LABOR FIGHTER
TO HELP GUIDE
REVIVAL SETUP
RIchberg Has Been Back
OF Progressive Cause
for 20 Years.
BY HERBERT LITTLE,
Times STAFF Writer

WASHINGTON, June 2.-Another
musician, this one however, law
yer who has fought for progressive
and liberal principles for more than
twenty years, has been selected to
help guide the Roosevelt admins
tration's new cooperative revision
of the American business structure.
He is Donald Randall Richberg,
veteran Of the Bull Moose and La
Toilette campaigns, lawyer for the
railroad brotherhoods, novelist and
co-author of the railway labor act
end the new national recovery act
which he is to administer with Cen
eral Hugh Johnson.
Here this spring to oppose the
original version of the administra-
tons railroad bill on behalf of the
brotherhoods, Richberg was drafted
by President Roosevelt to aid in
drafting the national recovery act.
The public works section now vir-
tually is the same as the public
works will he drafted for Senators
Edward r. Costigan and Robert La
Toilette.
Extensive Legal knowledge
His legal knowledge and advice is
the bulWark Of the bills chances
when and if the supreme court con-
SiderS its cOnStitutionality
But this work did not stop his
attack on the Roosevelt railroad
bill He appeared before one COM
mittee of congress to defend the re-
covery act-here again he was the
only lawyer called-and the same
day he denounced the railroad bill
before another committee.
Now Richberg, forceful but friend
ly-the President calls him Don
ald"-haS been chosen to work with
his antithesis, General Johnson, q
hard-bitten army man, an executive
with long experience in the army,
later on the war industries board
and still later, with the Moline Pillow
Company.
Fought High Utility Rates
1t appears not to have been de-
cided whether Richberg will coun-
sci for the new government business
administration or administrator
In either case, these two men will
pass on the legality and the public
interest of all business agreements,
tn wages, hours and working con-
ditions Of most of the workers of
the country, and decide upon the
disposal Of what is probably the
worlds largest public works pro-
gram.
For two years they probably will
WELD as much power as the House
of Morgan has for the last twenty.
Richberg originated the law
drafting bureau for the 1912 Pro-
gressives.
He fought high utility rates in
the home city, Chicago, over long
years, and Won
He fought hardest against the no.
torious Wilkerson-Da ugherty in
functions in the 1922 shipments
strike.
Drafts Yellow Dog Law
In addition to the railway labor
act, he drafted the Norris anti-yel-
lo7 dog contract and injunction act
recently made law.
He made a remarkable argument
IN the billion-dollar O'Fallon rail-
road valuation case - on, of all
things, the social aspects.
He lost, but the briefs predictions
read like a prophecy of what has
happened since 1929

POINT IS GAINED
BY CITY IN SUIT
ON WATER RATE
Testimony at Hearing Is to
Be Sponsored by
Attorney-G General.

City attorneys today gained a
new foothold in the indianapolis
Water Company's rate case in fed
eral court following agreement be-
tween them and representatives OF
the encouragement.
Under the agreement, testimony
of the city's witnesses will be spon-
sored by the attorney general, but
will not be binding on the public
service commission when the citys
circuit court suit for lower rates is
tried.
Amicable settlement Of the three
way dispute, which for time
threatened to bar the city attor-
neys and witnesses from participa-
ton i'll the hearing, was followed
by resumption of testimony by city
witnesses.
Tells Of Inundation
Henry B. Steeg, city plan COM
mission cretary-engineer, testified
as to inundation of various parcels
Of water company land, valued by
company witnesses as high as $4,000
an acre, during the May flood, and
of deterioration Of certain Of the
companys structures.
He was followed by Frank Z.
Gates, first of g dozen indianapolis
Real Estate Board appraisal COM
mittee members. They are expected
to testify that the water company
lands are valued at no more than
81 APT 900, less than half the figure
given by George T. Whelden,
realtor.
Tangle Over Suit
Dispute over the city's standing in
the case arose late Thursday, when
water company attorneys objected
to testimony of Steeg, contending
that since the city had not entered
an appearance, it legally could not
introduce testimony.
Edward H Knight, city corpora
ton counsel, explained that to enter
an appearance, the city would have
to dismiss its circuit court suit.
George w. Hufsmith, deputy at
torney- general, at first refused to
sponsor all the city's testimony, say
ing that his only duty was to sup
port the public service commission
rate order.
The company is seeking to set this
aside. Hufsmith said he could not
be bound by the city's testimony,
because Of the necessity later of de-
Tending the order in the city's cir
cult court suit.

ton of this class, was a very pleas
ant occasion. At o'clock 81 men,
bers and guests gathered in the

made ice cream and other good
things. Mrs. C. w. Reid, president
of the class since its organization,
spoke a few words of welcome and
greeting and Mrs. A. Il. Num-, the
teacher, spoke briefly, saying that
this was a most informal affair, and
that the program which was to fol-
low was mostly for laughing pur-
poses only. Tables were then
pushed back, chairs brought to the
center of the room, and every one
enjoyed the social time and the
humorous program. Among the
items were two very pleasant read
ings by Mrs. Jack Willis and Mrs.
Harvey Dawson, and the presenta-
