THE WASHINGTON “NEW DEAL”
BY RODNEY DUTCHER
The Banner-Herald Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON — The Agrict‘xltural Administra
tion—which houses more brains than any other fed
eral emergency agency—is all steamed up-
The AAA fellows. supercilious toward the hell
bent NRA crowd, expects to achieve something thus
fan impossible for NRA. They will demand of an
irdustry:
“Tell us everything about your costs and profits
if you want help.”
Secretary Wallace has invited proof from cotton
textile manufdcturers who say the 4% cents process
ing tax on cotton has forced cotton goods to such
high prices that they can’'t be sold’
The profiteering issue will be publicly aired. AAA’g
trained economists are studying alleged cost pyra
midings - and increases of wholesale cotton goods of
up to 50 pen cent. They expect to have the indus
try on the defensive from the start. ?
The industry reached an all-time production peak
in July, aftes speeding to beat the NRA code, with
its higher labor costs, and the tax. Now. when its
tremendous output isn't bought at advanced prices,|
some manufacturers blame AAA. The AAA ob-l
jects to being singled out in preference to NRA
and doubts whether there's a legitimate complaintl
anywhere.
Wallace can modify the tax, but won't yield with
out dollars and cents proof. g i
Dr. Fred C. Howe, AAA consumers’ counsel. has
checked cotton goods retail prices and will providel
Wallace with ammunition, He says the processing
tax factor ig 3% cents in a 78-cent work shirt, and
only 8 cents in either a $1.26 pair of overalls o
a $1.13 shirt, o
NRA, which uses the blue eagle on its stationery,
works its employes anywhere from eight to 14 hours
a day. You hear more and more Wwisecracks about
this, and eventually something may be done about
it. Meanwhile, many recently dismissed government
clerks walk the streets looking for work.
A sub-official who manages to aveid long hours,
says jauntily:
“The people who will yun this place next year ar
the ones who are getting their sleep now.” : l
Harry Hayden, once associated with the famous
Senator Penrose and more lately secretary to EX
ecutive Secretary Bob Lucas of the G.O.P. national
committee (the villain of the George W. Norris
plot) continues to make comfortable landings, de
spite a Republican background.
He is secretary to T. Dwight Webb, Tennes
member of the Home Loan Board, and exerts a lot
of influnce. it Gt :
Ever hear of “volunteer wheat"? It's one of the
minor problems of the AAA in that organization’s
wheat allotment campaign and s what they call
wheat which has not been sown, but resultg from a
lot of grains being spilled and blown around.
Somgtimes such a crop amounts to eight or ten
bushels. Indiang can’t understand why Uncle Sam
won’t ‘count “volunteer wheat' when he allots.
Senator Millard Tydings, whose state of Manyland |
is so near that he has many job-hunting vlsitors..
has stuck this sign on his office door: i
“This eoffice receives requests son 100 interviews
daily. It receives over 300 lettrs daily. ?
“Due to these conditions we will have to ask per-|
sons making calls to come in between 10 a.m. and|
12 noon. After that the office will be closed, and|
all day on Saturday. This is the only way we can|.
keep up with the work and have time to act on the
requests made of us.” 3 ! ‘
General Johnson isn’t the only “tough baby” hare.
Perhaps he isn’t ‘even the tougest. |
Burly Jon L. Lewis, president of the United Mine|
Workers, is a contender, Lewis has bullied and|
bulldezed his way through a career of absolute pow
er in his big union, ruthlessly suppressing every
hint of opposition. Lately he has signed up about
300,000 new members.
He walked over to Johnson the other day, shook|
his big finger under Johnson’s nose and told the NRA
administrator: Y
“Section Seven-A is all labor got out of the re
covery act. You're not going to whittle it away!”
The Labor Advisory Board was suddenly proving
itself a whole bunch of tough babies. The group
had Johnson on the spot after his public proime to
“interpret” the act's labor eclause i an attempt to
clarify the open and closed shop controversy.
Remembering Johnson’s past open shop affiliations
the labor men figured the “interpretation’ wouldn’t
do their cause much good. They felt it might help
the automobile and coal industries get an open shop
expression in their codes. .
Johnson wanted to know why they felt that way.
Pregident Green of the A. F, of L. said he re
alized Johnson was under much pressure from man
ufacturers. :
“I'm full of pressures!” Johnson exciaimed. “Get
pressures from everybody. I'm a ve.y stubborn
fellow.” .
But he promised that he would not say anything
that would affect labor’s position under the recovery
act in any way. (One of his pressures was the
threat by Lewis of a national coal strike.)
The interpretation finally issued jointly by John
son and Chief Counsel Donald Richberg formally,
erased the terms “open shop™ and “closed shop”
from the NRA official vocabulary.
" But the issue—as it was and will be—ought to be
defined. A “closed shop” is a plage where only
union men are hired., An “open shop” technically
fs a place where anyone may be hired.
Employers argue that an open shop gives them
the privilege of hiring capable men on merit, re
gardless of whether they have union membership.
But labor says it always works out so that open
shop employers discharge union men and hire non
union workers. That prevents the building up of a
union in the plant.
The only important new thing in the Johnson-
Richberg document, which nearly everyone has‘
overlooked, is the NRA’s promise, in cases where
questions arises ag to whether empioyes are being
represented by represntgtives of their own choosing,
to offer an impartial investigation, an@ if necessary
a secret ballot.
That means the NRA will act on legitimate com
plaints that labor isn’t getting its righs as guaran
teed by the act. Steel and some other industries
are likely to be held up in the light of public opin-|
ion as refusing T 6 accept the offer of inmvestigation. |
The National Labor Board already . has’ settled’
two strikes by . threatening employers with a public
statement to the effect that workers had accep‘ted'
and the employer had refused a settlement through
a fair, NRA-supervised secret election.
Richberg, who has been something of a tough
baby himself during the open shop controversy,

MEETING THE ACID TEST
. The call to arms has been sounded by
President Roosevelt and General Johnson,
administrator of the recovery act, for all
loyal Americans to volunteer in the cam
paign for carrying the recovery movement
to a successful conclusion. As President
Roosevelt has so aptly said: “that he
could not make it work, but the American
people could”. Therefore, it is up to the
people to restore confidence, relieve the
unemployed situation and bring prosperity
back to this country.
[ Now is the time to face the test; it is
upon us and the success of the recovery
program rests entirely in the hands of the
people. If they are determined to carry out
the plan as outlined by the administration
it will succeed, but if they falter, the plan
will fail. The project is a potential under
taking, but the rehabilitation and restora
tion of normal conditions will not be of
guch importance and hardships as were
experienced by the people of the South
after the close of the War Between the
States. Hungry and ragged, the soldiers
of the Southreturned to their
homes to find a devastated country; with
out money and without hope of abrighter
day ahead, these brave men and women
soughtt to rebuild that which had been de
stroyed. How well they succeeded is
shown by the development of farm lands,
and building of towns and cities. That ex
perience was a greater task than the pres
ent recovery program. ‘
Postmaster-General Farley, in an ad
dress is quoted as saying: |
“There is no politics in this movement.
There is no desire for either a party or a
partisan advantage. Humanity, justiceand
patriotism know no party, race or creed.
It is an American movement. President
Roosevelt has in mind every class and con
dition of men, women and children. |
+ “The NRA movement is a new declara
tion of independence for business to man
age its own affairs under ethical codes, to
promote social justice between employer
and employe, and to open up new fields
for initiative and efficiency.
“Is a new charter of rights and protec
tion to labor and a new guarantee of de
cent living conditions in America.”
Our people realize that something must
be done; they are willing to do their “bit”,
and when that is done, success will at
tend their efforts. In this great battle for
economic supremacy over the stagnated
condition of all limes of business and in
dustry, every citizen should show that
}never-dying spirit, typical of the south,
which contribvted so much to the build
ling of the nation. .
NO BREAK BETWEEN MOLEY |
- AND HULL
The newspapers of the country havel
been carrying stories daily since the resig
nation of Professor Moley, Assistant Sec
retary of State, was announced, intimat
ing that a break had occurred between
the Secretary and Assistant Secretary of
State. This rumor, however, has been de
nied by Secretary Hull and President
Roosevelt. That should be sufficient to
stop all such unwarranted rumors arising,
no doubt, from a Republican source.
Professor Moley has long been a friend
of President Roosevelt; since the inaugu
ration and prior to that time, President
Roosevelt drafted him as one of his ad
visers and the chief of the socalled ‘“‘brain
trust”, Rumor has it that Professor MOS!
Visiteé President Roosevelt on his yaght
and from there he sailed for England and
joined the delegates in conference there.
It is alleged that his “butting-in” caused
a break with Secretary Hull which could
not be ironed out, notwithstanding Moley’s
'friend,ship and relations with President
Roosevelt. That may be true and it may
not be true, but Vincent Astor, a relative
of President Roosevelt states most posi
tively that the matter of publishing a
magazine by him with Professor l\goley
as editor had been planned for months,
even before the inauguration of President
Roosevelt and that the resignation from
the office of Assistant Secretary of State
was in no wise caused from a break with
Mr. Hull, '
The proposed publication will be made
a National Weekly; Democratic in policy
and friendly to the present administration.,
In a statement issued by Secretary Hull,
it was stated that Professor .Moley’s resig
nation was a surprise to him, and that
he wishes his understudy every success.
The statements issued by the parties in
terested declaring that no disagreemente
or break had occurred between the princi
pals should be sufficient to satisfy the
most curious of the gossip lovers of scan
dal, political or otherwise.
C. C. C. FOR ATHENS
President Roosevelt has ordered all Civ
illian Conservation Camps, located in the
eastern and western states, moved to the
south on account of the hard winters in
those sections of the country.
These camps are made up of 212 en
listed men and about a half-dozen army
officers. There are several desirable tracts
of forest lands near Athens that would
make ideal camps. It is believed that if
the proper effort is made one or more of
these camps can be secured for thisseetion,
tributary to Athens. With the Chamber
of Commerce sponsoring the movement,
backing up Congressman Paul Brown,
there will be no doubt of the effort receiy
ing favorable consideration from the gov
ernment authorities. However, immediate
action 'should be taken; other sections and
other states in the south are pressing their
claims for these camps which are now be
ing located and preparation for moving
from the northern states to the south is
now underway. '

THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
DID IT EVER
OCCUR TO YOU - -
A Little—gf——E;erything,
Not Much of Anything
Well, it seems that the
Eighteenth Amendment is doom
~ ed for repeal. With twenty
~ four states voting on the sta
tus of the dry law, the results
have been unanimous for re
peal.
The action of twelve more states
favoring the repeal, is necessary
to remove the Amendment from
the TFederal Constitution. From
reports being received from states
yet to act, it is’ beiiéved that not
one of them will "vote favorably
for the Amendment.. On account
of the obnoxious manner in which
the prohibition law has been en
forced, it was brought into- disre
pute with not only the anti-pro
hibition element, ' but thoge who
had favored the dry law when it
became a constitutional amend
ment. The people of America, or
at least a majority, believe,jn tem
perance, and that reason caused a
revolution of sentiment againstthe
so-called prohibition law. ‘
Under the present law, the |
bootlegging industry, one of
the most profitable businesses
in the country, has been cre
ated and brought on the or
ganization of the underworld.
The underworld, in the Ilarge
cities of the nation, has in a great
measure, controlled the municipal
ities insofar as law enforcement
is concerned. Racketeers have
congtituted themselves an invisi
ble government defying the con
stituted authorities and the laws
of the state and nation., With the
repeal of he Eighteenth Amend
ment, the lawless element will be
eiiminated and the governments
will be given back to the people
and their official representatives.
Besides the repeal of the Eight
eenth Amendment is a party mat
ter and is a plank in the Demo
cratie platform, adopted in. Chi
cago, on which President Roosevelt
wasg elected. I
From the present outlook,
the Eighteenth Amendment
will be repealed before the
~ people of Georgia will have an {
opportunity of expressing their
ch ice. ; “
It is understood that at the next
session of the legislature, a bill
will be introduced providing for
the repeal of the bone dry law.
Whether the bill will have a refer
endum attached to it is not known,
but should the members of the
general assembly decide to x'efgr
the question to a vote of the peo
ple, there would be nodouht of the
electlon resulting in the saver of
the repeal of the present law.
While the people of Georgla have
never heen given an opportunity
to vote on the question, the abso
lute failure off the law in this state
| would insyre its repeal. . .
The next session of the leg
islature is bound to be cne
of history making. Not npoly
will the election for represen
tatives and senators be of un
usual interest; but the issues
involved will sstir the people
of the state.
Governor Talmadge has called
upon the voters of Georgia te elect
members to the senate sympathe
tic with hid administration and his
policies. It may be expected that
this issue will be paramount in
every district in the state. Much,
however, will depend upon the re
sult of the present highway squab
ble in the Supreme Court. If the
governor wins, it will be ‘good
njght” for Capfain |Barnetf, but
on the other hand, should Captain
Barnett win out, well that would
bring about a different aspect and
a problem, that when solved,
might ‘chang=s the lineup in this
state to a- considerable degree.
The verdict, of a Haralson
county jury, in favor of Chair
man J. J. Mangham was ex
pected. Now the case can be
carried to the Supreme Court
by Captain Barnett, ousted
chairman. :
+ Just what the decision of the
Supreme < Court judges will be is
a matter of mere speculation, but
the attorneys and friends of the
ousted chairman are hopeful of his
success. However it will likely be
several weeks before a decision is
handed down. The Supreme Court
is now in vacation and will not
convene until October. The case,
however, will go up as a “fast”
case which gives it precedent over
other cases. The fact that Cap
tain Barnety has lost in several
cases, both federal and statc
courts, does not in any manner re
flect a disadvantage in the hear
ing of the legal points involved
before the judges of the Supreme
Court of Georgia.
