TATn run u a k a r PREVIEWliNG BKH AllN 5 DIO ' - sMEN sion, very much as Edward F. assistant secretary of laand other labor officials have bor, been doir.g in the various strike situations outside the railroad field. Mc-Grad- y, and HEARD annmd the NATIONAL CAPITAL Carter Field Washington. Since his arrival in Washington, Georges Bonnet, the sew French ambassador, has been the target at nearly every social function he has attended fur quesn strikes and tions about the what has happened about them. The questioners started off with the n popular delusion that the strike originated in France. M. Bonnet hastens to set them right about this. He is not sure just where they did originate, but he knows they were in vogue in Poland before they were ever employed in France. But the big surprise is what has happened since they started in France. The French government, questioners are told, simply said it would not stand for them! It so notified strikers and labor leaders. When strikers were approached by the French police, they abandoned their "posts" with only vocal objections. No one was hurt. There was no disorder. All of which is rather startling to especially Washington's diners-out- , as they had assumed that the present French government is almost Communist certainly more liberal than most, and presumably much more than the present administration in this country. Meanwhile there is plenty of discussion in senate and house cloakrooms, and elsewhere, as to what ought to be done about strikers, and who ought to do it. There are plenty of suggestions that Grover Cleveland would know how to handle it. In fact, his name was mentioned to a recent visitor on Capitol hill by two very distinguished senators. Where Power Lie There is a very wide difference of opinion as to where the constitutional power lies. Some lawyers among the national legislators insist that the federal and state governments have joint power. The theory here is that the strikes in the automobile plants affect interstate commerce, hence thrusting responsibility on the federal government for the movement of goods across state lines. This is a minority view, as most lawyers agree that automobile production, to take the most popular instance, is strictly intrastate, despite the very obvious effects such a strike would have on interstate commerce, both in the flow of supplies to the plant and the flow of automobiles from the plant. However, the Supreme court is expected to settle that point, very definitely, in its forthcoming decision on the Wagner labor relations act. The two cases are almost on all fours. The government contends it has the right to compel plants engaged in similar production to submit to labor regulations of the federal government. The companies insist they are intrastate. The decision of the court will almost certainly decide that point of contention. Most lawyers who have studied the case believe that the court will hold the Wagner act unconstitutional, some of them even predicting that the decision will be unanimous. If that should prove true, it will become almost certain that responsistrikes bility for handling if they are to be handled by any governmental power at all, which in itself is highly dubious will rest with state governments. Perhaps even local governments. sit-do- pro-lab- n sit-do- n A Real Menace Despite all reports to the con- trary, the administration does not propose to attempt compulsory ar- bitration of labor disputes. In the first place, the administration has no desire to get in a knockdown and drag out fight with organized labor, and if there is one subject on which John L. Lewis and William Green see eye to eye it is that they want no compulsory arbitration least of all from the government. The administration recognizes the seriousness of the present labor development. President Roosevelt has told members of the house that he is much concerned about the possibilities of the strikes; that he regards them not only as illegal but as a real menace to the country. He made this "admission despite the knowledge of every man in the group to whom he was speaking that he himself had virtually forced General Motors to negotiate while strikers were occupying its plants, which tction resulted not only in the success of C. I. O. in that battle, but made its victory in steel easy, and started a wave of strikes and other labor disturbances in other industries. What the administration is figuring on is something in the nature of the mediation board which has existed for many years for the handling of disputes between railway This managements and workers. board has never had any authority. It merely sits in with the conflicting, elements and seeks to bridge over the differences by moral sua n n i Await Court Fight 5,000.000 Persons Will n, The most the government hopes for, as a matter of fact, is some sort of agreement that there must be 30 days' notice before a strike is actually made effective a sort of breathing spell treaty, so to speak. But few believe that even this would work, thinking that the modern idea of nations making war before they formally declare it is just as effectivea bit of tactics even if u- nfairin labor warfare as ' ' spite the heavily increased returns of March 15 are definitely on the administration's agenda.

He alsc agrees with Hopkins that the gov ernment has not scratched the sur face in providing better housing. Bell m 7 j 1 Heavier Spending So Eccles' statement was not just a trial balloon. It was a warning-s- et up to make the impact less dreadful when it comes, later this year. The administration is gravely concerned over the political and economic effects of the continued advance in the cost of living, already set in motion by business revival, advances in wages and shortening of hours. It fears something approaching a buyers' strike a little later when a great mass of con sumers, with no pay raises, find their incomes simply won't stretch Hence the importance of budget balancing, or at least a step in that direction, so as to head off the feat of actual currency inflation accel- e WITH s Trial Balloon Procession; Rooms Coronation Ts George se-u- . in inter- a spending mood is headed toward what tories will call a spending orgy. Bitter protests of senators and representatives will be calmed by administration insistence that new taxes to finance spending, without too great additions to the federal debt, are necessary to head off inflation which would hit the consumer. Those in congress who oppose the tax boost will be put in the position of protecting the rich and the corporations of grinding the faces of the poor. Capitol hill leaders have not yet been consulted, just as they were not on the Supreme court enlargement proposal. Chairman Eccles' statement was not prompted solely by the slight decline in price of federal bonds. The administration is interested in that too, but far from frightened actually the day Eccles made his statement government 4 per cent bonds sold at 112, and some V per cent bonds sold at a fraction over par, so the decline could hardly be called a debacle. The government is concerned about this slight decline in prices because the whole move is a straw in the wind which, if it continued, would result in higher interest rates. The government does not want higher interest rates, for two reasons. It wants to keep its own interest payments down, and it wants to enable business to borrow as cheaply as possible so as to encourage new industries and greater employment.

It would be had tactics, most New Dealers believe, to put any legislation through before the high court has its new blood transfusion. To get any part of the program accomplished in advance of action on the court enlargement law would, it is thought, take just that much steam out from the pressure for the court fight. This battle is tough enough, the New Dealers realize, without surrendering an ounce of advantage. All of which spells infinite delay. There is no thought in the senate of expediting that debate. Senator Henry F. Ashurst, chairman of the senate judiciary committee, despite a complete flop to the President's side, announces he will fight any move to invoke cloture. Which means that the talkers in the senate will not be restrained. Best estimates are that the final vote will not come before June, even if then, which means that all the new labor legislation, and the farm legislation as well, must wait until after that. - . : :: one-hal- Pattern 1313 lows, buffet sets are but a kw suggestions.
