A Book a Day
New Intrigue Along Britain's Lifeline

When Mai. Percival Christopher Wren writes fiction based on the involved English problems of main- taining peace in its far-flung em- pire, especially along the border oi Northern India, you're sure to get an eyeful of interesting information on political intrigue, romance, and heroism.
 ITO the Eilt" (Houghton, Mfr lin Co.,: $O is one of the British, writer's best works along this line, Dealing with further activities of Capt. Richard Wendover of Ma piers Horse, it is a worthy sequel to "The Spur of Pride" In the latter book, Wendover, dismissed from service on a false charge of drunkenness, disappeared from civilization, became an unofficial British undercover man, and through information gathered in disguise, finally saved the fort.
 ITO the Hit" brings Wendover and his faithful servant, Shere Khan, back to civilization in sav- ing young British of1icer from the same fate that had fallen the captains lot. But an escapade of the servant throws them back into bad grace again and into the hinter- lands where they are hunted men. | There's a swell villain in the per- son of cruel Russian who is at- tempting to uproot England's foot. hold and prestige in upper India, Once, falling into his hands, Wend- over suffered a cruel flashing. The hero, however. has his inning at the end of the book when he finds the Russian and kills him in a duel Nursed back to health by the girl who had followed him to India from England, Wendover recovers, mar- fries, and lives happily ever after ward in the kingdom of his Pathor friend, Shere Khan.--J.

The original paramount purpose of the Labor Board was to settle disputes between Capital and La- Dor. But now the Board has lln- dertaken the task of settling dis putes between Labor and Labor in other words, between the A. F. of L. and the o. I. o. r
 In taking this step the board recognized two facts:
 l. Another Supreme Court
 test of its power is now almost
 certain, namely test of its
 power to decide disputes be-
 tween labor groups.
 ?. Factional labor disputes
 are the most ornlnous labor
 problem facing the country to-
 day. t Ducked Issue 4s ,
 Power to handle disputes be- tween Labor and Labor was given to the NLRB by the Wagner La- bor Disputes Act, but the board was not anxious to use it.. Very carefully, it side-stepped this power while the constitutionaNty of the Wagner Act still was be- fore the Supreme Court. For 1t wanted a clean-cut test of its basic power to decide disputes be- tween Capital and Labor without muddying the issue. '
 The Board was successful in this strategy. It got the sweeping OK of the Supreme Court. ,
 Since then, however, labor dis putes have drastically changed character. Only one big strike has taken place between em- ployer and labor-the abortive CIO strike against the inde- pendent steel companies. All of the other major. strikes have resulted from rows between rival unions.
 Even had the Labor Board so desired, 1t could not have avoided taking a hand in this new type of dispute. The battling has gone to such lengths that the rights of employers as well as labor have been jeopardized.
 First Dispute
 The Board moved cautiously into its first jurisdictional row. For 1t knew 1t was bound to have either CIO or AFL hanging on its ears. n .a.
 Finally 1t picked. the National Electric Products Co.,; of Am bridge, Penn., for the initiation. Here it overruled 8 closed-shop agreement between the A. F. of L. and the company and ordered an election. The workers, the Board argued, had @ right to choose which union should rep resent them In collective bar gaining.
 The protests from the A. F. of L. could be heard 1t both . ends of Pennsylvania avenue. The Labor Board was damned as being picked and paid by the CIO. However, a federal cir- Cult CUUEG HI W0hUhhlk bVBhs OCAsp upheld the Board to the extent of refusing an injunction against its action. r"%
 Then the Board plunged even deeper into the labor melee. T. ordered an immediate election among. seamen in Atlantic and Gulf ports. The A. F. of L. had demanded a delay. It wanted to "re0rganize" its seamen's union. But the CIO threatened to tie up 56 shipping lines if the delay were granted, and the Board, torn be- tween the two factions, became the advocate of promptness.
 AFL- Employer Link
 All this has. caused such re- sentiment in the A. F. of L. that an undercover campaign now iS reported under way to smear" the Labor Board and undermine it's influence. It is charged with be- ing pro-Cio and at the beck and call of John L. Lewis.
 Result of this probably will be a lineup between the A.F.L. and employer groups. In fact, the Board already has cOnfidcn- tlal information that certain A.

lectual leYelp which naturally means the level where The Ter ribIc Twins abide. But. who i'm heaveil's name, could get up that high? Twins and tHThe Tin1es''
 Particular fault has been found with Mayor Hayes statement: Hartford, New Haven and Bridgeport are assessed at 1VO per cent of their value compared with 80 per cent in this city. and if comparison is made on that basis Waterbury's rate would be found to be lower than that of any of those cities" This declaration has been pooh -poohed by The Terrible Twins because 1t is based, they say, on the fast one put over by MT. Crary of the Assessors once on the State Tax Department. Mir. Crary, being Democratic Town Chairman, Is necessarily, as un- dependable as is the State Tax Department he Is accused of bam- boozling. There is no basis for Mayor Hayes statement chorus the Twins. But the Hartford Times, while differing with His HonorL makes 1t clear that he has sup port for his contention: ar
 'Tt iS 11otAfor us to settle that
 argument. Permit us merely to
 pipe up in our corner that we in Hartford do not hold that our
 real estate Is assessed ct full
 market value. We are sure the total market value of all taxable
 property would exceed the grand list appraisal by respectable I,nil-
 lions. But Mayor Hayes is enti-
 tiled to his opinion, and it may
 be that he can get pretty good
 authority right here in Hartford
 for his contention" ;s Or Else? \
 Evidently The Times does not look at the State Tax Department with the same eye of skepticiSnl as do The Terrible Twins. Or else Hartford hasa John CSary whose: business 1t is to horr1swoggle the tax; experts in the capitol. We may expect to hear that New Haven has its Crary and Bridgeport has another of the qaudruplets hidden in the municipal woodpile. If so leave it to the Terrible Twins to smell 'ern out. In the meantime I would like to say that the Times" demonstrates the fact that an intellectual level" can be kept in political comment. Not as 'high" as that which the Twins demand but lofty enough to be reached by ordinary n1ortals.
 ''''The Corant" Interested
 Like "The Times" the Hartford "Courant" expresses interest in our local campaign:-. & ~.
 "As municipal campaigns In
 other cities become hotter, less
 attention probably will be given to the candidacy of MT. Hayes In Waterbury. That is unfOr- z tunate, for, if the rest of the
 state has little reason to care
 whether or not he becomes may
 or for the fifth time, his protni-
 hence in the politics of the state
 makes desirale a more general
 knowledge of the details of his
 municipal administration" r
 His Honor need not worry how minute is the examinaton of his municipal administration by the voters of the state any more than by the voters of Waterbury. But the examination should be con. ducted by others than his svowed, blind, unreasoning, and unremit- ting partisan enemies. No man should be tried save by a jury of his peers. ,s ~
