close to the high of last December.
There has come fairly general realiza
ton of the point which have been making
for a long while, namely that the raising of
wages without increasing the productivity
of labor, is sheer initiation. Moreover, it is
initiation that is Immediately effective in
higher prices.
We are, perhaps, at the point where every

his story Saturday while seated on
the knee of Sheriff schoenfeld, who
gave him ten cents. Yesterday,
when the lad was brought back for
further questioning, he carried a
bag of marbles he had purchased
with the dime and insisted that the
sheriff "knuckle down" with him.
The older boy steadfastly has de-
MED any part In the murder, but
authorities were inclined to believe
his companions story.
II can't believe a child that age
could imagine such story" Parker
said. "On the other hand, / do not
like to see any person incriminated
on five-year-old child's story"
It Is partly because Of the older
boys denial that the delinquency
experiment rather than commit
ment to a correctional institution
will be sought tomorrow, authorities
said.
Officials Concerned
"We are greatly concerned at the
moral responsibility of taking action
against persons accused by five
year.old child, but we think that
by our plan we are doing all that
is possible to give the boys an OPP
portunity to prove their normality,"
Parker said. I'VE think that Is fair

IA has been on the bench since con-
Quoting the sensational senate stock
market investigation Of 1928. The
supreme court itself remains silent

the Wagner labor relations act, a
guarantee TO labor Of the right to
organize and bargain collectively.
Other important cases are pending
but major interest centers In the
Wagner bill and whta the court may
now say about that typical new deal
legislation.
Compromise Proposals
Compromise proposals are bud
ding and Towering all over town.
But Mr.. Roosevelt has told friends
this Is one proposition on which he
will not bulge. Neither side can
prove a majority in the senate. Best
opinion here Is that the house will
accept any bill, aither compromise
or the unqualified proposals Of the
president, that the senate will pass.
Upon that information both sides
base their strategy. The adlninistra.
ton has agreed that reorganization
Of the judiciary shall be taken up
first In the senate. Opponents Of the
bill have agreed that II they are to
defeat the bill or to amend 1t they
must do 1t there.
President Adamant
Mr.. Roosevelt so far has rejected
suggestions that he substitute
amendment Of the Constitution OF
limitation Of the tenure Of justices
or a ban against 5-to-4 decisions az
alternatives to hts own proposals.
1t Is argued that congress could
forbid the court to hold an act un-
constitutional by a vote of fewer
than 2 to 2. The presidents last word
to date on compromise and alter
natives was uttered March 4 before
democratic victory banqueteers. He
assailed the court without naming

VIII Hear Appeal
Washington, March 8.-(UP)-
The supreme court today decided to
entertain an appeal from ruling
Of the Alabama federal district
court that the states unemployment
insurance law, part Of the New
Deals job insurance program, was
unconstitutional.
The decision to hear the appeal
was OF especial interest because Of
the situation regarding the New
York unemployment insurance law,
which the court upheld a four to
four vote. A petition for re-
hearing before the full bench of nine
members was brought soon after
ward and remained sometime with
out court action.
The Alabama law was challenged
by the Southern Coal g. Coke Co.,
which asserted that contributions
required under the law deprived it
of property without due process of
law and interfered with Its freedom
Of contract. The company sought
an injunction against enforcement
Of the act.
A three Judge federal district
court held the law invalid on the
grounds that the Application Of the
act to employers only Of eight or
more persons was arbitrary and
failed to give equal protection OF
the law either 70 employer or efn-
ploye.
Attorney General Albert A. Car
Inichacel, who was named Is one OF
the defendants, appealed.

In the meantime q blank water
