be but I'll tell you what
Mother Rothschild bld-she
opened the contract at five dia-
monds. East bid five spades.
which South promptly doubled.
West then bid six hearts, and
when this got around TO South,
it was doubled.
In the play Of the hand, East
and West had TO lose spade.
two hearts. one diamond and
club-down four. OF course
Mother" Rothschlld could not
have made her bid OF five dia-
monds, as she would have to
lose two clubs and a diamond.
Freak hands Of this type are
dealt only occasionally and IT is
always problem TO know Just
how 10 handle them.
About all can say is, bid as
the mood suits you and hope for
good luck. II East held the

lack, and one more trump and
one spade fewer and the ace OF
spades instead Of the king
queen. Jack then the contract
might have been made.

The obvious items of signifi-

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

An attempt has been made TO
build up case of political signl-
ficance from this move, by CON
Guiding that Lewis, opposing
Roosevelt, might try TO swing
the A. +. of l. into the Repub-
lican lineup. Some A. F Of l..
labor leaders lean that way now,

years.
With regard TO this second
point, ii has been generally for
gotten that the tremendously
strong Machinists' Union has
signified its desire TO Withdraw
from the A. F. of L. and is now
conducting a poll Of its member
ship on this question. The poll
will be completed within the
next few weeks. While the re-
suit is problematical, the under
lying reason for the machlnlsts'
desire TO withdraw has been dis
satisfaction with the leadership
in other A +. Of l.. unions and
the questionable policies which
they have countenanced and en-
couraged. New blood in the A.

and a dominant leadership such
as Lewis might contribute, could

MANY LOYAL TO LEWIS
Warfare between Lewis--with
the A. F of l.. at his back-and
the c. | O. may become OK
tremely bitter Some few labor
leaders will even go so far as to
say that the reunion of Lewis
with the A. F. of l. Will mark
the end Of the c. |. 0. That is
doubtful.
What is not generally known
however, is that within the {
O. leadership there is a
strong element which is still
loyal to John l.. Lewis, the man
who founded their movement
and set them up in business. Inc
older leaders in the u A. w
have not forgotten that 1t was
Lewis who won them their orl-
