No Government Action Yet
on Sitdown Strikes

NDER pressure from his advis-
" ers to take a public stand con-
corning the sit-down strike, Presi-
dent Roosevelt Immediately after
his return from Warm Springs held
a conference with Vice President
Garner, Senate Majority Leader Joe
Robinson, Speaker Bankhead and
House Majority Leader Sam Ray
burn. At its close Senator Robin
son, presumably voicing Mr.. Roose-
velt's views, said:
"The government cannot initiate
action under the circumstances thus
far presented. 1t is felt that the sit
down strike situation in a general
sense is improving.
"There are two conditions under
which federal action may be in
voked in case of acute strike condi-
tons; namely where federal laws
have been violated or where federal
property, including the mails, is in
terfered with.
"Unless one of these conditions
exists, federal intervention or &C
ton, under the Constitution and de-
cision of the courts, is not warranted.
"The second condition is cases
where state authorities, under the
federal law, ask the services of fed
eral agencies in the preservation of
law and order and in the prevention
of violence.
Neither condition has so far aris-
en-. Except in instances where in
terstate commerce is interfered
with, where federal law is disre-
garded, the federal government
does not, and cannot under the Con-
stitution, initiate action"

lea, refereeing boxing and wrestling
matches. The best jockey at get

Miami is a kid named ]. Barba.
Freddy LindstrOm's best chance for
big league hookup is with the Gil

sport with the people who come to
Florida for the sun that the news
papers have to carry special signed
columns about the ten-pin art.
Two pretty feuds have been SIM
mering in Miami all winter. One
is between the local bookies and the
visiting bookies, mainly from New

play. The other is between those
two veteran Colonels-One-Two

Negotiations to Settle
the Chrysler Strike


the Chrysler Strike
NDER the persuasion Of Gov.
~ Frank Murphy of Michigan,
John L. Lewis, head of the c. /. o.,
and Walter P. Chrysler, chairman
of the Chrysler motor corporation,
were brought together in more or
less peaceful conference at the state
capitol in Lansing. The immediate
result was an agreement that the
sitdown strikers should evacuate
the eight Chrysler plants in Detroit,
and that the corporation should not
resume production during the pc
riod of negotiations. Six thousand
strikers had held possession of the
plants since March 8 in defiance of
court orders and the governor, as
in the case of the General Motors
strike, had been extremely reluc-
tant to authorize forceful methods
of enforcing the law. He had, how
ever, insisted that the men must
obey the law and court orders, and
the concession by Lewis was a VIC
tory for the governor, as well as
for the corporation which had de-
clared it would not negotiate while
the men held its plants. Mr.. Chrys-
Ter also has asserted the company
would not enter into any agreement
recognizing any one group as sole
bargaining agency for all en-
ployeeS.

gerous to the pole vaulter.
Get busy, coaches, the pole vault
is not yet mastered as far as tech
nique is concerned. Another point 1
would like to bring out is that with
the present system of measurement
such as cost me world record
at the Garden in the New York A. C..
games-a 15-fOot vault is impOssi-
BILE. 1t would take all night or day
to measure the bar and the athlete
would lose his edge.
I'm not complaining or criticizing
the officials. I'm only asking that
they remember this point. An ath-
lete trains for Is years to achieve
the honor of lifting his body to a
height previously unreached by
man. To achieve this record, ire
mendous amount of energy must be
expended. It would seem, there
fore, that the measurement should
be checked carefully and announced
before the record is attempted.
1 thought that winning the Olym-
pic vault in the rain at Berlin was
the greatest thrill I had ever known,
until that night at the Garden, when
1 cleared what thOught-and every
body else, tOo-was a record height.
l can't express how I felt because
it was such an unusual feeling to
be so happy. And then the
letdown, when they told me it was
One-uuarter of an inch short.
And all because of inaccurate
measuring instruments. I admit
that didn't want the officials tc
check with a steel tape before my
attempt that night, because they
would have been standing there CAB.
bling yet, probably, figuring out the
ways and means, talking this over
and that-hot air that would thor.
oughly have warmed an unheatec
Garden. By the time they finished
I would have lost my edge.
At the age Of ten I measured the
crOssbar by my own stature, the
most accurate means. I'll never
forget how I started to vault will
an old wOrn-Out rug cane and q
clotbes-line. And what thrill go
out of it.
Finally, the old cane broke, anc
then came greater competitive de
sire to go higher than the other fel
low.
MY first ambition to become al
Olympic champion came when
was thirteen. 1t grew and grew
within me. Then, like a dream,
was in Berlin, competing as one o
three representing the Stars ant
Stripes.

$50 I think it is my duty to say
that careful inquiry indicates that
the sit-down strikes do not reflect
any widespread movement to defy
the law. or impair civil government
or change current conceptions of
property rights. The detectives are
the usual detectives of unions in la
Dor disputes"
That the sit-down strike involves
"grave implications detrimental to
labor's interests" is the view of the
American Federation Of Labor as
stated by President William Green.
This for two reasons:
First, public opinion will not sup
port sit-down strikes. That means
labor loses public support when any
part of it engages i'll sit-down
strikes. Without such support or
ganized labor cannot win strikes or
establish and maintain itself as a
vital force in the economic and in
dustrial life of the nation. Labor
cannot afford to lose the support of
public opinion.
Second, temporary advantages
gained through sit-down strikes will
inevitably lead to permanent injury.
The public generally will not long
tolerate the illegal seizure of prop
erty. If persisted in, it will through
state and federal law-making bod
les force enactment of legislation
providing for compulsory arbitra-
ton, the Incorporation of unions and
other repressive forms of legisla-
tion."

New Mexico, a Democrat and a
member of the judiciary committee
that is holding hearings on the adj
ministration bill.
Mr.. Hatch proposes to modify the
Presidents bill so that no more
than two additional justices could
be appointed in any one year. Furth-
ermore, it would provide for a fex-
ible court with membership vary
ing between fifteen and nine judges.
The additional appointments, made
upon the failure of justices past 10
to retire, would not become per-
tmanent increases. They would be
offset by failure to fill an equal num-
Der of vacancies caused by SUBJ
sequent retirements.
Though the opposition claims at
least AZ votes, its leaders privately
admit that congress probably will
pass some kind of bill which will
permit the President to change the
present complexion of the Supreme
court. Even if he is empowered to
add only two new members, that
would be an administration victory !;
and it is likely that death or volun-
tary retirement will give him a
chance to put on the bench yet 9TH
ers better suited, in his opinion, to
deal with problems of the present.
Further witnesses for the opposi-
, ton, appearing before the judiciary
committee. included DR.. Irving Girls

loyalists northeast of Madrid. Count
Dino Grandi, Italian ambassador to
London, told the subcommittee of
the international committee on nom
intervention that he would not dis
cuss the withdrawal of foreign vol
unteers from Spain and that not a
single Italian fighting in the Spanish
war would be ordered home until
the conflict ended.
Frances response was quick and
startling. Foreign Minister WON
Delbos proposed to British Ambas-
sador Sir George Clerk that France
and Britain assume naval block
ade of Spain to keep Italian troops
from landing to join the fascists.
The British and French govern
ments thereupon agreed, with full
knowledge of other European pow
ers within the non-intervention COM
mittee, on "all points" of program
to make non-intervention complete
~ effective and decided it was inn
perative to prevent, even by force,
any further Italian landings. No de-
cision was reached to send war
ships at once for this purpose.
The defeat of the Italians on the
Guadelajara front was followed by
an almost equally severe setback
in southern Spain where Italian
volunteers also were said to have
made poor showing. These events
seemed to cool down somewhat the
fiery ardor of Mussolini, and the
English and French statesmen were
hopeful that a general outbreak in
Europe had been at least postponed.

Supreme Court Upholds
Three New Deal Acts


THREE New Deal acts of legisla-
Il ton were upheld by the SUI
preme court in decisions that in
dicated that tribunal was becoming
almost liberal enough to suit the
administration. Two of them were
unanimous. The third and most sig
nificant was rendered by five OF the
justices, with four dissenting. This
last opinion was given in the case OF
the Washington state law establish
ing a minimum wage for women and
the court reversed its position taken
a year ago in upsetting similar leg
islation passed by the New York
legislature. Justice Owen J. Roberts
had swung over to the other side,
but Justices Sutherland, Butler, Nc
REYNOLDS and Van Devanter dissent
ed from the present judgment, de-
claring that 'the meaning OF the
Constitution does not change with
the ebb and flow of economic
events" This was slap at the
majority opinion, which was read
by Chief Justice Hughes.
The court unanimously upheld the
provisions of the railway labor act
requiring railroads to engage in col
lective bargaining with their en-
ployees for the purpose of settling
labor disputes. The opinion was read
by Justice Stone and was closely
studied by leaders of the ad-
ninistration who hoped to CLEAN
from it an indication of what the
court might decide concerning the
Wagner labor relations act, now in
litigation. The Wagner act does not
apply to railway workers.
The decision was handed down in
the case of the Virginian Railway
company and upheld ruling by the
Fourth circuit court of appeals di-
recting the company to engage in
collective bargaining.
'In considering the propriety of
the equitable relief granted here"
Justice Stone said, 1--WE cannot ig-
more the judgment of congress, de-
1iberately expressed in legislation,
that where the obstruction of the
company is removed, the meeting
of employers and employees at the
conference table is powerful aid
to industrial peace.
Moreover, the resources of the
railway labor act are not exhaust
ed if negotiation fails in the first
instance to result in agreement.
If disputes concerning changes in
rates of pay, rules or working con-
ditions, the decision added, are not
adjusted, either party could invoke
the services of the national (rail-
way) mediation board.
The Supreme court also upheld
the constitutionality of the new
Frazier Lemke farm mortgage
moratorium act. The decision, read
by Justice Louis D. Brandeis, whose
opinion condemned the earlier Fra
zier-Lenke act, was unanimous.
The law was passed to replace
similar statute which the court held
unconstitutional in the spring of
1885. Like the earlier law, it is de-
signed to permit insolvent farmers
to adjust their debts and to retain
possession of their property for
three-year period during which they
might redeem it.

Seeing, Bridge

The only bridge in the world that
can "see" has been completed at
Kincardine, Scotland. Equipped
with three electric "eyes," the huge
swinging center span automatical-
ly aligns itself with the roadway
when closed. All three "eyes" are
located on one end of the swinging
span, says the Washington Post.
One sees the span does not over
shoot the mark, another that it does
not understood, and the third
watches for the dead central posi-
ton. The 1,500-ton span is so
delicately poised on the central
pivot that only two 50-horsepower
electric motors are needed to swing
it open to river traffic.
