MISS PERKINS HITS
MARITIME CHECKS
Strike Restrictions Advised
by Kennedy "Mistake,"
Senate Group Told.
BACKGROUND

oAChIHOUNU-
Maritime labor has been one OF
most troublous of past two years
as interunton riudlries complicated
conditions resulting from seamen's
fight to Improve their Uorking con-
ditions. After dimding blame be-
tween shipoaOners and unions,
Maritime Commission recommend
ed Establishment of labor mediation
system comparable to that of rail-
road industry. Maritime unions
hape opposed legislation.
b the Associated Press.
Secretary Of Labor Perkins told the
Senate Commerce Committee TODAY
enactment of the labor provisions OF
the new maritime bill "or anything
like them" would be mistake.
These provisions, recommended by
Joseph p. Kennedy. former chairman
OF the Maritime Commission. would
restrict the right of seamen to strike
much as railroad labors right to strike
is restricted.
The committee. meeting in closed
session, asked Miss Perkins to explain
why her department had not deported
Harry Bridges, Committee for Indus
trial Organization leader on the Pa.
cific Coast.
Bridges. Australian-bom, was a
leader of both the 1884 and 1896
water front strikes. Miss Perkins has
said the department was investigating
charges that he was q Communist
and subject to deportation.
Says Tactics Best for Peace.
The Labor Secretary suggested that
Congress let present water front labor
developments continue as the best
way to obtain eventual peace.
The existing governmental agencies
can help" she said.
The National Labor Relations
Board is already helping with its elec.
tionS and with its enforcement of
the prohibitions against unfair labor
practices and interference with the
right to organize.
Il think the United States Maritime
Commission also can help great
deal by encouraging and promoting
the practices and procedures of COL
lective bargaining among the shipping
companies.
Developments Held Promising.
The Department of Labor is also
willing to assist in this development,
and its conciliation service stands
ready to help adjust such disputes as
may occur.
II would recommend, therefore.
that we permit the present promising
developments to continue to work
themselves out"
She predicted that within q few
years both employers and employees
would have gained experience and
learned discipline.
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 enacted in 1926, then
the time will be right for enacting q
law similar to this bill for the ship
ping industry"

Matter Brought to Attention of CON-

today Of q reported $105,000 shortage

The matter was called to the atten-
ton Of the committee by Senator Pitt

Of Wyoming as to how much longer

his interrogation of Mr. Burlew.
Senator Pittman did not 60 into

detail regarding the cafeteria matter
except to remark that the substantial
shortage was settled, he understood,
for $4,000. He said he might want to
question Mr.. Burlew as to any knowl-
edge he might have in this connection,
as he felt the handling of the case
might throw light on the witness fit
ness for promotion from administrative
assistant to First Assistant Interior
Secretary.
After the hearing had recessed
until Tuesday, Senator Pittman told
reporters he was not familiar with
all the details Of the cafeteria matter,
except that he knew there had been
shortage in the cafeteria's accounts

Southern Senators today made plans,
subject to change, for an early show
down on the anti-lynching bill.
While Senator Borah, Republican,
of Idaho. attacked constitutionality of
the measure, the Southerners agreed
tentatively on an attempt to call up
the Independent otices appropriation
bill, thus sidetracking the long debated
anti-lynching issue.
They said one Of the lynch bill op-
ponents, probably Senator Byrnes,
Democrat, of South Carolina, might
offer the motion later In the day.
Senator Borah challenged a provi-
sion Of the bill which he said would
permit the Federal Government to
institute judicial proceedings against
State governments.
This provision would require pay
ment Of damages to the family of q
lynching victim by the county in
which a lynching occurred.
Senator Borah told the senate he
believed this provision. in effect, per-
mitted . Federal action against a
sovereign State"
The Idaho veteran argued that from
early days Of the Government the
Supreme Court had laid down . rule
that the State and Federal Gov-
ernments could not interfere with
each other. He said there had never
been any change or dissent to those
Unanimous decisions"
Most Senate seats we're filled as
Senator Borah spoke. in contrast to
the small number Of Senators present
during most Of the weeks-long fli-
buster.
The dual system of government,
he said, would be threatened III the
Federal sovereignty is permitted to
interfere with the State sovereignty"
Undoubtedly" he said. "the State
can fix such responsibility for its
counties Is 1t sees fit."
