of the unemployed.
With industry on an upward
swing, labor leaders say, a &C.
hour law would increase employ
ment perhaps Is per cent.
Leaders of Labor's Non-Parti-
san League and the Committee for
Industrial Organization, at least,
will not 60 so far as to demand a
30-hour week. They admit pri-
vately that they don't know what
such a drastic change would do to
industry and that it might cause
harmful disturbance.
On the other hand, they point
10 certain industries, notably the
garment trades, where the g.
hour week has been successfully
tried.

l. law would mean a showdown
with the supreme court, whose de-
cisionS have plainly shown that a
complete change of heart or a
change of membership would be
necessary before such act would
be held constitutional.
John L. Lewis and his group OF
labor leaders are not looking be-
yond the point where wage and
hour legislation would be invali-
dated except as they expect to
demand that Roosevelt move Wig
orously to meet the issue.

WASHINGTON-A national 60
F" hour week law for industry is
likely to be passed by the next
Congress in its first session.
It cannot be said as yet that
this is part of the Roosevelt pro-
gram. But here are some reasons
for expecting that it will be:
1.-The most influential leaders
of organized labor, who prob
ably will have the most effective
lobby on Capitol Hill this winter,
have decided that the 36-hour
working week-with possible pro-
vision for exceptions as we'll as
minimum wage standards - is
about what's needed to absorb
most of the nations unemployed
employables.
O-Roosevelt's biggest job is still
q to solve the problem of the
so-called 100000 unemployed"
He cannot depend on private in
dustry to solve it, as he had
hoped, and hour legislation seems
his only recourse if he is to cut
down the expensive WPA rolls.
AS reported in this column a year
ago, Roosevelt then wanted a ma
Aonal 40-hour week law He was
dissuaded subsequently by U S.
Supreme Court decisions. bitter
industrial opposition, and the DO
litical situation.
9-Congress in all probability
= would quickly pass such law
The Black 3o-hour week law cas-
lily slid through the Sena:e in
1888 and would have passed the
House If Roosevelt and the U, S
Chamber of Commerce hadn't
dashed in with MIRA as a substi-
tute. Passage of a 36-hour bill
would be likely as result of la
DOR pressure even if Roosevelt
we're to keep hands off
HOURS in industry have been
heightened since NRA died
'niS production has been in.

man that believes in free and
equal rights to all and special
privileges to none. This is sup
posed to be a free country but 1t
looks like it just about past that

do not say that the president
did not appropriate this relief
money for a good purpose but
some people are getting 1t that
do not need it, and some are not
getting it that really do need it.
The president is not to blame Tor
this but some of the officials who
arc handling this money are to
blame. One reason why say this
| is because a Republican-if he is
true-blue Republican-he can
not get on these relief jobs. If he
does happen to get on one ne
doesn't stay very long. If he
doesn't line up to support the
Democratic ticket he is laid off Of
the job.

for the needy, regardless of poll
tics = and when it gets to the
point that it is one-sided ques-
ton | think something should be
done about it.

relief nor never have got any
thing. and hope and trust l
never will, but still believe in a
/ fair deal in anything. If man is
in tough luck and needs help, re-

other. ....,

uUEY LONG THEORIES REPUDIATEr
IN ELECTION
(By BRUCE CATION

II would be interesting to know just how
the shade of the late Huey Long received
the news of our recent presidential elec-
tion-if news of that kind is of any conse-
quence in the bourne to which ne has gone
For if the election did nothing else, 1t at
least served notice that the American peo-
pie want no part of the things for wnich
Long stood. Everyone connected with him
was repudiated. The idea of strong-arm
stuff in American politics took as severe
beating as the most ardent lover OF democ-
racy could wish.
Three principal satellites of the late
Kingfsh were involved in the election
Father Coughlin, DR.. Townsend, and the
ipefTable Gerald L. X Smith. And where
are they now? Gone to join the shadows,
all three: washed up on the beach and left
TO mediate on the folly of over-rating the
stupidity of the American public.
Father Coughlin has gone off the air.
DR.. Townsend has discredited and impo-
tent following on his hands. Smith has just
evaporated.
None of these men was precisely an IN
innate of Huey Long when the Louisiana
senator was in power. But in general
wav all of them stood for the sort of thing
he stood for - bulldoZing demagogery
which demands followers who will give
blind obedience.
Their appeal was to emotion rather than
TO reason. Their long suit was making I'M
possible promises and arousing hatred.
Now anyone who knew anything at all
about American life ought to have known
that this sort of thing couldn't succeed here
except under the most extraordinary cir
cumstances. If people were completely and
lastingly disillusioned, discouraged, tired
out and hopeless, it might go over; other
wise it would not in the long run, have the
chance of the celebrated celluloid dog on
his trip through the hot place.
Long rose to power at time when
Encouragement and establishment were
widespread. His imitators, clerical and
otherwise, made the mistake of assuming
that the encouragement and disillusion-
and they have gone into limbo. ....
And this all leads us to the interesting
question: Did not our political writers
over-rate this man Long, even before his
death?
He looked strong and his future looked
bright, in those days. But his strength die
not reside m himself; it was drawn iron
the depression. He had to have weary
hopeless, and generally tired-out populac!
10 build a following. Just as he died, tn
populace was recovering its strength an'
it's spirits.
All this is worth going into, for the rea
son that the voters recent rebuke to dem
agogs was the most encouraging develop
ment of the whole campaign.
The people have served notice, most EN-
phatically, that it takes more than an ito tic
for power, stout voice, and a heart III
