 question of an A. P. of L. contract which was voided by the labor board after It had been held valid by a federal district court. The result of the election was expected to in- tensify the court fight already rag Ing over Jurisdiction in the plant. Observers had predicted that re- gardleSs of which union won, the dispute would be appealed to the United States Supreme Court for a second major test of the Wagner Labor relations act.
 Ordered Election
 The labor board. after voiding an A. F. of L. contract with the com pany, ordered the election despite a decree of the federal district court in Pittsburgh which had held the pact valid. The federal circuit court accepted an appeal from the district courts decision and agreed to review the controversy, but de- nied an appeal by the company to stay the labor board election. The labor board, in its investigation, charged that the company had sign- ed a contract with the A. r. of L. union without ascertaiping whether 1t represented a majority of the workers. The company, 1t said. hastily called in A. F. of L. union officials after the CL.O. union of. ficials had asked for collective bar gaining conferences, had coerced employees into joining the A. P. of L union, and had signed only to avoid signed a contract with the C.I.O. union.
 The company maintained that the A. F. of l.. union represented It's employees and that 1t had signed the contract to conform with the requirements of the Wagner Act.

 A Japanese navy spokesman an- nounced the attack this morning and said that all Japanese positions held firmly.
 The spearhead of this attack was immediately northeast of the city, against chain of villages held by the Japanese navy men who started the Shanghai war four weeks ago.
 Shanghai waXened to the blast of fire northeast of the city as the at- tack was opened at dawn. One mos ment 1t was quiet. The next there was terrific burst of hand grenade, rife, machine gun and artillery fire. Then the big guns Of the Japanese warships along the Whangpoo joined in the thunder, and airplanes swept OVSEHChu " oClAu bOthhpS CEuo1lAiB into the struggling infantry lines, fighting with bayonet trench knife and hand grenade.
 All Over at Dusk At dusk 1t was all over. It was then that the Japanese army spokes- man made his statement that more men, guns and supplies must be awaited.
 Neither the Japanese nor foreign military experts believed a week ago that today China's army would be standing stoutly on It's selected bat- tie line against the hordes of Japa- nese picked rgeulars sent from the homeland and thrown ct them from Q dozen points along the Whangpoo and Yangtze mouths.
 It had become apparent, as the experts saw 1t, that the numerically superior Chinese, perhaps under the direction of the few crack German instructors with the central army, had formed a defensive line of sur- prisingly great strength. Case of Cholera

 Police Supt. Enthusiastic
 Police Superintendent William j.. Roach today again urged the fullest cooperation of all bicycle owners in the safety tests to be conducted next week. He pointed out that only vol- untaTy appearance on the part of boys and girls will prove that they are anxious to join their fathers and mothers in promoting highway safety.
 AS stated before the tests will be held from Monday to Friday inclu- Sive, the testing lane being moved to Q different locality each day so that it EVn't be necessary for youngsters to travel long distances over danger ous routes to have their bicycles in- spected.
 On the opening day at Hamilton Park Uncle Harry will conduct special broadcast, thirty minutes, of the proceedings as they actually oc- cur. This will be brought to listen- CTS through WATR. All this week Uncle Harry has been telling his eyouthful radio listeners about the bi- cycls tests next week.
 Tests Are Not Hard
 Incidentally the tests aren't hard or complicated and do not involve any fancy or trick riding on the part of the owner. As a matter of fact all boys or girls submitting their bikes eor tests are regarded as competent operators interested in protecting their own safety and that of others,
 A few essential parts of the bicycle are tested and examined and If found satisfactory the owner Is given . Certificate of Merit. All will re- ceive a detailed check list, as vel as copy of the Cyclists Ten Com n1andments," compiled by Police Superintendent Roach.

The Monday following Easter
Sunday may be remembered as q
historic and far-reaching occasion.
For on that day the Supreme
Court delivered two opinions Of
the utmost Importance to Consti-
tutional Interpretation and third
opinion which may prove to be
only slightly momentors.
First and most important was
1.-THE opinion in the Washington
Minimum Wage Law case. Like
many big cases involving COnsti-
tutional question, the actual
amount involved in the specific
action at the bar was trivial, $216.
Al hotel chambermaid sued foI
this money. it being the difference
between the $12 a weel- actually
paid her by hotel during the
term of her employment, and the
$14.50 week decreed by the
state as the minimum wage.
Almost no one thought that
there was chance of her winning
the case-in 1923 the Court had
invalidated similar law passed
by Congress for the District of
Columbia, and using this case as
precedent had afterwards inval-
idated laws passed by other
states. But since then, the menu
bership of the Court has changed
and Chief Justice. Hughes
handed down a surprising deci-
sion, with four Justices dissent
ing, which gave the chambermaid
her $216 and established the
precedent that any and all states
may refuse to allow employers to
pay labor wages below standards
compatible with decency and
healthful living. The decision
contains many a pregnant SEN
tence. Basis of attack on the
law was that it impaired freedom
of contract. 1t speaks of liberty
and prohibits the deprivation of
liberty without due process of
law. But the liberty safeguard
ed is liberty in a social organiza-
ton which requires the protection
of law against the evils which mem
ace the health, safety, morals and
welfare of the people"
Second decision involved the
new Frazier-Lemke Act. The first
Frazier-Lemke Act, passed in
1884, permitted farmer to de-
clare himself bankrupt, have his

farm appraised at current values,
and pay that sum to the mort
gage within five years, keeping
the farm in the meantime. In the
test case, a unanimous decision
declaring the Act unconstitution-
al on the grounds that it deprived
the mortgage of his property
rights, was ready by Justice
Brandeis.
Then Congress revised the Act,
shortening the term of occupancy
to three years and required that
the bankrupt farmer pay the
MORTGAGE reasonable rent dur.
ing that period, and passed it
again. Legal authorities thought
it very dubious whether the Court
would uphold this--buit it did, in
unanimous opinion also read by
Justice Brandeis, SO-year-old lib
Ieral. The Court found that the
mortgages property rights are
adequately protected, and that
Congress had provided the farmer
with a lawful and reasonable pro-
lection.
Third Act dealt with collective
bargaining. It was the Railway
Labor Act, which provides that if
a majority of workers for rail-
way decide upon a bargaining
agency. the railroad must deal
solely with this agency. Most rail-
way arrangements have been sat
isfied with the Act, and it has
stood for years without contest.
Finally, however, small railroad
brought suit to do away with it..
In the unanimous decision read
by Justice Stone the Act was held
Constitutional. However, this de-
cision does not mean that the
