ANTI,STRIKE BILL
PUT PRESIDENT
F.D.R. ON SPOT
CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND AD-
vIsERs PROBABLY DEcID-
ED ACT WOULD ALLEVIATE
LABOR. sTINNETr WRITES
By JACK sTINNETT
Az Features Writer

4 NAoLllANNAAOANs July -
When the Connally- Smith anti
strike legislation was laid on the
Presidents desk, Mr.. Roosevelt
was ''on the spot as he has been
few times before in the 10 years
he has been in the White House.
| There were only three posi-
bilities:
I'D To veto the measure:
~ To sign il:
~ To allow il to become law
after ten days. without sigma
ture.
For all practical and political
purposes. the last two could be
grouped together. with the split
. hair exception that in the latter
case the President would be
lodging the issue by allowing
to become a law a bill for which
ne had no enthusiasm.
Alienation Of Labor
The President and his advis
,erS must have seen that signing
the bill would ALLEVIATE labor.
The A F. of L. through William
Green and the c. l. o. through
Philip Murray protested II and
appealed for veto.
A number of other independ-
ent unions joined in the parade.
To antagonize this great bloc
of voters mean to jeOpardiZe the
fourth term or at least control
of the 1914 ballots TO such an
extent that all the Presidents
plans for prosecution of the war
OF PRONUNCIATION of the Fout
Freedoms peace might be side
tracked in a new and hoStile
administration.
On the other hand. veto of III
bill meant that il would be iui-
mediately interpreted politically
as a fourth term bid. Common
tators would figure that the
President was afraid of labor
Other Factors
To veto the measure meant
several things more.
II meant alienation of the
votes in the purely agricultural
states (many of them in the
South and Southwest, where pO-
litical wounds are just now be-
ing healed); and going against
the expressed opinions of many
youngsters in the services.
Some of the boys IN uniform
have publicly expressed diSsatis-
faction with the attitude of la
Dor They think that something
must be done TO curb strikes
that interfere with the flow of
vital war materials.
Furthermore. TO veto the bill
OF sign il meant to play right
into the hands of some of the
more politically-minde MEM
bers of Congress. If they had
any sense OF humOr left about
the very unfunny spot they
were placed in. the President
and his advisers must have got
ten a chuckle out of scanning
the names of 100 Democrats and
l3l Republicans who voted for
the bill in the House and the g.
Senators who cast their yeas .
Here were friends and foes alike
and among the foes a good many
who must have had wicked
CLINT in their eyes and a How
are you going TO wriggle out OF
this, Mr.. President, on their
tongues.
Whether you are Republican
or Democrat, pro or anti-New
Deal. YOU might we'll give a mo-
ment TO plying the poor PreSi-
dent IN a spot like that

The significance Of Sen Byrd's
bitter comment that the preSi-
DENTAL veto was not the act Of

later bearing on the subsidy

IN favor Of the President.
Chief bcneficiarieS of the sub

strength Of the labor unions. The
