WIKI regard 10 the suggestion that

the reply was that both parties would
be anxious to submit everything they

case Furthermore, the Supreme
Court OF the United States has ruled
that a non-judicial agency has not
the power to act as court and de
mand papers and summon witnesses.
Mr.. Emery'S suggestion might Oc
interpreted as a fear that in tie get
ting together of the roads and their
employees on this proposed legislation
there was Il threat to public interest.
A paradox is presented. II the Dads
and their employees fail - agree and
cause an interruption Of uanSDortd-
ton. the public suffers greatly. If
they do agree. the public ,nust suffer
also \ constant conflict between
them. without actual cessation OF
transportation. under such contention,
is the only path by which the public
may be safeguarded. On the other
hand. it is argued that while in,
creaSeS in wages are passed IN to
the public, it does not by any means
follow that all increases in wages are
unjustified. Under such conditions
there would be no advance.
President Coolidge in his annual
message to Congress last December
recommended that proposals brought
forward by the roads and their en-
pIoyeS to regulate and improve their
relationship" be enacted into law, but
with the proviso that they seem suf-
ficient also to protect the interests
of the public
Labor can make no permanent
gains at the cost of the general wei
fare" the President said. ".All the
victories Won by organized labor in
the past generation have beer Won
through the support of public opinion.
The manifest inclination of the man
ayers and employees of The railroads
to adopt a policy in harmony with
these principles marks a new epoch

Before action was taken by either

District made a plea that the United
States should bear a part of the addi-
tional expense of $500 900 rather than
take the entire amount from the sur

of the fact that previous approprla-
tiOnS under which this project has
been carried on were divided between
the Federal and District governments.
No change was made in the Ian
guage of the bill, however, in either
the House or Senate.
The ajority of the property still
to be acquired is within the triangle
formed by Pennsylvania avenue, NJ

without his consent. nor shall any
court issue any process to compel the
performance by an employe of labor

the provisions Of the bill. however. and
for 80 davS after the board has made
its report to the President no change,
except by agreement. shall he made by
the parties to the controversy in the
conditions out of which the dispute
arose.
During the hearings on the bill
James a. Emery. general counsel for
the National Association of Manufac-
turers. criticized the measure particu-
larry on TWO counts. He argued that
the public was not sufficiently protect
ed; that the railroads and employees
might join in an agreement on wages
which would increase very greatly the
cost of transporta ton, and the public
would have to pay the bill. He criti
ciZ@d the bill, too, because 1t does not
give the emergency fact finding boards
full powers to summon witnesses and
examine all books.
Public Protection Cited.
In reply to his suggestion, it was
pointed out by counsel for both the
railroad executives and the railroad
employees that the Interstate Com
merce Commission has jurisdiction
over rates charged for transportation,
and that the commission would not
WELD to a demand for increased rates
which would be unwarranted, or only
warranted because wages had been
improperly increased. The protection
of the public lay there. and in the
natural desire of the railroads them
selves to earn dividends, it was said
Furthermore. it was pointed out
that the Constitution does not permit
tampering with the freedom of con
tract between parties, as Mr.. Emery :
suggestion had implied. 1t was pointed
out also by counsel for the railroad
employees that the railroads eXpend
about 81 500 900 600 annually for the
purchase of supplies. or about one
half of what they eXDend for wages
Every agreement which helps fix the
price of materials and supplies has
an effect upon the rates which must
be charged for transportation. He
argued that to be consistent Mr.
Emery should ask for legislation per

Elderly Warned to
Beware of Idleness

Old age comes on more quickly from
a life of idleness than from one of
work. The mind and body fall into
decay from disuse, says Better Health,
a recent bulletin from the Oklahoma
tuberculosis society.
The indolent natives Of the Orient
average from nineteen to twenty-five
years as a lifetime. The wide awake,
active occidental has an average life
span Of fifty-six years.
Youth may be considered as vital
force or spiritual energy. Old age
is a form Of spiritual decay, WEAKNESS
and disillusion. Older people should
mingle with young ones, finding their
amusement and employment with
them. Solitude and reverie hasten
the approach of old age.

Appearance, condition, size, flavor
and correct weight or measure are
points to take into consideration when
buying fresh fruits and vegetables,
suggests the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Care in grading
and preparing for shipment results in
the best products and is usually indi-
Gated by careful packing in heavy
crates that prevent bruising, by a
spotless surface, uniform in size in
each crate, and often by individual pa
per wrappings. The appearance of
such external parts as tips and leaves
is a help in judging freshness in the
retail market.
Look for Decay.
Look not only for the beginning Of
decay but also for maturity and fine
ness of flavor. A good pineapple for
example, has a fine aroma. Juice is
heavier than pith or rind, and the
lighter of two similar looking grape
