Teddy Roosevelt
Joins President
For Picture!

Two President Roosevelts in
one picture!
Everyone knows how Franklin
D.. Roosevelt got in this picture;
but no one knows how the bust
of Theodore Roosevelt got there,
When the President presented
the huge gold Presidents Cup to
Jack" Rutherford for his spec
tacular victory over all comers in
the speed boat races on the Po-
tomac, photographers took pic
lures, and 10, a hitherto unsus-
pected bust of Theodore Roose-
welt looked straight into the
cameras from the Chief Execu-
tive's desk.
Is it there for presidential in
spiration? The White House
secretariat was asked that ques-
tion. They didn't even know the
bust was there. Who made it?
Nobody knows. It just showed
up, suddenly, along with two
donkeys made out of velvet and
sent to the President by un-
known admirers.

its negotiating personnel, and Knud-
sen said c. E. Wilson, vice president,
and H. w. Anderson. director Of labor
relations, might appear at some ses-
sions for General Motors.
This arrangement might open the
way for Lewis, whose c. I. o. has

Alliance" organized to give expression
to anti-strike sentiment, that "on
rights of any man working for Gen.
eral Motors are in jeopardy. Every
effort will be made to get all men
back to work as soon as possible"
He added that the reason why all
men are not put back to work is that
we desire to avoid violence"
Part of the truce agreement which
paved the way for settlement negotia-
tions provided that General Motors
would not attempt to operate strike
closed plants.
Boysen had telegraphed the corpo-
ration official that General Motors
employees who are members of the alli-
ance urged that operation of all Flint
plants be resumed Immediately" per-
mitting all workers to return and not
hiring any new employees for 80 days.
