Says States May Make Liquor
Under Present Constitution
Eighteenth Amendment Held No Bar Rights of Sover-
eign by Former Railroad Administration Counsel
Three Governors Reported Considering Entering
Rich Field

Washington, d. c. (ILNS)--Modi-
fication and repeal forces have before
them a lawyers opinion, the outcome
of long inquiry, showing that without
any change in the eighteenth amend
ment or the Volstead act states can
enter the business of manufacturing
and selling intoxicating liquor.
John F. Finerty, formerly counsel
of the United States Railroad Ad-
ministration, a lawyer of prestige,
wrote the brief. His verdict is that
the eighteenth amendment extends
the police power of the federal gov
ernment to the citizens of states, but
that it does not touch the states
themselves, so that while citizens are
forbidden to make or transport liquor,
the states are under no such restraint.
Finnerty's conclusion is that any
state can at any time set up brew
cry or a distillery, or thousand OF
them, and proceed with perfect

legality to manufacture and sell
brewed or distilled liquors, with moth
ing in the constitution to stop them.
He points out that legislation does
not apply to sovereign unless the
sovereign is named and that congress
could not have had in mind the re-
striction of states because no state
was at that time engaged in the man.
ufacture of liquor.
"The very fact that the powers con-
ferred on the federal government by
the amendment were police powers"
Finnerty says, necessarily excludes
any implication that any power was
conferred against the states them
selves, since police powers are those
exercised by sovereign against it's
subjects or citizens; and since the po-
lice powers in question were those
therefore exclusively exercised by
the several states against their re-
spective citizens"

Lumber Stocks Excessive

Continued low production of lum-
Der and the fact that many mills
which are not running are accepting
orders, accounts largely for the SEEM
ingly favorable excess of lumber
orders over production during the
week ended August 13. The figures
show orders 25 per cent above pro-
duction, as given in telegraphic re-
ports to the National Lumber Man
ufacturers' Association from regional
manufacturers associations covering
the operations of 638 leading soft
wood and hardwood mills. These mills
produced 109, ,299 900 feet and entered
orders amounting to 136,144, ,000 feet.
Shipments were 1875, $4,000 feet, or 15
per cent above production.

Jobless Total For August
Is Steady at July Figure
President Green Declares Immediate Employment is Vital
or Winter Will Be One of "Unthinkable Suffering"

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Unem-
ployment at its peak in August
though with a halt near the July
point, a winter of "unthinkable and
drastic improvement, was reported by
President William Green in the cur
rent A. F. of L. statement on the in
dustrial situation.
Unemployment in August was at
the highest point since depression be-
gan. Our preliminary estimate for
July based on government figures,
shows 11,400,OOO persons out of
work in the United States, and trade
union figures for August show no i'm
provement. In July, layoffs for the
summer dull season added more than
100000 to the army of unemployed, !"
said the statement.
with unemployment already more
than double that of last year, we face
winter of unthinkable suffering. Be-
tween now and next January, nearly
two million persons must count on
losing their jobs in industry and agri-
culture-if layoffs are no more than
normal This will mean well over 49,
100000 out of work next winter. Jobs
must be created by the million if we
are to avoid an unparalleled catas-
trophe. Even substantial improve
ment in industry could not do more
than scratch the surface of this prob
lem.
Taking our union unemployment
reports as an Indicator of business,
the fact that unemployment stopped
increasing in August is encouraging

RAILROADS
Have No Short Route To
Wage Reduction

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Wheth-
er the coming presidents conference
on business revival, scheduled for
August 26, will affect in any way the
campaign of railroad executives for
pay reductions, remains to be seen,
but it is evident in any event that
pay cut advocates will find no ammu-
| milton to support their cause.
Meanwhile railroad unions are
making plans to combat the plans of
the executives for further reductions
with the complete support of the
American Federation of Labor, which
holds the proposed wage cuts not only
unnecessary, but positively hostile to
general industrial recovery.
The reduction program, if the roads
attempt to go through with it, will be
g long road and not an easy one, as a
study of the law reveals. If the roads
proceed under the law they will have
to go the long road indicated in the
following six steps set forth in the
statutes:

CIVIC FEDERATION
FOR SHORTER WEEK

New York City (ILNS)-At a
, meeting of the executive council of
the National Civic Federation on Au-
gust 5, 1882, to consider the indus
trial situation, Acting President Mat
thew Woll presiding, the following
resolutions We're unanimously adopt
ed:
Whereas, In the great industrial
crisis through which our nation is
passing it is essential that every con-
structive force be mustered into ac-
tion to the end that industry again
may be enabled to furnish employ
ment and wages, SO that there may
be sustenance for our people through
the use of buying power, and
Whereas, We regard the creation
of the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration as an event of transcendent
Importance, because through its in
strumentality industry may avail
itself of new credit, which is it's life
blood, and
Whereas, We regard as likewise
of inestimable value the conferences
entered into by the president with
representative men of industry and
public life for the purpose of bring
ing into being shorter work week,
be it
Resolved, That the National Civic
Federation tenders its moral support
and its active cooperation in the
great task of realizing to the full the
benefits of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, and be it further
Resolved, That in our belief
proper judgment and energy in re-
gard to the development of the pur-
poses of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation and the extension of the
shorter work week will go far toward
restoring to our national industrial,
economic and social life the balance
which it SO sorely needs, and that it is
the duty of every American to render
every possible measure of co-opera-
tion to that end"
Acting President Woll was author
lied to appoint a committee to CO.

nance Corporation in any manner that
might seem practicable.

Great Spread-Work Drive Is Launched;
Entire Nation Focuses on Unemployment
RETURN
Of Night Work Fought By
Wisconsin Labor

Milwaukee, Wis. (ILNS)-Branch
No. l6, Milwaukee Hosiery Workers,
will join with the Wisconsin State
Federation of Labor in opposing a
petition of the Bear Brand Hosiery
Company for modification of the
regulations of the Wisconsin indus
trial commission prohibiting night
work for women, in hearing Sep
tember 9 in Waupun before the COM
mission.
Twice the commission has denied
similar petitions within few months,
on three grounds. That extension of
night work for women is unnecessary
because neither men nor women are
employed full time during the day
even in the factories of previous petit
TONERS; that to permit additional
work shifts would merely speed up
production for time and result in
complete unemployment for later Pc
riods in the industry; and that night
work is injurious to the health of
women because of the other work wo-
men so employed formerly did during
the day in the home and which is the
practice in other states which do not
have the socially minded legislation or
regulation operating in Wisconsin.
Among the four hosiery manufac-
turers who joined in the first petition
a few months ago was the Holeproof
Company, Milwaukee. At the very
time hearings were held on the petit
ton neither male nor female hosiery
workers in Milwaukee were working
full time. This fact was pointed out
by the commission in it's order deny
ing the petition. The order declared
that employment in the factories
owned by the petitions had decreased
all the way from % to 4S per cent
from the peak.
Apparently, every effort is now be-
ing made by some Wisconsin firms
employing women to break down dur
ing this depression time all the pro-
tective standards built up in this state
in previous years. The Board Brand
firm is threatening to move out of the
state, into Illinois, unless they are
permitted to work women until 10
and II p. m. In order to arouse the
community in favor of their petition,
or to scare them into forgetting the
welfare of these women and their
present or potential children, this firm
last week paid off its Beaver Dam
factory employees with silver dollars.
Beaver Dam citizens, noting the
silver dollars in circulation, will have
an object lesson in just what the
factory payrolls mean to the city, it is
claimed by the sponsors of this move"
said news item commenting on this
procedure.

Milwaukee TarrazzO Union
Breaks Wage-Cut Lockout

Milwaukee, Wis.-The two weeks
lockout against members of Terrazzo
Workers Union No. 20 and Terrazzo
Helpers Union No. $40, instituted by
contractors because the unions refus-
ed to accept second wage cut, was
ended when the contractors agreed to
submit the question to arbitration as
provided in the agreements between
the unions and the contractors. About
200 union members are affected.
The union members contended that
the lockout was precipitated when the
unions, after accepting q cut of from
$1.37k to $1.25 for mechanics, and
from 85 cents to rs cents per hour for
helpers in June, refused to accept
another cut to 81 for mechanics and
65 cents per hour for helpers after
they had signed one-year agree

Legion Favors Flexible
Work Week to Make Jobs

indianapolis, Ind.-Mr. Henry L.
Stevens, Jr., national commander of
the American Legion, said that in
complete returns of poll of Legion
posts showed that the members over
whelmingly favor shorter or "flex-
ible" work week to spread work and
increase employment.
He stated that if the shorter work
week were universally adopted today
the more than 100000 jobless
would be nearly absorbed in the ranks
of the wage earners. He said the Le-
gion's poll showed that farming dis
tricts are in favor of it as strongly
as the industrial centers.

DELINQUENT
Child Problem Facts of Ma
ton Sought By Bureau

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Facts
on all child delinquency throughout the
nation are to be gathered and lodged
in the U. S. Children's Bureau, De-
partment of Labor, Carl B. Hyatt,
specialist in charge of federal and
juvenile relations, announced this
week.
Child delinquency, recognized as
often the result of bad wage and
working conditions, rates as prob
lem vital to labor.
A program for the national survey
is being formulated to cover period
of time necessary to gather material
from the 5000 courts handling juve-
rile cases.
Sees Local Supremacy
The bureau is proceeding upon the
theory that causes of delinquency are
local and that facilities for remedial
handling are better in the community
than any that could be brought to
bear by the federal government, for
removal from the scene.
1t is here, the bureau reasons, that
the state or the municipality in as
suming the responsibility is able to
take advantage of its opportunity
with it's juvenile system already in
operation, and apply it to the federal
offender as it would an offender of
its local laws or ordinances.
The recent organization of the juve-
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1932-09-09

nile courts of IL Southern States and
the District of Columbia is progress
sive step towards greater unity and
coordination in handling child delin-
quents. These states through their
association will be in close touch with
the juvenile court section of the Chill
dren's Bureau.
Already between 85 and 95 out
standing Juvenile courts throughout
the nation are sending their statistics
regularly to the Children's Bureau
The plan of the bureau to expand it's
inquiries to cover the entire country
will prove invaluable to states and
cities dealing with juvenile problems,
and especially those connected with
federal offenses.
Start of Local Facilities
The special division of the Chill
dren's Bureau will evaluate local re-
sources and secure better cooperation
with communities in the use of them.
Parallel with the movement will be an
attempt to develop an educational
program, create better understand
ing between the different jurisdictions
and bring about contracts which will
be salutary to a more equitable and
uniform practice among them.
At present two states, Connecticut
and Utah, submit reports on delin-
quency cases to the bureau. When
the bureau procures facts on child de-
linquency for the nation as a whole,
rather than from isolated or outstand-
ing areas, the whole problem can be
appraised from a national point of
view, and a notable achievement shall
have resulted.

washington, ID. {. (ILNS)-An i'm
mediate and nationwide campaign to
spread work and thus turn millions of
workers back into employment was
announced on the heels of President s
National Conference of Business and
Industrial Committees here, called for
the purpose of helping to smash the
depression.
Immediately upon announcement of
the spread-work campaign, which is
under Craftsmanship of Walter Teagle,

dent William Green, Of the American
Federation of Labor, announced his
enthusiastic support of the campaign.

mittee is one Of half dozen commit
tees named by the conference for
specialized work. Chairmen of the
other five are Daniel Willard, A. w.
Robertson, G. M. Woolley, Owen D.

The spread work campaign is
announced as a high-pressure, war
type drive to induce employers
throughout the nation to at once
adopt plans to increase the numbers
of employed by adopting whatever
system seems best adapted to the
community and the industry.
In it's meeting to formulate plans
the Teagle group was addressed by
Secretary of Labor Doak who en-
phasized the necessity for readjusting
work on a spread-work basis with as
little disturbance as possible to the
present earnings of those who have
jobs. The folly of reducing all to
standards of bare necessities was set
forth, and it was said to be the view
of the entire committee that readjust-
ment should not be on basis of cut
ting down present earnings of those
on payrolls. at was more like la
