All that can be said Is that there nave
eliminated this week forces that have
teen al work for at least one year, posi-
by two. The decline was given final I'M
petus By the Minnesota rate decision.
Probably there is a greater divergence OF
opinion regarding this than concerning
any decision Of the Supreme Court OF re-
cent years. Its fun import viii not ne
clear until explained by subsequent de
cisions. but one thing is quite definite
and that is that the decision Will not
