WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. Splits are
the rage In Washington these days.
The banana variety has now been
supplemented by one which. It Is In
sisted In certain labor circles, smells
decidedly of banana oil.
This one Is the reported C. I. O.
leadership "split," and there seems
to be some evidence that It Isn't
quite what It seems.
Long ago, those who were supposed
to understand the strategy of the
O. I. O. campaign and the difficul
ties that might arise, predicted that
Sidney HUlman, suave, diplomatic,
soft-spoken, was to be put out In
front If gruff John Lewis proved too
tough a proposition for public opin
ion to accept.
When Mr. Hlllman visited the
White House last week no statement
was issued, but the event provided
basis for a report, which was not of
ficially confirmed or denied at that
time, that Mr, Hlllman would lead
the C. I. O. column from now on.
C. I. O. knows that the nearer John
Lewis gets to the White House the
more the anti-New Dealers cheer.
It Is no secret that certain politi
cally sensitive members of the labor
department likewise are subject to
the "too-much-Lewla'' affliction.
There is a- significant story behind
at least one senate vote on the wage
and hours bill.
It reveals, between the lines, how
some of the not-too-vocal conserva
tives in the Democratic party may
remain within the New Deal fold
and still manage to bait their hooks
for some of thlr conservative sup
porters back home.
The vote referred to was Senator
Bulkley's and It shows a formula
which may be adopted for others who
would like to run with the hares
and hunt with the hounds. - -: ----
The Ohio senator, whose support
ers are by no means confined to
those who might be classified among
the forgotten men and women, said
"no" to the wages and hours propo
sition. Thereby, it is stated, he won
back considerable conservatlce sup
port that he needs In next year's
primaries.
Senator Bulk ley, it will be remem
bered, was one of the "stalwarts"
who voted against recommitting the
