his death, leaving the Office vacant
gave rise to quite a stir in the
town. Immediately there arose &
number of contestants for the posi-
ton. It seems that one of the big
gest factors in deciding the winner
would be the priority in reaching
Washington City with the applica-
ton.
In those days there was still nc
direct travel by coach between Ha-
gerstown and Washington, but the
trip had to be made by horseback
So each of the contestants mounted
his horse and headed for the Federal
City, that is, all of them except
Daniel H. Schnebly. Mr.. Schnebly
sought the help of the expert horse
man, Jacob Yeakle. Mr.. Yeakle
agreed to ride on the mission for
Schnebly, and set out after the
others had a good start. But he
overlook them on the banks of the
Monocacy, just past Frederick Town,
where they were waiting for fer
ry. Mr.. Yeakle plunged his horse
into the water, swan him across, and
rode on into Washington, the first
one to arrive. And he was success
full securing the appointment for
Mr. Schnebly.
In those days there had sprung
up among the people of this section
the custom of nicknaming people for
the type of trade they engaged in,
or for some peculiar or unusual
personal habit. This reminds me
of some names l have known, such
as the addition of terms like win
dy" to mans first name, which be-
came the accepted way of designat-
ing one man, where there happened
to be two men by the same name.
And another one grew so many po-
tatoeS that ne became known as
''Tater" Martin, and is still often
referred to in that way, and even
addressed so.
Back in those days another man
drove a two-horse team and did all
kinds of general hauling over town.
But he had habit of talking in a
loud and rapid manner, and was
soon dubbed "Dopple Miller, which
is Undoubtedly from the Pennsyl-
vania Dutch expression, and he was
from then on known by that name.
And, unfortunately, there was a
man who appropriated some bacon
not legitimately his own" and he was
ever afterwards known as "Speck
Martin"

them at the C1O convention In
November.
Mr.. Halls answers to such hard
facts are reminiscent of the Com
munist patter. For example:
Why Robson? Well, nobody
else would come. Did you ever
ask anybody else? No.
Why pick as your lawyer the
one who admitted Communists
choose to defend them? No other
lawyer would touch our case. Did
you ask any New Deal or labor
lawyers for help or counsel? No.
Are you a Communist? AS a
matter Of principle, won't an
swer that. Were you ever a Com
munist? I won't answer that,
either.
If America went to war, would
you fight for it? would fight
for America If it were attacked.
(This is standard Communist
language. Russia, of course, is
never an aggreSsor.)
Success Conceded.
Mr.. Hall seems to take it for
granted that the CIO will expel
the nWU. He merely shrugs
when reminded that this will
clinch in United States opinion
the suspicious already attached
to his union. Hawaiian locals will
send two delegates to the CIO
convention, he said, who will be
free to use their own judgment" "
This, Of course, puts them in Mr..
Bridges hands.
MIR. Halls success as a union
leader is conceded. He says that
the union has raised the steve
doring wage rate from % cents an
hour to $1.40. It is $1.82 in the
uWU West Coast contracts; Mr.
Hall is asking now for $1.72 here
to narrow the gap" He refuses
to discuss comparative living con-
ditions, but puts it on the ground
Of improving the social and eco
nomic status" of the Hawaiian
worker. It does not appear that
the workers trust any one else
to make the same attempt, hence
the union strength.

the agency would open the way
for what special interests term
"a more favorable atmosphere" in
the commission.
The electric utilities do not like
Mr.. Olds because he has been too
aware Of the public interest. He
spoke out, as did other members
Of the commission, when the
utilities tried to put through
amendments to the 1920 Water
power Act in the 80th Congress
which would have crippled the
FPC in fixing fair rates to the
consumer.
Leland Olds' confirmation is in
serious danger because Of the
power of oil and utilities in Con-
gress. After four months delay
public hearings on his nomination
now have been scheduled, though
this seems a meaningless pro-
cedure and merely another dila-
tory tactic since his record is well
known and his qualifications have
been examined for two previous
appointments to the commission.
Active Against Carson.
The utilities. as well as other
special interests, also were active
against confirmation Of John
Carson, ex-newspaperman, gov
ernment official and executive
secretary of the Cooperative
League Of America. to the va
cancy on another regulatory
agency, the Federal Trade Com
mission established in 1914 to
protect honest business and the
consumer by preventing unfair
trade practices and monopoly.
It was brought out in Senate
debate that utilities had contrib
uted to the National Tax Equal
ity Association, which is fighting
co-operatives and which directed
the battle against the Carson
nomination, because Of utility an.

Plans are under way for devalu-
alton of the Deutsche mark ir
Western Germany, where the
problem is complicated by the fact
that the currency is one supported
by the three Western occupation
powers.
The care with which the Amer
ican negotiators approached the
question of devaluation before and
during the recent conferences
here suggests both the hopes and
the fears in the American Gov
ernment as to what may be the
final result.
Tacit Encouragement.
If there was no actual official
encouragement on the American
side for the British to devalue
their currency, there has been at
least a sympathetic acquiescence
which was tacit encouragement If
nothing else for the action.
Behind this acquiescence lies a
theory Of aid to Britain which
may or may not prove to be valid.
This. in brief, is that 1t will be
cheaper for the United States to
help Britain survive as q strong
power by permitting her to draw
on the American market, In direct
competition with American goods,
than to have to continue making
direct grants-in-aid.
The Marshall Plan is. scheduled
to end in 1852. American deter
mination to end it then is ap-
parent. It has been proclaimed
not only the length and breadth
of this country, but it has been
stated bluntly and directly to the
British themselves. They know
and they have known for some
tilne-that when 1852 rolls around
American appropriations Of direct
support money are going to end.
The American taxpayer is crying
for relief from terrific burdens.
Congress and the administration
both know this well. One Of the
hot election issues In 1852 may

ment does for the average citizen
is Socialism" but what they can
get it to do to protect their pri-
vate interests, at the expense OF
the public, is Sound democratic
government" It's all in the point
Of view.
One Of such interests is oil, still
mighty in politics. Oil is behind

House, now pending before the

lished in 1880, so-called arms

wrinkle.
Oil Overl00ks Nothing.
But it is not enough to put
over this bill which would cost
consumers of natural gas millions
annually in increased prices. OIL
like other special interests, over
looks nothing, With the electric
utilities, it is fighting confirmation

pointed him four months ago.

This Changing World
Chain Reaction on Devaluation Raises
Both Hopes and Fears Among American

which convenes in January. 1858
will be extremely difficult.
Devaluation is a gamble any
way you look at it. The American
Government is gambling in going
along with it, for we do not know
and cannot know for some time
what the full effect on us is
going to be.
The British government is gam
bling on two things: First, that
domestic costs of production can
be held down to their present level
so that the price at which prod
ucts can be marketed in the dol
lar area will be competitive with
dollar area products. And. Sec
ond, that there will be sufficient
devaluation outside Of Britain SO
that the overall cost of raw ma
terials will not go up anywhere
near in proportion to the amount
OF the devaluation.
Whether the price-wage level
in Britain can be kept at its pres
ent position is highly problemati-
cal. Sir Stafford Cripps returned
home to a hot domestic labor stu
alton which can break out into
an all-around demand for in
creased wages which, If granted,
would take away all the benefit
Britain hopes to gain from de-
valuation. Yet, if the demands
are not granted, 1t means that
the British workingman-in fact
everybody who works for wages
or salary in Britain-will pay in
reduced standard of living for the
battle of the dollar.
Effect on Materials Cost.
AS for the cost of raw materials,
which is a major factor in Brit
aims production costs, the effect
of devaluation will vary. Those
materials which are purchased
from the dollar area will go up in
price in proportion to the devalu-
alton. Those which are purchased
outside the dollar area-in coun-
tries which also have devalued,
perhaps-will not rise in cost
too much.
This whole economic drama is
a frantic search for that equilib-
rum which will permit European
countries-and particularly Brit
ain-to support themselves and
which will remove the necessity
for further American grants out
Of the taxpayers pockets. Nobody
knows for sure where that point
of stability lies. Everything that
is being done now is experimental.
There is no formula by which we
arrive at a final statement of what
is or is not necessary.
What we do know is that the
Western nations and the rest of
the non Communist nations which
are associated with them must
discover the means by which they
can live together in prosperity and
happiness. If the scales have been
weighted against certain countries
and In favor Of others in the past,
the present chain reaction of de-
valuation Is going to change it.
When we have lived in the new
situation six months or a year we
will be better able to determine
where we go from there.
