Whether the wage and hour bill
goes through to enactment in this
session depends almost entirely upon
labor and members of congress who
are friends of labor and are quietly
sending out the cry for help.
The cry is for labor to go into
action.
Some members, ordinarily friends
of labor, are telling friends quietly
that they are glad of the chance to
dodge on an issue in which labor
shows no deep interest.
Other members, earnest in their
friendship, frankly say they wish
labor would turn on the heat so as to
check the weak ones.

Bill Faces Log Jam
There is strong likelihood that
the bill will be strangled in a legisla-
| tive jam. The senate committee has
reported the bill out, hoping the
house would adopt its report. The
house committee members seem to
have no great appetite for that, pre-
ferring to make their own report.
With two widely differing reports
a jam may come through inability te

are indications that some of the
strategy being used is for the de-
liberate purpose of tying up the bill

Chicago (ILNS)-Cities in which
more wage earning than business and
professional families of the same in
come own their homes have come to
light. They are convincing the home
building and home owning commit
tee of the United States Building and
Loan League that popularization of
owned homes must reach up to the top
incomes as well as down to the small
est incomes on which ownership is
possible.
The committee points to some sur
prising figures which the Bureau OF
Labor's urban study of consumer pur-
chases has brought out. Reports
from five cities in the 10000 to $4,000
group have been made public in this
survey and they show that community
habits have great deal to do with
the way families take to the idea OF
getting themselves home.
Workers Own Most Homes
Among the business and profess
sional people with incomes between
So, 900 and $4,000, in three of the five
cities surveyed, it was found, a
smaller percentage were home owners
than among the wage -earners making
the same money. In two of these
same cities like contrast is seen be-
tween the homecoming habits of the
professional and wage earning groups
with incomes between $1,000 and
$4,000.
Savings and loan associations which
are closer to the homecoming ambi-
tions and practices of the working
man have long felt that this group
formed much more of the backbone of
the home ownership movement than
is generally recognized. This helpful
study by the Bureau Of Labor gives
supporting evidence.

Car Improvements

Automobile design has been changing slowly to what Detroit engineers call marine" type of construction. Before long, they say, the running board, ale ready about half gone, will entirely dis appear, with the body widening out acc cordingly, and the body and chassis merging into one unit. The motor, now regarded as powerful enough, but tend- ing to grow smaller and lighter, may be moved to the rear. If these changes oc- cur, mere paSsenger-almost any pass enger with little imagination might suggest to the engineers two very desir- able improvements.
 The first would be modern bumper really designed to take bumps, no mat ter from what direction. A bumper run ming all the way around car, strong enough to break the force of ordinary col lisions and safeguard the lenders and body which are now always getting crushed and running into big expense. A universal bumper suitably streamlined to merge in the car picture. The second would be some arrangement of springs and cushions in the front of the car for better protection to the driver and front seat passengers in head-on collisions. Moving the motor to the rear would af- ford better opportunity for that.

The American Example

Secretary of State Hull is reported to have said, to an important foreign diplo- mat at Washington recently something like this: "Why cannot you European statesmen at least attempt what we American nations did at Buenos Aires? Why just sit and float on with a hopeless ly unsound economic situation, with hopelessly disturbed and chaotic political situation, with perilous armament situ- ation? Why not make general effort along the line of the good neighbor' policy?"
 It is word timely spoken. And it can hardly be that European leaders them selves have failed to see the benefits from such friendly cooperation as we are prac- Using in this hemisphere. If the Argen- tine conference were really to become an inspiration and model for the European powers now hag-ridden by fear and hate. it would serve an even more valuable purpose than the one intended.
 These American countries, with all their difficulties and misunderstanding, would hardly wreck themselves and the world by military mix-up. But the jumpy powers of Europe may wreck mod ern civilization if they cannot manage somehow to get together around big table and make true peace based on mutual interest and good will.

Browning of Two Georges

This blooming British coronation is go- ing to be the biggest and most expensive show of it's kind in history. It is expected to cost the government about $2, ,3OO,O ,OOO. The most extravagant coronation in the past is said to have been that of George w in 1921. And thereby hangs a tale that might have an application to the present business.
 British off1cialdom happens to be em- phasizing the political significance" of the crowning of King George VI. This ceremony is counted on to be "the most vital step so far in the campaign to strengthen the link of empire provided by the royal family, and to popularize the new King and Queen throughout the En- pire." Yes, to be sure!
 "Far different" says a London dis patch, "were the admitted motives of King George ", who made his corona tion a grand show to attract attention away from his marital difficulties. The furore caused by his Queen Caroline who, .estranged and living on the Continent, returned to Britain and tried to gate crash the coronation, only to be refused admittance to the Abbey, still rings loud in British history"
 Really, issit going to be so very differ cnt now? Suppose the Duke of Windsor, or his bride, or both, were to "craSh" this coronation! Scared statesmen may be looking for them behind every lamp post.

Terrible Exhibition

The foregoing was called into expression as a result of the news paper report of the, hearing at the capital the day before yesterday on the dastardly attempt being made to reduce the rates of inter est charged on small loans to z percent a month or A percent per annum. Alawyer of great prom thence was appearing before the Committee on Banking to oppose the bill for a .lient of his. Un- fortunately the lawyer also enjoys great prominence in the political world and that fact was beloved into what should have been, III view of the seriousness @of the matter under consideration, a dis passionate discussion of the merits or demerits of the issue. The bel- lowing was performed by Fog Horn Bill" Lyons one time Repub- lican representative from Norwalk and re-echoed by erstwhile Social ist Senator Albert E. EccleS or Bridgeport. The latter quite car ried away by the fervor of his elo- quence expressed the hope that 1T the committee did not report fla vorably on the bill the members of 1t would never get another good nights sleep. A Democratic seii- ator not to be outdone by Com. rade Ecclcs characterized the small loan gentry as "bloodsuck- ers." All of which gives me great pain of body and intense anguish of soul. My ideas on the rights of loan sharks have been ex-, pressed in these columns before and I don't want to repeat them this afternoon. I only want to say that the language used at the hearing Wednesday was unworthy of legislators and llurnanitarians. How anyone could wish to deprive even a blood sucker of the gore
