Over 100000 Jews are on the waiting
list for entry into the United States from
Germany following recent outbursts of anti
Semitism among Nazis. The sympathy and
charity of this country will probably cause
US to take these unfortunate people, but the
situation certainly won't help the unem-
ployment conditions here - Sanford
Herald. Only in minor degree and
briefly will the unemployment situation be
affected, as most of them will be in bust
ness for themselves soon after they arrive.

The wage and hour law is working to
the detriment of many workman. Where
the law is compulsory, employers have dis
missed those workers who could not make
the grade and retained only those who
could produce more than the average, thus
balancing their production. Since the law
has been in effect less than month, it is
impossible to determine whether it win
prove blessing or a curse. Employees
who have lost their jobs, like the Greeks,
have name for it. The federal law APP
plies only to those engaged in interstate
business. and who's who has not been def
nitely decided. In imitation of the federal
government some Florida legislators. hop
ing to make hit with the electors. will at
tempt to have state wage and hour law
pat into the legislative hopper. but en-
ployers will not and cannot undergo fur
ther regulation of their business-it can
not stand the strain. much of which is at
the cracking point even now.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Oct. 90
An application for a permit to hold
public meeting at Pershing Field
Tuesday night, at which Roger Bald
win. director of the American Civil
Liberties Union. was a scheduled
speaker, was denied today by Public
Safety Director Daniel Casey.
The denial came two days after
Federal Judge william Clark re-
strained Mayor Frank Hague and
other city officials from interfering
with certain activities OF the C. I. O..
A. c. L. U. and allied groups. Judge
Clark said today. however, that since
formal order, which would make ef-
fective his injunction ruling. would
not be signed until Wednesday, the
denial of the permit was not EQUIV
alent to a test case.
The courts decision-outgrowth of
an injunction suit instituted in Fed
eral District Court in Newark by the
c. I. O., A. c. L. U. and others against
Mayor Hague, Mr. Casey and Police
Chief Walsh-ordered an end to de
portations" by police, and restrained
the officials from interfering with the
plalntif1s' right to speak in public
parks, distribute leaflets on the streets
and carry placards
Judge Clark's decision suggested
that officials, in passing on applica-
ton for speech permits, should take
into consideration whether a prior
speech by the applicant had caused
disorder.
Cites "Baldwin's Record"
In denying the application by Mrs.
Frances Mckee, secretary OF the Hud-
son County Committee for Labor De-
tense and Civil Rights, Mr.. Casey
wrote her that he had taken into
account the record of Mr.. Roger
Baldwin, who is listed as one of the
speakers at your proposed meeting.
Il am of the opinion that the same
consideration which compelled me to
deny the application for a similar
meeting, at which Mr.. Baldwin was to
be the speaker, some months ago, still
obtains ="
Mr.. Casey also wrote that to grant
the application would lead to riot,
disorderly assemblage and disturbances
because of the red element that you
would bring into the city with you"
In New York, Dean Spaulding
Fraser, Morris Ernst and other LAWYERS
for the plaintiffs announced they
would apply to Judge Clark on We'd
nesday for permits to hold public
meetings in Jersey City in a legal
maneuver to bring to the fore the spe-
cific issues involved.
