Entire Labor Setup
Studied by President
For Possible Revision

The request Of three public men,
bers to be relieved from their duties
on the War Labor Board has caused
President Roosevelt to start looking
at the entire labor setup In the
Government.
Telling his news conference yes
terday that he did not know when
there would be any action on the
proposed designations of Chairman
William H. Davis, Vice Chairman
George w. Taylor and DR.. Frank P.
Graham, Mr.. Roosevelt explained
that he was considering the mat
ter and In response to another
question he said there were one
or two other groups under study
along with the WLB.
There has been a suggestion that
the President might reconstitute
the board, which now Is q tri-
partite agency with labor, industry
and the public represented by -four
members each. The alternative
would be to fill the three prospec-
tive vacancies.
Another labor problem has beer
posed for the President by the
resignation of DR.. John r. Steel

Work Of D. {. Artists
|Af National Museum
Draws Wide Attention

The exhibition, resulting from the
Seventh Metropolitan State Art
Contest. held under the auspices OF
the District Chapter OF the American
Artists Professional League, on view
until November %. in the foyer of
the National Museum, Constitution
avenue at Tenth street NV, is at
tracing much attention.
Eleven cash prizes have been
given by The Star and the mer-
chants OF Washington to stimulate
interest and effort on the part OF
the artists.

painting In water colors and oils,
drawings and prints In several
media, sculpture and crafts, such as
metal work, illuminating, etc.
In 1t 12l artists are represented.
all Of whom are from Washington
and vicinity. OF these more than
one-half are as yet comparative
strangers to exhibition here. This
is regarded as an indication OF
healthy development and outreach-
ing influence. In many instances
the contributing artists are repre-
sented by two or even three works
each, the total number OF works
shown and catalogued amounting
to more than 23O.
The strongest showing, It has been
pointed out, Is In water color and oil
painting. The subject matter en-
ployed covers q wide range, ap-
parently, however, having been
chosen because Of some direct and
personal appeal. There are land
scapes, country scenes, city pictures,
flowers. still life, interiors. portraits,
the majority broadly and skillfully
rendered. and with apparent glee.
The painters are being warmly
congratulated and the prospect for
sales Is good. The majority of these
works are, in the opinion OF critics,
very representative and desirable
possessions-"windows opening on
beautiful world"-even in wartime,
as one expressed 1t.
The jury of awards consisted OF
Macgill James, assistant director OF
the National Gallery Of Art; Mrs.
Florence Lloyd Homan, Baltimore,
national director, American Artists
Professional League, and Everett
Warner. artist, one time art writer
for The Star. Mrs. M. c. Trow-
