EXCEPT for its policy of taking
in and chartering new unions
as part of its organization, the
basic nature of the committee
formed in November of 1885 by
John Lewis, Sidney Hillman anC
a few other labor leaders, remains
unaltered. 1t was a voluntary
self-appointed committee of head.
of international unions and othe,
prominent labor leaders who
banded together TO promote indus
trial unioniSm, to exploit oppor-
tunitieS for organizing which they
believed the A. Z. Of L. hac
neglected.
In the days which followed, as
their plans conAicted increasingly
with those of the A. f. of L., this
committee and most Of the unions
whose leadership it represented
split away from the federation.
Relationship of the industrial
union councils, formed to unite To-
cal unions thrown out of central
labor unionSyby the A. F. of L., is
still only vaguely defined. i'icsn

The relationships Of such UNIONS
as the United Textile Workers
and the Amalgamated Association

somewhat complex. Each has
delegated administrative powers
to c. I. o. committees, the Steel
and the Textile Workers Organic
ing Committees. Thus, as counsel
for Inland Steel recently pointed
out, the SWOC and TWOC are
each sort of Labor holding COM
pany." These are presumed to be
temporary agreements and the or
ganizing committees doubtless will
disappear if and when the indus
tries concerned are sufficiently or
gained. But all this is in the fu-
ture. c. /. o. will not and can't
continue as a mere committee.

Suppose you engage To per

says, "Go ahead and do it, and
I'll pay you what is fair"
What is fair? When you have
finished your work for him the
man may say, 81 will give you so
much. That is fair"
And you may reply, ooh, that
would not be at all fair Such
and such would be fair"
"You are crazy" the man may

Then who is to decide what is
fair?

ON LARGE OR SMALL SCALE THE
PRINCIPLE is THE SAME

If it is wrong in principle to pack" the
United States Supreme Court with six JUS
tees, it is wrong to "pack" it with one or
any other number,
That statement sums up the present sit
uation in the Senate in, relation to this pro-
posal; and is the reason it is confidently
believed a large majority of the people of
this country are opposed to any court pack
ing whatever, . ,.l ..... ..
The proposal to pack" the court, as
originally outlined by the. President, or as
now set forth in the effort of administra-
ton supporters in the Senate in behalf OF
the compromise bill, may be summed up in
its entirety by the statement that it is pat
emily an attempt to make the high court
of the land subject to the dictates of the
chief executive. Any law getting the APP
prevail of President Roosevelt would have
to be one which would give him control of
the Supreme Court. That is the aim and
end of his efforts in this connection.
The independent press has made val
liant effort to. awaken the country to the
true meaning of this effort to make of the
Supreme Court rubber stamp, as has been
done with the Congress; and the newspa-
pers of the nation are overwhelmingly in

Jones, M. .. Philadelphia: j. b.

A Walton has opened many new
= horizons to mankind; its demands
extend to many branches of science.
Not least among the sciences affected
is that OF medicine and surgery
Mankind. obviously, was not designed
to fly. To do so imposes upon him
most unusual strains. The safety Of
the pilot and his passengers depends
upon physical and mental character
istics, some Of which are called upon
only in the most casual fashion, II at
all, in normal life.
The medical profession has been
called upon to determine whether or
not the individual would-be pilot is
fit to fly. The duty has made neces-
sary deep research into human or
gans of which science in the past has
known but little, chief among them
the inner ear.
DR.. Jones. one of the worlds first

nical, interesting fashion the human
makeup from the standpoint of fit
ness for flying. The result is volume
which should appeal not only to all

licity issued by the various depart
ments and New Deal bureaus. In the
November articles he writes of the
publicity that comes from the White
House direct. He calls this article
propaganda From the White House"
In the course of 1t he naturally takes
a look at some OF the men and women
who have the jobs of preparing this
material.
He says: cat this writing, DR.. Roose-
velt maintains an inner secretariat OF
five persons, each Of whom is well
equipped to look after general publicity
affairs. First is James Roosevelt, who,
brought last year into the White
House Offices after most remarkable
and as yet unpublicized career IN prl-
yate business, bears the full title OF
presidential secretary, and thus brings
$4,000 a year into the family Golfers.
His primary duty is TO keep the Leader
in close touch with government de-
partments. i. e., to keep Black Repub-
licans from interfering with Demo-
cratic party matters. Unlike some
other members of the palace statf,
James has had no newspaper expert
ence. But he is rapidly learning the
finer points OF the publicity game
through his daily contact with White
House correspondents"
Mr.. High also writes of young Mr..
RooseVelts duties, but in a somewhat
different vein. He says nothing at all
about the publicity work, but seems TO
rate the Presidents son as sort OF
gilded messenger between the Whlte
House and the Hill AS to the effect
of this on the latter locality, he frankly
says that it is not advantageous.
"s the young man." he says, is
his fathers son. and it is this fact
which Capitol Hill has resented IN
Jimmy as a White House lobbyist"
He goes on, still using the affection
ate nomenclature Of the paragraph just
quoted: THE average Senator or Rep
resentative, who may be in need OF
some word from the White House.
feels that to send it by one Of the
Presidents own family puts the mem
Der of Congress at a disadvantage.
This feeling has not been eased by
Jimmy Roosevelt's reported practice
of referring to Mr.. Roosevelt, not as
the President, but, as father When
the young man says, father wants this
or father is against that he is gen.
orally taken at his word. But the
Democratic members of Congress do
not like it. Moreover. the father-and-
son emphasis has had unpleasant con-
notations."
A ND Mr.. High continues ingenious
" that while Mr.. James Roosevelt
may be the heir apparent" at the
White House. politicians feel that his
candidacy should be soft-pedaled for
the present. This assuredly is nice
little touch to be added to the third
term argument already brought out in
his earlier article.

and Miss LIE Hand are among the fig

Road to Poor House.

ONE trend which ends in the poor
house, or in failure, at any rate,
is the object of a campaign by the Soil
Conservation Service.
In the past it often has happened
that farms continually employed in
the production of cotton, corn, tobacco
and other clean-cultivated crops have
lost their top soil fertility year by
year until these crops could no longer
be produced profitably. The next step
downward was the substitution of a
less profitable crop and, as fertility
dropped, an even poorer crop, until
eventually the farm was complete
loss.
This the Soil Conservation Service
desires to change through a rotation
plan whereby the fertility-restoring
crops may be planted at sufflciently
frequent intervals to keep the land in
good condition.

THEIR EYES WERE WATCHING
GOD. BY Fora N. Hurston, New

THIS is one of those rare books
that holds the attention from be-
ginning to end. that presents new
theme and new subject matter in a
manner which makes them seem
near and familiar. and which has
with all of that beauty of expression
and clarity of description which
transcend the constant use Of dialect.
Their Eyes Were Watching God"
is the story Of jamie, beautiful
octoroon, and her unconscious search
for happiness, which she finds. after
two marital adventures, with Tea
Cake, a happy, black buck. Incl
dentaliy, the novel presents many
phases of Negro life in the deep South
and in the Florida Everglades not
often presented in literature. JAMES
early life with her grandmother, who
marries her off to widower to save
her from the fate which befell her
mother-herself the product Of a
white mans lust-giva IS one new
slant on plantation life in the deep
South. Janie's life as the wife OF
the Mayor of an all-Negro. village,
man who realizes his ambition to be
big frog in small puddle and for
gets in his realization the force which
attracted him to JAMIE, shows still
another phase of Negro life. These
chapters show the irrepressible spirits
of the Negroes. Their sense of fun
can never be better illustrated than in
the mule stories swapped on the porch
of the general store.
The last chapters, which describe
Janies life with Tea Cake and his
tragic end, are as dramatic as any
ever written. Although the plot gets
more complex in these chapters, yet
the psychology of the race as well as
OF the individuals concerned is well
sustained. All in all, it is q moving
piece of literature, we'll done from
every sspect.-R. r. T.

By VIC. r.

-WO series of magazine articles
pertaining to the New Deal
come to an end in the Mo-
i yember issues of their respec-
tive publications. These are the series
by Mr.. Stanley High, which has been
running in Harpers Magazine. and
that by Mr.. Gordon Carroll in the
American Mercury. A comparative
reading of the final pieces ought to
amuse and instruct considerably.
Mr.. Highs articles have been de-
voted chiefly to study Of the Presi-
dent and the manner in which he
works. In the first piece this writer
raised the question of the third term,
stating that there could be no ob1ec-
ton to the eventuality beyond
precedent" After that, he dropped
direct reference to the possibility that
Mr.. Roosevelt might attempt to break
that precedent" and in his second
piece was concerned chiefly with as
suring his readers that the President
loved above all things balanced
budget and that he liked conserva-
tives as well as radicals-whateVer
he may mean by the two terms.
In his third article, appearing in the
November Harpers under the title
"The White House Is Calling" Mr..
High announces, somewhat contra
dictorily: "One of the most por-
tentous facts about the first year OF
Mr.. Roosevelt's second sdministra-
ton is that he has been almost en-
tirely cut off from conservative coun-
sellors. The line which was drawn in
1892 and thereafter between reaction
aries and moderate conservatives ap-
parently is drawn no longer. Moderate
conservatives, apparently, are now
more welcome than reactionaries. 1t
Is not reactionary big business which
has become persona non grata at the
White House. 1t Is big business"
lust how Mr. High reconciles this
statement with his earlier one that
the President welcomes discussion
with conservatives is not taken up
in the article. The greater part of
the piece is given over to describing
the personalities with which the
President is currently surrounded. and
it is from this circumstance that the
comparison with Mr. CAROLS con-
Guiding story in the Mercury derives
its point. Mr.. Carroll likewise dis
cusses the Presidents White House
staff and its duties, and he and Mr..
High by no means see eye to eye on
the subject. In fact, they are about
one million miles apart.
The reader can take his choice, OF
course, as to which interpreter has
the right of it or as to whether
either of them has. Mr.. High ap-
proaches the matter from the point
of view OF the influences TO which the
President is subjected. Mr.. Carroll
is writing, in his third piece. even as
in the preceding two. of the propa-
ganda machine which the present
administration has built up. In his
previous stories he wrote of the pub
