PRICE 6c Ctiffifr URGES EXPORT Here and There -Editorial By ALEX. H. WASHBURN- HTHE question as to what to do about America's ovcr-rcjfu- 1 latccl, over-financed, and under-managed railroads, becomes steadily more complicated. t9 Hero on my desk is a long letter of complaint from the Spokane (Wash.) Spokesman-Review. As you have been reading from time to time in the papers, a movement is under way to lighten the tremendous load of government regulation of the railroads.

The rails acr no longer transportation monopoly. Highway trucks arc giving them a run for their money. The question is: Should regulation he piled just as heavily on the trucks as it is on the railroads, or should all regulation be relaxed a bit in the interest of lower transportation costs? We have been inclined to the latter the Spokesman-Review says "No." Speaking up for the coastwise and coast-to-coast shipping industry, the Washington paper says: The only barrier thnl prevents the railroads from crippling or destroying competitive forms of as they did destroy water transportation 40 years ago, is the long antl short haul clause of the fourth i-ection of the Interstate Commerce Act. This act was originally passed by congress in 1887, after the railroads had run the steamers off the Mississippi and other rivers, and destroyed the shipping from coast to coast, by cutting railroad rates to certain points on the water, and offsetting their losses with higher rates for shorter hauls to other points. XXX Some consideration must be given to preserving coatswise shipping, it is the Spokesman-Review argument is robbed of much of its pow- Measures of New Deal Placed Before High Court AAA and TVA Laws Taken Under Advisement by U.

S. Supreme Justices EARLY Court Sustains Michigan State Tax Up to $250 on Chain Stores 1 )--The supreme court agreed Monday to measure the New Deal's farm and Tennessee valley programs by the yardstick of the constitution which already has ruled cut NRA. In docketing potentially historic term the tribunal received the unprecedented action of a state attacking a Roosevelt administration law. Georgia, whose Gov. Eugene Talmadge is a Roosevelt foe, asked permission to challenge constitutionality of the Bankhcad cotton control act.

Chief Justice Hughes said the court would consider Georgia's request. The tribunal agreed last spring to review a Texas case involving the Bankhead cotton ginning tax. Of more immediate importance to' cri so ar as the terrorizing of inland the administration was the high co'mmunities is concerned. court's agreement to pass on the con itutionaHty of the AAA's processing resident Roosevelt has indicated congress may be asked to levy new taxes to supply the 5500,000,000 estimated necessary to fulfill existing benefit payment contracts. Involved in the TVA case is governmental sale of surplus keystone of the New Deal's policy of netting up a government standard for measuring private power cosUs.

Store Tax Upheld The validity of the Michigan chain store tax in effect was upheld. At the request of all parties to the controversy, the court dismissed an appeal by the C. F. Smith Company and 20 other coiporations and 15 nidi- viduals challenging the tax. The Michigan Supreme Court had sustained the graduated annual license tax on chain stores running from $10 for each store in excess of one, when not more than three are operated under the same ownership or control, to $250 for each store in excess of 25.

"Just look for somebody that's been stung," Broad told police. "Those bees arc tough cookies. They've been eating honeysuckle nectar all summer and that has the same effect on bees as fresh, raw mciit does on a bulldog."

The whole problem has turned since the old days when Scn- jator Robert M. of the present that the government ought to buy the railroads.

The railroads were then a dangerous monopoly, and were making money. Today they are not a monopoly, they are not making money, and they owe almost as much money as the federal government 20 billion dollars, against the government's 30 billions. There is a temptation to turn the railroads loose, as regards present regulation, and let the bankers and railroad managers and their men work out the difficulties and debts the best way they can. Something has to be done, and it is almost a foregone conclusion that any parly which advocated the government's purchase of the railroads in their present condition would be smashed by an outraged taxpaying public. Tne only alternative is to withdraw regulation over such distances as trucks can profitably compete with the then wail for results to determine future policies.

a year of bitter factional strife, two rival groups of American Federation of Labor building trades unions shook hands and made peace Monday night. They agreed to refer their issues to a board of three members from each side, with a neutral chairman. This board is to work out a plan for rc- crganization of the federation's Building Trades Department. Craft unionists won the first round in the batlle over how workers in mass production industries should be organized. The convention's resolutions committee voted, eight to seven, lo recommend that the convention reaffirm its present policy that mass production workers should be organized into indsutrial unions with due protection of the jurisclictional rights of already-established craft unions.

The minority will submit, a report to the convention calling for adoption of the following policy recommended in a resolution submitted by about 50 federal unions: That the federation "promote the organization of industrial, national and international unions in the mass pro- jductkm industries, with jurisdiction jover all workers employed in their jropectivc industries, irrespective of craft or trade." The scrap is over whether one union should be formed each big industry, or whether the'machinists' union, for instance, should organize all the machine shop in all industries.
