It is known that the President has such a step in mind. If he decides to take 15?

The eight new buildings, to which the pupils will be transferred, posited almost a foot deep over the roadway.

Mr. catton labor peace are hopeless, you can expect the President's appeal to follow. But as long as Miss Perkins keeps making optimistic statements like the one she recently made in Denver, you can take it for granted that the move la still "under consideration." New Tactics Attempted Miss Perkins, apparently, has stopped trying to get William Green and John Lewis together and is relying on Dan Tobin and Sidney Hillman. One observer close to the situation has suggested that the best way to bring about peace would be to stop talking about it. Mr.

Lewis, he remarks, likes to see politicians squirm, and will postpone the reopening of negotiations as long as high New Dealers exhibit their anxiety publicly. Anyway, New Dealers feel that the President can force a settlement if he wants to take drastic action. They build this feeling principally on the fact that letters and telegrams representing the feelings of more than three million union members have been received at the White House and Labor Department calling for an end to hostilities. Threat to Tammany Fade A hopeful attempt to replace Tammany Hall as the Democratic machine in New York City seems to have been abandoned. The attempt was made, or at least was prepared for, by inner circle New Dealers; the vehicle was to have been the American Labor Party in New York.

The plan was to bring the Labor Tarty into the Democratic Party as the "official" party organization in the metropolis. Tammany, which has been roundly beaten in city and national elections of recent years, was to have been disowned, with the idea that the Labor Party could etep right into its place and, incidentally, provide the New Deal with a fervent and dependable set of party workers in New York. Probable result of this would have been to make Congressman James H. Fay leader of the Manhattan Democracy. Mr.

Fay is the man built in 1871, and the Lockhart of "sore and tired legs." He believed a ticket entitled him to a seat. His suit was tossed out of Municipal Court. He appealed and was granted a jury trial. He won a verdict of $45 and costs. Then the railroad appealed to the appellate term of Supreme Court.

The verdict was upheld. Again the railroad appealed and Mr. Davis won again. So today after three years of court costs and accumulated interest, the New York Central paid Mr. Davis $283.89.

Under Mr. Backer, the Past will not merely speak for the Labor Party, but will speak for the moderate wing of the party; the leftists, it is understood, will find their voice in the new picture-paper which is soon to be started. Various inner circle Administration people are beginning to look just a bit dubiously at Attorney General Frank Murphy. Mr.

Murphy enjoyed a good build-up after he took office last January. What is worrying the inner-circlers is that the build-up keeps going on and on, with the attorney general grabbing an ever-increasing share of the limelight.
