 Local municipal officers and officers of US Mar shals offices haven't the money the personnel to deal with cases where all is not present that meets the eye"

Nuts and Wages
lCleveland Plain Dealerl

Cleveland Plain Deaer)
 Starvation wages help to hike the cost of relief This fact frequently overlooked by those who com plain with good reason when relief requirements strain public budgets
 An example comes to attention in the denial of the plea of certain southern pecan shelters for exemp ton from the Federal wage and hour act 1hey asheo the right to pay Is cents an hour to learners TOT 9O-day period Under the act the administrator has authority to grant exemptions to prevent curtanehe of opportunities of employment.
 When the law went into effect pecan shelters pro tested vigorously They said it's $ll week mmmum would put them out of business Ihey olsiiisSeu d number of employees Foes of the act proclaliheu that "3OO0O had lost their jobs through the law" As a matter of fact most of the dismssas CO., ncided with the industrys light season when there always had been layoffs. The number affected the wage-hour administrator reports, was 5OOO not 3oooo
 hearing was held on the shelters complaint It establishes the fact that the industrys employees largely centered in the San Antonio Grex) district, had flor years lived under shocking working and lv- ing conditions with wages ranging as low as S2 or s3 a week requiring the employment of children to make q family income of S10 week"
 ITO bridge the gap between their slender earnings and starvation" the boards investigators found, re lief church aid and private charity were necessary. Yet the industry which paid this sub-standard wage was found to be mot depressed unable to meet it's social and economic obligation to the community. One company reported a net profit of more than s5O0O0O in a recent two-year period
 In short, these employers were showing part ot their pay roll cost over to public relief and private charity even as were those Cleveland millinery shops which the Consumers League of Ohio investigated several years ago
 The net effect of the wage-hour law should raise the living standard of neglected and exploited group of helpless people and reduce San Anonos relief load There are likely to be just many oceans eaten even if decent wage standard should minutey increase the cost to the ultimate consumer.

Paul Bunyan Goes Home
(New York Tines)

Paul Bunyan, they say was originally a Down. East Yankee But nothing less powerful than the wings of hurricane could ever have carried hlm and Babe the great blue OK, back to the scenes of his youth Yet there they are striding across New England again to tackle the biggest logging job in the memory of man
 In Northern Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire four billion board feet of timber lies on the ground These wnd-felled trees represent eight times New Englands annual cut. The Federal Forest Service is buying hurricane logs and proposes to sagger their sales so as not to gut the market But whether they sell or not. the fallen trees must be cleared out by Otherwise this vast. unWanted windfal would stretch into fire hazard hundred miles across from Long Island Sound up to Canada
 In the three States chiefly affected they have all but forgotten about logging The old skill and hard- hood have rusted the days of the first Roosevelt Trimming out the woodlots doesn't season man to plunge into the forest and skid the logs to the ponds or swing peavey when he gets them there Never theless the umberacks gathering along the Merr- mac and the Connecticut Some of them are down from Maine-the redoubtable Bangor Tigers who march to their work on tractors Some of them Wisconsin bred beside the lakes scooped from Paul Bunyan foot tracks. The slow oxen, Babe and Bud, come from their sheds leaning hard against the bows Of their timber sleds There will be work for all the horses too and overhead autogyros already circg to spot the worst of the tanges. Hgh-clmbers and triggers are not needed The tall white pines down but they must be bucked in hurry and got safely to water
 So the old spirit has come again to New England The scent of beans and johnnycake waits once more from the lumber camps. It might take Paul Bunyan himself a day so skid out four billion feet But these brawny lads in windbreakers think they can handle most of the stint before the bark beetles get | there.

Court Packing g'-Unanimously Approved
Philadelphia Record)

In the hyeterical fight President Roosevets Court plan the Tories repeatedly charged that the President would pack the Supreme Court with radicals and ncompetents.
 Prior to that time President Roosevelt had not appointed a single Justice Since then he has ap- pointed three
 The nation is in better position to know the caliber of the President Roosevelt had ln mind and the reaction of the Senate to those men.
 Naturally the Senate which killed the Court bill of its awed respect for the Court would refuse to confirm anyone it did not deem fit to sit on the Court.
 The first was Hugo L. Black, whose nomination attacked because of part of his record that had nothing whatever to do with the New Deal
 In spite of this. Black was confirmed 63 to 16
 Next came Stanley F. Reed New Deal champion who had represented the Administration before the Supreme Court in of the very cases where the Administrations defeat by the Court called forth the reorganization plan.
 Reed was unanimously confirmed by the Senate.
 This week the name of Felix Frankfurter was acted upon by the Senate Frankfurter is credited with authorship of of the most bitterly opposed New Deal legislation and with the training of several New Deal advisers who are most hated in the Tory camp.
 Frankfurter unanimously confirmed by the Senate
 So it appears that death and retirement placed answering those who questioned his motives and the ce''her of his prospective nominees when the Court fight on.
 Not of the three faced really serious test ir t''o Senate Two found not dissenting vote against shen,.
 4his is what court packing" turned out to be So it wasn't a revolution after all, it. Senators?

Horoscope The stars incline
 but do not compel"

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1889
 Mingled good and evil are dis cerned in the horoscope for today, according to astrology. The full Moon of this date falls in the sixth house and portents of labor troubles are read by the seers.
 Demands for higher wages may be expected in certain quarters and shipping may be affected by serious strikes. The Pacific coast is likely to be the chief battle-ground.
 Severe storms on the Atlantic may cripple shipping and disaster is forecast. Danger for battleships also is indicated by the stars
 There is a sign read as presaging a gradual change in the attitude of Mussolini to Hitler, The stars seem to indicate loss of prestige for the German dictator with improved world opinion for the head of the Italian government.
 Russia will be disturbed by inter- nal troubles, secret plots and sub versive machinations. Mysterious plans will cause apprehension where it is not justified.
 The year is to be marked by the contest of opposing political ideas, astrologers declare. While the de- mocracies desire security and peace the dictators will pursue their poli- cies of conquest
 Social affairs will be more bril- liant than in previous seasons and sumptuous dining will be general among the well to do.
 If a London astrologer is correct, the United States will grow in power and prosperity, but in it's good for tune lie many snares that may en- trap the nation in foreign conflicts.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of unexpected happenings that may bring good for tune. These subjects of Aquaritis should be unusually careful in. fin ancial matters this year, %E Children born on this day are usu- ally forceful and energetic They may be exceedingly sensitive and intuitive. Many artistic folk belong to this sign of Aquarius.
