 The Cheney proposal is that tho men start work at a minimum scale equivalent to the 1886 scale and thai the fact-finding commission will determine by the end of the season what additional pay the enl- ployees should have, dependent on the price of salmon and cannery op- eraions.

New York conditions"
Mayor Hague was asked if it
wasn't a fact he had said that
John L. Lewis, head of the CIO,
was not a Red" but had been
forced into the CIO by John
Brophy, a New Jersey union Off.
cial The mayor nodded his head
affirmatively.
Q.-Would you refuse John
L. Lewis an application for the
CIO if he wanted to speak in
Jersey City?
A.-The application would be
placed before the people. 1t
would be gwen to the public
press. We would see how the
people would treat the applica-
titon-that is, what the people
would think Of it. If the same
conditions we're prevailing in
Jersey City as when the CIO
tried to enter Jersey City-and
as conditions are now in Jersey
City, would say no.
Q.-You mean that as condi-
tionS are now you would not
allow Mr.. Lewis to speak?
A.-That'S right. No, counsel
lor, he could not speak.
In commenting on the letter to
Carney, Hague said:
Il am not against lawful as
sembly. I don't mind people
gathering and talking publicly.
Small gatherings on street cor
ners are no breach of law, but
these 'inVaSions,' such as the
CIO planned was something else
again. We had to bring Mr..
Carney to a realization of the

The Washington times., 1938-06-15

Frankly, the Immediately at
tired, bald-headed mayor admitted
he knew his corporation counsel
James Hamill, had written to VIII
liam Carney, regional director Of
the CIO in New Jersey, advising
that distribution Of the literature
would not be permitted. The
mayor insisted Carney had said
that law or no law" the CIO was

and pass out the pamphlets.
CITES FLINT. DETROIT

cities said Hague.
Hague was testifying as the de-

brought by the Committee OF In

TWO EVADE QUIZZNG
Attorneys for Jersey City are
prepared to press Judge William
Clark for ruling on the motion
to question Representatives Jerry
O'Connell and John T. Bernard,
both called as defense witnesses,
in Washington.
Attorney John A. Matthews of
defense counsel has received a
copy of letter in which both
Representatives refused to come
to Newark because of serious
congressional business in Wash
ington."
Hague answered the question of
Attorney Spalding Frazer in a
polite, suave manner, never get
ting ruffled, although his own
lawyers were frequently on their
feet with objections. Time and
again Hague quietly overruled his
counsel by saying: oh 1 think 1
can answer that, all right"
He told Frazer he had written
a letter on the stationery of the
National Democratic Committee,
of which he is a vice chairman,
expressing disapproval of the anti
injunction bill when it was before
the New Jersey legislature in 1886.
READS FROM LETTER
Q-You wrote a letter to
Senator Edward P. Stout. of
Hudson county, advising against
passage of the bill did you not?
Al did.
Frazer read excerpts from the
letter in which Hague stated
that the bill was aimed at the
chancery courts and that it
would drive out industries"
from New Jersey causing much
unemployment.
Q.-Were you favoring labor
when you urged this bill be
beaten?
A.-That letter of mine was
doing a service to both industry |
and labor. I was familiar with
what happened in other States,
particularly in New York.

Reading an article, '"They're
Coming Out in Washington" by
Louise Koppel in Spur Magazine,
one thing that she says strikes me
as very true. She says: "To ar
range the social affairs at the en-
bassies in Washington, three local
secretaries are used by the for
eign representatives. Th e e
women WELD a certain power
and it is even whispered that
young mems names have dis
appeared from lists, only to have a
secretary tell them that a little
more personal attention at soirees
was demanded for the return of
said John Henrys to said list"
l have nothing to add, cause it's
only too true, but also too bad
Doesn't that give these secretaries
a certain political power? And you
know what happens when women
want to mix in politics!

Members of Washington Society
Grade A are in a serious spot.
They have received two invita-
tions for two different dances on
the same night and they don't
know which one to go to or which
is the smarter of the two ). The
Harry Lee Rust, jrs., and the
Lawrence Bakers have sent out
invitations for small dance in
honor of debutante Jane Rust No

tie Maggie Byrd, pocket-size deb
bic, is coming out at the Common
wealth Club, in Richmond, Va, at
a dance given by the old Mrs. Rich
ard Byrd and by the Thomas
Byrds . Of course, the elite has
been asked to both parties :. and
the situation is puzzling the whole
of Washington to a great extent 90.
Probably, though, the Rusts and
the Bakers will report victory, as
they have the advantage of the vi
cinity ,. The parties given at the
Foxhall Road residence of the
Bakers will remain famous in the
social history of Washington, but
everybody knows, too, that the
Byrds have an old tradition on the
art of entertaining. It's too bad,

ties, but I'll have to if l don't rent

THERE is a very prominent
i. lawyer here, and a partner
of one of the most famous men
in the South, who is plenty
burned up over an incident Of
last week. He had heard that
Charlottesville, Va, was a very
nice town, but now he has a
private opinion that it is a bit
too nice, though some persons
would say discriminating.
1t happened that this young
lawyer and his bride, who were
married with all the pomp and
ceremony of a church wedding
and with many dignitaries in
attendance, left Washington, by
motor, for ASheville, N. c. Com
ing through Charlottesville, they
decided to stop over at the
hotel for the night. Just be-
fore the groom went into the
hotel, the bride cautioned him
not to register Mr.. So and So
and wife, but Mr.. and Mrs. So
and So. The groom, being a
bit flustered, ordered all the
luggage into the hotel lobby,
and then went to the register.
He couldn't have done worse
if he had rehearsed it. He
wrote his own name, paused,
scratched it out, and then wrote
Mr.. and Mrs. So and So. The
hotel clerk took one look and
informed the groom that there
were no suites, nor even rooms,
available. The groom, who can
make strong men vince in
court, gave one startled breath,
said nothing. ordered his lug
gage back into the car, ex-
planned the situation to a now
very angry bride and took off
to another hotel.
He had no, luck there, for the
clerk at the first hotel had
already phoned the clerk Of the
second hotel, of what had taken
place. So-the newly married
couple had to motor on to
The Washington times., 1938-11-10

Roanoke, Virginia, before they
could stop for the night and the
groom who is now back in
Washington and telling this
story on himself, vows that from
now on he will never go any
where, without his marriage
license!
MRS. BOB GRAHAM whose
NA husband has just bought a
stunning new horse (hunter)
for her, is refusing all offers
to come in town from her home
in Fairfax to play and do things,
because she feels that she must
now take up horseback riding
with a real determination.
