WASHINGTON, July %. (UP)
Major George l.. Berry, junior
senator from Tennessee, has re-
signed as president Of labor's nom
partisan league which was organ
lied a year ago to rally support
of the workers behind President
Roosevelt's campaign for re-elec-
ton, it was learned today.
His successor has not been
chosen. The leagues activities are
being directed by Eli Oliver, exc
cutive vice-president, under the
supervision of Sidney B. Hillman,
head of the Amalgamated Cloth
ing workers, and John l.. Lewis,
president of the United Mine
Workers of America and general
issimo Of the Committee for In
dustrial Organization.
Reports have been current for
days that the league was shot
through with dissension, but Ber-
ny indicated that this was not the
reason he relinquished it's presi-
ident. He said he resigned about
the middle of May at a meeting
with Lewis and Hillman. His ac-
ton never was made public al
though Berry's name has not been
signed to statements recently is
sued in which the league con-
demned foes Of the Supreme
Court reorganization plan and
other legislation in which it is in
terested.
These statements have. been
signed by Oliver. None has been
attributed to either Hillman or
Lewis. Berry told the United
Press that he still believes in the
original concepts laid down for
the league and that he would con-
tinue as member. He contribut-
ed several thousand dollars to its
expenses and said he is willing
to make further contributions.
81 felt that the duties of my
new office as senator demanded
most of my time and that I could
not give proper attention to the
responsibility Of heading the lea

que had a definite place in Ameri-
can life when it was formed
believe it still has today"
The league had three-plank
platform when it was formed:
/. To work for the reelection
of Mr.. Roosevelt.
2. To support New Deal legis-
lation during the second New
Deal.
8. To organize on a nation
wide basis and to make plans to
take advantage of whatever poll
teal realignment may occur by
1910.
Two of the planks have been
carried out but league workers
disagree on the third point and
feel that friction over cleft wing
and Fright wing" policies have re-
tarded effective expansion and. In
addition threaten to curb the
leagues effectiveness in the 1888
congressional and senatorial cleo
tions. Although Berry declined to

SEEK TO RESTORE
PARTY HARMONY
By JOHN r. BEAL

Copyright 1887, United Press)
WASHINGTON, July %. (UP)
President Roosevelt's cherished
plan to reorganize the supreme
court foundered yesterday and
warning senate Democrats, who
sealed It's doom, chose Senator Al
ben w. Barley, SO, Of Kentucky,
to restore party harmony.
Barley, repeatedly favored by
the president, defeated Senator
Pat Harrison, D., Miss, 38 to 81,
in a dramatic race for the post
left vacant by death Of Senate
Majority Leader Joe T. Robin
son. But apparently he seized the
helm too late to save the supreme
bench enlargement program.
Immediately, however, Vice
President John N. Garner, a can
ny navigator in rough political
seas, assumed command of a drive
to reunite the party and possibly
to achieve judicial reform in the
lower courts with the aid Of the
senators who gave Mr.. Roosevelt
the severest reversal Of his admin
istration on the supreme court is
sue.
One of Gamers first acts-af-
ter Barkley's one-vote victory was
announced and both sides loudly
proclaimed harmony-was to con-
fer with Senator Burton X.
Wheeler, D., Mont, leader Of the
court bill opposition. After the
conference Wheeler announced
that he and his adherents would
draft q compromise proposal and
submit it to the administration
for approval.
Wheeler told Garner that the
opposition had enough votes to
pigeonhole the Robinson court
bill, a compromise of the presi-
dents original bill, for this ses-
sion and that his group would OPP
pose any settlement which: .
' Adds any members to the SUI
preme court;
Permits administration reprisals
against senator's who fought the
presidents bill;
Permits any change in the
house or in conference between
the two houses.
These stipulations would virtu.
ally kill the supreme court section
of the bill. :.
Meanwhile Barley and Harri-
son had luncheon with Mr.. Roose-
Welt and then worked out a legis-
lative program which calls for no
immediate action on the court Is.

again today, will consider the

ing low interest rates on land
bank loans and then proceed to
unobjected bills. Beyond that
plans are indefinite.
Late in the day Barley an
nounced that the senate judiciary
committee, which submitted an
adverse report on President
Roosevelt's original six justice
proposal and to which the Rob-
inson compromise would be re-
turned II the senate decides 70
pigeonhole it, would hold a spe-
cial meeting today.
The meeting, he said, was for
"informal discussion Of the court
bill situation"
Barley made the announce
ment after q two-hour conference
with Garner and Committee
Chairman Henry Fountain Ash

DIETZ in MEMPHIS

Many Hamilton friends of Mr..
Otto Dietz will be pleased to learn
that he is now in his old home town
of Memphis, Tenn, and enjoying a
much needed rest. Cards were receiv-
ed from him this week stating that
there is much flood water down there
and more coming, but it will not affect
Memphis very much.
After being employed at the VIM
CahilTs cafe, South Second street,
for several months, he decided sew
eral weeks ago to return to his South
ern home. He makes inquiries as to
the welfare of all his friends in Hanil-
ton, and extends his kindest regards.
His friends here, and especially the
members of Local No 169, have been
more than anxious to hear from Otto,
knowing that he is in one of the flood
cities along the Mississippi river;
they at the same time doubt very
much that he is on one of the water
wagons
