C PETERSON. Prop. Approach of U»e Christmas holidays finds business, labor and government agencies with a mild case ol' jitters rather than a peaceful frame of mind. Just at a time when a practical working pact between industry and governmental agencies was beyond the talking stage, the implications of the- current inquiry into the habits of munition-makers tossed a wrench into the well-oiled machinery. Efforts to coax idle and unremunerative capital back into circulation have been jeopardized by strong hints that another excess profits tax will be the aftermath of the Senate committee's inquiry into armament policies of this and other governments. While excessprofits are admittedly a rarity these days, fear is expressed that the debate in Congress will lead to a more far-reaching stunt to cripple, indu^ fry-*-laVs' definitely limiting profits of all industrial concerns. , „ ?- Conferenci?5 between industrial lead crs at White Sulphur Springs t&ia week Aire* ?l6sely watched by the Ad-1 Volo School Friday evening.

Industry and commerce enterttti a wholesome fear of Congres j sional hijackers. I The fact that the Supreme Court ; of the United-States has under consideration the effects of administrative orders may force Congress to ! cogitate on the wisdom of'delegating; ipowers on a wholesale scale. The legislative body gave freely at the., last session to administrative agencies largely on the appeal of an emergency. Now that the emergency is nearing its- end, and matters take on the cloak of permanency, the leader.1 at Capitol Hill are willing to recant. They resent their present unhappy, role of a rubber-stamp and the dominance of bureaucrats. The prestige and importance of the national legls* lature has suffered under this deleg a t i o n of C o n s t i t u t i o n a l p o w e r s . ' .Floods of executive orders and proclamations have gradijplly usurped many functions which the Congress cherished as exclusive. Officials, in many instances, are now seeking more authority and here is where the issue will crop out next month. There is nothing like paving the way for your pet ideas. Senators and Representatives in town in advance of the January session are trying to sell their legislative measures to col? leagues before.the measures find thei way officially into committee files.
