A proposal to bring suit against the Government in an effort to clarify the law pertaining to Saturday half holi- days for Federal employes received favorable consideration last night at & special executive council meeting of the Federal Bar Association, although action on the matter was deferred until the fate of a pending bill providing for year-round half holidays can be learned. Suit Will Aid President. Speakers at the, meeting, held in the Department of Interior Building stressed the fact that they had no in tention of attempting to antagonize th administration through ~the D test_suit. They pointed out that the Tesult of such a suit would undoubtedly - sid the President in ruling on the half holidays, which, it was said, are al- Teady authorized by existing law. One worker offered to sbsent him- gelf on a Saturday afternoon and sue for his pay if the association would supply council. The cost of such a suit, however, may cause the association to_abandon the plan. William R.

Esti- :!‘(;fi'o placed the crowd as at least Besides defining his own ideas of Americanism, Mr. Hoover demanded political and economic equality for all people. He demanded clean govern- ment, obedience to law, and freedom from either pacifism and militarism, and warned against the dangers of Bolshevism, radicalism, anarchy and despotism. Again he urged the citizens to do their duty by exercising their rights of franchise, reminding them that their ballot is the only. protection they have against class and minority rule and to preserve the principles of this Government. Tmportant Battle. Referring to the Battle of Kings Mountain, the President said “it was a was of mighty portent. History,” he declared, “has done scant justice to its significance, which rightly should place it beside Lexington and Bunker Hill, Trenton and Yorktown as one of the crucial engagements in our long strug- gle for independence.” ‘Tracing the development of American spirit, the Chief Executive told of the strenuous stimuli which had spurred Americans to their present “philosophy of society,” and declared that a score of nations have borrowed this philoso- phy to prosper thereby. Sharp contrast was drawn by Presi- dent Hoover between the American sys- tem, Bolshevism and Socialism. “In the American system,” he said, “through free and universal education we train the runners, we strive to give to them an equal start—our Government is the umpire of its fairness. The winner is he who shows the most conscientious training, the greatest ability, the strong- est character. “Socialism, or its violent brother, bolshevism,” declared the President, “would compel all the runners to end the race equally; it would hold the swiftest to the speed of the most back- ward. Anarchy would provide neither training nor umpire. Despotism, or class government, picks those who run and those who win. Religion Is Necessary. “It is significant,” continued Mr. Hoover, “that some of these systems deny religion and seek to expel it. I cannot conceive of a wholesome social order or sound economic system that does not have its root in religious “No blind materialism can for engage the loyalties of mankind.

However, this was the only prearranged demonstration. Representative Jonas, who was elected | durin during the Hoover landslide two years ago and who is a candidate to succeed himself, had asked the President to stop there for a few moments, pre- sumably as a gesture in support of his campaign.

At High Point, Con- cord, Greensboro, Danville and several other places there were masses of peo- ple at the station. At Danville, on the return trip, the President talked with one of the strik- ing cotton mill workers during the three-minute stop there. It was dark at the time, but & hun- dred or so persons were gathered about the rear of the train. Mr. Hoover went to the platform of his car in response to calls and, supposedly for something of interest to say to these men of Dan- ville now participating in the big cot- ton mill strike, he asked, “How's the strike coming along?” Striker Talks Freely. ‘The man at whom he was looking at the time he asked this happened to be one of the strikers.

The President thanked him for that and commended him and his fellow strikers for being orderly in carrying on their dispute with the mill owners. The President did not retire until after 11 o'clock, and despite the ordeal of having delivered three speeches in two days, as well as the two days of train riding and waving and bowing, he professed to be not in the least tired. Mr. Hoover's reaction to the series of demonstrations in the South was in- teresting. It did not take him long to warm up to them and it was plain to be seen that he gave way to his emotions and entered into all of it with Teal spirit. There was emotion in his responses, and, too, there was emotion of the deepest sort in those patriotic and mupmn; words that he uttered on the slopes of Kings Mountain. Mrs. Hoover, too, came in for her share of all this acclaim. At several of these stops flowers were presented to her.

Narrowing the scope of its immediate inquiry, the Senate Campaign Funds Investigations Committee has deter- mined to concentrate before the No- vember election on the States of Ne- braska, Tennessee and North Carolina. Inquiries in several other States, in- cluding Illinois and Pennsylvania, will be resumed, however, after the elec- tlon and possibly some new ones will be undertaken then. Expenditures in the Democratic sen- atorial primary races will occupy the committee in Tennessee and North Carolina, while in Nebraska the Senate Investigators will delve further into the attempt of George W. Norris, Broken Bow grocer, to run for the Republican senatorial nomination against Senator George W. Norris. Chairman Nye explained after a sesslon yesterday that the committee would be unable to gnter Colorado be- fore the election because of the lack of time and money. That State was added to those which will be on the list for study after election. There was no definite decision on the program for the North Carolina, Tennessee and Nebraska hearings pend- ing a study of the reports of the North Carolina_investigators by Senator Pat- terson, Republicn, Missouri.
