But the forecaster says it's really
not his fault. He's been double
crossed by the elements. The cold
and rainy spell of the last few days
has been general in the Northeast.
1t prevails only east of the Appa-
lachian Mountains.
A mass of cold air has been NOV
ing down from the Arctic, going
out over the Atlantic and settling
down. Then a north or northeast
erly wind comes along, moves the
cold air in our direction. While
over the ocean the cold mass picked
up load of water.
General circulation has been
slowed up and the forecaseer has
been figuring every day that a wind
would come out of the west and
blow the clouds out to sea. He's
still figuring on 1t.

A. FL. Counsel Hits
Antitrust Probe Of
Building Industry
Curb or Suppression
Of Divisions Power
Desired by Podwoy
BY the Associated Press.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 4.-Joseph A.
PadWay, American Federation of
Labor general counsel, told the Fed
eration's convention today he hoped
Attorney General Murphy would
curb and perhaps suppress" the
powers of his antitrust division cur
rently inquiring into alleged re-
straints in the building industry.
On the basis of what he called
grapevine" reports, Mr.. Padway
said the antitrust division intend
ed to dramatize the situation by
bringing out a series of indictments
at one time against labor leaders
and unions and thus electrify the
country and make it believe labor
has done a great wrong"
What has labor done?" Mr.. Pad
way asked. 1T has only tried to
maintain wage standards to protect
standards of living. That is the rea-
son for labor unions"
He said he did not intend his
remarks to be criticism of either
the administration or Mr.. Murphy.
The Clayton Act passed as an
amendment to the Sherman Anti
trust Act, he said, was intended to
exclude labor from the operations

ton.

Il hope the Attorney General"
Mr.. Padway said, will curb the
power of the division in the direc-
ton it is going and perhaps suppress
it,"
Meanwhile, renewal by organized
labor's divided factions of their
search for an accord requested by
President Roosevelt as a patriotic
service for national unity" hinged
on c. I. o. reaction to the admin
istration's new peace offensive.
Mr.. Roosevelt's message to the A
F. L. annual convention yesterday
declaring that peace negotiations be-
gun under his sponsorship last March
must continue brought a quick
partial answer from A. F.. L. Presi-
dent William Green.
He telegraphed the President the
A. F. L. Peace Committee was wait

gotiations.
Lewis Action Awaited.
Since President Roosevelt an
nounced he would send a similar
peace appeal to the C. I. o. conven-
ton opening in San Francisco Octo-
Der 10, most A. F. L. unionists said
the next move was up to John L.
Lewis and his associates.
Among Federation chieftains there
was speculation that c. I. o. Vice
President Sidney Hillman, known
as a strong advocate for peace in the
labor movement, might persuade the
c. I. o. leadership to change its an
nounced view that negotiations with
the A. F. L. were impossible.

warship operating of Argentina may
be the Admiral Scheer, one of Ger
many's pocket" battleships. Which
gives new impetus to the old argu-
ment over the merits of separate air
forces. British air men who bombed
Nazi bases early in September re-
ported that all of Reich's three
pocket battleships were in harbor.
Recent critical opinion, however,
discounts the reports inasmuch as
British observers had been trained
solely as flyers and lacked naval ex-
perience necessary to identify war

In the meantime, the Nazi subs

HOLLYWOOD.
A great musical nostalgia seems
to be sweeping the country and
motion pictures are taking advan-
tage of the public's desire to grow
moist-eyed humming the tunes of
yesteryear. Some films stay solely
on old-time tunes, others sprinkle
new with the old.
Filmland's first juvenile musical,
Babes in Arms" is among the lat
ter. Along with such fresh top
songs as Good Morning" it has no
less than six melodies written II
years ago. Judy Garland, who
started the reaching-into-t the-past
when she did You Made Me Love
You" in broadway Melody of 1898"
leads the musical f1ash-back with
Il Cried For You" Interesting is
the fact that II years ago it sold
100000 piano copies Recently re-
issued, it has disposed of 100000
copies in the first two months.

and Moonlight Bay"
Bing Crosby is delivering In My
Merry Oldsmobile," School Days"
and "Sunbonnet Sue along with

Maker" Film fans need only look
at recent films to see the big use
of past tune favorites, proof lying in
such movies as Irene and Vernon
Castle" "Alexander's Rag Time
Band" and Rose of Washington
Square" Even back farther hops
"Swanee River" which, being the
life of Stephen Foster harks back
to "Old Black Joe" songs.
