Unionizing Foremen
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer
 Current attempt to unionize foremen in industrial plants throughout America of interest to the general public well to industry and labor For it is apparent to anyone who will consider the facts that such efforts if they fully successful will result in increased costs of consumer products These costs, naturally enough must be reayed to the buying public and will bring considerable advances in living prices
 For generations both management and labor have considered the foremen in the shop arrangements representative there It has been the duty of the foremen to to it that production levels main taned that the front office" received full value for wages paid Under the unionizaton program, agement contends that the foremen would to represent the employer and would give first loyalty to the union and the unions members.
 Heads of prosperous and efficient business con- cerns naturay feel that if unionzation becomes plete they must install other representatives in the shops and factory lines This it would be only fair and sensible since maintenance of production and production rules necessary to the life of any industrial But if management thus is forced to add new personnel to take part of the obligations carried by the foremen pay rolls tanly will be increased And with increased pay rolls come increased costs-which the consumer eventually must pay.
 It seems obviously unfair to business to ask it to sacrifice all representation factory lines-and that would not be unfair to management alone. America as whole would suffer-suffer through decreased production and increased prices.

tiring as associate justice and be- fore he was appointed Chief Jus tice, delivered a series of lectures on the Supreme Court before the Columbia Law School in which he described the efforts to get Justice Field off the bench.
 Tt occurred to other members of the Court" Hughes said, that Justice Field had served on a com mittee which waited upon Justice Grier to suggest his retirement, and it was thought that recalling this to Justice Fields memory might aid him to decide to retire.
 Justice John M Harlan was de- puted to make the suggestion. He went over to Justice Field, who was sitting alone on settee ap- parently oblivious to his surround ings, and after arousing him, asked if he did not recall how anxious the Court had become with respect to Justice Griers condition. Jus tice Harlan asked if Justice Field did not remember what had been said to Justice Grier on that oc- casion. The old man listened, grad ually became alert, and finally, his eyes blazing with the old fire of youth, burst out:
 "Yes and dirtier days work I never did in all my life"

rise of 17 per cent during the previous quarter Fuel and electricity prices in Fairbanks advanced 31 per cent the quarters when retailers who had been selling wood below ceilings raised their prices to the OPA ceilings. This increase more than offset a slight decrease in the price of fuel oil Fuel and cleo trcity costs 13 per cent in Fairbanks between September 1914 and September 1945, but declined 33 per cent in both Anchorage and Juneau during the period due mainly to drop in fuel oil prices.
 HousefurniShngs costs in Juneau advanced 4.3 per cent between mid-June and mid-September prices of brooms advanced and lower-priced curtains longer available Lower prices for dining furn ture and dinnerware accounted for drop of 15 per cent in the average cost of housefurnisngs in Anchor age A slight decline reported in the costs of housefurnishings in Fairbanks.
 Increased taxes whiskey and gasoline feced in rise of 02 per cent in the of miscel aneous goods and services in Anchorage and Fair banks The increase on these commodities in Juneau than offset by lower prices on sunamps. drugs, and plane and boat fares.
 Rents in Anchorage increased 09 per cent from March Is, 1945, (he date which rents were last previously surveyed) to September 15 1945 No change reported in the total bills for Fairbanks and Juneau during the same period.

According to a survey made by the U. s. Depart ment of Labors Bureau of Labor Statistics the fol- lowing changes took place in the prices of retail goods rents and services in Juneau, Anchorage and Fair banks:

 Food costs in Anchorage advanced 13 per cent be- tween mid-June and md-September due to essential increases in the price of eggs and fresh fruits and vegetables High egg prices also primarily sponsibe for increased costs of family food bills in Fairbanks and Juneau where food prices 03 per cent and 05 per cent respectively, during the same period.

ROW DURING GRANTS
 REGIME

Another bitter battle inside the Supreme Court took place during the Grant Administration over the Legal Tender Act Justice Robert C.. Grier, then senile, was induced by Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase to change his vote, thereby help ing to make the Legal Tender Act unconstitutional. This was a great embarrassment to the Republicans, who needed the Legal Tender Act to support their fiscal policies dur ing and after the Civil War. Re- publican members of the Court, therefore charged Chief Justice Chase, a Democrat. with deliber- ately influencing the Court major ity because ot his desire to run for President on the Democratic Tick ct.
 "The Chief Justice" charged Jus tice Samuel F. Miller, "resorted to all sorts of strategems of the low est trickery."
 Inner court feeling was so bitter that the minority wrote private memo, vigorously critical of the Chief Justice. It read in part:
 An attempt was made to con- vince an aged and infirm member of the Court (Justice Grier) that he had not understood the ques- tion on which he voted In a week from that day, every judge on the bench authorized a com mittee of their number to say to the judge who had reconsidered his vote that it was their unanimous opinion that he ought to resign.

HEART AND HOME

HEART AND HOME
 The stars warn all women against allowing negative emotions to dis turb their lives. Love produces con- cord. All opposites of love, such as jealousy and envy, produce discord and unhappiness.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Music stores and others dealing in photograph records probably will enjoy tremendous sales of records through the remainder of this year.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 A complete revision of labor long-term program is indicated Even the most patient pro-labor thinkers have seen the handwriting on the wall and know that public sentiment, which made possible la DOTS great progress during the Roosevelt Administration, has sour ed and will not soon again support the aggressive tactics of the past several months.
 IN ERNA1 IoNAL AT AAAeo
 AS time goes on, it will be seen that the present year marked the beginning of the decline of Com munism. The reaction has already set in. It will continue.
 Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: A year of new friendships and memor- able and pleasant emotional exper- fence.
 Children born today will have good minds and strong bodies. They will be adventurous, industrious and ambitious.

LINCOLN SPANKED CHIEF
 JUSTICE

Another period of near-civil- took place in the Court after the last war, when the nine justices were called upon to pass on the espionage cases. The Court was so split, that a committee, including Justices Wills Van Devanter and William R. Day called on Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes to ask that he not write one of his usual vigorous opinions.
 You know what my ideas of the law are and I will not change them" he replied. And for some months following this, the justices stopped speaking to each other.
 Probably the most vitriolic crit icism ever leveled against the Court by anyone in high places came from Abraham Lincoln, when Chief Justice Roger B. Fancy called upon the commanding officer at Ft. Mo Henry in Baltimore to relinquish a prisoner during the Civil War. This the commanding general re- fused to do.
 The judiciary machinery re- marked Lincoln at the time, seems as if it had been designed not to sustain the Government but to embarrass and betray it"

FEUD OVER JUSTICE FIELD

There was also the Court feud over Justice Stephen J. Field at the time the Supreme Court declar- ed the Income Tax Law unconsti- tutional in 1895 Field, then nearly 80 years old, led the attack against the income tax. Senile. and ire quently asleep in court, a com mittee of his colleagues suggested his retirement but he only flew in to a tantrum His vote against the income tax made it necessary to pass a constitutional amendment to make the income tax legal which took Is years. It was the only way Fields opposition could be overcome.
