A. F. Of L. Demands Wage-Hour Bill
Go Back to House Labor Committee
For Fundamental Amendment

every effort should be made to bring
about its passage at the earliest pos
sible moment"
Alex Rose, state secretary of the
American labor party which elected
La Guardia, has wired all New York
members of congress, urging them to
give active support to the bill.
Chances Favor Defeat of Bill
With this utterly contradictory ad-
vice from labor, what will congress
do? No one knows.
1t is agreed in newspaper circles Of
Washington that the A. f. Of L. has
decidedly stronger influence in con-
gress than the CIO. It is agreed, like
wise, that if the bill is referred back
to the house labor committee, no
bill on that subject will be passed at
the special session; and the chances
of one being passed at the regular
session following are slim. The tech
nicalities of procedure in the house
also favor those who oppose the bill
On the other hand, a strong effort
has been made and is still going on
by administration supporters to bring
the bill to the floor, and pass it as
amended there.

The interview was between Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Wendell L. Wilkie,
president of the Commonwealth &
Southern Utility Corporation. The
president holds-and both the COM
munications and power commissions
have presented his views before the
supreme urt-that the proper basis
on which utility rates should be fixed
is the actual prudent investment
made in the producing property.
Wilkie Agrees With President
The president got Wilkie to agree,
at least in part, to this view. Tell
ing how utility company paid $780,
600 for property that cost not cent
more that $250,O00, the president ask

to stay in the cockpit and leave the cabin to
me remember? Can you use nurse, Doctor"
Eyes. You might prove invaluable"
That's settled, then. I'm going"
She went. Pete Coane lifted the cruiser into
the gale, wheeled her like great silver gull
over the field, and headed into the south. His
voice came through the crashing static to the
radio operator at the port.

the chief pilot said quietly, ''but we'll forget
it. Tell the doctor to get your wife ready. I'll
take her to L. A."
Gillen and his nurse aided the stricken
woman to the waiting room. Kay Mahan fol-
lowed, her arms laden with blankets. Coane
was deaf to Woodruff's protests

~ \ USr show me-" Pete Coane demanded,
when and how girl can be of any
real use in the air and I'll cheer as
- loud as any of you"
He was Flag Pilot of Great Basin Air Trans
port and a stockholder in the line; his opinions
were not to be dismissed lightly.
Passengers want en-" said Long, opera
tons vice-president, "and G-BAT has to keep
up with the parade. From now on stewardess

line, spinach is sirloin. Show me when girl is of

what break you give 'em, Pete! Trot
along, me boy, and roll the Jefferson Hunt to
the line Your stewardess is already aboard -
Jessie Baker - and if you've got matrimonial
intentions you'd better get acquainted"
Miss Baker was first of the series of girls who
held, briefly, the title of flagship stewardess.
Tall girls, short girls; blondes brunettes and
redheads Pete treated them all alike, up to

and he saw nothing in Kay Mahan to alter that
opinion. A hundred and ten pounds of girl in
belted gray-green uniform and rakish overseas
cap, that was all. Pretty, of course. Redhaired,
but he d had couple of bricktops before. Only
difference was that this one had black eyes, big
eyes and very black, as contrast to her fair
skin and the FURNISHED copper beneath the
jaunty cap.
Kay was in the galley of the Jefferson Hunt,
checking supplies and equipment for her first
run, when the chief pilot entered. He inspected
the cabin from the forward bulkhead to the
galley and toilet room in the after end. He
checked the contents of the diminutive refrigera-
tor and sought for dust on cups and dishes by
rubbing them with handkerchief.
'Im-m-m. Hereafter Mahan, get aboard as
soon as the ship comes to the line .ay out of
the hangers. In flights, come forw ,nly when

Otherwise your place is in the cabin"
He faced her in the narrow aisle.
"Pay attention to your appearance, too,
Mahan, your pockets unbuttoned.'

not read their portent. The eyes had been warm,

'sBattle of Murals" 4 gain Ponds
As Kent Defends Individuality

It looks like the battle of the mu-
rails" is about to break out again in
the Post Office Department.
Defending his controversial "Deliv-
cry of the Mails" yesterday, Rockwell
Kent told the National Women's Press
Club that an artist should be per-
mitted to express individuality, and
that is what his work in the Post Of
fice Building does.
The department, however. not very
strong for such rugged individualism,
hSs demanded some editing.
The mural shows a postman hand
ing letter from Alaskans to some
Puerto Ricans. Nobody paid a whole
lot of attention to it until Vilhjalmur
Stefansson, the Arctic explorer, came
by one day and translated the mes
sage:
ITO the people of Puerto Rico. Our
friends. Go ahead. Let us change
chiefs. That alone can make us free -
Battle Is On.
That caused little annoyance. DR..
Rafael Martinez Nadal, president Of
the Puerto Rican Senate, denied that
majority of his people wanted free
dom from the United States and added
that the mural made his countrymen
shape up like bunch of African BUSH
men.
