It will require deft handling of the reins on the part of President Roosevelt to keep the labor union's mighty overlords from kicking over the traces and at the same time convince beleaguered business men that government co-operation will be substituted for coercion in a co-ordinated effort to restore prosperity. The fact that the White House is asking for fore relief money is creating grave concern that tax rates may be boosted, which will not be considered encouraging to private business. Several things have, happened lately which make large and small business men dubious about the real intent of appeasement policies and the muchheralded end of reform legislation. Notwithstanding the seemingly authoritative promises of CaBineteers Hopkins and Morgenthau that better relations between government and in* dustry are at hand, observers look with some misgiving on the lack of plaindealing. An amendment to the national defense bill slipped into the law at the last moment by Senator Barkley, the majority leader, has put the skids on the reconciliation of the road. Then you strike off through the forest in a westerly direction. Maybe you find it? Maybe you don't? September first found the writer and his family in the Indian village on the Flambeau Reservation. Mrs. Hoag and how they all found shelter in that skin wickup was an unsolved mystery. We pitched our tent to windward and on the other side of the spring. Got our canoe in the water and decided it was early enough to fish a little. We tied a Heddon River Runt plug on our line and tried working the 'shore line 4»ut with no success. Getting down near the weed beds we changed to* a No. 1 Johnson spoon a"ncf a pork-rind, but still we did not get a rise and we gave up in despair. We were paddling slowly along toward camp with the line dragging behind the canoe when suddenly the reel let out a screech and we dropped the paddle and grabbed the pole. The line was running out like'mad and we knew that we were fast to something heavy. It did not fight like a bass, and it lacked the savage rushes of a musky, but we knew there was something on the end of that line that seriously objected to coming toward the canoe. We could have probably horsed the fish in but we were using a was in a store and Jack, Sr., *Bob and i k^sfe^year's line and preferred to play the writer were window shopping, safe. The fight lasted about twenty when Jack remarked, "Oh Bob!

"Jimmy!" we yelled, "Where ar? those bass you said were here?" "Right here in the boat, Dad!" replied Jack, and as follows, "Ugh! Heap fine day! How boy?" The Indian boy just drew himself up and stared. "Humph, Bob!" Jack remarked. "I guess he don't understand English." The Indian boy looked Jack squarely in the eye,, ,and replied, "I speak English fluently and I am better educated than you are, you big stiff!" Having established acquaintance on terms of equality the boys soon became friends and we learned that the Indian's family were camped on White Sand lake.

It is reported that the amendment which virtually forces unionization on any manufacturer or distributor of articles used in national defense Was John L. Lewis' price for consenting to participate in conference with : i£reen of the A. F. of L. The proposal is so drastic that one discontented worker would call on the igovernment agencies to blacklist his employer and deprive him of government contracts. The National Economic Committee is permitting the Federal Trade Commission to attack businessmen without according the privilege of rebuttal until next fall. The Department of Justice moved against the fertilizer producers with a. biased public statement that if their probe did not find anything illegal the in-» quiry would at least provide the government with data on which to base regulatory legislation.• Small'wonder that Capitol Hill is seething with comments about pledges for cooperation with private enterprise beii*g nothing but idlo winds heard and easily forgotten. It indicates the .new Secretary of Commerce will have something more than the mere re-organization of his agency on hand if he aspires to bring business "and industrial leaders into the fellowship wjiile 'others in the Fedefal service are throwing, handsful of dust to fill the eye. The possibility of petty graft is disturbing Federal agencies interested in equitable distribution of food and clothing surpluses to the needy. Final details of an experimental plan will be worked out here this week. It is planned to confine the experiments to six cities of varying population ranges. Reports are current that the Works Progress Administration is not enthusiastic over the project. Basically, the objective is to increase domestic consumption of foodstuffs, especially among low-income groups. The Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation claims they have a two-fold objective -- to relieve farmers to some extent from the burden of their crop surpluses and to make these products available for the relief of the distressed. One of the schemes has to do with the issuance of stamp books to be utilized as part payment for foodstuffs on the surplus lists and redeemable at any grocery. Safeguards against abuses would limit the stamps to necessities with liquor and cigaretets definitely excluded. So far there is no ^disposition on the part of the government to limit or control the margins or profits on these commodities. The stamps, backed by Federal guaranty, would induce holders to purchase foodstuffs on the surplus list and automatically increase the consumption of these products. This Federal agency is faced with the problem of harmonising its program with private competitors who resent this form of government competition. The department stores and other retailers are Watching the government's plans for disposing of the cotton surplus either through clothing or mattresses. The success of a stamp system will hinge on the regulations about usage. The graft schemes on relief checks are all too recent to be overlooked in regard to Federal stamps which might net tidy sums to smart brokers. Introduction of a bill by Senator Pepper of Florida has revived the economic "war of Sections." Pepper wants legislation to rectify what he describes as "interterritorial freightrate disadvantages," which is nothing more than a demand for lower freights on products moving from the South to encourage the industrial development of this region. This issue contributed to the delay in passing the Wage and Hour law. Pepper demands that the Interstate Commerce Committee give consideration "to a plan to provide that the freight rate per mile for the shipment of goods to a point in any freight-rate territory shall be the same, irrespective of whether the shipment originated in that territory or Some other territory." The battle for economic supremacy is underway again. It is an item which figures <^jwqniinently in the current controversy over naming men to membership on the Commission based on their rate structure ideas and politics. em." That was enough for us and wc were soon rolling north on 51, Indiajv boy and all. I We turned off a dirt road arjd took ! a forest trail, driving along a ridge j and winding in and out through Cthc trees until the car rolled down f» little hill, rounded a clump of low cedars and stopped in front of an Indian skin wickup that looked like sC big overturned bushel basket. The late afternoon sun was glistening on the water and it gave a warm glow to the narrow ribbon of white sand from which the lake takes its name. It was here that we met Mr. and Mrs. James La Cour, and all the little La Coures. We tried to count the Indian children several times but never could agree on the exact number he held up four small-mouths that weighed between three and six pounds each. We lobked at the ftsh and said nothing. There are times when "silence is golden." That night while sitting around th® camp-fire we had a talk with Jimmy Senior and the next afternoon about five o'clock James and the writer started out in our canoe. We paddled up to the weed beds and James pushed the canoe through the lily pads and rushes. We passed a big windfall] swung to the right, and suddenly the canoe shot gut into open water. The pocket; was aJLjeast half a mile long by a couple of *hun4red yards wide. It was completely screened from the lake and you Could pass right by it and never se^1 it./That pocket was full of fish. • It' had rained & couple of days previous and the warm sun had hatched out a new-batch of flies . -You could hear the 'Blop,' 'Blop,' 'Bk>p' of the bass as they rose to these flies and splashed back into the water. Out came that Johnson weedles* spoon and a pork-rind. We cast, and the next moment we were fast to a fish. The- spoon would hardly hit the water before a lunge and a splash would announce another fy*h "How many fish can your family tfat Jimmy," we askdd, and he thought six would do. We had six in no time at all. Then we fished and put 'em back. "Good Lord, Jimmy!" w^ exclaimed, "Are White Sand bass always like this," "Maybe so yes, maybe so no!" was the reply. "One day bass here, one day they somewhere else, no can tell! Bass always in the lake You find 'em.!". Jimmy was absolutely right. Bass are where you find 'em. They are in the water, and if you locate the ftsh, and use the right lure, you'll get your share. The difficulty lies in doing just that thing, and in the element of uncertainty lies the real thrill in fishing. Need Rubber Stamps ? Order at lite Plaindealer. R. E.
