Committed irrevocably to the propo- sition of finding & basis for minimum ‘wage, maximum hour and fair trade practice legislation, the Council for Industrial Progress still will attempt to draft all its desired legislation within the framework of the Constitu- tion as it now stands, it was stated to- day by Maj. George L. Berry, Federal co-ordinator for industrial co-opera- tion. Failing in attempts to keep such lJegislation within those limits, the council as a whole will be asked to ap- prove a campaign on behalf of a constitutional amendment, Berry con- tinued. Significant in this respect was the further revelation by Berry that a representative of the management group in the council yesterday pro- posed a resolution committing the council in support of a constitutional amendment. The resolution was with- drawn, however, at Berry's request i I until the Correlating Committee of the | council has an opportunity to go over the entire legislative program and de- termine whether it can be so con- structed as not to run afoul of the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Constitution. Berry Denies Reports. Berry took occasion today to deny reports that he might resign to ap- | pease “big business.” “The only man who can return me ' to the ranks is the President of the United States,” he said. “The Steel Institute wouldn't come here to meet with labor if Myron Taylor hlmselli were the co-ordinator.” Berry denied, however, that the Oouncil's actions in favor of legisla- tion similar to the late N. I. R. A. had been inspired by the White House. Most definite of the regulative pro- | posals, later to be whipped into leg- | islative form, was that of the Com- SPECIAL NOTICES.

Model Act Xs Proposed. Dealing with business and industrial | evils in terms of “fair and unfair” | competition, this report = suggests enactment of a model fair competi- | tion act which would ban not only misrepresentation in advertising and | merchandising but would extend its { prohibition to “unjust or unreason- ! able wage or hour standards or the | employment of child lavor.” | For administration of such an act, | the council proposed creation of a unit | of the Federal Trade Commission as | one solution, but of greater interest | was the suggestion for establishment | of an independent industrial court to hear and adiudicate all complaints of violation. Such a court, it was pro- posed further, would have the power of issuing permanent and temporary in- Junctions. Labor's approval of this feature was conditioned upon it being | | allowed representation in such a court. From the council's Committee on Anti-Trust Laws came a report also calling for prohibition by law of simi- lar malpractices of business and a recommendation that a special ap- peliate court be established to hear appeals from administrative agencies ! handling these laws. This report ‘hksv\ ise was adopted. | | Production Control Opposed. | In more general terms, the coun- | cil approved a policy report which places them on record in opposition to production control, in favor of mini- mum wage and overtime rates, in op- position to unfair competitive prac- tices and in favor of creation of a | permanent advisory economic council, ! | The council approved, also, a reso- lution calling for a study of the na- tional, State and local tax structures with a view to eventual overhauling | of all. In addition, it urged the taking of | an employment census every five years | and setting up definitions and stand- | ards by which such a census should e taken. | To correlate all these recommenda- | tions and weld them into legislative shape which might lead to their ac- the council named a special committee to carry ! on through the coming session of Con- | gress. Berry Offers to Quit. Referring to those representatives of industry who have declined to par- | in the council's meetings, | George L. Berry, Federal co-ordinator ! for industrial co-operation, in a radio | address last night declared himself | not desirous of continuing in his office if that should be the reason for their failure to co-operate. “They disliked the President and | they disliked organized labor,” he | said. “Now they don't dislike the | President, if we are to read the news- | papers. They want to co-operate. But in order for them to co-operate, the President must get himself a new co-ordinator. Well, if it helps to save their faces * * * I am not so vain as | to want to be co-ordinator and thereby | abridge progress.” LIBERTY DECLINE SEEN IN TAMPA FLOGGING Shoemaker, Demni:dl “Early Prosecution.” By the Associated Press. TAMPA, Fla, December 12.—Nor- man Thomas, Socialist party leader, said in a prepared speech last night th2 fatal flogging of Joseph Shoe- maker, organizer of unemployed work- men, was “an evidence of the decline of civil liberties in this country.” He spoke on the anniversary of Shoemaker's funeral. The meeting was arranged by the committee for the defense of civil liberties in Tampa formed after the flogging incident. Shoemaker died December 9, 1935, nine days after he was abducted with two companions, and tarred and feathered. Four Tampa policemen were convicted on a charge of kid- naping E. F. Poulnot, one of the vic- tims. All are free under appeal bonds. Demanding “early and thorough prosecution” of those indicted in the case, Thomas said Tampa “had not yet been fully vindicated of the mur- der.of Shoemaker and the flogging of his companions.” —_— Georgians to Hold Dance.

WISE, Va., December 12.—Counsel | for Edith Maxwell looked to decisions by Judge Ezra T. Carter today to de- | termine whether the comely defendant would take the stand in her second trial on charges of murdering her father. M. J. Fulton, one of her attorneys, | said if the defense were upheld on two testimony of two physicians, who he | | said would declare Trigg Maxwell died of “natural causes.” The defense objections were raised when the State for the first time yes- | terday linked Edith with the death of | her father, and attempted to place in the record of this trial her testimony | in the previous proceedings, when she | received & 25-year prison sentence that was set aside by the State Supreme Court of Appeals. Greear's move to put former Deputy Sheriff R. S.
