ITAI1 GERMAN ATHLETICISM SEEN-- " HEARD round th National Capital By CARTER HllOSSi -- Holding back a threat-site- Washington. epidemic of strikes utitll union labor leaders can get what they want in Washington in the way of legislation is proving a difficult task for William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, and his lieutenants. In Akron the rubber company employees are chafing at the bit So It Is In a hundred other lines. John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, had less difficulty with his onion. Be wants, as Green does, to bold back the strikes, but he set the obrious goal of June 10, which Is the date the law creating till A expires. Green, Lewis, and all their friends here have the same object. If the administration proves too lukewarm on the things they want, they can lay the pending strike situation on the Tresldenc White House doorstep. Roosevelt will then be faced with the apparent alternative of giving In, or of precipitating so many strikes that a terrific blow will be dealt returning prosperity. The Importance of this to the President can be realized only by examining the political prospects. Next year the President, all of the house, and a third of the senate come up for reelection. In short, the New Deal goes on trial before the country. Already there Is the serious threat of a third party, growing out of the doctrines being preached over the radio by Iluey Long, Father Coughlin, etc. The President Is perfectly familiar with this, but relies on attracting enough conservatives to bis own support to win, and win easily. But attracting these conservatives Is a precarious undertaking. The old line Republicans do not think he can do It That Is why they have been sprucing up lately. The only question to date has been: will the radicals scare the conservatives enough to turn them to Itoosevelt for safety? One answer to this question Is: not unless Itoosevelt shows the country that be Is really leading It back to Otherwise the conservaprosperity. tives would not put their trust In him, but would rely on voting for some Republican. Which would mean that the radicals, withdrawing so much of Roosevelt's support, would seriously Jeopardize Roosevelt's chances. d Economic Menace that the threat of a strike So epi- demic la more than an economic men ace. It la a political bugnboo of darkest shade. And no one better than P. D. It. appreciates It Which explains why shrewd observers In Washington are not writing off the Wagner labor relations bill as sure to die why they are not certain the week bill will not be (say at 30 or 38 hours), and why there Is so much uncertainty about NRA. Union labor officials would rather have the Wagner bill than a continuance of NRA. Down In their hearts, but most confidentially, they would far rather have the Wagner bill than the week even without compromise. The answer to both Is simple, but you cannot confirm the second In public. As to preferring the Wagner bill to NRA, the Wagner bill would be As to prepermanent legislation. week, the ferring It to the Wagner measure leaves more to be done by. union officials, whereas the 80 hour week leaves less appeal to unorganized workers to Jolu labor unions and begin paying dues. NRA and the week together move directly toward an ultimate goal which would sharply curtail the power, Influence, need for perquisites of union labor leaders. The government would step In and perform most of their functions. It would gain for the workers what the unions now have to fight with private Industry to attain. And union labor leaders are very human. They like their Jobs and their power, and want to keep them. 80-ho- 80-ho- 30-ho- 30-ho- Hits Export Trade Great Britain's highly successful drive to compel Poland and other European countries to uy more British goods. If Britain Is going' to continue buying theirs, has played hob with prospects for American export trade. " So has Italy's setting up of an called the National Institute for Foreign Trade which Is to handle all ' Imports aud exports for that v country. This government will beyond doubt denounce its commercial treaties with Italy, Portugal, Denmark and Poland in the near, future. Secretary of State (2ordell null, father of reciprocal trade agreements as a means of lowering economic barriers, has been reluctantly forced to this position. The action would have been taken already had It not been for the dellcato situation In Europe caused by all the war talk. There: Is no real hope that any negotiations short f the strong arm methods of treaty denunciation will lead to results. One of the effects of discriminations against American goods In Europe has been to boost rhe stock of George N.

As sbonio rhe wheels within wheels, this Chrysler situation lrju$at Interesting. Chrysler feas enjoyed a very profitable market la Poland, selling many American .cars there. Now l'o land, under pressure from Great Britain, has Instituted a quota system, which will cut auto Imports from America to the bone. But this does not hurt General Motors, or Ford, anything like as much. Both have factories in European countries, which are not hurt by the quota. American Labor Loses But every General Motors car soli In most European countries. Instead of a Chrysler, deprives American workmen of 'Just so much labor. For example, la Its factory In Belgium, General Motors, building the Opel car, uses European made motors and European made tires. Whereas the Chrysler plant in Antwerp Is really more a warehouse than a factory. All American parts are used. Moreover, the purchase of European made parts Is not alL The reciprocal treaty with Belgium provides for a much greater reduction in the tariff on parts than the tariff .on cars. But the Italian situation is even more serious. Within a few weeks her new restrictions will bar all American wheat and tobacco, and will limit to 25 per cent of 10.14 figures Imports of American autos. The restriction to of last year's imports applies to 200 different products ! On Italy's part this Is at once an attempt to adjust her long enduring unfavorable balance of trade, and an attempt to stimulate domestic production. But even 1934 exports from America to Italy were not big. They represented a very lean year for most American exporters. The restriction on cotton Is expected to have repercussions all through the South. Meanwhile Italy hopes either to Increase the output of her Flat and other auto factories, or to encourage all American manufacturers of cars to establish branch factories In Italy. Either of which would provide work for Italians. Wheat Is in a different category. Formerly the United States shipped about 80,000,000 bushels of wheat a year to Italy, With the boosting of the tariff on wheat to protect American farmers from hard Canadian wheat, Canada simply took over this market one-fourt- h Annoys White House White House Irritation against the radio companies, for permitting Huey Long to get so much free time, is growing pretty hot But it Is not easy to make the case. To put It clearly and simply would lay the White House open to-- a charge of attempted censorship, and give Senntor Schall of Minnesota more to talk about. That was Irritating enough at the time. But the fact Is that Huey's attacks have been annoying the administration, from the President down, more than any other one thing. It is not really the Immediate political prospect of a third party, at all. It is Just plain annoyance. The political situation, from the administration standpoint, is fine. If Huey succeeds In stirring up a radical third party, rhe President, moving slightly to the right, will simply annex what is left of the old Republican Farty's conservative wing. Roosewould be as sure as velt's was Hoover's defeat last time, or more accurately, as Taft's defeat was In 1912. Moreover, the Republicans have r Coughplayed the Iluey lin game. They have been hoping these malcontents would get somewhere. They have thought that only In a split of the President's following could any Republican have a chance. But a radical Democrat, garnering Democratic votes here and there, would or at least might elect a Republican. This phase of it was all right with the White House. There were even smiles when General Johnson took Father Coughlin over the Jumps, In his broadcast, and threw a little mud over Iluey. But Huey did not respond as the White House had anticipated. He did not follow the course of Couglilin and devote himself to annihilating Johnson, while professing the highest admiration for the President Iluey pro ceeded to Ignore Johnson and to belabor the President, taking up his polthem icies one by one and pres-tlnin an almost ludicrous light. Too many people are annoyed at the codes, the processing taxes, at cotton mills closing down while Japanese Imports flow In, for such tactics not to hurt. And they do hurt. Long-Fathe- g Too Much Free Time Now what burns up the administration Is that Long has .been getting most of bis time over the radio for nothing. The radio companies do not like this. They are very uneasy about It They know thaf both Longhand Father Coughlin are tremendous drawing cards over the radio. But they do not like the Idea of giving away time to some one who .will, produce Irritation at the White House, It may spell trouble for thera In other ways. They would much prefer to cut them off altogether.

Have food and water or milk ready for the chicks as soon as they are received from the hatchery. A good starting and growing mashf should contain 18 to 20 per cent crude protein, not more than 7 to 8 uer cent crude fiber, and should be ground finely enough that particles are no larger than half a kernel of wheat. Also, the chicks should be given nothing but milk to drink for the first seven to fourteen days, to maintain the proper content of protein In the ration. Or, the potiltryinan may mix 10 to 13 per cent of dried milk with the chick mash for the first few days. This need for more protein In the early diet, the first food of the chick after batching. Is yolk, which contains about 33 per cent of protein. Milk" the first food of mammals, also contains about 33 per cent of protein. Birds and fowls in the wild state are fed largely on worms and Insects for a time after hatching. This sort of food has a higher protein content than egg yolk or milk. Therefore, It does not seem logical to change the ration of the chick suddenly from egg yolk, a 33 per cent protein food, to a mash that contains 13 to 20 per cent protein. Some form of milk in the ration, to supply additional protein, Is essential for the first week or two.

Hens with these characteristics should be selected for a breeding flock on farms where chicks are hatched, says a writer In Prairie Farmer. It Is easier to get a small flock of good hens together and mated with roosters from flocks than It Is to Increase flock production by hatching eggs from the farm flock. The birds used In the breeding flock should be the super-birdof the entire flock. They should be selected for breed character, vitality and constitutional vigor.
