NEVADA CITY NUGGET NEW DEAL PLAYS FARMER GROUPS AGAINST OTHERS By JAMES PRESTON If farmers and small businessmen had been able to slip into a recent closed meeting in Washington, they would be plenty disturbed now. For they would have had an advance peek at some interesting things that are being planned for them, such’ as laws forcing them to pay no less than: $16 a week to any of their employees. The meeting was the National Conference of Labor Legislation, called by Secretary Perkins of the U. S. Labor Department and attended by official representatives of 39 state governors. Delegates were either state labor department officials or leaders of labor organizations. The purpose was to plan future state and federal laws. Among the first orders of business were committee reports advocating State WageHour laws patterned after the federal statute, and suggesting closer state-federal cooperation in the enforcement of wage-hour laws. The section on state wage-hour laws made no reference to inclusion of farm workers and domestic servants, so one delegate asked why not. To which an Illinois delegate replied: “In some states it is necessary to exempt agriculture for the moment in order to get the farm votes needed to pass the legislation.” Stating it more bluntly, that answer means this: Supporters of laws requiring employers. to pay specified wages realize that in. many states farmers could not afford to pay $16 a week to hired help and therefore would not support a state law forcing them to do so. But their support is needed to get such laws through the legislature. Therefore, farmers will be told how they would benefit if such wages were paid by ‘“‘industrialists’’ and ‘big’ business’ and talked into approving the laws. Then after the laws have been on _ the statute books a while, all the other groups will be swung behind amendments extending the minimum wages to farm help. That has some states, and the strategy worked so. well that the plan will be followed in others.

There was one substantial ray of hope however. One delegate demanded a resolution asking the U. S. Labor Department to survey unemployment, find out its cause, and suggest ways to give jobs to the 10 million now jobless. To everybody’s surprise, Secretary Perkins after recounting mamy experiments which have been ‘tried admitted: “We know too well that we have not gotten to the bottom of the question of unemployment and that our constructive suggestions have. not been enough.’’ She then went on to say that hope for the future rested with industry ] and its ability, through research and invention, to develop new products and processes, and added: “The new frontiers of industry are not closed. They do not respond to a resolution or to an act of Congress. We must not fool ourselves into thinking there is a remedy or: panacea for unemployment which can be put into effect by legislation or proclamation.” A lot of folks doubtless think it is too. bad, this philosophy hasn’t been general in Washington for some time. But now that New Dealers. are talking that way, maybe natural processes will be allowed a little more leeway. Remembering, of course,. that the intention still is to bring the farmer and little businessman into the corral. The special House Smith committee investigating the Wagner Act has finally found out why the Board can claim it has settled 21,000 labor disputes cases. The board takes credit for everything. For instance, a telegraph operator was fired by a press association for drunkenness, The operator filed a charge of “unfair labor practices’’ against the man who fired him. The Labor Board investigated, found that .the discharge was not “unfair’’ and simply wrote ‘settled’ on the complaint and put it in the files, among the 21,000 cases. The telegraph operator’s ' boss didn’t even know about the complaint until he got a questionnaire from the Smith committee asking him about it. So it could hardly have been a ‘labor dispute.’’ Butt the Labor Board had it on record that way. Washington’s financial experts are at odds again. Congress asked the Treasury to make a survey of the debt-tax situation and report back in January how business could be stimulated by tax law changes. In the middlé of the Treasury’s study, Chairman Eccles of the Federal Reserve Board came forth with a suggestion that taxes on both individuals. and corporations be increased: Under-Secretary Hanes of the Treasury immediately disavowed the Becles plan an;d said it did not have the ‘. of her daughter Mrs. Labor MRS.

Fraser was borne to 'the grave in the family plot in the local I, 0. O. F. cemetery Tuesday afternoon. Elizabeth E. Fraser was born here on September 3, 1860, one of the chidren ‘of. one of the largest pioneer families of this section. She spent her childhood days here, attending the local school, She married the late Samuel J. Fraser who served as justice of ‘the peace of Slate Range
Township for several. years, and to this union 'three children were born, of which two survive. Deceased passed away at the home Chas. A. Jones, at Campbell after an illness of several years. Although her condition was critical for some time, ‘the end “came asa shock to her many friends. She is survived by a daughter Mrs. Chas. A.

He is preparing to leave the first of next week’ for his new position. Mr. Larrabee has taken an active part in civic affairs in this city and county and it is witn regret that his many friends learn of his departure. Mrs. Larrabee and children will remain here until the Christmas holidays. Ellard Gates returned Sunday from several days visit in San Fran‘isco with Miss Alice Hill. He attended the California-Stanford football game and heard Orrin Tucker's orchestra at Mark Hopkins hotel. approval of the administration. Eccles’ motive for sticking the monkey wrench into the machinery is still unclear. But he happens to be one of those who think the Federal government should finance almost everything, and that letting it pile up a debt is the way to real prosperity. Hanes, on the other hand, looks forward to the day when ‘the government will spend no more than it takes in.
