1910, favorable reports had been OBJ

He spoke of the appeals, used with
unanswerable logic" but added that
for success, it is necessary to bring
stronger pressure upon Congress
than appeals to logic, justice and
patriotism" He urged that "con-
tinuous pressure be directed on the
folks back home" in order to awaken
the interest of Senators and Repre-
sentatives.
1T is only through such methods
that they will be induced to open
their ears and tune in as 1t were,

Chilean Here to Work on Star

Santiago Journalist
Wears Medals of
Bolivia and Belgium

Manuel Vega, the Chilean journal
list, who on Monday is joining the
staff OF The Evening Star for two
months, has received recognition
for his talents by the award of two
governmental decorations. One of
them, he disclosed in casual con-
versation this morning, came from
Bolivia, the Order Of Condor de los
Andes.
Then he received a Belgian decora-
tion. But" he said, Il don't re-
member the name" Whatever it
Is, 1t was an expression of Belgian
gratitude for some articles he wrote
before the outbreak of the war on
King Leopold and on the late King
Albert.
Mr.. Vega is literary editor of El
Diario IluStrado, the leading morn
ing paper in Santiago, the Chilean
capital. He was one of the seven
chosen for the purpose conceived
by Ambassador Bowers, of improv-
ing Chilean knowledge of this coun-
try by arranging to have the jour-
nalists work In the United States
for a brief period.
Father Was Diplomat.
For Mr.. Vega this marks the first
trip to the United States-indeed,
the first trip away from South
America, although his father, Man
uel Vega, diplomat, was charge
daffaires of the Chilean Embassy
here in 1905.
The visitor is widely known
throughout South America. Before
he was a journalist, he was an
official of the Chilean Ministry of
Foreign Affairs from 1919 to 1927.
He began to write for Ell Diario
1lustrado in 1925. He wrote critical
articles on books, especially French
books, which are popular in Chile.
There almost all educated persons
speak French.
The visitor to The Star has also
read some books published in Eng
lish, either in England or in the
United States. He read the two
books of John Gunther, Inside
Europe" and Inside Asia" Mr..
Gunther is now inside South Amer
lea. He has read also a number

Mr.. Vegas travels have taken
him to Buenos Aires, Bogota and
Lima, three of the most important
South American cities.
He went to BuenoS Aires, the Ar

continue to urge ratification of
proposed constitutional amendment
against the practice, inasmuch as 1t
contends that three-fourths of child
labor is engaged in intrastate COM
merce. Twenty eight OF the neces-
sary 36 States have ratified the
amendment.
Justice Stone, who delivered the
wage-hour decision, said Congress
had adopted the policy of exclud-
ing from interstate commerce all
goods produced for the commerce
which do not conform to the Specl-
fled labor standards"
Congress, Justice Stone added,

adapted to the attainment of the
permitted end, even though they in

The Wage-Hour Act, passed by
Congress in 1888, now provides a

Higher Minimum Wages.
Under another section of the law,
orders have been issued setting
higher minimum wages for several
industries, following the recon-
mendatiOnS of committees named to
represent the employers, employees
and the public.
The act also prohibits employment
of children under l6 in a mining or
manufacturing occupation and un-
der l8 in an industry declared to be
hazardous. Limited employment of
children IA or IS is permitted in cer-
tain other industries.

implied repeal of the whole of the
earlier statute as applied to conduct
of the sort here involved. I venture
to say that no court has ever under
taken so radically to legislate where
Congress has refused to do so.
The construction of the act now
adopted is the more clearly inad-
missable when we remember that
the scope of proposed amendments
and repealS of the antitrust laws
in respect of labor organizations
has been the subject of constant
controversy and consideration in
Congress. In the light of this his
tory, to attribute to Congress an
intent to repeal legislation which
has had a definite and well-umder-
stood scope and effect for decades
past, by resurrecting rejected con-
struction of the Clayton Act and
extending a policy strictly limited
by the Congress itself in the Norris
La Guardia Act, seems to me a
usurpation by the courts of the
functions of the Congress, not only
novel but fraught as we'll with the
most serious dangers to our con-
stitutional system of division of
powers"
Justice Stone concurred in the
majority findings, but he also took
exception to the basis for the de-
cision, saying it lis not free from
doubt" Justice Stone said that he
believed the indictment fails to
charge an offenSe under the Sher-
man Act as it has been interpreted
and applied by this court" and
that therefore the charge against
the union heads could not stand.
The indictment, returned in 1899,
named Mr.. Hutcheson, George c.
Ottens, John A Callahan and Jo-
Seph A Klein. 1t alleged that the
carpenters broke an agreement pro-
viding for a division of work with
the machinists at the Anheuser-
Busch plant, and then struck to
enforce their claims to the work.
Brought into the strike were three
other concerns with which An
heuSer-BuSch had business connec-
tionS.
In restraining the labor leaders
demurrer to the indictment, the
District Court contended that the
acts complained of by the Govern
ment were only incidental re-
straints of commerce and conse-
quently not covered by the Sherman
Act.
Thurman Arnold, head of the
Antitrust Division of the Justice
Department, who has fought to
crush juriSdictional strikes on the
ground that they operate to handi-
cap building and raise costs, argued
this case in the Supreme Court, de-
claring that powerful unions used
this weapon unfairly to crush
weaker rivals.
The jurisdictional strike is not a
means of protection against a COM
bination of militant and powerful
employers. Instead, it is a weapon
in the hands of militant and power
full employees against labor ITSELF"
he said.
