HAPPY HOUR BRIDGE CLUB

Members of the Happy Hour
Bridge Club spent an enjoyable even
ing at the home Of their president
Mr.. C. McFall, 345th and Farnam
Sts., N. w. Thursday, March 23rd.
After business meeting, which was
very brief, the men held a private
meeting. Something fishy about it
I'd say. Careful ladies be on the look
out, anything can happen when they
get their schnozzles together.
Bridge was played and Mr.. T,
Humphrey went home with the prize
once more. Mrs. c. Selectman was a.
warded the prize for the ladies.
I must say that the club is pro.
crossing rapidly and there is much
improvement in the bridge playing OF
each member. The hostess served a
very pleasing luncheon and believe
me, the champion prize winner is a
champ at ether things as well, such
as eating ice cream.
MI. and Mrs. H. Clark and Miss H.
Brown were visitors.
The members will be the guests OF
Mr.. S. Phillips, 3O36 Emmett ST., next
meeting. See you then. H. H. B. Club

A woman's tender heart.
Nor pierce by cruel dart.
Because a woman's love.
BY every means she'll prove,
To make of her a tool,
A laughing stock, a fool.

i. s. Jury ACCUSES
REPUTED NAz AIDE
Heinz SpanknoebeI Charged
With Being Connected With
Reich Propaganda Unit.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 1o.-A Fed
eral grand jury today returned an in
dictment charging Heinz Spanknoebel,
reputed Nazi agent, with acting as an
agent of the PreSse Abtheil. a press di-
vision of the ministry of propaganda Of
the German government, without regis
tration with the State Department.
The specific offense charged is vio-
lation of section 233, title %, U. S.
Code which was adopted in 1917 as a
means of preventing espionage. The
maximum penalty possible under the
statute is five years imprisonment and
a SIS 900 fine.
The mvc-tisation of Spanknoebels IS
activities by the grand jury had been
under way for three weeks and resulted
from charges made against Spanknoebel
in protests made to Mayor John p
O'Brien against proposed German day
celebration in a local armory. Mayor
O'Brien refused to permit the celebra-
tion on the ground that it might result
In disorder.
Meanwhile, a warrant was issued for
Spanknoebel's arrest by United States
Commissioner Francis A. ONein on a
complaint sworn to by United States
Attorney George z. Medalie. Federal
agents since have sought him in vain,
and he has been reported as having
fed to Germany and also being in
hiding in the United States.

uTHE Federal men would
never have caught
this bunch of crooks"
said Inspector Willing,
pointing an indicative finger at
a case report, IF they hadn't
started cheating each other.
The way it happened was
that three confidence men were
operating a mail order racket.
They advertised that they had
a sure cure for badness and If
the customer would send 81
they would send him a trial tube
of this marvellous ointment. OF
course, the stuff was only pc
troleum jelly.
But the gag is that they fell
to quarreling among themselves
and, finally, two of them ousted
the third fellow and kept the
business, If you call it that, for
themselves.
But this third party was
pretty smart. The name of the
phoney company was the Acorn
Chemical Co. So he simply went
to another Office building, rented

Then he went to the post Office
and filed a change Of address
card on the Acorn Chemical Co,
ordering the post Office to deliver
all Acorn mail to the new ad-
dress. So the other two were
spending all the money advertis-
ing and all the mail with the
dollar bills came to him.
The other two slickers Won
dered what had happened to
their business, but they didn't
dare go near the post Office be-
cause they were running a gyp.
Finally, the Government got wise
when a mailman noticed that two
companies of the same name
had different Offices. They
checked into the matter. merely

livery and uncovered the racket.

RAIL men HOLD ON
UNDER new LAW

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-Rail-
road men came here and battled their
way through every kind of opposition
to procure agreement finally on a
provision preventing the discharge of
railroad workers under the railroad
coordination bill. The victory is re-
garded as one of the most striking
of the year. Rail executives and
financial powers generally sought a
provision for reduction of working
forces.
Railway union executives, in Wash
ington constantly since the legisla-
tion took shape, have conducted a
brilliant campaign and, on the eve
of enactment of the legislation have
procured agreement, including that of
President Roosevelt, that co-ordina-
ton shall not result in firing of men.
Decrease of working forces shall
come only through death and resig-
nation.

Green Calls Labor Conference
On Industrial Recovery Bill
HITLER
Declared Aiming at Labor
Enslayement

Paris (ILNS)-Hitler by his at
tacks on German trade unionism, has
given final proof that he is seeking
to reduce the workers to physical and
mental slavery, W. Schevenels, gen
eral secretary of the International
liberation of Trade Unions, charges
in a statement on events in Germany.
He says:
German Fascism has just struck
the final blow to which its violent
handling of the German working class
has inevitably been tending. The last
remnant of trade union freedom has
at last been destroyed. The mask
has been taken off The leaders of
the free trade unions having been
arrested and their organizations de-
stroyed there can be no further doubt
as to Hitler's real intentions.
"The blindest and most fanatical
adherents of the national socialist
movement-those who have honestly
believed that Hitler has some ideal
before him and is really striving for
progress-eve these can be deceived
no longer; their eyes are open at last!
The so-called national awakening,
to which the most elementary per-
sonal liberties and countless human
lives have been sacrificed, turns out
to be no more than the most brutal
reaction of conservative capitalism
to the threat to its domination.
by suppressing the free trade
unions and imprisoning leaders of the
working class who refuse to sell their
conscience Hitler has just given final
proof that what he is really seeking
to do is to save capitalists and THEN
profits and privileges by reducing the
working class to physical and mental
slavery. What is now filling with in.
dignation the whole of the world out

trust, end in the reawakening before
long of the conscience of the German
people themselves, and thus in the
salvation of peace, the threat tc
which is now causing so much an

RELIEF CURTAIL
CAUSES RIOTS

Ottawa (ILNS)-A curtailment of
public relief and efforts of the au-
thorities to force the unemployed into
labor camps with pay as low as SIS
month, have led to number of
serious riots in Ontario and western
provinces. The mounted police, in
creased in number, is being used to
enforce the new dispensation, and
veterans of the Great War figure
prominently in the lists of those re-
ceiving broken heads and Jail senten-
ces for not patiently enduring their
troubles.
Meantime the best the Bennett gov
ernment offers is the hope that the
World Economic Conference will cor
rect the anomoly which permits "men
to go hungry in the midst of plenty
and to be idle while there is work to
do" And parliament, fine example
of the dictum Of the psychologists
that sick minds cannot deal with real
tiles, wrangles fiercely over the re-
distribution of constituencies.

SirOvich Has Liason Plan
to Protect Federal Employees

Washington - Congressman Will
liam |. Sirovitch, of New York, is
working to obtain an early hearing
on his bill designed to protect federal
workers from injustices possibly aris-
ing as result of the departmental
reorganization proposed by President
Roosevelt as part of his economy pro-
gram.
Representative Sirovitch says that
in the course of reorganization hun
dreds of thousands of workers will
be subject to the whims of their
superiors, and that among the many
due to lose their jobs some of the
ablest will be found unless something
is done for their protection. Presi-
dent Roosevelt, he says, would be
simply swamped with protests.
The bill provides liaison officer
with power to investigate complaints
made by workers and in case of fla
grant injustices report them directly
to congress.

Morgan Inquiry Reveals
Empire Of Vested Wealth
Appalling Power of Money Shocks Nation While Details
of Tactics in "Greasing" Friends Shows That All
Gangs Are Alike.

Washington, d. c. (ILNS)-Mor-
gan and Capone laid down much the
same principles in the matter of keep
ing the fences we'll repaired, it seems.
Capone CREASED the right folks
long the way, except for his one failure
along the income tax front.
Morgan CREASED the right people,
passing out five and six-figure IA
vors to such men as national politi-
cal party treasurers, secretaries of
the treasury, past and future, judges,
a former presidential candidate, an
ambassador -at-large and so on.
The point has been made that these
men didn't need greasing to hold them
in line, because they were morgan
minded" naturaily-and there is
something to that point of view.
There also is something to the point
of view that good commander keeps
his lieutenants happy through lar
gesse of one sort or another. 1t is
the Tammany principle. 1t was the
old army idea Generals used to give
their lieutenants chance at looting
every now and then. Morgan follows
a sound principle.
But the important thing thus far
coming out of the Morgan inquiry
is not so much that a string of men
every now and then got roll of
money is that one firm had the power
over American industry and finance
to tap the nation for millions by what
amounted to the waving Of a wand
and that there were so many of these
millions that a few could be distrib-
uted to friends" with scarcely dent
being made in the main pile. 1t is
the sheer bulk of power in the Nor
gan firms hands that is shocking.
The Morgan power has been no Sc
cret, but the amazing extent of it
has been unknown to the people. That
there was invisible government" and
money trust" was declared by the
Pujo committee twenty years ago
after the father of the present Nor
gan has wriggled through the same
sort of testimony. But the Morgan
rulership is today more powerful, the
domain is infinitely larger.
1t is doubtful if the full range OF
Morgan influence and power will be
brought out in the present hearinggs
There has been no intimation yet from
the witness stand that Morgan has
power in the publishing world, yet it
is known that the great financia

Washington, B. C. (ILNS)-Ameri-
lea is plunging into change-a new
order is in the making, and each day
sees evidence piled high.
As the Wagner bill, officially known
as the industrial recovery bill, moves
toward enactment by the senate, en-
ployers are waking up to its import.
James Emory, for years the leading
lobbyist for the National Association
of Manufacturers and long string
of other employer outfits, has sung
what may be his swan song. Before
the senate committee on finance he
attacked the industrial recovery bill
bitterly. If the bill becomes law, as
it is practically sure to, Emory will
fit no place.
The new legislation will compel and
command cooperation. Emory and
many others, useful only to fight, will
be misfts.
Typical of the employer blasts
against the bill is a circular issued
by the Illinois Manufacturers Asso-
citation. 1t has been coming into
Washington in quantities. It's cap
tion is this: "Dou you want your in
dustry unionized almost over night 2"
That is intended to scare the tripe
out of employers and will, in many
cases.
Meanwhile the Wagner employment
agency bill is going through and is
expected to become law even before
the industrial recovery bill. Secre-
tary of Labor Perkins, obviously
speaking for the administration, says
it is vital that these free employ
ment offices be set up when the re-
covery bill goes into operation.
Perhaps unconsciously the secre-
tary OF labor let slip hope of the
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1933-06-09

monarch does have such power. Thus
far we see power stretching out
mainly into utilities, railroads, foods.
There are many other lines of Nor
gan power, revealed, in fact more
fully in the famous testimony of
John P. Frey, and the noted senate
speech of Senator George w. Norris.
There is something Of indication
that the invisible government" is
now coming face to face with the
political government to see which
shall dominate, with the odds long on
the political government.
The present investigation is not in
any sense prosecution. 1t is an
inquiry for the securing of facts upon
which to base legislation.
