Washington, April 20 (AP)-The
House Rules Committee, ignoring
President Roosevelt's insistence on
enactment of wage-hour legislation at
this session, refused TO-DAY to grant
the revised wage-hour bill right Of
way to the House floor.
This action, which house leaders
said virtually meant the death of the
measure for this session came at the
close of two days of hearings, during
which the committee heard the bill de-
Tended as necessary to halt "vicious
spiral of deflation," and denounced as
arbitrary and capricious."
The bill would have fixed minimum
wages at 25 cents an hour for the first
year, scaling up to 40 cents at the END
of three years. Hours would start at
Al per week, and drop to 40 in two
years.
Chairman O'Connor, Democrat, New

against letting the bill reach the

Babson Park, Mass, April 29-Not
one major nation in the world today
is paying it's bills out of current earn
ings. The governments of the six big
powers are spending far more money
than they are taking in from taxes.
The resultant deficits are being met
by public borrowing. This condition
has been going on now for years and
there is no end in sight Moreover, the
deficits for 1888 promise to be the
biggest on record since the World
War Because of these Astronomical
shortages, I am convinced that cur
rency initiation is a worldwide, not
Just a national, probability
The fact that public finances abroad
are in such bad shape is overlooked
by most people when considering in
flation. If the pound, franc, mark

Raleigh, April 29.-Under cover of a
referendum barrage, the United Dry
Forces of North Carolina are making
a sustained "grass-roots" attack on
the liquor traffic-an offensive which
they believe will show that prohibi-
tion-really effective and workable
prohibitiOn-is not a dream, but a goal
which can be realized.
They have already gained a foot
hold by drying up completely-bee1
and wine being taboo along with hard
liquor-two small western counties,
Mitchell and Yancey, by legislative en-
actment which followed local action
laying the ground work. They have
driven every beer selling place but
one from Avery county and the coun-
ty commissioners are seriously con
sidering refusal to issue a license to
that one place.
A campaign of education, organi-
zation and cooperation resulted in
these prohibition advances, and The
United Drys show every indication Of
carrying just that kind of a campaign
into every section of the State.

Back Into Production

Back Into Production
MANY have damned Henry Ford simply because
NA he is rich. But he only created something
the public wanted. His greatest service was to
provide work for people to buy what his own
genius created.
selfmade rich man is usually the fault Of the
public.
It buys his product and then refuses or is un-
able to comprehend that the major portion Of
money it pays goes not into individual pockets but
into production again.
When the capital of a "big shot, is not work
ing he is relatively as poor as the workman with
out job Unless his capital is paying return
their own income stops The "big shot, has his
huge personal and business taxes to pay to sus-
tain what he has built up. If capital does not
work it dissoves. It still has to pay the taxes de-
manded by the Government.
IN business the big men are constantly spending
what they make. There might be some cause
for complaint if they buried what they made in
the ground like the Government. Heaven knows,
somebody has to have money to spend, invest ar1
produce to provide jobs Why damn such men as
crooks?
We raise hob with newspapers denounce the
publishers. Yet we pay q measly or cents for
all the news in the world, plus features stories,

costs to get out merely one edition for one day?

two, we seem to be developing into perennial
soreheads:
In bygone days automobiles were luxuries, were
accepted as such. People were prepared to pay
high prices for them. Then engineering genius,
by experimentation and development, brought
down their cost within reach Of all.
Millions Of us became so accustomed to these
luxuries that they were considered almost neces-

persons discovered they had not enough money
to support cars they cursed the heads of the
automobile corporations. as If it were their

RECONvENES FOR.
new DEAL TESTS.
Officials Confident oi
Liberal" Turn

U.N.SO Fresh attacks on far
reaching New Deal measures con-
fronted the Supreme Court as
that powerful tribunal formally
opened an eight-month term to-
day.
Confident the court has def
nitely turned liberal" in its in
depreciation Of the Federal Con-
stitution, New Deal officials viewed
the new term with an air Of salts
faction.
ONE VACANCY
AS the black robed justices
gathered with Chief Justice
Charles Evans Hughes, one chair
was vacant. The vacancy caused
by the death of the late Justice
Benjamin N. Cardozo has not
been filled.
President Roosevelt, it was gen.
orally expected, will permit the
vacancy to continue until Con-
gress meets in January so that
the Senate may confirm his nomi-
nation speedily.
The outstanding New Deal case
before the tribunal is the appeal
of 16 utilities asSailing constitu-
tionality Of the power expansion
program of the Tennessee Valley
Authority.
LABOR CASES UP
While the court on one occasion
ruled 8 to ! in favor Of iva, the
decision was limited in scope. The
utilities hope to present a differ
ent icture by showing how far
reaching is the power program.
They contend that power, and
rot navigation or flood control, is
the real object Of IVA.
The courts docket inclu d s
many cases which involve either
Interpretation of the National
Labor Relations act or validity Of
board decisions.
A. F. OF L. RULING
The court will determine
whether the Labor Relations
Board had power to order the Con-
solidated Edison Company Of New
York to break a contract with an
A. F. Of L. union, which covered
10000 workers.
This case, in the opinion Of
many observers, may have a vital
bearing on the outcome of the bat
tie of the A. F. Of L. against the
Labor board, which it has charged
with favoring the CIO. In the
case before the court the COM
plant that the law was violated
by the A. F. of L. contract was
made by the CIO.
CHILD LABOR CASES
Gases which may affect future
efforts to amend the constitution
will be before the court. These
cases, coming from Kansas and
Kentucky, involve the questions Of
whether the anti-child labor
amendment is dead, whether leg
iSlature can ratify a constitutional
amendment after a previous legiS-
lature has rejected it, and whether
a proposed amendment becomes
dead when three-fourthS Of the
legislatures have once rejected it.
The court is expected to say
early in the term whether it will
review the appeal Of Thomas J.
Mooney, noted labor prisoner.
After a formal session today, the
court was to adjourn until next
Monday, when it will hand down
rulings on about 800 petitions.
The usual formal call by the
court at the White House on its
opening day was omitted because
of the absence of President Roose-
velt from the city.
