THE NEVADA CITY NUGGET = N ews Review of Current -_ Events the World Over William Green Says Labor Must Force 30-Hour Week— Gen. Johnson and Business Leaders Discuss Future of the NRA. NOTICE is served on the nation that the 30-hour work week will be forced on industry, by organized labor by the use of widespread strikes, if necessary. This is the dictum of William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, and it causes’ consternation in the administration as well as grave alarm in the country generally. Green, in his May day address to workers, says the { New Deal has failed a . William Green to remedy the unemployment situation, since there are still more than ten millions without jobs, i} The 30-hour week, he says, is the only i remedy available since if all industries not yet under codes are brought under them, the resulting re-employment will not give work to these millions. Just before Green issued this statement, President Roosevelt had apparently declined to support the Connery bill legislating a 30-hour week for all industry ; and General Johnson has recently abandoned as not. feasible the plan_for forcing a 10 per cent reduction in working hours. EPRESENTATIVE BERTRAND : SNELL of New York, minority a leader in the house, says the period of emergency is over, so he and the rest of the Republican leaders feel free now to demand that the emergency ie laws and bureaus be dispensed with. An amazing phase of the controversy over the New Deal thus comes to light. The opponents of ‘the administration virtually concede that President Roosevelt and his advisers have won their fight against the depression f and declare that normal conditions have been restored or are at hand. ‘ But the President and the other New . Dealers deny that the battle is over i and assert that their recovery meas. ures must be continued in force. At : the same time they insist that they ‘are not seeking to change the American system to state socialism, colleci tivism, communism, fascism, and that what they are accomplishing is “evolution, not revolution.” Thus a most peculiar situation in ¢ . politics is created, and the man in the street is waiting interestedly to see how it will be handled in the coming campaign. . B4pers of business from all parts of the country gathered in Washington for the annual meeting of the United States Chamber ‘of Commerce, and naturally the topic for discussion was-the NRA, concerning which varying views were offered. President Henry I. Harriman declared that industry {is willing to accept the President’s suggestion of a permanent NRA if modifications and restrictions are placed on the broad authority Gen. Johnson ia granted Mr. Roosevelt during the . emergency last year. 4 On the other hand, Silas H. Strawn, former head of the chamber, attacked what he termed the abandonment of a scheme of government which has made “us happier and more prosperous than any other nation.” He called for a three-way action by Mr. Roosevelt: d Balancing of all. governmental budag ~ gets, a definite announcement that \§ there will be no more requests for ; emergency legislation and “no more : tinkering with the dollar,” and a revision of the securities act and proposed stock-exchange legislation. At a dinner Gen. Hugh S. Johnson was the chief guest and after his address he submitted to an inquisition é on the present and Prospective policles of the NRA. Asked directly if the principles embodied in the recovery aet were to be permanent, he replied: “If there has been apy good demonstrated by the recovery act, it will live and it ought to Wve; if there has ig _ been any bad it will die and it ought +. _ to die.” ae Admitting that there has been a lapse in public interest and enthusfasm, the general said a new campaign to make the nation Blue Eagle conscious was being mapped. He also admitted that the controversy between labor and industry is becoming more acute. He expressed the opinion that the ideal relationship between labor and management had been worked out in the bituminous coal industry, * Generally, the members of the Chamber of Commerce agreed that the first year under the NRA had brought economic improvement. Some of their suggestions for speeding the recovery program were: . Another $2,000,000,000 for public works in order to help the laggard heavy industries. Co-ordination of all land, water, and air transportation under a federal comn and a cessation of federal sub‘gidies'for inland waterways, +, Relaxation of the present rigid security act and a softening of the pendi 4 By EDWARD W.

Abandonment by the administration of its demand that industry. cut its working hours 10 per cent and raise its pay rolls 10 per cent. Control of bituminous coal production by a system of quotas and penalty taxes on overproduction. Bie a few hours before General Johnson had spoken in high praise of the bituminous coa) settlement, Federal! District Judge Charles I. Dawson in Louisville held unconstitutional the code arranged for that industry, as applied to local business, and granted a temporary injunction restraining the government from forcing the code upon unwilling operators in western Kentucky. The operators, who claim to have $50,000,000 invested in the mines, chiefly in Hopkins, Muhlenberg, Union and Webster counties, protested vigorously when the. code recently was formulated providing for $4.60 a day for seven hours work. HARRIMAN is a rather small city in Tennessee but it has presented the NRA with a troubling problem. The town depends largely on the Harriman Hosiery mills, and that concern was ordered to surrender its Blue Eagle because of charges that it had violated section 7A of the national recovery act. Within a few hours the whole town. was in revolt. Fifty-six merchants and other business men removed their Blue Eagtes and wired to Washington for instructions on what to do with them, eet a general wage increase’ at this time will hinder rather than aid in national economic recovery is the contention of the heavy goods industries, set forth in a report to General Johnson by George H. Houston, chairman of the durable goods industries committee, The report reasserts faith In the company union, approves of emergency price fixing and attacks the Wagner bill as encouraging industrial strife. A TIORNEY GENERALCUMMINGS feels that the forces of the Department of Justice are inadequate to cope with the gangsters, and will ask congress for about $2,000,000 in excess of the $28,700,778 authorized the department for the fiscal year 1935. Next year’s appropriation is the lowest granted the Justice department since the war. ' With the additional money the attorney general contemplates purchasing for the division’s agents a fleet of high-powered automobiles, a few armored cars and ample guns and ammunition. Likewise the force of investigators will be added to, and there is a possibility that the division’s 24 field offices will be increased. ' ye the senate committee on privileges and elections opened the hearings on the demands that Senators Huey P. Long and hig political follower, John H. 3 . Overton of Louisiana be deprived of their seats, the political groups that have been seeking especially to oust the “kingfish” remained in the background and left it to the women of Loulsiana to take the lead in .the, fight. ‘These women are headed by Mrs, Hilda Phelps Mrs. Hammond, who has Hammond been indefatigable in the campaign against Long and his crew. The women were represented ag counsel by Gen. Samuel T. Ansell, wartime acting judge advocate general, who has pending against Long a suit for libel. His opening statement dispelled the idea that Long’s opponents would be satisfied to let Overton remain in the senate if the “kingfish” were thrown out. “We expect to prove,” said General Ansell, “the charge that there wag fraud in the 1932 Louisiana primaries sufficient to vitiate the election of Senator Overton; that Senator Overton was an active perpetrator of that fraud; that Senators Overton and Long were designers and instigators of that fraud.” SAP aM H. WOODIN, who was President Roosevelt's first secretary of the treasury, has passed away, succumbing to the throat affection that forced his resignation from the cabinet last December, In his death the .country loses a business man of the highest type and a gentleman who had the respect and affection of all who knew him. He became president of the American Car and Foundry company in 1916, and also was president of the American Locomotive company. His interests were varied, for he was musician, composer, art well as leader in industry. He was long a personal friend of Mr. Roosevelt and, though a Republican, was one of the first selections for the ' President's cabinet and worked hard ! [7 XACTLY 86 years from the day Admiral Dewey destroyed the Spanish fleet in Manila bay, the legislature of the Philippines accepted the new offer of the United States for the independence of the islands as embodied in the Tydings-McDuffie act, Under the terms of the measure, the. Filipinos will obtain complete ‘independence in 1945, During the intervening years a commonwealth government, to be set up probably next year, will govern the islands. With acceptance of the act the Filipinos ‘ceased to be nationals of the United States and became subject to the rigid immigration laws. Only 50 may enter this country yearly. The status of an estimated 60,000 Filipinos in the United States as well as the international status of the entire island population during the transition pe riod remains in doubt, due to the wording of the measure. FrEDERAL agents belleve they have " uncovered a great ring of crooks for the handling of money derived from kidnapings, bank robberies and Swindles, They already have arrested a number of men and are hurrying to get others before they are put out of the way by members of the gang, as has been done before. The ring, it is said, has. been operating in Chicago, New York, St. Louis, Kansas City and other cities. One of the first men taken into custody was John J. McLaughlin, formerly a state legislator.and a political boss in Chicago, suspected of being a leader In the disposal of the “hot money.” The specific charge against him is conspiracy in the kidnaping of Edward Bremer, St, Paul banker, for whose release a ransom of $200,000 was paid. The federal agents were diligently searching for William Elmer Mead, a _ notorious. crook, who {ig thought te have directed the kidnapers. : McLaughlin confessed that he had handled some of the Bremer ransom money, and his son was arrested with part of it in his pocket. John J. McLaughlin HEN the administration’s bill for reduction of cotton production was under consideration its opponents argued in vain that it would work grievous injustice to thousands of tenant farmers and “croppers” in the South. Secretary of Agriculture Wallace now finds this prediction was well founded, his information coming from Dr. Calvin B, Hooker of Duke university whom he requested to make an investigation. Mr. Wallace now plans the establishment of a compliance tenants. At the same time the enforcement of cotton reduction contracts will be tightened to prevent farm owners from ousting tenant farmers and farm workers because of the reduced amount of production, e PEAKING to about two. million Germans at the Templehof airport outside of Berlin, Chancellor Hitler defiantly denied Germany’s war guilt and declared the reich has been a victim of the war. He warned the world again that Germany no longer was willing to accept discrimination against her by the former allied powers, and declared that day of “spineless submission” was at an end. Referring to his anti-Jewish policy, Hitler said: ° “Jewish writers sought to make the sickle and hammer (of Soviet Russia) the symbol of internationalism and they almost succeeded, but the Nazis make these tools again the symbol of the community, the farmer and the laborer.” M* ORITY and minority reports of the investigation into Dr. Wile liam A. Wirt’s “red plot” stories were made to the house, and they were just what had been expected. The majority of the committee held that Wirt’s charges were untrue and that his companions at the famous dinner party did not make the statements he had attributed to them. Representatives McGugin and Lehlbach, the Republican minority members of the committee characterized the investigation as a “repudiation of all precedents” and indicative of intentions to “suppress all information” which might directly ins volve the brain trust. UST before midnight of May 6, J George V began the taventy-fifth year of his reign as king of Great Britain, Ireland and the British dominions beyond the sea and emperor of India, By his own choice the anniversary wag not observed by especial ceremonies, but preparations are already under way for a celebration of his silver jubilee in 1935 that will rival that of Queen Victoria’s golden jubilee in 1887. In his 24 years on the throne George has earned the high esteem of the world and has proved himself a real leader and, in the minds of the British, all that a king should. be.

The move’ was caused by financial stress and a desire for others to see at first hand the valley Jack London knew and loved so well, F About 150,000 California high school and college graduates who have never been able tu land jobs are among the unemployed in this state, Vierling Kersey, state superintendent of public instruction, announced as -he voiced a plea to find work for the youths. Proposals recommending that all facts of the effects of alcohol and narcotics be included in the curriculum of the California Congress of Parents and Teachers were madc in Sacramento during their recent convention. They asked that the instruction be. “devoid of. emotion and propaganda.” Jeddu Krishnamurti, Hindu philosopher, returned to his -home in Ojai, Ventura county, recently, and intends to remain until his annual lecture series is ended in June. Krishnamurti, a pupil of Dr. Annie Besant, gathers his listeners in the hills of the Ojai valley, builds a huge campfire, and communes with them beneath the evening sky.
