Body to Supervise Work.
ings Under Plan

Appointment OF an MIRA compliance
committee to hear all complaints
against firms or individuals accused
Of violating the provisions of the re-
covery act was announced Tuesday by
the local NRA supervising committee.
Heading the group is Russell A.
Young, secretary-treasurer Of the Bis
marck Typographical union and presi-
dent Of the North Dakota Typograph-
ical conference, which is an organiza-
ton Of all the printing crafts Of the
state.
Other members are Mayor A. p.
Lenhart, representing local wholesale
and retail employers; Mrs. F. l.. Conk-
lin, representing the consumer; r. A.
Middaugh, representing labor; H. w.
Griffith, representing the employees Of
retail stores; w. T. Kraft, represent
ing industrial employers and Thamaa
Burke, legal representative.
The duties of the committee are to
hear all complaints against firms and
employers. II the complaints are
found to be unjustified, the commit
tee can so rule. If they are found to
be justified, it can try to induce the
guilty person or firm to comply with
the NRA agreement or code affecting
the business. In the event of con-
tinued violation or refusal to adjust
affairs to comply with the NRA. the
committee can recommend to Wash
ington that disciplinary action be
taken.
Cannot Move Eagle
Instructions from Washington state
specifically that the local committee
has no authority to order the blue
eagle removed from a firm. It can
however. make recommendations fo1
such action.
Assigned to this committee, also, i
the Job Of approving exceptions to the
presidents agreement, for which pro-
vision is made in that document
These exceptions come under para
graph IA which permits firm tc
sign the code and get the blue eagle;
then apply for revision to fit pecu-
liar circumstances affecting the firm
Suggested revisions will be checked by
the local committee and submitted to
Washington for approval.
Instructions as to the method OF
handling complaints provide that the
committee should contact the en-
ployer complained Of, informed him
OF the nature Of the complaint and
ascertain his conception of the facts
Unless the employer can make salts
factory explanation or prove that the
cause Of the complaint has been elm
mated, the committee Is instructed to
explain that the violation must be rec
titled Immediately. Efforts to OBJ
tain voluntary compliance by a toler-
ant attitude and patient explanation
are recommended on the theory that
most violations are due to misunder-
standings.
The NRA committee is instructed
to discourage rumors injurious to per-
sons or firms displaying the blue
eagle and to instruct the community
to report all violations to the COM
pliance board, with supporting facts,
and not merely report suspicious to
the neighbors."
All members Of the board will serve
without pay. either for their time or
expenses with the exception that 1t
is permitted to use franked envelopes
for official communications.

Judging from the daily mail
at the Department Of Justice,
everybody in the country has a
dandy solution for putting
the crooks behind the bars

One man offered the Department OF Justice
his invention, a metal cell in which the pris-
oner could not move without receiving an
electric shock
Several people want all prisoners put TO
work on the building of piers and breakwaters
along the This would be useful public
employment; ut the same time the workers
would be punished because their hands ana
feet would become raw and bleeding from work
in salt water"
A less constructive variation of this idea calls
for daily fogging of all criminals in custody,
with follow-up treatment Of salt rubbed INTO
the wounds produced by the lash.
The department receives another class Of
letters from people who want something in
veStigated or some one punished
A MAN In Michigan wants church IN MS
woman in Iowa wants a merchant arrested for
selling her husband chewing tobacco after she
had forbidden it; woman in Ohio wants
her son-in-law arrested for playing poker;
man wants the telephone company prosecuted
for billing his party line with call he never
made
A woman in New York City writes that
every night a plane goes over the apartment
house in which she lives. She has watched
it. She is sure it belongs to an enemy nation
H~<~f "a
the city.
few weeks ago a woman wrote a 30-page
letter to the Attorney General to tell him about
a dangerous and powerful gang operating in
her neighborhood, which she had Swallowed at
great danger to herself. On the fifteenth page
she announced the crime she had discovered
the gang kidnapped dogs and sold them to medi-
cal experimenters.
These letters are but froth on the wave OF
serious concern that Is passing through the
country over the growth of major crime.
Americans are a peculiar people in their
attitude to law.
In their Colonial period, plagued by native
nuisance laws which even forbade q man to
kiss his wife on Sunday, and by laws passed
in England with the deliberate intention of
strangling American trade, our forefathers de-
veloped the habit Of obeying only what laws
they chose.
Curiously enough. In spite Of their contempt
for laws that interfere with their own conduct,
Americans are more ardent believers in laws
for curbing the other fellow.
There ought to be law" they say.
So they put the eighteenth amendment into
the Constitution.

they had to take gin or whiskey when a host
offered it because the host had obtained the
stuff with such effort.
In the beginning the efforts needed to get it
were great Only criminals were willing to take
the risk of providing the illegal drinks and
they wanted ample rewards for the risks they
took.
The people who took up liquor running got
their monetary rewards They also got an edu-
cation in how much money there was in the
world and how simple it was to get hold
of it by intimidation and political corruption
The need for high-powered organization pro-
duced the banding together in gangs.
The profits on the liquor traffic, great as they
were. only whetted the gangsters' appetites.
Having discovered how easy it to collect

Another measure advocated is the establish-
