No doubt, he was go- ing to buy his present wife fur scarf, and Gloria intended to see to 1t that the poor creature got . good one.
 "Ah--er--yes," Brock stam- mered. T want to look at your very finest sable scarfs."
 Gloria extracted Q three-sable scarf from the case and draped 1t around her slender throat. "How's this?" she asked.
 "Be eautiful," Brock replied. Whats the price?"
 "Three hundred dollars" Gloria returned.

 "There are cards and envelopes over there on the desk," Gloria replied. .
 Two minutes later, she was back from the sales desk. and Brock with that smarty school boy ex- precision of his handed her an en- velope-enclosed card. Thanks very much" she said. "And come again."

Gloria Martin was the svank- est thing fin all Carillon-Fifth avenues swank shop. Her carriage was that of . queen, her hair- dress was Pierre's latest and sleelk- est, her froclIs were superbiy sim- pie: yet strange to cay, women, as well as men, sought her services when they went to Carillon-Fifth Avenues fur department to buy.
 It was the first cool day of aus ttimn, and business had been brisk since the. shop opened it's doors; but, for wonder, Gloria happened to be free at the particular mo- fnent the thin young girl In the shabby blue suit entered, and mag netized by Gloria's smile, made . straight line for her@
 Good morning, madam" Gloria said, her lovely dark eyes taking in her customer from head to foot. ''What can we do for you today?"
 The girl was, quite obviously, not dressed warmly enough.
 H." she stamfnered, then blushed. "Well, you see, I want to ibok--simply look--at fur neck pieces and maybe, later on. if my husband can afford 1t. I may be able to get one. You see, the days are growing chilly, and I get so cold around the neck
 "But we're expecting baby next month and that'll be very expen- sive. Perhaps, shouldn't even con- sider buying clothes, but thought perhaps you had something around, say, $15-"
 Gloria concealed her grasp. Good heavensi How had this girl ever happened to drift into Carillon- Fifth Avene, the fur department of which had never been known to sell even the mangiest of stofe- martins for less than a s100? My dear" she said kindly, I'm afraid we haven't a thing at that price right now. If you'd care to leave your name with me, though, I could call you up in few days in case our manager marks some of our merchandise down."
 The young woman hesitated, then said, "Thatil be sweet of you. I am Mrs. J. Brock Martin, and my telephone number is Lakeshore O004."
 Gloria steadied herself against glass case containing three perfect silver fox scarfs. Good lord! This poor starved looking person, searching for a $25 neckpiece, was the girl who had caused the di- vorce between Brock and herself!
 Brock had asked her to divorce him, 50 that he might marry "the loveliest creature on earth" And here, Gloria was working at Caril- lion.Fifth avenue, and "the other wofnan," instead of being the glafn. orous beauty Gloria had pictured her, was a shabby little thing hop ing fervently to find @ cheap fur scarf to keep her neck warm! "Lakeshore 0004." Gloria repeated in a voice that almost froze on her lips. Thank you, Mrs. Martin" she said, jotting a notation in her little book. "I'1l remember you if anything turns up."

Labor and the Constitution

Among the dep1orable results of the United
States Supreme Courts decision invaldating the
National Industrial Recovery Act is the convic-
ton forced on working men and women that
they are without the protection of the Federal
Constitution in the field of industrial relations.
Those who own and control our industries en-
ploy millions of working men and women scat
tered throughout all Of the forty-eight States.
Under our system of production, the workers
sell the use of their labor power for a price call
ed wages. The amount of wages received de-
termines the living standards the workers can
buy for themselves and their families. The
length of the work week determines the leisure
the workers have to enjoy some of the wonder
full blessings of our modern civilization, largely
appropriated hitherto by the privileged classes.
Actuated solely by the motive of maximum
profits, employers quite generally attempt to
beat down wages and ~lengthen hours. Because
they are stronger economically than the masses
of unorganized workers and because they have a
monopoly Of work opportunities, employers have
been to a large degree successful in these at
tempts to depress the living standards of large
numbers of working men and women.
These oppressed workers looked to the Gov
eminent for protection against this inhuman eX-
p%loitation decreed by the lords of industry.
Standing on the declaration in the preamble to
the Federal Constitution that one of the objects
of the Government which it established is to
promote the general welfare" Congress met
this just demand of the workers by making the
National Recovery Act the law Of the land.
Firmly convinced that improving the standards
Of labor is definitely connected with the general
welfare, Congress by the Recovery Act author
lied the establishment of fair practice codes I'M
der which it was illegal for employers to drive
wages down below certain minimums, or compel
workers to toll beyond certain maximum hours,
or employ children under sixteen years Of age or
under eighteen years in hazardous occupations.
In the course of time this social-progress law
was appealed to the Supreme Court by a low
wage and long-hour employer and was promptly
held unconstitutional by that high judicial body.
In its decision, the Court told these millions Of
workers that the Federal Constitution does not
give the Government authority to protect OPP
pressed working men and women against the
anti-social policies of subversive employers.
On the contrary, the Court in effect declared
that the Constitution c%onfers on employers not
only the right to impose wages so low that work
ers are unable to buy a decent living for them
selves and their families, excessively long hours
and inhuman work conditions, but also gave en-
ployers freedom to chain thousands of children
to the wheels of industry-all of which outrages

Machinery and Unemployment

The social Importance of the jobless army
problem, with around 100000 able-bodied
adults totally without work and 100000 per-
sons dependent upon public relief for their living,
was stressed by DR.. Irving Langmuir, Nobel
prize winner. in an address before the graduating
class of the Mohawk school, Schenectady, N. Y.
lit told the graduates the seriousness of the
unemployment situation was due to the fact that
there has never been time in the worlds his
tory when such a small fraction of the people
can produce the necessities of life required by
the people as a whole"
The condition pointed out by DR.. Langmuir
has been brought about by the policy Of those
who own and control industry to have inventors
devise machinery through the use of which a few
workers can produce as many commodities in a
certain time unit as a larger number of workers
could produce without the machinery.
Industrial leaders, who control wealth produc-
ton and distribution policies, should have used
this machinery to shorten the hours of labor
without reducing wages, thus affording working
men and women the opportunity to provide
themselves and their families with a constantly
rising standard Of living proportionate to the
workers increased productivity.
Instead of doing this, industrial executives i'm
posed and continue to impose the long work
week, locking out millions of workers for whose
skill and strength the machine has been substi-
tuted, and appropriated as profits an inequitable
portion of increased production. Statistics show
that between 1919 and 1929 the productivity of
industry in the United States increased 50 per
cent, while real wages paid the workers i%ncreas-
ed ouly 27.5 per cent. In 1919, labor received
in wages us per cent Of the value Of goods pro
duced, while in 1920, despite the so per cent in
crease in output, the percentage Of wages to the
value Of goods was los per cent, or less than it
was in 1899.
AS DR.. Langmuir truly pointed out, one phen-
omenon Of our present economic order is the fact
that under machine production a relatively few
workers can produce all of the necessities our
people require. Another phenomenon is that
employers have kept the few working long hours
and ruthlessly locked out millions of so-called
surplus workers to pound the streets in idleness
and be supported by either Government charity
or work relief.
The answer to both of these phenomena is the
compulsory 30-hour week for all industrial
workers without reduction in earnings. This
policy is crystalized in the Black-Connery 30
Hour Week Bill, which has been favorably re-
ported by the Senate Committee on Education
and Labor and the House Labor Committee and
is now awaiting action by the Congress.
The prompt enactment of the Black-Connery
Bill would put millions of jobless to work and
bring to them and their families an approach to
comfort and security which they have not known
during the long misery of permanent %unemploy-
ment.

COPPER MINE STRIKERS
FOR BEATING SCAB

BISBEE, Ariz.-(FP)-Nine strik-
ing miners have been arrested by sher-
lifts deputies after one scab was beaten,
as the Bisbee copper strike continues.
Six Of the workers arrested were To-
cal youths, three Of whom were recent
football stars on the high school team.
Without legal aid these workers
pleaded guilty and were sentenced to
five days in jail. Arson Windsor, pre-
viously arrested in connection with an
attack on a scab, was given 80 days in
Jail.
The condition of Victor Smith, strike
leader and former secretary of the Bis
bee Miners Union, who was shot by
company thug, Ed Porter, was reported
satisfactory. Porter is now at liberty

were prohibited by the Recovery Act.
The inescapable conviction which the Supreme
Courts decision imposes on millions of working
men and women is that so far as protection for
decent wages, hours and work conditions is con-
cerned, they are alien to the Constitution, but
that employers who wish to establish low labor
standards in order to increase profits are thor
oughly safeguarded by that document in the pro-
s~ecution of their nefarious policy.
The great problem now confronting the Amer
lean people is that of expanding the Federal Con
s%titution so that it will include within its pro-
lection the million of men and women who work
