He is sixty years old. He was born and educated in Louisville and later at Harvard university and in 1877 began practiclng law in Boston.
 Won Cheaper Insurance
 Brandeis' public campaign for principle started in 1904, when he in tration of certain public charita ble institutions in Boston, Through nearly a hundred hearings before the city aldermen he fought the fight for the poor and won a complete victory. Of course, he received no fee.
 He next took up the fight for bet ter life insurance conditions for the poor, and was so successful that the cost of life insurance for laboring men has been reduced by fully twenty per cent. throughout the country.
 Next the Boston gas companies at tempted to combine and squeeze the consumers, They reckoned without Hrandeis. He jumped in, forced them 10 cut the price from $1 to 80 cents, and at the same time showed them how they could increase ther dlV1- dcnds. There was no fee.
 In 1907 some one told him of the fight certain manufacturers in Ore" gon were waging to 1nvalidate the law prohibiting the employment of women for more than ten hours a day. He assumed the case for the women, fought it through the United States supreme court, and won. And that tribunal, on Feb. "A, 1903, paid him the almost unpa ralleled tribute of complimenting him by name in it's opinion and quoting extensively from his brief.
 His Offer to Railroads.
 MT. Brandeis first came before the public as a national figure in the Bal finger controversy, when he appeared as counsel for Louis R. Glavis, who made the reports which opened up the scandal. Later he was counsel for the shippers who were fighting an increase in railroad freight rates, and he declared he could show the railroads where they could save $1,000,000 per day by us- ing more efficient methods. The rail- roads offered him an enormous sal ary if he would put his theories into practice, but he declared he hadn't time to earn so much money. ,
 New York became particularly in- terested in MT. Brandeis when in 1910 he was called upon to help settle the great garment workers strike, and
New Britain herald., 1916-01-29

he was made membe of the board of arbitration and it's chairman. He has been engaged in any number of fights to make the lot of the wage earners less difficult, and he has al- ways been helpful to the cause of labor.
 He has written largely, and is con- sidered an authority on public fran chises, life insurance, wage earners insurance, scientific management la Dor problems and the trust question.
 Basis of Operation.
 MT. Brandeis has been at the fore front of the Zionist movement in the United States and if confirmed will be the first Jew to take a seat on the bench of the supreme court of the United States.
 The opposition to confirmation of MT. Brandeis will be based in part on the ground he Is not considered a democrat, and in part on the conten- ton that he is not particularly fitted for justice, despite his record as a lawyer That the opposition will be serious was made plain yesterday af- ternoon by democratic leaders. In fact, somt of them predicted that he could not be confirmed.
 While political reasons are ad- vanced for the predicted opposition to confirmation, there is no conceal ment of it's real basis. It relates to the fact MT. Brandeis is regarded as too radical. The president has put it up to his party to say whether it wants in the highest court in the land a man who is known as a radical

senate judiciary committee, to which it has been referred, meets. Brandeis Not Talking
 Some senators announced to their colleagues they were opposed to the nomination, but declined to be quoted to that effect. The only sena- tor found who was willing to publicly record his opinion at this time was Senator Wadsworth, republican, of New York.
 Senators who approved the nomi- nation were not lacking, although they too avoided public expression Of their views. They felt sure, how ever, they could command the neces- sarv majority to confirm the appoint ment.
 1T have nothing whatever to say: have not said anything and will not" was MT. Brandeis' only com m ent last night as he went off to dine with President Wilson at Secretary McAdoo's house. Justice Hughes and Pitney also attended the dinner.
 Champion of Reforms.
 MT. Brandeis has been known for years as champion of various re- forms and a leading advocate of pro- gressive measures. While his ap- pointment will be generally pleasing 10 progressive or radical political elements, there is a large body of conservative democrats and republi- cans who will not like it. In fact, some of the senate democrats already are threatening to fight confirmation.
 At the beginning of President Will sons administration MT. Brandeis was expected to get a place in the cabinet. Many of the administra- tion leaders believed he would be ap- pointed attorney general.
 \ Radical of Radicals.
 Louis D. Brandeis, who is of Jew ish parentage, about sixty years of 1 age, and a native of Louisville Ky, ] is one of the most remarkable men 1 who have appeared in public life in , America. He is a radical of radicals, ] yet he holds the respect of the most He is a lawyer for the people, and has staked his reputation lime and again in fights for the people without a dollar in sight as lis fee. He could have had a couple of fortunes had he always worked or the big fees at his command; but le has preferred to remain compara-

lively a poor man and live in the joy of being the peoples advocate"
 Personally, MT. Brandeis is a medium sized, wiry man, rather un- couth in appearance, with piercing gray eyes, and a mass of black hair, streaked with gray, that is always more or less tousled. He wears queer glasses. If it weren't for the fact that he was born in Kentucky, he would be called typical Boston lawyer-green bag and all Even with his southern birth he has the Yankee accent, due to the fact that he was transplanted to New England

 Confident of Confirmation.
 Senators generally were unwilling to express themselves publicly on the subject. Champions of MT. Brandeis apparently were confident of confirm ation. Mr. Brandeis himself declined to make any comment. ..-. '.
 The nomination will not be taken up formally until Monday when the

There is small profit for the pub
Usher of a legitimate weekly news
paper at 81. 90 per year, even. If every
subscription were paid in advance.
Some Of the city weeklies can afford
to cut their subscription price to rs
or 30 cents per year on account of
their large and profitable advertising
patronage, but such is not the case
with the average country weekly. The
Union will not engage in any fake en-
terprises to boom its circulation. It
stands on its merits. It is our aim to
cover the local field thoroughly and
make the Union a welcome visitor in
every household in the territory we
cover, and with the assistance Of our
corps Of Industrious correspondents we
intend to make the paper brighter and
better for the year 1916 than ever.

to the tribal funds of Minnesota Chip
pewas, on account Of the removal of

only relinquished about half Of this
land, and that the remainder should
have been sold and the proceeds turn

period the principal will be paid to In
