Administration leaders today dis
cussed a proposal to make employ

spur industrial production and meet
temporarily the rail finance problem.
Senator Schweilenbach, Democrat,
of Washington, who advanced the
suggestion. said he believed Govern

profitably on railroads than any other
field to promote recovery.
Senator Wagner. Democrat, of New
York. agreed He said requirements,

Senator Schwellenbach estimated

finance such railroad improvement
program. He said it should be under

congressional pledge for a thorough
study of the railroads threatened
bankruptcy aimed at finding a perma-

Senator Schwellenbach's proposal
was simple in terms but far reaching
in import.
The Government would select,
among competing lines, those which
appeared the strongest financially and
the most logical" from the stand

The author paints vivid picture
of the life of the average housewife
under Hitler's rule. What and how
much she feeds her family, what she
does with her waste products, are
decided for her by Gen. Goering
and DR.. Schacht. Even the type of
drip pan she uses to collect grease
from the cooking is decreed by the
government.
We get some interesting side lights
on that almost mythical personality,
Adolph Hitler. The man who arouses
thousands by his oratory weeps when
he is crossed and who remains the
final arbiter Of questions affecting the
destiny of 100000 people.

Another interesting development has
been the increase in the number Of

in Washington. It Is understood that
several national magazines have pre-

sumption behind the Act is that trade
unionism holds a privileged status de-
MED the employer. The hand of the
law Is to regulate the employers labor
decisions, but the union Is to function
in m archaic world outside the zone Of
public regulation. When the
State courts intervene to punish illegal
practice of unioniSts, the Board ex.
aminer throws the sheltering arms of
the Federal Government around them
and fines the employer"
And, further, he notes that the Act,
as 1t now stands, actually prevents an
employer from dismissing incompetent
and tnsubordinate workers.
All these abuses, IS he sees them, in
jure rather than help the cause Of
labor, and he sums up by saying: If
American labor Is wise, it will make
haste to safeguard Its Wagner Act gains
by the voluntary acceptance Of the
Just demands Of management for q

gic retreat from its present untenable

CONTRASTING aspects of unem-
ployment are exhibited in TWO
pieces appearing in two February mag
azines--the Mercury and Scribner's.
The Mercury story is fiction. 1t Is a
heartbreaking account Of job hunting
where there are dozens of applicants
for each position, and only few posi-
lions at that. Any one who has made
the desperate rounds in search of work

thor Is Martha Witte.

and an applicant for the position sent
her by an agency-presumably relief
agency. The lady welcomes the ap-
plicant joyfully-not that the applicant
looks like perfect maid by any means.
but that the lady is willing to try
