attempt TO mediate not only every
strike but every threatened strike.
This method OF promoting indus
trial harmony Is OF greater value TO
the state than is mediation after the
breach between the two parties has
been Widcned by strike"
Three Man Regional Boards
Tone suggested possible creation
OF three-man regional mediation
boards In each Of the country's IL
federal reserve districts. He cited
the very successful work Of the
national mediation board In rail-
road disputes as precedent for set
ting up Of these boards. .t
Each OF these IL agencies, the
commissioner suggested. would be
sovereign In It's own territory and
would be responsible TO the secretary
OF labor. He urged flexible and
informal procedure in the operation
OF the boards, (which would enable
them To adapt themselves TO varying
COIiuALiOID.
Because OF the voluntary nature
OF these agencies" Tone said, their
constitutionality probably would not
be questioned"

The national boards, he said,
might be modelled on the Connecti-
cut plan OF handling labor contro-
versies.
THE only compulsory power OF
our board" Tone said, ~ the issue
Of subpenaS TO determine facts ana
issues In each dispute"
He said such q national board
might have been effectively used IN
the far-fiung Remington Rand

months. s

sioner said, that the federal Cow

story Of Tommy running around here in
Washington telling Senators he's going to put
the heat on them, and advising with Congress
men on whether or not they can have Polish
monument in their district, then there is moth
ing entertaining under the sun.
The magazines really don't know they are
being the tools Of Intrenched Greed when they
tell about Tommy. The fact that this amb
tious young mans fancy scared so high and
that he has gotten away with the things he
has, naturally struck them as most unusual like
the treasures that were brought out of King Tut'S
Tommy and he looks at you as if you were trying
to sell him fake. Only once in hundred years do
we have something like what he's been doing. It
could happen only in such weird period as we
have been through.
Where the magazines have been Internationally
wicked, however, is that they have attributed to
Tommy accomplishments that rightfuly belong
to his Side-kick, Benny Cohen. There is nothing
more calculated to break up such beautiful in
tellectual companionship as they have enjoyed
than this. Now, as a matter Of plain fact we
don't know whether it was Tommy or Benny who
coined Making Democracy Work" and those
other phrases heretofore quoted. And maybe it
was neither Of them. That's the trouble, though,
with crowd of such brilliant minds. There are
any number of them to ease up to you and say he
did this for the Chief and that when it may be
that he didn't do thing.
