New Line of Attack

At first blush, reading william Green's
latest attack on Senator Taft, one might think
that the weather in Atlanta has been unseason-
ably hot But this probably is not the case.
For Mr.. Green, when on the subject of the Ohio
Senator and the labor law bearing his name,
has always tended to indulge in truly remark
able extravaganza of language.
The American Federation of Labor president
scared to spectacular heights with his "save
labor" attack on the Taft Hartley Act To hear
Mr. Green tell it. the working man was reduced
to peonage by that statute. He had become no
better than an economic slave, and it would not
be long before both the worker and his union
would be despoiled and ruined by Senator Taft's
iniquitous brain child.
AS time went on, however and as none of
the dire prophecies were fulfilled, that line Of
attack began to wear pretty thin. And in the
Ohio senatorial campaign, when all the changes
were rung against Senator Taft, 1t proved to
be dismal fiop So Mr. Green now is attacking
on another front.

Minimum Wage 'Mockery'

Anent the front-page article August
10, Families Do Live on Less Than
$4,000 a Year, But, It's Not Easy:
For a long time have wanted to
vent my spleen" against employers who
pay poverty wages, but have been held
back by the thought What good would
it do?"
Still skeptical after reading the article,
cannot help continuing to wonder.
What good will it do?"
It is not right to assume that the
situation is hopeless. SO let us pray that
something will be done. Keener minds
than mine have tackled the imitation
problem in its overall state, and We are
still confused. Many cry Don't raise
wages-it will make for infiation!" Yet
prices continue soaring upward almost
unchecked.
Seventy five cents per hour as mimi
mum wage is mockery of unparalleled
magnitude. Even one dollar per hour
is absolutely not enough to live on.
Congress should pass decent mini
mum wage law applicable to every busi-
ness, not just those engaged in inter-
state commerce.

Unfair to Trucks?

There have been a number of letters
and at least one editorial recently, all
on banning truck trafic on Shirley
highway. However, no one offers any
really sound reason as to why trucks
should be banned. The whole theme
is that the trucks are q nuisance and
should be kept on this and other high
ways simply because they exist as such.
Shirley highway, of course, was built
primarily for truck trafiic, with the
Federal Government and the Virginia
State Highway Department co-operat-
ing in its design and construction. The
amount of vital. essential freight car
ried north and south by truck is inn
portant in our daily economy. Any
attempt to hinder or slow down this
freight is not result of clear thinking.
You have spoken Of the heavy pas
senger traffic over this highway, es-
pecially in rush hours. You should
remember the following points: First,
that this highway was designed with
this heavy volume Of traffic in mind.
Second, most of this traffic is confined
to few hours morning and evening,
whereas truck traffic is fairly well dis
tributed during the day and night.
Third, the great bulk of the local traffic
uses less than half of the total length
Of the highway.
BY using Shirley highway in place
OF Route /. it is possible for each truck
to save time in each direction. The
better driving conditions result in a
substantial saving in gasoline, oil, tires
and maintenance for the truck opera
tor. There is absolutely no sound eco
nomic reason why trucks should be
barred from this road.
The accident rate among truck opera
tors is way below the rate for auto
mobiles. This record is no accident. It
comes about from constant safety
campaigns. proper driver training.
careful maintenance of vehicles. cease
less supervision by State and Federal
authorities and in dozens of other ways.
May I, in all seriousness. suggest a
plan to bar automobiles from this road.

Home Rule Bill
Bernard p. Byrne.

The writer of the letter signed "Con-
temptation" August 18, brings out again
the old charge that home rule for the
District would be unconstitutional. He
tries to ridicule implied powers of Con-
gress to delegate municipal powers of
legislation" with the claim that the
language Of the Constitution shows an
explicit intent to cut of such powers"
Anybody who holds such views should
contemplate" that the United States
Supreme Court has consistently dis
agreed with him. In the case of Welch
VS.. Cook in 1878, the court said in refer
ence to the Districts territorial" gov
ernment Of the 1870s: "It is not open to
reasonable doubt that Congress had
power to invest, and did invest, the Dis
trict government with legislative au-
thority." In Stoutenburgh VS.. Hennick
in 1889, the court mentioned the often
cited general rule against delegation of
legislative power, and then said "the
creation Of municipalities exercising
local self-government has never, been
held to trench upon that rule"
Moreover. it is amply established, by
statements and by congressional acts
when trainers Of the Constitution were
still alive. that the exclusive legislation.
clause was simply to exclude State con-
troll from the area ceded for the Capital,
and that one of the powers thus trans
ferred from the State to Congress is
that to give the people Of the ceded area
at least as full powers Of local self
government as States customarily give
to their own cities or other local gov
ernment units. If other cities value such
self-government subordinate to State
governments in which they are also rep
resented, how. much more should WASH
~ington welcome it when the alternative
is the present more direct control by a
national government in which fpending
hoped-for success in the long process of
constitutional amendment) we are not
yet represented?
For those who (unlike Mr.. ConJem-
plation) conflne their charge to the more
arguable claim that some powers granted
In some home-rule bills go beyond "mu-
nicipal' scope, it may be noted that
that term in law is not necessarily
limited to its more usual and popular
meaning Of strictly town or city func-
tions. This is well illustrated by the
intent OF, Congress in the act of 1871,
which set up the District as "a body
corporate for municipal purposes" and
conferred on 1t broad powers such as
territorial governments have. Lower
courts have questioned it. but the Su-
preme Court, in the Stoutenburgh case,
apparently agreed with the word usage
and the intentions of the 1871 act,
saying that Congress could only au-
thorize it TO exercise municipal powers,
and that was all that Congress at
tempted to do" That decision voided
an act of the District Assembly, but only
for reason that would have equally
voided State legislative act, that it
interfered with interstate commerce.
