One Block East of Fox River Bridge on Route 20 Phone 14 McHenry, Illinois Washington, June 23--Keen eyes and ears of political observers are watching the trend of Congressional affairs this week in particular to determine the effects of the Democratic pow-wow held along tfee Chesapeake last weekend. The three-day session was calculated to promote party soliddarity, but it is too early to evaluate the real outcome of the mass-meeting. There is a certain tactical advantage on morale tp see the President's chief critics within his party bask in the Presidential smile. The majority of these rebels are seasoned politicians and not a whit embarassed to talk differently when outside, the charmed circle of White House intimacy. The opinion prevails that the Chief Executive was a trifle dilatory in calling the confab as his Man Friday, PostmAster-General Farley, had lashed out with party discipline in the home districts of the dissenting Democratic legislators. The solans resent the crusade Of retaliation for failure to take White House orders on all measures.

The feeling is growing that this intervention means the beginning of 4abor responsibility--a controversial issue which the President and the national lawmakers have avoided because of political obligations and flarecacks. No matter how stupid and stubborn are nfiwy employers in their labor relations the conviction has been Established that the spread of strikes in every sector is directly attributable to White House encouragement to high union leaders. The politically-minded in the high places have apparently taken their cue from the mayors and council men in smaller communities ^where vigilantes have taken over law iienforcement. The belligerence of these local officials* is taken tb mean £hat they are proceeding with the lnr* jplied support of a majority of citii sens within the community. Otherwise, the legislators here deduce, as elective • ^officials wanting to return to lucra 4ive public offices the small city and town mayors would not dare to fight trikers affiliated with John Lewis and lis C.I.O. In the larger cities the situation is not so easy, which ac founts for violence. With hearings of the Administration's wage and hour bill closing at* tention is directed to the future of this proposal, which affects all workers and employers. The smooth sailing pre> 'cted at the introduction has been upset by intensified feeling in Con Jrressional quarters that their political Tutures are at stake in this matter^ The Democratic leadership in which Southerners dominate by sheer force ff numbers, is torn over this issue, The communities, which have looked 'forward to rapid industrialization oi the South with working conditions t<t attract business establishments from t>ther areas, are frankly concerned at the prospect of being placed on a pair .ivith Northern and Western competi tors in regard to hours, wages an< forking conditions. Hence, the wage differential section may be altered as compromise with the expectations that the Labor Standards Board will eventually force the South to raiso wages and lower hours to harmonize With similar standards in other local! ties. The bill is scheduled to pass be lore August, but will not be effective: tintil next fall. Lobbyists for the labor unions will have the veto power t>n several sections of the bill now considered objectionable.

It tends to centralize the Federal district judiciary by the power of assigning judtres from one district to another at will. 6. It tends to expand political control over the judicial department by adding to the powers of the legislative and executive departments respecting the judiciary. The Report in its concluding paragraph recommends that the President's proposal be so emphatically rejected that its parallel will never again be presented to the free representatives of the free people of America. The Committee Report on the Court Bill clearly demonstrates that even though the members of the Republican and Democratic Parties in our Congress may be bitter political enemies, yet when a crisis arises which threatens our fundamental liberties and free institutions, the sound and clear thinking members of both great political parties will join hands and rebuke any attempt to impair or destroy our great system of government. Nuisance Taxes: Congress for the third time has extended the so-called nuisance taxes, including three cent first class postage, federal gas tax, as well as a tax on electricity, matches, cameras , chewing gum, «porting gqoda, cosmetics, toilet soap, tooth' paste, furs, tires and tubes, automobiles, theater admissions and many other items.
