As the people grew in intelligence, and began 's~ to realize that these soothsayers were in human like themselves, they lost faith in their professions of omniscience. 'lis The desire for help and advice from ill? some supernatural authority, howrs' ever, is innate in human nature, end >rs in a higher level of civilization temples were built where people might go to ask counsel of the Oracle. None saw the Oracle. The petition5 er laid his or her gifts on the alter and offered his or her prayer for guldence. Presently a vqi^e seemed to filled the at temple, though no person was in sight. The Oracle has spoken; the prayer d" was answered. irt The other day explorers in Syria ?* unearthed one of these ancient altars and found the clay speaking tube ia, through which the priest heard the rs- petition and ansvyered it as through a~ a megaphone. Poubtless he was a wise man and gave advice as sound as it in WM comforting. The world has long tie ceased to believe in Oracles, howe> ever. Only the very silly accept the re voice of even Hitler or Mussolini as 3~ that of Omnscience.

That is regarded her* as signifying that the split between William Green's A. F. of (k and John L. Lewis' Committer on Industrial Organization has resulted in breaking the power which th* "Labor Lobby" has for so long exercised over Congress. This is such a revolutionary condition that its full significance has not yet dawned upon Senators and Representatives whh * % A ' *1 A A f nave long oeen accusiomea 10 jumping whenever Organized Labor cracks the whip. Labor Lobby Split "Labor" used to mean the A. F. of L. and nothing else. Therefore, when Senator Lodge of Massachusetts introduced an amendment providing that all workers on building* constructed under the new Housing Act must be paid at the "prevailing rate of wages," and President William Green of the Federation de mandect that that provision be put into the bill, it seemed a foregone ' conclusion that the Lodge amendment would stick. And so it would have except for the fact that Mr. Lewis of the C. I. O. declined to. . give it his benediction. There was no open statement in opposition by Mr. Lewis, but the word was quietly passed around that his feelings would not be hurt if the Lodge amendment were overLooked. For the first time in years, the ranks of Organized Labor are split. Instead of one Labor Lobby there are two. And the net result, so far as Congress is concerned, is to weaken the power of Labor to influence legislation. High Wage* Would 8top Boom The importance of the elimination Df the Lodge amendment, which called for payment of "prevailing rate of wages" on housing construction eligible for the mortgage guarantee provisions of the Act, lies in the _ -[act that "prevailing rate of wages" las been interpreted by many courb. :o mean "highest union scale." Since ;he high A. F. of L. wages scales in he building trades are regarded as ?ne of the chief obstacles to revival )f the building industry, the beliei n Congress amounted to a conviction hat to insist upon them in the new ,aw would make it Impossible for he purpose of the law to be achieved. That purpose is to build new home:;, nit more craftsmen to work in the juilding industries. But while the/Labor Lobby met iefeat for the first titme in an imjortant engagement, the most powirhil of all the Congressional Lobbies ?Labor having ranked as second? von its first skirmish in newest stack upon the Treasury. This is the 4 Veterans' Lobby. The combination >f war veterans has been more than i match for several Presidents. H lefeated Mr. Roosevelt on the bonui. vhen he was at the height of h.L political power and personal prestige. The Veterans' Lobby is behind a xiwerful drive to provide pension :or widows and orphans of Wori* War veterans, Whether they saw sev\ ce in the field or not Washington observers of pension history are ananimous in the belief that thr Veterans' Lobby will win this campaign, as it and its predecessors have von every previous pension drive. Pension Parade Marches On At the beginning of the World War, the statesmen in Washington laving in mind the scandals of the 3Id pension system under the lobbying of the Grand Army of the Republic, which had grown to such strength that it was for nearly hah a century the most powerful political force in the nation, established the war xusK insurance aysiem, vur purpose of which was to provide adequately for disabled service men en the dependenats of those dying in the war. Like the "war to end war" dream, this ''insurance to end pensions" did not work as planned. At the first organising convention i >f the American Legion, CoL Theodore Roosevelt Jed the movement to put the Legion on record as unalterably opposed to pensions. The determina tion not to make the T-*ginm anothev g. a. a was shortlived, however. History is repeating itself in the new pension drive, and the first skjrnd&t was won when the House Pensions Committee acted favorably on the bill for pensions, to all widows and orphans of World War veterans. Under the proposed law it is quite possible that Uncle Sam will be paying ifUm torn to Mi Ml J fa
