WJASHINGTON.-Th ne wage
w hour bill issue, more obviously
than ever, has become sectional
nolitical football in queer game
where individual players keep
popping from one side to the
other, explaining that they don't
like the size or shape of the ball.
Chairman Mary Norton of the
House Labor Committee went to
the White House the other day and
thereafter informed her commit
tee that President Roosevelt insist
ed he must" have some kind of a
wage-hour bill.
Thereupon the committee APP
proved bill which would set a
minimum wage of Is cents an
hour (exempting agricultural la
bor) and a maximum work week
Of "A hours, the minimum wage IT,
be increased to 40 cents within
three years and the maximum
hours to be cut to 40 within two
years. y
Thus was achieved a measure
which won the support of Presi-
dent Bill Green of the A. F. of l..
and even that Of numerous north
ern Republicans who previously
had opposed other wage-hour pro-
poSals. ...
Original proposals of the adj
miniStration had left ample room
for wage differentials between
northern and southern areas. The
so-called Norton bill establishes a
fiat minimum wage for north and
south alike. =
President Green and the A. F.
of L. leaders previously had OPP
posed any differentialS and it had
been supposed that this was be-
cause they desired no minimum
wage legislation at all, since any
proposal for a national minimum
was sure to meet solid southern
opposition. But the new bill also
meets A. F. of L. demands for en-
forcement of its provisions by the
Department Of Justice and since

IT CAN ONLY HAPPEN HERE
lBy BRUCE CATION

The brightest illustration of what Amerl-
cahism really is was provided by-ot all
thmgs-that riot between American Lee
giqn men and Nazi members of the Ger
man-American Bund in New York the
other day. a.-.tl '... .
After the dust had settled, a pugnacius
NaZi was hauled off to court to answer
charges of carrying concealed weapons,
he'was accused of having trench knife IN
his belt. All things considered, you might
have supposed that this son of the Father
land would get pretty abrupt treatment in
the court. g. ..- ,.-. .
But it didn't work out that way. Tried
before Judge who was himself an Amerl-
can war veteran, and defended by a Jew
isH lawyer, the German was found not
guilty and discharged. And the Judge, III
discharging him, remarked on this strange
combination of facts and added: .--..
fThis situation in an American court
proves the worth-whileness of American
ism, a fair application of the law to all
defendants regardless of nationality" ,
Now there are, when you stop to think
ABOUT it, precious few places in the world
today where a thing, like that could have
happened; which is just another way, of
saying that exact justice as an abstract
quality is honored in only handful of
countries nowadays. There are too many
passions loose in the hearts of men for the
spirit of fair play to get much chance to
exert itself.
1t would be going altogether too far, OF
course, to say that all American courts, at
all times and places, display the even-tem-
pered fairness which marked this case in
New,York. We have long and sorry rec.
ord OF incidents of the opposite sorts.
Yet the ideal does remain. 1t is there al
the time for us to shoot at, and because il
is there we do hit it now and then. At the
very 4least, it does give US soil, so to
speak, which is favorable to the growth OF
fair play and tolerance. rn, -....E
And even that much, little as it is, is
worth great deal. 1t is the lump that leav.
ems the loaf, For before the oppression and
brutality which curse the world today can
tax ehold of a, people, that ideal must be
discarded. People must be persuaded that
it is a false value that needs to be discard
ed. They must cease even to respect it as
an abstraction. -.
We haven't got to that point. However
far we may fall short of our ideal, the ideal
itself, is still there to beckon us on. Some
day II we Continue to look at it-and to
get, every so often, concrete examples OF
the way it works out in actual practice
we shall reach the place where we car
turn It into daily reality. o.,

I'VE tried to convince him every
thing would be all right" the son said.
I'VE were fairly certain the hospital
bills would be cared for by the United

She explained that because Of Mr..
Fyfe's fine work record. the claim
was not turned down Immediately, al
