WASHINGTON. Feb. 7. The cur
rent in-fighting between labor lead
ers and new dealers Is no parlor
game. There has
rarely been such
biting and
sera tchlng In
the clinches on
any Issue, but If
you . will look
closely you will
see that each
parti cipant Is
being very care
ful about whom
he scratches.
Most of the
fingernail work
has been done
PAUL MALI. UN
so far on the hide or Donald Ricn
v berg, the new deal adviser who is
frequently miscalled "assistant pres
ident." Mr. Richberg makes an ideal
victim for both sides.
He was selected first by the A.
F. L.-ers Green and Lewis. There
Is nothing Insincere about their dis
like of him. They have an old score
to settle with this ex-labor attor
ney, and their private Intention Is
to force President Roosevelt to drop
him in self-defense. That, however.
' is a comparatively personal matter.
Th e rea 1 rea son Mr. R ich berg
makes such an excellent goat from
a labor standpoint Is that fighting I
against him does not call for a I
break with the White House. I
tv whit Hnnte iiirc. that anerir
of It also.
You can see this underlying motll
in the fact ' that, while labor claws
at Mr. Richberg. it Is paying suit
to Secretary Perkins. Publicly. labor
Is accepting inside word from the
labor department that Madame Sec
retary knew nothing of the nuto
code renewal, and if she had. Mr.
Richberg would not have been able
I to mislead the president.
It Is true most labor leaders do
not believe this. They cannot under
stand how the labor secretary could
have been snubbed by the White
House on a matter which was con
sidered to be one of her pet sub
jects. Indeed, some skeptical labor
ttes are suggesting that she kept
Mr. Green away from the White
House, stalling him along, until Mr.
Richberg could finish misleading the
president. It is not customary for
everyone connected with a labor dis
pute to tell the truth, so this mat
ter may have to be left to a Jury.
But mentioning it will give you an
Idea of how bitter the fight is
and how careful.
Through this confusion there arc
certain rays of light. One is that
the new deal labor policy Is yet
undetermined, but it will not long
remain so. The question of free
self-determination of union affilia
tion for workers is now in the
courts (Houdc, Wclrton cases). These
V decisions will have far more to do
with determining new deal labor
policy than the auto code.
Also evident is the fact that the
White Hou&c is not particularly
sfrald of the A. F. of L., which has
about 3.000.000 members among the
26,000.000 wage earners. And the A.
F. of L. Is not particularly anxious
to break with anyone except Mr.
Richberg.
No funeral will be held for Sen
ator Borah's resolution to tnvesti
gate religious persecution in Mexico,
but it will be burled some dark
night without you knowing about
It. A rather general private under
standing exists among members oi
the senate foreign relations com
mittee that they will not even take
up the resolution if they can pos
sibly avoid it. The reason is that
they do not consider It a proper
function for a senate committee.
The state department is trying
hard not to say so, but It Is neaa
set against the proposal for fear
or diplomatic effect in Latin Amer
ica.

the ladder evidence by which the

with the kidnaping and murder of

The youth used a plane with pen

pay wages below those prevailing

however, by restoration of one pro

president to acquire property, by
purchase or the power of eminent
domain and to "Improve, develop.
grant, sell, lease (with or without
the privilege of purchasing! or

Chairman Glass (D.. Va.) ex

While sleet pounded against the :
windows of a lonely outpost high ln
the snow bound Sierra Nevada moun- j
tains, 25 year old Clarence Freeh- j
ette, one time aviator, told rarly to- j
day a gruesome story of violent death i
and a transcontinental automobile
ride with the body of a man he ad
mitted killing.
The story was taken down by Capt.
Joseph Blake, of the highway patrol,
after he and two other officers had
wrung an agreement from the sus
pected man to tell how the body of
Robert Brown happened to be In a
trunk inan automobile Frechette
was driving.
"What did you kill him for?" be
gan Blake.
Tells Murder Story
"I killed hiin well. 111 tell you
the story." replied the rather tall,
well dressed French-American, his
vol ice showing signs of strong emo
tion.
Ho said ho had been working for
Brown driving a truck and hauling
freight.
"Well, because of Brown's Inabil
ity, and he had nlentv of It on ac
count of ftinning around with wo
men and paying no attention to busi
ness. I lost the truck," Frechette re
lated. He Indicated Brown held the lien
on the truck and attempted to col
lect $75 from him although the ma
chine already had been sold.
The afternoon of January 29 he
said they left Kalamazoo, driving In
an automobile owned by Brown's
mother, and Intended to go to Pon

listening to an orchestra playing over
the machine's radio and betting with
Brown the name of the conductor.
He said he won the bet.
Quarrel Over Girl
They stopped at a town named
Howell and ate dinner. Leaving the
town they stopped again and Brown
began bragging about his affairs,
Frechette related.

there was one girl who had nothing

An announcement released today
by local relief administrative offici

and wages to become effective on all
SERA work division projects ln Jack
son county. February 8. A decrease
of twenty percent la the present wage
scale will become effective on that
dato and will apply ln this propor
tion to all classifications of labor. A
compensating increase of twenty five
percent ln the hours of labor now
being performed in each individual
case will be effective on that date to
prevent any decrease In the planned
earnings of any individual partici
pating In the work relief program.
The function of the works division
program of the BERA is primarily not
of an employment nature but was
carefully, worked out in its inception
for the purpose of administering re
lief in the most desirable form.
Many Improvements beneficial to
the citizens of Jackson county, arc
