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. One news-
pnper once commented on the fnct

that he hid in a barn from a court"
subpoena by expressing commiser
ation for the animals in the barn.
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.

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

CORN HOG CONTRACTS
SIGNED BY FARMERS
Dallas Most of the Polk county
corn-hog contracts were signed
during the past few days. 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

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;
