They are to be a part of a spe- cial signal corps detachment chosen to make use of an Indian language for code purposes in communication. The Comanche language was chosen because it is little known and difficult to learn. Indians from other tribes may also be used in this work. During the World War an in- stance was reported in which front line artillery unit, having experienced great difficulty in preventing the enemy from in tercepting and decoding US mes sages, hit upon the idea of using two Indians as telephone opera tors.

Mr.. Lewis himself should have de-
voted some time to that study some
time back.
If we wonder whatever became of
John l.. Lewis, we might also wonder
whatever also became of some of the
thunder birds who f1ocked around with
him while he was huffing and putting
and making the big wind blow.
It's just as we'll, perhaps, not to
name any of them by name at this
moment, because maybe they'd just as
soon be forgotten.
But time will pass and-maybe-
who knows-some of them will send
back an echo.
However, for the time being, in this
strange quiet after the big blow, where
have they gone?
One thing is that they've all gone
off the front pages.
In this strangest of all possible
worlds we should be accustomed to
strange manifestations, but the fact
remains that as each new one comes
along we open our mouths wide,

of surprise.

STILL FAR TO GO

American labor is still far from its
goal of adequate food, clothing and
homes for all, the American Fedora
tion of Labor reminds the nation in it's
current Labor's Monthly Survey, the
new name of the Federation's Monthly
Survey of Business.
Thousands of workers are still liv-
ing below the minimum necessary to
support family in decency; our coun-
try's first defense need is strong
healthy citizens" the federation de-
clares, citing findings by authoritative
organizations to show that minimum
subsistence budget for family of four
today costs s1,354, while minimum
health and efficiency budget for fam
lily of five costs $2,056.
The federation goes on to point out
that as the cost of living increases,
wage gains will be necessary to main
tain living standards. 1t emphasizes
that the outlook for profits and pro-
duction this year Clearly shows that
industry will be able to lift the stand
ards of low-paid workers"
But will industry increase pay, as
undoubtedly it is in a position to do /?
That depends largely on organizations
of labor. In strongly unionized indus
tries, wages will be increased In in
dustries not well organized, increases
will be slow in coming. All of which,
of course, emphasizes the need of con-
tinued growth of union labor under the
American Federation of Labor banner.

N. Y. Minimum Wage Law
Is Ruled Unconstitutional
Higher Benefits Recommended

New York, N. Y.-The Bronx Spe-
cial Sessions Court in a two-to-o one
decision declared the New York State
minimum wage law for women and
minors, covering $4,000 women and
boys in six industries, unconstitu-
tional.
The law, passed by the State Leg
islature in 1887, empowers the Divi-
sion of Women and Industry and Min
imum Wage of the State Department
of Labor to fix minimums for women
and minors in specific industries after
making required surveys and holding
hearings open to employers, employees
and the public, with penalties for vio-
lation of the wage rates.
The majority opinion held that the
law represented "an unlawful delega-
tion of power to the Industrial Com
missioner to decide what is and what
is not violation, and what is crime
and what is not crime"
