The average ‘citizen has plenty of sympathy, but it does not always go deep enough to touch the “pocket-hook” nerve. There is no method of forecasting the future accurately; but the past, if studied, will give you more than a haphazard idea.

One point, however, seems to been quite generally overlooked, and that is the effect such laws, especially if car- ried to extremes, would have on older workers, whose plight is already a matter of deep concern. The establishment of higher wages and shorter hours by law would certainly place workers 45 years of age and over at an even greater dis- advantage than that which they are under now. It is an unfortunate fact that many employers set an age limit when employ- ing additional workers. There is little in arguing that such discrimination wrong. If one employer, for example, should employ force composed prin- cipally of old men, he could not compete with another employer whose force was composed of younger and more active men obtained at the same wage. \ A law might possibly compel an em- a ployer to :retain older men already on his | payroll, in ‘some cases, but it could not pre- vent his reducing his force and laying off the older or less efficient men first. When a force was to be increased an employer could hardly be forced to employ older men if younger Ones were available. Many of our most intelligent leaders understand these facts, and not in favor of rigidly establishing hours and wages by law. They believe a_ free exercise of the right of collective bargain- ing, without government interference, to be preferable to rigid regulation through legislative action. SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL. Former Editor of The Key West Citizen labor are Friends of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, who were twice snubbed recently by the failure of the Duke and Duch Kent to visit them as expected, are furious. They remind the world that the Duchess of Kent, although born a Greek princess, gave testimonials for cold cream and work- ed as a mannequin in Paris before the youngest British duke married her. So why should she high-hat Wally?

One of the offenders was fined, two other sentences were su pended. A naval officer who knew of the law but said he for- got it, pleaded guilty and paid the fine. Another service man, who ‘has been absent from the city had not learned of the new law. The third was an immigration official \on duty, who had left his car to ta eup of coffee. Municipal e Albury states that the ob- ject of the parking ordinance is jto keep the street cleared in or- {der that the mechanical sweeper ‘can be operated without hin- drance and efficiently. When the owner 0! the ca is near and {moves it promptly, the spirit of jthe law has not been violated, he believes.

She was removed to a hospital where a physician re- {moved most of the poison but the ysician said some of it had en- ed the system. An antidote was given hypodermicaly to offset the ‘ects of the poison she had as- jsimilated, but her condition this afternoon is reported to be grave.
