Norris, Independent Re- publican Senator of Nebraska, last night called upon labor to oppose the reelection of President Hoover, in an address which vigorously criticised the “unrelenting Admin- istration’s opposition to the Nor- ris anti-injunction bill.” The Nebraskan accused the Re- publican machine with falsely claim- ing for the Chief Executive, credit for its enactment. The address here was the second one in behalf of the candidacy of Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt for President. Was Up to Hoover Referring to the Norris anti- injunction bill again, Senator Nor- ris said: “If the President wanted to pass this legislation so he could honestly claim credit for its enactment, one hint from the| White House and the fight would have been ended.” Senator Norris also charged a Federal Judgeship was offered to Donald Richberg, attorney for the labor interests, at a conference in Washington with Secretary of La- bor Doak, over the Norris anti- injunction bill before it became a law, as a compromise with Rich- berg for not pressing legislation at that time.

Doak, Secretary of Labor de- scribed as utterly false, the asser- tio.. in Cleveland last night by Senator Norris, that Doak suggest- ed “he might be able to exert a great deal of influence” to obtain a Federal Judgeship for Donald Richberg, attorney for the labor interests. Senator Norris, in his address, said Doak’s suggestion was made while Doak was conferring with Richberg on the Norris anti-in- junction bill before it was enacted a law.

Interest in creating a national park or wild-life preserve in this region has crystalized about Admiralty Island.
