Privilege Up to Old Tricks
Same Interests That Fought
Brandeis Now Oppose Black
By GEORGE L. KNAPP
Washington, D. C. (ILNS)—Sena
tor Hugo Black should feel highly
honored. His appointment to the su
preme court is denounced by the news
papers, columnists and privilege prop
agandists that slanged President
Roosevelt during the last campaign
and opposed by the same interests
that fought the confirmation of Jus
tice Brandeis 21 years ago—and for
the same reasons.
The morning after President Wil
son sent the nomination of Brandeis
to the senate, the Boston News Bu
reau said:
"There is only one redeeming fea
ture in the nomination, and that is
that it will help to bury Wilson at
the next presidential election.
Mr. Brandeis has been the leader of
all the political and financial forces
smashing the credit of the Boston &
Maine and the New Haven railroad
systems."
"Brandeis Foretold Crash
Braideis had no part in any legal
struggles against these roads until
they had crashed. His real sin was
that he foresaw and foretold the crash
so early and so accurately that the
schemers never forgave him for un
covering their tricks. The air and
ocean mail subsidy grabbers and the
utility holding company gougers feel
the same toward Senator Black.
C. W. Barron, the Wall street
mouthpiece, denounced Brandeis in
very severe terms. A few years be
fore, Brandeis had put into the record
in a lawsuit a letter in which Barron
asked for 50 shares of stock in a new
company for his favorable comments
on it.
Same Charge Against Both
A group of gentry headed by A.
Lawrence Lowell, president of Har
vard University, wrote the senate
that Brandeis did not possess the
"judicial temperament" needed. Black
has already been charged with lack
of judicial temperament and Har
vard is the place which hissed Presi
dent Roosevelt in the last campaign
Brandeis had the opposition of
all the privilege hunters. So has
Black. Brandeis had the enthu­
Phone 5000
siastic support of labor. So has
Black.
Ex-President Taft signed a memo
randum declaring that Brandeis was
"not a fit person to be a member of
the supreme court." A few years
later, but before Taft became chief
justice, he encountered Brandeis one
rainy evening, and stopped him.
"Mr. Brandeis," said Talft, "I did
you a very great injustice once. I
am sorry."
Labor For Black
Senator Black has telegrams and
letters of congratulation and good
wishes literally from- every state in
the union. One of the most interest
ing of the letters is that from Alfred
Lief, author of "The Dissenting Opin
ions of Mr. Justice Brandeis," who
notes how closely Black's reception
resembles that accorded to Brandeis
in 1916.
Organized labor rallied to Black,
with no difference between the two
opposing organizations. W. James
Williamson, secretary of Maryland
Lodge 186 of International Associa
tion of Machinists, an A. F. of L.
union, wired: "Your labor record has
stood out for years as one that can
not be surpassed." The Birmingham
Industrial Union Council wires:
"Thirty thousand workers in this area
congratulate you."

By B. C. CLARKE
Washington, D. C. (ILNS)—Jobs
for 100,000 workers continuing ovvr
a period of more than four years art
visualized in the proposed new super
highway from Boston to Washington.
The stupendous project, consisting of
two four-lane concrete strips separ
ated by a central parkway would In
built at a minimum grade, and pass
ing around practically all cities and
towns.
The project is covered by a bill
pending in congress which has been
brought in by Congressman Ira Wal
ton Drew, of Philadelphia, and is in
tended primarily to solve the increas
ing problem of congestion on the east
ern seaboard. Later, it is expected
that similar roads will be extendi1!
into the interior parts of the country.
In the matter of construction, su
pervision of traffic and regulation «»f
tolls, the road would be under tin
sole control of a commission or an
thority set up by the federal govern
ment. The various traffic lanes would
entirely separate truck and passen
ger car travel, and with a minimi!!1
speed limit on one of the traffic lam
of 50 miles an hour.
No Grade Crosings
There will be no grade crossing's,
and entry upon the road will be

tance of New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore, but removed from tin
heavily traveled thoroughfares

o
the present intent, would be fixed by

sion.
Congressman Drew, who, has
consulted with Senator George W.
Berry, of Tennessee, and other
interested individuals on the proj
ect, believes the super highway
would solve the costly and waste
ful problem of traffic congestion
in the Eastern States area, and
in addition to the heavy consump
tion of manufactured products,
such as steel and cement, would
-provide directly for the employ
ment of not less than 100,000 men
in the actual task of road build

HULL PRAISES
Labor Body For Trade Policy
Stand
Chicago (ILNS). Secretary of
State Cordell Hull recently praised the
Chicago Federation of Labor through
its president, John Fitzpatrick, for
"recognizing the wide implications of
a liberal trade policy in the mainte
nance and promotion of peaceful rela
tions with foreign countries." He fur
ther praised the Federation for recog
nizing the "importance to labor of an
ever-increasing interchange of goods
between countries."
Hull's praise followed the adoption
of a resolution by the Chicago Federa
tion which congratulated the Secre
tary of State on the extension of the
Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act and
thanked him for his "distinguished
leadership in furthering reciprocal
trade agreements."
The labor resolution stated that
"American high tariffs during the
post-war era had established a prece
dent for upbuilding of trade barriers
on a world-wide scale" and the "pres
ent change in policy constitutes the
most realistic contribution which the
United States could possibly make to
ward international economic disarma
ment." It endorsed the "equitable
treatment of all nations who refrain
from trade discrimination against us,
as provided in the 'most favored na
tion' clause of the Trade Agreements
Act."
A man's busiest day is when he
stays at home to rest and his wife
gets him to do a few little odd jobs
around the house.
