 He rose and uncovered his head as she passed out. Marge carried
 with her all the way to her apart ment the memory of his engaging smile, and his careless banter. And he had said she was the prettiest female he had seen in New York! When Marge opened the door to

 their animated voices made Marge
 feel isolated and alone. Every where there were men and women
 together. For her there was no one. She hadn't minded so much her first few weeks in New, York. She had met a few girls, but had been so busy with her new job that there had been time for little else.
 Now, however, it was different: The Christmas rush was over and she had been kept on in the departm ent store, with two full days 8 week fer leisure, at that. Marge was unused to being alone. In the small Western town where she lived, the social life was free and easy, every one knew every one else.
 She began to wonder wistfully what her family was doing that | afternoon, if Freddie Meyers had ! come over to see her sister, if {. |. Then she was sure some one had taken the seat beside her, She
 turned her head slightly with her l eyes lowered, and saw the angular crossed legs of a man, a young | man, she supposed, from the colle- | giate cut of the tweed trousers, | the strong, substantial brown sport shoes.
 She felt he was looking steadily
 at her, and a little i'll at ease, she gazed deliberately out the win

 came the tune of a hurdy gurdy.

 Marge opened her purse, fumbled for coin. The young man was

 while the young man got down on 1 his knees in an effort to recover the purse and it's contents. Marge whispered, I'm sorry. So

LINES FROM LIMITATIONS FROM
 IMMORTALITY
Good Evening.

IMMORTALITY" There was a time when meadow, grove and
 stream, The earth, and every common sight, To me did seem Apparalld in celestial light, The glory and the freshness of a dream. It is not now as it hath been of yore;- Turn wheresoe'er l may, By night or day. The things which have seen l now can see
 no more. The rainbow comes and goes, And lovely is the rose, The moon doth with delight Look round her when the heavens are bare, Waters on a starry night Are beautiful and fair; The sunshine is glorious birth; But yet know, whe'er go, That there hath passed away glory from
 the earth.

Attempting to Scuttle Unemploy-
ment Insurance

According to an Associated Press dispatch
from New York City, a group of corporation ex-
e%cutives, whipped into action by President
Roosevelt's declaration that unemployment in
surance would be given a prominent place in his
program of social insurance legislation, is mobi-
lizing the officials of big business to draw up
an unemployment insurance BASED on sound
business principles" for presentation to Congress
as soon as the Presidents recommendation is
submitted
The dispatch says that big business executives
are fearful that "jockeying" in congressional
committees and on the floor of the Senate and
House of Representatives might produce a
measure detrimental to business interests
Therefore, they are going to save the day for
social progress and the iobless by persuading
Congress to write a law favored by business eX-
~ecutives for the benefit of business.
The business executives are the same men,
who, through their ownership and control of
American industry and commerce, have locked
the gates to employment against over ten mil
lion able-bodied adults and reduced them and
their families to the restitution which comes
from inability to sell the use Of their labor pow
er in the production of wealth and the perform
ance of service.
They are the same men who have taken the
lead in so thoroughly %sabotaging, in the interest
of profits, the Presidents unemployment pro-
gram under the National Industrial Recovery
Act, that for month after month the number of
iobless has increased until it now stands at
nearly eleven million.
According to the views of these overlords Of
employment opportunities, one would conclude
that the object Of unemployment insurance is
to benefit business instead Of the jobess. Of
course, the reverse is true.
The duty of Congress is to enact a liberal
unemployment insurance measure that will
live up to its title and become the basis for
a~ffording adequate relief for the jobless dur
ing specific periods of unemployment, re-
CARELESS of its effect on business. Organic
ed labor will use all of its influence to see
that such legislation is enacted.
When such a law is passed, it will be the job

Congress Fight Planned
Compulsory MIitarism

WASHINGTON-(FP)- Demands
that Congress Withhold funds from land

military training will be made at the
coming session. This move, which
Sen. Frazier says he will sponsor, is
an outcome Of the U. S. Supreme Court
decision unfolding compulsory military
training in state universities and col
leges.
Plans are also being made to carry
the issue before state legislature, not
ably in Ohio, where 8 students were
dismissed from the state university
last spring for refusing to take mill
tary training.
Tie decision Of the Supreme Court,
which was unanimous, spoke in part
of the "well-night limitless extent of
the war powers" of the government"
in the last extremity to compel the
armed service OF any citizen in the land
without regard to his objections or his
views in respect of the justice or NOR

general"
Justices Brandeis, Stone and Cardozo,

of the Supreme Court, contented in a
separate statement that there is no
occasion at this time to mark the limits
of governmental power in the exaction
OF military service, when the nation is

Argentina Wins

The losses of the long legal battle of Ameri-
can and British packers to prevent the Govern
ment of Argentina from regulating the meat
packing industry did not receive much notice
in the newspapers of the United States.
Confronted with combinations in restraint of
trade by the packers, to the deteriment of the
cattle r~aisers, the Argentina Government enact
ed a law setting up a meat control bureau under
which the Minister of Agriculture instructed the
packers to disclose their cost accounting systems
and other so-called commercial secrets. Seven
American and British concerns, including the
one owned by Swift & Co., were fined 5000 pesos
each for refusing to permit government repres-
e~ntatives to examine their books. The manager
of the Anglo American Company was arrested
for instructing employees to answer none of the
questions asked by government accountants.
In addition to these subversive actions to
thwart the purpose of the government the com
panies, in accordance with the traditional prac-
tice of the packers in the United States, attack
ed the constitutionality of the law in the courts
on the ground that it infringed the freedom of
labor, industry and and the inviola-
bility Of private papers guaranteed by the Argen-
tina constitution. The two lower courts upheld
lHC COiolllullOldllby VI IC ldW. 4NOW llC Cup
rene Court, in an outstanding decision affirm
ing the opinion of the lower courts, knocks into
smithereens the arguments about liberty put
forth by the packers.
Holding that the meat-trade law made it nee
essary for the government to have complete in
formation regarding the operations of the pack
ers and that the only way this could be acquired
was through access to their books, the court
said:
Otherwise the companies would have the
livestock industry completely at their mercy
by means of distribution of purchasing mark
cts, arbitrary establishment of prices, I'M
just preferences, arbitrary classifications of
cattle, and shipping combines for the expor-
tatiOn of products.
can exaggerated idea of industrial liberty
would thus place the companies in a position
of doing that which they consider the state
is not entitled to to control and regulate
one of the country's most important sources
of wealth."
Competent observers express the view that
the growing demand in Argentina for govern
ment control of all foreign-owned businesses
will result in this decision of the Supreme Court
being used to authorize government examination
of other foreign companies.
