WASHINGTON, March 6. = The Smith of Virginia committee in- vestigating fumblings of the Ma tional Labor Relations Board is hot on the trail of so-called black lacking" by the government.
 The "blackjacking' is supposed to have been directed at business or ganizations to compel them to abide by the labor bargaining law
 But if the committee would cast a rowing eye about, it would find that Congress itself has been em- ploying the same equeeze-plays for several years with the general aim of boosting wages and reducing working hours.

 "Blackjacking" is probably a strong word to use in such busi- ness, but the idea is the same in all instances. The government may have an idea that a certain glove maker is paying too low wages, so when @ contract for gloves is to be let, the loW-wage glove-maker is automatically out of the bidding unless he agrees to pay prevailing wages in the making of the govern nent gloves.
 The result in some instances has been that workmen standing side by side draw two different scales of pay. The administrators of the law do not attempt to hide their hope that the result will be to force general adoption of the prevailing wages" by all indus tries
 As a matter of fact a somewhat modified system of governmental black lacking" of the states has been going on for half century, all in the cause of better educa- tion. And the states love it.
 The system has to do with \ the various grants in aid to the states for doing this and that. An nually the government puts up in excess of s30,O0o,OO0 for distribu- tion among the states for educa- ton in home economies, vocational training and rehabilitation. for farm experimentation.

 The major discovery of the com mittee was that the REC had agreed to hold up loans to em- ployers whose labor relations were under examination by the Labor Board.
 Yet, by specific action. Congress at various times has ruled that no business house or contractor can get government business unless he agrees in advance to guarantee prevailing wages and hours
 The Bacon-Davis Act requires prevailing wages and hours" in all government building con- tracts above $2,00O, while the Walsh -Healy Act does the same for government supply contracts valued above $10,000.

/ Lcgumcs Hold Key To Soil Fertility.
Legumes plus proper fertilization
hold the key to fertile, productive
| soils. The most practical method in
building up the productive power Of
soils calls for the proper growth ana
handling of suitable legume crops in
rotation with properly fertilized
major crops.
The mere growing Of legumes does
not assure added fertility unless these
crops are handled properly If the
! legu,ncS arc removed from the field,
! leaving on the land only the Stubble
and roots. their use in this manner
alone will prove delusion so far as
being an effective means of increas-
ing the producing power OF the soil
in a permanent way is concerned.
Effective methods of increasing the
fertility of soils must be those that
will leave the soil at the end of each
year fairly we'll supplied with thor
ouehly decomposed organic matter
and an increasing amount of readily
available plant foods. This will be
the effect which the proper growth
and handling of legumes will have
on the land.
Anyone at all familiar with the
simple principles of soil management
knows that fertility cannot be main
tanned when the crops removed take
off the land more plant foods than
are returned to it. That's why it's so
important 10 turn under some Of the
