nor's latter contention here ob- viated any reference as of eight years ago to the Waterbury situa- tion. The above paragraph was the only mention which could have been interpreted" as being far fetched reference to the situation in Waterbury and Fairfield county where grand juries have involved numerous high-ranking Democrats and Republicans in cenSure and charges, including Democratic state and municipal officials, members of the Republican state central com mittee and Democratic and Repub- lican members of the General As- sembly.
 What Governor Said
 The governors Fairfield address continued:
 "One of the happiest things is that these exposures should have come while I am governor. It's been there and now it's coming out into the open" He elaborated on this sentence today, saying:
 "As soon as I got Democratic attorney general. we began to dis cover one thing and another, ir- regularities in state departments.
 At no time did Governor Gross mention Waterbury, although he did remark of the Fairfield Merritt Parkway land scandals:
 "If I had a Democrat for high way commissioner, we could have moved forward much faster"
 This reference was to former Commissioner of Highway John A Macdonald, long, time Republican dictator of the department, whose resignation was asked by the gov. ernor after Macdonald's severe cen. sure by the Fairfield County grand jury.
 Irregularities Referred To
 The irregularities" to which ht referred were land purchases ir connection with the Merritt Park. way and "overpayments" in un. named state departments, the gov ernor explained. So far as Water. bury was concerned, Governor Cross said that at the time of his first election and until recently, he regarded Waterbury as in "compe- tent hands,"

Heroic Dog of Japanese
Brings Help to Besieged

TOXIC @.-The story of an army dog
and regulation recommendation that it
be decorated has been received by the war
office from the commander of japanese
garrison at an unnamed post in China.
japanese military authorities said band
of about $50 Chinese guerillas staged a
surprise attack on a small Japanese gar
rison in Anhwei Province Completely
surrounded and in danger of being over
whelmed by weight of numbers, the Japa-
nese commander pinned a note asking for
help under the collar Of Sergeant" big,
army-trained German shepherd dog The
dog was dispatched to the nearest garrison,
some 80 miles away.
Tense with excitement, the japanese
watched Sergeant" slip out of town and
approach the Chinese positions. Suddenly
there was flash of rifle fire in the dark
ness. The soldiers saw the dog leap into
the air and fall, kicking spasmodically.
I'VE resigned ourselves to fate" the ON.
GERS report told the war ONCE.
But several hours later relief arrived.
Trucks from the neighboring garrison came
rumbling over the plain and the Chinese
dispersed.
With one leg broken and partially para
lyzed by the bullet, Sergeant" had dragged
himself through the Chinese lines and de-
livered the message.

tantamount to public admission its pro-
ceedings have not been fair and impartial"
At the time Of the adoption of that
resolution there was circumstantial evil
dence to support it, but to very consid-
cradle extent the Mackay decision has
wiped out that evidence. Should the court
follow the same course in the Republic and
Ford cases the victory for the Labor Board
will be complete
Bias Members Not Touched On.
The finding by the court of course, re-
lates primarily to the fairness of the
boards proceedings as shown on the face
of the record. and does not pretend to pass
upon the bias or lack of bias of the indi-
vidual members of the board. The demand
Of some business men and such critics as
Senator Burke, Democrat, Of Nebraska, for
modification of the act and replacement Of
the board members grows out Of the belief
that they are prejudiced against the en-
ployer and will deny him an impartial
hearing no matter what the form Of pro-
cedure may be.
It should be apparent by now, however,
that II their complaint is valid. the rene
dial steps will have to be taken by Congress
and not by the courts. Even If the Supreme
Court should rule against the board in the
steel and motor cases it could, at most, only
order . rehearing accompanied by the filing
Of the intermediate report and the receipt
Of oral argument. It Is not likely that
would alter the ultimate finding Of the
board.
But in fairness to the board it should be
remembered that it has been before the
Supreme Court IL times and has emerged
victorious In every case. And it Is not
wholly unreasonable to suppose that II there
had been any real evidence Of unfairness in
the Mackay case, those justices who have
opposed the philosophy Of government rep
resented by the Wagner Act would not have
sided With the majority.

United States Conference of Mayors echoes
the Federal official in placing the blame.
Some of the State governments have been
chiseling on their relief obligations ever
since the Federal Government established
the present policy in 1885" Mr.. Betters
said Illinois and Ohio have been two
of the worst With the State Legislatures
in many cases dominated by the partisan
groups opposed to the municipal admins
trations, or by rural politicians who are
determined not to let the urban emer-
gencies become burdens to the States, there
has been utter failure to meet the relief
problem adequately.
"A few of the States. notably New York,
have done their full share or more Most
have not"
The municipal spokesman was emphatic
not only in his belief that the Federal Gov
eminent has zone its share in carrying the
employables but also that it should not re-
enter the field of direct relief.
The States are able to carry this burden
and they should" he said. 1T would be q
mistake for the Federal Government to re-
turn to this policy and the result would be
continued and more extensive chiseling by
the States"
As this was being written, the Illinois
Legislature was preparing its answer in its
plans for a night session to act upon emer-
gency appropriation bills.
Whatever develops in the next few days.
it is apparent that the municipalities are
unable to assume any greater burden for
any extended period and that the Federal
Government does not intend to- Unless
these and other Legislatures act, threats of
starvation are likely to become actualities.
It should be realized, however, that such
occurrences would not be the end of the
tragic story-even unemployables do not
starve peaceably.

status as employees This would be true.
the opinion said. even if it were conceded
that the company had conducted the ne
gotiations in good faith with view to
signing a contract.
But. the court continued, the fact that
the men did not lose their status as en-
ployes during the strike did not of itself
require the company to give them their
jobs back. It's only effect, Justice Roberts
said, was to protect the men against being
dismissed, which was the effect of the
refusal to reinstate them. because of their
activities on behalf of the union.
Pointing out that the Wagner Act cam
not be construed so as to interfere with
or diminish in any way the right to strike,
Justice Roberts added that 1T does not
follow that an employer. guilty of no act
(unfair labor practice) denounced by the
statute, has lost the right to protect and
continue his business by supplying places
left vacant by the strikers. And he is not
bound to discharge those hired to fill the
places of strikers. upon the election of the
latter to resume their employment. in
order to create places for them. The as
surance by the company to those who ac-
copied employment during the strike that
If they so desired their places might be
permanent was not an unfair labor prac-
tice nor was 1t such to reinstate only so
many of the strikers as there were vacant
places to be filed
In other words, the company's refusal to
reinstate the five men would not have vio-
lated the Wagner Act and would have been
beyond the reach of the board had it not
been for that agency's finding that the re-
fusal to reinstate the men was due to a
desire on the part of the company to dis
criminate against them because of their
union activities practice that is de-
nounced by the act.
Finds Supporting Evidence.
The court held that the boards findings
as to discrimination were supported by
evidence. That evidence was disputed by
on its suficiency.
Apparently the court took the position
that so long as the record showed there
was some evidence on which the board
could base its finding of discrimination,
the court would not 60 behind that EVIL
dence and determine whether it was enough
to offset the proof offered by the company
In refutation.
There was evidence, which the board
credited, that several Of the five men in
question were told that their union activi-
ties made them undesirable to their EN-
ployer," Justice Roberts said: &c" The
board found, and we cannot say that its
finding is unsupported. that in taking back
six of the eleven men and excluding five
who were active union men, the respond
ent's Company officials Disseminated
against the latter on account of their union
activities and the excuse given that they
did not apply (for reinstatement until
after the quota was full was an after
thought and not the true reason for the
discrimination against them"
Had 1t not been for the evidence of Union
discrimination. the court added, in effect,
the board could not have ordered the REIN
statement of the five strikers. II the COM
panys refusal to re-employ them had been
based on the belief that the new men were

As a rule, our intelligent neigh
bors in that section of the United
States which lies north Of Key
West, realize that from now on
they are merely way stations on
the way to the frost-free city; and
that they might as well encour-
age traffic here. The more peo-
pie that come to Key West, the
more gas and hot dogs they can
sell.
But there is an occasional thick
headed liar who INDUCES in q
vain hope that he can obscure the
rising sun. Here IS a letter from
Fort Lauderdale:
Most of the people we talk
with tell US that the toll is from
$1,000 to $1,000. Please let us
know how much the toll is from
Homestead.
And another from Alaska ask
ing if it is true that the bridges
will be only One-car wide

Then there was that stranger
who drove in loaded down with
water and gasoline, because he
had been informed on good au-
thority" that neither one of those
essentials could be had here. And
the one who wrote from Miami to
know if the price of gas here was
really 40 cents per gallon.
