LABOR'S TRIBUTE

Labor in expressing regret at the
resignation of Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes paid him the highest tribute
they could bestow. President William
Green, speaking for Labor, said in
part: "He made. the constitution of
the United States an actual force for
good and a safeguard for the rights
and liberties of the citizens. He refus-
ed to accept the doctrine that the con-
stitution was inflexible and impossible
or application to changing modern in
dustrial and social life. The men and
women of Labor will always hold him
in high esteem and with reverential
regard. In bidding farewell ia this
great public servant, this great jur-
ist, this noble humanitarian, we ex-
press the earnest hope that a man of
his type, character and vision will be
selected to serve as his successor.

injunctions against the rail unions
that ever came from a Federal judge,
1t was obtained from Wilkerson by
Harry Daugherty, then Attorney Gen
eral of the United States, who a few
months before had recommended Will
kerson for the judgeship.
The injunction deprived the shop
men of their elementary rights as Am
erican citizens and threw all the in
fluence of the Government on the
side of the railroad owners. On Sep
TENDER 49,, 1922, the Executive Coun-
Gil of the American Federation of La
Dor, issued a statement condemning
the injunction and urged mass meet
ings to protest against it and to lay
the basis for a proposed impeachment
of the Attorney General. The Coun-
ellis statement said in part:
THE injunction issued against the
Shopmen by Judge Wilkerson on ap-
pllcation of Attorney General Daugh-
erty is a most fragrant violation Of
the Constitution of the United States
and of the laws enacted by our Cong
ress.
mo one apparently is free from its
sweeping provisions. 1t prohibits the
freedom of speech, the freedom of
press and the right of the people peace
ably to assemble to discuss their
grievances
Even a minister of the Gospel in
Indiana was proceeded against for vi
olating the injunction because he
prayed for the success of the shop
men. The editor of the Labor paper in
Memphis was placed under arrest for

FIRST JOBLESS
LAW

The Wisconsin Legislature enacted
the first compulsory insurance law
passed by any state. The law provid-
ed that payments be made in not more
than 10 installments of $40, or SO
percent of workers average weekly
wage. An additional dollar per week
will be added if the worker attends
school during the period of his unem-
ployment. Workers eligible to benefits
are limited to resident employees WHO
lose their jobs involuntary. The law
becomes effective July 1st, 1888, and
will not take effect at all if by that
date $4,000 employers in the state
are covered by unemployment reserve
funds set up voluntarily by the Wis
consin employers.

WILL NOT LOSE
FUNDS BECAUSE
WORK IS STOPPED
United States Govern
memt Appropriations
Will Continue Being A.
Iotted To North Caro-
lima.

Although Governor Gardner has an
nounced hat there will be no more
road building for the present, this does
not mean that the federal aid for road
work will be lost. Half of the ST.
100000 in aid for this fiscal year, now
half over, has been used up, making
the state about even with the fund
But if this remaining $1,4oo,o0o is
not used this year, or any of the fed
eral aid not used next year, it can be
used, even three years after it becomes
available, highway officials say. A few
small projects, partly done, will prob
ably be let for finishing during the
coming months, or small jobs to round
out the federal system may have to
be done, with federal aid.
The North Carolina general fund
had a cash overdraft of ~$114,569.74,
in addition to the two outstanding
general fund notes, of $2,3o0,000 and
,soo,o 900, while the highway fund
had a cash balance OF $7,324,4|2.oS
at the end of the first six months OF
the fiscal year, December 81, the com
bined statement of the auditor and
treasurer shows.
General fund receipts for the six
months were ~ ,2O6,560.13, and the
expenditures were $15,321,129.S7.
The highway fund balance at the be-
ginning of the period was $9'lS4'-
1855 and receipts were $21,63S,637,-
t., while expenditures for the SIX
months amounted to $23,49S,662.2l.
The total state debt is $1S1,Sl1,3A 1,
of which S175,5o9,ooo is funded and
$6,3O2,371 is in temporary loans on
short-term notes.

for loans to farmers, probably through
application to the Agricultural De-
partment, in a manner similar to the
feed and seed loans of last year. The
details of this will be disclosed later
(4)-The loans made will not be
"cheap." Interest of 5 IL or E per
cent will be charged. The bonds to be
issued by the corporation probably
will pay around 4 IL per cent.
E-Loans will not be made to in
dividuals or to bankers personally, and
only on presentation of collateral
deemed by the Board of Directors to
be sound.
Treasury officials do not believe the
entire $4,000 o0,o 900 authorized will
be needed. Availability of the corpo-
ration's money is counted on to loosen
bank credit and boards of funds. But
the demands for railroad loans and for
money for closed banks, if granted in
full, may call for a large amount OF
the funds voted.
Soon after the bill was signed, the
President issued a statement which fol-
lows in full:
II have signed the Reconstruction
Finance corporation act.
eft brings into being a powerful
organization with adequate resources,
able to strengthen weaknesses that
may develop in our credit, banking
and railway structure, in order to per
NIT business and industry to carry on
normal activities free from the fear of
unexpected shocks and retardlng III
fluences.
cts purpose is to stop deflation in
agriculture and industry and thus to
increase employment by the resrora-
ton of men to their normal jobs.
eft is not created for the aid Of big
industries or big banks. Such institu-
lions are amply able to take care OF
themselves. 1t is created for the sup
port of the smaller banks and sinan-
cial institutions, through rendering
their liquid o give renewed
support to business, industry and ag-
riculture. 1t should give opportunity
to mobilize the gigantic strength of
our country for recovery.
Elm attaching my signature to this
extremely important legislation, I wish
to pay tribute to the patriotism of the
men in both houses of Congress who
have given proof of their devotion to
the welfare of their country irrespec-
tive of political affiliation."

COOLIDGE

ooL1D1E
1 heard the latest Calvin Coolidge
ancedote the other night from a gen
tleman who had recently visited the
ex-President at Northampton.
Everywhere l go l find an over
whelming desire to have you back in
the White House, Mr.. Coolidge" my
informant said to him. "You really
ought to run for President again"
Mr.. Coolidge shook his head, with
a faint smile.
NO." he said, cit won't do. The
basis of hat idea is all wrong. They
all want to get rich again"
Which confirms my long held belief
hat Calvin Coolidge has about as
sound common sense and as keen an
understanding of popular psychology
as any living American.
HOOVER
l think there has been a noticeable
change in the public attitude toward
Mr.. Hoover in the past month. At
least, | hear less abuse of the President
and 0 expressions of sympathy.
People are realizing that he has been
unfairly blamed for conditions for
which he was not responsible, and now
that he has presented a sound and COM
plete rehabilitation program to Cong
ress, and Congress has started off by
accepting it, I hear less talk about his
supposed inaction in the face of a Sc
rious crisis.
l have not seen the President for
several months, but friends who have
talked with him lately say that he
acts and talks like a man who had
found the answers to problems that
had been battling him.
Washington's favorite indoor sport
is lying about the President, whoever
the President may happen to be. Mr..
Hoover has suffered from more than
his share of misrepresentation, but he
has acquired the philosophical attitude
of most of his predecessors, who learn
ed not to let pin pricks worry them.

the relief of the unemployed, put tin
boxes at every eating place in town
and asked everybody to drop one cent
in the box before each meal. The sur
prising result is a fund which runs to
$500 a week.
More important than raising money
for the unemployed, it seems to me, is
making sure that this money does not
go to people who could get jobs, but
who will not take them. The other
night in a hotel elevator l heard two
men talking.
"There were forty-two jobs at Sc a
day." said one of them. "The unem-
ployment bureau sent us fifty men and
thirty-six of them refused to work be-
cause they would get their hands dir
ty." They said they could get money
from the unemployment fund to live
on and they would rather do that than
do ''dirty' work.
There is no doubt in my mind that.
in the cities at least, a large part of
the money which kind-hearted people
have contributed to help the unem-
ployed is being spent to keep in idle
ness men who could easily find work
if they were not what Down-Easters
call "choosy."
DOCTORS
Doctors, like everybody else, are not
finding it easy to meet their obliga-
ton or collect their bills these days,
Too many people think that the doc
tor can wait until everybody else has
been paid.
The American Medical Association
has been making a survey of doctors
incomes and reports that it takes al
together about ten years in college and
hospital work and getting a practice
established before the average doctor
begins to earn enough to live on. The
next ten years, or a large part of it,
his surplus has to go to pay for the
cost of his medical training. Very
few doctors get to the point of indie
~pendence in less than twenty years af-
ter starting their medical studies.
Every doctor has to do, and does
do, a certain mount of charity work.
Those whoocan afford to pay have less
excuse for postponing their doctors
bills than for deferring payment of
almost any other debts.
HOLMES
The retirement of Justice Oliver
Wendell Holmes from the bench of
the United States Supreme Court at
the age of n%inety-one removes from
public life o only one of the ablest
and most distinguished of %jurists, but
the only surviving veteran of the Ci-
vii War to hold high public office.
Justice Holmes served as a captain
in the Union Army from 1861 to
1865, and was seriously wounded in
battle three times. His father, the
famous DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes,
was the author of such poems as "Old
Ironsides," 1.-The One-Hoss Shay"
and 1.-THE Last Leaf" as we'll as many
books and essays. Justice Holmes in
herited his fathers literary skill, and
his opinions from the bench were mas
terpieces of simple, plain English.
Very few men in America have had
such a long and distinguished record
of public, service.

kerson's nomination which will be

tor George Norris Of Nebraska. By a
remarkable coincidence, the Semitic ju-
dietary committee is considering anti
injunction legislation by which it is
believed the judicial monstrosities like
the one which Wilkerson issued in
1922 will be prohibited by Federal
law.
