employers. Should the Labor Board s
view prevail, the court will have to hold
that Congress not only sought to protect
the worAer in his right to bargain col
lectively, but intended also to protect
him from the logical consequences of his
own unlawful acts, so far As the labor
law Is concerned.
That Congress intended such a result
is beyond the bounds of probability, and
1t is no answer to say that workers guilty
of illegal acts can be punished under
State laws. The impotency of that
weapon has been too thoroughly
demonstrated.
1t follows that If the Supreme Court
sides with the Labor Board, as 1t may
have to do under the present wording
OF the act, Congress must amend the
law or permit its use as an instrument
to sanction abuses by labor which are
at least as foreign to the American sense
OF fair play as any of the employer
practices it was enacted to curb.

Around the Corner.

1T is perfectly clear We are getting a
rise in production and employment and
that rise is reflected in the size of the
w. P. A. rolls. Our curve goes down as
national income, productivity and en-
ployment 90 up 1t is Harry Hopkins,
boss of 313O,OOO relief workers, speaking.
And it is encouraging news to every
American. If only it is true this time.
Less than two weeks ago Mr.. Hopkins
assistant, Aubrey Williams, told by
President Roosevelt the w. P. A. would
have to make the remaining $764 900, 900
last until June 80, confidently predicted
an upturn in business would ease the
work relief burden. 1t was but an echo
Of the past.
In January of 1896 Mr.. Hopkins said
no reduction could be made in view of
probable conditions. But week later
President Roosevelt was reported de-
manding reduction. In March of that
year Secretary Perkins said reduction
soon would be possible, and at about the
same time Mr.. Hopkins ordered the rolls
reduced from 3,7OO,OO to 5000 900 by
the first of July. Then the predictions
followed in steady stream. In April
Mr.. Hopkins said they would be cut to
100000 by the end of June. In May
Secretary Roper praised business and
Government for the cooperation which
was bringing about an impending de-
crease in relief demands. In June Mr..
Hopkins predicted q general Nation wide
cut in the rolls, and in October he made
4 similar prediction.
Continuing In 1887, numerous predic-
tions along the same lines were made.
In January Mr.. Hopkins and President
Roosevelt peeked around the corner, and
twice in February and again In May Mr.
Hopkins was concerned mainly about
finding enough pots for all the chickens.
In June Mr.. Williams relieved him at
the tripod of the oracle, and so on, and
so on, and so on.
In almost every instance, however,
wholly unforeseen circumstances, such rs
floods and droughts, were blamed later
for having prevented the predictions
coming true. This time there is neither
food nor drought, but there is an cleo
ton, with . presidential campaign just
two years off. 1t is sincerely hoped that
conditions actually are reaching the
point where relief needs will be mate
rally iessened. But the Nations citizens
will be pardoned If they reach for the
saltcellar.

Shooting Stars.
BY PH1LANDER JOHNSON.

Evolution.
Big fish eat the little fish,
Swimming in the sea.
The hawk will chase the chicken
And eat it up with glee.
Dog pursues the rabbit,
And says it's just in fun;
All creation tries to get
Some creature on the run.
And man, despite his wisdom,
Keeps following the plan
OF his ancestral origin
And whips his fellow man.
Though peace that's universal
Would be a joy profound;
Well have to evolute some more
Before 1t gets around.
