War Labor Board Powers

The War Labor Board is adopting
a reasonable course, and one that
no doubt conforms to the intent Of
Congress, in holding that the Con-
nally-Smith War Disputes Act per-
mits the industry and labor members
of it's commissions and panels to
function as usual in adjudicating
board cases.
These units. which have original
jurisdiction under certain circum-
stances. are of the same tri-partite
character as the board, with men,
berShip drawn from industry, labor
and the public. The question of
their continued exercise of authority
was raised by a section of the new
antistrike law which provides that
mo member of the board shah be
permitted to participate in any de-
cision in which such member has a
direct interest as an officer, employe
or representative of either party in
the dispute" Pending a decision by
the board, the authority of ive COM

missions and two panels was sus-
pended. With the exception of the
Shipbuilding Commission, where a
ruling still is held up, all. have had
their powers restored by the boards
determination.
In substance, the boards decision
is that the units may function in any
case in which their members are not
Immediately concerned. For ex-
ample, as it is pointed out an Amer
lean Federation of Labor or CIO
member legitimately could sit on a
case involving. an affiliate of those
organizations with which he had no
direct connection. Correspondingly
an industry member identified with
the National Association of Manu-
facturers or Chamber Of Commerce
of the United States would not be
barred from participating in a case
involving an employer simply be-
cause the latter was a member of
either. To interpret the law other
wise would be wholly inconsistent"
with its purpose, the board says,
noting in this connection that in
the eighteen months of its existence,
it's actions have never been chal-
lenged in single case on the ground
Of personal interest of the members.
The broad principle on which the
board stands is that in the Connally-
Smith Act, Congress intended to
take the board as it was, to accept
and confirm it's tri-partite character,
to strengthen its already existing au-
thority to add to its powers" When
it is recalled that the act gave the
board statutory authority, that is a
sound argument.

AFTER THE FIRE STILL SMALL VOICE.
By the REV. CHARLES T. WARNER, D. D..
Rector OF St Adams Protestant Episcopal Church.

One of the outstanding, most pic
turesque and sternest prophets of the
Old Testament was Elijah. In the Incl
dent in which the words quoted above
occurred Elijah had fed into the mount
and hidden from the wrath of a wicked,
heathen king and queen. One day,
creeping out of his hiding place, he is
the witness OF strange event breaking
the silence of the wilderness. A storm.
the like of which he never had seen be-
fore. breaks forth and we read that a
great and strong wind rent the mountain
as Elijah stood in the mouth of his cave.
He was awed with the magnifcence of
God, yet he was comfortless because
God was not in the wind. Then that
solid mountain began to vibrate When
the shock was over, Elijah still was
comfortless. God was not in the earth
quake. Next mighty fire leaped forth
as If the whole heavens would be con-
sumed. When 1t was over, Elijah still
had that coldness of spirit. God was
not in the fire. However, after the fire

What was the effect of all this upon

Our Swollen Population

There is an official answer now
from the Census Bureau to the queS-
ton SO many people have been ask
ton?" Preliminary estimates Of the
bureau on the civilian population for
March put the figure at 839013. an
increase Of 180,995 since the last
decennial census in 1910. This fig
ure indicates that perhaps Washing
ton has suffered its worst growing
pains, for it reveals an increase of
only 17,714 since May of last year.
If the new estimate, to be revised
at later date on the basis of sup
Elementary data which are not yet
available" comes as any surprise, it
is because the estimate is not more
generous one. Last September the
Board of Trade calculated the popu-
iation at $4,000. while the National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion placed it at $4,000 around the
first Of October.
Barring any radical increase in
population before the end of the war,
the next question is just how big the
city will be in the postwar period,
The answer is important to business
men and to city and Federal plan
ners, for it involves the prospects
for postwar business and the prob
able need for schools. highway and
other public works.
Experience after the last war was
that of steady increase in popula-
ton, despite drop in the number of
Federal employees. In the report last
week of the Conference on Postwar
Readjustment of Civilian and Mill
tary Personnel, sponsored by the
former National Resources Planning
Board, the exodus of Federal en-
ployes at the end Of the last war is
described as stampede The word
stampede seems a bit strong. Ac-
tually Civil Service figures indicate
that the number of Federal employees
in Washington dropped only from

the following year there were 90,559,
a decrease Of about % per cent in
twenty-one months. Even if SINH
lar stampede took place after this
war, Washington still would have
somewhere around 21500O Govern
ment workers, considerably more
than the 133,823 it had in June, 1910.
before the war.
In any event, aside from academic
fiddling with statistics. John Nolen,
chief planner of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission, be-
lieves that Washington will be
growing community for a long time
after the war. He believes, too, that
an expansion in service trades, now
feeling the pinch Of manpoWer
shortages, will help take up the slack
in Federal employment. Under any
conditions, however, slack will be
welcome

Music Comes Hiqh

BY waving his magic wand, Presi-
dent James c. Petrillo of the Ameri-
can Federation of Musicians seems
to be able to stop or start almost
anything he wants to stop or start in
the field of music. But he has set
many people to figuring over how he
proposes to carry out his plan Of pro-
viding some $40 free concerts by the
Nations leading orcheStraS for the
smaller communities lacking oppor
tunity to hear good music. If he can
do it, fine! But when he talks about
donating 000-"double that if
found necesSary'-for $40 concerts
by the orchestras he listed, he is not
talking the language Of the orchestra
manager who has to meet an orches-
ira payroll.
The operating expenditure for the
New York Philharmonic for a season
sofs 129 concerts will run close to
100000 The Boston Symphony
most expensive in the country, runs
higher by perhaps 100000. The
Minneapolis Orchestra pays out more
than S250,000 for about seventy-tWo
concerts. In recent years our own
National Symphony OrcheStra'S op-
Grating expenses were about $17500
for seventy eight concerts. SO it
goes. Operating costs for thirteen of
the Nations leading symphony Or
chestras-including all but four of
those listed by Mr.. Petrillo for his
concert tours-for 1924 concerts
given in one recent season totaled
S3,870,000, and their operating def
> ,-eits after sale of tickets and all other
revenue-including the recordings,
which Mr.. Petrillo has banned
exceeded $l,590,000.
At these rates, which are perhaps
typical, $40 concerts by these thirteen
orchestras would cost in the neigh
borfood of 2,0000O0-four times
what Mr.. Petrillo was ready to pay
''if found necessary" This is not
looking gift horse in the mouth,
for II Mr., Petrillo can do something
to bring more good music to the
American people, he should be
thanked for 1t. But If he does it at

Augury for Peace
From the New York Times

From the New York Times.
The submarine is Hitlers ultimate
weapon. The tank was overpoWered
by artillery. The bomber was defeated
by more bombers, above all by an incom-
parable capacity on our side to multiply
bombers. There remained the power of
the wolf packs Of the deep to cut our
ocean-borne supply lines and sink our
ships and cargoes faster than we could
replace them. This was so formidable a
danger that the news that we have sunk
forty German submarines in May and
June, that ship losses in June were the
lowest since the outbreak of the war, and
construction from seven TO ten times as
great as losses, represt nts victory for
the Allies and a defeat for the enemy
as significant as any of the great reversals
that mark the course of the war. 1t
means that we are overpowerlng the AXIS
as conclusively under the sea as In the
air. 1t means that the lines of Allied
communication are at least becoming
safe. This, as Mr.. Churchill was quick

spoken in that still small voice which
man calls conscience"
And what does this voice speaking to
us mean? 1t is to bring us into spiritual
contact with God. AT all times we are
surrounded by His presence There is
no hiding place in the universe that
Gods eye does not penetrate. The old
Psalmist wrote: Whittier shall ! go
then? If ascend up into heaven, Thou
are there, If l make my bed in He'll,
Thou art there also. If I take the wings
of the morning and remain in the utter
most parts of the sea, even there also
shall Thy hand lead me-
But the great trouble is that we do
not realize this, though we ought to-
Yet, if our sensibilities are not blasted.
If our conscience is not scared, we must
feel God touching us all. In sick
ness, in bereavement, in these war days,
when the bloody heel of death treads
down humanity, we think of God, and at
such times do we not see the majesty of
God2
We believe even in such times as
ours. God does come near to us when
that still small voice speaks to us We
see God in the majesty of nature and as
Elijah saw Him in that storm: but by
His spirit, He is within u.s. His hand is
on our thoughts, He turns our affections
into new channels and our hearts beat
with new life.
Yes, that still small voice, if only we
will, leads us to greater faith in the
God Of heaven and earth, who breathes
pardon. peace, blessing and comfort into
our souls.

union scales, and under the condi-
tions which must be met by any
other symphony orchestra manage
ment, it is going to cost him more
than the half million dollars he said
he was ready to spend. For Mr..

as we'll as for war. for he is not exagger-
