HE best economy joke of the Summer season is the one about the farm boys who fell among the city slickers. The administration feul- tural reliefers needed about $50,000.000 to finance cotton operations. They wanted it for 60 to 90 days. They went to the R. F. C.. but found they would have to pay 4 per cent. That was too high, so they went shopping in Wall street. There they fell among bankers. Two banks were particularly nice to them, agreeing it was outrageous to charge 4 per cent, for 60-day paper. They could not swing fifty millions, but offered around thirty millions at a little more than half the interest demanded by the R.F.C. Some say the rate was 23y per cent. (The exact figures are hard to gel because mo one cares to talk very much about it mow.) At any rate the deal was made on approrimately that basis. The farm boys felt rather proud. ‘They prepared publicity claiming & saving around $50,000 in interest. ‘The | publicity was never issued. The Treas- | ury heard about it first. The Treasury has been getting all| the short-term money it wants at one- quarter of 1 per cent. They have not| paid more than one-half of 1 per cent in ages. i'M your The inner tumult was well concealed.

Recently some one brought up the Teas- ury Secretary., He crushed his cig: “It will not happen again.” Iv won't. The laugh is not all on the farm boys, however. The Treasury has Yeen Known to make an error itself now and then. Consider the recent embarrassment of some officials in charge of banks. They sent out the usual national bank call. It required each mational bank to submit its condition. All responded except 38. The officials could not understand | such an affront to the authority of national banking officials. No bank be- fore had dared to ignore the summons. The 38 Were Closed. So the officlals sat down and wrote | of the offenders. It read like a note from & landlord to a tenant whose rent is three months overdue. That brought | results The missing 38 responded that they had been closed since the bank holi- day. The Morgans are quietly turning the Senate investigation to their own pur- poses. = ‘% — N AN They recently sent broadcast through | the mails a circular containing selected statements made by J. P. Morgan and associates before the Investigating Committee. None of Prosecutor Peco- ra’s questioning is included. Only | favorable Morgan material is used. One of the first to receive a copy was R. H. Sparkman. He happens to be a secretary of the Investigating Committee. That seemed to be a bad faur pas om the part of the Morgan publicity men. Perhaps not. Later copies were addressed to Chair- man Fletcher and other members of the committee. Louis M. Howe is the man behind the Federal kidnaping drive.

No one ever did that before. Advertising agents have been jump- ing at the opportunity for exploitation offered by N. R. A. Some have jumped too far and may be called by Gen.

CRIME DRIVE Nation-Wide Campaign Sought by Arousing Public Opinion. Plans for & nation-wide drive on crime by arousing public opinion in support of law enforcement agencies were made yesterday at a meeting of the Steering Committee of the Natinoal Council of ‘76 of the United States Association. Details of the movement will be an- nounced and the drive launced at a convention of the council here the middle of September. An organization reaching into every county, city and town of the Nation is the present aim. Hurley Is Chairman. Patrick J. Hurley, former Secretary of War, is chairman of the Councli, which also has an its rolls the presi- dents of natlonal, civic and pétriotic organizations, including the American Federation of Labor, the American Bar Association, the General Federation of Women's Clubs, the Boy Scouts of America, the National Education As- sociation and the Congress of Parents and Teachers. The Steering Committee includes Senator Royal S. Copeland, A. Mitchell Palmer, Mrs. John Allan Dougherty, Mrs. Oliver Harriman, William Green, Representative James W. Wadsworth, Newbold Noyes, Grover A. Whalen and Col. James A. Moss, president general of the United States Flag Assoclation, of which President Roosevelt is the holl;;)rnry ptljesldent general. Teporting on progress made since the “Declaration of Freedom From Crime,” promulgated by the Flag As- soclation July 4, Col. Moss said: “The organization of the National Council of '76 has Been practically com- gl':'td and chairmen of a number of te councils have been appointed. In addition, more than 200 outstanding men and women have been recommend- ed by their Congressmen for appoint- ?‘ep;a'uvs chairmen of Distriét Councils Addressed by Keenan. The meeting yesterday was addressed by Joseph B. Keenan, special Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Gov- ernment’s war racketeering, who pledged a ruthless drive on organized crime. “We need very active, united organ- ized support of people of the country who are fully aroused to the present conditions and wej belleve that the United States Flag Association is fully equipped and the logical organization to attain this co-operation of the peo- ple, to tell them just what conditions are and to make the war on crime many times more effective and speedy by effectively organizing this aroused public sentiment. “The entire resources of the United States Government through its De- partment of Justice are behind this movement to wipe out these enemies of American ideals, and you may de- pend upon it that no stone will be left unturned to bring about & speedy and successful result.” In conjunction with the council’s drive there will be a series of weekly anti-crime radio broadcasts through the facilities of the National Broad- casting Co.. starting Monday, August 14. Natlonally prominent persons, in- cluding Attorney General Cummings and Mr. Hurley, are to speak. Literature Being Prepared. Booklets and other literature now are being prepared for distribution to the members of the organization. One of the publications discloses facts con- cerning the spread of crime and points out ways in which indiidual eitizens can most effectively do their part to- ward checking and eradicating rack- eteering “Every racketeer could be stopped at the beginning of his career if local laws were enforced,” Mr. “People can have the kind of government they desire. They can compel officials to enforce the law or retire from office. “The atrocious kidnaping racket has fattened on ransoms extorted from flesh and blood of children. Public opinion has been aroused by these kid- naping cases, but kidnaping is but one of many rackets. Rings in all lines— usurers, profiteers, grafters and extor- tionists—all composed of men who obey neither the dictates of common decency, nor the laws of their States, could not continue in their nefarious business if local laws were enforced.” 'DRUGGAN ACCORDED UNDUE LIBERTIES; THREE SUSPENDED __ (Continued From First Page)__ truck he was permitted by the guard to call at several places in the city of Hurley told the | CONTRACT LABOR TERMS T0 STAND Richbery Ruling Paves Way to Large Employers’ Part in Recovery Program. —(Continued Prom First Page) and vice president of the Standard Oil Co. of California, denouncing the pend- ing code &s one not carrying out the views of the “liberal administration.” Like many other ofl leaders he was de- manding that the Government approve of rules for fixing ofl prices, In rullug that the Recovery Agmin- istration could not attempt to abrogate union contracts, Richberg inted out that the pa; ph in President Roose- velt’s blanl agreement proposing “equitable readjustments,” of the higher brackets of pay and no reduc- tlons applied to wages based upon days, Wweeks or months and not hours. Under the interpretation, if an em- ployer has a contract providing that he give a specific number of hours em- ployment weekly, 24 for instance, at a specified rate per hour, he would not be compelled to change it. However, if the contract related merely to pay per hour without specifying the number of hours of employment to be given, Rich- verg sald the employer would be ex- pected to come within the maximum hour provision as a means of spreading employment. Contracts Must Stand. “We are faced with a flat fact” Richberg said. “We can't abrogate contracts. and we can't deny an em- ployer who has & contract arrived by collective bargaining the right to use the blue eagle.” The paragraph to which the inter- pretation applies in the agreement with the employer, reads: “Not to reduce the compensation for employment now in excess of the mini- mum wages hereby agreed to (notwith- standing that the hours work in such employment may be hereby reduced) and to increase the pay for such em- ployment by an equitable readjustment of all pay schedules.” ‘The interpretation issued today reads: “Paragraph 7 prevents the reduction of compensation in excess of the mini- mum, whether it is pald by the hour, day. week or month. “Therefore, an employe previously paid by the day, week or month, wiil recelve as much for the shorter day, week or month. “An employe previously paid by the hour will receive as much per hour, but &s shortening his hours will reduce his actual earnings per day or week, his compensation per hour is to be in- creased by an equitable readjustment. Formula Is Suggested. “There s no fixed rule which can be applied to determine what is an equi- table readjustment. In general, it will be equitable to figure what the employe would have earned at his previous rate per hour in & normal week in the in- dustry, and then to increase the hourly Tate so &s to give him substantially the same compensation as he would have gotten for that normal week “But consideration must be given to other factors, including: Is the existing rate high or low compared with the : average rate paid in the industry? Wil the résulting adjustment result in an unfair competitive advantage to other employers or other trades or industries? Will & long-standing wage differential be lost if there is no increase in the existing rate? “Where au employer is boum?‘by the terms of a contract with a labor or- ganization entered into as the result of bonafide collective bargaining and he is unable to affect a change in such contract by agreement in order to com- y with the terms of the President’s re-employment agreement, he may cer- tify his compliance with the Piesident’s agreement with the following exception ‘Except as required to comply with the terms of agreements between the under- signed and (name of labor organiza- tion).* Contract Must Be Filed. “It should be understood that this ex- ception can be made only in the case of a contract not subject to change at the discretion of the employer and then only after a certified copy of the con- tract has been filed with the National Recovery Administration and its ap- proval has been given to the exception stated.” Gen Johnson's attempt to settle the Pennsylvania coal strike was post- poned untfl late today after the in- dustrial administrator had called the spokesmen of the conflicting interests and Gov. Pinchot into conference this morning.

The warden of the penitentiary, it added, contended the undue liberties were permitted without his sanction and agalnst his direction. The department did not say from whom the confidential information had been received, but in & statement sald: “Acting upon confidential informa- tion, the Bureau of Prisons, Department of Justice, dispatched an assistant direc- tor to Leavenworth penitentiary annex to investigate statements that Terrence Druggan, former so-called beer baron, | serving a sentence of two and one-half years, was being afforded improper privileges.

Sought to Gain Privileges. “It appears that from the time of the arrival of Druggan at the Leavenworth annex he has sought to gain exemptions and privileges, through influence or otherwise. Some of his requests have been communicated to the Bureay of medwns and have invariably been de- nied. “The department was surprised, there- fore, to learn recently that he had been made a trusty, driving the institution's truck. Upon the withdrawal of this privilege, he again sought to receive preferential treatment.

Bishop Burleson died from angina while on a vacation visit to the pal camp in the Blagk Hills, - for the union. and other spokesmen for the striking workers, walked out of Johnson's office. They declined to discuss the negotiations. Today's conference was called last night after a meeting of several hours, at the end of which Johnson expressed the possibility of an agreement today. Seeks Concessions, Johnson's energies were pitted to the task of winning sufficient concessions, both from mine operators and labor, to end the strike and maintain peace until the Recovery Administration can carve out in public hearing a binding code of fair practice for the entire coal industry. For the time, the entire campalgn to blanket American business into agreements to raise wages and create new jobs was thrust ugun Johnson'’s aides. The program, W] lgh esterday leaped forward by the wholesale blank- eting of banks and half a dozen in- dustries under temporary codes of their own, continued to bri in thousands of new signatures entitling employers to_display the Blue Eagle of N. R. A. Because of the coal strike, the hear- ing on the bituminous code, or rather the 18 separate ones that have been put forward, has been moved up from Au- gust 14 to August 9. At that time, the issue of company union versus labor +union will be threshed out to something like determination of a basis for future industrial relations, though possibly not a final settlement. Union Issue is Basic. The union issue is at the bottom of the present strike, which spread from the United States Steel subsidiary, H. C. Frick Coke Co. mines in Fayette Coun- ty., Pa., to surrounding territory until around 35,000 miners now are out, de- manding recognition for the United Mine Workers. % Johnson began this task yesterday, flying to Harrisburg to address an in- dustrial gathering. When he fleaw back, there came also Gov. Pinchot and Moses, the president of the Frick con- cern. ‘While eoal presented the immediate issue, labor unrest has popped up in other industries. Many officials here see this as an inevitable development of the ifidustrial control law which for the first time grants to laboring men an explicit charter to organize as they see fit, without any interference from their employers, once the latter have taken the industrial self-government free of the threat of anti-trust law prosecution, which the codes of fair practice grant them. Despite warnings from Johnson, some employers and union heads have told the men they must join company ynions, or contrarily, the independent Kind, if they expect to get benefits of the recovery law.

BROWNSVILLE, Pa, August 3.— Leaders of some 65.000 miners looked to Washington today for speedy settle- ment of the strike that for a week has kept them from the pits in Pennsyl- ENVOY TO RUSSIA vania's bituminous coal fieids. Two hundred strikers’ representatives meeting with Nationsl Guard and State labor officlals approved a request to the Federal Government to hurry passage of the coal code. They expressed hope that its adoption will provide a basis for settling the flerce dispute over com- pany recognition of miners’ unions. The meeting followed Gen. Hugh S Johnson's address in Harrisburg, where he sppealed for peaceful conferences to settle the State’s widespread strikes. “I don't seefany blood should flow and men should refuse to talk with one another when the whole country is sacrificing everything to get the people close together,” he said. Session Ends Quietly. The strike leaders quietly dispersed after the local meeting, indicating com- pliance with an agreement which pro- vides 2,000 “union guides” to assist in preserving order. Except for s protest against relief methods employed by the H. C. Frick Coke Co.. which miners claimed puts them further and further in debt to their employers, the meeting reflected little of the tense feelilng that has gripped the area. The military-patrolled area was quiet today. with between 1,000 and 1500 pickets posted. in contrast to yester- day’s 3.000 or more. There was a moderate demonstration at the Frick Co.’'s Lesth mine near Uniontown, closed today for the first time in the current strike. Hundreds of Pickets on Duty. Several hundred pickets were on duty at Star Junction and at the Frick Co- lonial No. 8 Mine, scene of previous dis- orders. Most of the miners were in a jubilant mood. Reports circulated that Thomas Moses, Frick Co. president, and John L. Lewis, United Mine Workers' presi- dent. may“confer in Washington during | the day. The men say they are hopeful they will receive concessions from the operators. William_Black and James Brosius of Uniontow#§ two Frick Co. deputies, were arrested for questioning in the death of Louils Podorsky, striker fatally shot during an outbreak of violence of Colonial Mine No. 3 Monday. No gharges were filed against the two dcg‘fdm.;ky death the first and orsky's was , to date, the only fatality since the stfile began last week. Meanwhile more mines were closed because of walkouts. Pickets halted miners on their way to work at the Charleroi mine of the Youghiogheny & Ohio Coal Co. in Washington County. Thirty-one other mines are closed in that Section. 300 TOWA MINERS OUT.

HARRISBURG, Pa., August 3 () — Driving his campaign for national re- covery into strike-splotched Pennsyl- vania, Gen. Hugh H. Johnson yester- day flayed disputes which produce “fierce local troubles” and appealed for peaceful conferences to settle the State's widespread strikes. Declaring he did not know “who is wrong or who is right” in the bitumi- nous strike in Western Pennsylvania, he asserted. “These few fierce local troubles will seem to the rest of the country like some one blowing & fire siren in the midst of a symphony concert.” Gen. Johnson forced upon the mass meeting yesterday his military impa- tience with any thing or person bleck- ing national recovery. “God help the man or group of men who stand against thi drive,” he shouted, pounding the desk as he told of the Roosevelt recovery policies and their objectives. Appeals for Harmony, Commenting on shootings and dis- putes between the Governor, sheriff and mine operators, he said: “I don't see why blood should flow and men should refuse to talk with one another when the whole country is sac- rificing everything to get the people close together. “I would talk to the devil, himself, if I thought there was any chagce of making hell colder.” Strikes and disorders, he added, exact !mew‘m.m’ oll:lt the “long suf- e” who must pay Pount the stand in the -Butld- the bills. | discard i Youth Meets Death In Thrill of Aiding Law in Still Raid By the Associated Press IDABEL, Okla.

Olson is a Farmer-Laborite and the only third party Governor in the Na- tion. The Dispatch quoted Gov.

Gen. Johnson said the “blue eagle” of the N. R.

Some Considering Removal. | _ Published reports that some Stock Exchange members were considering removal df the exchange to Jersey City or Newark, N. J., to avoid pro- increases in transfer taxes led Street to wonder whether the exchange would not find fts big prop- erty investment here a big obstacle to such removal. At the same time no secret is being made of the exchange's concern over the present drive by New York City for further levies on dealings. The proposed tax would be in addition to the State and PFederal taxes already Jn effect and would mean a total im- ROst of 12 or 13 cents a share on trans- actions in stocks. The MUST DO MORE.

Butro, general counsel and vice presideng of the Standard Oil Co. of Califor , today told the Recovery Ad- ministfation that a trade code for the oil industry presented by Hugh S. John- son, the industrial administrator, answer to the industry’s problems. Appearing as the spokesman for all the forces demanding price regulation, Sutro asserted: “This code increases the burdens of the industry and does nothing. as we see it, to carry out the ltberal views of a liberal administration. “I think you have flinched on the economic question which the adminis- riu":gr should face and solve—price pefiia ™ Brings Up Price Regulation. Sutro brought again into the fore- ground of efforts to formulate a code for the industry the bitter question of price regulation, “against which several com- panies, including the Standards of New Jersey and Indiana, the Texas Co., the Royal Dutch Shell and other interests, are fighting. Sutro, hammering for price control, told K. M. Simpson, deputy administra- tor presiding over the hearing, that re- cent statements of oil companies showed heavy losses and asked “Will you tell me where we are going to get the money to pay the labor i Referring to statements by adminis- _| tration officials that price fixing would be a difficult question, Sutro said: “The Supreme Court held that the Federal Government could not inter- fere in child labor. Did that stop L Johnson from stopping child labor? Happily it did not. “We have not heard any question of constitutionality raised where it was wanted to do something ™ Alluding to a statement by Johnson in effect that if production is brought under control prices will take care of themselves, Sutro continued: “Do not tell us that when vou balance production vou solve our problems.

B. Ames of the Texas Ol Co. told Simpson the committee had agreed to recommend elimination of the section to bring about closer co-operation with the States. as he and several others felt it would encroach on State rights. The committee of 15 agreed to recom- mend elimination of the section, but the 5 members representing the Emer- gency National Committee of 54 set up under the auspices of the American Petroleum Institute Yast night withdrew eir agreement under orders from the E!:!r%en;,:‘commntee of 54. 1 T ne, representing Gov.
