to that great mass Of people who are
too inherently honest to call a doctor

him"

now in prospect, which will be a per-
manent undertaking, is ''the first large

IF we applied today the medical

President Roosevelt predicts indus
trial dislocations caused by the wage
hour law gradually will disappear.
Commenting yesterday on scattered
suspensions Of operations reported
.since the statute went into effect
Monday, Mr.. Roosevelt commented
that social legislation frequently Gre
ated temporary difficulties.
He proposed that Government and
industry set out, as practical meas
ure, to make the law work smoothly.
He added that even the most reac-
tlonary newspaper owners and poll
ticians had patriotic duty to try to
make the statute operate smoothly.
The President said, too, it was un-
fortunate that plant shutdowns, such
as occurred in the pecan-shelling in
dustry, should come just two weeks
before an election.
He made these statements shortly
after he discussed operation of the law
with Elmer F. Andrews, wage-hour
administrator. Among other things,
Mr. Andrews talked with the President
about the possibility Of augmenting
the 100000 appropriation Congress
made for his Office.
Administrator Andrews general

The testimony showed very clearly
that Well-known Communists insti-
gated and engineered the sit-down
strikes and the so-called Lansing holi-
day when the State Capitol was barri-
caded by mob of $4,000 people, and
when 1000 of them, many of whom
were armed with clubs, we're ordered
to march on the university and to
bring part of it back with them.
THE State police sat helplessly by
for lack of instructions from the Gov
ernor in the face of open rebellion,
while the Governor complacently
looked down upon the scene from g.
window in the Capitol.
1T cannot be disputed that mis-
demeanors and felonies were commit
ted on that disgraceful day under the
very eyes of the Governor who had
sworn to uphold law and order.
If open and undisguised rebellion is
to be countenanced in the name of
political expedency, then constitutional
democracy in America will perish"
Mr.. Roosevelt said settlement of the
Flint strike without loss of life was
"a great achievement of great Amer
ican.' He noted, too, that Gov. Mur-
ply never said word in conformation
of the sit-down strike or any illegal
practice"
Representative Thomas, Republican,
of New Jersey, a member of the Dies
committee, called the Presidents s

Recently Secretary Perkins and
Chairman Dies have been at odds over

Mr.. Knowles suggested to Mr.. Dies
and his colleagues yesterday that they
examine, with view to impeachment
proceedings, his charges of "dereliction
of duty" against Miss Perkins in i'm
migration cases.
Mr.. Knowles and his associate, Mr.
Nimmo, of the League committee also
told the Dies group yesterday that
Communists had organized agricul-
tural and cannery workers of Califor-
MIA for the purpose of tying up food
supplies at time Of general strike or

UPONT CIRCLE continues

~ UPONT CIRCLE continues to
be the scene Of diAsension
and argument which has been
- carried on in one form or
another for more than half q century.
1t seems odd that q beautiful spot
where SO many children have joyously
played for so long has become such q
storm center. These clouds Of strife
have been more acute recently.
The circle situated between two OF
the most important avenues of the
city, Massachusetts, and Connecticut
avenues, to say nothing Of beautiful
New Hampshire, was originally named
Pacific Circle. It is curious that this
name was originally chosen for q park
around which strife was to arise, and
everything that was not quiet on
peaceful
In 1884 the name was changed to
Dupont Circle, the name it now bears
in honor Of Admiral Samuel F. Du-
pont. A statue was erected to the
famed naval officer. But the family
asserted that it bore no resemblance
to him and begged that it be taken
down. They offered to put up me-
mortal fountain instead and at their
expense Finally, in 1921, their wishes
were granted and the mountain re-
placed the statue.
For a while all remained serene.
Then Washington's traffic began to
increase. Plans were studied by the
Traffic Department and Engineer De-
partment Of the city to try and find
some way to relieve congestion. 1t
was found advisable during the morn
ing rush hour to reroute east-bound
vehicles on Massachusetts, avenue down
Twentieth street, keeping that section
Of the trafic away from the circle.
That regulation has been enforced
now for several years. The conditions
there also were somewhat improved
when the traction company tore up
its p street tracks. But the north
bound street cars on Connecticut ave-
nue. still were permitted to go the
wrong way around the circle. Pro-
tests availed nothing. The situation
was unique, but it remained so. Also
