Dangerous Boom
Just Ahead, Says
w. M. Kiplinger

Don't let the coming boom take
you for a ride, warns w. M. Kip
linger, noted Washington business
advisor. He states In May Cosmo
politan:
"The boom has already
started, but it will be more NO.
ticeable in 1888, 1899, and 194O.
And there Is probably initiation
standardization Of credit, easy
money; it will encourage the
boom. It means more business,
more money circulating, more
jobs, and higher pay. It's good
news for the next few years,
even if prices do rise.
america Is now probably
halfway from the low level Of
1928 to the high level ex-
pected q few years hence. 1887
will be q moderate improvement
over 1896. Some time in 1888 =
period of rapidly rising prosper
ity probably viii get under way.
But there Is another depression
ahead, sometime in the early
fOrtieS-it will grow out Of the
lovely BOOM"
Kiplinger prophesies that this
coming depression will be less OF
q catastrophe crash than that OF
the thirtieS. Government controls,
he figures, ought to be able to
both boom and deflation.
Analysing trends he gives this gen,
eral financial advice for the next
few years:
BUY tangible, useful, needed
things. Buy goods, for prices
will rise. Even buy on the in.
stallment plan, perhaps, for
your income will probably 60 up,
your fortunes will improve. But
be careful.
Borrow money If you need It
and can use it wisely, but think
of the recession Of the early
fOrtieS.
Lend as little money as you
can, unless mOney-lending Is
your business.
Buy StOckS-but even this
general steer Is dangerous unless
you act with care.
"Start new businesses and
take some risks, but keep In
mind the future fOrties.
Figure on sitter business
competition to get buyers dol
lars. Advertise more, for your
competitors will"

Ford-Union Struggle
Holds Strike Stage

DETROIT, April 9 G.N.S0.
Settlement of the Hudson auto
strike on the heels of peace pacts
ending the Chrysler and REQ dis
puteS today left the impending
struggle between Henry Ford and
the United Automobile Workers
Union occupying the center of the
stage on the labor front here.
Harry Bennett, Ford personnel
director. denied charges of John
L. Lewis, C. I. o. chief, that Ford's
River Rouge plants here had been
turned into "a fort" in anticipa-
ton Of labor trouble. Bennett de.
clared:
"All I can say is that Lewis
has never been out here"
He added Ford wokers were sat
isfied with pay and working con-
ditions.
Meantime, the back-to-work
movement of Chrysler workers was
rushed. Company officials ex-
pected to have most of the $1,000
workers back on the job by Tues
day.
A Briggs body unit employing
$4,000 men in making Chrysler
bodies also was calling men back
to work.
The three Strike-bound Hudson
plants remained in the hands of
1000 sit-downerS. but the latter
were expected to evacuate in time
to attend rally of Hudson work
erS at the State Fairgrounds Coli
selm here tonight.
Ratification of the Lansing
agreement, settling the Hudson
strike, was expected without oppo-
Sition.

law is workable and needs no
amendment by Congress to admin
lister it as it was written. At the
same time that law requires the
annual expenditure of $4,000 for
secretarial and clerical purposes.
Senator Thomas, chairman OF
the Senate District Appropriation
subcommittee will be asked to in
clude 5000 for these purposes in
the pending District appropriation
bill.
Meantime, Commissioner Hazen
indicated that whether or not any
money was on hand to administer
the law, he intended to put it into
effect on May l.
This would mean that the Com
miSsionerS would appoint a mini
mum wage board whose duties
it is to set up a minimum standard
of wages for women workers in
the District of Columbia. They
would also see to it that these
standards of wages are adhered to
by all employers covered by the
law.
The previous minimum wage
boards standards ranged from
SIS to $3.50.
Recently President Roosevelt
indicated his belief that minimum
wages for men should be set up in
the District under the present
law. Whether or not he will COM
municate further with Congress to
follow Commissioner HaZen'S Sug-
geStion that men be covered in a
separate bill has not yet been
decided.

take on" Ford, who, next to Cen
eral Motors, employs the largest
number of automobile workers in
the world.
But union-labor strategy die
tates that Lewis declare war on
Ford at the peak of production,
Just as he and the United Auto
mobile Workers Union did in
the case Of General Motors and
Chrysler.
Time Important
One Of Lewis closest advisers
and a member Of his board Of
strategy" told International News
Service that the union recognizes
Ford as such strong adversary
it would be foolish for us not to
pick our time to strike at him"
Ford himself is watching the
situation closely. Rumor has it
that in the meantime he may try
to steal the unions thunder" by
announcing a minimum wage OF
$40 day.
Ford recently pointed with pride
to the fact that it was he who
established a IS a day minimum
wage in industry. He commended
the Ford Motor Corporation was
paying higher wages than either
General Motors or ChrySler.
Ford wants to lick the union by
making wages and working condi-
lions so satisfactory in his main
plant at Dearborn, Mich, and his
other factories that his employees
would prefer to deal directly with
him rather than through Lewis
c. I. o. He is an adamant foe Of
Union Labor.
Finish Fight Looms
Union men show more bitterness
In discussing Ford than in the case
of any of the other automobile
companies. When Lewis attacked
''Henry" in a speech at a mass

the cheers were thunderous.
It is alleged that an arrangement
has been made whereby doors can
be dropped quickly at the Ford
plant and machine guns swung
into action.
You are told that not long ago
Ford employees received a notice
in their pay envelopes saying:
I'VE can sit down for three
years, can yOn?"
Therefore, in the offing looms
the menace of the greatest labor
drama since the turn of the cen

PITTMAN PLAN E.

Senate Resolution
of Condemnation

Having refused to authorize an
investigation Of sit-down strikes,
the House today prepared to
smooth a path for approval Of
the Senate resolution Jointly de.
nouncing labor's newest weapon
and industry's use of espionage
and company unions.
Representative Connery CD Of
Massachusetts,, chairman of the
House Labor Committee, foresaw
adoption Of the measure by the
lower chamber early next week.
Pittman Plan FavOrite
He declared:
81 think most of the members
Of the House favor the Pittman
(Senate) resolution. The Dies
resolution to investigate sit-dOwn
strikes was defeated because
members felt it was an unfair
blow aimed at labor"
The investigation resolution,
authored by Representative Mar
tin Dies Cd, of Texas, went
down to defeat late yesterday in
a stormy House session marked
by bitter wrangling. Although
supported by several Administra-
ton leaders, including Connery,
the measure was blocked by the
powerful House labor bloc which
charged it constituted Shopping
and interference with the States"
Majority Against Strikes
Conner. added:
II think q big majority Of
the House membership is Op.
posed to sit-dOwn strikes. How.
ever, most of them feel that
the proper thing for Congress
to do is to state its position,
and that only"
The Senate resolution is q pol
icy measure. It was approved in
the upper body two days ago
after heated battle over a similar
proposal which Senator ByrneS,
Cd, of South Carolina, sought
to place in the Vinson-G uffey coal
bill.

PARIS, April 9 G.N.S0.-Mrs.
Wallis Warfield Simpson, the
woman for whom a King Of Eng
land abandoned his throne, found
a staunch supporter today in an
other glamorous figure OF wealth
and romance-the Countess Won
Haugwitz- Reventlow formerly Bar
bara Hutton of the tive-and-ten
cent store fortune. Said the
Countess:
every woman has the right
to a life Of her own"
The Countess arrived in Paris
after a lengthy stay in Egypt en-
route to London to attend the cor
onation of King George and
Queen Elizabeth.
She received this correspondent
in the sitting room of her luxurious
hotel suite and the first question,
naturally, was what she thought
of the royal romance OF Mrs.
Simpson and the Duke OF Wind
sor.
Her answer came swiftly and
without hesitation. Her mind may
have gone back to her own ro'
nance and marriage to the late
Prince Alexis Mdivani-a romance
that also was subjected to the
pitileSS glare of publicity from IT.
inception to it's end. She said:
81 know Mrs. Simpson very
well. have met her several
times, but 1 do not expect L
shall see her while 1 am In
France on this occasion"
Barbara added:
Gas a matter Of fact, / did not
even know she had gone to the
Chateau de Cande until you told
me-"
The Countess, looking younger
and more vivacious than ever,
seemed more anxious to talk about
her baby than anyone else. She
put hand to her slightly rumpled
hair, explaining:
That's baby'S doing. He
crawls all over everything-he's
crawling around the bedroom
floor right now.
"He is a year and a month old
and q perfect little darling. He
is going to grow up to be just
like his daddy"
The baby's father, Count Kurt
Yon MISREPRESENTATION, did not
accompany her to Paris. The
Countess said she planned to go to
Switzerland tomorrow to join him
for skiing before proceeding to
London for the coronation.
The Countess was asked
whether she would discuss the sit
down strike movement in the Uni
ted States which on several occa.
Sions struck the Woolworth chain
from which her fortune came. She
said:
81 really don't know anything
about them. You see, / have
nothing whatever to do with the
WOOlwOrth management"
LONDON, April 9 tI.NsJ.-The

One notable exception was cited,
a nightgown Of trans

blue and pale pink.
Most of her trouSSeau lingerie,
1t was said, is finished in tiny

with tiny embroidered flowers.
Several sets in turquoise blue are
finished with fine piping in rose

There are numerous long satin

Agree With President But
Want More Drastic
Measures Than He
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press COlumnist

Washington, Feb. 2. Progressive
lem in Congress generally is pro-
Roosevelt
1t agrees with the White House in
cumbent that the Supreme Court
must be curbed. To accomplish this
purpose it is more insistent upon a
constitutional amendment than the
President is.
He was expected, in his message to
the legislators, when they met Jan.
s, to recommend stricter limitation,
by the amendment method. of the
high tribunals powers. But he gave
it as his opinion that the constitu-
ton will do as it is. The plan he sug-
geste1 was something in the nature
of an appeal to the justices better
natures; moral suasion, so to speak
The Progressives are skeptical that
a majority Of the august judges have
any better natures to appeal to. They
urge a constitutional surgical opera
ton to abridge the Federal bench's
authority.
AGREE ON THIS eqe
Still, President and Progressives
concur:
Something unjust" be done about
the Federal Supreme Court.
The President hopes that it may be
done by kindly argument.
The Progressives hold that it can
he done only by clinical methods of
a drastic character.
In principle they see eye to eye.
One way or another, the Supreme
Court must be semi-emasculated-b by
acuuiescence on the courts own part
or by main strength.
Opinions differ only in the matter
of detail
FAVOR REORGANIZATION
Progressives also are at one with
the President in the judgment that
the government ought to be reorganiz-
ed. 80 hosts
They realize as well as he does that
a wasteful bureaucracy has been built
up in recent years; that commissions
and boards and miscellaneous offices
overlap and conflict. They desire eli
limitations, consultations, increased
efficiency, economy-as does the Pre-
sident. ~
But, among these independent set
ups, the Progressives have some par
ticular pets.
They want them preserved.
WANT. THESE RETAINED

vice, Interstate Commerce, Federal

They long ante-date present times,

They were Progressive in their orr
gin and, somehow, they always have
remained predominant1y so.

Waynick Qualified
Accordingly, the belief is growing
that Governor Hoey is going to keep
Waynick as chief executive of the
highway commission, although he i
expected to give him a new board

ence, his familiarity with the States

cause of his acknowledged efficiency
and ability, despite the fact that many
of the highway contractors, nachin-
cry and materials, men and a good
many politicians are opposed to him.
Many believe that the, very nature of
most of the opposition to Waynick is
one of the best reasons Governor Hoey
could have for retaining him as chair
man. Other point out that it would
be folly to put in an entirely new
commission, also a new chairman,
none of whom had had any previous
experience in administering highway
matters-and they frankly do not be-

that Waynick would go along with

But the belief of a number of the old

hat the bill is designed more to save
Vaynick and smooth the way for his
reappointment as chairman of the
highway commission, than to put the
;kids under him. Accordingly, the be-
lief is growing in many quarters that
4 new set of highway commission
members will result, but that Cover
nor Hoey will retain Waynick as
chairman.
There are several reasons for this
belief. One of the foremost is that
the administration of the highway de-
partment, which includes the prison
department with turnover of 1880
prisoners yearly, is probably the big
rest job in the State government to-
day, and one which requires more bus
ness and administrative ability than
any other. It. also requires intimate
