ward overturning the huge Demo-
cratic victory of last November. u
attempts to trace the general line
of G. o. P. policy, strategy and
accomplishment. Hamilton start
ed it off with a message assuring
the faithful that many Roosevelt
supporters, "hurt and disappoint-
ed" by the Presidents Supreme
Court plan, fare bordering a new
political allegiance He said that
he would have the Republican
party fight unfair employers just
as earnestly as it fights the law
lessness of the sitdown."
The record boasts of Republic
can unity behind the present SUI
preme Court. 1t explains on no
bic grounds the effort of Repub-
lican leaders to keep silent on the
court issue. while egging on the
opposition Democrats. 1t doesn't
admit the Republicans saw that
strong, united and articulate Re-
publican opposition might help
Roosevelt. 1t says "the Republic
can party has chosen, with its at
titude toward the proposal clearly
understood by all, to put aside any
political advantage"
GREAT stress is laid on recent
" voting coalitions OF Repuo-
licans and Democrats. Unity Of
Republicans and substantial
Democratic group is cited in the
vote on the ByrneS amendment to
the Gufey coal bill, which would
have condemned the sitdoWh
strike without mentioning any
provocative tactics of employers.
The record also points WIN
pride to Republican votes against
the Gufey coal bill and Vanoen-
burg's proposals. for social Sesur-
ity reform; also to Republican
support OF crop insurance, van

Republican demands for an inVes,

INDUSTRY AND UNEMPLOYMENT

A loud and oft-repeated insistence has been COM
ing from Washington through all the days of the
recovery movement for industry to re-absorb its
own Idle labor, the evident theory apparently be-
ing that if industry would show such patriotism,
the unemployment problem would be overcome in
the same instant.
The National Association of Manufacturers an
nounces that industry has accepted the challenge
Of the president and put its workers back to bust
ness.
Its figures show that manufacturing concerns
now have IL 900, 900 workers on their payrolls and
that, so far as industrys employment status is
concerned, this is where these concerns were in
1929.
In other words, industry has absorbed the same
amount of industrial labor which was engaged
when the country was looming back yonder at its
then new prosperity peaks.
But the unemployment problem yet remains.
Industry's re-absorption process has not washed
away the millions whom the relief administration
in Washington insists yet remain for federal relief
And the answer to that strange situation is not
strange Indeed, it is very little.
That answer is that factory employment repre-
sents only small proportion of the total employ
ment of the whole country.

That was in 1911. Two years
later so successful had she be-
come that Miss Wilson, who ad-
mits that perhaps I was more
audacious than am today" built
her own shop.
It was while she was standing
on a Scaffold IS feet above the
floor throwing plaster on the walls
"to get that rough effect" that one
of her most important clients ap.
peared. Her blue eyes twinkling
the decorator said:
Apparently he wasn't, used to
looking for ladies rs feet in
the air because he seemed so
startled"
While she and the General were
stationed in Haiti Miss Wilson
decorated several mansions there.
. Whenever she goes abroad Miss
Wilson studies the great palaces,
often using decorative ideas from
them.
Once when visiting Holland she
stopped at the castle in which the
Kaiser stayed when he fled from
Germany after his armies were
defeated. 1t belongs to a Count
Benedick, whose ancestors are de-
scended from the House of Orange.
Half of the castle, she said, is
Gothic, the other half Louis XIV.
Louis, then King of France, used
to visit the castle yearly on hunt.
ing trips. He suggested that the
Prince of Orange give him suffi-
Gent land to build his own castle
and the latter refused.
That night the castle caught
fire. All except the wing in which
Louis slept was destroyed. When
it was rebuilt it was decorated
in Louis XIV style because that
was the prevailing period. And so
it remains today.
