DEMANDS
ACTION FOR IDLE
Government Must Act if Bust
ness Won't, Virginia
Bar Told.
Special Dispatch to The star.


WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.
Va, July 30.-Addressing the Virginia
Bar Association annual meeting here
last night, Gov. Albert c. Richie of
Maryland said that If business does not
do something about the unemployment
situation the Government will.
IT suppose that nothing has stirred
the American people more than the
period of industrial depression and
unemployment through which we are
now passing" he said. 1T could not
be Otherwise. with from Elk to eight
millions Of men and women wanting
work and needing work, but unable
to get it: :, ,
down in our economic balance which
followed the World War and the IN
evitable crash which came after our
postwar orgy Of extravaganza. inf1a-
ton and wild and reckless spending
and credit buying.
When we consider measures which
will prevent. or. at least mitigate. a
tons. we see that there are funda-
mental national policies which might
be so shaped and directed as to con-
tribute to that end.
II believe that the lowering Of our
present tariff to overcome these OBJ
Jections at least would react favorably
on American business.
mo one denies that much Of the
economic and political instability in
Europe, which in turn affects US,
grows out Of the reparations and the
international debts. 50 that II our
statesmen and those Of other coun-
tries would face the realities of this
situation and turn their attention to
considering now what will have to be
considered later on anyhow. namely.
whether all these international obli-
cations will not from sheer economic
necessity have to be radically read
iusted. this might supply the courage
and the hope. the impetus and the
perity in other lands and in ours.
Preparedness in Industry.
LET me ask the captains Of Ameri-
can industry, the business and finan-
cial leaders of the land, this question:
What are you doing to be ready for
this unemployment situation when it
breaks the next time? You fear 10
have government prepare for it, be-
cause the political elements In govern
ment may adopt plans and panaceas
which, like compulsory unemployment
insurance, you believe are unSound or
harmful or futile, and may in the end
overwheln an already overburdened
public treasury. In truth, that may
happen. Then what are you indus
trialists doing to put your own house
in order. so as to avert this danger of
governmental Intervention?
Industry Is doubtless doing all it
can to dig itself out Of the present
depression. No doubt it is taking on
new men when it can justify them
not laying of old men when that
can be avoided; doing future work now
wherever possible, staggering employ
ment shortening the work period,

have become choked with the nettles.
The bureau said the nettles have
been reported more numerous this year
than ever before.

Quoted an investigation and found

Protests received by the bureau from
citizens in the bay section and one from

The scientific division Of the bureau
today said that climatic conditions NAV
be responsible for the abundance Of
nettles. It was explained that no
scientific study had ever been made of
nettles and theory was advanced by
members of the division that the only
means Of permanently destroying them
would be for q stiff inshore breeze to
blow them high and dry and allow
nature to perform the rest,

welt took official ccgnizance yesterday
of the declaration of the Board Of Re
view of the Federal Department OF
Labor that his pardon of Philip Paone,
former convict, was 'valueless' so far
as it affected deportation proceedings
against the man.
In a formal statement issued from
the executive Offices, the Governor e%-
pressed hope the decision of the Board
of Review would be appealed to the
courts. and that "a final decision will
be rendered which will uphold our
action"
Decision Narrow"
"The narrow legalistic decision of
the Federal Board" he wrote, is
direct blew to modern progressive
methods Of helping offenders against
the law to become laW-abldlng men,
bers of the community after they have
served their punishment"
Paone, 40, was born in Italy, but has
lived in the United States % years.
He was convicted Of forgery and served
sentences at Sing Sing Prison and at
the Ohio State Prison at Columbus.
According to the Governor, Paone
was the unwilling tool Of another man.
He was married in the United States
and has two children, both of whom
were born in this country.
Pardons Customary.
The Governor said that, in harmony
with the deportation act, 1t had been
the custom to issue pardonS 70 offenders
who have served their full terms. or,
in case of indeterminate sentences,
their minimum sentences, for the eX-
press purpose of preventing deporta-
ton where the circumstances were such
as to make that seem the just course
to pursue"
The pardons, he explained, were
granted only in cases of men having
children born in this country who
would be deprived of support in the
event of the fathers deportation and
only when the former prisoner was
making IAN honest effort to redeem
his mistakes and support his family"
