An Idle Threat
Cincinnati Enouirer)

Periodically there emerges an ambitious political figure who has some personal following and who magines he can bend the major parties to his will by threatening them with the organization of third party. Invariably, the two-party system goes on it's way, taking little notice of those who seek groupings by threat.
 It was so with Rev Charles Coughlin in 1886 It was so with many advocates of many panaceas before him. Even such great national figures with long political experience as Theodore Roosevelt and Robert M LaFollette were not able to make dent in the alignment of the parties.
 In this perspective the latest warning from John L. Lewis will not inspire very much dread in the ranks of major party leaders. To begin with, MT. Lewis is not shrewd politician. If he were he would have his personal feelings under better con- trol and base his campaigns something more than abuse of those high office-holders whom he does not like.
 The CIO leader makes his appeal to organized labor youth old age, the Negro, and farmers. If one could add up all the voters who fall into these cate gories the major parties would be sadly depleted. But even in organized labor MT Lewis could hope at the very best to sway only the half of it's number which is in his faction.
 Youth and old age important brackets when certain specific measures considered. But they are not blocs which be manipulated on nation wide scale. And no labor leader in American his tory has ever enjoyed any appreciabe influence with American farmers The narrowneSS of their view points shuts them off from the sympathy of the farm population before they even have time to for mulate a program of interest to rural voters.
 There are many brands of discomfort in America, involving great many persons. But any attempt to corral them and make political capital of them outside the two-party system is doomed to failure. Because this is obvious thirdparty gesture does not even have any potency as weapon of pressure against the major parties.

after all the fuss the Bureau report that dis aster states that due to compexity of conditions and the fact that than one explosion occurred it was virtually impossible to determine exactly where or how the explosion occurred" The report advances a number of theories as to the cause but finally decides nobody knows or is likely to know. In comments appended to the report the Chief of the Health and Safety Branch of the Bureau states that othe owners of the mine had probably gone farther in the taking of precautions against ex- plosion disasters than at least s9 percent of the coal mines of the United States
 Secretary Ickes is strong for the Nicely Bill calling for compulsory Federal inspection of coal mines which very likely might be good piece of legislation if the inspection power used fairly. How MT Ickes would use it, we only able to guess.
 Says the Secretary: While it is true that the Government through the Bureau of Mines is, under present law without authority to obtain the right of access to mines for Government inspectors en- gagged in protecting life unless mine owners volun- tariy grant that right that is no reason why such information as the Government does produce should be considered confidential The Bureau has been operating under the theory that it also did have the legal authority to make it's report on mine acc- dents public I do not agree with that theory and now with the Department Solicitors opinion that there is authority to publish have reversed the former procedure"
 The owners of the Bartley mine granted per- mission for the Government inspection. They were under the impression that the report on the ex- plosion would not be made public, for an opinion of Solicitor Margold said it couldn't be done Now MT Margold says it be done and Secretary Ickes has done it. All of which is pretty darned dubious.

ICKES GOES UNDERGROUND

Secretary Ickes Solicitor has just reversed him self In 1885 Solicitor Nathan R. Margod of the Department of the Interior rendered opinion that the Bureau of Mines not empowered to publish reports of individual mine disasters
 month ago this same gentleman reexamined his earlier opinion (at whose urgent request it is not difficult to imagine) and handed Secretary Ickes a new opinion maintaining just the opposite. This appears to be not too difficult feat for anyone working for MT Ickes
 news release from Une Department of the Interior even tells why Secretary Ickes took his action" and reversed previous procedure under which the Bureau of Mines followed practice of not making reports mine disasters and explosions public"
 He did it because he found that instructions which he previously had given the Bureau Of Mines were not being followed On May 10, 1888, he instructed the Bureau of Mines that the policy of the Department the Interior is to make offici- al information determined in the public interest available for public guidance promptly In con- nection with reports of mine explosions this policy must be followed. In instances this specific instruction has been disregarded
 This possibly uncovers for the dismiss sal several months ago of Dr. John w. Finch as Director of the Bureau of Mines Secretary Ickes explained the Directors resignation was demanded because he didn't have enough iron in his blood to run his bureau" If the Secretary thinks it was lack of iron which kept Director Finch from following his specific instruction" as to the pubi- cation mine disaster reports he forgets that there was an opinion of the Solicitor of MT. Ickes own Department specifically forbdding the publication of such reports. It takes more iron than most men have in their blood to do thing which it has been determined officially cannot be done legally. Not that Secretary Ickes doesn't have enough in such situations of course.
 The particular mine explosion which the Secre- tary was bent giving publicity was that in the Bartley No mine at Bartley, West Virginia on January TO- in which 91 men killed Ironically,

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compel"
TUESDAY, APRIL 16

TUESDAY, APRIL 16
 Benefic planets rule today AL though the morning plans fo1 building or other constructive work may be hampered by labor de- mands, the stars encourage accom- plishment. There is sign warn- ing of deceit and treachery in in- ternational affairs.
 Heart and Home: Women should be most fortunate today, for the stars presage happy romance as well as worth while achievement. Nasty marriages and engagements on short acquaintance will be marked in the next few months. Attire is to assume special signifi- canoe as girls put on uniforms for various branches of public service. Nursing and first aid will engage attention.
 Business Affairs: Prospecting for rare minerals will be carried on scientifically through the coming summer when there will be in- creased demand for products from the earth previously little known. Inventors will achieve marvels in sound transmission and the West will lead in the general use of tele- vision
 National Issues: Increase of crime with money as the motive is to present grave problems as men lose relief checks. Although many lines of industry will in crease the number of employees, the demand will continue to be for young men and young women. The effects of long idleness will be ap- parent among persons formerly ex- pert. In the national political cam paigns stress will be placed upon human betterment, but promises will be more general than practi- cal
 International Affairs: In the SullllleI Jllc WOl Ill lo OO llldhC OC- cisions that may lead to the down. fall of what is called civilization. The stars presage ultimate peace after February IS, 1941, when period of better understanding among the nations of the world will dawn. Before wars cease there will be widespread destruction of human life and property created by mems industry. The British Elm pire will undergo changes in which all Colonial and Dominion ties are weakened.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of good for tune. The young may feel that their elders hamper them but it is well to listen to the voice of ex- perience.
 Children born on this day may be strongly optimistic and helpful because of their cheerful disposi- tions. These subjects of Aries may have talent for music or acting.

Promptly the announcement came
that unfinished games would be
