They Know Better Challenge to the very fundamen- tals of American government is con- tained in the charges being hurled by some politicians against the recent action in federal court here in which | William Langer was convicted of; conspiracy against the government. Direct statements and insinuations that the trial was one of persecution | and that the court, by inference, lent itself to a nefarious scheme, strike at the very vitals of the American plan of things. For upon the purity and integrity of the courts depends) the rights and liberties of every citi-| zen. If, as charged, the federal court | ‘was unfair to Langer, a man in high position and backed by tremendous sums of money, then there would be) no chance whatever for the average | man, without influence and with modest funds at best. | ‘The facts, of course, are far dif-| ferent from those which political sup- porters of Mr. Langer would infer. He had a fair trial and every oppor- tunity to present whatever evidence he could muster in defense of the conspiracy charge, or of his actions in office which led to the indictment. The simple and inescapable fact is that he confessed the charges against him in all but one detail. He admit- ted the extortion of money from state | ‘and federal employes and that some of it went into his own pocket. He admitted speculating on the grain market with the explanation that it ‘was a part of his “system of farm- ing,” an explanation which also could be made by Arthur Cutten, the na- tion’s most notorious grain specula- ter, who not only owns but lives on @ large farm near Chicago. ‘The truth is that speakers such as 00 |4ays, or 29,541,666 weeks’ work.

Their assumption that certain in- terests are seeking to oust farmers from their homes is just another way of accusing those interests of wishing to commit suicide.

His concern for the farmers has never been equalled by his con- cern for himself, for Bonzer is human enough to be as selfish as the next Tt becomes necessary, therefore, to Jook deeper for the source of his con- eern for the Langer administration.

How many men have been given work? Ickes is careful not to say, because he feels that any estimate on that basis would be misleading. You might say, for instance, that two mil- lion men had received employment. But if they all worked one week and then were laid off, that wouldn't be much work, after all. 80 Ickes makes his estimate on hours of work provided. There were “1,418,000,000 hours of honest work at honest wages on direct construc- tion site employment only to men who otherwise would have passed those hours in the ranks of the idle.” That means 177,250,000 eight-hour it means 20 weeks’ work for nearly @ million and a haif men. Almost as much again is assured in coming months from allotments already made, and it is further estimated that two hours of indirect work is, provided in producing the materials for these jobs for every hour actually put in them directly. So the PWA administration has provided a vast amount of work, and in the heavy and construction indus- tries chiefly, where it was most needed. In the main, the huge fund seems to have been spent for projects of value to the public, and without administrative scandal.

Quacks, near- doctors, trick doctors, osteopaths, or physician-surgeons who are off color, of shady repute or without standing, that is, without membership in the local county medical society, are not admitted or wanted.

Deadly Peril Lurks in Packers’ Agreement, But It’s Dis- covered ... Boot Is Applied in ae wr. BY RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington dent) Washington, June 21.—The billion- dollar baking industry's squawk at the NRA bakers’ code as amended by President Roosevelt's executive’ order has been widely construed as the first defiance of a code by a major in- dustry. Don’t take it too seriously. Everything will come out more or Jess all right and there'll be no mighty test of strength between the admin- istration and private industry. President Henry Stude of the Na- tional Bakers’ Council was peeved. He was especially peeved by weeks of delay in getting the code a) by General Johnson. He had had &) terrible time getting 25,000 bakers— ranging from huge baking corpora- tions to tiny corner storekeepers—or- ganized for code purposes. Delay had caused some disorganiza- tion. The delay was largely caused by a fight over wages and hours. Stude was further peeved because Johnson's office had prepared the White House executive order staying the code’s ban on prizes and premi- ums for bread sale promotion, elim- inating the five-day open-price wait- ing period, and reopening the labor provisions for 90 days. So Stude wrote Roosevelt that the Council couldn't take respon- sibility as a code authority for enforcement and bitterly com- plained that bakers were paying millions for processing taxes, in higher material prices creased wages which they couldn't charge to the consumer in high- er prices. ‘That gave Dr. Fred Howe, AAA 90-day period. against a code and no crackdown. T. Fix of Philadelphia revealed that. Fix, appointed through efforts of De- mocratic Boss Joe Guffey of Penn- sylvania, gets the axe along with other officials of his office, accused of levying 5 per cent on salaries of employes. (Republicans used to) charge them but 3%.) Minor recommendations by the commission for action have been turned down, even under the New Deal. Usually they've involved & first “shakedown” instance to be put up to this administration—and Mor- genthau and Roosevelt decided it shouldn't be hushed up.
