WASHINGTON,' Feb. There Is
Inside eveldence that Mr. Roosevelt's
public appeal for rail peace waa a
staged play to put the employera on
the apot.
Pootprlnta In the graaa around the
White House Indicate that the rail
labor leader, A. V. Whitney, has call
ed to aee Mr. Roosevelt several times
recently.
The labor groupa were fearsome
that Vie operators would force an Is
sue on a further wage cut at this
time. Mr. Roosevelt himself origin
ally cut his own employes 15 per cent
while the rallroada cut only ten per
cent. Workers generally have been
cut considerably more than rail la
bor. Speed.
Mr. Roosevelt waa so fast with hla
appeal that he got It Into the newa
papera about the ' aame time the
managers announced their Intention
of seeking a IS per osnt reduction.
He was even further ahead of the
a managers' game than that because
he wrote the letter a day before he
made it public.
It left the operatora no opportuni
ty to force the Issue unless they
wanted to take on a fight with Mr.
Roosevelt at the same time as the
labor question. That would be a
large order.
If you dig deep enough you wlU
probably find some of the managera
see the reasonableness of continuing
the existing ten per ment pay cut.
They were not calleld to the White
House, but Joseph Eastman, rail
road coordinator, waa supposed . to
have been Mr. Roosevelt'a contact
man with them.
The way Mr. Roosevelt staged It,
both managera and labor can give in
without losing face.
Justice.
Most non-partisan experts agree
that this Is no time to talk about
further wage reductions; operating
revenuea are Increasing. Mr. Roose
velt himself has promised to give
back five per cent to hla government
workers, making their net reduction
10 per cent as of July 1.
The whole effort of NRA la toward
4 Increasing wages.
The railroads have made major
MnnmiM far bevond their 10 per
cent wage reduction. T.hcy did It by
discharging men witn a ramer w
hand and Increasing the efficiency
nr th ritmnlnlne men.
The number of their workers has
fallen from 1,700,000 In 1920 to
around 950,000 now.
Cotton.
The administration has gone thru
agonies trying to find out whether
it favora' the compulsory slash In cot
ton acreage.
Agreculture Secretary Wallace once
told a group of friends privately that
this was no dictatorship, when they
asked him whether he favored com
pulsion. That was several weeks ago.
Since then the White House has
boldly espoused the proposal. The
Bankhead bill was dragged from ob
livion and given consideration by the
house agriculture committee.
Within the past few days the
White House la aupposed to have
'cooled again toward the project.
w,n Mr. Wallace testified before
the house committee, he was thla
I way and that way, on fie one nana
' and then on the other.
Meanwhile, Chairman Jones or tne
committee Is telling his closest
friends he believes he has a bull by
the tall and cannot decide where to
throw It.
When all Vie confusion simmers
down, the bill may go back to ob
livion. Talking.
Mr. Roosevelt's unprecented plan
of talking freely at press conferences
has Involved him lately In several
Inner difficulties.
On one occasion he gave an Im
pression concerning the CWA which
Administrator Hopklna diplomatical
ly corrected the next day. In the
home ownera" loan corporation talk
he promised to guarantee more bonda
tn th enrnoratlon Intended. Lat
er In talking about cotton he caused
Mr. Wallace some uneasy momenta.
At least the newimen thought he
did.
d None of the occasions was lmport
" ant.
Snipping
The private calendar fight In the
house the other day waa blamed on
Col. Lindbergh, but he was only an
Innocent bystander who happened to
get shot.
The truth la house Republlcana
and Democrats are very, very angry
at each other. In warm moments
nowadays they glare across the alule
aa If they would make faces. The
other day when the Democratic
leaders were having trouble getting
a malorlty for one of their bills, a
Republican sarcastically called out:
"My, w.hat marvelous discipline you
girls have."
The trouble appears to have start
ed when a Democrat Zlonche"k of
Washington) objected to one of the
personal bills of the Republican
leader fSnell.)
Congreamen may Insult each oth

even fight and then apologize. But

(Copyright, 1934, by The Associated
Pre)
WASHINGTON. Feb. 19. T Tne
NRA haa created a new price formula,
expected to lead to eventual abandon
ment of absolute price-fixing.
It Is designed to prevent sales be
low "reasonable cost." Officials of the
recovery agency feel that if the plan
proves successful it will make -more
arbitrary price-fixing unnecessary.
The new scheme, as set forth in an
official memorandum not yet released
to the public, proposes & standard
price provision for codes. It would
permit an Industry to determine
"reasonable" costs in an "emergency"
where destructive price cutting might
endanger the maintenance of a code.
It would tend in the future to per
mit price regulation only in emerg
encies, and officials aald It indicated
a general backing away from price
tampering except In a few Instances.
The new provision la recommended
In all new codes, and may be adopted
for old codes If the Industry desires.
The new formula was described as
based on the idea of selecting the cost
of plants of average efficiency as
standard "reasonable cost" for an in

SANTA BARBARA, Calof.,
Feb. 17. All this argument
over who will enrry the mail,
and if you tore a snck open
here is whnt you would find :
Twenty per cent, would be
I'hiiin letters, "mail this to 10
Dthers, it will bring you good
luck," and we spend a linlf bil
lion a year on education! Forty
per cent, will be asking some
body for an autograph. As I
said before, we spend a half
billion on education. Ten per
cent, will be congressional rec
ords and there is not a house
that can't pick up their own
kindlinif.f Ten per cent, is
pamphlets of somebody's
scheme of how to solve some
thing. Ten per cent, is bills
which won't be paid, so they
just as well not send 'em. Ten
per cent, is newspapers being
sent to a place where there is a
better paper printed, and
that's what a boy risks his lifa
with over the mountains every
night.
