Hoffman Dares N.L.R.B.

GLARE E. HOFFMAN, Republi-
~ can congressman from Michi-
gan, has challenged the National La
Dor Relations board in the matter
of constitutional guarantees of free
dom of speech and of the press. He
sent to the board letter recalling
that the body recently declared the
circulation of a house speech by
Hoffman constituted an unfair labor
practice under the Wagner act. In
the speech Hoffman declared that
known communists were active in
the Committee for Industrial Organ
iZation and denounced c. l. 0 sit
down strikes as communistic meth
DDS.
This Speech" Hoffman's letter
said. was republished, with illus
trations, by the Constitutional Edu-
cational league of New Haven,
Conn.
II am now offering, and intend
to continue to offer, to furnish to
any and all interested persons, in
cluding employees, employers. or
others, copies of this address for
circulation at the actual cost of
printing, and to recommend that
employees might well read this ad-
dress before joining the c. l. o."
Commenting on the letter, Repre-
boards ruling would preclude the
distribution of newspapers contain
ing news items or editorials criti-
cal of any organization or Of activi-
ties of the labor board.
The American Federation of La
Dor charged in its official organ, the
American Federationist, that NAL
administration of the Wagner act is
threatening American democracy.
The publication printed an editorial
bluntly accusing the National La
Dor Relations board of promoting
the rival Committee for Industrial
Organization (which seeks to set up
dual labor movement despite all
the social and economic waste
which dualism involves.
Every agency of the government
that gives status to the c. I. o gives
the same recognition" it continued.
Surely this is not freedom for
workers to choose their own unions
and representative for collective
bargaining, but union development
under government patronage"

President Roosevelt running for
third term, then we must be pre-
pared for that"
Murphy's statement is only an
other indication that the third term
movement is growing rapidly. Vari-
Gus groups have petitioned the Pres
ident to run again In 1910, and Re-
publican National Chairman Ham
ilton says WPA Administrator Har-
ry Hopkins launched a third term
boom the other day when he assert
ed that 80 per cent Of those receiv-
ing relief would vote for Mr.. Roose-

OF course Mr.. Roosevelt says
nothing about all this, but political
observers seem to agree that il the
1910 convention does not appear
ready to get together on a candi-
date who would and could carry on
the New Deal, the President might
well consider it necessary for him
to accept another nomination.

Hull Prods Cardenas

CECRETARY OF STATE HULL,

to President Cardenas sharp note
protesting Mexico's failure to pay
for American owned farm lands that
the Mexican government has seized.
Mr.. Hull asked that the matter be
submitted to arbitration. The Sec
retary has in this the full approval
of President Roosevelt, for the ad-
ministration feels that Cardenas is
endangering the Good Neighbor"
relations between the two countries.
Sen. Key Pittman of the senate
foreign relations committee also
backs up Mr.. Hull, asserting that
if Mexico refuses to arbitrate she
will be subject to economic penal
ties.
Mexico" he said, 'then would
forfeit all the financial and other
voluntary aid we have given her
through our spirit of friendship and
desire for peace, prosperity, and up

sonable young man could hardly
talk for weeping. He wanted to
buy back the book, Manon.
After much weeping, Duval told
the story of the Lady of the Camel
las.
Marguerite Gautier, outstanding
among the lovely women in Paris,
had as her favorite flower the ca
mellia, which she wore the year
round in preference to all other
flowers. From the time that Ar
mand first saw her, his life was
not the same. When he obtained an
introduction to her, he was so over
come that he made very silly inn
preston and for two years he made
no effort to see her again. At one
time she was i'll for two months.
and he went daily to inquire about
her, never leaving his name.
Marguerite Is COnsumptive.
Finally he arranged to meet her
again. When she learned that it
was he who had come daily for two
months, she was interested and in
Vited him to supper. He knew al
ready that she was consumptive.
Marguerite had never seen any
one pity her so deeply and she was
touched. When Armand told her
how much he loved her, she ex-
planned that her mode of life was
lavish, that she spent 100,0 900 francs
a year. But no arguments pre-
vailed against their mutual attrac-
ton. Marguerite loved Armand.
AS spring came, she suggested
that they leave Paris and take a
house in the country for the sum-
mer. This plan seemed idyllic, and
proved to be so. For six months
the lovers were happy. Then came
message for Armand to meet his
father in Paris.
The interview between father and
son was stormy, but neither gave
way to the other. The next day
Armand called again to see his faith
er but found him out. Return
ing to Marguerite he found her in a
state of agitation worse than he
had believed possible. She gave him
vague reasons and wept contin-
uously. The next day she urged
Armand to go once more to see his
father. To please her, he did So.
Marguerite Disappears.
Late in the evening when Armand
returned to the country, he found
the house dark. Frantic, he found
that Marguerite had gone. A letter
stated that their relationship had
been lovely, but it could not last.
Armand was wild He would show
her! Back in Paris he went every
where that Marguerite went, he
gambled and lived recklessly, TAX
ing every occasion to insult her.
Marguerite fled from Paris.
In her exile, the Lady OF the
Camellias knew that she would soon
die. Longing for Armand she wrote
him each day, but did not send
the letters. She gave instructions
that when she was dead these let
! ters with one other should be sent
to Armand.
On returning to Paris, Armand
| learned of her death and received
her letters with one from his father
to Marguerite in which Armand'S S
father had implored Marguerite in
the name of her love to give up his
son so that the family name and
future would be untarnished. The
| importunate letter had used every
means to win her to the idea that
she would be doing an heroic deed in
| the name of love.
The plot of Verdi's opera, La
Traviata," comes from this book.
