Andrews FOresees Suffering
If F. L. S. A. Breaks Down

Denver (ILNS).-Wage- Hour Ad-
ministrator Andrews predicts deplor-
able conditions for 100000 workers
"if the enemies of labor" succeeded
in "emasculating the statute"
He outlined his beliefs in speaking
to the annual convention of the In
ternational Union of Mine, Mill and
Smelter Workers. He warned that if
such efforts were successful, condi-
tions would result wherein a laborer
would have to work for any wages,
however low, and put up with work
ing conditions, however intolerable,
rather than starve."
He said the "enemies of labor"
would continue attempts to disarm
provisions of the law by subtly advo-
eating amendments to Improve it,
and 'to make it work better"

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

soldiers show the strain of being
primed too often without the fulfill
ment of logical action. There is such
thing or condition as over-training.
Germany has heard the cry of wolf"
so often she is beginning to believe
the wolf may be only another joke of
Goebbels-just lamb in wolfskin or
in Russian bearskin.
Earl Baldwin, former Prime Min
lister of Great Britain, speaking be-
fore the Congress on Education for
Democracy in New York City, warned
all interested in the preservation of
democracy that "ideas were on the
wing" and that ideas may be a
greater peril to democracy than the
sword.
Such a statement from so eminent
an authority merits the deepest con-
sideration. The statement must, how
ever, be qualified. Otherwise, one
would be forced to conclude that
ideas are foreign and harmful to
democracy. We know that such a
conclusion is far from the truth.
Rather, the opposite is true. Ideas,
sound and reasonable, are our first
line of defense against the influence
of the ideas that would unseat de-
mocracy and brand it as the outmoded
tool of a capitalism that is living on
borrowed time.
The generality of Earl Baldwin's s
statement points to a weakness in
the status of democracy that has been
too long. neglected. We have been
so satisfied and proud of the initial
idea of democracy that we have given
no time or constructive thought to the
refreshening of democracy with new
and sustaining ideas. Democracy is
not creation that, once brought to
life, will live forever on the general
ing spark. Democracy must be fos-
tered, nourished and extended. 1t
cannot remain stationary. Unless it
advances, it must retreat and be lost.
Democracy must be recognized not as
good political theory practiced sat
isfactorily in some countries, but as
an essential and integral part of a
whole life, as the basis of freedom,
collective and individual and as the
prime mover of peace and security.

Our congressional gamblers"
should feel the happier on the latest
odds quoted for world peace-3 to l
for peace. So reports William Philip
Simms after "galluping" over there
among the men who should know.
The odds might hold more water if
they were directly quoted as of Hitler.
Whether we like it or not, and we
do not like it, European peace and
world security hinges, at the moment,
upon Herr Hitler. Indications of
reason and sensibility would point to-
ward peace. The setting of the in
ternational stage has changed since
Munich. The democracies seem to
have added little stiffening to their
collective backbones. Chamberlain's
"appeasement" has soured bit and
the umbrella has lost it's magic pow
ers. Poland's firm stand and brave
words from France and Britain to-
gether with Mussolini's hesitation
would reasonably add up to no war
yet awhile. But, unfortunately, Hit
Ter does not measure up to the ac
cepted standards of reason or sense.
The world breads the day when Hit
ler in a dyspeptic mood might send
the armies of the world marching into
chaos.
Germany now reveals her demands
upon Poland with hike in the initial
price. Those demands are the storm
signals for another attack of interna-
tional jitters. The German press is
already rolling along at top speed lay
ing down a verbal bombardment in
defense of her distorted national
honor. Troops are on the move along
the Polish frontiers. Italy has spoken.
II Duce will do his duty. All is run
ming true to form. The bloodlcss
conquest is on.
The question arises as to a crisis
saturation point being reached. Hit
ler has used the crisis attack so often
that it is losing it's punch. Sponges
have no monopoly on saturation. The
individual can stand only so much of
alarm. The same is true of nation
or body of nations. The point of
crisis saturation is being swiftly ap-
preached. The democratic alliances
are lapsing into wary watching. The
German people and the German

ACTORS DEFY A. F. |.
in UNION PEACE ROW

Atlantic City, N. j. (ILNS).-Pros-
poets of open union warfare in the
amusement industry looms increas-
ingly stronger as result of the re-
fusal of the Associated Actors and
Artistes Of America, the A. F. of L..
parent of actor unions, to accept in
full the recommendation of the ex-
ecutive council of the A. F. of L.
The Four AS row with the Inter-
national Association of Theatrical
Stage Employees, the Stagehands'
Union, which has drawn nationwide
attention, was precipitated by the
Stagehands' Union action in issuing a
charter to group of actors and ac-
tresses known as the American Fed
Grafton of Actors, a group which the
A. A. A. A. had previously expelled.
The recommendations Of the A. F.
Of L. executive council which were
only partially acceptable to the Four
AS, despite a warning from William
Green, president of the A. F. of L.,
that it would have to accept them in
full or the case would be reopened,
puts the entire argument right back
where it was when the executive coun-
Gil first considered it.

UP AT COLLEGE
J. c. Shows Big Increase Over
Last Year Despite Loss of
Embarrass Students.

Enrolment at the Ely Junior College
is lit students as compared with about
1874 at the same time year ago, ac-
cording to Dean Sigurd F. Olson. This
increase is caused by more local young
people taking advantage of the OPP
portunity offered by the college and not
by an influx of outside students, Dean
Olson reports.
An increase in the number of courses
offered, among them the business and
secretarial courses inaugurated last
year, are responsible for added interest
in the college, and the resultant in
crease in enrolment, Dean Olson be-
lieveS.
This years freshman enrolment
numbered 81 students out of a pos
sible lit who were graduated from high
school in the spring, or 70 per cent. A
few of the remaining % per cent went
directly to a university or college but
most of them did not enter any in
stitution of higher learning.
The total enrolment at the start OF
the present college year was 100 as OF
Oct. 1, but 10 or IL students from the
Embarrass territory dropped out when
the school board put into effect see
per quarter tuition fee. This action was
later rescinded, to become effective at
the start of the next term this fall.
In past years the college has had
from IL to Is outside students, most
of them having relatives here with
whom they reside and attracted here
! by its high educational standards and
the fact that it has no tuition fee. Ely
Is the only city in the state that has
