Mary Towers of Milwaukee, wife of a Royal Dog-House | Knight, has annoureed that she proposes to organize a competing fraternity where the wives too can find solace. She says she plans to call it “The Supreme oty of Dog-House Putters In.” Whatever may be said for or against the new “Dog- .House" order, there is in it the grain of an idea, which, if applied to home situations, could germ- inate into a happy situation. That is its saving sense of humor. If that same sort of a facetious attitude were applied to most family disputes many a pitfall of Soc ‘dog-house” dissension would be avoided. Another way to settle the Foud labor troubles would be to have Henry Ford and John L. Lewis of the CIO go off on another peace ship and let the boys keep | on working while they fight it out alone.

Just to keep the record straight, it should be recorded that he hit it right on the’ nail head during the week-end. who predicts is just astronomer Mercury ‘ptobably us The Anchorage amateur the ice break by the planet about as right as the rest of A (ledr Road York World-Telegram) Supreme Court has made the inter- conversant At last state commerce clause of modern industry The recent Wagner act in history, for they mark permanent abandonment, we hope—of those narrow, legalistic concepts that may have fitted very well| in the days when manufacturing was a matter of | millrace spinning wheels and cobbler shops, and when transportation and communication were | handled by oxcarts and stagecoaches.

Of course a factory r who joins an effective labor union will not ed governmental protection on that score—his union wiil protect him. But he may need, and his mployer may need, governmental protection from hop competition. The road clear, we be- ve, for Congress to provide that protection. And is it not the same in respect to child labor? urse Congress cannot forbid minors to perform about farm But Congress has never anted to do that. It has wanted to keep children oul of mills whose products compete in markets. And does not the philosophy of govern- mental powers expressed by 'the’ Court clear the way for Congress to do just that? We' believe it does. Then there is that step which logically follows collective bargaining—the right of which was firm- ly establishe by the decisions. We refer to the orderly governmental procedure for mediation and vcluntary arbitration—such as the one that has proved so valuable in bringing about and maintain- ing labor contrasts and settling disputes in the rail- read industry. Clearly such machinery can now be set up for all industries interstate in character. If Congress can do these things which so need to be done to regularize and humanize interstate industr the States will be competent to handle similar matters in intrastate business.
