Washington, d. C. (ILNS)-The
federal circuit court of appeals of the
Third Judicial district, sitting at
Philadelphia, has rendered a decision
in the Delaware-New Jersey Ferry
Company case which practically de-
clares that if any employer complain
ed of unfair labor practices can get
contract out of a company union he
is thenceforth out from under the
national labor relations act.
The ferry company named employs
II engineers. A dispute arose about
wages and working conditions of
these engineers which finally came
to the National Labor Relations
Board. In December, 1935-note the
date, the NLRB decided that the Ma
rine Engineers Beneficial Association
No. 13 was the exclusive bargaining
agent for these II men. The board,
of course, heard the testimony of both
sides before making the decision
The company refused to obey the
NLRB, and an appeal was taken to
the courts to enforce the order.
While the case was pending, the COM
pany, obviously by improper press
ure, set up a committee of three engi-
neers to represent the IL, made a con-
tract with these three, and succeeded
in getting the others to agree to it.
When the case came up in court, the
company pleaded that it had already
made contract. The court, by two
to one vote, allowed that plea.
''No Need for Intervention
In view of this (contract)" said
the majority opinion, 1--WE see no need
for the Intervention of this or any
other court. To make the order asked
Of us might defeat the very purpose
of the (labor) act Of congress by
creating an occasion for strife which
otherwise would not exist"
Judge John Biggs, in vigorous
dissent, said:
"The National Labor Relations
Board has ruled and upon sufficient
evidence, that one party to the con-
tract, to-wit, the committee of three
which executed it on behalf of the
engineers, was suffering from dis
ability in that it was not the free
choice Of the engineers for purposes
of collective bargaining
IF this defense be valid one, an
employer in every case may race to-
ward the goal of an executed contract
with his employees; and if he reaches
that goal before a court may enforce
the order of the board, then he is alb
solved from the provisions of the act
requiring collective bargaining

Denver Bakers Union Serves
Meals to Unemp. Members

Denver, Colo. (AFLNs)-A furth-
er example of how organized labor
tries to 'stake care of its own" may
be found here, where Bakers Union
No. &c serves meals for unemployed
members, mostly victims of the ma
chine age.
From Is to 35 unemployed mem
bers have been fed regularly since
1884, in a room adjoining the union
headquarters in Grace Community
Church. The annual cost has run
around 5000, a part of which is raised
by an annual bakers dance.

A.F.L. Head Vigorously Demands End to Delay
In Passing Of Wagner -SteagaIl Housing Bill

Washington, DC. (ILNS)- Strong
and vehement protest" at the timex
cusabIe delay in enactment Of the
Wagner -Steagall housing bin was
voiced here by President William
Green, Of the American Federation Of
Labor, on behalf of the federation's
entire membership.
Pointing out that the bill had been
declared No. / on labor's legislative
programs and that it had enlisted
more direct and solid support than
any other legislative proposal de-
signed to improve the economic and
physical welfare Of the wage earners
throughout the nation" Green added:
Labor wants to know what has
happened to this bill. Hearings were
held by the senate committee on
education and labor long ago. At
these hearings representatives of la
Dor, of consumers, of social and well
fare organizations, of religious groups
of all denominations, of housing au-
thorities and local governments, of
the administrative agencies Of the
federal government, all spoke as one
in support of this measure and pre-
sented an accumulation Of unassail-
able evidence that the u. S. housing
bill of 1887 represents the most prac-
ticable, most sound, and most eco
nomical program of housing for law
income groups yet devised The hear
ings were completed and there the
legislative machinery stopped. There
has been no committee report, no
hearings have been scheduled in the
house and there is no immediate prom
Use of action.
Congress is pulling into the
home stretch. Yet most of the
major legislation before it has
been barely touched. The hous-
ing bill must not be permitted to
be caught in the last minute leg
islative jam. A further delay
on the housing bill will inevitably
have to be given an uglier name
particularly if it results in no
legislation this year.
President Roosevelt has strongly
expressed himself as fayoring the
purpose of the Wagner-Steagall bill.
| AT practically every public utterance
since his Inauguration he has told the
people of America of the urgent need
to provide good housing for that third
Of our population which is ill-housed
now"
Green declared that apparently the
main obstacle to enactment of the
Wagner-S -Steagall bill is due to oppo-
sition of the secretary of the treas
ury to some Of the measures finan-
cial provisions. The labor head Wig
orously defended these provisions as
sound and said that housing experts
are agreed the bill is 'far and away
the most satisfactory formula yet
devised" for national program OF
low-rent housing. In ending he
summed up as follows:
"The solid strength of organized
labor is behind this bill. Labor has

Paris--It may seem premature to think of spring thls side of Christi mas, but the Duchess of Windsor was an interested spectator when , Mainbocher showed his mid-season collection to buyers-giving the first hint of next springs modes.
 While she did not appear in the large white salon, she sat with friends in q smaller fitting-r room the other side of the yestibule where the mannequins, contrary to their routine, paused for her attention The Duchess wore a simple black gown with sables, and her jeWelry consisted of a zigZag diamond neck lace, plaque brooch and bracelets In her wardrobe, by the way, there isn't even one flamboyant dress Practically everything she has bought recently Is from Mainboch- CT. Exceptions are two coats by Pa- quin. one clipped beaver cape, the other e sleek mink.
 So 1t is likely that she will put the stamp of approval on some of the American designers advance spring creations. A slim fitted coat with the softness of the neckline provided by padded and rolled treatment of the fabric is one de- sign especially suited to her chic type of beauty.
 Mainbocher continues to stress the trim corseted quality around the waist, carried through to hips and upper thighs, from which sway and flare pleated or slightly flared skirts. For daytime wear he eX- presses 1t in a number of ways and mediums. with navy taking prece- dence over black, gray and brown. Pique or other white accents ap- pear not only on dresses but on coats as we'll
 The evening gowns include many special occasion creationS--roman- tic, billowing silk net gowns in shaded flower colorS-SWeet pea, zinnia, hydrangea, and others - which Mainbocher classifies as gar- den colors. Yellow and apple-green also strike new note. and there is one net dress with a skirt which is positively kalcidoscopic. Dignity is represented by long gloves that fall in loose wrinkles all down the arm, the color of the dress. Decolletes are very feminine, but shade more discrete than previously, made up for by sheer tops to bodices and knee-length slips yelled in tulle or chiffon.
 Lucien Lelong stresses gay gypsy colors in evening clothes that com bine yellow, red and purple, fuchsia end lime green and many other beautiful and unusual contrasts The daytime line is slim, narrow, youthful, with wide belts, usually encrllsted, giving that trim look well above and below the waistline.
 Schiaparelli's daytime clothes are colorful for sports and informal wear, restrained for town in the guisc of trim black suits and sim pie. smart slim afternoon dresses which belong to jackets with crys- tal paper weights, hands or Cupids as fasteners.

riage of a feeble-ininded person, However, there are various degrees of feeble-mindednes. Thus, idiocy is the lowest grade or degree-an idiot is 50 defective from birth or from an early age as to be unable to guard himself against common physical dangers: 8 person whose mental age according to the Binet- Simon measuring scale for intelli- gence does not develop beyond two years. An imbecile has an intelli- gence quotient (by the same scale) of from three 70 seven years. A moron attains Q mental develop ment not higher than that of a normal child of eight to twelve years of age. Obviously great many morons marry and have families; millions of morons are good citi- zens, good workers, good parents, good custmers for the great Arneri- ican swindler.
 Offspring of a feeble minded per- son may be feeble-minded, epileptic, insane, or just peculiar. The same fact applies to epilepsy and insan- ity; children of an epileptic person do not necessarily have epilepsy but are more likely than ordinarily to be feeble-minded, insane, neurotic or defective in one way or another. From many family histories 1t has been noted that 24 per cent of the offspring in families where one par ent is sane, the other insane, are insane or feeble-minded or epileptic. If both parents are insane, feeble minded or epileptic, 50 per cent of the offspriing will be defective. In the general population 1t is esti- mated that from to 2 per cent are insane, feeble minded or epileptic.
 Alcoholism in the parents is re- garded factor of epilepsy in the child. by numerous authorities. From Wechsler's Textbook of Clinical Neurology" (6aunders, l936) quote: Alcoholism in the parents, especially if the child Is begotten during a debauch, may lead to the convulsive state in the offspring. in addition to other mer- tai defects" In series of eases rec ported some years ago. epilepsy in the child was ascribed to intoxica- ton of the parents on a single oc- casion. the wedding night.
