CASCADE TRADES AND
LABOR COUNCIL NOTES

The Cascade Trades and Labor
Council received a communication
from the King-R Ramsey Conner De-
Tense Committee asking them to send
letters Of Christmas cheer to Earl
King, Earnest Ramsey, and Frank
Conner who are in prison in San
Quentin penitentiary. It will be re-
membered that these men were rail
roaded to prison in California during
the Longshoremen's strike. The I'M
ions feel that it was a frame up. They
are charged with murder but the
evidence that has been adduced so
far shows clearly that it was a part
of the plan Of the law and order
crowd On the coast to punish these
men for their union activities. The
unions of Great Falls sent the Christ
mas letters to these three suffers for
the cause of unionizing.

What VIII Hughes Do?

OBJECTIONS to the seating OF
~ Hugo Black as justice of the
Supreme court on the constitutional
ground that the emoluments of the
Office were raised while Black was
a senator brought Chief Justice
Hughes back to Washington before
his vacation was ended. Associate
Justice Brandeis also returned to
the capital and he and Hughes were
expected to confer on the matter
and to examine the objections. Just
what Mr.. Hughes or any other mem
Der Of the court could do was un-
certain. Constitutional lawyers
agree that Black could not be de-
MED his seat because he was
member of the Ku Klux Klan, but
many of them thought the court, il
it decides to take jurisdiction, could
bar him on constitutional grounds.
There was reason to believe this so.
luton of the exceedingly unpleasant
matter would suit President Roose-
welt. Should the President ask
Black to resign, the latter might re.
fuse, and that would be most EN-.
barrassing for Mr.. Roosevelt.

Jimmy Walker went to school in
New York City, and studied law;

writer instead Of a lawyer or
politician. He wrote several songs
which were published and made a
national hit by composing will

songs enjoyed the popularity Of this
one, however, and Jimmy decided
upon a more conventional career.
He went to work as a clerk for
the Union Surety Guarantee COM
pany and with his earnings re-
turned to law school. He estab-
lished fine law practice. and be-
came more and more prominent
in politics. In 1925. he was elected
mayor of New York City and en-
joyed more mass popularity than
any mayor Of recent times has

When Town Dies. Move II

IF THE recommendation Of SUBJ
committee of the Presidents ma
tional resources committee is adopt
ed, there will be a lot of ghost
towns" in the country. In brief. its
advice is that every town that is
dying economically be abandoned
and the inhabitants moved.
Studying the subject of depressed
cities and industries, the commit
tee reported:
Generally speaking, the contin-
ued existence of a community and
an industry cannot be justified if in
the long run it fails to afford its in
habitants or workers a minimum
level of existence consistent with an
expanding American standard Of
living. Such communities and such
industries are liabilities to the ma
ton because they do not make their
full contribution to our national
life"
This would be resettlement with
a vengeance and probably would be
deeply resented by thousands of cit
liens who love their home towns
even if they are not very prosper

Green Slams Lewis

N ENUNCIATIONS of William
- Green by John Lewis and Of
Lewis by Green come almost daily,
but the attack on the c. 1. o. leader
by the president of the A. F. of L.
in a speech in Washington was es-
pecially vigorous. He declared the
beetle-browed Lewis was an oppor-
tunist who hopes to gain political
power through the formation of a
party combining labor and agricul-
ture, and reiterated the opposition
of the federation to the organization
of such a party.
Lewis, said Green, was to blame
for the bloody strike in little steeP
plants and for its collapse which he
attributed to c. I. O.'s disregard Of
the rule that the workers them
selves should decide when to strike.
Surely those who are to suffer
and sacrifice in a strike ought to be
accorded the right to say whether
they are ready and willing to do
So" Green asserted. THE issues
involved in any impending indus
trial conflict ought to be made clear
and thoroughly understood.

President on Constitution

a LII orators on the one hundred
1 \ fiftieth anniversary of the sign
ing of the Constitution were loud in
praise of that great document. Pres
ident Roosevelt, speaking from the
foot of the Washington monument,
was emphatic in his expression of
admiration for and loyalty to the
basic law which his opponents have
accused him of trying to under
mine. But he called it '1ayman' S
constitution" and a lawyers con-
tract" He reiterated his asser-
tions that the Constitution was in
tended by its makers to be a state
ment of detectives and not a rigid
document, and declared democratic
government in this country can do
all things which "commonsense peo-
pie, seeing the picture as whole,
have the right to expect"
II believe that these things can
be done under the Constitution with
out the surrender of a single one
of the civil and religious liberties
it was intended to safeguard" Mr..
Roosevelt continued, land 1 am de-
termined that under the Constitu-
ton those things shall be done"
Sharply condemning relationships
abroad, Mr.. Roosevelt said there is
a crisis in American affairs that
threatens our democracy and that
if that democracy is to survive, it
must meet the demands of the peo-
pie for economic and social secur-
ity and improved standards of iv-
ing. Plutocratic and proletarian die
tatorships, said he, are equally dan
gerous.
That the President has not aban-
doned his fight for Regeneration"
of the Supreme court was made
clear by the tenor of his address.
and it was expected that he would
continue that campaign on his trip
to the Pacific Coast, which he began
in a private car equipped with a
loud speaker On his way to visit
his daughter in Seattle and on the
return trip he was to enter the
home states of several senators who
were active in opposition to the Su-
preme court enlargement scheme.

Folsom penitentiary in California,

Larkin and two guards were in hos

WayBackWhen
FORMER MAYOR WAS A SONG
WRITER
BY JEANNE

THERE were twelve children in
l. our family and it was necessary
to have a pretty strict rule about
being reasonably quiet in the house
and at the dinner table. My father
repeated so often, Children are to
be seen and not heard" or Silence
is golden" that just to think of those
old adages brings back the echo of
his voice l can't agree with the
principle of those sayings. Child
dren who are encouraged to join in
the conversation are likely to have
more self-confdence and to be more
social minded. In some cases, their
very talkativeness may be golden.
Take Jimmy Walker for instance:
James John Walker, who later be-
came mayor of New York City and
was one of the most popular men
ever to hold that Office, was born
in New York's Greenwich Village
in 1881. When still a very small
boy, he was nick-named Jimmy

Will to Succeed

EVERY morning, before you be-
IL gin your work, hold in your
mind the picture and register the
VOW of masterfulness. Let that
one ideal remain in your mind
all through the day. Think mas
terfulness, radiate masterfulness,
do everything to a complete finish.
Do not allow yourself to dawdle,
to waver in your decision, or per-
NIT yourself to do fool things, dur
ing the day. Use levelheadedness,
good judgment in every act. Go
about your work with the con-
sciousness of your masterfulness,
holding the ideal of your superi-
ority, your efficiency, your ability
to reach the heights of excellence.
Resolve every morning that you
will make a red-letter day of that
day, for if you are going to make
your whole life a masterpiece
each day must be a masterpiece.

For the Seamstress. - Before
stitching heavy materials, like
khaki, duck or canvas, rub hard
soap over the hens and seams.
The needle will then penetrate the

Heat Retaining Tea Cosy
When next you make a tea cosy,
try lining it with chamois leather.
The leather retains the heat so
well that the tea will keep really
hot in the teapot to the very last
drop.
Sliding Drawers.-Laundry soap

in a dish on a bed of fresh, crisp
lettuce leaves, then sprinkle with
mayonnaise and grated cheese.
Garnish with sliced tomatoes and
a ring of cucumber. Serve with
cheese straws or cheese-favored
biscuits.
Cleaning Black FrOcks.-Black
frocks which have become marked
with powder may be cleaned quite
easily by being rubbed with
crumbed, dry, stale bread.
To Soften Sugar.-When brown
sugar becomes hard or lunpy,
place it in a shallow pan in the
oven for a few minutes.
For Baking CakeS.-The center
