Husby, who has been at political odds with Langer, also referred to the weighing and grading bill enacted oy the last legislature but vetoed by Jose. dent added, “is not content with; preachings against that vile form of collective murder—lynch law.” In a rebuke, softened only by his failure to mention names, Roosevelt condemned “those in high places or/ in low who condone lynch law.” Gov- ernor James Rolph of California re- cently gave verbal approval to the lynching of two kidnapers at San Judiciary in Bad Way The judicial function of govern- ment,” the - president reminded his Langer.

After a slump between the sum- mer flurry and the autumn lull, the all-important steel industry in the Pittsburgh area is showing an upturn on the strength of or- ders for rails, steel fastenings, - bolts and nuts. The H. C. Frick Coke company, which supplies coal for United States Steel Corporation mills, announced an increasing demand for fuel—a potent indicator of improvement in the for-weeks lackadaisical steel industry. The authority for betterment in the foodstuffs line is the H. J. Heinz company, one of the larg- ° est producers of canned and pre- pared foods. LIVESTOCK RAISERS VARY IN VIEWS ON GOVERNOR'S ACTION Farmers Express Enthusiasm, Doubt and Opposition Following Move A mixture of enthusiasm, opposition and “watchful waiting” characterized comments of North Dakota livestock raisers Thursday as they studied Gov.

Wright, Homer township, Stutsman county: “I think it is a good thing. You might as well kill them and leave them in a coulee as sell at present prices.” Rev. C. F. Strutz, Jamestown: ! am convinced stock raisers are not getting cost of production any more than wheai producers and I think the embargo is justifiable.” Should Refuse to Sell Stanley Ripley, Stutsman county, raiser of Herefords: “Today the live- stock dollar is worth about half the wheat dollar and if an embargo on wheat is justifiable, there is greater reason for one on livestock. It should act be necessary to put on an embar- so. Farmers should refuse to sell at these prices.” Sam Crabbe, Fargo, president of the Jersey Cattle association: “I haven't given the matter much study. 2ut I can't see how North Dakota farmers can gain. It seems to be en- tirely an interstate embargo. That ¢oesn't say anything about our North Dakota packing plants.” Mark » Cass county live-; stock feeder: “It’s about as good as/| the wheat embargo.

Johnson, NRA chief. The new step was announced by the White House shortly after George N. Peek, farm administrator wor! under Wallace, was reported to have said that he would resign unless “radical members of the ‘brain trust’” left the agricultural adjustment ad- ministration alone. As a result of a visit Peek made to the White House and presidential talks with Wallace and Johnson, it ‘was decided that all codes under or oefore the AAA, except those involy- ing persons who actually process farm. commodities, would be transferred to the NRA. Biggest of these, Wallace said be- fore making his survey, would be that covering wholesale and retail food Transfer Is Natural dealers. “The wholesale and retail dry ;meat was issued Wednesday and Ied|goods dealers are already under NRA,” Wallace said, “so this transfer is just natural. I haven't any idea now many other codes will be involved until I check.” He added, however, that although nis department would be willing to give up the porters’ code, he merely a “matter of convenience.” Wallace and Rexford G. Tugwell, assistant secretary, conferred with NRA to handle the food codes there. Later Roosevelt had a luncheon con- ference with Peek. Asked after the white House con- ference if Peek would go over to the national recovery administration to take over these codes, Wallace smiled and replied: “You can’t tell about that—you will have to speculate.” Eyeing Tugwell by his side Wallace said: “All of us have the same ob- Jectives—to get a fair share of income to the farmer. I think George and Rex see eye to eye on that.” Asked if Peek and Tugwell agreed on methods to obtain this objective, Wallace replied: “Everyone has dif- ferent methods.” Tugwell said he was not resigning.
