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 it 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 a guess as to the far
reaching consequences. On the 9TH
er hand, a 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 'finis"
for his long career as labor lead
er. Even with his ability to shake
his bushy hair and wrinkle his bee
tied eyebrows and evolve the most
biting of all language into a descrip-
ton of his enemies, even with this
capacity and a million or so work
ers paying him dues, John Lewis is
through as a political influence in
behalf of organized labor.
1t 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 will get newspa-
pers to print his statements. What
I 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 Violent Blast at Garner
Wrecks Influence as Labor Leader
Resentment Spreads Quickly and Things Begin Happen;
Reaction in House Labor Committee Is Immediate;

taken resolution condemning Lew
is and expressing the deep resent
ment and indignation" at his bitter,
personal attack" upon the vice pres
ident. There was talk around the
house and senate later about a prop
osition to bar Lewis from any fur
ther appearance before congression-
al committee hearings but that fad
ed away. Nevertheless, my guess
at this stage is that if and when
Lewis does appear before any con-
gressional committee again, he will
be subjected to grilling that will
tan him to deep brown.
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
jack could have had no better
break, politically. That is to say,
an attack by Lewis, who led the sit
down strikers and who has been tied
IN like a hand in glove with GER
tain of the radical elements, could
not fail to swerve voting support
behind Garner. Most of the politi-
clans know now that the c. I. o. is
a crumbling and disintegrating mass
of badly led workers. Throughout the
rural areas and in the small towns,
he has hurt the cause of union labor

Reaction Comes Quickly
In House Labor Committee

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
ward with legislation amending the
federal wages and hours law -
amendments to which Lewis was
violently opposed. True, there was
no member of the committee had
the CUTS to give Lewis ca1l-down
In the hearing, but they did vote to
send the legislation to the floor for
debate and, In effect, tell Lewis to
take his marbles andsgo 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, year ago, Lewis
walked into the Office of Speaker
Bankhead of the house, and an
nounced what the house must do
about some labor legislation. Mr..
Bankhead, a thoroughly level-head-
ed Democrat from the deep South,
fixed things right up for the labor
leader-to make sure that Lewis
would lose out. One would think
that Lewis would have learned his
lesson from the dictatorial AFRO
gance he displayed on that occa-
sion, but he came back for more.
Perhaps, the circumstances of the
Lewis statement should be related
to give a clear picture of the con-
sequences that seem certain to flow
from his personal attack on Mr..
Garner. The house committee in
vited Lewis to appear as a wit
ness to give the c. I. O. views on
the amendments that were pro-
posed. Lewis spent few minutes
in discussing the text of the amend
ments and then launched into a sour
puss TRADE about the Democratic
party. He asserted that the party,
after having accepted labor's gifts
c. I. o. having supported President
Roosevelt with money and men In
both presidential campaigns-had
now turned out as a traitor He
argued that he never had looked
for help from most Of the Republi-
cans but had believed the Demo
Gratis would stick by him and his
dues-paying workers.
But through the last year or more,
however, Lewis found someone in
the Democratic party who was
searching for the heart of labor"
and that individual, he shouted in
red-faced anger, is "a labor-baiting,
poker-playing, whiskey-drinking, evil
old man, named Garner" The vice
president was the genesis of a
great campaign against labor, so

NEW YORK.-In view of Miss
' Alice Marbles recent arrival
here after successful exploits at
Wimbledon and elsewhere, it would
Gift Kept Tennis seem .ia' as ele
Champ From citation of John
P.A.Ur Mccormack,
the EN- in e {
Irish tenor, with the fair Wimble-
don and United States national title
holder IN London as a singing teach
er was someone's flight of fancy.
Miss Marble, as may be recalled,
made her debut as night club SOLO
list last winter, and, after the cur
rent tennis season is over, she will
go to Hollywood to make a motion
picture-provided the entrepreneur
with whom she has signed is able
to place her to advantage.
The first woman to hold three
Wimbledon and three American
titles at one and the same time,
designer of sports clothes, sing
er, potential actress, Miss Mar
ble's versatility is not confined
to these things. She could, if
she had MOTTO her expressed
regret-g0t beyond such things,
play softban baseball with facil-
ity equal to that of most men.
Also proficient in basketball as
a member of the Polytechnic
high, San Francisco, team, she
was likewise a track athlete of
no small ability. And, before
that, sandlot football with her
brothers and other boys claimed
her enthusiasm. As a six-year-
old she started playing hard
ball baseball with younger
brother, Harry Tim Marble,
who later joined the Pacific
Coast League Missions team as
shortstop.
It is said that Marble Pere,
farmer IN Plumas county, Calf,
at one time doubted whether he ever
could wean the girl from baseball
bat which she swung on clubs other
wise composed of male players. But
the gift of tennis racquet at the
age of Is and subtle encouragements
turned her thoughts to tennis. This
happened when, in lieu of career
as a ball player, she had become
the official mascot of the San Fran
cisco Seals of the Pacific Coast
League.
Blonde, statuesque, with gray
eyes, gracious IN manner as she is
in appearance lovely, Miss Marble
won much favor wherever she went
abroad.

ceeded admirably in rendering his
role.
He is passionately devoted to
the cause of world peace
through the World Peace fed
Grafton, which he himself or
ganized-it now has branches
throughout the civilized world.
His advocacy of peaceful adjust
ment of international issues re-
suited from experience in the
World war, in which he served
as a lad of II, winning two
medals for gallantry. Entering
the war to avenge the death in
action of beloved older broth
er, he found his age no bar to
service. He asserts, indeed,
that, at the time of his enlist
ment, the Czechs had boys who
were but eight years old under
arms.
His biography opens at Prague.
where, at 18, he was playing walk
on parts at the Deutches Landes
theater-a soldier IN ''Lohengrin, a
servant in social comedy, anything,
everything, of extremely subordi-
nate character. Gaining a rather
important speaking part through
ability displayed IN reading the lines
of an indisposed actor, he subse-
quently received a scholarship in
the Academy of Dramatic Art in
Prague He then went to Breslau,
where Kaethe Dorsch, the German
actress, discovered him and intro
duced him to the Berlin theater,
where he became overnight the
adored of feminine Berlin.
He married Ada Nejedly, an opera
singer In Prague in 1928, from
whom subsequently he was di-
vorced. Two years ago, he mar
ried "Margo," Margarita Balando,
stage and screen dancer. He is
tail and slight, his features extreme
ly delicate, eyes soulful In his
reading, he is addicted to the Ger
man philosophers and the French
classics.
