By PAUL MALL ON
(Copyright, 1935. by Paul Mallon)
WASHINGTON. Feb. 25. The mail
man la the biggest Influence In con
gres. He can spread n Inside alarm
faster than any
, one else. Even the
President can
not generally
prevail against
him.
9 This tells the
whole inside story
of what hap
p e n e d to Mr.
Roosevelt In his
relief wage dis
pute with the
senate. Of course
there is a suspi
cion that the
PALI. MALLON
man behind the mailman In this
presidential defeat was Mr. William
(Dear Bill) Green of the A. P. of L.
r4t least his labor rainmakers Inspired
as much of the postal deluge as they
could.
This Is only a symptom, however,
of a much more serious Inner situa
tion now being created In congress
by letters from the folks back home.
Several senators (most of them mid
western) will tell you privately that
their mail a year ago was largely made
up of demands that they stand by
the President. Now they can show
BT'"' .V, i
rfflm
vou stacks of letters demanding thatjln? now- men on a anow P,ow
r.tet tv,- Hict.inn of hrnni were killed when struck by a train
relief powers which the President has
been seeking.
Stfh evidence may not maen any
thing so far as gauging public senti
ment Is concerned. But it certainly
means congressmen, particularly the
new ones, are mulling new thoughts
in their minds.
What hurt Mr. Roosevelt so much
was the fact that his letter of per
sonal appeal was read to the senate
just before the vote. It may now be
denied, but that letter would not
have been read had he known he was
going to bo defeated. It was sub
mitted because he had erroneous pri
vate information about the expected
result.
Somewhat the same slip-up occur
red In the world court ftght. The
President had no Information then
that he was going to be licked, until
It was too late to do anything about
It.
This matter was taken up Inside
the White House the day after the
wage defeat. Some new arrangements
are going to be made whereby Mr.
Roosevelt may know more accurately
how the senate Is lined up. There
la some tik about an arrangement
whereby the leaders report to him
twice a day on such important mat
te. From a practical standpoint, the
defeat did not amount to much. Mr.
Roosevelt will get the kind of relief
bill he wants after the senate gets
through with It. The house will
stand by him and force the senate to
retreat from the position It Is now
taking.
You may have noticed that the Very
day of the 6enate detent. Speaker
Byrnes announced to the house that
10.000 Jobs In the CCC were golnR to
be allotted to congressmen for distri
bution. That gravy bowl came In the nick
of time. Some Democrats in the
house have been very much displeas
ed at the way the senators have been
rebelling and getting In good with
the labor vote. House Democratic
members had to stand by the Presl
dent and take their chances on In
curring the wrath of labor voters.
They do not think that was fair.
