Strike Mediation Following submission to and approval by the president or the report of the textile strike mediation board, the ex ecutive has called on strikers to return to their jobs and tex tile manufacturers to take back employes without discrim ination to aid the government to carry out the steps outlined oy the mediators, which call for: Creation of a textile labor relations board for the "more adequate protection of labor's rights under the collective bargaining and other labor provisions of the code." A study by the labor department and the federal trade commission to determine whether increased wages are economically feasible, Regulation of the stretch-out the practice of Increasing the number of machines tended by Individual workers by a second board, acting under tne textile labor board. An investigation by the labor department to settle the question of differentials betweek minimum wages prescribed by the code and com pensation of skilled workers. Hie president regards the board's report as. an instru ment to lasting peace in the industry and this is the opinion also of the secretary of labor. The board asserts that the findings and recommendations are fair and reasonable and meet the basic sources of the difficulty, and provide a sound basis for that "united action of labor and management con templated by the recovery act and recovery program." It is to be hoped that both the owners and unions accept the proposal of peaceable adjudication and cease their bloody conflict which entails heavy costs to both and to the general public. The strike has gone far enough to show that neither side can hope for conclusive victory and mutual concessions are necessary to end a disastrous struggle. Mediation is the logical way out. This rule of reason might well have been invoked before the strike, but stubbornness on both sides prevented it. It seems the psychology of labor troubles that there must first be a test of strength to gain objectives, until the strike fever runs its course. Price Fixing Fails The great majority of northwest lumber concerns have petitioned the NKA. for abolition of the price fixing sections of the lumber code, holding that universal chiseling makes it impossible of enforcement. They declare that unless their pe tition is heeded, "the entire code is going to be lost." Yet these lumbermen themselves drafted this code and insisted on the inclusion of price fixing to save the prostrate industry, and what revivial the lumber business has had, has been credited to the code, and only last month the West Coast Lumbermen's association adopted a resolution declar ing a majority of its members favored it. Some 80 percent of the companies are admittedly selling under lumber code prices. This is due to the fact that the code fixed prices so high that a consumers' strike followed and to get business to pay overhead charges, price cutting followed, along with racketeering which penalized honest business. Price fixing in the smaller occupational codes has proven a failure, and it seems likely to fail in the larger industries. American industry is loth to regulate itself because we are a nation o individualists as well as law breakers. Codes are an experiment and their unworkable features, as proven by experience, must be abandoned to retain their workable fea tures, and there are many of them. Those codes that ex cluded price fixing have had no such revolt of the chiselers. Radio Favorites One reason why the efforts of Senator Dill of Washing ton to induce the broadcasters to establish a news service in rivalry to newspapers, is likely to fail, is that the radio list eners do not care for it. The brief resume of imrjortant events furnished by the press associations now satisfies pub lic demands. Polls conducted in numerous radio surveys prove this fact. The latest survey was conducted for Radio Art, a trade magazine, and replies to questionnaires sent thousands of radio listeners in many cities as to the type of radio pro grams preferred, showed that musical programs had an overwhelming preference, with dance and jazz preferred to classical music Sport broadcasts were second on the list, drama third, comedy fourth, with news, educational, reli gious and domestic programs the least listened to of all. In answer to the query as to the most disliked programs, domestic programs were the most unpopular, personal ad vice next, the political broadcast next, followed by children's programs, foreign broadcasts, religious services and educa tional instruction. These expressions are a correct reflex of popular tastes and prove the people want light stuff on the radio, want to be amused and not instructed. All of which shows that a good ninny advertisers are wasting tlveir money, for the less advertising a program contains, the bettor it goes over. News Behind The News By Paul Mallen V' Washington, Sept 11 One thing everyone here now concedes is that these New Dealers can taxe nearly anything with a smile. They have been able to con ceal their real feellnlgs about some of these democratic pri mary results only with great effort, but the effort never was great er than when the man Bilbo won S? f",ler, day m PAl,L- MALLON Mississippi. You may not know Mr. Bilbo, but you will. He mil become a United States senator next January. For tne following six years he will be a national character surpassing Huey Xiong, lie dbs promised It. As one astute New Dealer re marked after bearing of Bilbo's victory : "All the senate now needs to be come a minstrel show is a brass band. Bilbo and Long are the two best end men in politics, Technique The secret of Mr. Bilbo's success Is not what you may think. He Is not anti-New Deal. Nor does his election mean that Mississippi has gone berserk. He made a good reform record in his first term as governor and still Is supported by many of the best fam ilies In the state. As well as the backwoodsmen. The best authorities on politics there seem to agree his victory can be traced to two things: (1) The unpopularity of his opponent and (2) Mr. Bilbo's promise of all things to au men. His political technique is amaz ing. He has been accused of nearly everything under the sun and a few things over It, and he never denies anything. Indeed,, he makes a vir tue out of most accusations. For instance, a tale Is told about how one of his opponents In a gu bernatorial campaign accused him of being too much of a ladies' man.: He chose to make a reply at a wo men's political rally, where he said in effect: "The man Bilbo (he always looks at himself objectively) Is fifty-two years old. He has been accused of being a ladles' man. He docs not deny that accusation, but says that any man who is fifty-two years old and Is still a ladies' man Is the kind of a man you want for governor." Background It Is also whispered that, In another campaign, he was caught In a rather embarrassing position because the candidate for whom he was campaigning was dy ing. Mr. 13H0O did not bat an eye. Said he: I would rather vote for a man In a graveyard with a good respectable name than the rest of these pud dinhcads who are running around cican But won't lie down.' Some of the newspapers In his state have sold some things about him in fighting words. He has been on both the receiving and sending cnti or bribery charges.

To all of which Mr. BUbo turned the othar cheek. j When a jury absolved him In a malfeasance case, he took occasion to say that perhaps the Judge, the prosecutor and soma other people thought him guilty, but he sided with tht Jury. Also, ha Is the man who mad that groundless asser tion in the 1026 campaign that the republican presidential candidate had danced with a n egress. Gulp Tha New Deal attitude Is Illustrated by what Chester Davis (AAA administrator) said in Jest.. He thought it spoke well for agri culture Secretary Wallace's politi cal acumen that, in six months, Wallace was able to develop a man capable of winning a senatorial nomination. The truth Is the New . Dealers would not give Bilbo a good Job. In order to take care of him, they gave him a desk in the AAA and permitted him to clip newspapers at a salary ot $6,500 a year, a fact they may later have cause to regret. Nevertheless, Mr. Bilbo will prob ably vote with the New Deal In most Important matters. He will go wild carefully and only on his pet subjects, such as the cosh bonus, and the redistribution of wealth. But his election and some of the others mean a tempestuous and amusing congressional circus this winter. Ohio Another spot which has caused the New Dealers to be less happy than their public statements Indicate is In Ohio. The New Deal generalissimos here have heard that democratic senate Candidate Donahey will make a speech to the state conven tion shortly promising to defend the constitution. Private polls have indicated Donahey will win in No vember. Private information indi cates he will support the New Deal ers only when he thinks they are right, which may not be as often as they expect. The serious point About the Bil bo case, the Donahey case and the Upton Sinclair case in California Is that Chairman Farley is trying to take them all under his wing and It is beginning to look as though the wing may eventually become bigger than the chicken. NeweomerT Certain agents for President Roosevelt have been working on the inside the last few days to get Calvin MaGruder (an-l other Harvard law school man) an-1 PERFECT CASE OF EXTORTION ON HAUPTMANN New York, Sept. 11 frT) During questioning of Bruno Richard Hauptmann concerning the Lind bergh ransom money, Acting Chief Inspector John J. Sullivan declared today in police lineup: "I can understand this man's de nial, but we have a perfect extor tion case against him," the Inspector said. "There Is no -doubt In my mind that he will have to answer a more serious charge. "There Is not a bit of doubt In my mind about this man. This case Just proves good of cooperation between all agencies, the treasury department, department of Justus, postofflce department and police. "We have Just arrived at the con clusion this morning that it Is not complete by any means." Sullivan then paid tribute to the members of the police force and added: "I want to add a word'of respect for another group of men, the news papermen. I respect them for their confidence and if anyone is entitled to respect for their fairness and decency, it Is the representatives of the press." Hauptmann was then led off the stand and taken to another part of headquarters prior to his trip to the Bronx for arraignment in West Farms court. Hauptmann's appearance on the stand was a climax to the usual parade of petty suspects. He was pointed to Garrison's pice as head of the national labor board. Steam You will shortly hear the railroads beginning to blow off some steam for their rights. The young men high in railroad organ izations have been stoking tha boilers on the Q.T. for some weeks now. That Is the real reason the res ignation of J. J. Pelley as president of the N. Y. N. H. and H will be announced soon. Announcement has been delayed because of an In side row regarding his successor. He will head a new national railroad group organization to be called the American railroad institute. It will supersede the two old Inadequate rail trade organizations. brought into the lineup room be fore the other prisoners, but he was the last to be called to the stand. He appeared greatly agitated. A uniformed policeman walked at his side; a plainclothesiuan followed him. The prisoner tottered as he walked to the stand. As SulUvan fired questions at him, Hauptmann blinked in the strong glare of the spotlight, focus ing his gaze on the floor. He seem ed to have difficulty in hearing his inquisitor who frequently had to re peat his questions. Hauptmann spoke with a strong Teutonic accent. JOINT PROTECTION BONNEVILLE DAM A mutual agreement between the Washington trade and Industries board and the Oregon industrial ac cident commission for protection of workmen and employers at Bonne ville dam in the Columbia river, was effected the past week it was an nounced by T. Morris Dunn of the accident commission, who Just re turned from Olympla.

A few farmers found that they could not sign their contract because of the heavy cuts that had been made in them. The 262 contracts were allotted total of 8,000 pigs by the federal committee that reviewed the con tracts. A few contracts were ser iously cut and others only a little, depending on the evidence. The board of directors of the corn-hog association held a meet ing Saturday to lay plans for com pleting the program and arranged for the measuring of the corn fields that are under contract and check ing on the hog production of each farmer who signed up. "The com pleted contracts will go to Wash ington within the next three or four days," according to Ronald Hogg, president of the associatioa Shaw Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Sher man and family motored to Grand Ronde Sunday to the Clair Humph rey home, combining business with pleasure. I 9 y Chas. H. N Martin Candidate Efor Governor 8:15 P.M. 1 Saturday Sept. 22 N KEX "Out Tax Problem" FINE WHISKIES SINCE 1 8 5 7 gives you the answers to six questions about bottled -in -bond whiskies 1 What is the difference between American and Canadian tchiskey? What are examples of each ? The difference lies in the way the whis kies were made rather than where they were made. Canadian whiskies arc gener ally of light body, subtle bouquet. Ameri can 'whiskies are traditionally richer, more full-bodied, stronger. Seagram's offers both hinds. In Seagram's famous V. O. and "83" yon can have bottled-in-bond Canadian whis kies of superlative character and excel lence. In Seagram's "Ancient Bottle" Rye and Seagram's Bourbon you can have bottled-in-bond whiskies distilled and matured in the finest American tradition; 2 Where are the world's largest stocks offidly aged Rye and Bour bon whiskies of true American clutracter? The House of Seagram holds the world's largest stocks of fully aged whiskies distilled in the American tradition. They were distilled and matured in Canada, where their manufacture and sale were legal during Prohibition here; They are American in all save geography their distillation supervised in every detail by American experts according to American formulas. Through Seagram's foresight it is now possible for Americans to enjoy fully aged American-type whiskey, when domestic bonded stocks are virtually exhausted. l Just what is meant by the term "bottled in bond"? Whiskey may be labeled bottled in bond only after it has been aged for a pre scribed number of years in charred oak casks in a bonded Government ware bouse under amtlnmus Government super vision. Seagram's V. O., Seagram's "83", Sea gram's "Ancient Bottle" Rye and Sea gram's Bourbon are all bottled in bond under Government supervision, their age attested by the Canadian Government seal. 4 IIow old must whiskey be before it is bottled in bond and why? In the United States, whiskey must age in casks at least 4 years before it can be "bottled in bond." Experience has shown that whiskey requires 4 years to reach maturity. Every drop of Seagram's fine bottled-in-bond whiskies has aged in charred oak casks at least 5 years. Is all bottled-in-bond wldskey the Decidedly, not! Time works wonders; But even Time cannot turn poorly made whiskey into fine old whiskey. The qual ity of the ingredients, the skill used in distilling and aging are nil -important factors in whiskey's final flavor. Seagram's whiskies are backed by three generations of distilling skill. 0 How can I be sure of getting fine, bottled-in-bond whiskies? Say Seagram's and be sure. Seagram's famous whiskies come to you from a vast supply of rare old whiskey. Until suffi cient stocks of American distilled whis kies have aged in bond for 4 years, Seagram alone can assure you so wide a choice and so continuous a supply of fully aged whiskey; AMERICAN WHISKIES distilled in Canada CANADIAN WHISKIES If price Is no object, for the rsra occasion we recommend Seagram's two American whiskey classics ( PEDIGREE DB LUXE RYB I PEDIGREE DE LUXE BOURBON
