inspired by their A. F. of L. rivals in an attempt to embarrass their organizing campaign.
Debaters Break Rules
The Dies resolution was beaten after one of the noisiest and most bitter debates in recent times, in which members broke the rules of order to shout at speakers. The sit-down strike may get one
more going-over in the House. Still lying on the Speaker's table is the concurrent resolution passed by the Senate. Rep. Lindsay C. Warren (D. N. C.) sought to call it up under unanimous consent after the Dies i resolution was killed, but met ob- ' jection from Rep. Gardner R. With{row (Prog. Wis). Democratic Floor | Leader Rayburn said he expected | the House to act later on this resn- { lution, though he thought it would
| be referred first to the labor com- |
| mittee. This resolution, however, does not | disturb the Administration, since it is merely an expression of view by Congress and does not go to” the
| White House at all.
| Opposition Is Overwhelmed
It was very evident that the White | House had been busy when, on the | vote on the Dies resolution, the Re- ‘ publicans and a handful of Democrats who stood up to support it
were overwhelmed by the surge of Democrats who rose to vote against it. The latter were joined by Wisconsin Progressives and FarmerLabor members. House leaders were left in the cold, as both Majority Leader Rayburn (D. Tex.) and Rep. John J. O'Connor (D. N. Y.), Rules Committee Chairman, voted for the resolution. So did Rep. William P. Connery (D. Mass.), Labor Committee Chairman, who is the House spokesman of the A. F. of L. The House vote revealed some interesting political aspects of the sit-down issue. The vote for the investigation was about half Republican and half Democratic, the latter largely made up of Southerners, with a .sprinkling from such states as Missouri, Nebraska and California.
Support from South
Large support from Georgia, Alabama, the Carolinas, Florida and Mississippi reflected the reaction from the recently announced campaign to organize Southern textile
workers. Likewise, with a few exceptions including Rep. Maury Maverick, who was a leader in the floor fight against it—was regarded as an outgrowth of the recent announcement of an organizing campaign by the C. I, O. in the oil fields. Rep. Dies, sponsor of the investigation, comes from one of the richest oil sections in the world, and also is regarded as an A. F. of L. champion. Michigan Democrats voted as a unit against the resolution, thus affirming their support of Governor Murphy and his handling of the
support from Texas— |

Mr. Smith had heard of cuttee and ad not been entirely convinced. He asked the chieftain about it, and the chieftain said that his medicine man could fix him up for a journey into the jungle wilds. - Cuttee is a serum brewed from the venom of such poisonous snakes as the bushmaster, fer-de-lance and others of that ilk which is one of the touchiest ilks in the snake | world. The serum is fixed with herbs and roots and inserted into an open wound on the finger, or an opening sliced by a knife, if there is no open wound around at the moment.
Applied and healed, the cuttee is positively guaranteed to make the patient a blood brother of all poisonous snakes and they will stay away from him, or at the very least not harm him. > One day just before taking off into the wilds, Mr. Smith injured his finger, and he called the medicine man. The medicine man put a cuttee into the wound and in time it healed. Into the jungle went the Smith party, and there it stayed for weeks, traveling through snake-infested
territory that was the terror of the
savages. And not one single snake did Mr. Smith see during the whole time. He was delighted. Coming back into the village he was paring his nails with a bright and shiny, though inexpensive, pocket knife. It attracted the eyes

Mr. Smith was quite as pleasant as possible under the circumstances. “And did your cuttee work during your trip inland?” asked the medicine man. I “Yes, indeed. Didn't see a snake as long as I was gone,” Mr. Smith replied. The medicine man was staring at the shiny, captivating knife. “And.” Mr. Smith said, “I don’t want to see any snakes now that I am back in the village.” The medicine man nodded gen-

Educator Charges President Guilty of ‘Bad Faith’
By Uniled Press WASHINGTON, April 9.—James R. Angell, Yale University retiring president, today criticized President Roosevelt's proposed judiciary plan in a letter made public by Senator King (D., Utah). Dr. Angell’s letter characterized the President as guilty of “flagrant
| political bad faith” in trying to
“whip Democrats into line” behind the Court plan. Prof. Walter M. Cain of Notre Dame University and Frederic Coudert, New York lawyer, appeared as opposition witnesses today before the committee. Dean William Masterson of the Missouri University Law School was scheduled to testify against the bill this afternoon. Cain asserted that the proposed bill would “tend to increase uncertainties and doubts in regard to governmental policies which affect business and industry.” “Nothing so discourages priva.e enterprise as instability in government,” he said.
