Copyright, 1936, by Paul Mallon
WASHINGTON. Oct. 17. The sig
nificant news behind moat of the
labor news these days la that labor
leading Is In the
big money.
Despite the re
cent econ o m, 1 c
reformation, It la
still possible to
Judge the power
of some men and
move men Is by
the size of their
treasury. You
can scrape many
a fundame n ta 1
domestic or in
ternational situ
ation and find
the answer In the cash box.
On that basis, the tale of Mr. John
Lew la and his contest with Mr. Wil
liam Oreen may be roughly told In
the following official figures:
Mr. Lewis' U. M. W. treasury bal
ance, December, 1935. 12,289,031.42.
Mr. Green's A. P. of L. balance,
1935 fiscal year, $020,954.53.
Two years before (1933), Mr. Lewis'
United Mine Workers Union grossed
only enough to accumulate a year
end, balance of 9312,000. hardly
enougb to run a third -class strike In
Nova Scotia. His 1935 U. M. W. In
come was eight times that much, or
about 82,300,000. His Income for the
last six months of '30 was $1,299,
072.59, which was a quarter of a
million dollars more than the A. F of
Ta Income Tor the whole year. $1,032.
475.31. .
And this was before Mr. Lewis and
his C. I. O. union contributions were
lost to the A. P. of L. by severance
of diplomatic relations. This year,
the disparity will be much wider. In
Mr. Lewis' favor.
Note Some of Mr. Green's unions
have big money, too, one reputedly
18,000,000, but the above comparison
Is apt. For one reason. Mr Lewis Is
the C. I. O. and the United Mine
Workers, while Mr. Green Is only the
president of the A. F. of U
Mr. Lewis' O. I. O. headquarters
here Is not much more than a mail
ing address. It Is boused in three
small offfces In a downtown building
and provides .standing room for visi
tors. Mr. Lewis does not work there.
Hli union headquarters la the entire
floor of one of the beet office build
ings in town, the one In which the
ctlme commission boused Itself some
years ago and provoked some criti
cism for extravagant furnishings. The
suite Is furnished with chairs of
natural leather color and desks aa
expensive as those of any steel execu
tive. There is a reception room in
which a Bryn Mawr graduate attends
the telephone, a small and a Urge
conference room, a library, a lobby
and Mr. Lewis corner office, aa well
ai about ten more offlcea for the
workers.
The appearance and atmosphere of
the place tre that of an up-to-date
and highly successful business or
gsnlratlon, which is a decided con
trast with the unpretentious furnlsh
lrgs In the old A. P. of L. building
cr the old pictures of labor leaders
assembled In the back room.
The C. I. O. Is spending about
$70,000 a month In its drive to or-
ganire the steel Industry. The rent
on Its Pittsburgh headquarters Is
supposed to be $1,000 per month, and
It baa thirty-five sub-regional opera
tors, 10 full-time field directors,
eighty part-time organizers and 5,000
volunteer organisers, all working out
of Pittsburgh, Birmingham and Chi
csgo.
It can go on Indefinitely. The
original C. I. O. fund did not tap
the treasury of U. M. W. or other
unions, but was merely an Initial
assessment, contributed as follows:
$250,000 to be raised by special
asswmeiU in the U. M. W.
$235,000 to be raised by $1 assess
ment on each member of David Du
blnsky'a International Ladles' Gar
ment Workers.
$100,000 to be raised by member
ship assessments on Sidney Hlllman'i
Amalgamated Clothing Workers,
$10,000 voted by Max Zarltsky's
Cap and Ministry Department of the
Cloth Hat, Cap and Millinery union.
In addition to this $858,000. there
It to be a per capita assessment of
one cent per member per month vot
ed by the comparatively young Unit
ed Rubber Workers.

than these In Wall Street today.

Use Of Recordings Of Pres
ident's Speeches Held
Violation Of Rules Ex
planations Given.
CHICAGO, Oct. 17. A nation
wide radio address by Senator Arthur
H. Vandenberg (Republican, Michi
gan) was cut off the eastern division
of the Columbia broadcasting , com
pany chain tonight In tha midst of a
speech directed agalnf-t President
Roosevelt.
H. Leslie Atlas, vice-president of
Columbia, said the addriss was cut
off stations In the east oy the chain's
New York officials "because the pro
gram Included phonographic record
ings in violation .of the company s
rules.'
Atlas said the address. Interspersed
with recordings of speeches made by
President Roosevelt In 19S2 and 1933.
was broadcast by the major portion
of the Columbia chain's member sta
tions.
The chain official said be had been
assured by Hill Blackett, public rela
tions director for the republican na
tional committee, sponsors of Van-
denberg'a address, that recordings
were not to bo used In connection
with the broadcast.
Fifteen minutes before the broad
cast was scheduled to be delivered.
Atlas said. Blackett admitted that the
address called for tho use of records.
Atlas said ho then announced per
sonally to listeners that It was a.
v tola t Ion of the company 'a rules to
broadcast recordings and that the
senator's address would have to be de-
live red minus the recorded effects.
Shortly after Senator Vandenberg
had begun his speech, Atlas said he
reconsidered his action and' ordered
the recordings cut In.
"Althoug part of the senator's ad
dress was cut In New York," Atlas
said, "other stations carried the en
tire program. Although sr. exception
was mnde In this case, there will be
no further exceptions during which
electrical transcriptions or recordings
will be played on the Columbia net
work." After the broadcast Vandenberg
said:
"I know nothlna about radio rules.
I only know competent and conclusive
experts said we complied with the
rules. But rules or no rules, we have
come to a pretty pass In the United
States when radio ceusors or other
overlords can tell us we dare not
faithfully confront candidates for
high office with their own words.
their own voice, their own broken
promises.
"We evidently have a new issue in
this campaign, and In the Jeopardy of
legitimate freedom."
Blackett charged that "It was an
other example of Intimidation of ra
dio stations by the federal radio com
mission."
In his address. Senator Vandenberg
criticised President Roosevelt for an
asserted repudiation of the 1932 demo
cratic platform in a radio program
part of which was broadcast. In which
the recorded voice of th president
was Interpolated.
The program was sponsoied by the
republican national committee, which
described It as an "innovation In Doll
tlcal campaigning." The no me of the
second "Internationally known'
speaker (the recorded voice of the
president) was withheld in advance
notices of the program.
Senator Vandenberg, addressing
Himself to the president in what he
called a "fireside chat,' asked him
about his statements on tho constitu
tion, the democratic platform, con
duct of government, taxe. the oud
get, social movements and unemploy
ment.
In each case a voice. Introduced as
that of the president taken from bis
1932 and 1933 radio speeches, spoke
briefly. Senator Vandenberg then re.
plied.
"Yesterday's utterly shattered prom-
lses," Vandenberg said at the conclu
sion of bis review of the platform
"emphasize and prove the absolute
Impossibility of relying upon any of
today's assurances for tomorrow."

LAUDSJEW DEAL
Defends President Against
Communist Charge
Descries Violent Abuse By
All Parties.
UVALDE. Tex., Oct. 17. (AP) Vice-
President John N. Garner declared to
night In his first speech of the cam
paign that the admlnlslration's pro
gram represents "the highest type of
true American conservatism" and that
'the safest thing that could happen
to this country is the re-election of
President Roosevelt."
In a natton-wldo broadcast from
his borne, the vice-president defended
the president against charges that he
welcomed communist support, assert
ing that "Franklin D. Roosevelt Is
no more of a communist than I am
and In my own county I am generally
estimated aa a hard-headed business
man."
He said: "The one outstanding and
dominating Issue of this campaign is
whether you think Mr, Roosevelt or
Mr. London la better qualified to
conduct the business of the federal
government for the next four years,
'I do not pretend that eveivthlng
done by the administration was des-
tltute of errors, but 1 do insist that
the mistakes were mere fly specks
compared with the aggregate good
that was accomplished.. -, --,
I had thought that In this canv
palgn the electorate was going to be
asked to Judge the Roosevelt admin.

with the theories and policies which
tho Republican party Intended to
present.
That la the way in which cam
paigns have been fought In the past.
That la not the way, however, in
which the challenging party In con
ducting the campaign this year.
am unable to find that either the
Republican candidates or any of the
leaders of the party have made a
clear, frank and Mil exposition of
what they hope to do If they are
placed in office."
At the outset of his speech, the
vice-president decried the "intomper-
ate language and violent" abuse com
ing from all parties in the campaign
He said the charge that President
Roosevelt is an enemy to business ta
"perhaps the most grotesque of the
arguments advanced by the minority
party candidates, and those who are
their allies for revenue only."
I think t am as much concerned
with the Integrity of the affairs o!
commerce and finance aa the next
citizens." he continued.
I have no fear either for mysell
or for my children that unbearable
taxes will be required to meet the
burden the federal government bad
to assume in the face of disasters
heaped upon the destitution brought
on by ttje depression.
x ne preside hub ioiu yuu uin
If the present upward course of bust'
ness continues, no higher taxes are on
the way. From long experlet.ee with
the president, I am able to staie that
he Is given neither to undue opu
mlsm nor to reckless statements In
any direction."

Action Would Further Iso
late France Fears Loss
Of Ally Forever.
(By the Associated Press)
Little Belgium, historic battlefield
for the armies of tho world, last night
(Saturday) shook tho Intricate frame
work of Europe's Interlocking alli
ances.
It was reported in Paris that the
Belgian foreign minister P. Henry
Speak, intimated to French ambus-
sodar Jules Lo Roche that Belgium
ultimately would withdraw from all
treaties pledging Belgian military as
sistance.
Belgium, the foreign minister said.
probably would abandon her mutual
assistance pact with Prance, remain
out of any Locarno five-power treaty.
and abridge her obligations to other
nations under the Lengue ot Na
tions covenant.
For tho present, however. Prance
was assured Belgium "would respect
existing pacts.
The other Locarno signatories aro
France, Great Britain, Germany and
Italy. The Locarno pact has been so
weakened aa to be almost obsolete In
Europe's collective security ever since
Germany rearmed the dc-mllltftrlrrd
Kb me land last March.
With German and Belgian al?nce
from the pact, Frauce would h we
only Britain and Italy among big
powers to look to for future plans
concerning the collective security of
Europe.
France has a mutual assistance pact
with Russia, but the Kremllnn was
gravely concerned last night, express
ing belief the Belgian defections
would cause Prance to build an en
tirely new fortification system for her
northern frontiers.
If Belgium, as It was predicted au
thoritatively, curtails her support of
other league nations, France would
be further Isolated Internationally.
Great Britain and Russia would be
the only other European first rank
powers left backing league decisions.

SALEM. Ore., Oct. 17, (AP) Gov
ernor Martin said today he would
make neither promises nor threats"
In the pending waterfront strike,
'but would act when the time cornea,

This was tho reply the oxecutlve

state should take Immediate action
toward smooth settlement of the sit

flected In local wheat quotations and
refusal to accept shipments.
The appeal was made following the
meeting of the directors at Arlington
a week ago. The governor said he
would file the letter recti ved from
the president, B. H. Miller, but ''at
the same time I am watching the

nothing can be done by the state

' Already, in anticipation of
such a condition, wheat shipments
have been refused from several east

price offered at our local, shipping
points already reflects this possible
situation.
"As American cltleeni we deplore
