1t must be an island. One that was accessible
to visitors and one from which the two great
bridges, the oakland and the Golden Gate, could
be easily seen. With characteristic abandon and
pride in their own powers, the promoters said:
"Oh, well, We'll Just build us an island, one of
about 400 acres"
North of Yerba Buena Island were shoals lying
in II to 30 feet of water When preliminary
survey revealed that engineers could build the
island, the Federal Government agreed to appro-
pirate $6,250000 for its construction, with the
proviso that the island be used as an airport at
the conclusion Of the exposition

"smartness" for John to throw away the only
claim to Importance he ever had-his support by
the New Deal.
Now, there is Bill, laying no claim either to
"smartness" or "brilliance" out selling the en-
ployer the idea that his organization is the law
abiding labor agency, and rushing to the defense
of Mr. Roosevelt against Johns attacks.
Joke on NeW Dealers
It's the best joke on the New Dealers we have
heard for long time. They don't want Bills
championing Of their chief. And he knows they
don't. But there is nothing they can do except
grit their teeth. In the meantime, Bill intends
to continue in the defender role for all it is
worth. He intends to cash in on Johns Smart
ness" or whatever it is he is experiencing just
now. And in doing this he is taking bread right
out of the New Dealers mouths, SO to speak.

Plenty of Reasons

Practical directors Of the exposition give as
reasons for holding their fair three events Of
great Importance in San Francisco-the compile
ton Of the two bridges and the inauguration Of
air service to the Orient.
Sentimentalists agree that these reasons are
sound, but they supply this explanation of their
own: The spirit Of the West will here be brought
alive to the eyes Of the world The exposition,
they say, must be far more than an island COW

The Listening Post By Carlisle Bargeon

They don't want any tieup with Bill What
they want is a political labor alliance and this
is something Bill can't give them with the A. F.
of L. even If he were so disposed.
With Lewis they planned to set up a great
political structure which they could use as they
saw fit. And to this end they dramatized him
and built him up at the expense Of Bill. You
can bet that down in his heart Bill has no more
love for the New Dealers than they have for him.
It's not their fault that he isn't walking the
streets in search of work.
But now what does their protege do but run
out on them and denounce them and create q
perfect setup for Bill.
Lewis' Aid Discounted
The trouble seems to be that there is consid-
cradle disagreement about the degree Of the C. L.
O.s influence in the last campaign John would
have given anything If Mr.. Roosevelt had only
won by Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, in
which event he could have claimed the victory
was due entirely to him. But the election didn't
turn out that way and there are those who are
so mean as to discount his part in the campaign
altogether.
Naturally, under such circumstances there
can't be agreement about the exact amount Of
payment coming to him. The Administration
thinks it did pretty well to organize the auto
mobile and part of the steel industry for him.
But John wants more.
You watch. Bill Green will be right here when
John Lewis is telling Father Coughlin, resting
over in Europe, to make a reservation for him.

ways and means will be found to meet
the difficulties presented by the act"
The Bethlehem statement was seen
in steel circles as one OF the most
significant developments to come out
of the welter of rumors in the trade
in recent weeks of wage and price
increases.
On Friday, National Steel Corp. re-
vealed it was discussing a general
wage boost with representatives of
its some 10000 employees.
No announcement has been made
by the United States Steel Corp,
with its more than 100000 workers,
respecting recent requests for in
creases, but one usually well-informed
source said today an early start OF
negotiations was expected.
BENJAMIN M. FairlesS, president Of
Carnegie Illinois, United States Steels
largest subsidiary, said recently a
wage increase would necessitate
higher steel prices. Since then in
creases in certain types of finished
steel have been announced, and there
has been talk in the trade of gen.
eral boost for the second quarter.
Should Bethlehem adopt a 40-hour
week, it would represent the first
break in the solid front Of major
companies against the WalSh-Healy
act 4O-hour requirement, which has
prevented them from bidding on re-
cent naval contracts, and led to the
suggestion in Washington the naval
ordnance plant at South Charleston.

j. s. BONDS LIFTED
BYF|NANCE PLANS
Three Issues Reach New
Peaks Despite Talk of
Lower Prices.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

NEW YORK, February 27.-After
all that has been said about the weak
ened position of the bond market and
the prospect of higher interest rates,
and after all the predictions of a
break" in Treasury obligations, it is
a little confusing to find three issues
of United States Government bonds
making new highs" in the listed
bond market, and yet that is just
what happened this week.
AS matter of fact, out of 20 long
and medium term Government direct
obligations, six have sold this year at
the highest price since they were first
offered, three of them making that
mark last month and three just now.
OF course, this is the market response
to Secretary Morgenthau's announce
ment that he expects to ask for no new
money" for the next four months;
that this will be the first financing
period since the depression started in
1880 in which the Treasury was able
to pass a quarterly financing term
without borrowing money in excess of
maturities, and that from now on, as
a balanced budget is approached.
financing operations will be still
smaller"
1t is market response to the first
tangible indication of an end to the
continuous (up to now increase in
the supply of Government securities
and suggests the time will arrive when
that supply will decrease. 1t has
nothing to do with the money out
look in general. although it does bring
out the fact that, in relation to corpo-
rate bonds, Government issues are
underpriced, if anything.
Gov. Eccles of the Federal Reserve
is on record as saying that in his
opinion long-term borrowings will con-
tinue to be negotiated on easy terms,
although there may be stiffening of
short rates. That is contrary to the
normal order of events in period of
increased business activity, rising
prices for commodities and an up
ward trend in the money market, but
with so much power intrusted to Gov
ernment authorities, it is possible. 1t
will be interesting to see what the basis
will be on which the new issues of
Treasury bills are sold.

NEW YORK, February 27.-Bethle-
hem Steel Corp, second largest in the
industry, announced today it expected
a satisfactory conclusion TO negotia-
tions for a wage increase within the
next few days.
While information as to the amount
of the increase was withheld, usually
well-informed steel circles discussed
the possibility of a jump of about 10
per cent, similar TO that Of last Mo-
vember. Approximately $4,000 work.
ers are understood to be involved in
the Bethlehem negotiations.
The company also disclosed that
hours of work were under discussion,
and expressed the hope that solution
would be reached which would solve
the Walsh-Healy act requirement of
a 4O-hour week, which has prevented
the big steel companies with their
44-hour week from bidding on naval
steel contracts.
The statement issued by the COM
pany said:
Bethlehem Steel Co. officially con-
f1rmed today that the request of its
employees through their representa-
tives for general increase in wages
has been under discussion for some
weeks. 1t is expected that the nego-
tiations will be satisfactorily con-
cluded within the next few days.
I'm these negotiations consideration
is being given to the problems re-
lating to hours of work in executing
Government contracts under the
Walsh Healy act 1t is hoped that
