is high. So, because an Eddie Roush
comes along very seldom, the mag
mates are happily fortified.
Roush never could have proved
his point as easily as Hubben,
who might give evidence that the
added customers at one Sunday
game are sufficient to pay his an
nual salary. But Eddie knew he
was worth 100000 on any baseball
auction block.
Once he held out most of the sum-
mer before Cincinnati met his
terms. At other times he may have
remained away from spring train
ing merely because the shifting
sands of Texas and Florida did not
agree with his aging dogs. But all
the while he knew he was worth
100000 and since the days of the
lamented Chris Won der Abe no club
owner has been willing to sacrifice
a sum merely to humor a stubborn
whirn. So Eddie got his way.
Apart from the Dean-Rickey adj
vertisement and one or two other
carryings-on of similar nature this
winters show of holdouts seems
considerably below the usual bally-

though as one who likes to see
greedy and mismanaging owners
clipped for extra dough now and
then 1 make this statement sadly
seem to have as little heart in their
demands as Hank Leiber did twelve
months ago.
Public prints reported the big out
fielder as threatening to coach base
ball at Arizona university rather
than sign the contract offered by
the Giants. Hank is a valuable
young player and, even though the
Giants terms seemed very decent,
this is a world which favors a guy
getting all he can.
In the midst of his most violent
prOtestati0ns he made one mistake,
though. He kept writing to friends
in New York asking how the Giants
were reacting to his demands. This
definitely revealed a chink in his
armOr. So, having heard the gos-
sip which may or may not have
reached Horace St0neham's ears, I
was not surprised to see Hank walk
into a Pensacola hotel only a few
days late.

imports from Japan.
Marx Lewis, executive secretary,
said that large numbers of American
women were wearing hats with wool
bodies imported from Japan. These
imports, he said, have grown from
1000 in 1929 to 100000 last year The
bodies, he said, are made by japanese
women working for $1.35 week.
"The 1000 wool body makers in
America earn $18 or more week" ne
said, "and if the Japanese imports
were stopped it would make jobs over

JUSTICE BRANDEIS

Justice Louis d. Brandeis, at the
age of 81 years, looks out on the field
of his labor, which has been pretty
much all of the United States, with
cheerful optimism and a consistent
which he doubtless feels has been
philosophy way-of looking at-life
justified by the history Of the years
in which he has sat in at much of the
making.
Justice Braindeis brought some
thing of new method into the at
tacks which he made, as a young
lawyer, upon the existing legal-eco-
nomic structure surrounding the lives
Of workers. He was a lawyer, and as
such knew the necessity for and the
limitations of the law But he laid
new emphasis upon facts, in such con-
nections as the eight-hour law for
women. The world seemed to have
overlooked the fact that women were
human beings, and as such intimately
related to homes, and children, and
community life and problems.
The legal mind sometimes goes off
into abstract theorizing. Not so with
Justice Brandeis. He likes to depend
upon arithmetic. He knows book
keeping, and likes such things as
counting noses. He also knows the
value of counting pennies, and has
been a moving cause in the establish
ment in Massachusetts Of savings in
stitutions especially adapted to the
use of the workers.
Perhaps the real contribution which
this good Judge has made to our so
cial-economic thinking is this: that
he has seen the basis of material facts
which always underlies the true ideals
arising at any given moment, and
which makes of idealism program
Of social necessity.

Chicago QLNS)-An agreement,
perhaps the largest ever made in the
laundry industry, has been signed by
the Laundry Workers International
Union, Local No. 46, and the Chicago
Laundry Owners Association. APP
proximately $4,000 inside workers are
covered by the contract, the consum-
nation of which came after thirty
years of effort to establish union con-
ditions among laundry workers and
was hailed as a victory for not only
the Chicago local of the laundry work
ers, but for the Chicago and American
Federations of Labor, both Of which
gave the union a full measure of sup
port in it's organization drive.
The same contract, affecting $500
workers, was recently signed by the
Chicago Linen Supply Association.
Laundries Now All Union
Both the inside workers and the
drivers employed by concerns affiliat-
ed with the linen supply and laundry
owners associations are now organ
lied. The drivers, members of Local
No. 712, international Brotherhood
Of Teamsters, have long enjoyed union
conditions

Inside Laundry Workers
Win First Union Pact
In History Of Chicago

This is the first time that either the
linen supply houses or the laundry
owners have entered into such a con-
tract with union that has jurisdiction
over the inside workers. Union driv-
ers co-operated Fundamentally with
the laundry workers in their attempt
to establish an organization. The
laundry workers local is now in the
process of organizing workers employ
ed by independent laundry concerns.
Good Wage Boosts
The contracts with the two en-
ployers' associations call for union
shop and the check-off system in the
payment of dues, and establish wage
rate of 81 cents to al cents an hour,
which means 10 per cent to 20 per
cent boost in wages. Workers are to
receive another 10 per cent increase
at the beginning of the second year of
the agreement.
The length of the workweek is linn
tied to AZ hours for women and 81
hours for men. Employees are to be
given one days vacation with pay for
every fifty days of work. This
amounts to a weeks vacation with
pay for workers employed by the
same concern for full year.

The conference decided to ask post
ponement of administration measures
for government reorganization to pro-
tect interests of federal employees.
The conference said that it was its
consensus that action of government
reorganization should be deferred un-
til the regular congressional session
because such measures require careful
study and the brief special session
already has a crowded calendar of
emergency bills"
