election the Roosevelt name was
singularly ineffective. Wherever a
Roosevelt was conspicuous in the
campaign, the voters went heavily
in the other direction.
This was especially true in New
York, where Mrs. Roosevelt strongly
supported Senator Mead and ex-
Gov. Lehman, and in California
where her son, Jimmie, managed the
Democratic campaign of the CIO-
backed Will Rogers, jr. Clearly,
Elliott Roosevelt, who has advertised
himself very widely as the real
interpreter of his late fathers views
and authorized representative of his
policies, is not associated with his
mother and brother in the ADA.
His strongly prof. Russian slant would
seem to throw him in with Mr..
Wallace, the American Labor Party
and the Pea.
Actually, of course, if all the "true
liberals were united and under one
leadership, they still would be i'm
potent politically either to nominate
in either of the two old parties or
initiate formidable third one. Their
only political Importance is through
White House alliance and that they
no longer have. Their division now
into two bitter camps does not
greatly decrease their political
weight. It does make them more
ridiculous.

there is nothing in the contract pro-
viding for its possible termination
on March 81 next, but Mr.. Lewis,
under the pretext that his men will
not work except under contract,
regards ailnself as being above any
tattered ana worn piece of paper,
when it suits his purpose. More
over, the Silence of the Govern
ment, since Mr. Lewis issued this
latest ultimatum, might be regarded
as acquiescence in Mr.. Lewis right
to march his men out of the coal
pits again.
OF course, a strike on April /
would not be as serious as that for
which Mr.. Lewis called the signal
last November. Industry-the blast
furnaces, the railroads and the coal
using utilities-will continue to need
just as much coal next summer as
1t requires now, but the letup of the
demand for coal for home and other
space heating during the summer
would permit stockpiling against
the needs OF the winter of 1918

hiliments of Harold L. Ickes.
Government contract. The Gov
ernment permitted Mr.. Lewis to
crawl back into its comfortable bed
when his feet had become cold
standing on the bare floor.
Breach Between Operators.
Since Mr.. Lewis pronouncement
on December 7. there has been a
serious breach between the north
ern and the southern operators with
the result that Mr.. Lewis, even If he
wanted to, could not now work out
contract with negotiating COM
mittee representing the entire in
dustry. Perhaps sub rosa negotia-
tions are going on between the
United Mine Workers and the north
ern operators who are a much more
reasonable and humane minded
group than those from the South,
who, on prior occasions, have shown
themselves to be grudging and hard
masters of their employees.
Meanwhile, what is the Govern
ment doing? It should not be sat-
is6ed to twiddle its thumbs while
one day follows another and March
81 inexorably approaches. More
than 80 precious days have already
been lost and the speed of their
march will become accelerated as
the Headline approaches. OF course

generally hailed by all "outstand-
ing liberals" as "the outstanding
liberal of America" around whom
all true liberals" were sure to rally
in 1s48. Particularly was this the
view Of the publicity pundits OF the
CIO, whose idol he certainly was
approached only by the ebullient
Senator Claude Pepper.
But that isn't their view now-not
by a long shot. Privately, the things
members of the liberal group"
which organized in Washington last
week say about the outstanding
American liberal" would seem rough
coming from a reactionary. Nor are
they very restrained publicly. Their
Journalistic sympathizers and inter-
prefers now proclaim that Mr.. Wal
lace no longer amounts to much in
gressivism" (another favorite desig-
nation of liberal movement that
ton of liberal movementD; that
the founders of his new organiza-
ton known as the Progressive Citi-
zens of America could not be
elected dog catchers in their home
town" and are utterly without po-
litical influence.
Wallace Hits Luke Warm Liberals"
On his side, Mr.. Wallace has ex-
pressed deep adherence of what
he calls "luke-warm liberals" de-
claring that he would prefer to see
an "out-and-out reactionary" like
Senator Taft in public office than
one of them. And, of course, Mr..
Wallace's friends of the extreme,
not to say Communistic, left are
even more bitter and denunciatory
of the 'Jukewarm liberals" of the
Americans for Democratic Ac-
tion," which has publicly proclaimed
that it has no connection whatever
with Mr.. Wallace's Progressive
Citizens of America"
1t also makes it clear that SO far
as ADA is concerned, Communists
are not only not welcome but are
distinctly barred. They will not per-
NIT a Communist to come within
smelling distance of their organiza-
ton. There Is no such barrier or
attitude in Mr.. Wallace's Pea. Fell
low travellers, apparently, are not
barred, either by name or in fact.
, AS for the CIO, it has solved the
problem of a split in the liberal
movement" by splitting itself. Thus,
the unctuous Mr.. Philip Murray
Is one of the vice presidents of
Mr.. Wallaee's Pea, while the loud
mouthed young head of the United
Automobile Workers. Walter Reu-
ther, is one of the organizers of the
ADA. This can be called carrying
water on both shoulders" or play
ing both sides of the street" or a
number of other things.
What 1t undoubtedly does is lend
some substance to the charge that
while to many the division in the
liberal movement is sincere and
real, with others it is essentially
phony. AS to which faction is the
stronger, there is no way to make
test. 1t will be a publicity battle be-
tween them and that is all
On neither side is there any one
able to deliver anything politically.
The Pea obviously intends to drape
itself around Mr.. Wallace and ride
on his prestige. But that has great
ly diminished among liberals" and
the Wallace effort to keep in the
news inevitably will get less and not
more successful.
Roosevelt Effectiveness Reduced.
On the other hand, the ADA, with
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt and her son,
Franklin, jr., as founders, expects to
capitalize on the Roosevelt name
and policies. The prospects for this
are poor. Certainly in the last

Valuable Time Lost.
The Government took the mines
over when it should Lot have done
So The Krug-Lewls contract was
not a good one. The Govern nent
has permitted John L. Lewis to
cuddle up to it after he had as
serted the right to preach this con-
tract. The Government has lost
valuable time but no more should
be lost. Before this ii should have
brought together the operators, both
northern and southern, into a con-
ference room with John L. Lewis to
negotiate a new contract.
The Government should get more
natural gas into the big pipelines as
quickly as possible. It should dc
whatever might be necessary for the
transportation Of ihat gas across
the State of Pennsylvania. In the
event of another strike, the Gov
ernment should be prepared in
stantly to take over and operate the
strip mines of the country.
On several occasions I have
pointed out the feasibility of strip
mining as an effective counterattack
when John L. Lewis strikes the
mines. Others have advocated this
idea as though it were their own.
If the Government is not ready to
throw in the Army engineers or
the Seabees. with the equipment
that surely is available, to operate
the strip mines in the event of an
other emergency, it should be get

have visited dozens of shops along
Chartres and Royal streets and
their tributaries. making as many
purchases as my wary wallet would
allow. Unless my money soon runs
out or some friend places a restrain
ing hand on my shoulder, my house
won't be safe to live in. Everything
in it will be so old. so fragile, so
about-to-give-up- the ghost that the
house will be condemned by the
city building inspector as unsafe
for human habitation.
Danger-Don't Sit!
For example. under the compell-
ing talk of one dealer in antiques,
I purchased and had shipped home
two chairs. There isn't a chair in
Sing Sing as dangerous as either
one of them. The dealer said they
were part of the barricade during
the Battle of New Orleans, but I
believe he was fibbing-they must be
older than that. One of them has
to use crutch to keep upright and
the other just doesn't make any
pretense Of standing up. It sits
down on the floor, and any attempt
to straighten it up is greeted with a
feeble groan Of protest. I am now
shopping for two antique signs read
ing 'Danger-Don't Sit on These
Chairs" to hang on them when
I get home.
I was instructed to bring home a
bell for the dining room table. We
already have a big, solid-chromium
number that really goes to town
when you shake it, and lets the
cook know that we are starving and
to hurry up with second helpings,
but it seems that that is just what
we don't want. 1t works too we'll.
So, with a dealer at my side, pouring
words Of wisdom into my ear, I pur-
chased beauty of a bell. The deal
er told me that it once hung around
the neck of a cat owned by French
duke and dated back to 1719. 1t is
of beaten silver, and looks it. Only
one thing makes me distrust it. 1t
hasn't any clapper. and you can
shake it until you get tennis-elbow
without making any sound. Guess
I'll have to buy a modern police
whistle to go with it.
Jean Lafitte's Beer Mug.
But the watering can is the gem
of nv purchases. We have good,
old-fashioned, galvanized iron one,
which holds five or six gallons and
is guaranteed to give every blossom
rousing shower bath, but it will
have to. take second place to the
one got on Royal street. Tt Is a
copper fellow, and legend has 1t
that the pirate, Jean Lafitte. once
used it as a beer mug. That, OF
course, was when it had a bottom
in 1t. The dealer told me that the
real value of the wates ing pot lay in
the fact that age had eaten out its
bottom. 1t wouldn't hold a bundled
UP shirt, much less water. Just
how I am going to use it on the
flowers remains to be seen. I
imagine, though, that I will have to
supplement it with a hose.
Another dealer tried to sell me a
rug, but he wanted too much for
the holes that were In 1t, aid I re-
sisted the temptation to buy bed
that had only one leg, despite The
TACT that its history says that An
drew Jackson's horse once slept
in 1t.
Oh, well, maybe I can use my rur-
chases on April Fools Day. I'll get
some friends to sit in one of he
chairs, hold the watering can with
no bottom and try to ring the bell
with no clapper. That1l make a
