ONE AIM OF BILL
Smith Measure Seeks to Set
Up U. S. Court of Labor
Adjustment.
The debatable question of whether
Congress has a right to set up its own
definition of Interstate commerce was
Injected Into the labor controversy
last week when Representative Mar
tin F. Smith of Washington intro
duced in the House a bill calling for
establishment of a Court of Labor
Adjustment and Arbitration.
Congress has never undertaken to
define interstate commerce, leaving
this task to the Supreme Court. That
tribunal, however, has followed a
policy of mling in each individual
case as it arises, refraining from any
broad definition of the term.
Interstate commerce, under the
language of Smith’s bill, would "apply
to and include every transaction re
lating to the production, transporta
tion and distribution of any com
modity or merchandise of a kind, use
of which is not limited to the State
In which it is produced, whether or
not such transaction takes place with
in the State.”
His proposed new court would be
composed of 10 Judges, to be appoint
ed by the President, by and with the
advice of the Senate. The court
would be given jurisdiction to hear,
arbitrate and adjudicate controversies
arising between employers and em
ployes, and affecting the public, re
lating to wages, hours and conditions
of employment. This jurisdiction,
however, is declared to be permissive,
voluntary and optional, with a right
of appeal to the Federal Circuit
Courts.
The bill also provides that none of
Its provisions shall be subject to re
view' as to its constitutionality by the
Supreme Court.

BOYS
CHARACTER BUILDING ... the
fundamental principle behind THE
STAR CARRIER TRAINING
SCHOOL has already produced
dividends in developing responsi
bility and dependability. Forty
young men are now attending the
classes of this training course.
w
I
The photos
* here show the
clean-cut type
of boy who is
delivering
your Star and
attending its
training school,
eager to de
v el ope his
salesmanship
and increase
his business
ability.
Here is the training that a boy receives:
1. He is given a two months’ course conducted by college-trained men under the close
supervision of the Circulation Manager.
2. “is trained in the fundamental principles of salesmanship which are necessary to
business success in any line;
3. “is given an interesting, yet educational insight of the complexity and magnitude
<rf a modern newspaper organization;
4. “learns why The Star is accepted as the outstanding newspaper in Washington
and one of the leaders in the country;
5. “is taught to judge the individual preferences of those persons with whom he comes
in contact;
6. “is trained to handle quickly and efficiently the product that carries that perish
able article of modern times, “NEWS”;
7. “is shown how to deal with, and be a leader among other boys;
8. “is given experience that will greatly aid him in any profession or business that
he may choose as his career for life;
9. “is taught to accept and appreciate responsibility.
When a carrier boy graduates from this course:
10. He is made a “Captain” and given four boys to train and supervise;
11. His salary is increased above that of a regular carrier;
12. He is allowed to work on his own initiative.
During the eighteen months that this course has been given approximately one
hundred boys have been graduated. To be admitted to the training course a boy
must be a regular Star carrier, show interest in his route and be selected by his route
agent or manager.
