 Blazing virgin timber rlnged the Chippewa harbor settlement on Isie Royale in Lake Superior. Coast guard cutters and private vessels stood off shore ready to remove re- Sortists and fishermen as the flames advanced within Q half mile of their homes.
 Nearly 60,000 men fought the fires. Minnesota officers sent 10000 into the Superior National Forest north of Duluth to try and control the fire there. Wisconsin officials, fear ing spread of the Minnesota fires into the Bayheld-Superior district, maintained lB,000 fire fighters and scouts. Several thousand more pa- trolled partially-controll fires in other sections of upper Michigan.

Childish and Petty.

The deep-seated fundamentals which
have brought about q split In the ranks
of American labor reflect honest differ
ences Of opinion over methods and OBJ
jectives which deserve and In most cases
are accorded mutual respect by the dis
putants. BY contrast, the attack on Will
liam Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, brought in the
form Of charges relating to his conduct
as member of the United Mine Work
ers, is petty, unnecessarily personal and
spiteful. If John L. Lewis, president Of
the United Mine Workers and Mr..
Green's rival for the leadership Of or
ganized labor, is responsible for the at
tack, 1t brings him no credit.
Mr.. Green has achieved the presidency
of the American Federation of Labor
through his membership In the United
Mine Workers. The suspension Of the
United Mine Workers from the A. r.
of L., along with nine other unions afiili-
ated with Mr.. Lewis Committee for In
dustrial Organization, was concerned
with Issues and not personalities. But
for Mr.. Green's part in the suspension

action he has been called on to answer
charges which, If sustained, probably
would result in his expulsion from the
United Mine Workers. The plain intent
Of the move against Mr.. Green is to
pull the carpet from under him. SO to
speak, with the thought that II he loses
his union card he would no longer be
eligible to hold office In the A. F. Of l..
But, as Mr.. Green could obtain member
ship. in some other union, the attack
on his personal status is a gesture mani
festly designed for effect in advance Of
the A. F. of L. convention in Tampa next
week,
Aside from the merits of his cause
Mr.. Green has conducted himself with
dignity during the protracted difficulties
over the C. I. O., refraining from per-
sonalities and keeping strictly to the
issues. He has thus established rule
of conduct that might with profit be

of an infiammatory poison In the minds
of many of those who are addicted to 1t.
But It is argued that majority of the
people want that variety OF fever-pro-
voking drug. Every effort toward the
improvement Of radio program material
is met with the theory that jazz is popu-
lar and that. in a democracy. the masses
are entitled to pressed down and rum
ming over portion of whatever they de-
sire. Coercive correction of the existing
evil almost certainly would create q
storm of protest from those who would
insist that music should be kept free,
that the air waves should be exempt
from censorship. Indeed, the fagtime
public might suggest that, since it con-
stitutes a majority, it ought to dictate
broadcasting policy. 1t would follow that
the serious music for which Prof. Dress
kell appeals would disappear altogether
denouement which, experimentally,
might be constructive in its result. 1t
is difficult to imagine a more drastic
reaction than that which would ensue
from obliging the partisans of jazz to
listen to nothing else. Logically, they
soon would be in the condition of the
small boy who was punished for stealing
chocolate drops by being given barrel
of them to eat.
Meanwhile. the Federal Communica-
tions Commission and numerous broad
casters are doing their best to promote
keener interest in music worthy of
discriminating appreciation.

Justice Brantleis at Eighty.

1t would be difficult for his country
men to put into words the appreciation
which they entertain for Associate JUS
tice Louis d. Brandeis. Such gratitude
and respect defy expression. Also, 1t
happens that the great jurists modesty
prompts him to avoid acclaim. Well
meant attempts to pay him homage
usually have failed for lack Of his own
cooperation.
But at the moment when he celebrates
his eightieth birthday, Mr.. Brandeis
must not forbid his friends the privilege
of q gesture of their affection. In the
very nature of things, it may not be
adequate; yet 1t is sincere, deeply felt
and notably honorable in its inspiration.
The people he has served cannot be ex-
pected to stifie their natural instinct to
manifest the high regard in which they
hold him as q man, . citizen, q patriotic
liberal philosopher and an expounder
exists.
Mr.. Brandeis represents in his per-
sonality and temperament many of
those characteristic values which the
world likes to consider necessary in the
composition Of the ideal American. He
is democratic in thought, conservative
in manner. generous and tolerant, altru-
istic in the purposes of his life. His
career already is one which youth may
adopt as pattern, and his example will
be light for after ages
Meanwhile, contemporary thousands
respectfully offer their congratulations
and the traditional wish for many happy
returns Of Mr.. Brandeis' natal anniver-
sary. II his reticence inhibits a more
fulsome display of their devotion to him.
1t is but another reason why they love
him.
