Rapid Recovery in Flood
and Strike Areas Is
% Shown by Reports.
• NEW YORK, February 24.—With
CrteUl Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 24.—With
unbounded relief at the passing of the
disastrous flood and the ending of the
moet immediately serious strike situa
tion, latest reports show a rapid re
covery in hardware sales and ship
ments in the affected areas. In all
other sections there have been unin-,
terrupted gains over last year’s Jan
uary and February showings. Hard
ware Age will say tomorrow in its
market summary. A number of
wholesalers are learning to plan spe
cial sales campaigns for these usually
quiet months, and are keeping up
their own and their customers’ volume
by tempting offerings, contracted for
months in advance.
There has been great handicap of
Unseasonable weather over a large part
of the country, but where Winter
goods have suffered, other lines have
correspondingly gained. Building and
farm activity has been better than for
similar periods in any recent year.
City shoppers have had no excuse for
staying indoors.
Vacation goods and luggage sports
equipment and clothing are a lively
stock in trade for hundreds of hard
wale stores in the Winter resort areas
of the South and West and Winter
sports are making an ever-increasing
appeal with many new districts com
peting this Winter for the traveler's
Interest.

Justice Butler, Log-Cabin
Born, Ranked as Wealthy
«
Nomination by Harding
Roused Midwest Pro
gressives9 Wails.
(Editor’s note—This is the third
of a series of word portraits on
Supreme Court justices affected by
the President’s court reorganiza
tion recommendations. Justice
Butler will pass the 70-year mark
March 17.)
Bt the Associated Press.
Pierce Butler was born in a Min
nesota log cabin, and the valedictory
music of his’ youth was the clanking
of milk cans he wrestled for college
money.
Genealogically he is as Irish as a
•shamrock. His birthday is St. Pat
rick's. as was his father's, whose name
w’as Patrick.
Treasured among the anecdotal tid
bits which are hoarded in the Capi
tal is the one concerning Justice
Butler and the Virginia imbecile
statute.
Target in Dissent.
Sole dissenter of the decision which
upheld the right of the Old Dominion
to sterilize its mentally deficient, his
opinion put him on the receiving end
of a salty sally by the late Justice
Oliver Wendell Hollmes,
"Three generations of imbeciles are
enough,” read the Holmes opinion.
"Mr. Justice Butler dissents.”
Viewed from the draped magnifi
cence of the Supreme Court floor,
Butler is a hulking man with piercing
blue eyes, a round face and thread
like curling hair.
His many friends know him as a
genial story teller, a good companion,
a jurist of untiring zeal, a stickler
for rigid interpretations of constitu
tional rights and a bad golfer.

by President Harding, he was seated
amid a chorus of loud wails by Mid

RAIL GAINS OFFSET
January Results Expected
to Be Somewhat Better
Than 1936 Marks.
B» the Associat'd Press.
NEW YORK. February 24—The
January operating statements of rail
roads thus far announced make a
somewhat less favorable comparison
with the previous year than they did
a few months back, but the results as
a whole have «ot been discouraging
to followers of rail fortunes.
One particularly bright aspect of the
situation, as the optimists see it, is that
early reports indicate the January in
crease in operating revenues has been
more than sufficient to offset the loss
of emergency freight charges, which
were relegated to oblivion bv'Interstate
Commerce Commission ukase with the
turn of the year.
This means that aggregate net oper
ating income apparently will be some
what higher than in January, 1936,
when all the reports are in, although
the margin of improvement may vary
considerably with each individual road,
depending on special conditions and
maintenance policies.
In this connection analysts noted
freight carloadings in the first four
weeks of the month average better
_
than 12 per cent over 1936, while the
improvement in gross has been esti
mated to have averaged around 10
plr cent.
Extraordinary situations prevailing
in various parts of the country were
vividly reflected in statements of roads
serving the territory involved. South
ern Pacific, for instance, turned in a
remarkable 40 per cent increase in
gross and a 225 per cent gain in net
operating income. The good showing
was traced directly to the increased
business the line handled during the
maritime strike on the Pacific Coast.
On the other side of the fence rail
students found Chesapeake & Ohio
suffered a decline of 11 per cent in
gross and nearly 40 per cent in net
operating income due to flood and
strike conditions in part on its terri
tory.
