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.

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 TRUNKS— Repairing of Leather Goods G. W.

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 The Train SECRETARY Type* Your Letters on the 4 CAPITOL LIMITED to Chicago Lv.
