long, Michael wan tumbled onto
the ledge.
He lay, horribly Bllll. Throw
ing the coats lo tun, William bent
over. With ono hniKo he lieuved
Michael over IiIh shoulder, and
slowly, laboriously, wo odod our
way back lo the path. Despite the
care with which we laid him down,
one arm was twlHtcd under him.
Wood was flowing from u gash on
his head.
Luckily my hip pocket still con
tained the Mask with which I had
reconciled myself to that ride in
the rumble-sent. I raised his head
and forced a Utile whiskey into
him. Possibly minutes ticked by.
Tho roar of the blood In my ears
drowned out tho combined wind
and surf. And thou finally he
moved. It was impossible to eaten
what he said. Me insisted on gel
ling to his feet and stood there,
swaying, covered with blood, d rip
ping wet, and altogether unpleas
ant to look at.
William roared, "Hack to the
house, sir!"
We thought Michael understood,

Tore we could get tho overcoat

footprints showed ( hat someone
had been too impatient to take the
path. The Skipper? Michael was
off like a shot.
At the drive we hist I hem. Too
much water had poured over Hint

It was good Scotch.

Behind the Scenes
In Washington
By Rodney Dutcher
WASHINGTON, April 21 Al
though the administration contin
ues lo belabor the Bupremo court,
it is secretly grateful for the Wag
ner act decisions.
Kven if, It should be conceded
that those decisions made Roose
velt's attempt to reorganize the
judiciary somewhat more difficult,
tlie new dealers received a oik
break when they were Riven a
constitutional interpretation which
will enuble the government to
handle the labor problems.
Validation of the Wagner act
greatly eased a situation which,
persons closo to Ihe administration
privately admitted, could not
have been permitted to go on in
definitely. Another General Mot
ors or Chrysler incident might
have put the prosident in a bad
hole.
Now- tile administration per
haps with little semblance of grat
itude can blame recent labor
crises on tho courts. Federal dis
trict anil circuit courts had tied
up enforcement ot tho Wagner act
for nearly two years by rulings of
unconstitutionality, which they
based on supremo court rulings
banded down lu days when Jus
tice ltoherts was voting with tho
conservatives.
The supremo court's Wagner
decisions have made it possible to
have a national labor policy and
have left tbe country with sea
soned, experienced machinery in
the form of the national labor re
lations board.
Bitter On Conference Call
Some confusion and mystifica
tion hus followed the action of
Secretary of I.abor Krnnces Per
kins In calling a conference of in
dustrial and labor leaders for the
purpose of atuLillztng industrial
relations under collective bargain
ing. Tho NLUB, recalling how stren
uously Miss 1'erklns sought to got
the hoard under her wing when
it was created, and suspecting she
still hopes to gel it there when
ever the president's roorsuniz.'tion
program goes through. Is rather
hitter about II. The board be
lieves lhal it is at least un ut
tempt to aggrandize tho labor
department, and advorlise lis con
ciliation services. Labor leaders
privately stress their Ignorance as
to what the conference might be
expected lo accomplish.
Industrialists naturally would
emphasize their claims that tbe
Wagner act Is entirely one-sided,
and demand legislative guarantees
of .salinity of contracts with labor
unions and against "Illegal stop
page of work. ' The adinlnistiiillon
is not unsympathetic lo such pro
posals, hut has no Intention of
supporllng such far-reaching pro
grams as, for example, compulsory
arbitration or compulsory incor
poration of trade unions. It is vir
tually certain Hint there will be
no aineudmenls to the Wagner
act, such as are proposed lo "bal
ance" II lor the sake of employers,
Mils year. Present administration
altitude is: "I'd'a lei It ride on
ihe basis of Ihe Wagner act for
awhile."
Numerous problems remain in
tin- labor field, and only actual
experience, II is hold, will demon
strate just what new legislation
inlgbl be needed. Dim obvious
fuel Is Hint there still will be
strikes If employers, having obey
ed ihe law by bargnlntiiK collec
IHely, are unable to reach agree
ments with Ihelr employes.
The NLltll's loughest problem
probably will be found In dis
putes between the A. of L. and
Ihe (.'. I. ). The A. I' ot L. has
been demanding Ihe lighl lo bar
gain for eiuft unions. And tho
