HOUSE RECEIVES BILL
FOR SUPREME COURT
TConfinned from Firu Pagf]

Continued from FHT FdgfJ
although if it should be passed by
the House, it would have to so to
the Senate for the consideration of
that body.
Should this bill to create SUI
preme court fail to pass at this ses-
sion there could be no provision for
such a court for at least four years
because the bill would have to be
introduced and passed at two sue
cessive sessions of the General As
sembly.
The Supreme Court bill, together
with the so-called New Castle Coun-
ty Levy Court ripper" bill, was
very largely responsible for the
long drawn-out session of the Cen
eral Assembly last winter. Whether
sentiment for the bill has changed
has not been disclosed.

NCE upon a time in the
~ town of Dansville there
lived a slip of girl
named Margaret Brown. She
was the daughter of a farseeing
father, who desired the best for
his family. About that time a
lady from Boston came to Dams
Vile, there to seek better health
at the Sanitorium. AS her
strength returned, she was
grateful for it and in turn
wanted to benefit others who
might need help during Distress
ing times. This girl was called
Clara Barton. Fifty-twO years
ago, that was the beginning of
the Red Cross work in the
United States. The Margaret
Brown spoken of was none other
than our townswoman, Mrs.
Wilbur Hammond, mother of
Willis Hammond and Mrs. Har-
rison Baldwin, of New Haven,
Conn. 1t is the happy privilege
of Mrs. Hammond to have been a
charter member of that first
chapter of Red Cross, called The
Clara Barton Chapter, No. l.
During all of these years Mrs.
Hammond has been very modest
about the honor and a few
months ago the writer happened
upon what she thought would
make pleasant reading for Mrs.
Hammond's friends. In speaking
of Miss Barton, Mrs. Hammond's
recollections of her were filled
with the kindly and persevering
character of mankind's benefac-
tor, and of her fathers interest
in placing her name upon the
roster of that first Red Cross roll
call. 1t is a high honor to Mil
ford to have, perhaps, the only
Delaware woman whose associa-
tions with Miss Barton were
personal. This brings to mind
the present roll call. Have you

V0|DEDBY JOHNSON
N. R. A. Faces New Test in
Action Against Restau-
rant Employer.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NJ R. AS grip on the Nation was at
a new test today in the first case of an
employer deprived of his Blue Eagle.
Theodore G. Rahutis, Gary, Ind,
restaurateur. was under orders from
Hugh S. johnson to cease displaying
and surrender his N. R. A. insignia
JohnsonS command left to the public
the final decision on how much the
Blue Eagle means to store window
and business house.
johnson telegraphed Rahutis the
Gary Compliance Board had reported
he was violating the minimum wage
and maximum working hour provisions
of President Roosevelt's Unemployment
agreement
Points to Refusal.
Even if it is not true. your refusal
to come forward with some explanation
when respectfully asked to do so by
your local board indicates you are not
willing to cooperate with the President
in his recovery program" the admins
traitor added. You will refrain from
using the Blue Eagle in advertising or
otherwise"
A few hours after sending this tele-
gram-the first case of an employer los
ing his Blue Eagle-Johnson told the
American Federation of Labor last night
that loss of the Eagle was "a terrific
economic punishment" He also stated
formally that similar action will be
taken against flagrant violators in other
sections.
In Gary, Rahutis denied he had vio-
lated the code, and asserted his estab-
lishment had been operating on basis
more favorable to employees than re-
quired.
Tells of Employment.
1--WE have been employing our help
not more than Sc hours week." he
said, land paying S44 per month. We
provide three meals a day without de-
ducting from employees pay and make
no charges for uniforms. Besides that,
we require our employees to work only
nine hours a day and give one day a
week off,"
johnson said the action against
Rahutis was but a forerunner of others
against fragrant violators Of the Presi-
dents unemployment agreement.
The recovery administration said
Rahutis' employees had complained he
was requiring them to work longer than
provided by the Presidents re-employ-
ment agreement and were paying less
than the minimum wages required. It
was charged that one employe was
forced to work 81 hours in two days at
IA cents an hour.

announced today he would not with
draw his charges against Justice F..
Dickinson Let's of the District Supreme

motion for new trial following con-
viction. This motion was denied and
the attorney took an appeal.
In the brief submitted to the Court
of Appeals he accused Justice Let's
and United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover of falsifying the record in the
case. A motion to strike out this por-
ton of the brief was filed by the
United States attorney and granted by
the Court of Appeals.
Affidavit of Prejudice.

on an affidavit of prejudice filed against

Justice Let's and Rover more than IA
months ago and mo court has ever
dared hold that they sent up true
bill of exceptions. nor has the Attorney
General of the United States or any
