LABOR SHOULD REMEMBER

One of the common but little understood ways
lin which labor gets the worst of it was shown in
New York the other day. The consolidated Edi-
son system has been issuing bonds, $26OOOO,OO0
of them; and the New York Public Service Com
mission, going the books, declares the ex-
pense accounts unreasonable and unjustified' -
The Consolidated paid too large commission to
the bankers for underwriting in the first place,
and added huge sums for advertising and legal
advice, the commission said
ut is our Judgment" said the commission,
that no part of the expenses of Morgan Stanley
& Co. inc, of the advertising firms which render
ed bills to that company, for legal services
dered to the underwriters should be paid by any
IF the six companies (the subsidiares) that issued
the bonds. The other legal expenses should, in
our opinion, be cut in half"
Of course, the operating companies would add
all these charges to their light bills and soak the
consumer. But labor, which so many fail to re-
alize is soaked, too. 1t cannot be repeated too
often that graft and excess profits never get to
the pay envelope. The Expenses" of these bond
Issues were S7775,888. Half of this is S3,S87,-
N4; which means that if it did go into the pay en-
velope, it would keep $500 persons working for
Ia year at $125 month"; Not to be sneezed at,
these days.
Excess profits and respectable graft like that
described by the New York Public Service Com
mission come out of the consumer first; but out
of the hide of labor before they are through

quences?" Fine thing, all right, but
when you work three years trying to
establish yourself in your chosen
field, 1t wasn't easy. If he had
thought about it at all he would
have favored the idea of an en-
gagement, a simple ceremony and a
relaxing honeymoon at the seashore.
1t was a most discouraging out
look, and the unfortunate part was
that now he knew how Celina felt,
he loved her more and wanted her
more than ever before. He found
himself in quandary, cropping hope
lessly. Then on Monday of the next
week Mr.. Deering, president of the
firm for which Tom worked, called
him into the Office.
Lon, there's an opening for q
young and ambitious man down in
South America, representing our
firm. If you'd like the chance, you
can have it. You'll have to decide
now. The boat sails at seven to-
night. How about it?"
III take it!" cried Lon, before he
had time to consider anything ex-
cept that opportunity was knocking
and he'd better grab hold
splendid! It's fine chance. Go
home and pack your things. I'll
make your reservations.
Lon didn't think Of Celina till he
was half way down in the elevator.
A terribly depressed feeling assailed
him. This meant he'd probable nev-
er see her again. 1t meant that while
he was gone some adventurous
youth would come along and-Lon's
train of thought suddenly stopped
and began along new channels

preparatory to going to lunch when

nized as Lon Cabot burst into her

you since you we're 6. Now. look,

your job and get bang out of i'm

Celina glanced at her watch. then
at Lon. Her eyes were sparkling.

and got one. He used to drive back
and forth from Riverside in his
coupe.
One day he saw girl hurrying
toward the railroad station, and
recognized Celina. He stopped and
asked her if she would like ride
into the city.
Celina was 81 then. She had out
grown the rather awkward scraWni-
ness of her childhood. He was
amazed at the transition that had
taken place.
She told him she was private Sec
retary to Junior partner in law
firm. He asked her why she didn't
discontinue riding in on the train
and let him drive her each morning.
She had to accept; there was no rea-
son for her to refuse.
So it became habit. They found
much of common interest. Each con-
sidered the other an old, old friend.
They talked of everything from
books and drama to war and philos-
ophy. Occasionally they talked of
love. They studiously kept all re-
marks impersonal, exchanging views
with the freedom of two old friends
"Of course" Celina told him,
laughingly. Il have my ideas on
love- Real love. 1t happens the min
ute boy and girl see each other.
All other love is false, for it is the
type that is the result of effort"
We'll, WE'LL" declared Lon.
Recognition of this love at first
sight" continued Celina, her face
now serious, gives birth to impulse
And impulse is the only means of
getting a genuine thrill out of court
ship"
BE kind enough to elucidate,"
urged Lon.
We'll, it's like this: Cut and dried,
matter -of-fact courtships and mar
riages rob love of its glamor. I
mean, if things happen quick and
fast, without forethought and pre-
arranged plans, there's an unde-
niable kick in it. Soon enough
newly couple have to settle
down to the accepted routines and
patterns of life. Why deprive them
of the cherished memories of
glamorous courtship?"
Its o. K. by me-" Lon assured
her.
Curiously, during that day and
the few days that followed, Lon was
depressed. He didn't dare analyze
his feelings But he knew without
analyzing. He knew that he had
fallen in love with Celina Cook, and
now that he had become cognizant
of her thoughts about this and that,
he felt that he didn't measure up.
Good night! He had known her
since she was knee high to stunted
duck. Did she think he should
have declared ardent love to her

WAR-AND NO QUARTER:
O'CONNOR TAKES UP ROOSEVELT
BATTLE GAGE ON AIR TONIGHT
Will Ask Voters
To Disregard
Reputation

NEW YORK, Aug. 18 Q.N.S0.
Separated by several hundred
miles, but akin in their battle to
survive the lightning Of presiden-
tial wrath, two members of the
United States Congress today
drafted pleas to their constituents
to disregard the Presidents meas
ured reputation of their New Deal
loyalty.
Both men wear the Democratic
party label. but both have been
singled out by the President for q
party purge" because OF their
lukewarm attitude toward some OF
the legislation sponsored by the
Administration.
The on-the-Spot lawmakers are
Representative John j. O'Connor,
of New York, and Senator Mil
lard E. Tydings Of Maryland.
O'Connor, chairman Of the power
full House Rules Committee and
leader of the successful battle
against Mr.. Roosevelt's reorganiza-
ton bill, is fighting for both
Democratic and Republican in
dorsement in his campaign for
reelection.
Tydings, dismissed by the Presi-
dent as a seeker Of office with the
backing of Administration pres
tige and Republican funds, is now
engaged in a primary battle with
Representative David j. Lewis on
whom the Administration smiles.

The fact is the step has been
decided upon by those who are

THE Administration has been
l. ducking it for three years.
Announced reason was the ire
mendous bookkeeping involved
in trying to collect social secur-
ity taxes from every wife and
farmer able to employ help. The
socializing securitists, however,
have now worked out a scheme
to take care of that difficulty,
at least in its major application
to domestic servants.
Each maid or Washwoman
would be given a book issued
by the Government with her
number, maybe her picture, and
identification. Then the Gov
ernment will sell SIS stamps to
the housewife, just like postage
stamps, but probably not with
anyone'S picture on them, at
least not anyone who wants to
be elected to office again, as this
is one industry in which the
employers outnumber the work
erS by about 3 or 4 to l..
ers by about 3 or 4 to l.
Each pay day, the maid would
get out her book and require the
housewife to place therein a
stamp bought from the Govern
ment. If the salary was $40 a
week, the old-age stamp would
be a 80 center for the house
wife and a 80 center for the
servant. If extended to unem-
ployment insurance, the house
wife would put in another 80
center for that, with no con-
tribution from the maid. In any
event it would not cost the
housewife more than 60 cents

For present purposes, since this

Take the Democratic registration

SIGNIFICANT FACT
The first significant fact which
emergeS is that no Maryland pri-
mary has tever brought out more
than half of this number. Even
the Ritchie- Conley campaign of
1884, when the late Governor
Ritchie was fighting with his back
to the wall, with defeat at the
hands of Governor Nice just
ahead, only 244,000 votes were
cast. The same year the Radcliffe
Maloy senatorial fight brought out
100000 votes for the two Sena-
torial aspirantS.
25O,OOO PRIMARY
1t is probably a good guess that
this years battle will bring out a
little larger vote than usual-say
250,000 Democrats. perhaps a few
more. 1t might even run around
100000, depending on how in
tensely the voters feel about issues
and candidates.
In 1885 President Roosevelt got
l389,6l2 votes to Landon's 231, ,436
ra total of 621,04E votes cast
The Washington times., 1938-08-18

for the two candidates. But no
primary fight yet has ever brought
as many as 250,00O Democrats to
the polls.
Now pass from those figures for
the moment to the potential New
Deal vote in Maryland-not the
Lewis vote, but the sources from
which the Lewis vote may be rea-
sonably expected to come.
OFFICIAL SOURCES
Start with these figures, all OBJ

TYDINGS READY
TO ANSWER F,D.R,
in BALTIMO ORE
Indicates He'll Reply on
Return from Tour
By JAMES J. CULLINANE

by JAMES j. CULLANANE
On the heels of President
RooSevelt's denunciation Of Sena-
tor Millard Tydings as a New Deal
"betrayer," Representative David
j. Lewis suggested last night that
the Senator withdraw from the
Democratic ticket and run for re-
election as a Republican.
Senator TydingS, campaigning
on Maryland's Eastern Shore, re-
mained silent in the face Of the
Presidents caStigation, but indi-
Gated he would reply to the at
tack on him when he returns to
Baltimore tomorrow night.
"CALL SPADE A SPADE"
Representative Lewis, who is
running against Senator Tydings
with the frank support of PreSi-
dent Roosevelt, demanded in a
statement issued from his Balti-
more headquarters that the Sena-
tor "call a spade a spade" and
come out in his true colorS as a
Tory Republican"
II am glad that President
Roosevelt has brought so clearly
and emphatically into the
OPEN" said Repr eSentative
Lewis, "that Millard TydingS is
running as Democrat but vot-
jvou oc PnD1lh1ican
"It brings to mind what the
Tydings camp would like the
Democrats. to forget, namely
that many prominent Republic
ans urged the party not to run a
Republican candidate against
Senator Tydings. This includes
John Philip Hill, former Re-
publican congressman and Will
liam P. Jackson, former Repub-
Ncan Senator"
purge FOR KLECKA?
Fuel was added to reports Of
political repriSals in the campaign
today with word from informed
sources that August Klecka,
United States marshal in Balti-
more will be "purged" from his
job for his support Of Senator
Tydings. No action is expected
in Klecka's case, however, until
the President returns from his
Canadian trip, it was said.
Indicative of the nationwide in
terest aroused in the Maryland
senatorial campaign by the Presi-
dents denunciation of Senator
TydingS was an editorial in the
New York Times this morning.
Defending Senator Tydings, the
Times said that according to the
test applied by the President "s
member of Congress fails to per
form his duty when he does his
thinking for himself"
When he arrived at Denton,
Md, last night, Senator Tydings
said he had found the receptions
accorded throughout Talbot and
Coraline counties extremely fine
and gratifying"
"NO COMMENT TO MAKE"
On the Presidents blast against
him, Senator TydingS would
merely say:
II have no comment to make
at this time"
Senator George L. Radcliffe,
rated as a loyal New Dealer, who
is managing Senator Tydings cam
paign, was placed in an ironic posi-
ton by the Presidents statement.
Despite the Presidents interven-
ton in the Maryland campaign,
Senator Radcliffe said he is conf
dent Senator Tydings will be re-
nominated and elected this fall.
Senator Radcliffe refused to COM
lment on the Presidents thrust at
Tydings.
IT want to talk over the matter
with Senator TydingS before
issue a statement" Radcliffe
said.
