TINE majority of the Supreme Court has inter-
preted the Cor stitution as fatty excluding from
the domain of Federal regulation 1.-The employment
of men, the fixing of their wages hours of labor and
working conditions and the bargaining in respect
of all these things
If this is a correct Interpretation, then the Fed
eral government is left in the pitiful plight of being
forbidden to try to solve the most important problem
OF the day, which is admittedly unemployment.
I think Col Frank Knox is quite right in chal-
longing Franklin D. Roosevelt to bring the issue into
the campaign The issue is vital and perfectly sim
pie. Is labor a commodity? Let's fight it out AND
let 'em run Roberts.

A DOIefuI Inquiry

NOR am voicing at the moment the complaint
against the court which has been vigorously
carried on by radicals. I am interested to find the
New York Times rather dolefully inquiring if there
is not some way out OF the mining muddle. The
Times wonders whether 1t might not be possible for
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky,
Washington, New Mexico and West Virginia to make
some joint compact concerning the regulation of the
coal industry and then submit it for the approval
of Congress.
DO not know whether not the Supreme Court
would permit this, but, in any case, here is frank
confession that the strict constructionSt attitude
regard to states rights longer meets our neces-
stiles.
To be sure some find the issue as decided both
simple and satisfactory. The Los Angeles Times
calls it "a victory for free labor The Los Angeles
Times means, of course, that it is a heavy blow
against any kind of organization on the part of
workers to secure better working conditions The
New York Herald Tribune says 1.-THE Guffey bill
was so obviously unconstitutional under the prin-
ciples laid down in the Schechter poultry that
even the New Deal legislators hesated to enact it,"
But the phrase obviously unconstitutional is
hardly fair. If the New Deal legislators hesitated
did the members of the Supreme Court, who
waited SO days. 1 think Mr.. Hearst was correct 80
years ago when he said ruled by the judi
ciary and our estate is made happier by the fact
that it is divided judiciary.
If one admits that Justice Sutherland and Justice
Cardozo are equally learned in the law and yet
hopelessly at odds many recent decisions it must
be that the language of the United States Constu-
ton Is less than crystal clear Or to be little more
precise, that the Founding Fathers simply could not
foresee certain kinds of problems which would con-
front us in 1896.

Westinghouse entered at an early
date was that of the Diesel engine.
The company built it's first en-
CINE of this type in 1910. Diesel
engines as mobile power units,
made their first appearance in
boats, but Westinghouse soon be-
gan to experiment with the posi-
bility of using them on railroads.
The first Diesel electric locomo-
tives turned out by Westinghouse
were put into service in 1923 on
the Long Island Railroad and in
Westinghouse own yard serv-
ice at East Pittsburgh.

Rudolph E. Hellmund, chief en-
gineer of the Westinghouse Elec-
. trio and Manufacturing Co., en-
visions the future history of rail-
roads as a three-cornered battle
between steam, the Diesel electric,
and complete identification.
Where the volume of traffic is
as great as it is on the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad between New York
and Washington, Mr.. Hellmund
thinks nothing can beat complete
identification. In the field of the
rail car and the switch engine he
is certain that the Diesel will
win.

VX7ASHINGTON, May 22.-The
wv big thing to watch as a re-
suit of the Supreme Court decision
on the Guffey Coal Act is the ef-
feet on organized labor. The de-
cision was received in high labor
quarters with mixed feelings.
A meeting of high moguls of
the American Federation of Labor
advocates of craft unions) was
held Immediately after the Su-
preme Courts decision. Members
came out of the meeting with
beaming smiles.
Their enemy, John l.. Lewis,
fighting head of the movement for
industrial unions, wore a long
face.
Reason for the glee of con-
sentative craft unionites is that
John Lewis now will be so busy,
with his United Mine Workers
fighting for union wages, that he
will have little time to push his
industrial union movement. This
had been making remarkable
gains, had the craft union heads
worried sick. Reorganization of
their unions meant loss of their
jobs.)
Under the NRA, Lewis had built
up the United Mine Workers from
100000 men to 500,000-the most
powerful union in the country.
The Guffey Coal Act was virtually
his creation. Ii was a govern
ment guaranty of stable wages in
the coal industry.
Now Lewis will have to fight
for those wages with only the
weapons of the United Mine Work
ers. Probably the industry will
witness a series of strikes, plus
a Left policy by Lewis, and a de-
cided strengthening of Labor sem
tirnent for Roosevelt.
A T first blush, the adverse de-
N cision of the District of CO.
lumbia Court of Appeals in the
Bound Brook On. j. Resettlement
case looked like a bad break for
the New Deal. The court ruled
that Congress had no power to
delegate the granting of $4,800,-
100000 in Works-Relief to the
President without specifying the
projects for which it was to be
used.
This looked as if every project
built by Harry Hopkins was I'M
constitutional.
1t even looked as if peace or
CARNATIONS might file suit against
the government and prove the
entire naval building program I'M
constitutional. Most warship con-
struction was undertaken with
funds allocated by Roosevelt from
the general Public Works grab
bag, without specific appropria-
tons by Congress.
Atty. Gen. Cummings read over
the decision second time, how
ever, dI1ll OCC4OC0 GI4C4C Wdo Az
cause to be worried. Congress
could pass another act specifically
listing the projects for which
Roosevelt already had allocated
the money.
This is why Cummings moved
slowly IN appealing the case.
>Note-The three Court of APP
peals justices who ruled against
the New Deal, Van Orsdel, Robb
and Martin, were appointed by
Teddy Roosevelt and Harding.

Acheson, once was ousted by F.

PROM the cloud-piercing
towers of New York's
skyscrapers to the marble
facades of Washington's
government buildings is
225 miles. In perfect ease
and comfort you can travel
those 225 miles in just 225
minutes.
This remarkable feat has been
made possible by the largest and
fastest streamlined electric loco
motives ever built, pulling the
Congressional Limited over the
PennSylvania'S new electrified
tracks. They maintain the mile-a-
minute average for the journey.
Actually the train makes six stops
during the trip and Sc, in between
times, it is frequently travelling
faster than a mile minute. On
no other railroad are such heavy
trains handled at such high speeds
and with no other type of power
would this be possible.
1t is highly appropriate that
this most recent triumph of the
railroad industry and the cleo
trical industry should connect the
nations center of business and
center of government. Experts
believe that on this stretch the
Pennsylvania has set the stand
ard for operation that the future
growth of the United States will
require of its main rail arteries.
This electrified line is today
one of the worlds great arteries
of commerce and travel. Over it
the greater percentage of the
north and south traffic of the
Eastern Seaboard is moved. In
the zone served by the line lie
many of Americas large centers
of population, New York, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore, Washington,
Newark, Trenton, Wilmington.
ELECTRICITY is the life blood
~ of this great traffic artery of
the nation. Electric power, gener-
ated in great plants along the
way, flows into the overland troll
ley lines. From these lines the
mammoth electric freight engines
and the powerful streamlined pas
senger locomotives draw their
power that keeps them moving
quietly and swiftly.
Let us look at the locomotive
which pulls the Congressional
Limited. 1t is one of 100 similar
locomotives in use on the line. A
smooth and cleaning exterior re-
places the innumerabie gadgets
and pistons of the steam locomo-
tive. 1t starts quietly. The hiss of
steam, the throbbing of pistons.
the cloud of smoke, are all miss
ing. So quietly does it get under
way, so quickly does it accelerate,
that the whole thing seems like
magic.
The major portion of the equip
ment which generates the cleo
tricity for the Pennsylvanias New
York-t TO- Washington line and
locomotives in use on it were built
by Westinghouse Electric and Man
ufacturing Co., whose engineers
started to experiment with the
idea of railroad identification soon

STAMFORD, Conn, May 22.-Thirty
years ago William Randolph Hearst
telegraphed to Arthur Brisbane and said:
"Must be cautious in attacking courts, but,
nevertheless, necessary to explain to the
people the fact that they are governed by
the judiciary. The corporations realize the impor-
lance of the judges and have secured most of them

judges interpret them; and they
seldom fail to interpret them as
the corporations desire"
1t Is unlikely that Mr.. Hearst
will duplicate any part of that
message in whatever comment he
cares to make on the Guffey coal
decision. In 1906 Mr.. Hearst had
not yet taken over Hitler and the
Republican Party. He will not
follow now John L. Lewis, who
has just said, 1T is sad common
tary upon our form of government

preme Court seems designed to

= SO DR.. VIM. Moulton Marston,
~ psychologist. argues with u mass
of evidence in Esquire. He thinks
the running wild" tendency far
stronger in woman's nature than in
mans. He finds women enjoy more
than men bull fights, getting
frightened to DEATH going into
danger, killing people fo2 the mere
fun of it, etc. He cites a holdup
where the girls stayed to murder the
victim and gleefully watched him
die while the men were satisfied
merely to get the loot and get away.
In his experiments on men and
womep's emotions at Columbia he
found women three times as ex-
plosive as men. Sorry, gentlemen,
but he thinks girls run wild after
men not from the males masculine
allure but just because they like to
run wild anyhow.
