Compromise Discussed Tnlk of compromise increased. Three democratic senators gener ally considered non-comiultul on tho Issue Hrown of Michigan, Schwollenbach of Washington and Huffy of Wiaconsin indicated they would bo receptive lo compromise. possible compromises most dis cussed were: To add two or four Insletid of six Justices. To require a two-thirds vote of the court lo Invulldute any law. To make retirement from the oourt mandatory at 70 or 7fi or after a specified term of service. Outspoken opponents Ilko Huricn, Senator Wheeler D Mont.), and Senator Van Nuys (0., hid.), said they would not compromise on nny enlargement of the court, but that conKtHutlona) amendments such ns one w limit the (enure of justices came Jn another category. On Ihe administration side. Chairman Ashurst (D Ariz.), of tho judiciary committee also de clared against compromise. A ioh slide Inkling of administration de termination to carry through came in comment by Attornoy fioneral ("lummlngs that the decisions "show tho wisdom of the presi dent's plan," Secretary Porklns called the rul ings proof that the constitution "Is indeed broad enough to give con gress power to denl with our most nresslng social and industrial prob lems when tho court la willing to rococnizo tho alatutory techni que." Labor Chiefs satisfied Foes though they are on the Is sue of craft against, tndusttinl un ionism, Presldont William flrnon of tho American Federation of La bor and John U Lewis of tho .com mittee for Industrial organization expressed satisfaction over tho de cisions. flroen predicted an upsurge In uiVfoiY organization and tho end of company unions.

Tho decisions, he said, Illustrate that tho fact he sponsored "ein hodles those uudurlylng principles of democracy and fair dealing un dor which Industry and labor can settle their difficulties without further supervision by the govern ment." Hughes' Opinion Eyed Aside from wago end hour stand ards and sit-down strikes, other topics dlscUKsed at tho capital in cluded a bun against, child labor, application of tho principles of tho railway mediation act to other in dustries, and authorizing fair trade agreements similar to NHA codes all by Invocation or federal pow ers as defined by Chief J tint Ice Hughes.

What pleased the advocates of stronger federal power was that tho court, even If only by the margin of Jusllco Roberta' vod. had ruled that the Jones and Laughltn Steel corporation of Penn sylvania, the Fruehnuf Trailer company of Michigan, and the I'rtedman-Uurry Marks Clothing company of Virginia were held to be in Interstate commerce.

Iii th s connection, it was recall ed that someone bud observed that tho supreme court bad progressed now to a new definition of "no man's luud," and that it was now a "Roberts' land." It was suld the president still was Interested In child lubor pro hibitions, but there was no assur ance that legislation along this line would bo held constitutional.

ROSEBURG PROGRESS (Continued from pare 1) are not lodges, social clubs or fra ternities. In fact .they are the em bodiment of activities wherein they function. A man who does not have a business Interest In his town and does not belong to the chamber of commerce or one of the leading civic clubs Is not only shirking his clutluu as a citizen, but be Is neglecting the companionship, fel lowship and leBsons In experience to he had by mingling with his fellows and helping ilium to build a city. A one-horse power .engine cun lift a maximum of weight, but It can only lift pne thlrtieth.ot the weight that can be lifted by a thirty-horse power engine. Hence, when bunded together with others of like Intent, the power for good Is Infinitely greater. Civic Enterprises Since the organization of the first commercial club In Roseburg commercial organizations have been civic enterprises. The meet ings held In those, earlier . dayB demonstrated that even these pio neers realized the power of a com mercial organization. They have advocated ' the elimination of 'booms" or the practice of "boom" Bread . is a BIG HIT with families here!) p!U ( 0UUA LEE WRIGHT'S JjJ. A ' THAT'S PERFECT ) methods, ' The . original organization spon sored the bringing of industries to Roseburg until today it Is one of the most Important factors in the building of good roads, encourag ing new Industries to come, and help those already here. Tho chamber of commerce is the only organization maintaining a per manency in the city of Roseburg going after the building of high ways, encouragement of industries, development -of markets and other phases of community thrift. The members of the chamber of commerce and civic clubs are ulwayB advocating the opportuni ties and beauties of their city and its ' trade territory. Silhouetted ugalus't the hills to the west, which could almost he termed mountains, Roseburg has a strategic location. It is prac'ticully In the center of the county; near the junction of the North Umpquo,' river und the South Unipoua river; It Is on the Southern Pacific railroad, Pacific highway (99) counects with the Oregon Coast highway and the Redwood Umpire highway; it is 625 miles north of San Pranclsco; 60 miles from the Pacific ocean; 208 miles south of Portland und 75 miles from any city of like Bize. Douglas county, with Its divers ity of resources,. proVideH plentv of activity for tho chamber of commerce. During the last six mm 3 years it ha, been called' on by the , government, gench or a tre-- mendoua utnounti qf work. These problems were bandied first by the chamber of commerce. In addition ' to regular , duties -it meant much arbitration and much work. ' It is the consensus, however, that what the Commercial club uuii chamber of commerce have done In the past and the evidence of. the effect of tho early day or ganizationIs what it can do In the future und particularly In the next few years. This is a period. '. that calls for the utmost In wise. . planning und vigorous action. So , , useful an ugeucy should be main tained in all its efficiency In Rose burg during tho Immediate years to come. ... NOTED SPECIALISTS Successfutly treat Rectal.
