Louisiana Declares War

NEW ORLEANS.-The first con-

Great numbers of edible fish are
being pulled in by fishermen in
spots where needle-nosed gars once

Garfsh traps were set in small,
badly-infested areas last summer.
This spring more than 100 black
bass beauties have answered the
lures in one two-acre region. This
is a catch represented at more than
so pounds Of black bass per acre.
Cars are both predators and

at this stage Is that if and when
Lewis does appear before any con-

be subjected to a grilling that will

Now, thus far. this column has
dealt only with Lewis. There is
more.
Wherever politicians gathered
around Washington during the week
following the Incorporate action by
Lewis, one could not fail to hear
conjecture as to its effect upon the
movement to make the vice presi-
dent the Democratic presidential
nominee next year. The feeling was
almost unanimous that Cactus

an attack by Lewis, who led the sit

not fail to swerve voting support

Reaction Comes Quickly

As an Illustration Of how these
things react, mention may be made
that Immediately after the Lewis
eruption Of political lava, the house
labor committee decided to 60 for

amendments TO which Lewis was
violently opposed. True. there was
no member Of the committee had
the CUTS to give Lewis a can-down

send the legislation to the fioAr for
debate and. in effect, tell Lewis to
take his marbles and 60 home.
It was the second time that Lewis
has pulled stupid boners. actions so
dumb that they seem inexplainable
when they come from a man who
has had the build-up given Lewis as
a labor leader and politician. It will
be recalled how. a year ago, Lewis

Lewis Violent Blast at Garner

WASHINGTON. There have been
so many instances in history where
one act or one expression, or one
omission, has changed the course Of
events that 1t is necessary here to
make mention only that such things
happen. Everyone has seen them.
In only a few instances. however.
have those on the scene been able
to make q guess as to the far
reaching consequences. On the 9TH
er hand, q number can be recalled
which obviously were going to raise
cain from the start. It is one Of
the latter type about which I write
now.
When John L. Lewis burst forth
with angry violence and referred
to Vice President Garner as "a la
bor-baiting, poker-playing, whiskey-
drinking. old man." he wrote ''fnis"
for his long career as labor, lead

ers paying him dues. John Lewis Is
through as a political influence in
behalf Of organized labor.
II is not meant here that Lewis
will not continue to shout and tear
his hair and accuse everyone Of be-
ing unfair to organized. labor; he
still has his vicious tongue, and he. is
still president Of the Congress Of In
dustrial Organizations. AS long as
he has that title he can go places
and make speeches and drive home
threats and yell bloody murder"
and, Of course. he viii get newspa.
pers to print his statements. what
am saying is. however. that Lewis
has created such resentment around
the capitol building as seldom has
been seen. and instead of having
weasel congressman obey his die
tates, their greetings to him here
after are likely to be of the thumb
to-nose variety.

Lewis Does More Harm to

One could follow these questions

which way the thing will come out.
Probably Mr.. Garner will not be the
Democratic nominee at all. But
these conjectures / have been max

Of the assertion that Lewis demon
strated his lack Of political ability
than for any other reason. And in
making that statement, still enter
tain a belief thst Lewis has done
more harm to organized labor's
cause than any other one man in
America.
One has only to. realize that the
Lewis prestige already was on the
down grade. The leadership he has
been exerting has been shown in its
true colors. When these are coupled
with the fact that he stopped to
make the personal life Of a national
figure the subject of his remarks,

years. l believe there can be no
question about his integrity. His

then. by any chance, Mr.. Garner
should be the Democratic nominee,
where does that leave John L. Lew

that Lewis has led his faction of un-
ion workers into another blind alley.

Factions of Democratic
Party Split Further Asunder

The influence of the Lewis state
ment does not stop there, however,
for there is definite cleavage in
the ranks Of the majority party al
ready. 1t is to be remembered in
this connection that the backbone
OF the Democratic party has been
the solid South" The South, gen.
orally speaking. has chung to con-
sentative ways and modes Of living
and has maintained traditions which
have served its people well. That
viewpoint is quite contrary to the
New Deal and to the Presidents
advisors of this month. Nor have
the Presidents advisors enjoyed the
knowledge that lot Of Mr.. Gamers
friends have been pushing him very
hard for the party nomination in
1910. Naturally, these folks around
the White House are the leaders in
the plan to have President Roose-
welt seek precedent-breaking third
term. They do not like to see man
become too popular or who might
offer real resistance to a Roosevelt
nomination.
From these facts, it becomes more
or less obvious that the Lewis at
tack on Mr.. Garner constitutes
something Of bombshell in splitting
the two factions Of the Democratic
party further asunder. With the
Lewis record Of support of every
thing new dealish. 1t can not fail to
convince voters Of the brand of Gar
ner democracy.
There is still q further phase or
sphere Of influence to be mentioned.
Mr.. Garner has long been known as
conservative Democrat and he has
long been powerful in the councils Of
his party. To enter upon an assump-
ton, then. that he may be the Demo
cratic nominee next year. where
does that leave the Republicans? Re
publican leadership has been steer
ing to the right. to the conservative
side. as far as they have shown
their hand. The question to be asked
after that statement is. where does
