IL and IL OF the G. AT.
This protest--if 1t can be called
that--it not expected to change the
situation one iota. McCarl has ruled
and his decision is final in all such
matters. :.
The only thing these employees
need to worry about is the posi-.
bility that in its report to Congress
mex session the board might recon-.
mend legislation to return some OF
them to Grades and IL.
Although, generally speaking,
Government employees are highly
elated at McCarIs Interpretation OF
the law believing he was as liberal
as the law would allow him to be,
there is one rather large class OF
clerks who are not.
They are the ones VINO are now
receiving the average OF their grade,
but under McCari's ruling will re.
ceive less than the average.
For instance. employees receiving
the average OF So, 400 In q. salary
range from $1,000 To 5000, will 60
into q new salary range OF $4,000
to $500, and receive $500. or less
than the average.

 The Spell Cast
 Close scrutiny would usually bring to light the bird or bee or beast through whose agency the spell had been cast. Sometimes bees swarmed and beset the victim. Among these many stories is pleasing one con- nected with the hired man" of fam fly who insisted on going ahunting un- bidden. Soon a beautiful deer ran across the pathway. Shot after shot was fired but all fell wide of the graceful creature. The deer glided before them through the woodlands, just within range but always eiuding the shot. The daylight faded but still on and on went the fruitless pursuit {: miles and miles they followed the ani- nal through the thickest woods of the forest, till nightfall found them far .saunLftx1 NItfa Rhoda's work" suddenly exclaimed the young man, and hastily adjusting silver bullet, the spell was broken the deer vanished with piteous moan and Rhoda was laid up in bed for many week.
 Stories respecting her were long. lived in her neighborhood and may still be told. The curse of Salem fol. lowed her-~-the old neighbors said "You know she came from Bewitched Salcm.n which had departed from the Biblical Salem of Peace"
 Wiseh's Victim
 Another victim. descendant of a witch who had been hanged in Salem's awful tragedy. lived In Ashford. This parsonage amused herself by sticking pins into her neiRhbor's flesh. One persecuted suffering sister was doubly tormented in discovering that the sil- yer instruments of torture had been mysteriousiy extracted from her own best Sunday-go -to-meeting bonnet, which the witch had eontrived to divest of it's trimmings, when secretly stored away in the valued hatbox in the clos ct of the spare room chamber.
 Supernatural visitations in the form of ghosts were equally common at this period, bringing to light some hidden deed of darkness.

necessitates the enactment of stat
ute defining the jurisdiction of equity
courts"
In relation to Resolution No. 33 Of
the Los Angeles convention, which
proposed to endorse S. 5839 of the
69th congress-, which is approximately
the same as S. 1882 of the 10th con-
gress, in the form as originally intro
duced by Senator Shipstead, the con-
vention adopted the following report:
"The committee is in full accord
with the analysis of the equity power
of the courts as set forth in Resolu-
tion No. 33 and approved the prin-
ciple of the Shipstead bill to which
the resolution refers. 1t is the un-
derstandinE of the committee, how
ever, that there is some slight differ
ence in language, though not in prin-
ciple, between the bill prepared by
the executive council and the bill re-
ferred to in the resolution, and the
committee therefore recommends that
the resolution be referred to the ex-
exutive council for consideration and
such action as the council may deem
wise"
Three Remedies For Problem
There are three ways in which the
problem may be dealt with:
One.-By legislation defining the
equity jurisdiction of the courts as
proposed in S. 1882 in it's original
form.
Two.-By limiting and regulating
the use of the equity power as prov
vided in the substitute bill, which also
bears the number s. 1882, as now
pending in the judiciary committee
of the senate as a subcommittee re-
port.
Three.-By repeating the antitrust
acts or so amending them as to ex-
clude labor from their provisions.
Your committee believes that the
safe and proper course is to adhere to
the principles laid down in the report
adopted at the Los Angeles convne-
ton which we have quoted herein. In
other words, we are convinced that
the remedy is to be found in propo-
sitions one and three combined, as
outlined above; namely, in defining
the equity jurisdiction and in repeal
ing or amending the antitrust and
ainti-combinaton laws. It seems to
Us that both are necessary to estab-
lsh a condition under which govern
ment by law may be restored to it's
proper position Of supremacy over
judges and courts. This course was
provided for in the action Of the Los
Angeles convention and we recon-
mend that that action be reaffirmed.
