tional prominence two able men who rode

Among those whose masterful hand

City Manager Clarence A. Dykstra of Gin

Senator Hugo L. Black. The forty-two
page bill provided for. a FIVE man
Labor Standards Beard to which was
to be delegated the broadest sort Of
power over wages, hours, conditions
of work and so forth.
From. the start the measure met
with determined resistance from
members of the Presidents own party.
Those who were familiar with the
failures Of the MIRA were unwilling
to see the country again subjected to
a RECOMMENDATION which might benefit
slightly from three to seven million
of the country's 100000 workers.
The Southern Democrats, as they
began to realize what the bin would
do to the industries Of their section,
became increasingly opposed TO it. In
the final analysis they were chiefly
sfesponsible for blocking the passage
of the bill during the regular 1897
session of Congress.
Another factor in preventing the
enactment of the measure doubtless
was the belief that further tinkering
with the economic system would do
more harm than good.
On July 31st, the administration
leaders succeeded in forcing bill, in

WOLFE'S BABY SHOES

Among the treasures in the Canadian
archives at Ottawa is pair of baby shoes
once worn by James Wolfe. Most Ameri-
can school children have read in their his
tories the story told of how General Wolfe
recited Gray's ''Elegy in Country Church
yard the night before the battle of Que
bee and said that he had rather have been
the acthor of the poem than to have "the
glory of beating the French tomorrow
He did beat the French on the NOR
row on the plains of Abraham at Quebec,
which victory wrested Canada from the
French, but Wolfe died on the field after
being thrice wounded The. opposing
French commander, Montcalm, was also
mortally wounded in the battle
Wolfe was one of the most skillful
and daring commanders who ever wore
the British uniform. He was commission
ed officer at the age of IA, became cap
tain at II and major shortly after He
was brigadier general when he yielded
up his life for England at the age of 81,
after executing one of the most daring ex.'
ploits in military annals
The story of that exploit is too long to
relate here, but if our readers will look it
up they will understand why that pair of
baby shoes is so highly priced and treas
ured by the Dominion authorities in OF
ltawa.

| House failed. On August 9th, the
House Labor Committee reported a
bill which sets minimum wages at
forty cents an hour and the maximum
work week at forty hours, as did the
bill passed by the Senate. Further ac-
ton was impossible without the con-
sent of the Rules Committee. Con-
trolfed by five Southern Democrats
and four Republicans, this committee
refused to allow the bill to come to a
vote before Congress adjourned on
August 21st ta0 s@E+ ~ 81 .a5s
Though temporarily defeated in his
attempt to restore Federal regulation
OF hours, wages, working conditions
and child labor, the President insists
that the measure must be enacted.
Ever since the Supreme Court in 1885
unanimously ruled the compulsory
code system Of the NRA to be uncon-
stitutional, he has been seeking ways
and means of restoring the outlawed
regulation.
Measure after measure has been
written into the laws of the land to
accomplish in part what the NRA un-
constitutionally accomplished through
the codes of fair competition. The
Wagner Labor Relations Act, the two
Guffey Bituminous Coal Control acts,
a bill for the regulation of the poul-
try business, the Robinson-Patm
Act for the prevention of price dis
ordinations, and the Walsh-Healey
Act imposing NRA conditions on gov
eminent contractors are the most
conspicuous of these measures.
Stn the neo-New Dealers and their
leader are not satisfied They are de-
terrnined to subject the economic life
of the country to the control Of Fed
erai bureaucrats regardless of the
consequences. Many months ago the
President promised business a breath
ing spell but he did not keep the
promise. The regulatory measures
mentioned together with heavy taxes
have placed ruinous burden on the
shoulders of the nations business
men. To these measures, together
with labor conditions and the Presi-
dents insistence upon the enactment
of new regulatory laws, the dep. s.
sion which became apparent in Oc-
tober should be attributed.

cANToR's SOUND ADVICE

Eddie Cantor is known to millions of
people in this country and other nations
through his performances on the stage, the
screen and in front of the microphone. The
Jewish comedian has brought laughter to
many and his reputation is built upon COM
edy. At the same time, he has another
side seldom seen in public.
Recently. he addressed an audience of
Jews, speaking to them about the persecu-
tons which are being directed against his
people in some nations. Mr.. Cantor urged
his hearers to answer Hitler with 'our self
respect, our love of God and man." saying,
am certain that if we Jews cling to our
faith and practice leading honorable lives,
helping our fellowmen swhoever they may
be, irrespective of race, color or creed, we
will again triumph over our enemies as
Moses did in times gone by"
Mr.. Cantor's advice to Jews, with
slight alterations to suit other religious
faiths can be followed with considerable
profit by people everywhere.

KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here Just Ten Years Ago Today As Taken
From The Files OF The Citizen

Churches of the city are all ex-
pected to enter in the Red Cross
campaign tomorrow as the result
of an investigation conducted by
the ministers. The pastors of
practically all churches met at
headquarters of the local Red
Cross chapter this morning and
went with Miss Lyons, secretary
of the chapter, on an inspection.
Miss Lyons showed them num-
Der of the needy cases the chap
ter was called oneat times to han
die. With this Il information at
first hand as to, the kind of work
and the number of cases handled,
the ministers expect to go TO their
congregations this evening with
an, appeal for workers to canvass
the city. Less than one-foLrth of
the money required to run the To-
cal chapter has been raised, it is
shown. OF the 1000 persons the
Red Cross estimates should con-
tribute here, less than 300 have
done SO up to the present. A large
percentage has been canvasSed. It
is believed, however, that with
the assistance of the churches, the
city can be covered thoroughly.
