The supmerged Third (New York World-Telegram) In its new fair-labor standards bill the admi tration sets out to abolish child labor, outlaw sweat- shops, fix minimum wages and maximum hours and generally do by stat what the late do by codes in fixing decent working interstate industry To accomplish these simple and human ends it sent to Congress a measure dank with a tangle- | than 10,000 words of obscure and legal logy.

We know that experiments up to now have 10t supplied the answer. With the exception of a new ahoma act, the State minimum wage laws so far ply only to women and children and there only twenty-four such statutes. Some of the and regions refuse to consider such laws and competitions for cheap labor. The labor unions, while spreading rapidly, may not r into the more oppressed industries tor e if at all.

The new measure is, we believe, right in principle. and if wisely administered it may go far toward rais- ng the standards of lower-bracket workers. L its ill-starred predecessor, NRA, this splen- did project can be wrecked by over-ambition. To suc- ceed it should shun both party politics and bureau- cratic arrogance. It should avoid too much of the punitive and encourage the reasonable approach. Iis labor standards board should move into the oppressed industries one by one, arming itself with exact know- ledge as it goes, after the manner of the English royal commissions, lest it cause more damage than good. It must keep itself flexible, as the bill intends :t should, remembering that industry is a delicate mechanism which cannot be mended with hatchets and crowbars.
