to make a guess as to the
reaching consequences.
er hand, a number can be recalled
cain from the start. It is one
now.
When John L. Lewis burst forth
with angry violence and referred
to Vice President Garner as ‘‘a la-
bor-baiting, poker-playing, whiskey-
drinking, old man,” he wrote ‘‘finis"’
for his long career as a labor lead-
er. Even with his ability to shake
his bushy hair and wrinkle his bee-
tled eyebrows and evolve the most
biting of all language into a descrip-
tion of his enemies, even with this
capacity and a million or so work-
ers p g him dues, John Lewis is
through as a political influence in
behalf of organized labor.
It is not meant here that Lewis
will not continue to shout and tear
his hair and accuse everyone of be-
ing unfair to organized labor;
still has his vicious tongue, and he is

True, there was

It was the second time that Lewis
when they come from a man who
has had the build-up given Lewis as
a labor leader and politician. It will
be recalled how, a year ago, Lewis
walked into the office of Speaker
Bankhead of the house, and an-
nounced what the house must do
about some labor legislation. Mr.
Bankhead, a thoroughly level-head-
ed Democrat from the deep South,
fixed things right up for the labor
leader—to make sure that Lewis
would lose out. One would think
that Lewis would have learned his
lesson from the dictatorial arro-
gance he displayed on that occa-
sion, but he came back for more.
Perhaps, the circumstances of the
Lewis statement should be related
to give a clear picture of the con-
sequences that seem certain to flow
from his personal attack on Mr.
Garner. The house commitiee in-
vited Lewis to appear as a wit-
ness to give the C. 1. O. views on
the amendments that were pro-
posed. Lewis spent a few minutes
in discussing the text of the amend-
ments and then launched into a sour-
puss tirade about the Democratic
party. He asserted that the party,
after having accepted labor's gifts—
C. 1. O. having supported President
Roosevelt with money and men in
both presidential campaigns—had
now turned out as a traitor. He
argued that he never had looked
for help from most of the Republi-
cans but had believed the Demo-
crats would stick by him and his
dues-paying workers.
But through the last year or more,
however, Lewis found someone in
the Democratic party who was
‘‘searching for the heart of labor"
and that individual, he shouted in
red-faced anger, is ‘‘a labor-baiting,
poker-playing, whiskey-drinking, evil
old man, named Garner.” The vice
president was the ‘‘genesis” of a
great campaign against labor, so
Lewis declared.
News Travels Rapidly and
Then Things Begin to Happen
Well, I have witnessed fast travel-
ing of news around the halls of the
Capitol many times, but I never
have known word to get from office
to office and to the far corners of
every building any faster than the
Lewis statement. And things be-
gan to happen.
Before the afternoon was over, the
Zexas delegation had met and had

ment and indignation’’ at his ‘bitter,
personal attack’ upon the vice pres-
ident. There was talk around the
house and senate later about a prop-
osition to bar Lewis from any fur-
ther appearance before congression-
al committee hearings but that fad-
ed away. Nevertheless, my guess
at this stage is that if and when

Lewis, one could not fail to hear
conjecture as to its effect upon the
movement to make the vice presi-

From these facts, it becomes more
less obvious that the Lewis at-

the two factions of the Democratic
party fufther asunder. With the
Lewis record of support of every-
thing new dealish, it can not fail to
convince voters of the brand of Gar-
ner democracy.
There is still a further phase or
sphere of influence to be mentioned.
Mr. Garner has long been known as
a conservative Democrat and he has
long been powerful in the councils of
tion, then, that he may be the Demo-
cratic nominee next year, where
does that leave the Republicans? Re-
publican leadership has been steer-

side, as far as they have shown
their hand. The question to be asked
after that statement is, where does
that leave the New Dealers?

Lace-Top Dress
One of the most attractive fash-
ions on the current style program is
that of the lace-top dress. The mod-
el pictured shown at a revue held
by the Style Creators of Chicago is
proving to be one of the big suc-
cesses of the season, It is liked par-
ticularly, for worn with a jacket,
it will carry on through midseason
into fall. It is navy for the corselet
skirt with white for the lace top.
The idea of the lace top admits ver-
satile interpretations,

Smart Tan Shade
The “look pretty’ edict this sea-
son extends to headgear, footgear
and makeup. Though some well
tanned skins are seen (treated this
year with a new shiny finish and no
other makeup except vivid rouge),
the most talked-of tan tint is a warm
honey beige, made up with a little
rouge, mat powder and colorful lip-
stick.
