than compulsion through legislation

Grady. vice president Of the Radio
Corp. Of America and former First A.
astant Secretary Of Labor.
Mr.. McGrady told New Jersey indus
trial leaders at the 18th annual Indus
trial Congress at Rutgers University
yesterday that the point at issue was
Can business and Government
agree on point OF compromise which
will let business live by allowing it q
fair margain of profit and at the same
time give the people not only the
necessities Of life but some of its COM
forts and fair degree Of security for
the future"
He urged cooperation and compro-
mise on the part Of labor and industry
and said we would have industrial
peace in this country if both would
bury their suspicious" and sit around
the conference table as partners In q
joint enterprise.
The speaker also called for q clear
definition by Congress on the rights
Of industry. telling it what industry
can do in much the same manner as
the Labor Relations Act defined the
rights Of labor"

BRIDGE PROGRAM
PER|LED BY SUIT
Action Challenges 1887 Tax
Law to Pay for $50, 600, 900
Plan in Maryland.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associate Press.
BALTIMORE, Sept. "a hastily
instituted taxpayers suit, questioning
constitutionality Of an act Of the
1897 Legislature, threw Maryland's
$40, ,000, 900 bridge program into jeop-
ardy again today.
Providing = climax for the legal
difhculties encountered by the COM
mission in efforts to get the program
under way, Clinton Wyatt, Baltimore
attorney. entered the action in Su-
perior Court. seeking to enjoin the
commission from issuing revenue
bonds to pay for the bridges.
Mr.. Wyatt held the 1887 act en-
powering the roads unit to issue the
bonds was unconstitutional since the
legislation failed to levy . special tax
to pay the interest on the bonds and
to assure their retirement within IS
years.
Counsel for Mr.. Wyatt disclosed the
Public, Works Administration, to which
the Roads Commission has applied
for Federal aid, has demanded q court
decision on constitutionality of the
bond issue bill before it will approve
such aid.
The act specifies the bond interest
and principal shall be retired through
tolls on the four bridges contemplated
in the State program and shall con-
stitute . debt on the State. This pro-
vision, Mr.. Wyatt contended, was not
sufncient to render the General A.
sembly's act constitutional.
Thomas Jenifer. special assistant
attorney general assigned to the roads
commission, said arrangements had
been made to complete the case before
Judge Eugene O'Dunne and carry it
into the State Court OF Appeals next
Wednesday-in time to obtain . final
ruling before September 80, the P. W.
A. deadline for obtaining funds.
Should the court rule the 1887 act
unconstitutional, Mr.. Jenifer said, the
commission would have no means of
financing the IS per cent of the pro-
gram which would not be covered under
the P. w. A. grant.

rout of Mardonious, Herodotus re-

Beds played an important part in
the ceremonial life of the French court,
particularly during the reign of Louis
XIV. Louis XIV was probably the
most bed-minded person in history.
He possessed about four hundred bed
steads, most of which were highly
decorative beds of state. In our own
colonial times the bed often occupied
the honored spot in the parlor and the
pride of the housewife was reflected in
the lavishness of the coverings.
The evolution of the bed is a chron-
