wish to do SO.
Judge Wilson's ruling is the sanest
Americanism yet to come out of this
welter of labor strife.

HEROISM THAT is NOT
FOOLHARDINESS

| don't think I'm dying for
nothing l was able to do something for
science"
These words, spoken by Thomas B.
Rider, 81, Los Angeles electrical engin-
eer and research laboratory proprietor
to his wife when he knew that DEATH at
last, had caught up with him, deserve
a place among the heroic utterances of
all time.
In a time when we are all too apt to
consider the so-called heroes of war and
strife to be the real heroes, Riders words
might we'll be blazoned across the hor-
lion for all to see. For 10 years, Rider
knew he was dying; nevertheless he
continued doggedly with X-ray expert
ments to which he had devoted his life.
On his findings, many other lives might
be saved.
In doing something for SCIENCE" Rider
did something for civilization.
Perhaps it is unfortunate that deaths
such as his are not of the stuff head
lines are made of. Certainly they are
far more important than most others.
Certainly, too, the life behind them took
far more courage than it takes to storm
a machine gun nest in the heat of battle,
or to outmaneuver an enemy whose aim
is to kill us if we do not kill him.
And, more important still, mankind
is benefited, not harmed, by the lives
of men like the comparatively unknown
X-ray specialist.

Somewhere in the tumble of re-
adjustment after the World War,
little group. of volunteers who
served the United States overseas
became lost. They were the women
most of them just girls then
who served in France as nurses,
automobile drivers and aides in
many branches of the army.
Their work carried them up to
the front, and they were subjected
to shellfire, bombs and poison gas.
Many of them were wounded, many
others were gassed.
Now, unprovided for in many
cases, aging and faltering under
aggravation of old wounds and
mental shock, and lacking the Or
ganizational punch to carry through
program which would aid them,
this little band of women is calling
for help.
According to Miss Dorothy
Frooks, national commander of the
Women World War Veterans, re-
ductions in compensation cut the
incomes of those who were dis
abled from $50 monthly to $28 and
less. In cases of full disqualification,
she says, many of the women re-
ceive only Sc month, and being
unable either to support themselves
or have the $28 restored, remain
in the hospitals.
From the veterans adminlstra-
ton comes reply that male veter-
ans under hospital treatment with
out dependents receive the same
amount, and an intimation that
the fault, if anybody's, lies outside
it's domain.
While these women veterans are
all full members of the American
Legion, no major action to cover
their cases of war disability was
taken. Miss F'rooks says, until 10
years after the armistice. Members
of the womens organization them
selves admit laxity in working for
protective laws. Such legislation
has been introduced but not pressed.

RUN-AROUND' LAID.

Seating of Printers Union
Head, a C. |. o. Official,

By the Associated Press.

b the Associated Press.
DENVER. October 8.-Dr. w. R.
Trotter Of the printers union accused
the American Federation of Labor
Conventions Credentials Committee
today of giving his union "the run
around" in delaying the seating of
Charles P. Howard, c. I. o. secretary,
rs delegate.
AS president Of the International
typographical Union, an A. F. of L.
affiliate, Howard presented credentials
TO the convention as delegate.
The carpenters union protested on
the ground Howard had signed c. 1.
o. charter for Pacific Coast lumber
men.
The Credentials Committee an
nounced this morning it would give
Howard and the carpenters hearing
next Monday-the day the c. I. o.
meeting is slated to start in Atlantic
City, N. j.
Trotter protested.
"Why can't this case be heard to-
night?" he asked We're we'll aware
that we're being given the rum
around"
William Green, A. F. of L. presi-
dent, banged his gavel and told Trot-
ter he was out of order
''You have no right to rise and ac-
cuse the committee of giving you the
run-around," Green said.
Howard's dual position went un-
challenged in both camps until the
carpenters protested his seating at the
current convention.
After the Howard incident, Green
told the convention that reports he
had sent lieutenant to New York to
influence labor votes in the mayoralty
election were false"
Federation moved to extend its
sphere into the white collar" workers
field, bringing it into opposition with
John L. Lewis C. I. o. on new front
Green summoned leaders of A. F. of

form national council and eventually

Awaiting convention action next
week are resolutions authorizing ex-
pulsion from the federation of the 10
unions already suspended because of

appeared as certain as approval of
