LoNG-RANGE WEATHER PREDICTIONS

Practically every day throughout the
United States, the ''weather-man'' is
laughed at for missing his predictions as to
the weather. There is, in some places, a
tendency to believe that the weather fore
cast is most of the time wrong.
OF course, well-informed citizens
know that the forecasts of U. S. Weather
Bureau are unusually accurate In fact,
the day-to-day weather reports have
proved so successful that experts are now
looking ahead to the time when the Gov
eminent will be able to make accurate
weekly predictions. Already, arrange
ments have been completed for experts of
rthe Government and scientists al, the Mas
sachusetts Institute of Technology to CO.
operate in an experimental lopg-range
eweatherforecasting effort. For soihe time,
five-day weather forecasts will be made
and the predictions carefully compared
with the weather that follows. The re-
ports will not be made public for many
months and only then in the event that
long-range forecasting comes out on top
The basis of the predictions will be a
StuuS VI the movements OF Tree air ABOVE
the earth. The five-day forecast will be
based on reports from all over the United
States, covering surface weather condi-
tions above the ground. The theory be-
hind the experiment is that the behaviour
of large bodies of upper air will reveal an
obedience to seasonal fluctuations.
Readers of The Citizen should under
stand that the daily weather reports are
not based on mind-reading but upon con-
ditions observed. Reporters scattered all
over the United States keep the Weather
Bureau thoroughly informed as Ia eondi-
tons everywhere. For example, when re-
porters tell Of storm hitting the coast and
moving inland. it requires no prophet 10
predict that the force of the storm will be
felt in interior sections. Weather reports
in this day and time are not based on head
work but upon reported conditions and in
accordance with a scientific study Of at
moSpherie conditions over a long period Of
time.

KIDNAPPING DOES NOT PAY

Back of thicket of palmettos little
child was found dead this morning. In
nocent victim of fiend's plot for gain,
that little child today is the cause for more
genuine grief among the people of Florida
and the nation than any other single hap
pening The boys murder aroused every
decent instinct that beats in the breast of
man. A whole world stands shocked and
with bowed heads men and women every
where are offering silent prayers for the
little boy and the bereaved parents Mr..
and Mrs. James B. Cash of Princeton.
One of the first reactions to the dis
covery of the decomposed body is to clinch
a fist, mutter a curse and wish for an in
slant alone with the man or men respon-
sible for that terrible murder Nearly
every man would want to lend hand to a
rope stringing the murderers to the nearest
tree. Certainly the kidnapers deserve the
worst possible punishment, for there is
nothing quite so mean and low and foul as
the crime they committed.
However the law is the law and Nc
Call and his partners in the crime probably
will be amply protected by ]. Edgar Hoo
yer and the states attorney until they can
be brought into court and convicted. tt is
bad enough that Florida men were iden-
titled as the kidnapers. 1t would be in
sfiIiteB wofse for the state if the kidnapers
were taken out of the hands of the law and
4ynched, as many have suggested. Law
enfofeenienb officers solved the crime Let
the law-enforcement officers punish the
guilty.
Too much credit cannot be given the
agents of the government under j. Edgar
Hoover. They acted promptly, efficiently
and expertly. There was no muddling and
bungling. They proved what a trained
body of men can do when put to the test
There is no finer arm of the government
service and the people of Florida are with
them to a man.
President Roosevelt is to be con-
graduated for earmarking $50, 900 to cover
the expenses of the federal investigation of
the Princeton case. With such funds at
their command the government agents can
operate with the fullest freedom, not stop
ping to undertake any line of investigation
because of the expense involved. Where
a child's life is at stake and while anguish
ed parents suffer nothing should be left UNI
done. The fund should serve as warning
to others that kidnapping does not pay.

The Art affirmed the right of
employees to full freedom in self
organizations, and in the designa-
ton of representatives of their
own choosing for the purpose of
collective bargaining. 1t forbids
employers from dismissing en-
ployes because of union member
ship or engaging in union activi-
ties, from supporting company
unions financially, or aiding in
their organization; from refusing
to bargain with any labor organi-
cation chosen by the majority of

The Act was upheld by the
United States Supreme Court on
April IL, 1887, in five cases APP
pealed from lower courts. In six
additional cases, the Court failed
to announce any opinion adverse
to the Labor Board or holding
invalid any single provision of
the law. In its opinion, the Court
upheld the Act as a valid exercise
of the commerce power of Con-
gress, said that it did not violate
the due process clause of the
Constitution, and declared that
the procedural provision ade-
quately safeguards against arbi-
trary action.

In brief, the Act recognized the

Subsequently, the Court held
that the Board could not be en-
joined from holding hearings on
complaints against employers,
that in particular situations, when
it finds domination or interior
ence on the part of an employer
in the organization of his en-
ployes, the Board has the power
to order the employer to with
draw recognition from the social
ed company union; that the sta
tute applies to an employer pro-
cessing raw materials within one

that workers on a strike remain

1t should be clearly understood,
in the beginning, that the Nation
al Labor Relations Act, signed by

labor.

He points out that "Labor's ex-
perience with the courts has, gen.
orally speaking, not been happy
one" There has been, he says,
many attempts by Labor to cor
rect, by legislation, the lack of
comprehension shown the social
problems of employer-employe by
certain courts, which have been
slow to adapt their points of
view to the reorganization of the
human rights of Labor in an
evolving, dynamic and democratic
society"

In view of the widespread dis
cussion of the National Labor Re-

of the history connected with
both.
