Rights and Duties
Cincinnati Enquirer)

tCmcMnau Enqulrer)
 The Wagner Act establishes quasi-udical ehinery for the gradual development of a body of law governing industrial disputes. But the National Labor Relations Board cannot develop such body precedens and rulings unless the act under which it operates is equitable Today it is not
 The act permits workers to bring complaints but not employers It sets up a series of unfair trade practices for violation of which employers may be punished But it does not create a corresponding series of unfair practices applying labor and labor organizations.
 Two unfortunate results follow this setup First, the act does not effectively prevent intimidation and coercion by labor groups and does prevent futile pickering between rival labor organizations. Second. it does not give the Labor Board the legal basis on which to erect equitable system of law for labor controversies.
 Responsible labor leaders and responsible leaders in industry recognize these shortcomings the pres ent law. They proposing number of amend ments. These should be considered promptly by Con- gress preferably this session For obviously new epoch in labor relations is beginning now that employer-w worker relationships have been brought definitively into the realm of Federal supervision It is absolutely imperative that start be made sound basis To that end, the law should impose on labor and on management alike not only rights to be defended but duties to be observed

for 1937 which in turn will be more than s100O,oOo000 ahead of the year before.
 AS to that part of the long range program relating to decrease in Federal outlays for the needy unemployed the Presidents projected expenditure of s15o0,Ooo,000 for this purpose for the next fiscal year is approximately $500 100000 less than now estimated for the current year.
 But the President himself seems to have arrived at the conclusion that the reduction of deficits is not sufficient goal. A complet- ely balanced budget appears now to be his purpose, if his recent message is to be the guide.
 For three budgets now the whole problem of balance has hinged not on revenue but on one item of expense, recovery and relief-ex- cepting, of course, the unusual situation in 1886 when Congress piled the cost of the vet erans' bonus onto the budget of single year The. recovery and relief item is now the bar rier to plans for balancing the governments income and outgo, not only because it has to be included but because of its very size.
 The prominence of the relief item of $l500,000,000 in the fiscal picture for 1888 may, paradoxcally. lead straight and quickly to a balance of the budget Today it stands as the greatest threat of additional taxes and certain leaders in Congress are not overlooking the importance of impressing this upon their colleagues. It IS regarded simultaneously as a threat and an opportunity, an opportunity to cut enough from this one proposed expend- ture to wipe out the threatened deficit of S418000000 for the next fiscal year.
 A movement is already on foot at the Capi- tol to pare the amount to Sl ,00O, 100000 Lead ing it are some of the Congressmen who have most influence on matters of revenue and ap- propria tions. These men last week deliber- ately started a sort of whispering" campaign to impress their fellows with the danger of enactment next year of a sales tax or an in- crease in income exactions in the lower tax brackets if the budget is not cut enough now to take care of the S418,000000 and even to create surplus on the Treasurys books

than 800 persons turned out here
yesterday on the historic battle
field of the First and Second Bat
tie of Manassas to celebrate the

bration. This veteran, Robert B.

war until 1868, is now 80 years old.

They separate into two parts,
one involving the Federal Govern
ment and the other the District
Government. Apparently igno-
rant of this fact, few newspaper
stories have churned the two sit.
uationS, both concerning strikes
of building tradeSmen into an I'm.
recognizable mass.
Of the two conditions, that in
which the Federal Government
appears has become the most i'm
portant, by virtue of actions taken
by the Painters and Decorators
Union No. 1858.
At the moment, this local stands
convicted to a policy of withdraw.
ing from the Building Trades
Council for the purpose of organ
izing a rival body, also under the
rules of the Building Trades De-
partment of the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
It is possible, however, that this
Schism may be mended, by one
of two occurrences. The first
would be a complete cleanup of
the "Scab" Federal jobs which led
to the painters strike. The sec.
ond would be a reversal Of tactics
on the part of Bryce P. Holcombe,

intention to found q rival building
trades body. The Building Trades
Council then refused to take
further action on assisting the
painters, it is reliably reported.
Matters might stand at that
point, except for the fact that to-
day q spokesman declared "hot
heads seem to be cooling"
Coupled with this is the fact that
the City Post office and Internal
Revenue quarrcls are to be cited
by Holcombe to the National
Labor Relations Board, and this
move may result in either a vic
tory or a compromise satisfactory
to the painters and hence con-
ducive to the normal peace and
quiet Of inter.union relationships

H0LDUP ROLE

BOSTON, July % G.N.SJ.
Waving extradition, George
Bowen, %, of Chelsea, known as
Joe Cabanna, prize fighter, today
confessed part in the $1,000 holdup
on April 9 of the Lucius Beebe
tannery in Bristol, Pa, according
to police. He told police he re-
ceived only 5000 as his share of
the loot.
Bowen was arrested two weeks
ago while serving on the Suffolk
county grand jury.
In his confession, according to
police, Bowen described the plan
ming of the robbery and implicated
five other men. all of whom are
serving prison terms in Massachu-
sets or Connecticut. Among them
he included Gervis Jennings, now
being held in $4,000 bail charged
with the Staying of Patrolman

'EBOys" Battle-Ground,
HolcOn1be Charges

Holcombe feels his "boys" were
double-crossed when other building
trades failed to join them in q
general Federal walkout, in SYM
pathy with the painters strike
against the City Post Office and
the Bureau of Internal Revenue,
where nonunion, out-of-town men
are claimed to have been imported
for redecorating.
On the other hand, the Senti-
ment Of the other building trades
was well expressed by John
Locher, president of the Washing
ton Central Labor Union, who de.
clared it was impossible for most
of these unions to walk out at
the drop of a hat" The council
had voted support of the paint
ers; all that could be done hence
forward, Locher explained, was to
obtain approval from the inter-
national headquarters of the va
rious local unions for a general
Walkout.
This permission was refused by
the BrlcklayerS' Union nlgner-upS,
mainly on the ground that most
of their men were employed on
construction given to contractors
operating in interstate fashion
with compacts signed by the in
ternational bricklayers' body.
To Holcombe and his 600 men,
however, a delay in a general
building strike was injudicious,
especially since the "Scabs" were
still at work. They pointed to
the District government situation
-whete all jobs involving non
union workmen had been post
poned while an investigation takes
place-and said the Federal Gov
eminent could follow Suit-and
probably would if all building
tradesmen stuck together.

22.-All of the five former Prince
Georges county policemen who
were acquitted yesterday Of con-
spiracy charges in connection with
an alleged bonding racket at the
Hyattsville station, will probably
receive pay for the time they
were under suspension, but they
definitely will not be reinstated as
members of the county police

day.
The men were suspended with
out pay when they were indicted
last December and will be paid
their salaries up to June /. At
that time the county police force
was reorganized under recent
enactment of the State legislature
and their terms expired without
reappointment.
Police officials said that all Of

of the force again, but they would
have to undergo the physical and
mental examinations given those
who recently went on the reor-
ganized force. There are no va
cancies at this time.
The five men, Albert Anderson,
Warren Peake, Arthur Brown,

well as Elmer Humphrey. bonds

were absolved by the jury after
