Such activity cannot help but be of assistance in seeking
solutions of the many problems besetg the National

Heretofore members Of the legal profession have

But the bar as whole has failed to take any commanding

Control of Electric Code
Has Vigorous Opposition
By James T. Williams, Jr.

} the Senate on behalf of tk
Finance Committee, said:
"MT. Richberg W0s present
and not only accepted the
amendment but said he thought
it was very beneficial to the
BILL" He suggested only the
insertion of the word "satis.
factory" in line 2 Of the pro.
Uiso, so that it Would reed
"existing s0tisf0ctory relation
ships betWeen the employees
and employers" etc.
Fear Expressed
The National Recovery Ad-
ministrator is alleged to hare
been also present and to have
expressed the opinion that the
amendment was a constructive
one and would be most bene-
ficial.
OF course the Interpretation
Of the much discussed provlso
would depend upon the organi-
Zation of the code authority
which will do the interpreting.
And here is where the issue
is joined between the National
Recovery Administration con-
tending for a code authority to
be controlled by the Edison In
Stitute, which is to appoint
nine members out of IL.
To such control, Secretary
Ickes, the Public Works Admin.
istrator and the general counsel
Of the Public Works Administra-
tion, Mr.. Hunt, are vigorously
opposed, and there will, doubt
less, be much discussion of the
wisdom Of this set-up before any
code for the electric industry
receives final approval.
By the opponents of the code,
as it is now about to go to the
White House, fear is expressed
that its final approval in its pres
ent form would prevent the Fed
eral Government from providing
ing any power yardstick for the
country and deliver a Gripping
blow to municipal power plants.
These opponents contend that
as Federal power plants must
sell large proportion of their
current through private COM
panies, it is essential that the
code authority must be so Or
ganized as to be really co-opera-
tive in the truest sense of the
word.

They desire to be self-sup-

There is a difference between
good-natured, harmless banter

stories told in the presence Of
girls who work.
Fathers, certainly, should be
champions of employed girls.
Not only should they not

thing in order. So the good
pastor came bustling with his
helpers, taking down the holy
day wreaths, putting away the
holy-day candles, laying aside
the nativity scene.
But now, suddenly, there
arose a great clamor and queS-
tioning. For where was the
Christ Child? Everything else
was there in it's place-Mary
and Joseph, the OK and the
ass, the naughty camel, the
kneeling kings-but where, oh
where, was that most treasured
and sacred object, the image
Of the Little Jesus?
Frantically they searched
every nook, up and down the
aisles, into forgotten closets,
but never a trace did they find.
Finally, to Soothe his despera-
ton and cool his heated brow,
the good father stepped out
on the little balcony that hung
above the cobbled street.
And there-could be believe
his outraged eyes?-there, COM

"Sure I did! I said to Him,

But only a child could have
such belief in a plaster image?
Yes, that is true. But that
little child believed in more
than a plaster image. He be-
lieved in love, and kindness,
and the little red wagon of Joy!
He believed that these were the
important things in life, and
that one could have them if one
honestly asked.

One Of the most important
codes now up for final consid-
Grafton is that of the electric
industry. It is expected that it
will soon go to the President for
final approval with the indorse-
ment of the high command OF
the National Recovery Admins
tration.
This code is sponsored by the
Edison Institute and provides
for a code authority which it
sets UP and to which will be
delegated the power of appoint
ing nine members out OF twelve.
Differences of opinion have
developed between the National
Recovery Administration and
the Public Works Administra-
ton concerning the control OF
the code authority as provided
in the set-up awaiting the Presl'
dents final approval.
Points at Issue
One of the points at issue is a
proviso which was inserted in
section 6 of the National Re-
covery Act by the Senate Com
rnittee on Finance.
This proviso reads:
Provided that nothing in
this title shall be construed to
compel a change in existing
sotisfoctOry relationships be-
tween the employees and em-
pIoyers of any particular plant,
firm or corporation except that
the employees of any particular
plant, firm or corporation shall
haze the right to organize for
the purpose of collective bar
gaining with their employer as
to wages, hours of labor and
other conditions of employ
ment."
In committee, objection to
this proviso was made by Sen
ator Wagner of New York,
Senator Norris Of Nebraska,
Senator Costigan of Colorado,
Senator Wheeler of Montana,
Senator La Toilette of Wiscon-
sin, Senator Bone of Washing
ton and Senator Long Of Louis
lana.
These Senators based their
objection upon their earnest be-
lief that this proviso would
nullify the effect of the labor
provisions amendment, and the
proviso was rejected on June 8
last by a vote of 46 to 81.
In the debate that followed,

The Weakest Link
In The Recovery Chain


No chain is stronger than its weakest link
The Government is forging mighty chain to lift the ma
tion to the heights of recovery.
But that chain has one link that is woefully weak.
That link is the attitude which the Government taking
toward its employees IN REFUs1NG TO PERMIT THEM
TO JOIN IN THE RECOVERY MARCH.
That bad link threatens fracture the whole govern
mental program It threatens to drop all back into the
abyss.
AS result of its weakness about million Of ci
zens are failing to pull their weight in the onward march Of
progress.
The whole recovery chain has been constructed to build
up the purchasing power of the entire consuming public
WHEN 1T FAILS TO INCLUDE MILLION PEOPLE IT
FALLS SHORT OF PERFECTION TO JUST THAT EX-
TENT.
We speak Of million people because that is about the
number affected directly by the Governments blind salary
slashing program.
But the indirect effects of this policy extend to millions
more.
EVERY EMPLoYE IN PRIVATE INDUSTRY FEELS
THE DEPRESSING EFFECT OF THE REFUSAL OF THE
GOVERNMENT TO BRING ITS OWN SALARIES INTO
LINE.
So long as the Government persists this backward policy
the private employer believes that he warranted in adopt
ing the same policy toward his employees.
The relatively few millions of dollars which would be
added to Government expenditures result Of returning
salaries to their normal levels would add thousands mil
lions Of dollars to the total payrols of the country
That is what the Government wants and aiming in all
Of its policies.
WHY DOES IT NOT TAKE THE STEP WHICH IS MOST
LIKELY TO BRING ABOUT THE DESIRED RESULT?
WHY DOES IT NOT FORGE NOW A STRONG LINK TO
REPLACE THE WEAK ONE WHICH Is THREATENING
THE STRENGTH OF IT'S MIGHTY CHAIN?

And, now, the year had
turned until the stars hung low
and white over the midnight
hills and the wind smelled Of
violets and roasted chestnuts
and Chinese lilies, and it was
Christmas again in California.
So, once more, the good
pastor Of the little French
church wreathed the altar with
fragrant fir and pine, and set
the candles blazing, and laid
out the old loved scene, with
Mary and Joseph bending over

Kings kneeling beside the hum

Such a wonderful scene it
was, to the small ones who
came scampering down the hill,
peering in through the door,
tip-toeing up the familiar aisle,
now suddenly grown mysterious
with the lights cleaning and
blurring through the scented
shadows and falling, at last, in
a great, golden pool about the
manger where the Christ Child
lay!
A bit frightened, those small
ones, with the strangeness OF
it all. But when they came
at last to the manger, then
there was no more fright. For
there was the little Jesus, so
friendly, looking exactly like
baby Tony or Josephine, whom
they had left at home. So,
though their eyes were still
round with wonder, they laugh
ed easily now; touching His
little hand with their plump,
brown fingers; talking to Him
for He must be lonely. lying
there all alone, so far from
other babies-telling Him about
the holiday fun to come.

The Human Side of the News
By Edwin C.. Hill

Far up in Yukon Territory Of
the Canadian Northwest a rug
ged little man named Andrew
Bahr, clothed in furs, sits by his
campfire while his Laplanders
and Eskimos ride herd on 5000
reindeer. And Andrew Bahr,
smoking his pipe by the leaping
flames Of his night fire, thanks
his lucky stars that his long
trek from Alaska, over the roof
of the world, is nearing it's end.
Sometimes next May, if all goes
well, he will deliver the great
herd to representatives of the
Canadian government at Kitti-
gazuit, just east of the Macken-
zie River Delta, and after one Of
the strangest adventures Of mod
ern times.
It is four years and one
months since Andrew Bahr
rounded up 5000 reindeer on
the Kotzebue Peninsula, away
up in the Arctic Circle, under
the flaming northern lights, and
gave the word for the drive to
start. And now the herd is on
the last leg of the endless Jour-
ney.
This drive of reindeer from
Alaska to feed and clothe Starv-
ing Eskimo in the Mackenzie
River region is one of the epic
stories Of the times. making one
think of the great cattle drives
that used to take place in the
old west, along the Chisholm
Trail, when as many as 10000
longhorn steers at time were
pushed up from Texas to Mon
tana and Wyoming.
Long Trek
It was four years ago that
the Dominion Government con-
tracted with the Reindeer Kings
of Alaksa, the five Lomen
brothers, for 5000 reindeer for
the Eskimos of the Mackenzie
Delta. The improvident Eski-
mos, equipped with the white
mans rifle had destroyed or
frightened away the caribou
which was their life. Famine
and misery descended upon
them, and Canada went to the
help of her strange children
of the old Stone Age.
And so Andrew Bahr, great
est of reindeer herders of the
Far North, assembled the herd
and began the long trek in
November, 1929, through
SwampS and forests over mount
aims and rivers, swinging in a
wide circle close to the Arctic
Ocean.
Month after month and year
after year the great herd
moved southwark, almost as
slowly as a glacier marches to
the sea, ever-flowing southwark
under the flickering green and
purple of the Northern Lights
old Andrew Bahr riding at
point, with the little brown
men from Lapland and the
sturdy Eskimos circling the
restless herd, soothing it with
chanting sing-songs that go
back to the childhood Of the
human race.
It was Just 2S years ago, one
stormy night, that a three-year-
old baby, Ehimpering from

sleepiness, was lifted from It's
gorgeous bed of ivory and jade
and satin, clothed in regal silks
and placed on the throne Of
China. That tiny, sleepy baby
was Suan Tung, the tenth and
last of the emperors of China.
the last Son of Heaven to occupy
the Manchu throne.
And now we hear that once
again Suan Tung, with whom
Destiny has placed curious
tricks-who has been, indeed,
the very football of Destiny-is
to play the role Of an emperor;
this time, emperor of the new
state of Manchukuo, carved by
the imperial power of Japan out
of old Manchuria. For the baby
emperor, Suan Tung, is now Mr..
Henry Pu vi, who has been re-
gent of Manchukuo and who is
to be crowned as emperor.
New Empire
Twenty eight years of age
now, dressed in cutaway coat
and striped trousers, Mr.. Henry
Pu vi has rather the look of a
Spectacled bookkeeper than the
last Of the Manchu kings and
the first of new dynasty. Ever
since 1924 he has been the crea-
ture of Japanese ambition and
intrigue, and around him the
determined sons of Nippon may
be planning to build an empire
far larger even than Manchu-
kuo, which Is as vast as all the
territory which runs from Hud-
son Bay to Pennsylvania and
from New York to Chicago.
For there is more than a
suspicion that the Japanese
armies will be on the move by
spring, Surging southwark into
broken, distracted, miserable
China, over-running and conquer
ing provinces now under the
heel Of looting Chinese bandit
generals, establishing a new
world in a very old Asia.
The man who is today the
leading banker of the United
States steps forward to de-
nounce indefenSible transactions
entered into by bankers in the
speculative mania which pre-.
ceded the crash of 1929. Win
