SNUB TO NINE. PERKINS
iThe Oakland Tribunel

For the first time in many years the AFL has
refused to invite the secretary of labor to address
its annual convention. 1t summons attention
again when it infers that Chairman Madden of
the national labor relations board is not suited
as an orator before the assembly.
Nine. Perkins has been snubbed. She has
been informed that her public statements and
official acts have betrayed a bias toward the
CIO. As she is cabinet official, the snub goes
further, with its intimationS that the New Deal
has favored radical clique
In the early days of the automotve strikes
Nine. Perkins said more than she would have
recorded and her disavowals were not impress
sive. Since then there have been sharp divisions
in labor camps, with plethora of charges which
included Communstic leanings and acceptance
OF orders from Moscow. Obviously, many of these
were eXtravagant, but there is wide opinion
that the labor department, whenever it leaned,
tilted to the left. In that inclination the labor
relations board has been consistent. John L.
Lewis demands returns for his investment"
in campaign funds, and the AFL in convention
would hear nothing from his CIO.
Though this be confusing to the man out
side of labor ranks, it is a first time that an
American Federation of Labor convention has
not extended an invitation to the secretary of
labor.

Famous Sayings -

1t isn't hard to understand why
the American Bar Association con-
vention at Kansas City had a field
day attacking President Roosevelt
for his criticisms of the law and
lawyers. The President has been
bit rough with lawyers, on occasion;
turn about is only fair play.
But the speech of President Rob-
ert M. Hutchins of the University
of Chicago was a timely warning
that the legal profession has
little job of soul searching to do
a job which can't be evaded by a
simple assertion that Mr.. Roose-
velt is biased and vindictive.
President Hutchins put it up
to the lawyers in plain words:
IF they continue to accept what
is done as the standard of what
to do; if they continue to seek
large fees under the impression
that they are the common good;
if legal ethics mean little more
than a protective tariff in favor
of the bar; if We are regarded as

Bruce Cation Says:
- LAWYERS the Law and Public Confidence

the spokesmen of special privilege;
if our chief claim to public ad-
miration is our agility in making
the worse cause appear the better,
then we are lost; then we cannot
hope to make the community ac-
cept our moral leadership"
There is no use pretending that
a great many plain citizens now
adays are not pretty well disillu-
stoned about lawyers This has
nothing whatever to do with the
Supreme Court fight; it antedates
it by a good many years, and 1T
is due very largely to the points
touched on by President Hutchins.
Our laws are made principally
by lawyers. They are interpreted
by lawyers. When We discover that
a certain law does not mean what
we had supposed it very clearly
did mean, or that its force is null
fled by the existence of gaping
loopholes or cleverly legalized nom
observance, we know that some
lawyer has been at it.
IL OH u VI
led to public disillusionment. The
Bar Association gets nowhere by
charging President Roosevelt with
bias. The charge may be perfectly
correct, but It is beside the point.
Self-questioning along the path laid
down by President Hutchins is
what is called for.
Perhaps a good part of the trou-
BILE comes because lawyers and
laymen alike have been confused
as to whether the practice of law
Is a profession or trade.
If it is profession, it carries
with it certain ethical standards
and entails a definite duty to So
ciety. It's members are obligated
to live up to certain ideals-at the
cost, if necessary, of cash in the
pocket. If it is a trade, on the
other hand, then anything goes,
and the annual profit-and-loss
statement is the only criterion of
success.
The best thing the lawyers could
do would be to decide once and for
all what sort of league they are
operating in.

Discovery Voyages
Are Never Done

At two o'clock Friday morning, Octo
ber u, 1892, sailor aboard the nina"
a little westward bound sailing ship
manned by 18 men, cried out joyfully,
Land ahead!"
That exultant cry electrified the crew,
and was soon to electrify all of Europe
when the stately, clean-shaven comman-
der-a man named Coumbus-returned
to Spain bearing proof that he had in
deed discovered New World.
How amazed the court of Spain was,
as it stared at the gold, the parrots,
the cotton, the strange beasts-and In
dians!
Such were the tokens of the discovery
of America. On October II, the United
States and most Latin American coun-
tries pay homage to its courageous dis
coverer.
Today, it's true, the unknown lands
of the globe have nearly all been charted,
but the ceaseless quest of discovery still
goes on in other worlds. Today man
turns inward to explore the structure
and motion of atoms, or looks outward
toward the heavens with giant telescopes
to explore distant star-clusters-whose
light started travelling toward the earth
before the time of Christ!
The spirit which moved Columbus-an
nnalterable determination to explore the
unknown, despite superstition, indiffer-
ence, or innumerable defeats-lives with
US today. Mans voyage of discovery is
never donei
