The latest suggestion of the
Presidents friends furnishes an
amazing example of the progress
and development of ideas.
When President Roosevelt was
inaugWated, the Black bill forcing
q 30-hour week was quickly passed
through the Senate and was about
to be put through the House. The
MIRA Act was hastily improVi5ed. 1t
is now conceded that the force
which set that movement afoot was
the Black bill The Administration
was willing to make provisions for
the limitation of hours of work and
for minimum wages. But it be-
lieved this could be done best by
agreement among employers.
TIME NRA Act was then put to-
a gether permitting employers to
enter agreements Of all sorts
about prices, trade practices, pro-
duction, wages. When critics OBJ
jected to these price-fiXing and
production controls, friends of the
President said they were necessary
In order TO get an agency under
which wages could be dealt with
by agreement, concessions had TO
be made to business. The conceS-
sions were the suspension of the
cation of price-fiXing and trade
practice provisions in the MIRA.
At the time it seemed to me that
this was a dangerous experiment
because 1 felt that if it were per-
mitted to continue it would develop
strong controls for price and trade
practice matters and ever weaker
controls for wages and hours.
Then the NRA was declared UNI
constitutional. The Guffey Act
was passed providing little NRA
for the bituminous coal fields. 1t
provided an organization like the
Wagner Act for the coal fields to
deal with labor. 1t permitted code
authorities to deal with price
fixing and production.
II II
TINE Supreme Court has now de-
i clared that act unconstitu-
lional. But it seemed to suggest
that similar price-lxing provisions
alone would be legal
The next development then re-
veals how far away from the orig
NAL professed notion of the Ad-
ministration we have come. For
now it actually considers putting
through bill in which those
price-permissions which were said
three years ago to be a mere con-
cession to get labor provisions, are
to be enacted without any labor
provisions. Would it not be we'll
for the Administration to think
this over before it sets its foot
upon that path?

Only one of the communicating
ing groups - merchandising - reg
istered gain in both the number
of workers employed and in wage
payments. The construction indus
try showed substantial increase in
pay roll amounts, while maintain
ing employment at the level of the
preceding month.
The increase in construction pay
rolls amounted to 11.8 per cent, the
highest for any group excepting
that of vehicles which advanced
14.9 per cent during April.

Exceptions to the upward trend
within the manufacturing groups
were furnished by leather products
where employment decreased 311A
per cent and wage payments 81
per cent, and by the textiles and
paper printing industries which
showed curtailments in pay rolls
but practically no change in the
volume of employment.

Then in the evening there
was the Hasty Pudding Club s
production of ''The Lids off,
at the National. 1t was a rare
treat There was so much pep
and verve put into it that the
audience caught it. The mem
bers of the cast (and what
pretty girls those boys were)
seemed to get just as much
fun out of it as we across the
footlights did.
Mrs. Roosevelt, IN ivory
brocade trimmed with a pale
shade of green and wrapped
in white fox and ermine, was
there to see her youngest son,
John, do his bit. He did very
we'll; too.

a great number of pretty
young girls and their escorts,
and as we looked around we
realized that no doubt we were
looking at many of next years
debutantes. Up in one of the
boxes we saw the Undersecre.
