At this point, the child sighed and
took little hand out of his blue over
alls to indicate the size of the dog.
Did you run?" he was asked.
yeah. I got in coal shed. There

BINGHAM ATTACKS

Wagner Employment Bill Is
Scored in Radio
Address.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Bingham, Republican, Of
Connecticut, in q radio address last
night attacked a bill pending in the
Senate intended to authorize the estab-
lishment of a national system Of en-
ployment bureaus.
Speaking over the National Broad
casting chain, the Senator said the bill
seeks to have the States surrender a
vital power OF "self-government in ex-
change for Federal appropriation" and
to accept Federal supervision and con-
troll. His address was in reply to one
made two weeks ago by Senator Wag-
ner, Democrat, New York, author of the
bill
Senator Bingham asserted the meas
ure undertook to coerce the States into
acceptance of the plan by threatening
the establishment and maintenance of
Federal employment agencies unless the
State accepted the Federal policy.
This is dangerous doctrine" Sena-
tor Bingham said. IT do not need to
remind my radio audience that the War
Of the American Revolution was fought
as protest against infiiction of laws
upon people who did not desire them.
or upon communities where the ma
jority of the people were not in favor
of them.
I'VE are continually trespassing upon
the rights of the States and are CEN
traliZing the authority that belongs to
them in agencies of the National Gov
ernment It is not the business of
washington to look out for the general
welfare Of the people, but for the gen.
eral welfare of the States"

HOWELL WILL SEEK

Author of Measure Will Again Ask
Senate to Consider
Legislation.

Another effort to have the Senate
take up the dry enforcement bill for
the District will be made tomorrow.
Senator Howell, Republican, of Ne
braska, author Of the measure, an
nounced last night. The Senator tried
TO get the measure up Friday afternoon,
but after brief debate between him
self and Senator Tydings, Democrat, of
Maryland, the bill gave way to other
business.
One of the features of the bill to
which Senator Tydings has objected is
the section which would impose q pen
atty on a person who knowingly permits
any property under his control to be
used in violation of the prohibition law
without taking reasonable measures to
evict the occupants.
Senator Howell defended this portion
Of his bill during the colloquy with Sen
ator Tydings when the question was be-
fore the Senate. The bill would extend
prohibition enforcement authority to all
local policemen, re-enact q part of the
Sheppard law, which first made Wash
