Senate and Hotuse Commit
tees Will Start Taking Tes
timony Tomorrow.
Still hopeful of completing their
hearings by June 15, the Senate and
House Labor Committees today de
layed until tomorrow the taking of
Initial testimony in connection with
the Black-Connery wage and hour
bill.
The hearings were scheduled to be
gin today, but the holiday week end
made it inconvenient for scheduled
Witnesses to appear before tomorrow.
As originally scheduled, Assistant
Attorney General Robert H. Jackson
will be the first witness. Active in
successful defense of the constitution
ality of some of the major social leg
islation of the present administration,
Jackson is expected to address himself
particularly to constitutional aspects
of the proposed law.
Claudius T. Murchison, president of
the Cotton Textile Institute, also is
scheduled for appearance on the first
day.
In brief, the bill would bar from
Interstate commerce the products of
industries which pay less than a min*
lmum wage, work more than a max
imum hour figure, employ minors or
violate certain other labor standards.
The wage and hour figures are not
fixed in the bill.

Today’s Another “Holiday”
Number of Celebrations Taxing Calen
dar—Marquette Latest to Be Honored.
DAYS come, days go.
So long as they do, there
will always be the days we
celebrate.
Now the days we celebrate are a
mighty and a motley crew. There Is,
for instance, mother-in-law day.
That was started by Eugene Howe,
the eccentric Texas editor of Ama
rillo.
There is, also. Father's day.
In the immediate future you might
even get brother-in-law day—to cele
brate the day your brother-in-law
gets a job.
Sister-in-law day, too. to com
memorate the time when your sister
in-law stops sticking her nose in the
family business. Trying to name the
baby, for instance.
So we contemplate the days we cel
ebrate.
Today is Marquette day.
Mere mention of the fact may send
some people scurrying to the reference
books. Who was Marquette? Why
does he have a day on which we
celebrate? What did he do? And
what of it?
Well, Marquette day is named in
honor of Pere Jacques Marquette, the
great missionary priest, who was also
an explorer in his own right—the re
discoverer of the Mississippi.
Memorial day, or Decoration day,
everybody knows about.
There are, however, in the Amer
ican calendar more days than a cat
has lives—more days we celebrate.
TO MARQUETTE.
Representative Hatton W. Summers
of Texas, chairman of the House
Judiciary Committee, is beginning to
wonder if there are actually enough
days in the year to keep up with the
demand.
j "We just haven't got enough days
to go around,” he says, "enough days
to supply the people of America with
the days they want to celebrate.”
Bills in untold numbers are pre
sented to Congress each year to set
aside the days we celebrate. If they
all went through you would have
such festivities as harvest day, arbor
day, liberty day, patriot’s day and
peace day—to mention only a lew.
St. Patrick's day is the only holi
day that has never had a sponsor in
Congress. No one ever comes forth
with the proposition to make St.
Patrick's day in the morning a na
tional holiday—and there’s a reason.
It is the only day that goes on its
own momentum, celebrated alike by
Irish, German and Jew.
Strange -as It may seem. Thanks
giving day is not a national holiday.
In order to be national holidays the
days we celebrate must be observed
by all the States in the Union, and
Utah does not celebrate Thanksgiving
day, officially.
The Nation celebrates many other
days, known as legal or public holi
days. There are 12 of these: Jan
uary 1, New Year day; February
12, Lincoln's birthday; February 22,
Washington's birthday; Good Friday,
a movable feast; May 30, Decoration
or Memorial dav: July 4, Independ
ence day; the first Monday In Sep
tember, Labor day; October 12, Co
lumbus day; the first Tuesday after
the first Monday In November, elec
tion day, In all States but Illinois,
Massachusetts, Mississippi, Ohio and
Vermont; November 11, Armistice
day; the last Thursday in November,
Thanksgiving Day, and December 25,
Christmas.
Actually, and under constitutional
law, there is no such thing as a na
tional holiday, since Congress has
WELl'i
WWA7' X
lNEM
w
authority to declare a holiday only
in the territory over which it has
supreme jurisdiction—the District of
Columbia and all its .voteless sister
provinces and territories, such as
Hawaii and the like. When Congress
declares for a holiday the other States
fnay follow suit, if they see fit, and
thus there is national observance.
Now it happens that persons

Now obtainabla avarywhara at popular pritat
throughout the country, for one rea
son or another, are constantly be
seeching Congress to declare such
and such a day a national holiday.
Each year the Congress is presented
with certain bills that, if passed, would
add these days to the list—days such
as Marquette day—but those days are
only temporary holidays, in that they
are for this year or that year only.
Not permanent.
There is a bill now pending in the
Senate, for instance,, which would
declare April 13, each year, Thomas
Jefferson day. That bill has passed
the House. If it gets by the Senate
and each State in turn accepts it,
April 13 hereafter will be Jefferson
day.
Another bill would make October
11, the day before Columbus day,
Pulaski day, In honor of the great
revolutionary hero, Gen. Casimlr
Pulaski of Poland. A total of 36
separate bills are In Congress to
promote Pulaski day. The Idea is to
make it a permanent holiday.
In 1935 one of the temporary days
celebrated was Leif Erikson day.
Mother’s day is another perennial, and
there are bills now in the Judiciary
Committee which would make the
third Sunday in each June Father's
day. The Seventy-third Congress en
tertained a resolution to make
Mother’s day a permanent holiday,
but nothing happened.
In the list of temporary days are
such outstanding ones as Army day
and Navy day, and now there is a
