From 1916 until he became Sec retary of Labor about three years ago, he was the legislative repre sentative here of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. Recently he has made his home at McLean, Va.

Because Doak’'s union was not connected with the American Fed eration of Labor, his appointment by Herbert Hoover -was bitterly contested by William Green, pres ident of the federation. Green praised Doak. personally, but insisted the precedent of se-: lecting secretaries of labor from the recognized American labor movement not be broken.

WASHINGTON —(#)— Russian recognition has eclipsed disarma ment, Cuba, British war debts dis cussions and preparations for the Pan-American conference as sub jectg of discussion in official Wash ington. It ranks with the domestic re covery plan as a major subject of conversation. Prospective Russian trade is viewed promising stimula tion to the cotton, pork products, copper and machinery businesses in this country. Electrical and agricultural imple ment stocks immediately were in fluenced by the announcement that Litvinoff will come to Washing ton to discuss the restoration of Russo-American relations with President Roosevelt. Livinoff's statement at the Lon don economic conference that So viet Russia was a Potential custo mer for $1,000,000,000 worth of raw materials and machinery challeng ed the attention of American fac tories and manufacturers. He explained that long term credits and liberal terms would be essential to extensive contracts with the Soviet union.
