The nation is now in a better position to know the caliber of the men President Roosevelt had in mind and the reaction of the Senate to those men. Naturally, the Senate, which killed the Court bill out of its awed respect for the Court, would refuse to confirm anyone it did not deem fit to sit on the Court. The first was Hugo L. Black, whose nomination was attacked because of part of his record that had nothing whatever to do with the New Deal. In spite of this, Black was confirmed, 63 to 16. Next came Stanley F 1 New Deal champion who had represented the Administration before the Supreme Court in some of the very cases where the Administration’s defeat by the Court called forth the reorganization plan Reed was unanimously confirmed by the Senate This week the e of Felix Prankfurter was acted upon by the Sen Frankfurter is credited with authorship of of the most bitterly opposed sident Roosevelt had not since then he has ap- time Justice.

Nuts and Wages (Cleveland Plain Dealer) Starvation wages help to hike the cost of relief This is a fact frequently overlooked by those who com- Jlain with good reason, when relief requirements train public budgets. An example comes to attention in the denial of the plea of certain southern pecan shellers for exemp- tion from the Federal wage and hour act. They asked the right to pay 15 cents an hour to “learners” for a 00-day period. Under the act the administrator has ithority to grant exemptions to “prevent curtailment of opportunities of employment.” When the law went into effect pecan shellers pro- tested vigorously, They said its $11 a week minimum would put them out of business. They dismissed a number of employ! Foes of the act proclaimed | that “30,000 had lost their jobs through the wage-hour law.” As a matter of fact, most of the dismissals co- | incided with the industry’s light season, when there always had been layoffs. The number affected, the wage-hour administrator reports, was 3.000, not 30,000 A hearing was held on the shellers’ complaint. It | establishes the fact that the industry’s employees | largely centered in the San Antonio (Tex.) district, | had “for years lived under shocking working and liv- ing conditions, with we ranging as low as $2 or $3 \ week, requiring the employment of children to make a family income of $10 a week.” To bridge the gap between their slender earnings .nd starvation,” the board’s investigators found, “re- lief. church aid and private charity were necessary Yet the industry which paid this sub-standard wage was found to be “not depressed or unable to meet its ocial and economic obligation to the community One company reported a net profit of more than $500,000 in a recent two-year period In short their pay roll cost over to public relief and private even as were those Cleveland millinery shops the Consumers League of Ohio investigated several years ago The net effect of the wage-hour law should raise the living standard of a neglected and exploited group of helpless people and reduce San Antonio’s relief load There are likely to be just as many pecans eaten, even a decent wage standard should minutely increase the to the ultimate consumer. cost Paul Bunyan Goes Home (New York Times) Paul Bunyan, so they say, was originally a Down- East Yankee. But nothing less powerful than the wings of a hurricane could ever have carried him and Babe, the great blue ox, back to the scenes of his youth. Yet there they are, striding across New England again to tackle the biggest logging job in the memory of man In Northern Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire four billion board feet of timber lies on the ground. These wind-felled trees represent eight New England’s annual cut. The Federal Forest buying hurricane logs and proposes to stagger their sales so as not to glut the market. ell or not, the fallen trees must be | cleared out by summer. Otherwise this vast. unwanted | windfall would stretch into a fire hazard a hundred | miles acrc from Long Island Sound up to Canada. | In the three States chiefly affected they have all | but forgotten about logging. The old skill and hardi- 1 hood have rusted since the days of the first Roosevelt | Trimming out the woodlots doesn't season a man to plunge into the forest and skid the logs to the ponds or swing a peavey when he gets them there. Never- theless the lumberjacks are gathering along the Merri- mac and the Connecticut. Some of them are down from Maine—the redoubtable Bangor Tigers who march to their work on tractors. Some of them are Wisconsin men bred beside the lakes scooped from Paul Bunyan's foot-tracks. ‘The slow oxen, Babe and Bud, come from their sheds leaning hard against the bows of their timber sleds. There will be work for all the ! horses, too, and overhead autogyros are already circling |to spot the worst of the tangles. High-climbers and riggers are not needed. The tall white pines are down but they must be bucked in a hurry and got safely to water. So the old spirit has come again to New England. The scent of beans and johnnycake wafts once more from the lumber camps. It might take Paul Bunyan himself a day or so to skid out four billion feet. But these brawny lads in windbreakers think they can handle most of the stint before the bark beetles get there. is An American tried in Hamburg, Germany, for possessing a paper with communistic tendencies, plead- ed ignorance its nature. The Nazi Judge stated that it was the defendant’s “duty to examine con- tents of the paper.” he idea apparently being that you shouldn’t read a strange paper until you've thrown it away Senator Shepard, faintly remembered as author of the Federal prohibition amendment, predicts a return of Volsteadism. Al Capone’s friends (if any) will have to hurry and get him out of prison if the new era is to do him muech good. ht men were arrested in New York City on a tealing $1,500,000 in nickels from the city- sounds like it might have been mighty charge owned subway good exercise.
