tBy Nina Leslie calleja)

December meeting of the Key

Tuesday afternoon of this week
at the Clubhouse on Division
street, a large number of MEM
bers and guests being present
for this third meeting of the fall
and winter season.
Mrs. Stephen w. Douglass,
president of the Club, called the
assembly to order, and the meet
ing was opened with the recita-
ton by the entire gathering of
the Club Prayer, followed by the
singing of America the Beautiful
and the Pledge of Allegiance to
the Flag of the United States.
Minutes of the October and No
vember meetings were read by
Mrs. Philip Cosgrove and approx
ed. Mrs. Cosgrove is serving out

Langford having been accepted.
Brief reports were given by the
chairmen0 Of the various depart
ments, and several interesting
events were announced as part of
the seasons program of the club,
among them a Bridge Luncheon
in February and other social
functions throughout the coming
months.
~ Gives Short Talk
Mrs. Haydn Illingworth gave a
short talk on the Federal Art Gal
lery School that is rapidly becom-
ing firmly established, and urged
that all members of the Woman's
Club and others give their pat
ronage and support to this wor-
thy project, which is devoted to
the fostering and furthering of
latent artistic talents in those
who attend the classes. ANY fur
Their information regarding this
can be readily secured from Mrs.
Illingworth, who will welcome
inquiries.
Miss Minnie Porter Harris,
treasurer, read the financial re-
port, listing expenditures and re-
ccipts for the past month, and
also touched upon several small
changes that are being made in
the library system.
Mrs. Cosgrove read a letter
that had been received from the
Contest Director of the Miami
Air Meet to be held shortly after
the first of the coming year, in
which he requested that young
woman of Key West be chosen
to represent the city as Miss
Aviation at the Air Meet. Mrs.
Douglass explained that Miss

Junior Woman's Club, had al
ready been selected as represen-
tative for this event and had ac-
cepted.

it is desirable for either Of the parties

There is no inconsistency between
what the Supreme Court has just de-

it decided previously in the stockyards

mitted in the former instance before
the board itself. But it may be said
a valuable Qualification has been made

ards, of which Mr.. thinner has been
director since 1884, IS assisting the
States in drafting minimum wage acts
for both men and women. 1t is point
ing the way to more comprehensive
Workmen's compensation laws. Only
eight States compensate workmen for
all diseases. In the last three years
the division has collaborated with the
States in organizing or reorganizing
eight State Labor Departments. It is
sponsoring the better training Of fac.
tory inspectors. thereby attracting
worldwide attention. Through ma
tional and regional conferences 1t Is
crystallizirg public thinking for better
State labor legislation on the big
four labor questions-safety, health.
wages, hours.
When history weighs the record in
years to come, it may be that the poll

Perkins, and her able director, Mr..
thinner, will discover these Federal.

table trail blazers.
1t seems reasonable to go along with
MIR. Zimmer's philosophy that States
can afford to spend more for industrial
safety and welfare. Many States spend
more for the protection of fish and
game than for their army Of human
resources. But fish and game don't
talk back, influence votes. Labor legis-
lation does. The question always
arises, Mr.. thinner says: Are safety
and security for workers driving in
dustry from a State?" The answer is
no" in New York State, for one,
where 1885 statistics show New York's
share OF industrial establishments was
greater than in any year since 1919.
Mr.. thinner has had 26 years labor
experience in his native New York
State from factory inspector to direc-
tor Of the Workmens Compensation
Department. where he was associated
with Miss Perkins for 10 years.

1t is fair guess that Mr.. Roosevelt
may have had Senator La Toilette
as his guest less for the purpose of
anything concrete he had to say to
the Senator than for appearance. for
the effect on the country, on news
paper readers. And it is a fair guess
that Mr. Roosevelt may have had in
mind one particular newspaper reader,
an exalted one, Vice President Garner.
The relation between Mr.. Roose-
welt and Mr.. Garner is about the most
deep-reaching politics current in
Washington. Whether because it is
deep-reaching, or for other reasons, it
Is kept beneath the surface. All that
is said about it here is merely the
speculation Of politicians and observ-
ers. Washington speculation says that
Mr.. Garner is deeply disturbed about
the Presidents course in many re-
spectS: that Mr.. Garner Is the Nestor
Of a group Of Democrats in Congress
who think the President ought to be
checked, and think most decidedly
that leadership Of the Democratic
party ought to be taken away from the
New Dealers and restored to true
Democrats. Especially does Washing
ton judgment feel that Mr.. Garner
wants to prevent Mr.. Roosevelt and
the New Dealers from dominating the
Democratic National Convention in
1910 and giving the presidential nomi-
nation to a New Dealer.
President Pictured as Resentful.
AS to the President, Washington
judgment thinks that he strongly re-
sents the Vice Presidents attitude:
that he feels toward Mr.. Garner as
he feels toward any one who chal-
lenges him. and that he regards Mr..
Garner as fomenting, or at least giving
aid and comfort to, Congress which
has shown independence Of the Presi-
dent and which the President now
strongly desires to re-reduce to sub
lection.
This silent political duello between
President and Vice President has some
Of the nature Of q poker game. In 1t
there is q psychological factor that
favors the President. In the bluf1ng
that accompanies such games. Mr..
Roosevelt has an advantage. For he
knows that MIR. Garner will never do
anything to disrupt the Democratic
party-he will never carry his feeling
about Mr. Roosevelt and the New Deal
that far. But Mr.. Garner feels no
such assurance that Mr.. Roosevelt
would stop short Of disrupting the
party.
In the light Of that situation, Mr..
Roosevelt's gesture toward Senator
La Toilette may have bearing. It
may convey a message to Mr. Garner.
If the message were put in words
from the lips Of some third person,
that person might say to Mr.. Garner,
Watch your step. John; If you don't
look out the President may take all

his New Deal following over into the
La Follettes' Progressive party-and
then where would your Democratic
party be In l940?"
Mr.. Roosevelt Gains.
For the moment, Mr.. Roosevelt Is
gaining ground from Mr.. Garner and
the orthodox Democrats. On i'm
portant matters recently, Congress
has almost humiliated itself in sub
servience. The Senate, passing
measure to set up an aviation board,
was faced by clean-cut alternatives.
One proposal said members Of the
board could be removed by the Pres
ident only for 'malfeasance, neglect
or ineff1ciency." The other proposal
said the President could remove "for
any cause" The latter proposal won,
by close vote to be sure, 80 to 80.
II the President were given that de-
gree of power over every board and
commission, he would have greater
arbitrary authority than would have
been given him by the omnibus
Government reorganization measure,
which the House little while ago
rejected as too much.
The House, after rejecting Mr..
Roosevelts wage and hour measure,
is reconsidering it. And the House
voted the pump-priming funds to Mr..
Roosevelt without material check to
the Presidents power Of allocating the
funds in his observation-disclosures the
House well knew that in doing this
they were giving Mr.. Roosevelt power
over their individual political fortunes.
With the power of allocating the relief
and pump-priming funds in the States
and districts, Mr.. Roosevelt has q
leverage that could defeat recalcitrant
members Of Congress for denomination.
The subservience of Democrats in
Congress to the President is political
only, and may be temporary. The
whole Of the House and a third OF the
Senate are up for denomination and
reelection, In primaries that take
place from week to week. A Congress-
man in that situation Is not going to
offend any voters that he can avoid
offending.
Won't Defy Voters.

Not just now. The new Congress,

The cleavage between New Deal
Democrats and anti-ones, the struggle
for dominance in the Democratic party
and control over the presidential NOM
nation in 1910, remains the most
deep-reaching political condition in
the country. Some of the anti-New
Deal Democrats, like Mr.. Garner, will
never carry the fight to the point Of
disrupting the party. They will try
to lease" Mr.. Roosevelt and the New
Dealers out, and give the presidential
nomination in 1910 to some Democrat
who is neutral as between the factions.
But there are other anti-New Dealers,
leaders and voters, who If necessary,
would 90 all the way to secession from
