WASHINGTON Not many people know it, but when Justice Pierce Butler sided with the supreme su-preme court minority in favor of the Jones and Laughlin Steel company in . the Wagner act case last week, he was favoring one of his family's iron ore customers. The Butler family made its millions in Minnesota by mining iron ore, and they have had a contract for some years with the Jones and Laughlin Steel company, com-pany, although the latter produces pro-duces much ore itself. One ship ment of Butler ore is arriving this week at Ashtabula, Ohio for transshipment to the Jones and Laughlin plant. The Butler ore mines are estimated esti-mated to have made about $10,-000,000 $10,-000,000 for the Butler brothers Oiiginally there were six brothers. broth-ers.

OPTIONAL ETHICS Whether or not a justice of the supreme court steps aside on a case in which he is personally per-sonally interested depends entirely entire-ly on him.
