At the President's side stood William Wil-liam Green, who succeeded Mr. Gompers as president of the American Amer-ican federation of Ijibor and who Is doing his best to carry out the policies of his predecessor. Mr. Green turned to Mr. Roosevelt and said: "I tender the assurance of the devotion and loyalty of the officers of-ficers and members of the American Amer-ican Federation of Labor to yon as the Chief Executive of our nation, and to the United States." In his address the President said: "In" the fields of organized labor there are problems just as there were In the spring of 1917 questions of Jurisdiction whlcb bave to be settled quickly and effectively ef-fectively In order to prevent the slowing up of the general program. There are the perfectly natural problems of selfish Individuals who seek personal gntn by running counter coun-ter to the calm Judgment of sound leadership. There are hotheads who think that results can be obtained by noise or violence; there are Insidious In-sidious voices seeking to instill methods or principles which are wholly foreign to the American form of democratic government. "On the part of employers there are some who shudder at anything now. There are some, a decreasing number. 1 believe, who think In terms of dollars and cents Instead of In terms of human lives; there re some who themselves would prefer pre-fer government by privileged class Instead of by majority rule. "But It Is clear that the sura of the objectors on both sides cuts a very small figure In the total of employers and employees alike who re going along wholeheartedly In the war against depression." Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, NRA administrator, ad-ministrator, appeared before the convention of the American Federation Feder-ation of Ijihor and ardently urged the union men to cease their strike to put full faith In the NRA and to enter Into real partnership with Industry and the government He strenuously defended the recovery program. rpitOM the newspapers and also from letters the President has been brought to a realisation of the huge salaries paid to stars of the movie world and to certain of the moving picture directors. He called General Johnson on the telephone and directed him to take the matter mat-ter op. find out whether these salaries sal-aries are "consclonable" and do whatever ahould be done to level them down. Johnson turned the Inquiry In-quiry over to Sol A. Rosenhlat. NRA movie administrator. Tr pitches received trom Hollywood said the film Industry was nervous ver the matter, fearing the Invest! gatlon would reveal secrets concerning concern-ing salaries that have been kept bidden during the depression. SO GREAT has become the pressure pres-sure from senators and congressmen con-gressmen to obtain Jobs for their friends on the Tennessee valley project that Dr. Arthur Ar-thur E, Morgan, chairman of the TVA.has announced that every employee, em-ployee, even tha common laborers, will be selected by clrll service tests. The examinations be said, would be along the same lines as those given prospective Navy department em ployees. "1 really do not blame members of congress for the sltuatluu." be explained. "There are so many people peo-ple desperately In need of work that the senators and representatives representa-tives themselves are bard pressed." Doctor Morgan said that administrative adminis-trative costs of the project would be reduced materially through direct di-rect civil service action, which would release for other work a large staff that bad to be maintained t care for more than l.WM dally applications ap-plications for Jobs. "First of at!. Doctor Morgan remarked, re-marked, "few persons know tnt we are cit of politics by Uw. V Dr. A. E. Morgan "Secondly, If the government goes into business It has got to go Into it In a businesslike way." He pointed out that stories of the ambitious public-works program for the Tennessee valley had attracted a floating population from all parts of the country, Imposing a heavy relief re-lief burden on already harassed communities. He added that Tennessee Ten-nessee valley residents were being given the preference on laboring Jobs. TPlIEODORE RAIIUTIS, a restan- rateur of Gary, lnd has achieved fame, or notoriety, aa the first Individual to lose his blue eagle on orders from Administrator Johnson. His NRA emblem was taken tak-en away because he allegedly was not abiding by the President's reemployment re-employment agreement which he had signed. With this as a start, General Johnson ordered various other persons and firms to turn In their blue eagles. One grocer gro-cer In Knoxvllle, Tenn., voluntarily surrendered his Insignia declaring that the code was a failure so far as his business was concerned. Dairy farmers from all parts of the country gathered In Chicago and threatened to bolt the recovery recov-ery program because the farm adjustment ad-justment administration has failed to enforce the provisions of Its trade agreements for the city milk markets. COMETHINd went wrong on a transcontinental passenger plane of the United Air Lines as It was over Chesterton, Ind, on the way from New Tork to Chicago. There was a terrific explosion, the tall broke off. the big plane whirled down a thousand feet to ground on a farm, and burst Into flames. Seven Sev-en persons, Including four passengers, pas-sengers, two pilots and the stewardess, stew-ardess, perished. United Air Lines officials pointed out that the accident acci-dent was the first fatal one on Its passenger service In seven years, In which millions of air miles were traveled. DANAMA has serious and seem-1 seem-1 Ingly Justified grievances against the United States, and llarmodlo Arias, president of the Isthmian re- i public, Is In Wash- Ington to lay them i before President Roosevelt.

The cone, for Instance, In-stance, pays no duties on goods Imported Im-ported from the United States, and Panama does. This condition has become especially Irksome since the legalisation of beer, for the Canal Zone commissaries and the army and navy posts established a string of beer gardens which undersoil the native places and capture much of the r.one pay rolls. A similar situation exists with other products than beer, Panamanians Panama-nians maintain. They point to the sale of such luxuries as Doulton china and silk as a violation of the original treaty of mt with the United States In which It was agreed that only actual necessities for American employees, would be Imported and sold by the Canal Zone, Another matter brought up by President Arias Is the question of the large number of West Indians Imported to the t'anal Zone for work by the United States government and who have since been discharged because of economy and have gone over to the cities and towns of Panama. Pan-ama. They are without work and are being taken care of by the Panamanian Pan-amanian government Senor Arias wants our congress to appropriate funds to send these people back home, and this has already been recommended by Gov. Julian L. Schley of the tone. CONTINUING the trend toward government price fixing, the President has created a new agency whose function will be to obtain and maintain higher prices for commodities. com-modities. It la called the Commod Ify Credit corporation, has an Initial Ini-tial capital of S3.onn.flOQ subscribed by the government, and will lend funds of the Reconstruction Finance corporation to producers whlcb the RFC cannot do legally.

Panama has higher prices. Other commodities, not yet announced, will be taken In band later. The loans to producers are to be secured by the commodities. commodi-ties. - SENATOR JAMES J. DAVIS of Pennsylvania, director general of the Loyal Order of Moose, Is at last freed of charges of violating the federal lottery law In connection connec-tion with the charity balls conducted conduct-ed by the order. A Jury In New York found Davis and Theodore G. Miller of Aurora, 111, not guilty after a trial lasting nearly four weeks. WITH Florida now on the. list, 83 states have voted for repeal re-peal of the Eighteenth amendment, and only three more states are needed to put an end to national prohibition. Florida went wet by a vote of approximately 4 to 1. HOPE for some success In the disarmament conference was revived though It was still rather faint. The hope was based on the fact that both Germany Ger-many and France were becoming more specific In their demands.
