WARRANT URGED

WARRANT URGED
Miss Perkins had written Van
denberg the Labor Department
was conducting an investigation
of the CIO maritime labor leader,
and that she could not at this
time turn over to him the com
plete file" on Bridges because the
investigation Is still in progress.
At the same time, the commit.
tees made public a letter from
Miss Perkins which revealed that
the Seattle office of the Immigra-
ton and Naturalization Service
recommended a warrant for the
arrest of Bridges last fall in con-
nection with a deportation" hear
ing, but that no action had been
taken.
Before going into executive Ses-
sion with the committees, Miss
Perkins issued a statement de-
nouncing a bill before the com.
mittee which would set up a medi-
alton board to handle disputes
in the maritime industry.
KENNEDY'S PROPOSAL
Creation Of such a board was
recommended by Joseph P. Ken
nedy, chairman of the Maritime
Commission, in a report which
held that labor conditions in the
merchant marine we're "deplora,
BILE"
Instead of enacting this bill
into law, a more constructive
policy would be to let the pres
ent developments continue with.
out interference by any such
governmental action as this bill
proposes" Miss Perkins said.
Declaring that labor disputes in
the maritime industry can be ade.
quately handled by the labor me
diation boards already in exist
ence, Miss Perkins said that "en-
actment of the present bill into
law will hinder and interrupt this
development rather than fur
ther it."
CITES NEED FOR TINE
Pointing out that the National
Labor Relations Board and the
Maritime Commission are already
trying to smooth ont labor troubles
in the merchant marine, Miss Per
kinS said:
Il would recommend, there
fore, that we permit the present
promising developments to con-
tinue to work themselves out.
In few years both the man
agements and the men and their
organizations will have gained
the experience necessary for
proper maintenance and ad-
ministration Of labor agreements
and Of the labor adjustment ma
chinery that these agreements
set up"
In conclusion, Miss Perkins said:
When this has been achieved
to an extent that approximates
the labor relations that prevailed
on the railroads at the time that
the railway labor act was en-
acted in 1926, then the time will
be ripe for enacting a law sim
liar to this bill for the shipping
industry"

WANT TO HEAR 1T

Big business would like to hear
the same message. Labor would
like to hear a meSsage-but ap-
preached from a somewhat diff
ferent angle.
President Roosevelt's last two
appearances on the radio, billed
exclusively as "fireside chats,
were October IL and November
IA. On the latter date the Execu-
tive was carrying out a promise
to help publicize the voluntary
unemployment registration under
taken by John D. Biggers.
The October u message to the
country came on the day he called
Congress into special session on
November IS to pass crop control,
hour-wage, Government reorgani-
zation and regional planning legis-
lation. Mr.. Roosevelt had just re-
turned from a triumphant trans
continental swing, and he re-
ported on the national attitude
as he found it, in addition to de-
manding prompt action on his
legislative program.
FAILED TO ACT
Since those speeches, Congress
has failed in either special session
or regular session to enact major
piece of legiSlation-barring the
housing bill, which finally was
compromised out of conference.
Friends of the President predict
his next appearance on the air
will be temperate in nature-but
that he still will demand the legis-
lation he proposed last October as
keystone to national recovery.
These friends say his next fire
side chat" will follow the basic
patterns of the last two.

mendations that maritime labor
disputes be handled by a media

Miss Perkins was summoned
before an executive meeting of the
committees at the request of Sena-
tor Vandenberg CRD Of Michigan,
who said he wished to question
her at length regarding the "citi-

provisions he regards as vital. Even
more extraordinary is the fact that
the amendment to do the thing the
President requested was offered and
advocated by his political opponent
and a Republican-Senator Vanden-
berg, Of Michigan-and opposed by
the Presidents personal friend, Sen
ator Barley, of Kentucky, official
Administration leader in the Senate,
made such through the Presidents in
fuence. Dear Alben," as he is often
called, voted against the amendment
and carried with him enough stalwarts
to insure it's defeat.

This indescribably adds to the con-
fusion. Beyond dispute the amendment
carried out the expressed wish of the
President. The Presidents leader
hardly would oppose the President
wish. Yet he voted against the amend
ment and took along enough Admin
istration Senators to defeat It. The sit
uation is made the more absurd by the
fact that some nineteen Democrats,
who are for economy and budget bal
ancing, did not vote at all. If there is
a way of reconciling these things with
reason, it would be interesting to
know it. When the facts are reviewed
it is not surprising that average citi-
zens do not comprehend what is hap
pening in Washington and a good

The practice of stealing electric
bulbs from Christmas decorations is
particularly obnoxious to me and to a
lot of other people.
There is nothing that gives the at
mosphere of Christmas so much as the
appropriate lighting arrangements
that are in evidence in every part Of
the town during the holiday period.
People spend much time, energy and
money in arranging these decorations
and it is most discouraging to find
that their hours of work can be ruined
in few minutes by some thief who
is really worse than a sneak thief.
The bulbs are not stolen to sell to
provide money to get something to eat.
1t is hard to blame a person who is
so hungry that he falls into temptation
and must steal in order to live. But in
this case it is not that. Bulb stealing
is done deliberately and merely for the
sake of destroying beauty, or just to
be mean. Either reason is bad enough.
If the bulb stealing is being prac-
ticed by young boys who have rep
utation for being thoughtless, parents
ought to use the hairbrush on them to
just sort of make an impression and
let them know that it isn't right and
isn't bein gdone in ordinary society.
If something isn't done to stop such
practices in a few years everybody will
cease showing the Christmas spirit
that has been evident in Oakland dur
ing the past number Of holiday sea-
sons.

islative history a more awful example
of confusion than the Crop Control
Bill which has passed the Senate
and now goes to conference committee.
Eventually it will reach the President
though when and in what form no
one can tell.
1t is a bill which satisfies no one,
which no one understands and for
which there is anything but united de-
mand from the class of citizens it is
specially designed to help. Yet, it will
pass. Why? Because the Administra-
ton wants it. Because, first, the Pres
ident called an extra session for the
purpose of doing something more for
the farmer and unless some bill is en-
acted he will appear futile; second, be-
cause majority of Congress is afraid
to vote against any farm bill. So. Con-
gress will shortly enact the pending
proposal in a form unacceptable to
Secretary Wallace, unacceptable to
thousands of farmers, incomprehensi-
bic to the people, admittedly full of
jokers, incredibly complicated and
comforting a governmental power over
the food supply Of the nation, which is
4 the essense of Nazzism. The bill has
been criticized by its sponsors and as
/ sailed as dangerous, unavoidable and
unconstitutional by such firm friends
of the farmer as Senator Borah. His
speech on the subject is reported to
have brought great many letters of
approval from farmers.
Xxx
! No one can read the Senate record
on the subject and feel that the men
who discussed the bill understood it.
Doubt has been expressed publicly
| that the President knows what is in it.
Certainly it is hard to believe that if
he had the leisure to study and digest
/ it he would support it. The surn it may
cost the Government annually is deep
| ly shrouded in mystery. Estimates run
from half billion to billion and a
half. No one knows; no one can do
more than guess. A few weeks ago Nh.
Roosevelt urged that the cost of the
new bill be held to half billion and
said that should it go above that
amount it would be essential for Con-
gress to raise additional revenue to
meet the increased expense. His argu-
ment was that the Treasury had no
funds to meet an additional drain and
that unless the limit he recommended
were fixed all budget calculations
would be dislocated. The inference was
that he would veto the bill if his re-
quest were disregarded.
! In face of that clear-cut statement
/ the Senate has voted down-49
to pa proposal to fix the limit asked
by the President. 1t did more than that
it not only refused to fix limit but
it refused to put into the bill any pro-
vision for raising revenue at all. 1t
seems incredible that a President with
the power accredited to Mr.. Roosevelt
! can secure the passage of a bill of this
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1938-01-06

there is back of the bill very power
full farm and labor lobby. Announce
ment was made last week by Mr.. M.
W. Thatcher, of the National Farmers
Union, after conference with the
President, that a formal agreement
between the farm union and the So
called Labor's Nonpartisan League,
which is the C. l. O's political instru-
ment, had been achieved by which each
is to support the others proposals in
Congress, thus insuring the enactment
of both. This political cooperation be-
tween labor and agriculture against
business greed" was the thing the
late Professor Tugwell so strongly
urged at the time he was high in the
White House councils. 1t is the
strategy enthusiastically favored by
various Communistic leaders who sup
ported Mr.. Roosevelt in the last cam
paign.
And it is pressure from that kind
of combination, added to the White
House weight, which will pass the
Crop Control bill this month if, as eX-
pected, it does pass. 1t is interesting
to note that DR.. Tugwell, original pro-
moter of the farm-labor political COM
bination, has twice visited the White
House in the past two weeks. 1t isn't
only the announced agreement but the
bill itself which is reminiscent of the
professor at his Washington top. 1t
may be that Congress will see the con-
nection. Perhaps the notion that the
Tugwellian influence had ceased to
exist is Just an illusion.

An interesting AGREEMENT

While it is not possible to predict
what this Congress will or will not
do, it is certainly safe to say that in
its range, its cost and its departure
from the accepted American doctrine
of individual freedom, the Crop Con-
troll bill, passed by both branches in
the extra session and now scheduled to
emerge from the conference committee
some time this month, easily stands
alone.
