Where Oldsters Fear Bismarck's Junior Association of Commerce shows both | imagination and daring in its determination to sponsor a trade day on August 4 at which a barbecue will be the principal attraction. The idea has been suggested to the senior associa- tion in the past but always the obstacles have seemed insuper- able. The younger business men, however, rush in where older men have feared to tread. The result will be worth watching. The proposal also shows a keen understanding of human nature. Philosophers long ago advised womankind that the way to a man’s heart was through his stomach and cities, seek- ing to promote trade, may well apply the same reasoning to the pocketbook. Even those who do not particularly care for barbecued meat will come to see it. An extensive barbecue is worth watching, not to mention the fact that an expert can make the meat well worth eating. This enterprise is in tune with the spirit of both the old West and the West of today. Barbecues long rated ace high as attractions in these parts and many old-timers have fond memories of similar events in the long ago. Barbecues smack of the chuck wagon and the long trail. There is a sort of ro- mance about them. This affair is in harmony with the spirit of the New West because the new grew out of the old, imperceptibly, and it still is characteristic of these parts to invite the neighbors in for a good time. If they leave their money with local merchants in exchange for the bargains to be offered on that day—well, then no one becomes a loser. Bismarck should look forward to this barbecue. The most serious trouble which the Junior Association is likely to en- counter is they may have so many local customers that visitors may get slighted. Clear-Headed Thinking State Treasurer John Gray gave members of the Kiwanis club some straight talk on the liquor and financial situations Tuesday and the entire state could profitably take note of what he said. For Gray is no extremist on these subjects. He looks at them with open eyes and, with clear-headed appraisal of all the facts. When he says that the liquor business needs cleaning up in some areas and that some chiselers need to be rooted out he does those legitimately engaged in the sale of alcoholic bever- ages a distinct favor. There are plenty of good people in the liquor business and only a few bad ones, but the good will get hurt along with the bad unless every liquor establishment is operated in accordance with the law and the public conscience. In his efforts to assist the better elements in the liquor industry and local officials to improve existing conditions, Gray is technically stepping outside the job which the law allots to ‘him. He could confine his activities to the sale of liquor stamps and never be subject to blame. But Gray isn’t that kind of a public official. He is officially closer to the liquor industry than any other state officer and when he sees an opportunity to improve conditions he is likely to go ahead and do it. That is the explanation for his recent trip around the state during which he looked into conditions as they actually exist. His work is likely to do more good in making conditions what they ought to be than any reform movement, carried on spas- modically and perhaps without too much intelligence. Gray also spoke the truth when he advised his hearers, as business men and taxpayers, to get ready to shoulder a large part of the state’s bonded indebtedness. That will be a bitter pill but there is no reason to sugar-coat it. Gray does the state a service when he talks facts in terms that the average citizen cannot fail to understand. ‘Free’ American Labor Despite the short-sightedness of some industrial and finan- cial leaders, labor’s worst enemy in America is the self-seeking and hypocritical labor leader. For illustration take a look at the strike in the plant of the Seattle Star. The strike began when 19 circulation employes of the news- Paper were replaced by members of the Seattle Teamsters union. If you wonder what right a teamster has to usurp the job of a newspaper worker it merely shows that you don’t under- stand conditions in Seattle. The town is controlled by labor racketeers, working through the Teamsters union. That group elected the mayor and he works hand in glove with them. So powerful is the union that everyone tries to join it, just as many join, whatever political organization happens to be dominant at the moment. Why the Star discharged its regular employes and put mem- bers of the Teamsters union in their places is undisclosed, but it is only fair to assume that there must have been a cogent reason. This supposition is strengthened by the offer of Mayor Dore, teamster-controlled official, to “clean house” around the Star building and thus break the strike. The fact that the newspaper rejected the offer, choosing to go ahead with an arbitration Proceeding under the guidance of a federal labor agent, may be taken as evidence that the news- Paper management is just as resentful of Teamster union dom- ~ ination as are the striking employes, All of this happens in “free” woe. Tom Girdler Does All Roaring, but Bethiehem’s Eugene Grace, Famous for Own Million-Dollar Bonuses, Supplies Backbone for Battle with cro. By RODNEY DUTCHER {Tribune Washington ) Washington, July 8.—The man who stood out in front and fought the CIO and the president’s stee) strike medi- ation board was Tom Girdler of the Republic Steel corporation. But the man who supplied the real {backbone and force of the battle of ‘the independent companies against labor organization was President Eugene Grace of the Bethlehem cor- poration. All those who have had in- timate contact with the strike and the efforts to settle it agree that if Grace and Bethlehem, second largest concern in the industry, had not stood out against John L. Lewis, there probably would have been no major Strike. Members of the mediation board privately report that Grace acted the part of a pleasant, reasonable gentle- man while Girdier made all the noise when the would-be-mediators met the steel men. * * * Had Most to Lose It appears that Bethlehem had most to lose. It may not be true, as CIO leaders insist, that Grace worked on Wall Street banking influences to get Republic into the fight against Lewis. Girdler always has fought the unions and is understood to have ambitions to head a steel merger which will outrank the United States Steel corporation, But the union also charges that Bethlehem has a lower wage struc- ture than other steel companies and that this, plus the fact that it imports most of its ore, gives it a competi- pve advantage it would be loath to lose. And this charge has more substan- tiation. A survey just completed by the bureau of labor statistics, shows that the average steel worker whose work was spread over 52 weeks of the year earned at the time of the survey $1,043 in the Eastern district, $1,063 in the Southern district, $1,123 in the Pittsburgh district and $1,177 in the Great Lakes-Middlewestern district. The significance of these figures lies in the fact that practically all of the industry in the Eastern district is et the Bethlehem plants in Bethle- hem, Pa., Johnstown, Pa., and Spar- tows Point, Md. * * * Grace the Strongest Figure United States Steel has sought to get uniform wage structure in the industry in order to eliminate this competitive advantage, and Bethle- hem has struggled to preserve that advantage, according to authorities. Grace has been outstanding spokes- man on the steel industry and. prob- ably its strongest figure. since Judge Gary's rule over the industry ended with his death. Recently he achieved the election of Girdler as president of the American Iron and Steel In- stitute. United States Steel backed its president, William A. Irvin. But Girdler voted for himself and won by-one vote. é Inasmuch as Grace now appears to stand out as the first major indus- trislist who has given John Lewis a set-back, his star in the industrial firmament hardly seems to be fading. Heretofore one of his chief distinc- tions has been as a recipient of cash bonuses from his corporation. Even though something might be wrong with official government figures as to the wages of his employes, there is no question that Grace collected some three million dollars in bonuses—and in one year a million. ** * No More Millions Roosevelt is said once to have told & departing visitor: “You can tell Gene Grace he will never make a mil- lion-dollar bonus again.” At last re- ports Grace's salary was $180,000 a year. A university graduate, Grace went w work for Bethlehem 38 years ago as an electric crane operator. He had worked up to be general mana- ger by 1908 and became president in 1916. In pre-war and war years, Bethlehem made more munitions than any other corporation in the world and expanded enormously. Grace was a pioneer in the establishment of Although United States Steel is still far bigger than Bethlehem it has no leader comparable to Grace, and Grace can boast that whereas United States Steel yielded to John eceeem and its allies fought it out (Copyright, 1987, NEA Service, Inc.) | BARBS ] shave untl hs union. was Fecounise, ve unt was ; ‘& gag 20 Old it has whiskers, sek The New Yorker who lost a finger landing a tarpon will be an exam; for anglers who keep yelling they'd give an arm for a dey on ‘ eee Science's “iron lung” might be applied to some lecture to consider carefully.

Copyright 1937, by The Baltimore Sun ' CLUBS AND KISSES One of the developments, not with- out humor, which has followed the Jefferson Island picnic, flows from the concerted efforts by friends of the administration to change the psychology of the senate situation on the eve of the court bill debate. Chiefly these efforts concern them- selves with that scalding judiciary committee report, which recommend- ed the measure be rejected “so em- phatically that never again would such @ proposal be made.” Inasmuch as this is the first time there has been an attempt to reply to what concededly is an historic and un- precedented rebuke from a senate committee to a president (it having been, in the opinion of the official presidential defenders, “too hot to handle” at the time)—in view of this, it is interesting to consider the facts. As a reply to an indictment it is certainly as unique as it is ingenious; simple and at the same time subtle; amusing and yet witha skillful touch of pathos; in a class by itself, a per- fect piece of bait for the boobs. The essence of it is this—over on the lovely island, captured by the justly famous charm, the bad, bad old sena- tors who had written so rudely of our who are just dying to ideas off. their chests. - 5 good and noble. president suddenly became ashamed of themselves when they found, instead of being mad he smiled upon them kindly, exuding warmth, cordiality and forgiveness. And those not ashamed, we, are informed, became frightened when they discovered they had hurt them- selves more than they hurt the pres- ident; that all the wavering sena- tors had resolved to support the president just to show that they are ‘not in accord with the words used to describe his motives in trying to pack the supreme court, It is submitted that that takes the well-known cake. As a defense to a serious charge made by’ responsible men it is certainly without parallel. in politics. And it is rendered the more remarkable by the singular fact that the people who present this interesting picture of a Roosevelt without rancor or feeling, magnanimously beaming upon his critics, at the same time assert that underneath he is deeply resentful of the committee castigation and will not forget the names of the senators responsible. In other words, they contradict themselves. One set of interpreters paints him las a president big and benevolent, who, to quote the completely misin- formed Lady Astor, “does not hate back,” while another, on the same Gay, gives a list of the Democratic senators who oppose him on court bill and relief, declaring that they are marked men, betrayers of the cause of humanity, New Deal deserters, soon to be thrown into the political bone yard. Thus we have two views of Mr. Roosevelt presented by his friends as a reply to an attack made by members of his own party so direct ‘and unequivocal as to amount almost to an impeachment, One exhibits him as devoid of resentment, plan- ning no reprisals; sweet, noble, kind and generous, secure in the belief that the right will prevail and that the is right. The other portrayal is that of a vengeful man, keeping close tab on his foes, wanting no reconcili- ations, determined to destroy them. It isn’t possible to reconcile these views and their simultaneous presen- tation seems to indicate an unusual degree of flustration among admin- jistration propagandists. The question which protrudes is not so'much which is the real Roose- velt or whether either is, ‘as what is the state of mind of men who under existing conditions think it an ade- quete answer to an arraignment of ithe president, unprecedented in its |sternness, to blow kisses with one [hand while swinging a club with the other. Does any sensible person imagine that the Democratic sena- tors who, as a matter of conviction, have taken their stand openly against Mr. Roosevelt on what they conceive a vital issue, and who de- liberately have burned their bridges behind them, will be affected by either? Is it reasonable to think that senators (if there were any) who had not made up their minds when they went to the island, finding the presi- gent smiling instead of in a rage, suddenly should decide that the com- mittee report, submitted two weeks ago, was too harsh and, therefore, they must support the president?

She had confidence in Paul’s abil- ity to take care of himself any- way. She hummed songs and talked sweet talk to Chieftain, whom she petted more than is any horse’s due, but that’s the way she felt. Thus was she musing, day- dreaming, when her reverie was interrupted by a distinct The sound frightened her. SHE did not immediately see its source. It could have been an animal. But then it was repeated, and unquestionably it was human. Someone seemed trying to attract attention, with odd moans and noises of suffering, Heart pounding, Carolee called out, “What is it?” and went in the direction of the sound. Some 50 feet away she found a ‘woman on the ground, an Indian squaw obviously suffering, “O-o-oh!” cried Carolee, dis- mounting at once. The woman looked pleadingly {and mumbled something. Carolee couldn’t understand, but she be- gan a hurried examination. Water from her saddle canteen was gulped and the woman's gratitude lwas obvious if unspoken. The Indian indicated that her pain was in her leg, and Carolee soon dis- covered that the leg was broken. The squaw could speak but lit- tle English, “When did you get hurt? Did you fall?” “Sick,” the Indian mumbled. “Sick.” It was her only way of saying she needed assistance. Carolee took off her light sweat- er and made a pillow on the rocky ground for the red wom- an’s head. As easily as she could, she straightened the broken limb; it appeared to be in a terribly painful position. Moving it must have been almost unbearable, but beyond her increasing panting the woman gave no sign.
