very handouts with which it has
again become enslaved.
I'VE know only too well the cunning
and geni--s that directs large corporate
enterprise. While there is a change
of attitude on the part of an increas-
ing number of employers toward
labor and labor unions, there is also
developing an increasing demand for
greater regulation, control and re-
sponsibilities on the part Of labor
organizations. It is to be hoped this
decision may prove all we have hoped
for 1t and that it may not prove
again to be but another Greek bearing
gift"
Mr.. Woll's view IS not very much
different from that expressed by this
correspondent on the day following
the decisions in the Wagner act cases.
The theory that employers are re-
quired not to set up impediments to
the flow of interstate commerce is
as much applicable to the employees
who did set up impediments in the
Coronado case. While judicial inter-
probation of existing powers has been
applied to unique set of circum-
stances in the Wagner act cases, it is
significant that Mr. Woll takes the
view that the Supreme Court had q
well-established precedent to follow
in what it did April IL and that the
congressional power which has been
upheld is broad enough to apply to
employees as well as to employers.

York exchange. A period of cumula-
lively urgent selling in London has
brought the margains of many specu-
lators close TO extinction. The specu-
lators, thus imperiled, are obliged to
sell. Their sales carry prices still
farther down. This in turn imperils
still other spectators, and the vicious
downward spiral gets under way. In
short, there is, in London, something
approaching a stock exchange crisis.
Because many Of the stocks thus sub
jected to forced sale in London are
American ones, the effect reflects it.
self in quotations on the New York
Stock Exchange
Here, however, the selling encoun-
ters a defense, a defense for which
the New Deal is entitled to credit On
the American stock exchanges the
margin prescribed by our Federal
Reserve Board is SIS per cent. That
is, a person who buys stocks must
put up SIS per cent of the price in
his own money and borrows only As
per cent. In this condition, a fall
in prices would have to be so ex-
treme as to be almost unthinka BILE
before panic of forced selling could
arise. Further than that, in America,
comparatively few stocks have been
bougt on margin at all. Compare
lively few are in banks as collateral
for loans. Much of the buying of
stocks in America during the past
four years has been outright. With
us, there is no condition that is likely
to cause panic Of falling prices.
Roosevelt Advice Praised.
In fact, America might have alb
sorbed much of the selling from Lon
don and might have kept prices
more stable but for one condition
Just about the time the selling Of
American stocks in London was most
urgent, several agencies of the Amer
ican Government took actions de-
signed to restrain prices Among
other things, President Roosevelt
publicly advised Americans not to
speculate. The advice is good at all
times. Mr.. Roosevelt's motive for
giving the advice at this particular
time was probably a concern lest
prices of commodities and stocks
might continue their remarkable rise
OF some two years past, anG might
reach a dangerous elevation His
motive was probably fear Of imitation.

Speedy action on the Sacks bill to
put Washington on a daylight saving
schedule is being sought by Chair
man Norton Of the House District
Committee
Planning to give the measure a pre-
ferred status on the committee calen-
dar, Mrs. Norton yesterday wrote to the
Commissioners requesting them to
hasten report OF their views II the
Commissioners submit a report before
next Wednesday, the bill probably will
be considered by the committee at
that time.
Mrs. Norton has received a number
of Endorsements OF the bill, and only
one protest, anonymously signed

daylight time would only serve to add
another hour day to her domestic
routine. The principal Endorsement
came from the Washington Board of
Trade and the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association.
Representative Sacks, Democrat, of
Pennsylvania, who sponsored the bill,
does not believe 1t will meet any seri-
GUS opposition on its legislative

fought in every official and unofficial
scrap throughout our history, the
Coast Guard holds an important
position in our armed forces.
Admiral Waesche, born in Thur
mont, Md, in 1886, has seen the
world from the decks of a Coast
Guard cutter. In 1904 he gave up
electrical engineering at Purdue Uni
versity TO follow the life he liked.
Lean, fit, bronzed, Waesche has the
far-sighted eyes of sailor man.
His first commission upon gradua-
ton from the Coast Guard Training
School, in 1905. was on the Mohawk.
In the teeth of southeast gale they
hunted for the distressed ship Ponce
from Puerto Rico. They did not find
the Ponce, but Waesche found his sea
legs.
Eight years of sea duty led him up
and down our coastline-to the Ber-
ing Sea to protect the seal and otter
herds, to Turkey during the Ar
menian troubles, to the Mediterranean
on naval transport duty. He COM
manded of the 25 Navy destroyers
pressed into service during the rum
running days Of 1924. In a year and
half they broke up a rum feet of 60.
On shore duty in 1918, Waesche says,
Il fought the war in the Ordnance
Department from swivel chair in
Washington
Nhe new Coast Guard Academy at
New London, finished in 1880, is the
last word in up-to-date plant and
equipment. The new Coast Guard
Institute and Correspondence School,
originated by Waesche, improves the
efficiency and raises the ranking Of
enlisted men.
Coast Guard combined personnel
numbers about 10000. 1t has ap-
proximately 27O active stations along
the coast. During the Winter ice pa
trolls in the North Atlantic broadcast
weather conditions for protection
against icebergs. During the Missis-
sippi floods 400 boats and 1000 men
were flung into rescue work.

Initiation Fears Recede
Extraordinary Spectacle of Rush to Economic
Cheers Capital Observers.

1t was probably mere coincidence
that Mr.. Roosevelt's advice coincided
with causes which led to selling in
London.
But Mr.. Roosevelt's admonition was
not the principal contribution Wash
ington mad to falling prices Price
tides do not pay much attention, for
any length OF time, to pronounce
ments by Presidents. Mr.. Roosevelt
can no more talk prices down than
Mr.. Hoover could talk them up during
the depression.
There Is in Washington, however,
real contributory cause to the re-
cession in prices. This contribution
by Washington consists Of an apparent
determination to balance the budget.
And in proportion as balancing Of
the budget comes in sight, so does
the specter of initiation recede. With
ebbing of anticipation of imitation,
prices tend slightly downward, toward
level which expresses their true,
normal value. Prices of a little while
ago included an extra, which was the
expectation of imitation. That ex-
pectation, for the moment, is being
squeezed out of prices. The result
is wholesome. Farmers may not like
to see wheat quoted Is cents bushel
lower than a little while ago and
cotton 2 cents a pound less But in
the long range, farmers as well as
everybody else should be grateful for
the passing Of the fear Of imitation.
The fear may not be gone perma-
nently. The possibility Of imitation
Is not gone completely. But for the
moment, events and conditions in
Washington point toward escape from
imitation.
Move TO Cut Expenses.
What has happened is that, first
Mr.. Roosevelt came finally to pay Sc
rious attention to the fear of infla-
ton long held by thoughtful students
He seemed to realize and accept the
principle that the main cause Of in
1ation is Government borrowing. In
his recent budget message to Congress
he set his face in the direction Of
reduced expenditures. Thereupon the
Democratic leaders in Congress set
about making still further reductions
At present there is in Washington
an extraordinary spectacle, kind of
competition, between Congress and
President, as to which shall do the
most reducing-and of course as to
which shall get the credit for it.
The credit that both President and
Congress seek can come only from the
public. What is happening is that
both President and Congress, assaying
the country's feeling, conclude that
the country wants reduced expendi-
lures. Throughout the country, the
free spending school Of thought seems
for the time to have strunk to
minority. Apparently Mr.. Roosevelt
and Congressman judge that the saw
ers and economizers are now ma
jority, that economy is politically
popular. The existence of this pub
lie mood is sign Of economic health
1t is perhaps the most cheering new
development in world in which. until
recently, a good many conditions
seemed discouraging.

PETERSBURG, Va, May 1.-The

swept up behind "Mahone's men, as

gallant Confederates charged to victory

They rose to their feet in a wave and
drowned with their cheers the echoes

musketry as the "Confederates" ran
to engage the "Federals" in hand-to-
hand conflict and to close the beach
which the exposition theoretically
created in the morning phase of the
battle.

While rejoicetul in the apparent
change of the United States Supreme
Court in rejecting more advanced
liberalism and the impressive demon
stration that the Constitution of the
United States is sufficiently flexible to

conditions, nevertheless this JOY is
tempered with the fear of possible
dangers that may be lurking in
this momentOuS decision.
1T is to be remembered the change
of attitude and of decision turns prin-
cipaly upon the application of the
conspiracy doctrine embraced in the
Federal antitrust laws and as they
were attempted to be applied in the
miners case Of Coronado.

Coronado Case Claim.

"The decision we now rejoice over
Is predicated almost entirely upon the
Coronado case 1t was in this case
that the claim was made that the
activities Of miners union inter-
fered with interstate commerce for
sooth. 1.-THE miners union-had
stopped the supply of minerals being
shipped out of the State where it was
mined.
The Chief Justice, who wrote the
opinion in the recent Jones & Laugh
lin Steel Co. case, referred clearly and
definitely to the second Coronado case
as establishing definitely the principle
that anything which lnterfered with
the stream of interstate commerce,
even in the way of interfering with
the flow of goods which entered into
that stream, was a violation Of the
antitrust act and was, therefore,
within the jurisdiction of the court.
"A minority of the Supreme Court,
on April u, 1887, looked carefully at
the second Coronado case MAY, 1929
and then made severe scrutiny of
the Jones and Laughlin case. Then
Justice McReynolds, who wrote the
minority opinion, exclaimed, almost
petulantly: We find nothing in the
record of any strike Which was
accurate enough. There had not been
any strike, as yet. The labor union
had taken steps to avoid strike,
They had carried their complaint
against the employer to the National
Labor Relations Board and there had
proven that some of their members
had been discharged on account OF
their membership and activity in their
