LA Statisticians Predict Sky High Potato Prices Nexl ar; Industrial Unionists Start Militant Fight Within L Ranks; Rules Protect Them From Expulsion Bj minant Draft Unions; Howes And Other Lessen Fiticos Hunger After Farley’s Job. by Draw P•arson and Robert S. Allen Washington—The die is east, rty million housewives of the S. A- might as well prepare the worst. AAA jugglers of istics have it all figured out crop control or no crop con , the price of spuds next r will be sky high. Tie reason for this is what r call the “potato cycle”—a theory they have evolved n a study of sixteen years ►otato prices, during which low high prices each extended ■ two-year periods. his see-saw up-and-down is ibuted to the old law of >ly and demand. When prices profitable the growers plant e potatoes. Then the market >mes glutted, and prices crash, a couple of years thereafter, farmers ease up on potato luction and prices improve n there is another surplus prices tumble. i the belief that potato mar the last two years have been lormal, the AAA concludes 1936 should be a high-price od. They admit that their illations may go awry. So, icly they are saying nothing it them. Also, if prices should rove next year they want the ng farmer to credit the Ad stration’s agricultural pro n. CORDELL HULL riends of Cordell Hull, who v him as a judge in the Ten ee mountains, tell this story ndicative of what the Secre of State thinks of Benita solini. ull was walking down the 1 street of Carthage. Tenn., day when a rain of bullets tered around him. A Ten ee feud in full force had :en loose. Firing came from sides of the street, idge Hull, however, continued ralk straight ahead. He did even quicken his pace, ater, friends who saw the lent asked why he had not n to cover like almost every else on the street. Hull re I. ' figured that there was just it as much chance of my be hit if I ducked and ran as if ilked straight ahead. But the day I found the leader of gang who endangered the i of everyone on the street, I paid my respects to his OPENING ROUND ehind the scenes, the recent F. of L. convention settletd ing in the fierce struggle he rn the craft and industrial n factions. n the surface it looked as •resident BH1 Green and his rie of Old Guard, time-serv office holders mopped up sr John L.

This )ry, however, was not the but the opening round in a that is destined to mark an :h in labor history in the next years. ewis and those backing him only do not intend to bow be triumphant craft unionites, they are already laying plans efy them openly. The details heir program still are in the lative stage. They will be ced out at a secret confesr NOTICE OF SALE^ Jn The Superior Court ■- of North Carolina, aty of Alleghany L. Waddell, Administrator Reeves Watson un Watson, defendant nder and by virtue of an »r of the Superior Court of ghany county made in the re-entitled action, 1, the un igned Commissioner appoint >y the Court will, on Satur the 30th day of November, I, at one o'clock P. M. at Court House door at Sparta, C., sell to the (ughast bidder following described tract of ence to be held early next month. The general outline of theii strategy was agreed upon at an unrecorded meeting of the group, following the adjournment of the | Federation convention. It calls for the following.; A militant offensive Within The A. F. Of L. Fold during the course of the next year to or ganize new industrial unions. The established industrial un ions (such » the United Mine Workers, United Textile Workers, International Ladies Garment Workers, Amalgamated Clothing Workers and smaller federal unions) lending financial aid to the new industrial unions now getting under way in the steel, auto and rubber industries. Green and his faction are trying to stifle these organizations by load ing them up with officers of their own choosing. Creation of an informal con federation of industrial unions which may eventually break loose from the A. F. of L., if the craft group refuses to come to terms, and form a rival feder ation. In waging their battle tempor arily within A. F. of L. ranks, the industrial unionists are can nily taking advantage of a for tunate set of circumstances. Their bitter foes are unable to discip line them, much as they would like to do so: The rules of the A. F. of L. provide that no international union can be< expelled except on a two-thirds vote of the annual convention. ^This majority never can be mustered, since the in dustrial unions already control almost 40 per cent of the A. F. of L. vote. So as long as they want to remain in the Federation the power to do so rests safely in tbeir hands. PROTECTIVE ATMOSPHERE Several New York friends of Secretary Henry Morgenthau, who dropped in on him for a call, talked about a one-time high Administration figure who is now very much persona non grata in the New Deal circles. “How did he ever come to be appointed?” asked one of . the visitors. “Up in Albany we peg ged him for what he was right away.” “That is one of the big dif ferences between Albany and Washington," Morgenthau replied dfily. “In Albany it only takes three months to find out a double crosser, while in Washington it takes six.” FRENCH JUSTICE While in Paris recently, At torney General Cummings got a close up on French justice Taken to see the Court of As sizes in the Seine District, he ar rived during the trial of a crime passionel. The three presiding judges invited Cummings to sit with them on the bench. The first thing that struck Cum mings was that the jury box held five alternative jurors, a prac tice just being introduced in the United States. The next was that the defend ant. one Henri Agar, accused of murdering a former friend of his sweetheart, was allowed to make a plea in his>own defense. The third departure from American procedure was that af ter the prisoner had made his stirring harangue he was removed from the court room, and not brought back until after the jury had reported its verdict. The jury, out only 25 minutes, found him not guilty. Agar, re turned to the court chamber, was informed of his acquittal and freed. Another feature of French jus tice that impressed Cummings was the non-existence of a bail system. French . jurists explain ed that by not allowing defend ants bail they avoided protracted delays in bringing cases to trial. FARLEY SUCCESSOR Big Jim Farley’s impending retirement from the Cabinet is causing a lot of mouth watering among lesser Democratic leaders. They are hungrily eyeing his job, hoping that if the President can’t persuade one of the top-rung politicos to take Jim's place, he will turn to them. Foremost among these hopefuls is William Washington Howes, First Assistant Postmaster Gen Capital that Howes is slated for Farley's desk. If the President wants a man of the Farley type, Howes Alla the bill to a T. The First As sistant PMG may not be known to the general public, but as a master of glad-handing he is sec ond only to Big Jim. Jovial, smooth-talking and an untiring joiner, Howes knows politics from the ground up. He has been a District Attor ney, served as a member of the South Dakota legislature and he ran for Governor of the state. He was one of the earliest B. C. (Before Chicago) Booseveltians, a fact which earned him the job of Second Assistant Postmaster General in 1933. He was later promoted to First Assistant. Howe's ardent devotion to poli tics even played a role in the naming of his young daughter. He was sitting in the South Dakota State Senate when word of her birth was received. An enthusiastic colleague forthwith introduced a resolution that her second name be “Senate.” The measure went through with a whoop and the little girl was duly christened Mary Senate Howes. MERRY-GO-ROUND The National Retail Federation, investigated by a House com mittee last session, has come to the aid of the Social Security Board. Handicapped by lack of funds through failure of enact ment of the Deficiency Appropri ation Bill, the Board has been un able to supply requests from em ployers for copies of the Social Security Act. Therefore the Federation has informed the Board that it will take care of all its member employers in this re gard. . . Few know it, but the Justice Department is one of the biggest book buyers in the Gov ernment It expends more than $80,000 a year for law books, supplying not only its own needs but those of the 102 Federal courts. . . Inquiry at the Export Import Bank recently: “Where is Director George Peek?” Reply: “We, haven’t seen nor heard from him for several months.” . . Pos tal inspectors say that, strangely enough, mail is rarely damaged or destroyed in air crashes. In the recent tragic disaster near Chey enne, Wyo., in which twelve lives were lost, the mail bags on the destroyed plane were unharmed. . . . Here is one for riddle fath omers: During sessions of Con gress the House restaurant, de spite bop prices and small por tions, runs at a loss. Yet, dur ing the last few months, two women, under a sub-let conces sion, are running a profitable cafeteria in the same place with prices from one-third to one-half less and portions larger than official servings.
