Quite frequently a particularly active and hard-working person is spoken of as a “human dynamo,” but this term is pop- ularly employed only in a figurative sense, to indicate that the individual referred to is possessed of uncommon energy. Now the researches and experiments of Dr, George W. Crile, world-famous sur- geon of Cleveland, and his associates have led them'to the conclusion that all persons | are literally. electrical dynamos—that each ‘fof the 28°trillion cells in the human body isa tiny electric cell—that what we call life is really an electrical phenomenon. Going deeper into the subject, Crile found evidences to indicate that the brain is the positive pole of the body ma- chine, and that the liver is the negative pole, with the heart, stomach and lungs as accessories to the electrical operation of the two dominant organs. When the body is in normal! condition, a continuous flow of electrical energy is produced, but this becomes weaker through fatigue or exhaustion, and at death ceases ‘altogether. Sleep permits the brain to re- establish its load of positive electricity, through a process somewhat similar to that of charging 4 battery. At least these are the theories advanced, with scientific ex- planations, in Dr. Crile’s book entitled “A Bipolar Theory of Living Processes.” These investigations by Dr. Crile are in line with the theory that all matter and all life are varying manifestations of elec- tricity. While the technical discussions and explanations involved in a_ presenta- tion of this theory are too much for the layman to grasp, it is intresting to know that the brightest minds in the world are being devoted with unflagging energy and zeal to the effort to solve the age-old rid- dle: ‘What is life?” UNIONS AND RESPONSIBILITY Labor unions ‘which expect to retain public confidence and to have popular support in their efforts to improve the con- ditions of working men might profit by the attitude of Charles P. Howard, presi- dent of the International Typographical Union. It seems that the mailing room em- ployes of the three dailies in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, went on a strike although their union had a contract which did not expire until January 7, 1938. The strikers wanted higher wages and rejected a com- promise offer from the newspaper pub: lishers. : For three days the newspapers wane suspended. Then, Mr. Howard suspended the strikers’ unit of his union, declaring that the mailers had violated the terms of their contract, and authorized the hiring of other union members to replace the strikers. This broke the strike and the employes went back to work under their old contract, The action of Mr. Howard illustrates the use of the power which high union of- ficials can éxert against illegal strikes. Such action’ tends to gain the support of the public generally, which will not sup- port any labor movement that demands Dr.4 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN You and Your “The time has arrived for us to take further action to extend the frontier of social progress.” With these words the President began a special message to Congress ad- vocating a new Federal pro- gram of wage, hour and child labor control. Two years earlier the Su- preme Court, in @ unanimous decision, had ruled that the Federal govern- ment does not possess the power to regu- late all business and industrial activity as was attempted under the NRA codes. Such regulations, which included the fix- ing of minimum wages and maximum hours, created, according to the Court, a centralized system not per- Nation’s Affairs Ridiculous Regimentation By ERIK. McKINLEY ERIKSSON Professor of History, University of Southern California child labor. Anyone who is willing to spend a little time investigating can easily learn for himself that the child labor problem is not acute enough to justify the setting up of cumbersome Federal machinery te deal with it. Simply by passing a law requiring the labelling of goods made by child labor and prohibiting the shipment of such goods into states forbidding their sale, Congress can strike a death blow at the compara- tively small amount of such labor now permitted in business and indus- try. The only apparent reason for in- cluding a-child labor prohibition in the so-called Fair-Labor Standard bill is to secure for it the support of re- formers and others who .are witting to accept any form of centralization if it will promote their pet program. The professed intention of the New Dealers is to limit the program of wage and hour control to industries and businesses which are interstate in character. But, under the typical New Deal philosophy as frequently expressed by its leaders, all economic activity affects interstate commerce mitted by the Constitution of the United States. Neither an emergency: justification nor a plea that thisireg- ulation was: designed .to:remove @b- structions to the free flow of inter- state commerce ‘was sufficient to gain | judicial favor ‘for the types of tegi- mentation practiced from 1933.t0.1935. For two years the New Dealers have; been) busy devising ways. and.x .eans of voiding the effects of this famous decision. Already a half dozen mea- sures have been forced through Con- gress to accomplish in part what was accomplished at one sweep under the code system. The Wagner labor act, the Walsh-Healey act, the Robinson- Patman act and the Guffey-Vinson coal acts of 1935 and 1937 are good illustrations of the manner in which the New Deal is seeking to re-estab- lish regimentation. The proposed labor measure is but another step towards the goal of centralized con- troi sought by the administration forces, In viewing the proposed program one may be justified in questioning ith and is therefore subject to Federal regulation. This means that. regard- less ‘of the type of legislation finally passed, there will be endless litiga- tion over questions of juri-diction. In view of the decisions of May 12th upholding the Wagner Labor Rela- tions act, it is probable that the Supreme Court would uphold the proposed legislation as applied to in- dustries doing business in more than one state. Even though the measure might prove to be constitutional, there still appears no valid reason for its en- actment. if farmers, domestic ser- vants, workers in local services, gov- ernment and institutional employees, the self-employed and vorkers in establishments employing less 1 .an twenty are exempted, as proposed, only about one-fourth of the coun- try’s workers will be affected.
