Business Now Can Move

Says Lawrence.
Ry DAVID LAWRENCE.

Business throughout the country
Is responding with vieor To the i'm

definition of constitutional Govern

While here and there are disappoint-

privileges and benefits of an artificial

price fixing. the general reaction of
American business institutions is one

Labor is Res assured.
As for labor problems. il has be-
rome the basic principle of successful
industry that wages should not be
the ground for competitive warfare
and that purchasing power can be
retained only bv the higher measure
OF employment.
One thing the NJ r. A. did dot

ORGANIZED American labor. Industrial
executives know now that by con-
rerted action they can maintain
social gains voluntarily, but that an
antitrust prosecution hangs over
their heads if they attempt to use their
concerted activities to exploit the
public either as to prices or wage
cutting.
American labor has not lost its
right to Strike--an economic weapon
which will be strengthened If in
dustry should attempt any general
reduction Of wages or upsetting Of
standards in working conditions.
"Chiseiins" Matter Of Fact.
There. Of course. always will be
"chiselers" The question of what is
a "chiseler' is a matter of fact and
not mere accusation. Many a business
man who faces bankruptcy will cut
wages to stay in the race and thus
afford employment. Ii. is when bust

profit start cutting wages that strikes
become inevitab

FAILURES BLAMED

Some of the Roosevelt administra- =

Capitol Hill expressed resentment to-
day over the influence welded by men
they cali brain trlIsters."
Talking privately, because they
feared the political consequences OF
an intra party argument. they also
expressed regret that they have not
been invited to White House confer
ences over what TO do about NJ r. A.
And, to quote one Of them. they are
considering formal insistent re-
quest that the White House let them
know what is to be done before the
public is informed.
To that, some of the more friendly
replied that the President always con-
suited congressional leaders In the
end, and would do so again this time.
Failures Blamed on Trust"
That reply, however, did not end
the discussion. Some leaders said all
the administration measures so far
held unconstitutional had been draft
ed by brain trusters" and put
through Congress without substantial
change.
One of them expressed II this way:
When President Roosevelt went
into office, there was an emergency,
and we had to do virtually what he
asked without question. We did. And
who took the blame? Not Roosevelt.
Not the brain truSters who wrote the
bills. The fellows who voted for them
got blamed
Another remarked.

1t isn't only the boys who graduated

the Mission daily, come for their
meals with their shoes completely

MOTHER STAYS,
SLEEPLESS, BY

Has Kept Unbroken
Vigil by Injured
Boy Two Weeks

TAKOMA PARK, Md, Dec. 9.
A spark of life was still burning
at the Washington Sanitarium
here today, fed for nearly 500
hours only by a mothers love and
youths courage.
This mothers love for her son
is expressed through self-sacrifice
and devotion displayed in a small
ward on a downstairs floor of the
Sanitarium, where she has watched
faithfully, "a hours a day for more
than two weeks over the horribly
burned body of her son.
The boy, Luther Bell Scott, IT,
of Petersburg, Va, was lighting a
gasoline blow torch at his home
on November 81, preparing to
solder an automobile radiator,
when a valve blew out and sprayed
him with the blazing fuel from his
waist to - chin.
Treated at Once
His mother and father, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. w. Scott, Immediately
loaded the injured boy into the
family automobile and took him
to the office of a physician in
Colonial Heights, Va, where he
was given treatment and then
taken back home. The physician
and parents believing at that time
he was not seriously burned.
Taking her station at the bed
side of her son. Mrs. Scott, never
left it. Three days later the
parents were told the boy must
be taken to a hospital at once.
They brought him here.
Making the journey from
Petersburg to the hospital in a
neighbor'S automobile with her
son. the mother again resumed
her post at the bedside, and has
continued to stay there day and
night, always ready to answer
his call, since November "a.
A Devoted Son
Mrs. Scott, a tired, motherly
looking woman declared:
Luther has always been such
a devoted and affectionate son
to me that I feel that the most
I can do to relieve Ills almost
unbearable suffering in his hour
of need is far too little"
Mrs. Scott has never been in
bed since the time of the accident
nearly three weeks ago. In that
time has slept only for a few min
utes at time in a chair at her
sons side.
