Humane Agent Wins Round In Job Fight
Lorain County humane agent Ralph W. Weimer won the first round in a dispute with Mayor George Bretz. A common pleas judge issued a writ of mandamus directing the mayor to approve a $30 February salary or show cause by March 5. Weimer alleged the mayor refused to issue a city voucher for his February pay. The mayor told Weimer his services were no longer desired at the end of January, but Weimer continued duties through February. The petition states no finding was made that his services were not justified or that he is unsuitable for the position, a prerequisite Weimer argues is needed to discharge him.

President Finds New Deal In Retreat On Fifth Inauguration Anniversary
President Roosevelt marks the fifth anniversary of his inauguration as the New Deal retreats amid a steep drop in business activity. Congress rebuffs reforms, judiciary change fails, and an isolation tone grows as unemployment remains elevated and national debt climbs. The Democratic Party fractures, while labor shows internal strains, complicating Roosevelt’s political standing ahead of elections. The piece notes rising national income yet little progress toward permanent unemployment solutions and hints at a cautious outlook for New Deal policies.
