The company has an- notinced it will abide by ruling of the court and copies of the order already have been posted for all to see. Both employer and employee know now exactly wheré they stand in connection with their labor re- lations and it gives assurance to the entire commun- ity of amiable relations m the future. It means that business, which has been more or less jittery due to innumerable unfounded rumors, can settle down to its stride and Juneau can forge ahead on a united front. The Alaska Juneau, as every one here knows, is the biggest business in the city, one of the greatest of ts kind in the world. It is going ahead as it has per- sistently and calmly done right along. It has pur- sued its legal rights and now announces through its General Superintendent, L. H. Metzgar, that il adheres to the court order and will continue to mine gold. Its employees from the very nature of the court order doubtless will continue to mine gold, secure in the knowledge of their definite position. Juneau, as a result, will continue to enjoy the benefits of an enormous payroll. A great many unfounded and foolish things have been said and done since that eventful day in 1935 when operations temporarily ceased at the A. J. Most of us have forgotten many of them. Right now is good time to forget all of them. The Alaska Juneau and its employees are handling their problems success- fully in their own way. The best thing all the rest of us can do is to tend to ours and through mutual understanding go ahead making Juneau the out- standing city in the north. if wit ntees the Labor Re ba ning ot agencies he NOBLE THOUGHT. BUT HOW MUCH? Mrs. Franklin D.

(Philadelphia Record) Mr. Justice Van Devanter’s sudden resignation recently reminds us of the story about Jonah. It may be that the spring sunshine and thoughts it brings men younger than 78 explain Mr. | Justice Van Devanter’s sudden resolution. It may be the purest coincidence that his announcement came on the morning of the day when the Senate | Judiciary Committee was Court reform bill But it will be hard to erase the suspicion that yerhaps Mr. Justice Van Devanter's move was timed. he conservatives on the Court ve made one con- | cession after another to Mr. Roosevelt on minimum wages, on collective bargaining and on coal regula- tion, without placating him. It will be felt that the Court decided, at last, to throw Jonah overboard. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court, now weather- ing the heaviest seas in its history, contains not one Jonah, but six. We hope the pursuing behemoth will gulp down the offering and ask for more. The re- tirement of Mr. Justice Van Devanter and his replace- | ment by a liberal might still leave the Court with a conservative majority of 5-4 on crucial issues The Chief Justice is a liberal chiefly on civil liberties. Mr. Justice Roberts is as unpredictable as lightning and seems never to strike twice in the same place on any issue. Only Justices Brandeis, Stone and Cardozo can be relied upon, in passing on new reform legislation, to recall that this is the year 1937, not 1887 Mr. Roosevelt has won substantial victories in his fight on the Court, where Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt achieved only a few memor- able flights of rhetoric. He has forced the Court to brush the cobwebs from its spectacles, looked at the tuation afresh, decided that minimum wages and collective bargaining and coal regulation were con- stitutional, after all | But, consider that it took the most daring frontal attack in our history to obtain the acquiescence of the Court in legislation other countries adopted two generations ago. Consider that it was by the bare margin, even here, of but one vote that these reforms were approved. Mr. Justice Van Devanter a relic of the Wild West. He was appointed Chief Justice of the Terri- tory of Wyoming by President Ben Harrison. In an earlier day; for all his corporate connections and training, he was by no means a reactionary. On the' contrary, his appointment was treated by press as guaranteeing the Government’s victory its fight against the trusts, notably Standard O:l But, it is fantastic that the destinies of Tw Century America should be in the hands of men who are contemporaries of the horse-car, that those who were mature men in the age of Sitting Bull should be the court of final resort in the era of the sit-down Paper Hanger or P: i ! nter? (Cincinnati Enquirer) Unfavorable comments on Adolf Hitler are made in the United States' q often. Without havinz statistics at hand, one might venture the guess that an unflattering remark about Hitler is made some- where in this country on the average of every five seconds. Possibly oftener. Naturally it is impossible for Der Fuehrer and hic aids to take notice of all of them, and certainly to indict all the commentators. | This makes it necessary for them to be selective. Some time ago, they selected Mayor Fiorello La Guardia of New York. Now they have selected George Cardinal Mundelein, Archbishop of Chicago. It is something of an honor to be selected. In the La Guardia case, Berlin held the American Government responsible. In the case of Cardinal Mundelein, urse. the American Governmenrt. In both cases, of co the men are at liberty tc say what they choose. Cardinal Mundelein’s remarks raise a serious ques- tion, however. He said that Hitler was an Austrian paper hanger. Now there is some evidence that Hitler |was not a paper hanger, but a house painter—some- times abbreviated merely painter. This is a grave | matter. In the hierarchy of trades, a painter may outrank a paper hanger, or he may not. But it is obviously an injustice to describe Hitler as the one if he was in fact the other In the interest of international peace, it seems desirable for the Nazi Minister of Propaganda, Herr | Goebbels, to make a final manifesto in the matter. |Once we know the facts, we shall be able in future to irefer to Der Fuehrer as-a tyrannical and inhuman paper hanger, or as a tyrapnical and inhuman house painter.
