about the kidnapping of the Long
Island matron revealed that a
car bearing the insignia of the
sheriff of Suffolk county had
been parked in the vicinity of
the New York Trust Company.
$4,000 Withdrawn
At about the same time, 1t was
learned, $4,000 in bills of small
denominations were withdrawn
from the bank by a brokerage
firm.
The kidnapers of Mrs. Parsons
demanded $25, 1000. 1t was thought
a slightly smaller sum might
have been withdrawn to con-
ceal the nature Of the trans
action.
1t was indicated in advance
that all queries concerning the
matter would be met with de-
malls. Later both Suffolk county
authorities and officials of the
brokerage firm insisted the Par
sons case was not involved.

Nevertheless, in some quarters
the belief persisted that the
money was being placed in readi-
ness pending further word from
the abductors which may restore
the kidnap victim to the SQUAD
farm of her husband. William H.
Parsons, in Stony Brook.
1t was noted that as soon as
the bank transaction was COM

agents then left hurriedly by

I W0NEN HEAD
LABOR SET-UP
CONTINUED from Page ~

CONTINUED from Page II
merry, Of the House Committee on
Labor, puts Mrs. Mary Norton,
Congresswoman from the Jersey
City, N. j., district, in line for
the job of steering through the
House the k-Connery wage
and hour bill. Full Of dynamite
with its 30-hour week possibilities:
but supported 100 per cent by
labor, this labor bill would require
the experienced services Of an
aStute legislator.
Decision Awaited
The fact that Mrs. Norton is
chairman of the District Com.
mittee may prevent her from step
ping up on the important labor
committee; the fact that she is
a good party member, from the
district of the most successful
political boss in the EaSt-Frank
Hague'S; the fact that she is con.
sentative to a marked degree in
contrast to the almost radical
views of the Secretary Of Labor,
may be. factors in the decision
which will have to be made py
Congressional leaders.
1t is understood that the Ad-
ministration leaders are none too
keen about Mrs. Norton as chair.
man of the Labor Committee of
the House.
In the present state Of tense
feeling between the Capitol and
the White House, Congress may
decide to do its own promoting
and move Mrs. Norton to the
craftsmanship of the Labor Com
mittee.
If the other end of the city has
its way, so it is reported, Repre-
sentative RamSpeck of Georgia,
now third man on the Labor Com
mittee, will be made chairman.
If so, it would mean that the age
old rule of seniority has been
shattered in honor Of the Brain
Trust.
Job Very Rough
Political bosses are generally
conservatives; even for New Deal
Administrations Boss Frank
Hague is no exception; he is ex-
tremely conservative and so is
Mrs. Norton. 1t would be diff
cult to imagine Mrs. Norton and
Secretary of Labor Perkins seeing
eye to eye on all labor matters.
1t is interesting when two strong
men fall out in matter political,
but to have a woman Cabinet Of
ficer at odds with a woman con-
gressional leader who is presumed
to carry the Cabinet officers ban
ner would be indeed an exciting
episode in American political
matters.
House leaders are likely to
measure Representative Norton'S
ability to stand sudden and furi-
Gus legislative storms and attacks
on the floor of the House. AS
chairman of the District Commit
tee of the House, Mrs. Norton has
at times been bowled over by a
rush of impetuous members who
have not seen the matter the way
Mrs. Norton would have liked.
1t could be easily argued that
the rough tactics of the House
might be so hard on Mrs. Norton's
delicate sensibilities that it would
not be at all chivalrous to appoint
her to the Labor Committee chair.

BARGAINING
IN INDUSTRY
ARGUED
By WILLIAM s. NEAL
international News Service

The far-reachlng issue OF
whether Congress can extend its
broad arm to promote collective
bargaining in industrial plants
throughout the nation was argued
in the Supreme Court today.
The issue was raised in three
cases. In each case the Govern
ment was forced to appeal because
circuit courts of appeals held that
the National Labor Relations act
did not apply to manufacturing.
In an effort to show that Con-
gress has the constitutional power
under the National Labor Rela-
tions act. Solicitor General Stanley
Reed cited the present strike situ-
alton of the nation and the pos
sible threat of a strike in the
steel industry.
Steel FiOm Case
The first of the manufacturing
cases developed when the Labor
Relations Board ordered the Jones
and Laughlin Steel Corporation
to reinState II discharged work
ers. The board charged they were
fired because they Joined a steel
workers union. a charge denied
by the company Reed said:
"Of course, the court is famil-
lar with the serious strike stu
alton. We do not expect you
to hold that we have power
because of this"
He argued that since Jones and
Laughlin buys raw materials in
other States and ships goods to
other States from its Alliquippa
CPa) plants, it is engaged in inter
state commerce.
Question Power
Justices McReynolds and Suth-
erland, during argument of j.
Warren Madden. chairman of the
Labor Board, appeared to question
his theory that the Government
could regulae tabor regulations of
meat packers as part of its com
merce power.
While decisions of the court in
the series of cases may cover a
wide field, argument of Govern.
ment lawyers indicated that they
will not settle the status of the
labor relations act.
The issues of whether the Gov
ernment can compel employers to
negotiate with a union or the right
of the board to name one union
the exclusive representative of all
workers is not raised in the cases.
Reed insisted.
