A PLEASANT SURPRISE?
FACING The MUSIC

Perhaps it is too early to venture
prediction, but it is not too early to hope
that the CIO-AFL conference in Wash
ington will bring about lasting peace
between these two labor organizations.
If such peace is established, 1t Will be
with considerable surprise to many
however, because OF the almost diametri-
cally opposed theories followed by the
two labor organizations.
If the CIO will give up its radicalism
and the AFL its sefishness, peace might
be possible. But will they?

He likes his present job-says us
moro work than the assignments
he had in the army engineer corps,
but more fun too. He Is mclineu
to think that WPA or somethIlS
like il will be with us for quite
while yet, although he hopes thaC
as business picks up the WPA roll
can be cut down to a million men
or less. This, he suspects, may take
a couple of years.
He believes that WPA offers
chance to make a real contrlpu-
tion to the solution of one OF the
nations toughest problems what
tc do about the unemployed-ano
points out that since population
growth adds half million men TO
the ranks of the workers each year
the problem may be a long time
getting solved.
AS an army engineer, Col. Var
rington has had plenty of expert
ence with civilian workers on con-
struction jobs in private industry.
He says it isn't quite fair to ask
him to compare those workers with
the WPA crews.
The private contractors pick the
best men they can get, and the
age level in their crews is sub
stantially lower than in WPA. Those
allowances made, he adds, the WPA
crews can stand the comparison
very well.
The colonel knows how to dele
gate authority, and refuses to let
paper work pile up on his desk.
He doesn make snap judgments
but once he has passed on a prob
lem or a Job he doesn't go back

his time about saying something

Just because, for a change, II

let's take up the complaint OF 5.
F. Markham, a member of the
House OF Commons, that American
slang is debauching the tongue OF
Shakespeare and Milton.
Markham views with unmitlgated
horror the prospect that on some
future and parlous day the First
Commissioner Of Works, in his zeSt
for bringing the House up to date
will label the AYE" Lobby the 'Sez
You Lobby, and the other the IN
clude Me Out Lobby
Whoever the First Commissioner
of Works may be, he might &c
worse. The innovation might serve
to stir little spice into a legisla- =
tive procedure which. If our own
is any criterion, probably lacks
something Of being at all times
breathlessly inspiring.
Markham has already been wei
answered by Stephen Beacock, the
Canadian economist-humorist, who
admits that he himself speaks on
tario English" Leacock makes
clear that slang is nothing to Wor'
ry about. so far as the future o.
the English language Is concerned
for time shows that only thos'
slang phrases and words which
have actual merit tend to survive
And if they make a genuine ad

language better.

LIP SERVICE TO
BETTER RELATIONS

The New Deal this week climaXed a
month of lip service TO the cause OF co
operation between business and govern
menf with utter defiance of congressional
plans to reduce federal relief spending
and modify obnoxious legislation such
as the Wagner Labor Relations act
Fortunately for a cautious business
recovery lust now once again showing
its head above the trenches, there is
every probability that congress Will go
ahead. regardless of New Deal theories,
and make the necessary adjustments.
The fact remains, more clearly estao-
lshed than ever, that business, industry
and other constructive forces Will de-
mend on congress, not on the New Deal,
for help toward economic stability
The New Deals overtures toward bus
mess began with Harry Hopkins, No.
New Dealer. when he was appointed sec
retary of commerce. In every talk after
his appointment he stressed friendship
and a desire to help business. The cam
paign grew when the President himself
assured the nation that no new measures
are contemplated placing additional ouf-
dens on industry.
This week the old New Dealism broke
through, however.
The President announced that, despite
the firm stand reiterated many times III
congress, he will ask an additional LOO
millions for relief And Speaker Will
liam B. Bankhead, emerging from
White House conference announced III
the same connection that 1T is definite
policy of the administration to do any
thing within reason for business-out
without abandoning the reforms the
administration has instituted.
Then came the statement that may
provide key to this so-called new trend
ship for business.
"This administration, said Bankhead,
"has never been opposed to business
Thus it appears that the new policy
is no new policy at all, but merely a
continuation of the one which, tor SIX
wears. business has looked upon with
fear. The administration evidently still
has the axe out for economic royallsts
but it wants to befriend business. 1t still
wants to do away with money changers
but offers the olive branch to business
1t seems pardonable under the circum-
stances to inquire just what the admins
trations definition of business is.
For six wears the New Deal has Grip
pied business, and now it tells US IN the
same breath that it wants to do nothing
to harm business. and that it will con-
tinue the same policy it has followed
in the past.
Business is willing to let byegones be
byegones. but business is not willing to
be made the goat in political change of
heart that goes no deeper than the sur
face, and is made only because 1910 and
national election are approaching

WASHINGTON running the
manifold affairs of WPA gets Col.
Francis P. Harrington down, 1t
won't be the colonel's fault. He
believes in putting a job in its place.
Most Washington office-holders
tell you that they are on practi-
cally 24-hour duty-take work home
at night. come down Sundays, live
for their work, never have a chance
to exercise or relax. But not the
WPA administrator.
Col. Harrington figures that II
a man has to work overtime day
in and day out it's probably the
mans fault rather than the jobs.
He recalls that when he first came
to WPA as assistant administrators
in the fail of 1885 he had to work
IA or Is hours d day.
Nowadays he gets down to work
about $50 in the morning and goes
home around 6 or $50 in the eve
ming. He steals march on the
lob by coming down on holidays,
now and then. and getting in three
or four hours of concentrated work.
Then, he explains, these telephones
leave me alone" He figures he will
presently have things systematized
Sc that he can move quitting time
up a bit. But he'll never belong to
the two-hours- -for-lunch fraternity
Following graduation from the
u. s. Military Academy in 1908,
Harrington entered the army en-
gineer corps. He had charge OF a
construction crew during building
of the Panama Canal and later
oversaw maintenance there. When
America entered the war, he gave
up a mathematics teaching post at
West Point to serve as Instructor
in officers training camps. He is
g graduate of several U. S. service
schools and attended the Ecole Su-
perieure de Guerre in Paris. The
colonel celebrated birthday 81 last
fall.
He looks as fit as a youngstel
fresh out of West Point He has
clear, pinkish complexion - hi
nickname, among his friends. il
"Pinkie"-and neat grayish hair
He looks military, even in civilian
clothes, but isn't the crisp, damn
