Some Hoosiers were in town
last week coming to work at the
Newark Stove company for
few days, and | got acquainted
with one of them by the name of
Johnston who was born in North
Dakota and who should have been
a Swede, but he wasn't. He was
an Irishman. Anyway that's close
to the place where | was raised,
and | was a derelict too in that
country--being mostly French.
We got to talking about the
"wobblies" |. w. WIS or the
II Won't Work" trainriders of
the first World War days on
whom the farmers in the Dakotas
had to depend to get their So
wheat harvested. | found out he
had shocked grain, pitched bun
dies and drove an onery team of
mules even as | had in those days
and how we picked up a few
"cooties" American brand, by
sleeping in so many different
shacks. 1t really was like old
times which brings me to a con-
versation a couple of months or
more ago when Harold Pierce,
Rep. Paul Green and Del Blake
ly, were present, and | told them
about making the harvest" in
those days from Kansas to the
Canadian line and how we got
eight bucks a day and worked
from daylight to dark, and "shot
craps" under the tank wagon be-
tween loads, and how those Nor
wegians, Russians and Swedes,
fed the threshing crew five times
a day, and how we really pitch
ed bundles. Now us fellows can't
ever get together anymore but
what Pm accused of being an
expert at "bundling"-and from
what | hear Of the modern defin-
ition of the word | don't think
Pm so hot-for reason Pm get
ting too darn old and that new
sport is mostly taken up by the
high school kids who are quite
adept.
Men are getting it in the neck
again with a recent order of the
WPB to limit length of collar
points on shirts. Not only that
but the tails will be shorter. Ex-
cept that politicians who have
been credited in the past with
riding into office on someone's
shirt tail will have to ride on
their own merits now. And may
be that's a good thing, too.
Robert Evans who is a coun-
Gilman and associated with the
May-Fiebeger plant in West
Newark was called out of bed in
the ''wee" hours of the morn
ing one day last week and told
hurriedly over the telephone that
the plant was on fire. Bob Slip
ped his pants on over his pa
jamas and made haste to the
scene, wondering all the while if
he would have a place to work
the next day. When he got there
the fire was out and there was
about two inches of water all
over the floor. The automatic
sprinkler system had performed
it's task. The water was more
Inconvenience than the fire as it
had to be cleaned out before
work started the next morning.
The question might be raised as
to which is the worst-flood or
fire.

tion's Agricultural Adjustment Act

minimum wages for women.
In his AAA dissent. he said that
while unconstitutional exercise Of
power by the executive and legisla-
tive branches Of the Government is
subject to judicial restraint, the
only check on our own exercise of
power is our own sense of self
restraint"
In the other dissent he said it was
difficult to imagine any grounds"
for the majority opinion "other than
our own personal economic predilec-
tions."
Before his Supreme Court service
Chief Justice Stone had spent only
IL months in public ofice-as At
torney General in the Coolidge ad-
ministration. Previously he had
been dean of the Columbia Univer-
sity Law School and had practiced
law in New York.
So far as age is concerned he still
has long way to 60 before ap-
preaching any records.

far as litigation brought before the
tribunal was concerned.
Usually Among Majority Now.
Usually, the Chief Justice now
votes with the majority; but he does
not hesitate to dissent from opin-
ions he finds Objectionable even
though he is alone in his views.
For instance, on June 30, 1910,
he delivered a lone dissent to a
majority opinion holding that chill
dren could be required to salute
the American flag at school exer-
cises. Since then. three other JUS
tices-Black, Douglas and Murphy
have said they now would vote
with the Chief Justice if the same
question were before the tribunal
again.
Last March the Chief Justice
delivered a lone dissent to a ma
jority decision holding that a labor
union could not be prosecuted under
the 1894 Federal Anti-Racketeering
Act for using alleged "strong-arm"
methods to make employers hire
union members.

elected two captains to head their
two fire brigades. The boys have
been schooled in putting out in
cendiaries and according to Chief
A. J. Bargagni, head of the Bethesda
Fire Department, their attention to
duty is often better than adults.
Evacuation Drills Held.
Another group has been organized
into an assembly room readiness
company" entrusted with the job of
seeing that the pupils reach the
basement shelter. The school al
ready has held evacuation drills,
with designated groups filing to
nearby homes. During air-raid drills,
Mrs. Bricker explained yesterday,
the children gather in the base
ment assembly room or the cafe
terra adjoining. There they lie un-
der tables with hands over ears un-
til a release signal is given.
Capt. Parsons, who has daugh-
ter attending Somerset, explained
that parents met soon after the
Pearl Harbor attack to devise means
of protecting the school. After
talks with Army people and British
officials here who had gone through
raids, the group made up its mind
on what 1t needed for the job ahead.

American pioneer spirit is dead, he
might drop by Somerset school

ILombHke Debut
IOf March to End
In Snow Toniqht

March, the month of the vernal
equinox, came in quietly yesterday
with talk of spring and fishing while
the forecasters studied the skies for
signs of stormy winter weather
which so far has failed to make its
appearance.
The lambike demeanor OF the
new month may end tonight, say
the weather men, with either rain
or snow during the early evening.
Yesterdays talk of fishing was
started by sight of a few anglers
who wet their hooks in the hope
of snagging some Of the mud shad"
now running up the Potomac. The
run is reported to be light,
Park police, meanwhile, have
turned their attention to would-be
anglers along the Tidal Basin. Reg
ulations do not permit fishing there
until after May 30.
Another harbinger OF spring was
uncovered yesterday by members Of
the Capital Hiking Club who
stopped near Great Falls to exam
inc blooming plants Of skunk cab
bage. The unpleasant odor of this
earliest of spring plants is unmis-
taxable, say those who have come
in contact with it, and is a sure
sign that the seasonal turn Is near.

Builders, Government housing Off
cials and representatives of labor
tomorrow will attend Labor De-
partment hearing to determine pre-
vailing wage rates for residential
building in Washington and nearby
areas for application to the Gov
ernment's huge defense housing pro-
gram.
The hearing, scheduled for 10
am. in Room 3139 of the Labor De-
partment Building, will be the first
ever held by the department under
the Bacon-Davis Act as regards pre-
vailing wages for residential con-
struction in the District.
Ben Grodsky, attache of the labor
solicitors Office, who will conduct
the inquiry, has invited private
builders and representative asso-
Citations to attend and submit data.
The hearing is considered of vital
importance to private builders, as
well as to the Government housing
program. In the past, the Labor
Department has determined, without
hearings, that the high union or "A'
scale should apply in the District for
Government housing. At the same
time 1t has set q much lower non-
union scale for private projects
financed through the Federal Hous-
ing Administration. Both wage rates
are held to be prevailing.
The Bacon-Davis Act provides for
payment on Government work the
wage found to be prevailing in a
community for projects of a similar
character to the contract work.
