lowing announcement by Secretary of
Labor Frances Perkins that she would
ask congress for emergency powers
to deal with the General Motors
strike situation, President William
Green, of the American Federation of
Labor, issued statement which said:
"The American Federation of Labor
is opposed to the suggestion that
congress quickly pass a law confer
ring upon the secretary of labor au-
thority to administer oaths, subpoena
books, papers and records, and to COM
pei participants in industrial disputes
to come to Washington for examina-
ton and submission of testimony un-
der oath.
First of all, legislation fraught
with such far-reaching consequences
should be considered only when eco
nomic and industrial conditions are
approximately normal. 1t is inconceiv-
able that congress would base the en-
actment of such important legislation
upon incidents which arise out of one
industrial controversy.
Secondly, proceedings initiated
under authority of such compulsory
legislation would take on the charac-
ter of trial in court where charges
and counter charges would be made
and thus the bitterness of the indus
trial controversy become more intensi-
fed. Such procedure ought to be
avoided.
Step to Compulsory Arbitration
''The department of labor should
be mediation instrumantality of gov
ernment and not trial court. 1t can
render most valuable service in the
settlement of industrial disputes and
in the promotion of industrial peace
through the exercise of wise, judicious
and careful mediation. 1t has sue
ceeded during the years of its exist
ence through conciliaton and media
ton in the promotion of settlements
in thousands of industrial controver-
sizes.
1t is only step from compul-
sorry attendance at hearings and
the compulsory submission of tes-
timony under oath, and the books,
papers and records, to the com
pulsory acceptance of depart
mental decisions. That would be
compulsory arbitration to which
the American Federation of Labor
is uncompromisingly opposed.
"There should be one effective me-
diation and conciliation department of
government available for use when
industrial controversies arise. No de-
partment is better fitted or suited to
exercise such wholesome influence
than the department of labor.
Forceful Methods Opposed
"Other boards and commissions,
such as the National Labor Relations
ferred quasi-judicial power, may ex-
ercise the power of subpoena and
compulsory attendance at hearings,
and compulsory evidence under oath,
in conformity with the administrative
and judicial authority conferred upon
them by congress.
''The public interest, however, will
be best served through the mainte-
nance of the labor department as a
mediation and conciliation department
through which the government may,
not by the application of forceful
methods, but through persuasion. con-
ciliation and mediation, promote settle
ments of industrial disputes which
arise between employers and en-
ployes."

Comeback
Johnny RiskO Boxes
Bob OIin Tonight

CLEVELAND, Nov. 17.-There's
been many a comeback attempted
in this fight business, but that on
tap here tonight is a little differ
ent.
The engagement scheduled to
go on before 5000 fans matches
Johnny Risko, 34-year-old heavy
weight who has beaten nearly all
the top-notchers of the game, and
Bob Olin, hard-hitting former light
heavy champion who lost his title
to John Henry Lewis.
What makes it different is that
Johnny is no down-and-outer anx-
iouS to come back and make a few
dollars. For the home town pride
OF a few years back is independ.
emily Well-to-do. Early in his
career he came under the man
agerial direction of men with an
eye to the future.

MATES AND BUNSA
Practically the entire Catholic
University football eleven volun-
teered to give their blood to Joe
Bunsa, the youngster who is re-
cuperatmg in Emergency Hospital
from a major operation Bunsa
was taken Ill this season and for
a while his ailment baffled phys
icianS. Repeated, searching exami-
nations revealed the fact that
Bunsa had developed abcesses
near his kidneys. An operation
was performed, and now the boy
is on the backward trail. The
spirit Of his mates cheered him no
little in his fight.
The George Washington Co
lonials hit the trail for the West
tomorrow morning, and on Friday
will practice in st. Louis on Fri
day afternoon before moving
along to Little Rock for their
game with University Of Arkansas.

The Washington times., 1937-11-17

In view Of Georgetown's boasted
power across the line Of scrim-
mage, it is pertinent to remark
that Pennsylvania and Penn State
were the only teams to do much
parading, both the Quakers and
the Nittany Lions were forced to
take the air lanes to score. Mary
lands defense, headed by Albrano
and Brown, two really fine tackles,
checked the rest Of the pack with
out too much trouble.
Defeated by Penn State last
week, Maryland gained 321 yards,
approximately 100 yards more
than the Lions. In winning six
out of eight games, the Terrapins
have gained considerably more
than 1000 yards. The average
gain per game has been 260 yards
and 113s first downs. Approx
mately 40 per cent Of the Mary
land gains have been made via air.
Jim Meade's fine punting, and
Pershing Mondorff's ability as q
field-goal kicker add to the power
Of the TerrapinS.
PLAYERS ENJOY REST
Maryland enjoyed a day Of rest
yesterday, but there will be a long
practice drill and maybe a bit Of
dummy scrimmage. One Of the
reasons that Maryland has come
through the season in such fine
condition is that Dobson refrains
from heavy contact work in No
vember.
Georgetown has gone into secret
practice, and is driving hard to
perfect its attack for the battle
with Maryland. Jack Hagerty
would have you believe that it is
just another ball game for George
town. but you can take that with
a hand full of salt. He wants to
win, and so does Frank Dobson.
So do the boys of both teams.
Frank Selgrade, ali end, re-
ported to Dutch Bergman at
Catholic University yesterday and
was received with open arms. Ends
are badly needed. Both guards,
tackles and halfbacks are badly
needed at Brookland. Selgrade
has been out OF action practically
all season with an infected throat.
His return at this time is most
opportune.

Coach Miller Faces Tough Task
Rebuilding Te1pS Boxing Team
AlperSteln
Is Only Vet
On Squad
Is CANDIDATES
BY GINO SINH

There are no crying towels in
the Maryland U. boxing quarters.
"Heinie" Miller, boxing mentor,
has no use for such commodity.
The only towels he wants
around are those to wipe the per-
spiration off the faces of his
charges after stiff workouts.
And, boy, are those workouts stiff!
Ask any of the 25 stalwart young
men who are trying out for the
team.
And those workouts aren't
mostly drills on how to make pan
cakes out of Greek noses. Helnle
has the boys with their backs on
the canvas (no, that's not the
kind of fighters he trainS), kick
ing their feet in the air, strength
ening their stomach, back and
leg muscles. etc.
ALPERSTEIN LEFT
Only one veteran remains on
the squad. That's Benny Alper-
stein, intercollegiate 135-lb. cham
pion. All seven other positions
are as wide open as Martha
Raye's mouth enjoying a morning
after the night before yawn. Is
Heinie faxed? Not SO you could
notice it. Tough assignments are
his meat and his teeth are sharp.
Nathan Askin, of Baltimore, has
a slight inside track for the l23
pound berth, but he has Venanclo
Iiberato, a Filipino, and Al I)1e1-
fenbaugh very much on his rubber
heels.
TENNIS PLAYER
Askin plays an excellent brand
of tennis and will be on this years
varsity team following the boxing
season. He was a member Of the
boxing and tennis freshmen teams
last year. Askin has to replace
Tom Birmingham, the Terps'
great 125-pound fistic flash and
that's Somepin.
The Devildog Major is some
what bothered with lack OF talent
over the 155-pound class but even
here Heinie strikes an optimistic
note with "wait until the football
season wanes. I'll have my middle
weights, light heavieS and heavieS
then"
You just can't keep a guy down
who won't stay down.

1856 pounds of youth bubbling over
with determination to make good.
Yates boxed on the freshman
team, but hurt his ankle in his
sophomore year. His ankle Is
okay now. He has done Coast
guard duty, which means that he
is in prime physical shape.
A promising bantam threat Is
Ed Naughten, soph. He did nice
work on the freshman squad the
past season.
CUBAN WELTERWEIGHT
From Cuba comes a strong con-
tender for the l45-pound berth
Jose Grave de Peralta.
With this colossal task on his
mitts, the major grinS quietly as
he listens to rival coaches COM
plants regarding the prospect OF
their teams.
ANY sport coach who takes time
out to cry can't be SO bad off:
I'm so busy working up a good
team I haven't even time to wipe
off the beads of perspiration."
That's how the Major looks
at it.

has pushed it far into the terri
tory formerly used as grazing
land by the Soviets.
The Japanese army in Manchu'
kuo, which often acts independ-
entity of the government in To-
kyo, has been confident for
weeks that Marshal Bluecher
would not vigorously resist eff
forts to "straighten out" the Man
chukuoan border, because of the
unrest among his commanders
following the series of mass exc
cutions of alleged counter-revolu-
tionaries by the Moscow govern
ment.
Scores of TRAITORS" have been
executed on the two important
Soviet military centers north OF
the Amur, Habarovsk and Blagoo-
vestchensk, and Moscow has ad,
mitted that many of those killed
were japanese spies"
The Japanese probably do not
fear a major war as result OIL
their activities. They believe that
the European situation is too UNI
certain and the discipline of the
Soviet Far East army too weak
for Josef Stain and his associ-
ates to risk such move.
