"Then gently scan
your brother man"—
-By Mr. Modestus-
Hey, you! Nye—
Gerald P. Nye, of North Dakota—
Bearing title of United States Sen
ator—
How did you know the Nazis were
making mischief in Greenland?
We understand why you announced
they were not there—
That was the Hitler tactic: telling
a Big lie—
But the U. S. Navy had just discov
ered as much as you knew—
So they took those Nazi radio men
into custody—
Would you mind explaining?
Or wouldn't you?

THE WORST IS YET TO COME
In asking President Roosevelt to
plead with German people—
To stop the Nazi invasions, includ
ing the war in Crete—
When the German people didn't even
know there were Nazis in Crete?
The world will want to know: so fix
up the record—
On why you prevented railroads
from building more freight cars—
By stopping Federal loan, proposed
as necessary for war—
Did you know there was war com
ing—
In which railroad equipment would
be important?
Was that why you insisted that
there would be no war?
You are permitted to explain—
If you can—
Hey, Charlie—
You, one-time aviation expert me
chanic—
Who knew the British were licked
before they started—
Because British chemical supply was
choked off in America—
By Nazi-American chemical monop
olies and cartels—
Who also predicted America could
not lick Hitler—
You put your foot in it, when you
U»ed that Nazi trick—
Trying to set Americans against
Jews in America—
Now, you are out on a long limb,
with lots of saws waiting—
Predicting there will be no elections
here in 1942—

You don't think much of American

You think they selected bad "lead

You voted twice here in 10 years, to

Do you really think there are enough

Say, Bob:
Heir of LaFollette traditions—
Champion of Civil Liberties and per
sonal freedoms—
Is it true, what they say about
Wisconsin—
That labor unions are being given
the squeeze play there?
By laws against picketing and
"cooling-off periods—
Is this part of your anti-Roosevelt
program, toot
Or don't you have so much to say
in Wisconsin, these days?
That anti-labor stuff is perfectly
good Naziism—
_•"
Industrial democracy is anathema
to Hitler, too—
Say, all you alleged "America
Fuersters"—
You are getting a lot of good rope
to run around with—
And you are putting some beautiful
nooses in the ropes.
PRESIDENT EXTENDS
TIME FOR BOARD TO
SUBMIT WAGE PLAN
Chicago (ILNS).—President Roose
velt's fact-finding board of five has
been given five days more in which to
submit its recommendation for settle
ment of the wage dispute between the
railroads and their employes.
In view of the absence of Joseph H.
Willets, a member of the board, the
President telegraphed authority to the
board to extend the date of presenta
tion of their recommendations from
midnight of October 31 to midnight of
November 5. The extension was given
because of the absence of Willets to
attend the funeral of his son at
school in the East.
Under the Railway Labor Act, the
board can do no more than make rec
ommendations. Both sides are barred
from taking action for 30 days from
the date the recommendation is an
nounced.
J. Carter.
Ford, chief counsel for the
railroads, summed up for the carriers
as the board ended its hearings, main
taining that the workers receive ade
quate pay and that the railroads can
not afford to pay more.
The workers' side was summarized
briefly by George M. Harrison, spokes
man for the 14 unions of non-operat
ing workers, and Charles M. Hay,
counsel for the five operating brother
hoods.

SAMUEL GOMPERS'
SON RETIRES AFTER
LENGTHY SERVICE
Washington, D. C. (ILNS).—Samuel
Gompers, son of the famous leader of
the American Federation of Labor, has
retired from government service at
the age of 72. He was a government
employe for more than 54 years.
Gompers, chief clerk of the U. S.
Department of Labor, received a
watch and typewriter from his friends
during a reception in Secretary Per
kins' office, in which Miss Perkins
joined. While in retirement, he said,
he expected to write his memoirs of
his long government career.
He told his friends in the depart
ment who gave him the parting gifts
that "for nearly 60 years I've been
looking for an alarm clock. Now I can
say to hell with it."
A native of New York City, where
his father lived for years after com
ing to this country from London in
1863, the younger Gompers came to
Washington in 1887 to work at the
Government Printing Office as a com
positor. After working there in vari
ous capacities for .20 years he took a
civil service examination. He then,
received appointment in the old De
partment of Commerce and Labor's
Division of Publications. He subse
quently transferred to the census sec
tion.
When the Labor Department was
created he became chief of the Divi
sion of Publications and Supplies. In
1918 he was named chief clerk. In the
department he served four Secretaries,
Wilson, Davis, Doak and Perkins.
He long has had a deep interest in
labor activities but did not participate
because of his official position. He
continually has maintained a self-im
posed silence on labor matters.
Hoan Asks Supreme Court
To Review His Libel Suit
Washington, D. C. (ILNS).—Daniel
W. Hoan, formerly Socialist mayor of
Milwaukee, now with a division of the
Office of Production Management, has
asked the Supreme Court to review a
ruling by the Wisconsin courts deny
ing his claim for damages in a libel
suit against the Milwaukee Journal.
The newspaper, according to the com
plaint, carried stories saying that
Hoan, while mayor, was on a tour
while Milwaukee was being subjected
to mysterious bombings. One article,
the complaint alleges, declared:
"Mayor Hoan, himself, is to blame
for these bombings."
