WASHINGTON. Feb. 27. The big
get Washington mystery now Is "the
aecret 100," It la supposed to be a
gumshoe gang of 100 bouse members
banded together
clandestinely to
radicalise the
new deal and the
nation.

in their rubbers so their shoes will
not '.-'.ueak.
The only thing generally known
about It Is that nobody knows any
thing about It. Therein lies the real
secret of It, which la that It Is Just
a little too secret. It exists In hope
and not In fact.
What ecms to have happened Is
this:
The leaders of the various theory
groups have been buzzing with each
other. They need not be smart to
realize they are not going to get any
where with their pet theories this
session unless they first get together.
The 30-hour week zealots need the
help of the silver boys, bonusltea and
Inflationists, and vice versa.
No meetings have been held, no or
ganization formed. A couple of con
gressmen and newsmen laughingly
suggested that the idea be drama-:
ttzed with the appelatlon, "the secret
100.' The truth is they hope they
can muster 100 votes to do or die for
all their legislative stunts. On some
issues they will get more than 100.
but on most far less.
V 'TMPS Is nothing particularly new
J about It.
It Is Just the same old log-rolling
Idea that originated with the first
congress that ever assembled. Also,
virtually the same radical labor
groups got together at the end of
the last session and merrily played
havoc for a while. m
This faternlty legislation idea may
sound to you like an over-riramatlzed
Joke, but the truth is 'that It Is at
the root of all of President Roose
Telfs current troubles with congress.
The serious thing behind the with
drawal of the relief bill, for Instance,
was not what happened at that time,
but what was going to happen. All
you know 1 that the senate defeat
ed Mr. Roosevelt on the prevailing
wage, but what Mr. Roosevelt knew
was that the bonus and silver amend
ments to his relief bill were coming
up next. After them will come the
social security legislation (Townsend
plan amendment) and NRA reorgani
zation (30hour week amendment.)
The president must crush these
forming congressional groups now,
else In a month cr two they may
run away with him and his new
deal.
If the present plan of whipping up
public sentiment nglnst the senate
on the prevailing wage scale fails to
restore Mr. Roosevelt's congressional
prestige, you' will ee him make other
moves to do It a fireside radio talk
or a public appeal.
There is hardly a chance for him
to lose In the end. but the situation
will require some clever Jockeying be
fore he Is through with it.
Ever' White House occupant has
hud stories concocted about him
which are not exactly accurate, but
might be. It is a penalty of great
ness. One now going the rounds con
cerns a Hyde Park neiehbor who If.
suposed to hae dropped in to shake
hands with Mr. Roosevelt. He kept
savin he only wanted to thake
hands, but Mr. Roosevelt was cus
tomarily cordial and refused to let
him go.
The embarrassed neighbor kept
moving toward the door, but finally
the president insisted that he go
over to the executive mansion to chat
with Mrs. Roosevelt. Calllnz nn at
tendant. Mr. Roosevelt aked that
the nelffhbor be escorted over for
that purpose, whereupon the attend
ant replied: "Didn't you know Mrs.
Roosevelt has not been here for three
da vp?''
The underlying condltton In con
sres li essentially no different than
last session. In customary sheep-ltke
fashion, both houses are splitting
into to groups, radical and conser
vative. You might call the radicals
the Huey Long type. Only a few arc
really Long men. but they share In
one or more particulars the idea of
running off with the country. The
innwratne group might be calkd
the C'ar'er (ili's t'.ilnkers, who fharc
in varying decrees his distrust of the
new deal.

Steel Company Case
LOUISVILLE, Ky.. Feb. 37. (AP)
Granting 35 western Kentucky coal
operators a writ preventing the gov
ernment from enforcing the bitu
minous coal code. Federal Judge
Charles I. Dawson declared here to
day "the citizens of this country
have the right to conduct thetr busi
ness without unconstitutional inter
ference or regulation by governmen
tal authority."
WILMINOTJON, Del . F-b. 27. V7
The federal government lost a major
battle under the National Industrial
Recovery act today with a ruling by
Judge John P. Nle.ds that section
7-A la "unconstitutional and void"
as applied to the Weirton Steel com
pany and Its business.
The decision denied the govern
ment's plea for an injunction to re
strain the company from dealing col
lectively with its employes througn
the so-called company union and
held that the union la adequate un
der the act.
"The enactment of section 7-A
either Is authorized by the commerce
clause of the constitution or It Is
unauthorized and void." Judge Nlelds
ruled. He further ruled that "the
manufacturing operations conducted
by the defendant In :ts various plants
or mills do not constitute interstate
commerce.
Not Interstate Commerce
"The relations between defendant
and Its employes do not affect Inter
state commerce. Manufacturing 1a a
cooperative enterpr'sc. Product'on in
quantities find quality with conse
quent wages, salaries and dividends
depends upon a sympathetic coopera
tion of management and workmen
"By a clear preponderance of evi
dence this court finds that the plan
of employe representation In effect
among the employes of the defendant
affords a lawful and effective organi
zation of the employes for collective
bargaining through representatives of
their own chocslng; that in all
spects it complies with the provisions
of section 7-A of the National in

article four, of the steel code; tlm
