What Has Happened?

Maybe it was the effect of placing Major Alvan Waldo Hyde of the Cover nor's Foot Guard on the board or the elec- tion of Edwy l.. Taylor to the chairman ship that caused the Public Utilities Con- mission to declare itself in need of more powers. It has just recommended to Governor Wilbur L. Cross laws diverting new powers to itself. All have been voiced on several occasions by spokesmen, mainly, of the democratic party. Right now the powers asked are contained in the democratic platform of 1884.
 Tn the main the demands are that the commission be empowered to institute rate proceedings on it's own authority instead of awaiting a petition from interested patrons of various utilities; it could make inventories and appraisals of properties; it would have authority over issuance of securities, loaning and borrowing ot money, and expenditures for other than ordinary business purposes and maJor capital improvements; it would also have authority over relations between holding and operating companies.
 All these rights have been suggested for some years now by the leading au- thorities in the public utility field. When Governor Cross first came into office he tried to replace member of the commits sion, whose term had expired, with Pro- lessor Richard J. Smith of the Yale Law School, an acknowledged authority in the field of public utility law The Legislature, republican controlled, baked. But that really was the beginning of the end for the old commission which for so many years actually constituted nothing more than figurehead
 It's membership now includes two dem- ocrats (some of the democratic leaders express annoyance at this statement) and one republican, the chairmanship being vested in the democratic side of the house. It has always been customary to blame the laws under which the commission operated for it's inactivity. Now that the board itself has taken notice of this, we may look for something in the way of action. It will be another thing whether the leg islature recovers from it's surprise in time to pass the legislation that is asked and that is necessary to keep the commits sion in tune with things.

Unemployment Not Accidental

According to Arthur Henderson, the noted Englishman who received the Nobel Peace prize for 1884, unemployment is one of the most fundamental problems with which the civilized world is confronted today. In recent article, he reviews the development of this problem in Great Brl- tain. During the 50 years preceding the World War, unemployment in that coun- try averaged less than per cent of the normally employed work people. In bad ! years it rose as high as 10 per cent, but 1t was often as low as per cent.
 Handling such unemployment seemed fairly simple. It arose from changes m the reserve of labor, the unequal develop. ment of industries, lack of mobility Of labor, and cyclical trade disturbances. Remedies were available, such as organi- zation of the labor market, establishment of employment exchanges, development Of a continuing policy of public works and unemployment insurance.
 Since the World War, the problem has been getting out of hand. Since 1921, in no single year has unemployment been less than 10 per cent of insured work people on the registers. Since 1929. 1t has more than doubled, standing now at 2z per cent. Other industrialized countries have had a similar experience.
 "It can now be taken as proved, in my judgment" writes MT Henderson, that postwar unemployment is the product of new economic forces of which we scarcely realize the existence before the war. We have, I believe, to face the fact that un- employment cannot be treated as more or less accidental feature of the modern ln- dustrial system. It is one of the economic and social consequences of power produc- ton, and the right view to take of 1t IS that it represents in essence the enlarge ment of the opportunities of greater wealth, well-being, and leisure for all. Developments in the technique of produc- ton have imposed upon us the duty of organizing better and more equitable distribution of the food, clothing, houses and articles of use which we could now bring into being in ample quantities to satisfy the needs of all; and of organiz- ing likewise better and more equitable distribution of work and of the leisure that accrues to machine production"
 His views, which are also the views of many thoughtful Americans, deserve ser ious study.

Fog And Then Some

How would you like to live in a place where there is fog 100 days in the year? It's not unusual for that to occur on the island of St Pierre in the Miquelon group, ten miles south of the coast of Newfound- land. You've probably heard of St Pierre as the paradise of the rum-runner. That was in the heyday of prohibition in the United States. St Pierre, which incident ally was named for the patron saint of the French firshermen, can no longer depend upon the bootleg trade. Repeal has upset all that.
 St Pierre is unique in more respects than those mentioned above. It is the last foothold of France in North America. If you recall your history, you will remem- Der the far-flung possessions of France in the so-called New World. Slowly she lost them, some through war, others through sale. Today St Pierre and other small is- lands in this group constitute the last stand of France and one she guards a bit zealously at that, although not in the way of mighty Qualifications or armed guards.
 In St Pierre dwell real Frenchmen and women, although many of them now can- not claim to be natives of the French mainland. An important fishing center in 1884; then the illicit rum center of the 1920-33 era the Miquelon Islands to- day are slowly but surely becoming the last resting place of a loyal little group of French who knew no other home and who want no other. There they will live till they die hoping that they have reared sons and daughters just as loyal and re- solved as firmly to live and die on the bar ren shores of St Pierre, where no tree grows and the only dirt is brought in by the passing ships.
 There it is that graves must be blasted out of the rocky lodges before the dead can be lowered to their last resting places. There it is that the only food readily obtainable is cod from the sea. Yet in such an apparently inhospitable spot gleams all the color and life of a French city. It is admirably reproduced by these natives so far from the mother country. It is hard for the visitor to grasp it all Patriotism at it's highest pitch may safely be said to exist among the residents of St Pierre gradually re- turning to state of poverty, because the people of the United States scrapped law that had reduced this nation of ours to one of discontent and suspicion.

 Shipstead looked around the room carefully. Then, in wnis- per, he confided:

 Instead he joined the law firm which at one time might have been called O'Neal, O'Neal. O'Neal and O'Neal. For the firm consisted of his father; his brother Joseph, recent mayor of Louisville; his brother Merit, now commonwealth's attorney: another brother and himself.
 Emmet built up his reputa- ton not upon the law alone but on the knowledge of local his- tory. They say of him in Louis- vile:

because 1t expected to abolish them.
 Putting two and two together, lefty reached the conclusion that If the Kansas City and Cleveland jobs could be abolished, so could that in San Francisco. He would then bc ou on limb.
 So, remembering the over whelming desire of Henry Nor genthau to kick him out of the treasury to bigger and softer things, lefty called his stenogra- pher. And with perfectly straight face he dictated a let ter expressing deep appreciation for the high honor being con- ferred on him but stating that he preferred not to go to San Francisco.
 In unified treasury circles there Is now talk of asknig con- gross to abolish the job of comp troller of the currency.

 Into the office of Nevada's popular Senator Pat McCarran walked Senator Henrik Shipstead of Minnesota. On his face was a serious look. Waiting until the secretary had left the room, he closed the door and began:
 Pat, they tell me you're an expert criminal attorney. I'm in a bad mess, and wondered if you could find time to help me out"
 The expansive heart of Me- Cararan was touched.

Press Comment
PUBLIC UTILITIES REFORM,
 PERHAPS.
(Hartrord Times,

For a score of years. or nearly ever since Connecticut has had public utilities commission, at tcmpts have been made to persuade the legislature to increase the power of the commission, chiefly
 by giving it authority to initiate rate schedules.
 The public service corporations have presented united front against such legislation. If one | wanted to see their attorneys and lobbyists out in force he had only
 to attend the hearings on the al- most biennial bills to this effect
 and there they would be in im- pressive array.
 Governor Cross made propos- al to increase the power at the
 public utilities commission one cf the five major recommendations of
 his first inaugural message. The bill designed to carry out his rec
 ommendation met the usual fate. The incident was repeated two years ago. He made the matter
 a campaign issue again last year and now the public utilities com | mission recommends to him pro- posals for Legislation to increase
 It's authority with reference 10 rates, over the issuance of secur-
 itics and in certain other dirce- tions
 While the attitude of public
 service corporations has not changed, we should dcem that 1885 would offer better oppor- tunity than previous years to se-
 cure this desired and desirable
 Legislation.
 If so, the attitude of the na- tional administration at Washing ton will be factor in 1t. Public | service corporations, particularly those engaged in the electrical business, are concerned over tho Tennessee valley enterprise and
 over the presidential threat to as-
 sist municipalities in setting up
 their own electrical plants. Such
 corporations being under govern
 mental fire they may be expected
 to show something less than their | usual resistance to the increase in | public control over them. Better
 for them n greater degree of con-
 trol than the building up of a
 public sentiment favorable to the entrance of the government into the power business.
 Possibly, therefore, we may look
 with considerable hope toward the prospect of securing in 1885
 some needed changes in Connecti-
 cuts admittedly weak public utii- ities law.

Reading The Papers Of A Century Ago
By BRUCE CAPTION

On Sept IS, 1908, the London Observer hailed the new steam To- comotive with the following par agraph:
 Tt has been some time an- nounced, that the New Machine for travelling without horses, being impelled entirely by Steam, was matched to run 24 hours against any horse in the Kingdom. This bet, 50 novel in the sporting world, will be decided on Wednesday and Thursday next"
 This quaint paragraph is just a sample of the sort of reading to be found in News From the Past" q collection of British newspaper and magazine news stories, comments and editorials compiled by Yvonne french (yes, that's right: ffrench).
 Here, for instance, we have the editorial which the London Times printed on the battle of Trafalgar and the death of Lord Nelson; the brief paragraph which told how Sir Arthur Wellesley (later the Duke of Wellington) had been or. dered to Cadiz with his army; the review with which the Edinburgh Review greeted Lord Byron's first book-of poems (and very critical tt was, tool; the London Times an nouncement of the defeat of the U. s. ship Chesapeake by the Shan. non--and 50 on.
 It makes a surprisingly interest ing book. There Is a fascination in reading of historic events in the very words with which they were announced to contemporaries; fur thermore. the inclusion of adver- tisements, human interest" ar- ticles and the like provides an ex ceiltn picture of English life in past generations.

Washington, Jan 3.-The secret fear of union leaders at this session of congress Is the enactment of a com pulsory labor arbitration act.
 This concern has not been soothed by the private opinions of several high administration executives who favor a measure that would outlaw strikes.
 There is powerful industrial pressure for such a law. The National Manufacturers Asso- citation is openly advocating it.
 What the unionites fear most is that the employers will de- mand such concession If Sec tion "a is strengthened.
 Labor wants this bitterly con- troversial statute fortified, par ticularly to ban company unions. It wants the majority rule inter- pretation of the National Labor Relations Board, in effect, writ ten into the law.
 There Is a reasonably good chance of winning this demand.
 But in return Labor may have to give ground on unrestricted direct action. This It's leaders are much opposed to doing. FRIJOLE
 Vice President Jack Garner and New York's Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia are old friends.
 They served many years to gether in the House, and while often on opposite sides they al- ways maintained warm personal relations.
 Last week while in the capi- tai to confer with the president on plans for municipal power plant, LaLGuardia paid his. re- spects to Garner.
 "Why, frijoIe," the vice-presi. dent shouted when he saw him, "how are you, anyway, =. ..
 A friend who accompanied La- Guardia asked him afterwards what Garner meant by "frijole".
 "Oh," the mayor. laughed, "that's as close as he can come to Florcllo."

Good old jovial Uncle Sam might do well to put bit of sting into his voice when he converses with the Japanese ambas- sador about this proclivity of Japanese residents of the states to take pictures of such things as U. s. battleships, forti- fications, etc. There may have been no harm in this latest episode, answering the description above, but we leave to your imagination what would have happened in foreign country had an American citi- zen been detected in the same act We're just bit too kindly in this respect. We're not quite suspicious enough or blunt enough to tell foreigners to mind their own business. They don't mind telling us, so turn about is more than fair play even in this one instance. We don't think the Japs are any more privileged to take snapshots of our ships than any American citizen. And in these days we don't think it pays to be paternal.
