This one slipped past

the labor boys in the 1933 session and they have been regretting it ever

since.

Two years agoindignant farmers in Iowa were stopping milk trucks by the scores and dumping their loads in the road. Farmers of the middle west were in a belligerent mood. Reasoned the solons of the 1933 session; Why not pass a law which would discourage farm strikes? Representative William Babcock. Rep., of Rensselaer, introduced a bill outlawing interference with farm products in transportation, both houses passed it and Governor Paul V. McNutt signed it. Then labor woke up. This discovered that to break up ony strike called by any labor organization, all the strike-breakers would have to do would be to place a pat of butter or a head of lettuce on a truck-load of strike breakers. If the strikers interfered, they would be violating the 1933 act. Labor leaders claim this very weapon has been used against strikers in Lake county since Babcock's bill became a law. One day last week Representative Edward P. Berry. Marion county labor leader. Introduced a bill repealing the 1933 act. Within the next 24 hours he heard plenty from the farm boys. They want the law retained. Labor wants it repealed. Probable compromise Berry will make: Withdraw his bill and introduce a substitute measure defining agricultural products in transportation so that labor can not be affected by the present law. Thus, both labor and agriculture would be satis-

fied.

Statehouse news "leaks" have got Governor McNutt, administration leaders and press agents worried. For example, there have been a half dozen accurate stories published on what the report of the governor’s economy commission will contain when made public. By the time the report is finally released there won't be much news left to it The present administration knows its publicity. It knows "timing" is one of the arts in good press agentry To have i big story leak out bit by bit is discouraging to publicity men who prefer to blast with one big

One reason why the i senate has been less lucrative as a news source during the 79th general assembly: membership, 38 Democrats and 12 Republicans . . . Chief reason why the house, by comparison has stolen the spotlight so far: Membership 65 Democrats. 35 Republicans . . . The senate has become a most sedate body . . . Missing are such showmen as Harold F. VanOrman of Evansville. Chester Perkins of South Bend, and George Sims of Terre Haute, whose gyrations convulsed the senior body for years . . . The team of Ed Bush lieutenant-gover-nor under Leslie, and Sims nearly broke up the 1932 special session on more than one occasion with antics that ranged from mild whimsy to

Senator Robert M LaFoilcttc.' Prog. Wis., is preparing such an amendment which will attract a few!

The LaFollette amendment will propose an appropriation of between $8,000,000,000 and $10,000,000,000 Decision of the Democratic majority on the senate appropriations commit-' tee to discuss the bill secretly defeat-j ed the first Republican strategy to

amend the legislation
