Perhaps you do not realize it, be-
cause you are in contact with only
one group. but there is a rising tide
of public opinion that Is entirely out
Of sympathy with present conditions.
Many people are becoming alarmed
by the grave uncertainty Of today, and
happen to be one Of them. Their
numbers are growing rapidly.
AT any rate, my oath Of Office gives
me one clear duty: To protect our
citizens and uphold the law, come
what may"
The Governor took occasion also TO
elucidate his remarks of last Saturday
in connection with Secretary Of Labor
Perkins.
Quotes Miss Perkins.
He quoted her as saying to him over
the telephone last Thursday evening:
1--WE must not let the efforts of the
(FederaD Mediation Board fail We
cannot let our labor friends think that
We have let them down. I think you
ought to keep those mills closed until
a settlement is reached. l think
you ought to have Tom Girdler (head
Of Republic SteeD and Frank Purncll
(head of Youngstown Sheet & Tube)
subpoenaed to Columbus and keep
them there until they reach an agree
ment.'
'Inasmuch as Secretary Perkins
questions the accuracy of the quota
ton, it is only fair to say that she
sent Assistant Secretary Edwart F.
McGrady to see me the next day TO
urge the same general proposal.
Finally Secretary Perkins
insisted that her original proposal be
carried out l do not question her
sincerity nor her right to make such
a request. 1t is difference in the
point of view, perhaps. At any rate,
my own intelligence and conscience
must determine the conduct of the
Ohio government. No issue is involved,
as far as the State is concerned, except
law and order"

BY EARL GOODWIN

BY EARL GOODWIN
One thing President Roosevelt
hopes for at the coming extra Ses
sion of Congress is something that
will stop this constant pickering
between Bill" Green and John
Lewis,
The President is reported as be-
;eving that as long as Bill" and
John call each other names that
there is little chance of enough
labor solidarity to push to enact
ment the New Deals big labor bill
THE wages and hours measure.
STUCK IN COMMITTEE
That bill is now in the position
of the monkey wrench dropped
among the gears-it is stuck IN
the House rules committee
where all attempts to get it out
have so lar failed. Southern OPP
position largely is responsible.
Mr.. Roosevelt is understood to
be the gentle yet firm influence
behind the apparent willingness
of Bill" and John to settle their
differences; because, as a Brain
Truste. explained today, "as long
as labor is getting no where on
account of an iEternecine strife
capital can lay back and take a
good long laugh"
Mr.. Roosevelt seems to have a
greater interest in the present
wages.and-hour bill than does
president Green of the A. F. OF l..
NOT A. F. L. WAY
John Lewis and the c. I. Q.
have a hankering for minimum
wages and definite standards OF
hours-but the Bill" Green union
are craft unions which very stead
fastlv believe they can do better
for themselves by the old fash
Toned collective bargaining with
their employers than by leaving
their wage and hour conditions
to government bureaucratS. In
fact the A. F. of L. spent many
heated hours lambaSting the idea
at the recent Denver convention.
With so large a wing OF labor
as much opposed to the bill as
Big Business itself, the President
doesn't feel encouraged and earn
estly seeks a way out. John Lewis
big industrial unions, composed
of thousands of workers some OF
whom are by no means highly
skilled, would Jump at the chance
to have the government set 40
cents an hour and 40 hours a
week as a minimum standard.
WORKING ON SOLUTION
Insiders in the administration
are working hard to bring these
two opposing views together. One
suggested compromise is to eX-
empt the A. F. of L. craft unions
from the operations of a wage
and-hour laW-let them keep on
managing their own affairs by col
lective bargaining.
Labor and government officials
are watching the first trembling
notes o. a possible peace overture.
