Browder Assai|s Lewis
On Mine Strike Issue
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, May 8.-Earl Browder.
Communist party leader in the
United States, last night asserted
John L. Lewis, through the recent
mine strike, has challenged labor's
responsibility for the most efficient
conduct of the war until victory Is
won.
ANY conditional form of the no.
strike policy means to turn the labor
movement against its own war, to
loose an explosion of class struggles
in America which will ruin the war
effort with disaster for America
and American labor" he told pub
lie mass meeting
The foundation of the no-strike
policy is the conversion of peace
time economy to a wartime econ
omy, under governmental control
planning and administration, with
full employment of men and ma
chimes, and the rapid expansion of
production" Mr. Browder said.
1T is not the slightest use to COM
plain of the shortcomings of gov
ernment leadership in this respect
until labor puts it's own house in
order. And labor will be unable to
give leadership until it settles &C
counts decisively with Lewis :. and
moves into the real fight to unite
its own ranks"

Will Bring Victory,
Herbert Hoover Says

Chosen Director of
Boys Club Of America
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. May 8.-Former
President Herbert Hoover declared
last night in praising the courage
of American youth on the war fronts
that "the war will be won by the
uch-defamed rugged individualist."
In an address at the Boys Club
of America dinner. Mr.. Hoover said:
The. war is making it possible to
reappraise somewhat the American
boy. Judging from the literature of
few years ago, we might conclude
that he was not so good as his dad
More idle time, more candy, less
chores, less family discipline-all
were supposed to have softened him
up
Physical Condition Better.
This war has disclosed, however.
Mr.. Hoover said, that youth has q
generally higher physical level than
the genera tions of the last war,
adding:
The new drink is milk The edu-
cational rating is much higher. The
individual initiative is better. The
boys sing less, but they are more
serious and more determined. They
are thinking more deeply. And these
American boys today are showing
extraordinary endurance in hardship
and magnificent courage in battle
Our boys have already demon
strated their ascendency, man for
man. over the boys of every enemy
country. They have demonstrated
far greater initiative and courage.
Our boys are the product Of de-
mocracy. They have never been
regimented. They are individual
ist."

1t Gen. Thomas Holcomb, COM
mandant of the Marine Corps, de-
clared that cit isn't the staggering
bully that makes the great fighter.
It's the man with character, dis
cipline and training"
Mr.. Hoover was reelected chair
man of the board and William
Edwin Hall of New York was re-
elected president.
Among four new directors elected
was Charles Fyfe of Washington.

Federal Operation

Inefficieney Charge

The Governments operation of

Holly Stover, Federal manager of
the railroad.
The Government took over op-
Grafton Of the company in March,
1912, following a labor controversy
between employees and George P.
McNear. ir., president of the road.
Testifying recently on labor and
manpower bills before the commit
tee, Mr.. McNear had charged the
Government with inefficient opera
tion of the railroad and accused the
ODT of permitting 'featherbed-
ding" the employment of unneces-
sary workers.
Mr.. Eastman told the committee
the railroad had been operated eco
nomically and efficiently under Gov
eminent control and had discour-
aged labor wasting practices.
Mr.. Stover, vice president of the
Gulf. Mobile & Western Railroad,
accused Mr.. McNear of having
launched "a general smear cam
paign."
Asked by Representative Clason,
Republican. of Massachusetts
whether he believed it would be
wise for the Government to take
over control of all railroads in view
of its experience with the T., P. &
w. Mr.. Eastman replied:
Il certainly do not. l don't want
the job
Mr.. Eastman told the committee
he believed railroads would be able
to meet their increasing manpower
needs. but would have to resort to
the employment of more women.
Allegations of large wastes
through "featherbedding," he said,
ARE not true"
It hold no brief for railroad la
bor,' he continued. but I think
there is a gross exaggeration in the
criticisms"

Meat Surplus in Sight,
New Worry for Jones
By PAUL MALLON

WASHINGTON, July 10
" From a -deartA, we seem
about to hop into an overabun-
dance of meat on butchers
hooks.
The first arrivals of large
quantities of beef cattle in.Chi-
cago and ST. Louis this week
herald a period of heavy farm
marketing of beef similar to
that which has developed in
hogS-and for the same reason.
Mhen a steer. lamb or hog be-
comes fat, there is only one
place for him, the market.
With more livestock in the

THE FCC-CoN dispute has de-
Il yolYed into a Straight-out
hberal-conservative fight. as al
most everything does here
sooner or later.
In the political argument, the
merit of facts on either side, as
usual. has become lost.
Consistently, the news ac-
counts carry. for instance. an
implication that Chairman Cox
of the House investigation COM
mittee accepted a $500 fee
from a local radio station in his
district for appearing before
the FEC in its behalf.
This would be a violation Of
federal law.
If this is true. Mr. Cox should
have been indicted and tried
long ago, as the charge is nearly
a year old
His explanation (Which is not
clear and is seldom published
alongside the charged is that he
took the amount in stock and
turned 1t over 10 a charity and
that the payment was not for
legal services for A government
department anyway.
What is more important than
either the charge or the eNplana-
ton is that the justice depart
ment completely controlled by
liberals) has never made move
TO indict Cox.
The defending New Deal lib
erals seem content TO relterate
II day after day, 10 muSs up
and embarrass the House inves-
tigation of FEC.
The investigation seems TO
have a fairly good case against
that frequently hot-headed
agency, but the case is likely
to be smothered by the embar-
