WASHINGTON, D. C, June 33.
Soma new chapters will bo added to
the political cookbooka when the
kltcben secrets of
this administra
tion are out.
What these new
'Meal cooka did to
the eteel . strike
situation Is a
choice chaptor In
Itself.
, The high ten
sion strike lead
er, were In con
trol up until a
few days ago.
Their strike plans
hul been made.
Pan! SUUIon
Everything was ready for their steel
kettle to explode.
All of a sudden the high tenslon
Ists found themselves In the Ice box.
When they looked around there was
the similarly high tension federal ne
gotiator, General Johnson, sitting In
the cooler alongside .them
; Control of tbe situation had passed
suddenly back to the easy-going steel
labor leader, Mike Tigbe. and to soft
voiced Prances Perkins, the labor sec
retary for President Roosevelt.
; This happy change was not accom
plished as naturally as It looked.
Some very vigorous spoon-stirring wss
done on the Inside by the Joint co
' operation of Mr. Roosevelt and Mr.
Tlghe. How Mr. Tlghe won the labor
convention over from the rank and
file agitators In ft series of meetings
In his hotel room is a, story he will
have to tell.
. Nearly everyone aeema to be satls
fled now. Labor has far more confi
dence In Madame Perkins than In
General-Johnson. Under Tlghe's lead
ership It will play along toward
calmer plan for holding labor union
elections. Its rsnk and file leader
ship had clearly carried it too far
toward, an angry strike. "The strike
issue Is not settled,, but It has been
delsyed. at least for two or three
months.
There are two opposite inside views
about the national, labor situation
now. You can get one from a con
gressional labor expert who could not
speak frankly if he spoke openly. In
private he says:
"I am very worried about Mr. Roose
velt' going off to Hawaii. He Is the
onlv man In the country who could
handle a national iBbor uprising if It
came. In view of the labor feeling
In the various sections of the country
(the dock strike on the Pacific coast,
the steel, automobile and other equa
tions). I believe there Is Just an out
side chance that the labor question
n become nstlonslly serious."
A calmer view is reflected by a labor
spokesman of the administration, wno
whispers:
, "The labor situation cannot become
nationally serious any time soon.
There have been many strikes, but
there la little relation and no co-ordi
nation among them. They are being
settled swiftly. Organisations of la
bor and their leadership are not yet
very strong. They cannot afford to
take the bit In their teeth. They are
toe. sensible to try It.
"Everything will be Ironed out grad.
ually during the course of the next
year, without any more trouble than
we are having now.': .
It Is supposed to be a secret, and it
may be kept as one, that certain In
dustrial leaders will hold what
amounts to an open-shop meeting at
o a certain hotel In Chicago within a
few days. They will organize to con
test the lsbor program- of the admin
titration.
The call for the meeting specified
that the matter should be kept conn
dentlsl. Uninvited guests will not
be permitted to attend. The admin
istration already knowa all about It,
I Several business leaders had
highly confidential plsn at the Hot
Springs NRA meeting to aprlng some
thlng hot on the labor subject. They
had figured out a substitute for the
NRA program. It would have aoit
ened the labor featurca and made the
NRA fundamentally a ce-opcratlve
business movement.
Wiser hesds prevailed upon the
authors of the plan to keep It un
sprung In their pockets. It would
not have been adopted, If offered
but It would have caused a tremen
dous fuss.
The result was that the meeting
went off smoothly In a sympatheti
cally NRA vein.
There Is so much news in Washing
ton now that It sometimes takes
year for a congressman to find out
what Is going on.
Recently, a group of western manu
facturera wired their congressman
urging him to sppesr for them at sn
NRA code bearing. He did. making
one of his best speeches, and con
cluded with an outraged demand that
bla manufacturers be given a code.
"But," said the administrator In
charge, "this Industry has V.-d ft code

Guess you read about tlin
outlaws with a big truck (with
a winch attachment on it)
backed up to tho bank to kid
nap the safe. Everybody in
town camo down to sco tho
show. Due to tho outlaws hav
ing done no physical work in
ao long, they wasn't stout
enough to load it, but . they
notified the bank that they
will be back right away and
that tho bnnk is to have
smaller safe.
The future of bank robberies
is to arrange some way to
charge admission. So many peo
ple aro soeing robberies free is
what's killing the business.
