Yet, because of the Oklahoma success, whether actually due to the President's intercession or not, and hecause of the outpouring of voters along the route, contestants who did not get the Presidential blessing will nurse their grudges privately during the campaign. No Democrat is going out to scream against the President or the New Deal—if he is smart. That, it

efficiency. The Wage-Hour Act has no such provision, so Mr. Andrews can be fired at the President's will. The strict civil service ment in the act, apparently covering every worker in the wage-hour division except himself, is certain to make it hard to obtain skillful administrative assistants and other experts, This will also slow down the setting up | of the big organization necessary for conducting hearings and investigations, The A. F. of L.-C. I. O. split will | be a thorn in the Administrator's side. In setting up “industry committees’ to make recommendations on establishing wages above 25 cents an hour, labor is supposed to have equal representation with industry and with disinterested pub-

The act authorizes employees sue for double the unpaid legal wage, plus attorneys’ fees and court costs. The U., S. Chamber of Commerce reports that it has found “indications that wage hour law administration will proceed slowly, giving affected industries time to readjust their operations,” and pre- | dicts that “the haste and con- | fusion of the hectic NRA days ap- | parently are not to be repeated.”

After WPA's investigation of WPA in Kentucky, following a series of articles by Thomas L.
