Congressional leaders hope for
enactment of a wage and hour
program at this session Of Con-
gress was somewhat revived today
as Q drastically modified and re-
vised measure was placed on the
Senate calendar.
Senator Black CD of Alabama,
chairman Of the Education and
Labor Committee that reported
the bill favorably, Immediately
served notice he will insist on its
enactment this session despite the
urge to adjourn Congress when the
court issue Is voted upon.
Although Senate and House
leaders expressed grave doubt
whether the bill can be debated
this session, they held the belief
that modification of the bill
throughout, and elimination en-
tirely Of some Of the controversial
issues will enhance its chance OF
being considered in the wake OF
the court bill.
Provisions Of Bill
AS reported, the measure would:
Create q labor standards board
to fix minimum wage scales for
types Of labor to be paid not more
than 40 cents an hour and to
prescribe maximum hours of work
at not more than 40 hours q week.
Exempt seamen, farm and
fishing labor, and all railroad
workers except those in main
tenance of way duties.

Outlaw child labor, strike

vised the measure to cover all in.

Announcing the revised measure
had been approved unanimously
by the committee, Senator Black
Cd, Of Alabama, chairman, said:
"This bill is not an attempt to
fix wages throughout the C0un-
try, but is merely an effort to
bring working conditions up to
certain reasonable standards"
Members Of the committee ex.
pressed the hope that the wage
level Of 40 cents and work week of
40 hours would gradually become
the recognized wage and hour

Conquering Streptocossi
(NeW York Times)

tNeW 4Ofk ImeSD
 Last month DrS Perrin H Long and Eleanor A Bliss of Johns Hopkins told the Southern Medical Association of their with prontosil and prom tyn in treating dangerous streptocossus infections that destroy red blood cells They were merely cni- cal verfers of a discovery made by Professor G. Domagk chemo-t -therapst in the employ of the Inter- essengemeinschaft. Skeptcal German and English clinicians carried Domagks tests from the to the human stage. Now comes pr. George Loring Tobey Jr. of Boston with the news that the Presi- dents son has been happily saved from dangerous strepaococcus infection of the throat by the timely administration of prontylin In the light of the clinical record is fair to herald Domagks discovery as the outstanding therapeutic achievement of the last decade The old ineffective preparations of mer cury and silver give way to derivatives of coal tar dyes.
 Without detracting in the least from the brilliant work of Professor Domagk We have here another triumph of industrial research-a triumph of coop eration. From Professor Heindich Hoerein director of pharmaceutical research for the Ineressengemein- schaft came the original suggestion that the coal tar derivatives, known as dyes, might have lective lehal effect streptococci His disciple Pro- fesor G. Domagk followed the clue, Hoerlein turned the task of carrying out Domagks molecular design of a compound that looked promising paper to Drs Metzch and Klarer, skillful chemists likewise in the employ of the Interessengemeinschaft After of patient experimenting deliberately infected mice, Domagk was able to announce his initial cess in 1885.
 The lesson that Domagk and his associates teach one that the medical profession and the public hould take to heart Again we are presented with he spectacle of group of men following we'll onceived plan of research under competent drec- ion. So it happens that the probable conquest of treptocossi and dozen deadly afflictons to which hey give rise must be credited, to trained phy- lcians, but to group of chemists in the employ of

Looking Back to 1850
(New York World-Telegram)

NINtW 1Oih NOllu-IClSSldHP
 When was boy" remarked an unreconstructed Old Dealer during a recent debate, there none of this relief fooishness We didn't to the gov ernment for help whenever got hard up My father grubbed living out of backwoods farm, and the only spending money ever had got by trapping skunks and selling the hides. We've got to get back to that spirit, the country is sunk"
 We'll observed his New Deal opponent the country still has plenty of skunks, but they're harder to catch and their hides aren't worth anything.
 The American economic system is said to have done this for us since 1850:-
 An increase in the share of national income going to wages and salaries from 38 per cent in 1850 to 65 per cent today, sevenfold increase in average individual wages per hour from cents in 1850 to the highest in history today de- crease in average weekly working hours from 6o in 1850 to the present standards =. great increase in the average living standard-thngs our parents never had, more that our grandparents never had new and better things at lower prices with wages to buy them (FrOm report of the National Asso- citation of Manufacturers
 And so it seems, should all be happy kings-or at least happy kings once reputed to be- Yet, for some reason we aren't And 1t must be because of something the NAM leaves out of the picture-the transition of society from that was preponderanty agricultural to that is pre- ponderantly industrial, change which makes pay roll statistics poor basis for comparison
 Surveying the accomplishments" of the last decades, some of us can't help wondering whether we've gained much we've lost.
 We have larger percentage living on wages and salaries getting better pay for shorter hours We have many marvellous new gadgets to spend money for. But we have much smaller percentage of inde pendent merchants manufacturers and artisans. We have dawning realization that there's going to be place any private payroll for millions of peo pie who able and willing to work. And also have not what did have in 1850 the undeveloped resource of continent before Those have been exploited in criminally footed, in other grabbed by monopoly
 This is nostalgia lament for the good old days" We wouldn't go back to 1850-no automobiles Inc airplanes electric lights telephones radio no movies sanitary plumbing. We don't to to skin skunks for spending money
 But if we were back in 1850 knowing what we know hope we should have sense enough to use the material hand for accomplishments that would make the country little better than it is today In 1937 knowing what we know now, we hope we do have enough to employ the experience of the past for the benefit of ourselves and of the future
