insisted its members were standing for Cuspis Pansa. If Vesuvius had post poned its eruption for a few days, history might have told us the result of this contest.
 One of the most interesting of MT. Frey's exhibits is an agreement en- tered into between the Building Trades of Sardis, in Asia Minor, and the Roman ruler of that city. This was ratified in A. D. 459, and was considered of such importance that its terms were chiseled on "a gray marble slab." That is why we are now able to determine very accurately what it was all about
 When Laws We're ''Tough''
 MT. Frey goes down through the Middle Ages. He tells us how that curious word 'journeyman" origi- mated. Eventually he comes to Britain and the United States.
 Tn England at one time, under the so-called Conspiracy Statutes, work men found guilty of collective activ- ity with fellow workmen were brand ed with hot irons. Some had their noses slit. In other cases the workers noses were cut off one or both ears amputated, and many workers were 
 That sounds pretty awful, but it was quite as bad in the American colonies prior to the Revolution. In Massachusetts, when craftsmen sought higher wages, the employers, who were in control of the government expressed their "dismay" and de- clared that such goings-on contribut- ed to "the dishonor of God, the scan da1 of the Scriptures and the grief of divers of Gods people"
 Expressive measures were effective for time, but soon labor resumed its forward march.
 It is a fascinating story, and MT. Frey tells it simply and factually.

O., N.C.) has parked that his House ways and means committee won't take orders from the Treasury" With Gardner in as undersecretary, there will be perfect agreement be- tween them.
 The appointment and confirmation of Gardner will give Wall Street a per feet setup in the Congress of the U. s. A North Carolina team will be playing on its side:
 In the House there is Bob DOughtOn on the all-pOwerful ways and means committee. Over on the Senate side there is old Sen. Josiah Bailey CD. N.C.), heading up the Senate commerce committee, and another close pal of Cardner's, Sen. Walter F. George CD. Ca.) as chair man of the finance committee.
 Financial and tax matters de manded by Wall Street are not like ly to be pushed around with the Tar Heel boys handling the helm on Capital Hill and over in the Treasury itself.

John Frey Shows That Centuries Before Christ Was Born Workers United for Mutual Protection Modern Examples

 Few men can put English together more attractively than this gentleman, who, when other lads were receiving their formal education, was moving around the country-a boomer" me chanic, sowing the seeds of trade un- ionism
 Recently, while convalescing from troublesome illness, MT. Frey per formed task he had had in mind for years. He wrote little volume en- titled Graft Unions of Ancient and Modern Times" Anyone can read it in an evening.
 Building Solomon's Temple
 Ancient chroniclers, MT. Frey sagely observes, were not Interested in the activities of the workers. "They chose the wealthy or the dictators as the subject of their writings, many being sycophants who catered to the vanity of some powerful individual"
 Nevertheless, the skilled craftsmen of those days left their footprints on the sands of time," and many of those footprints" are still legible.
 A thousand years before Our Lord was born in Bethlehem, Solomon planned temple in Jerusalem. His own people were warriors, hunters, agriculturists. They were not capable of building the beautiful structure Solomon had in mind, so he brought in the Phoenicians and unquestionably did some effective collective bargain ing with them. Under Hiram's direc- tion, they built the temple.
 Unions In Rome and Greece
 It was not until about 700 B. C. that Mir, Frey discovered evidence that labor unions were really functioning.
 About that time Numa Pomilius, first king of Rome, and Solon, great est of Greek lawmakers, gave craft unions legal status.

 MRRCANsC MAN


 With remarkable lack of fam fare and absence of the type of publicity that has accompanied some of his other nominations, Pres. Harry s. Truman this week gave the Senate the name of O. Max Gardner to be undersecretary of the treasury.
 Gardner is very likely to be speedily confirmed. He has been most careful to be seen with only the best people and to move in the right circles. He is a former gov ernOr of North Carolina and a Tru- man Democrat since I944.
 Truman told his press conference he was going to insist on the nomina- ton of Gilman Edwin w. Pauley as undersecretary of the navy. He com mented that when he gets back of a man he usually stays back of him.
 That means Truman will stay back of Gardner, to whom he owes big ger political debt than he does to the Californian. That also brought us to remark that if the President showed as much fight for what he says in his legislative program, we'd be consid- erably further along on the 65c mini mum wage bill, polltax repeal, com pulsory health insurance, FEPC and lot of other measures.
 But that is getting away from Gardner. And Gardner needs some attention that he'll surely not get in the daily press and radio ac- counts given the general public.
 Gardner is a professional lobby ist for the Morgan interests of Wall Street. He helped organize the re- actionary Cotton Textile Institute, is Washington representative for the Rayon Institute as well as for some distillers and other interests.
 Before the Democratic national convention in Chicago in 1914, the elder statesman among the North Carolina Democrats, Josephus Daniels, was whooping it up for Henry A. Wallace for vice-president on the FDR ticket. It was widely reported that North Carolina's votes would go to Wallace from the beginning.
 Then something happened. Gov. !. Melville Broughton overnight became a "favorite son." and the delegation from North Carolina cast its 26 votes, by instruction, for the governor. They stayed with Brought through the cru cial first two rollcalls and thereby Gardner won the backing of Harry S. Truman. That backing is paying off now with the nomination to the under secretaryship.
 None of this damns Gardner too much until it is shown that he has some connections that give mean ing to his work. For instance: Gardner is one of the lobbyists who helped put his old friends, John W. Hanes, former undersecretary of the treasury, on the Securities & Exchange Commission. Hanes is Hearst's financial wizard, chairman of the finance committee of the Hearst Corp. and American News papers Inc. His father is the own CT of the famed underwear firm bearing his name. Hanes is a North Carolinian, as is Gardner and a leading Republican figure in the world of finance.
 A brother of Hanes, Robert w. Hanes, is chairman of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce's finance con- nittee and ex-president of the Ameri- can Bankers Assn. Gardner is a brother-in-law of Sen. Clyde Hoey O., N.C.), another former governor of that state and long chief counsel for the Duke tobacco interests. For long period, Rep. Robert Dougton
