The committee consisted of seven Democrats and three Republicans. Fancy that. I can understand Republicans affixing their John Henrys ‘to a blistering document of that kind. But when seven stalwart Democrats do it, it really amounts to reading the President out of the Democratic party. “So far as the President .being a Democrat is concerned, he can’t be read out of the party, for he never was a Democrat in the sense that President Wilson was.

In the first place Nine Old Men did not belong to him, never was owned ‘by any President. It is a community horse, terribly independent and not used to being ridden. When the Opportunist tried to sling “his “legs across that animal, it just naturally stood still and let the real owners do the hollering. The holler was heard. The senate which regards itself as greatest deliberative body in the world listened and then deliberated. The majority of the Judiciary Committee took ten days off and denounced among other things the Presidemt’s attempt to “lay the lash on the court,” an attempt tO compel ‘‘a suwhordination of the views of the judges to the executive And legislative’. The committee points out that if that could be accomplished, it would result in “autocratic dominance’ which was “the Wery thing against which the American Colonies. revolted, and to prevent which the Constitution was in every particular framed.’ fas Shakespeare or somebody remarked: ‘Vaulting ambition overleaps itself.’ When forty six states elect a President, it is bound to be strong /wine for any head and especially for that of an Opportunist. But F. D. R. is learning that that tremendous vote did not mean,that the President could do anything he thought best for the people.

PINENEEDLEFIRE GETS WIDE ATTENTION A fire alarm was turned in from the Lake Vera region north of Nevada City this morning where some pine needles were being burned near one of the Camp Fire Girls camps, by state lookouts this morning.

Well, it. is funny how’s a man’s chickens come home roost. You know I rathe: doubt whether the President’s wife ever stands in much awe of. him.

Under .the original plan the new city hall: would have cost the city $3,750. AS it progressed, however, costs to the city mounted to over $14,000. The total cost of the building was between $32,000 and $33,000. Tom. Riekard then. lead the audience in the singing of ‘‘California’’. the highlight of the program was an interesting speech given ‘by Geo. Calanan, city clerk. Mr. Calanan told of several historic events in the city’s history and also of the pioneer men who helped to make Nevada City the fine little city that it is. The Grand officers of he Native Sons of the Golden Wes were then introduced by Dr. Chapman and a picture was taken of them and ‘the people attending the dedication.

An attempt was made > vs. the Idaho Maryland Mining com-'to trace other materials used. in the pany at the Labor Relations Board’s hearing which began at ten o'clock this morning in the Memorial Auditorium in Grass Valley. The hearing is on the charge that eighty men were locked ‘out in the recent shutdown of the old Brunswick mine by the Idaho Maryland Mines company. The hearing was before E. E. Neal, a labor board examiner. The union, an affiliate of John L. Lewis’ Committee for Industrial Organization; accuses the Idaho Maryland of closing the old Brunswick mine to curb the organization activities of the union. The Idaho Maryland company denied locking out. the Brunswick miners and also denied the jurisdiction of the board in labor matters concerning the company. The company: holds that the gold mined on the Idaho Maryland properties is not in any way connected with interstate commerce, which is regulated under the provisions of the NIRA. The company issued a blanket denial of the CIO charges and stated that at the outset of the organizations activities of the CIO in ‘this section the directors of the company issued instructions that no interference was to be offered either for or! against the union. The company also stated that since the Brunswick shu:down approximately twenty five of the miners have been re-employed at other properties of the corporation. The examination was conducted by Bertram Edises, attorney for the Labor Board and Judge Edgar Zook, attorney for the Idaho ‘Maryland. Bert Crase superintendent of the Idaho Maryland was the first witness and occupied the stand all the morning and until three o'clock this afternoon. The trend of the questions on the part of Attorney Edises was to show that materials used by the mine came from various other states besides California, indicating that the mine was a factor in interLAST RITES HELD TODAY FOR LATE LIBBY WERRY Funeral services for the late Mrs. Libby Werry, widow of the late John Werry, were held this afternoon at the Holmes Funeral Home at 2 o’clock with the Rev.

He produced cards which were filled in for applicants for jobs in the Idaho Maryland, the Old and New Brunswick and the Grass Valley Bullion mine in which the Idaho Maryland has a stock interest. Wolfland testified that men were asked concerning the organizations to which they belonged, ~but that rarely did they answer that they bely they stated they ‘belonged to some fraternal organization, such as the Masons, the Knights of Pythias or the Odd Fellows. Wolfland stated that the men were required to give references regarding where they had worked and that these references .were’ investigated. The company, he said had been more strict in this regard since the first of the year, when he took over the post of personnel director. After their application has been filed they were given a rustling card. All applications were obliged to pass a physical examination. Prior to hearing of testimony this afternoon, names on the list of comm plaintants were given a purging on motion of Attorney Edises. He stated that list was taken’ from that posted in the old Brunswick dry house,, and it had been discovered that sevbelong to a ‘union, and that others had quit or gone elsewhere befor the mine was closed. Several had also. been transferred to other Idaho Maryland properties. Such names were ordered removed from the list. STAR BEGAN AS WISE CRACKING Ben Bernie, the Old Maestro of Jazz, owes much of ‘this present eminence to the fact that he was such an enthusiastic toy salesman. It is more or less to that also that ‘he owes hig current screen appearance with Waltel Winchell and Alice Faye in “Wake Up and Live,” the Twentieth Century Fox hit opening Wednesday at the Nevada Theatre.

Fromthat humble beginning, ha wien uel fiddler became one of the most consistently successful entertainers in America. The toy department experience, and the fact that no vegetables were tossed at him on his amateur tryout determined Bernie on a vaudeville career, which he pursud for some time with occasional success and frequent lay offs. ‘ The war broke out just as_ Bert was getting a foothold on the stage.
