ions Eighteen of the corporation S
plants already were closed by sit
down strikes and walkouts, and 50,-
900 of its employees were idle.
The auto workers in their Flint
meeting, besides creating the board
of strategy with power to call a
strike, approved of eight demands
ognition of their union to higher
wages and shorter hours. They also
appointed a committee to negotiate
with the corporation.
Alfred P. Sloan, president of Gen
eral Motors, is on record as in
sisting that no one union shall be
the bargaining agency for the cor
poration s employees. AS he left
New York for Detroit he said: Let
them pull workers out. That's the
only way | know to find out how
strong the union is.
Homer Martin has declared that
the question of recognition of the
union IS not negotiable.
William S. Knudsen, executive
vice president of General Motors.
declared the company never would
agree toNcollective bargaining on a
national basis and, despite strikes,
would continue to produce automo-
biles as long as possible.
Still there was hope of a peaceful
settlement for the G. M officials
seemed likely, at this writing, to
agree to a conference with the
board of strategy. James F. Dew
ey, conciliator for the Department
of Labor, and Governor Murphy of
Michigan were active in the effort
to further negotiations. One Stun
bling block was the insistence of
General Motors that the .sit-doWn
strikers must get out of the Fisher
Body plants in Flint before any
conference could be held.
Judge E. D. Black of Flint, who
issued an injunction against the
Flint strikers, was bitterly attacked
by the union men, Martin petitioned
the Michigan legislature to impeach
the jurist because he admittedly
owned General Motors stock and
SO allegedly had violated Michigan
law by taking jurisdiction in the
matter.
The prime object of the c. l. o. is
organization of the steel industry,
and the crisis in the automotive in
dustry was not expected by Lewis
and his associates OIL wanted at this
time. However, they are giving the
auto workers their full support, NOR
ally and financially.
1T WAS announced at the White
House that President RoOsevelt's
eldest son, James, will become a
full fiedged White House secretary
and draw salary of $4,000 a year
after June l. Until the beginning
of the new fiscal year, James will |
act as secretary but will be on the
public pay roll as administrative
officer drawing $500
At the elevation of James to the
secretaryship, Assistant White
House Secretaries Stephen T. Early
and Marvin M. Mcintyre will also
become full secretaries.

so, too, the executive branch OF
the government must move forward
in this task and, at the same time,
provide better management for ad-
ministrative action of all kinds.
THE judicial branch also is asked
by the people to do its part in max
ing democracy successful. We do
not ask the courts to call non-eX-

have a right to expect that conced-
ed powers or those legitimately inn
piled shall be made effective instru-

1.-The process of our democracy
must not be imperiled by the denial
of essential powers of free govern

Sketching the program for his sec
ond term, the President said legisla-
tion he desired at this time includ-
ed extension of the RFC, of his
power to devalue the dollar and of
other New Deal authorizations
about to expire, deficiency appro-
priations, and extension of the neu-
trality law to apply to the Spanish
civil war. Conceding that NRA
had "tried to do too much, he con-
tinued: "The statute of NRA has
been outlawed. The problems have
not. They are still with us.
The President proposed federal
and state supplementary laws to
help solve the social and economic
problems of modern industrial
democracy and challenged specula-
ton, reckless over-production and
monopolistic underproduction as
creating wasteful, net losses to So

on he would seek enlargement OF

NEW YORK, July 8-As early

for the World Labor Athletic Car

largely on the mile run, which
figures to dominate the 27-event

Teachers, who recently did a 4:07.2
at Princeton, will be renewing that
feud of theirs.
That alone would make it an
all right race, but, besides the two
Westerners, Long John woodruff,
the Pittsburgh Negro, has entered
the race, along with Gene Venzke,
the old dream runner" from
Penn, and Lou Burns, Of Manhat-
tan.
You probably can throw
Venzke and Burns out the
window right now, for they
figure to get little more out Of
the race than nice long canter,
but Woodruff adds something to
the event even though Cunning
ham and San Romani are and
will be the big appeal.
Holds Record
Long John, who holds the
Olympic and national 800-meter
titles, is the longest striding and
perhaps most unorthodox runner
extant, but withal a ground
coverer, and he has been drop
ped into a spot for his debut in
