anti-New Deal sentiment. They were
equally determined to use all the vast

FDR Leaves
For Capital;

Withholds Comment
On Election Losses;
Cuban Dictator Visits
Washington

HYDE Park, N. Y, Nov. 10.-(AP)-
President Roosevelt left for Washing
ton at 1855 p. M, eastern standard
time today. The President, non-com-
initial on the Republican congress
ional and gubernatorial gains in
Tuesdays elections, thus ended an
other eight-day stay here to return to
Washington for Armistice Day exer-
cises.
His special train was scheduled to
arrive in Washington tonight. If the
election results dealt a severer blow
than Mr.. Roosevelt had expected, it
was not reflected in a statement last
night by Secretary Marvin Mcintyre,
who replied, when asked for presi-
Dental comment on Democratic
losses:
"He (the President said there
would be no comments He said he is
feeling very cheerful and everything is
grand"
At Washington, meanwhile, election
losses which cut deeply into the FIRES
idents numerical majority in Con-
gress may give the balance of power
on occasion to the small band of anti
administration Democrats. This group
combined with Republicans in 1887
to kill the Presidents court bill. A
similar coalition in the House defeat
ed the first wage-hour bill and the
government reorganization program
both of which passed the Senate by
scant margins.
In the 1889 session, the Democrats
will have majority of about 20 SEN
ate seats and more than 40 House
seats, but several times in the last
two years fully that number of DEM
ocrats have voted against the admin
:stration.

nOuncement of a prospective ID per
cent. pay cut and the workers, vote
in favor of walk-out to resist it.
1t was an admirably-drafted law, as
has been proved by it's effectiveness
heretofore. The Wagner Act, creating
the Labor Relations Board, was just
as well intended, but it isn't operat-
ing as satisfactorily. The newer wage
hour law isn't asserting itself as
smoothly as Richberg's legislative con-
coction did. It may presently get to
working perfectly, but intiially there
is a bit of friction. Richberg'sl plan
slid into action without particle Of
it. 1t remains to be seen how 1t will
stand it's current test, betweenI now
and December However, the prospect
is pretty good. The Richberg system
promises to hold water. OF course the
Iailroad managements wfil that, they
were done a terrible injustice by the
mediators' decision against a wage
cut, and can, if they choose, go ahead
with it, precipitating a strike. But
they know that public opinion will
be overwhelmingly against them.
AS to public opinion? 1t hasn't been
much perturbed. Time was when the
threat of national railroad strike
would have scared this country into
hysteria. Not now, though; there has
been general confidence in that Rich
