He was unarmed. As the premier’s car left, the Royal- ist “King’s Henchmen” shouted: “France for the French! on to the Place de la Concorde! down with the assassins!” The great crowds massed around the cathedral threatened several times to sweep the police lines apart and, many times the police were on the point of charging into them. Every- lone held his ground there, however, and the clash came finally only when the shouting youths blocked the Place St. Michel and refused to move un- til they were driven off.

Declaring the measure provides for the most important commission ever created in the state, Godwin said that if the group digs deeply into the matter and develops a sane basis of taxation and “gets away from the insane method now in use in rais- ing revenue, it will have accomplish- ed something of tremendous import- ance.” He said an intelligent and scien- tific taxing system is planned and the best men available are wanted for the work. Reduction of the compensation would be “penny wise and pound foolish” in the opinion of William Schantz, Burleigh county Democrat, who said “you can't expect leaders in their profession to neglect their own business and sit indefinitely on this commission at $6 a day.” (Continued on Page Three) SARLES ASKS LEGAL ADVISE ON STATUS Baker Files Oath But Serves No Formal Demand on Moodie Appointee Earle Sarles of Hillsboro, still serv- ing as adjutant general of North Da- kota despite the fact that Frayne!

Such a hint was seen in the re- mark by Senator Fletcher (D-Fla.) that the “whole banking committee probably will want to handle the bill,” which he interpreted as giving the administration more control over credit and the issuance of currency. Fletcher is head of the senate bank- ing committee, of which the group headed by Glass is a sub-committee. Glass, conservative opponent of the bill which would widen the federal reserve board's » said he did not believe the reports that his com- mittee would not handle it. “When my sub-committee gets it, Til have something to say,” he had declared. Fletcher planned to introduce the bill into the senate Wednesday. It was drafted by officials of the treas- ury, federal reserve system and De- posit Insurance Corporation, but. bears only the partial endorsement of President Roosevelt. Glass maintained that Marriner 8. Eccles, governor of the federal re- serve board, had failed to keep a promise to show the bill to him be- fore anyone else saw it, though Eccles. said that through # mix-up, the bill was sent to congress without his knowledge and before he got a final draft himself. t Only Head Inside; | Motion Protested | o— The fine points of whether a representative is on the floor of the house if his head is within the railing surrounding the lower assembly came up for solution * | of Glass Obstinacy May Be Avoid-| LONDON CONFERENCE MAY MAKE EUROPEAN HISTORY \CLOSE COOPERATION [S SPEAKERS’ PLEA Address at ‘Just Fun’ Program Closer cooperation: between manu- facturer, wholesaler and retailer to. meet price competition and improve trade practices was urged by speak- ers Wednesday at the second day ses- ‘sions of the North Dakote Retail Hardware association's convention.

DEFENDS RICHBERG'S STAND IN DEFIANCE TO UNIONS’ DEMANDS Publishes Letter Declaring He . Will Determine If Board Should Continue ‘UNACCEPTABLE’ TO LABOR Ogburn, A. F. of L. Leader, Told Group Functions to Pre- vent Discrimination Washington, Feb, 6—()—The Am- erican Federation of Labor swung into its “big push” to organise the auto and steel industries Wednesday after President Roosevelt had taken a step widely regarded as a defense of Donald R. Richerg, target of A. F. of L. criticism. Taking a personal hand in the row over the auto code renewal, Presi- dent Roosevelt made public a letter in which he pointedly told the A. F. of L. counsel, Charles Ogburn, that “it is for the president to determine” whether the automobile labor board headed by Dr. Leo Wolman should be continued. The federation had been demand- ing that this board be scrapped. The A. F. of L. leaders had charged that the board’s employe elections and methods of collective bargaining were illegal. Ogburn called it “com- pletely unacceptable to labor” and said that when the A. F. of L. withdrew from an agreement under which it was set up, the board became legally non-existent, With TO HARDWARE MBN). secre, te Sam Clark to Make Principal] replied they wanted him to group rather than the governmé The president's letter told Ogburn government supervision, all employes are being given @ full and fatr oppore tion, said that the organization WAS | viduals, or as representatives oe labor organization.’ If the government should the board’s powers, Mr. Roosevelt said, “it would be placed in the posis jtion of preventing the employes from | voting.” Douglas also spoke earlier in the meeting on the “1935 Hardware Re- tailer's Sales Manual.” “Teamwork Between Wholesaler and FASTER ACTION BY “Obligations of the Manufacturer to the Wholesaler and Retailer” and, Retailer” were the two topics taken | up in question and answer discus- | oa A.
