Special Dispatch TO The Star.
MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich, july
1o.-Gov. Frank Murphy told State
Democratic rally tonight that Mich
igan was ION the Threshold Of indus
trial peace" and defended his hand
ling Of recent labor disputes.
The Governor, in an accounting of
the f1rsc six months Of his admins
tration, devoted 4 large share Of his
address to the labor question and said
he had achieved peace without blood
she'd
Machine guns" he said, always
are the last refuge of the undiscip-
lined, impotent Official"
This administration makes its ac-
counting to the public fearlessly, and
serene in the knowledge that under
its guidance there has been effected
the most notable contribution to the
cause of social justice ever accom-
plished by government OF Michigan
Gov. Murhy asserted that his ad-
ministration stands for the protection
ol human flghts, protection OF prop
erty and intelligent obedience to duly
constituted authority"
without these things democracy
cannot survive and personal liberty
will be OF little value" he continued
Above all. we believe in the dignity OF
the human personality and human
life
I'VE will guarantee the protection Of
these rights and institutions to our
people, but in doing 50 we do not in
tend to plunge them into civil war
and economic paralysis by abuse Of
power and excesses on the part OF
authority.
I'VE have emerged from an historical
crisis and are today on the thresh-
hold of industrial peace. While many
sought by every artifice and weapon
to drive us into doing the unnecessar-
lily violent thing we stood our ground
as We shall continue to do-and we
have done our work in a way that In
spired helpfulness and kindness be-
tween the employer and employe."

Became Labor Legislator.
Six years later he was made presi-
dent Of the Ohio district. Then he
went into politics, was elected State
Senator. One of his earliest contri-
buttons TO the constituency which
elected him was labor law. the screen
law-some called it the Green law
which considerably improved the lot
Of the coal miners. Today he takes
particular pride in his latest achieve
ment-the active part he and his Or
ganization played in securing the
passage Of the national labor rela-
tions act He likewise feels that,
without the help of the A. F. OF L.,
the GufIey law would never have been
put through.
Through the United Mine Workers,
Mr.. Lewis stepping stone, he climbed
rapidly to the Executive Council Of
the A. F. Of L, and then, in 4 surprise
election, to the head Of that organiza-
ton on the death of Samuel Gompers.
Long before c. I. o. went on the
rampage Mr. Green paved and snort
ed when he saw a red nag His hate
for Communists has never abated and
he still thinks they are the termites
which will eat Mr. Lewis out Of house
and home.

As to the industrial union itself,
Mr.. Green once expressed himself
on that topic long ago. This Is what
he said
Mass production does not have to
mean either the cross-industry Or
ganization Of the I. w. W. type or
abandonment Of the craft union Of
the American Federation Of Labor.
Very likely it will mean reorganiza-
ton along new industrial lines. In
dustries may be organized as a whole.
Crafts within these industries may
get linked together within the ma
tional body.
But this new type organization will
resemble shop councils in operation
and management more than anything
today 1929 existing within the pres
ent federation labor unions"
Perhaps that Is the door, held hope
fully ajar, in case the wandering boys

Holiday visitors to Atlantic City NAV
soon have to pay an entrance fee at
the city line if Mayor c. D. White
wins his point.
Too many lunch basket" customers
crowd into the city on holidays, he
said. and sometimes they spoil the fun

He proposes that every automobile
be stopped at the drawbridges on the
outskirts of town and its occupants be
required to exchange q fixed amount
OF United States greenbacks for a
similar amount of Atlantic City scrip
Motorists with Atlantic County license
plates and persons who come by bus or
train would escape the levy.
Some groups of business men have
expressed opposition to the plan on
the ground it would drive away custo-
mers. Other groups have proposed
that a charge of 10 cents be made for

IF THE old ship Of state is taking
a tack to the right, as some say,
i the broad -beamed bark that car
ries the American Federation of

figure of a brown-eyed, ruddy-faced
gentleman His name is William
Green, and for a while it looked as
if he were doubling for that half-for-
gotten parsonage, the forgotten man,
but right now he is being remembered.
And that's apropos, because memories
are what Mr. Green is fond of invok-
ing. For instance, his memories of
what happened to the Knights of La
Dor, who, like old soldiers, didn't die,
but just sort of faded away. He be-
lieves that the c. l. OAand Mr. John
L. Lewis will do the same. He has

has Welsh blood. Like him, his early
memories are harsh ones They are
long way back. for the A. F. of L.

compensated for some Of his early
sufferings. Among them hunger, a
hunger not for bread alone, but for
those human and spiritual values,
mention of which occur so frequently
in the public utterances Of his later
years.
As boy he regretfully left the
one-room school house In his teens
to 60 down into the mines. Those
days etched deep into his conscious
ness the belief that the workers, those
who are drawn together by common
ties and common purpose, should be
allowed to share the good things of
the earth
Mr.. Green has been called labor s

and at present he's sitting. But not

Ballroom and tap dances, as
only Fred Astaire and Ginger
Rogers can do them, have always
been outstanding features OF the
two stars musical films ever since
they scared to fame in Flying

Besides a wealth of these two
terpsichorean types, however, they
introduce ballet dancing in a spec
tacular way in th:ir newest RKO
radio vehicle, "Shall We Dance"
opening at RKO Keith's tonight
at 7.
With Astaire in the role Of q
famous ballet artist, and with
Americas foremost ballerina, Har.
riet Hector, in a prominent role,
the picture blends a ballet back
ground into its hilarious story.
Scenes in Astaire's ballet school in
Paris and Of his troupe practicing
on the sun deck Of transatlantic
liner carry out the atmosphere,
and the sensational finale of the
picture offers a startling ballet
moderne" by an ensemble group.
In addition, Miss Hector dances
brilliant solo number and duet
VII Astaire IN the final sequences,
both of these dances creating a
novel precedent in musical pic
lures.
Three notable dances by Astaire
and Rogers, one Of them on roller
skates, and a remarkable solo by

room, are also offered in the film.

criticism of it is that more atten-
