Motors Strike Reveals Why
Labor Swung All It's Power
Into Election Murphy
and Other Governors Put
Under Obligations TO I'm
iOnists Now Comes
Sparring Between Lewis
and Corporation for Con-
cessiOns.
Washington, Jan. 20-General
Motors strike developments show
clearly what the Lewis group and
other labor leaders were aiming for
when they threw their full weight
into the last election.
Tactics of Gov. Frank Murphy Of
Michigan, the general belief among
observers that Roosevelt will event.
ually have to step in to achieve a
settlement, the great care taken by
General Motors to maintain pleasant
confidence Of members Of the COM
mittee for industrial organiza ton
may all be taken into account in
determining whether this is the
same country 1t used to be insofar
as concerns dealings among gov
eminent industry, and labor.
That doesn't imply that anyone
can tell what the result Of the
automobile strike will be or that
there's any strong belief in WASH
ington that the strikers will win
their demands.
But the fact that neither the
governor Of Michigan nor the presi-
dent of the United States desires
to crush the strike by giving organ
lied labor less than an even break
Us factor both historic and i'm
portant.
Big Concession to Unions
A writ was issued at Flint on the
basis Of which authorities were
planning to eject sitdown strikers
with gas-and clubs and guns If
need be. At the first outbreak of
violence Murphy ordered in state
troops, with assurance that there
would be mo riots and no trouble"
John L. Lewis announced that
he was authorized by representa-
tives Of Murphy to say that troops
would not be used TO evict strik-
ers, with an implication; that the
troops would keep anyone else
from chasing them out.
Murphy then won a 15-day truce
for negotiations. The union would
take its sitdowners out Of G. M.
plants and G.. M. would promise
not to try to produce automobiles
in the plants or to move equipment
away.
This was remarkable concession
from such a corporation. Everyone
who knows labor history realizes
what an innovation 1t was compared
to the old-fashioned practice Of ar
resting and beating strikers, using
local cops, hired thugs, and militia
II necessary.
The point of all this, as seen by
many insiders, Is that Murphy Is
young and ambitious politician who
Is by no means through running for
Office in Michigan, that he was on
the spot, and practically had to go
down the line for labor II he ex-
pected TO be elected to anything
again.

/ In apparent impotence at their
windows, with hands raised.
In q momentary paralysis, be-
fore he could recover OF act, Nc
Dougall heard a sudden and tre-
mendous clangor from over the
outside doors. One Of the tellers
had reached an alarm button with
q cautious foot.
The four men gave up the
struggle with the side door and
sprinted toward the vestibule, and
McDougall retreated before them,
horribly aware that Dorothy sat
In her car Immediately in front
Of the building and that her
mother might even now be emerg-
ing from the store door or two
away.
He burst on the street.
Pull aheadl" he yelled, waving
imperatively. "Step on It'll Go
on--go onl"
Dorothy already had recognized
the alarm. A glance assured her
that McDougall had turned to-
ward the store her mother had
entered, She sent the car for
ward with a jerk, her foot hard
down on the throttle as she let
the clutch peal fly back.
The four men came through the
bank doors and looked out from
the cover provided where the
stone walls Of the building pro-
jected foot beyond the entrance
Half block away, running heav-
lily toward them, was q policeman.
The alarm had called people
from the stores along the street.
The policeman was closing In rap
idly.
The four men darted from the
banks doorway and sped around
the corner. A shot followed them,
and then another, but they reached
their car. Roaring, but without
lights, 1t sped away down the dark
street, Carlo Stellicci at the wheel,
with familiar roads ahead.
There had been mistake in
Carlos plans. The banks side
dor was never unlocked for the
Saturday evening business.

Paul Dwyer 'T love to hug
 and kiss you," wrote the girl who
 knew his faults only too well.
 Listed as "Your faults" Babs wrote the 18-yeaT-old Casanova: ""You have not enough backbone to stay away from drink. You've not enough in you to stick to one thing. You couldn't support a wife and children. You are too sure of yourself. You think you could make love to me (and probably you could butt. You say things you really don't mean to my girl friends and others for a joke. That makes me the sucker because believe you when you apologize"
 So writes the girl who saw his faults. Then, after sizing him up with the clear -headedness of an ex- perienced woman, she added a line that gives us as much insight into feminine psychology as all her criticisms. She ended her note: T love to hug and kiss you" It doesn't take a great novelist like the man who wrote "Of Human Bondage" to tell up that love and respect are entirely separate.

 A woman is no older than her walk. Whether she is frankly forty, Dresden China fifty, or even older, and regardless of her weight and height she will look and feel young if her posture and her walk are def- initely youthful.
 Linbering and stretching exer- cises should be a definite part of every woman's- beauty routine from the day following her twenty y-hftn birthday. Even though she is just naturally thin, she will not seem young if he: waistline muscles are not flexible or if her feet seem 10 drag when she walks.
 The older woman must keep in mind that the cute little way she walked when she was 20 will not pc charming at 40. A youngster can hop along the street, breaking into a trot now and then, sit on one tooC or even slump in chair when read- ing and perhaps get away with It. But her mother cannot. The mos ment a mature person loses her boise, runs when she should pc walking, sits in curled up pose or slumps ever. a little, she detracts from her greatest asset-poise. Ana loss of poise makes her look old very old.
 As your birthdays pile up on you, do an extra posture exercise Or two couple of times a week. There's really no other way to make sure that you aren't slipping-getting a hollow in your back, protruolng stomach, dowagers' lump on the back of your neck and so on. Even though you refuse to do reducing exercises and have long since given up the idea of ever being truly sler- der again, do posture exercises any way, You may be overweight, but you don't have to ignore bad posture, do you? Or let your muscles oe- come stiff and tense?
 Think of your backbone as straight line. Pull in your stom- ach, elevate your chest, force hips forward, making them look much smaller from the rear. Now notice that the exaggerated hollow In the center of your back has disappeared. Keeping chin at normal level, place hands behind ears and pull head upward. This makes lump at the top of the spinal column less oovi- ous, too.

Love Isn't Blind After All Ut Just Ignores Faults

the things she disliked about him wasn't consciously writing about all men or for all women. Nevertheless, she just about summed things up in her neat note.
 Since time began, women-everl the woman who loved them-have had contempt for spineless men. They look up to and respect the men who have some definite pur- pose in lne-something to lend them bigneSs.
 Even the woman who is the head of the house feels deep down in- side her that 8 man should be able to look after his own wife and chil- dren.
 When their own love is in ques- ton, women hate cockiness in men. They don't want timidity and they don't want humbleness-but they dc want men to have enough humility to accept their love as something to be deserved rather than demand ed.
 And all women hate, either secret ly or openly, for a man to make light of them when he is talking to other women. It's almost worse than when he is talking to other men. And women-even though they occasionally let men make fools ot them-hate for other women tc know they threw away pride for love.

THE THROWBACK IN CATTLE
 BREEDING

THE THROWBACK IN CATTLE BREEDING
 A breeder of registered Guernsey cattle, referring to a recent article in this column in which the unre- ality of the fiction of the birth of black child to white or apparently white parents was pointed out, of fers this interesting comment: N'
 Regarding the trrowback in the color line, we have similar diffi- culty to contend with. One of the two French breeds of cattle that went onto the islands of Jersey and Guersney nearly thousand years ago had black noses. Nearly all Jer- seys now have black noses. Guern- sey cattle nearly all have light or buff noses. But occasionally Jerseys have buff noses and Guernseys have black noses. Black noses are not fashionable in Guernseys: breeders seldom use black nosed bull or a black nosed COW. But try as we have for generations to eliminate the black noses, they still appear from buff nosed parents. It seems to me they appear in the Mendelian ratio as with sweet peas; according to the Mendels law If you cross red and white peas the progeny will av- craze one red, one white and two pink. Why doesn't Mendel's law hold in the crossing of negro and white persons? If pure white and pure Negro mate, according to the Mendelian theory of inheritance the children should be in like ratio --one pure white, two mulattoes, one pure black. Why doesn't Mem del's law holdp"
 Mendel's attempt to explain in- heritance is not law, but a the ory. c..
 Like the bucolic beholder of the giraffe, am skeptical of reports of the occurrence of "throwbacks such as the colored child born to apparently white parents, though not merely because have never seen such case but also because ] have never met anyone who has seen such a case. All the reports oI yarns or legends are rather second or third hand or folklore-and you know 1t is human nature to embel. fish story when you repeat 1t. My incredulity in reference to the hu- man "throwback" rests on the same foundation as my unbelief in human rabies and in gout. Accept 1t or re- ject 1t, as you prefer. You know as much as l do about 1t. E.
