Washington Letter National Kdltarial DAYS OF "GROG" IN • NAVY ARE RECALLED One Pint a Day Was Issued to Each Sailor. San plegQ.--Old navy' Men like to talk of "tbfe pood old days." hnt research reveals that .their"reminiscences do not go far enough hack to touch on the time wben, grog wa§ served twice a day and: .Wonien.vWeTt^ for; sea duty. Ah account from an old navy journal reveals details of the long-past ous.tnm of serving grog each day befor? din: ner or supper: "Shortly after eight bells, as the drum rolls, all nioye $ft toward the grog tub," wrote an officer. "Around this point of time concentrate half meditations ot the day. * I often place myself at the tuh to watch the rolling eyes and the look of extreme gratification. with whiih they swallow their half pint, for that Is the measure to each. It Is one gill of 'whisky diluted with an. equal'quantity of water. "A rope is drawn athwartshlps near the tub. Kach iuan as his name is called crosses and takes his allowance. Which must be drunk on the spot. From this they.pass on to dinner. The term grog originated with • Vice Admiral Vernon. U. S. N., who was known as "Old Orog." The name sprang from an 'old clo^k. lie wore on deck in bad weather. Vernon Inaugurated the custom of serving whisky and water and the drink was known as grog. Women-were. Included in the navy personnel during the World war, hut •T»nly as yeomen for shore service. First, known Women on navy boats were with the Rritlsh prior to 1800, when women were carried on many men o' war.

Washington, August 19 - Another • Senate inquisition started herfe today, | the outcome of which has the political jand industrial world on edge. It seems | that the LaFollette sub-committee J working on an admittedly biased plan j is about to blow off steam on methods j which are sometimes utilized by open | shop employers in an effort to thwart trade union organizers. If the committee adheres to its present procedure, it is likely to remove the top from a smouldering volcano of intense and bitter class warfare. Far-sighted political chieftains are working might and main to apply the brakes so thatthe apparently inevitable battle between organized workers and employers. mpy be confined t,o sporadic skirmishes. A nation-wide epidemic of strikes are anticipated after the elections without regard as to which party carries the votes. . While the Senate investigators are ostensibly seeking data as to the ser vices rendered by professional espionage strike-breaking agencies, they have in mind calling prominent industrialists among the clients. The idea of LaFollette and his sub-committee is to draw the fangs of the employing group to permit union organizers a free sweep in recruiting. Unfortunately, for the early success of this strategy, it now appears that the Senate will be defied to the extent of proving to competent legal authorities that it possesses,the right to seize private papers and records. .If you watch the tactics during the next few days, it will be observed that the Senate is due for a prolonged court test. This sub-committee held a hearing in April and filed a report expressing convictions as to "violations of free speech and assembly and interference with right of labor." >low the LaFoIette followers are seeking data to substantiate its pre-investigation judgment-- a procedure which arouses doubts as to its, fairness as art inquistorial body. Talk of the town this week centers on the dissension within the Coughlin- Lemke group; the "t^eak showing of the Townsendites in recent primaries; why the President insists on calling Jiis tour of various states a non-political visit; doubts within both major parties that White House assurances ,pf no new taxes next year is trustworthy in view of enormous public expenditures; our foreign policies in regard to Spain; hope of party press agents for public attention for their candidates with the Mary Astor racy story out of the way; Eastern G.O.P. leaders demanding extension of Landon tours to sell their man to voters in i doubtful states, notably New York, 'Pennsylvania and Massachusetts; 'speculation as to the trend of thinking among eligible Negro voters in Northern and Mid-West areas; whispers as how and where the "iheavy sugar" or campaign money is raised and spent; questions as to shake-ups in personnel at various campaign cftmps, etc. Political scouts returning from quick surveys report rumblings among the farmers which have an important bearing on relief policies. An official statement issued a few* days ago by the Department of Agrculture simply noted "the farm labor supply now was the "lowest it has been for nearly ten years." Back of .this picture is a story of grievances which has the politicians guessing as to consequence. The government" data claimed average wages for hired laborers was $22.07 at | 'these unsuaully high wage rates. | Probably, it is the old tale that interest "depends on whose ox is good." Farmers who looked with friendly eyes on policies which brought them government checks for restricting crops are inclined to look on relief of unemployed -as a gigantic waste of money calculated to encourage idleness and slothful, habits. The survey dfita disclosing changed "trend of political thinking find an explanation, in che scarcity of farm labor.' The larmers feel they are handicapped by loose spending, of relief, funds which discourages a trek of the unemployed to the rural areas. Relief rolls carry mtny "ex-farm hands who flatly refuse to- return to well-paying jobs and surrender easy living in the city. .Prof TugwelPs soil erosion scheme arid other helpful plans calculated to win the farm vote are apparently falling on deaf ears as other Federal agencies keep the .eligible farm workers safe and happy on unemployed lists. Speculation as to the effect of tihlis farm labor shortage on votes is growing, The. indifference of the general public to ."trust-busting" stunts of the Federal government is discouraging wholesale attacks on business. The proceedings against oil producers and distributors stirred little interest beyond the confines of the trade. Somehow these efforts to restrict monopoly while laudable in purpose, do Hot have/J the appeal of otfejer days when Teddy " . Roosevelt made political capital with .: the "big stick" methods. The thrill ' for the public has gone. Order your rubber straps at Plaindealer. Union Labor Chief Aids Landon Campaign Appointed director of the Labor division of the Republican National committee.
