Cash of Princeton. covery of the decomposed body is to clinch a fist, mutter a curse and wish for an in- sible for that terrible murder. every man would want to lend a hand to a tree. Certainly the kidnapers deserve the worst possible punishment, for there is nothing quite so mean and low and foul as the crime they committed, < However, the law is the law and Mc- Call and his partners in the crime probably will be amply protected by J. Edgar Hoo- ver and the state’s attorney until they can e.brought into court and convicted. It is reel erfguigh that Florida men ‘ere iden- tified as the kidnapers. It would be in- Gree woise foy the state if the kidnapers were taken out of the hands of the law and ched, a: ral’ vhave suggested. Law- ee fficers solved the crime. the law-enforcement officers guilty. Too much credit cannot be given the agents of the government under J. Edgar Hoover. They acted promptly, efficiently and expertly. There was no muddling and bungling. They proved what a trained body of men can do when put to the test. There is no finer arm of the government service and the people of Florida are with them to a man. President Roosevelt is to be con- gratulated for earmarking $50,000 to cover the expenses of the federal investigation of the Princeton case. With such funds at their command the government agents can operate with the fullest freedom, not stop- ping to undertake any line of investigation because of the expense involved. Where a child’s life is at stake and while anguish- ed parents suffer nothing should be left un- done. The fund should serve as a warning to others that kidnaping does not pay. t LONG-RANGE WEATHER PREDICTIONS Practically every day throughout the United States, the ‘“weather-man” is laughed at for missing his predictions as to the weather. There is, in some places, a tendency to believe that the weather fore- cast is most of the time wrong. Of course, well-informed Bureau are unusually accurate. In fact, the day-to-day weather reports have proved so successful that experts are now looking ahead to the time when the Gov- | ill be able to make accurate weekly predictions.

It should be clearly understood, ; in the beginning, that the Nation- | al Labor Relations Act, signed by the President on July 5, 1935,) gave legal recognition to certain specified rights of laborers and prohibited employers from doing certain acts, considered unfair to labor. For Employes Only The Art affirmed the right of employes to full freedom in self- organizations, and in the designa- tion of representatives of their own choosing for the purpose of | collective bargaining. It forbids employers from dismissing em- ployes because of union member- | ship or engaging in union activi-' ties, from supporting company- unions financially, or aiding in their organization; from refusing to bargain with any labor organi- | zation chosen by the majority of | employes through their free) choice and from bargaining with any other group than the one chosen by the majority of em- ployes as representatives of the workers. In brief, the Act recognized the jwight of laborers to organize and | bargain collectively and set up the Nationaf Labor Relations Board to protect laborers in the | full exercise of their rights. This Board is charged with enforce-| ment of the Act. It receives com-| | plaints, holds hearii and issues | | i 5 dn the il to'eom-, ! ‘are ret! |ferred to the Federal Circuit Court of als for review and | enteroehialn i?‘ upheld.

Courts Uphold Law ‘munity where the controversy | tfinsferred itself to the courts in| The Act was upheld by the! United States Supreme Court on April 12, 1937, in five cases ap- pealed from lower courts. In. six additional cases, the Court failed to announce any opinion adverse te the Labor Board or holding invalid any single provision of) the law. In its opinion, the Court | upheld the Act as a valid exercise of the commerce power of Con- gress, said that it did not violate | the due process clause of the Constitution, the procedural provision ade- quately safeguards against arbi- trary action. Subsequently, the Court held that the Board could not be en- joined from holding hearings on complaints against employers, that in particular situations, when it finds domination or interfer- ence on the part of an employer in the organization of his em- ployes, the Board has the power to order the employer to. with- draw recognition from the so-call- ed company union; that the sta- tute applies to an employer pro- cessing raw materials within one state and shipping part of his product out the state, and, finally, that workers on a strike remain employes and that the employer, if he discriminates against them, violates the Act. Court Worries Board Because the Board is a quasi- judicial agency, it has been in- the™ relatiohship:. between the | Court. and such governmental agencies. Edwin S.

The theory be- hind the experiment is that the behaviour of large bodies of upper air will reveal an obedience to seasonal fluctuations. Readers of The Citizen should under. | stand that the daily weather reports are not based on mind-reading but upon con- ditions observed. Reporters scattered ali over the United States keep the Weather Bureau thoroughly informed as té @oxdi- tions everywhere. For example, when re- porters tell of a storm hitting the coast and moving inland, it requires no prophet to predict that the force of the storm will be felt in interior sections. Weather reports in this day and time are not based on head- work but upon reported conditions and in accordance with a scientific study of at- mespheric conditions over a long period of such findings are supported by evidence, they shall be final.
