I answered I didn’t know as I was a stranger in town. He said he was too, and that he was from Montana going to San Francisco to see the fair. He said there was a 75-passenger Boeing transport on the waterfront at Lenora Street and that he w d like to see it. I replied, ‘T would like to see it He said, ‘Come with me, and then I'll go and have a cup of coffee with you.’ He claimed he used to farm in Colfax, Towa, my home state e couldn't find Lenora Street so we turned back a block and went past — - Tavern on First or Second. H ‘That's the first beer parlor I've seen since I got into town; let's go have a couple.’ I replied I didn’t care for beer but I would take one for sociability’s ke. He sat beside me in the booth show- said, ing me a road map. “A fellow walked past the booth to the back of the room, then stopped by our booth remarking, ‘T just got into town from Carfada with my wife and would like to see the new streamlined ferry.” He then talked some more and I said I would have to be leaving in order to catch the boat. He said, ‘have one on me before you leave,’ and he and the fellow from Mon- tana got into an argument to see who would buy the drinks, finally deciding to play freezout it, and getting me in on it “Montana dealt first, winne:; then it was my deal it 75 cents and Montana said agreed on. “Canada cut and I dealt, dealing myself three aces and two kings, Montana dropped out, saying to Canada 11 just raise it to $5. I said I didn’t have five—only having $4.75 and two travelers’ checks for $20 each. “Then Montana said, and Canada raised to $20. and said I would like to get out of the game as I thought we would only gamble for drinks, and I didn’t want their money in that manner anyway. “Montana said, ‘is that all the money you have?’ I replied I had two travelers’ checks for $20 each and for then Canada, I being the Canada says let's make $1 even, which was ‘raise you what you have,’ I didn’t put up anything Montana got me to s one of them. Then Canada says, ‘we won't ma it any higher but will shake on it He turned his cards and had four sevens. He took the money and went out the door, saying he had to see his wife. Montana and I turned south and had gone about 50 feet when a fat fellow who had been | having a drink at the bar came behind us, saying, | ‘beat it fellows, the proprietor in there has called thL‘“ police and you will be arrested for gambling.” { “I hurried to the boat, barely catching it. On the boat I talked to four other fellows who had lost, respectively. $180, $15, $212 and $56, and knew Lhen‘ the game was crooked. Here in Juneau I talked to! two fellows who were taken in practically the same | way last year. “Now I would like to see those fleecers work harder | for their money and I believe an editorial in your P r would help matters You know the: metheds and location of the crooks from the above | parration.

Big Hague and Little Hague (Philadelphia Record) The State Senate of New Jersey proved there was no particular reason for its existence by refusing an en investigation of the appeintment of Frane Hague, to the Court of Errors and Appeals. The Senate then went on to confirm the crown rince’s appointment at a secret session. The et session js an appropriate method of pproaching the work done.

The New Jersey judiciary has been “taken out of pelitics” until the Courts are largely controlled by one political boss, It is these same courts that must pass upon the honesty of elections; the legitimacy of politicians’ in- comes; the constitutionality of repressive laws and rdinances, and dozens of other activities centering around the man to whom they owe their jobs. Nobody would argue that young Hague could have been elected to New Jersey's highest Court. Yet ap- intment by a Hague-controlled Governor, confir- nation by a Hague rubber-stamp Senate, puts young Hague on the highest Court in New Jersey for a six- ear term. When Big Hague says “T am the law,” Little Hague can answer from the bench: “You tell 'em, Pop.” Pressure From Below (Cleveland Plain Dealer) If the wishes of the rank and file of labor were be heeded, the conferences which have begun between leaders of the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations would reach a speedy and peaceful conclusion. The general public unquestionably shares this desire of the unions’ membership. There was a hearty public response a fortnight ago when President Roosevelt, in his letters to John L. Lewis and William Green, asked for another effort to end the rift in the ranks of organized labor. In the light of the unsatisfactory results of the t conference held in December, 1937, it would seem hazardous to to predict that the peace which could not be achieved then can be accomplished now. Since the 1987 conference the CIO has organized on a permanent basis, as a “congress” instead of a “committee.” Efforts of both union groups to in- vade each other’s fields have added to the bitterness which was strong enough at the time of the original split But against these facts which would seem to present stronger obstacles to peace today than at any other time since 1935, must be reckoned the vigorous demand of the workers, reflecting a growing dissatisfaction with respective leaderships which put personal prejudices ahead of the common interests of labor as a whole. As Louis Stark, veteran labor reporter, observes: “The chief antagonists in the intense factional struggle are to be found mainly among officers at the top of ‘the hierarchy. Many of the leaders below them fear for labor’s future if peace is not brought about.” It is an old device of high-placed labor leaders to blame “pressure from below” when it becomes necessary to abandon a position which has become untenable. In this instance the “pressure from below” is no fiction, invented for face-saving pur- poses. It is the legitimate and common sense de- mand of the men and women who are the strength of American unionism. It will be heeded if the men at the top are wisely alert to the long-range cause.

Ithis country to take the lead in another arms limi- | tation effort unless conditions have become more favorable than they were seven or eight years ago, when the last serious disarmament efforts were made. There is no sign that such an improvement has come | about. The contrary is surely true. Senator William H. King of Utah represents the aspirations of Americans and virtually all other peoples in proposing a new disarmament conference on the initiative of the United States. But it is idle to call such a parley simply because the world is spending $20,000,000,000 a year for arms. Any constructive venture must take notice of the causes of rearmament and seek to deal with those causes. There are two prime motives for the armament One is the desire of some powers to expand, | territorially and economically. The other is the fear which many powers share, chiefly a fear of aggres- sion by the nations intent on expansion. Some plan of collective security might meet this dilemma. Mere disarmament proposals will not. If the American people want to make a genuine contribution to world stability and to armament re- duction, they can assume some responsibility in world politics and seek to lay the foundations for a new system of collective security. That will entail some If they are not prepared for that, they will be wise not to call a disarmament conference bound to end in failure New York beauty specialist who has opened a school where girls will be taught how to become charming brides, would do well to include a course in broiling steaks and mixing salad dressings in the curriculum.
