All were flatly 1ejected. In the midst of this undercover jangle, Miss Perkins, through CIO forces hostile to Hillman, took a swipe at Hillman. In a letter to Roosevelt, with which on the sur- face she had no connection, the demand was made that all govern- ment labor agencies be restored to her Department. This attempted flank attack was a dud. The President didn’t even trouble to acknowledge the letter. Finally, in another hot show- down with Miss Perkins, Hillman forced the ucceptance of Davis as WLB chairman and, as he mistak- enly thought, the abondonment of the umpire scheme. This plan didn't go into the executive order, but it's still kicking around like a disem-| bodied ghost. Whatever else she may be, Miss Perkins is persistent. Also the President is very, very patient with his Becretary of Labor. NOTE: AFL president William Green recommended Harvard Law Lean James Landis for WLB chalirman and this was subsequently made, CIO president Phil Mur- ray's choice was Thomas Murray, (no relation) prominent New York engineer.
