Morris seems to think that those
who suggest ideas ahead Of pop

re thinks this column "bursted"
when il suggested the conversion
OF leaves into compost rs rich,
organic garden material. He said
there are too many who wouldn't
use compost If it were neck deep
at the back door, therefore work
on these fellows.
Mr.. Morris pointed to the thrift
and industry of jim Mitchell, col

tie, saying that he was most ike
" living better than many white
people by using his mule and blow
to cultivate gardens in the city.
Mitchell, on being interviewed,
said his work with the theatre had
not permitted him to cultivate
many lots this year. He arranged
with Dewitt Bailey, colorcd, to
Djow for hire and cultivate vacant
lots. HE Just about broke up the
town last spring" said Mitchell,
whose share of corn was sufficient
this year to feed the mule, corn
some hogs and have bread for the
home table.

DETROIT HAS SEEN ENOUGH

Remember the automobile strikes? Remember
the sitdowns in Detroit and the rest of Michigan!
These were sponsored by John L. Lewis and the
C.. 1. O., and cost Detroit and Michgan's citizens
millions upon millions of dollars
But the people of Detroit have seen enough
They revealed how they feel about the c. |. o. in
Tuesdays mayoralty election in which the I. l. u
backed candidate was handed whacking defeat.
This is especially significant in that the office of
mayor in Detroit is a very powerful position, that
official having practically all important appoint
ments as his responsibility. The people of Detroit
knew they needed man who would do his own
thinking, so they did not elect puppet controlled
by the Lewis gang.
The sentiment fthe voters of Detroit, who have
shown they have stomach full of C. l. o. leader
ship and tactics in labor affairs, is important be-
cause they have seen what the Lewis organization
does to business they have seen his dictatorial
hand at work. And they didn't like it.
True Americans should be proud of the outcome
in Decentralization Independent.

To experts Of the Food am
Drug Administration, the Sultanli-

a series Of similar cases. The
fault lies in the willingness Of
some drug manufacturers to dis
tribute certain preparations with
out adequately testing their pos
sible effects. Dinitrophenol used
in "fat-reducing" preparations
cinchophen, and radium waters
arc said to have shocking fatality
records.
Even the original Tagwcll bill
however, carried no certain as
surance that ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
drugs might not be sold. The most
effective preventive would be :
federal act requiring such tests.
But we didn't have the politi-

PROSPECTS FOR MEN STILL WITHOUT
WORK
CBy BRUCE CATION

Before we can get finally Strengthened
out on the problem of unemployment, we
might as we'll face the fact that there is
lot of it which isn't really due to the de-
preston.
This kind of unemployment simply arises
from a gradual Tightening up in the world
of Jobs: q process which you can attribute
to increased efficiency, to machines, to the
increasing rigorS of a more competitive
business era, or to anything else you
choose, but which is keeping good many
willing men of the payroll no matter what
you call it.
Here is q sample case, which must be
representative of a pretty substantial num-
Der among the annals of our unemployed.
There is a man of 45 or so in a large
city in the middle west who lost his job a
couple of years ago. 1t was neither very
good nor a very bad job-just an average
white-collar position that paid perhaps $50
a week and kept the man in decent COM
fort
1t was partly the mans own fault that
ne lost the job. He made one of those
blunders that average people make every
so often, and the boss got sore and fired
him.
Anyway, this man lost his job. and he
set out to get another. He has been trying
for two years, and he hasn't succeeded yet.
He has failed, not because of that mOder-
ately black mark on his record, but simply
because there haven't been any jobs open
for him.
So he is still in the market for job, and
he would have starved to death long since
if it had not been for the WPA. That Or
ganization has given him series of jobs
(if you can call them jobs) and has kept
him alive. He is sort of time-keeper on
some WPA project now, and what he is
going to do when the WPA finally is dis
continued he has no fainteSt idea.
And the point is that this luckleSs chap
must be representative of a pretty large
group of the unemployed. He isn't such a
terribly good worker, and yet he is no.
bOdy'S dumbbell either he is well past his
youth, and yet he is capable of years Of
hard work; he is willing enough, and pa
thetically anxious to get the sort Of job he
is trained fOr-and he just can't land one.
That sort of thing hasn't much to do
with the depression. This man wasn't fired
because of the depression; it isn't the de-
preston that is keeping him from getting
a new job-eXcept, perhaps, indirectly, in
that economic pressure forces employers
to demand more from job-hOlderS than
they used to.
What's the answer, for men like him?
Are we going to have to have permanent
work-relief program, in good years and
bad. to care for the people who drop out
of the procession and can't find their way
back in?

q great deal Of uncertainty as to
the future Of the Supreme Court
measure and the air is full Of ru-
mors. The evening papers an
nounce that the President is will
ing to leave to Congress the de-
cision on whether his Supreme
Court Reorganization plan shall be
passed or shelved. A statement to
that effect was issued late yester-
day afternoon by several prom
inent Democratic Senators who
had called upon the President to
discuss the court bill. The morning
papers printed a letter written by
the President to Senator Barkley,
OF Kentucky, wherein the Presi-
dent demands action on the court
bill before adjournment, so now we
do not know just what the Presi-
dent has In mind as he has been
on both sides Of the question with
in the past twelve hours. / take it
from the comments made by Sen
ator Wheeler on the Presidents
remarkable letter that the opposi-
ton will move for definite action
on Tuesday and 1t is quite within
the realm Of possibilities that the
bill will have been recommitted to
the Judiciary Committee before
this letter appears in print. Judg-
ing from late developments in the
House have been too pessimistic
in my prophecy that the measure
would pass the House by a large
majority. Representative Hatton
Summers, Of Texas, Chairman OF
the House Judiciary Committee, in
remarkable speech Of an hours
length, declared that neither the
original Roosevelt court packing
plan nor the compromise substitute
bill now pending in the Senate
would be reported to the House by
his committee. In that event II
would be necessary for the admin.
istration to take the bill away from
the committee through discharge
rule which requires 21S signatures
I doubt If that number could be Sc.
cured unless Jim Farley stepped
into the breach with his bull whip
Most of the Democrtic Congress,
men have already made their post
master and other appointments
and they are now much more in
clined to follow their own judg.
ment and conscience, so I should
say that the bill would have rather
rough shedding in the House. The
Senate opponents of the Supreme
Court bill claim that they have 81
votes pledged to recommit the
measure. If this is done it will
sound the death knell to the plan
which will be a great relief tc
those who are opposed to the leg
islation, because they can see in II
grave danger to our form Of gov.

eminent. II the measure is defin-
itely killed by the Senate the next
step will probably be to submit to
the people a constitutional amend
ment providing for an enlarge
ment of the court. As a matter OF
fact, that method should have been
adopted in the first place although
/ can see no necessity for enlarg-
ing the court as it will mean only
more expense and less efficiency.
We all know that the bigger any
body Is the more cumbersome its
movements.
Adjournment Uncertain
The death Of Senator Robinson
and the uncertainty that prevails
as to the Presidents real feelings
with regard to the Supreme Court
bill makes adjournment indefinite
Senator Copeland, IN speaking Of
Senator Robinson's death, said:
Il have said before, and I repeat
now, that it is manslaughter to
keep Congress in session now.
There are other men in great dan
ger Of going the same way. They
cannot endure the strain. It Is a
wicked thing to keep men here I'M

Personally, I feel that Congress
should stay in session until all i'm

ing old age pensions, have been

Observations From
Washington
BY Congressman Harold Knutso,

n UFc8t Man RAISES IN
The outstanding event Of the
week in Washington was the death
Of the Majority Leader in the SEN
ate, Joseph T. Robinson, of Arkan-
sas. who passed away at his home
last Wednesday morning at the
age Of 65. Senator Robinson's task
as majority leader has been any
thing but pleasant and agreeable
in that it was his job as leader to
push the Supreme Court bill, which
everyone knows he was not for at
heart, but like the good soldier
that he was he carried out orders
without asking the whyfors and
wherefors.
In commenting upon Senator
Robinson's death Senator Cope
land, who Is also an outstanding
physician, made some remarks
about the late leader that I am go
ing to insert at this point.
Senator Robinson was in the
prime Of life, as we count age to-
day. He should have continued in
the midst Of things for a decade or
more. Our friend died in battle,
perhaps as he would have wished
to die, but there is little comfort
to his friends who mourn.
Some Of us felt he was carrying
a greater load than he should have
been given. Within few days,
Tuesday a week ago, indeed, I be-
came concerned over what I saw
through my medical eyes. Going to
his side in the midst of the debate
I urged him not to permit his zeal
to invite his own destruction. I
felt that the Angel of Death was
touching the elbow Of Senator
Robinson at that moment"
I knew Senator Robinson quite
we'll. In fact, we had fished togeth-
err on several occasions. He was a
great American, a great statesman
and a great leader. Peace to his
ashes.
