Butler suggested that the maximum
hour provision be made more flexible
to care for the difficulties employers in
smaller towns encountered when they
attempted to hire new printers for part
time jobs.
Both Broun and Andrew M Parker,
the latter representing philadelphia and
argued there had been no greater or
ganization of editorial workers because
they were afraid to organize.
Supports Lindey Plan.
Lloyd White, representing editorial
workers in Cleveland, Rockford, ILL.,,
and Akron and Youngstown, Ohio, ap-
,,roved the provisions proposed by
Lindey. and said because he is un-
organized, therefore impotent in his in
dieiduality, the white-collar man as a
class, and the class includes newspaper
editorial workers, has been an especial
victim Of the def1ationary era.
1.-The business of newspaper editorial
work has long been romanticized,' u
White testified, "and even newspaper
men themselves have. lived in an atmOS-
phere of quixoticism.
Their idealism has been their weak
ness to be exploited by publishers
through the pay envelope. Now the
publishers would buy their exemption
from the 44-hour week by beStowing
a new honor upon them-the honor OF
permitting them to call themselves pro-
fessional men.
In any event. the attempt to write
a distinction between professionals and
professionals into this code is OBJ
viously but an ingenious device to quail
ify the terms of the recovery act"

LEAGUE TO PROBE
JEWS TREATMENT
Entire Racial Minority Prob
lem May Be Threshed Out
by Council.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA.-Following agitation over
the position of the Jews in Germany
the entire problem of racial and lin
guistic minorities will undoubtedly be
discussed at the next Assembly Of the
League Of Nations opening Monday
An examination seems probable as q
result of the controversy concerning
the Jews In German Upper Silesia
Germany pledged her word to the
League Council that Jews thrown Out
of their positions in violation of the
Polish German convention would be
restored to their places.
The discussion at the council meet
ing indicated a conviction Of several
ever found should have their interests
looked after by the League. which is
the accepted guardian of minorities. II
is deemed likely by some that dis
cuSsion Of the treatment of the jews
in Germany proper may develop at the
ASSEMBLY.
Rights Recognized.
Mlnorities became more of a prob
lem after the war, because of the crea-
ton of new nations and the territorial

protect peoples of different race and
religion. minority treaties were made
under the guidance of the allied and
associated powers. These treaties bound
the succession states. Poland and
Czechoslovakia: the defeated states
Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria. and the
Balkan states whose territory had been
increased, Greece, Yugoslavia and Ru-
mania, to respect the rights Of minor
tiles.
The underlying reason for such trea-
ties was that the great powers appre-
hended disturbances which might en-
danger the newly established peace
In some states, the dominant popula-
ton became the one which had been
oppressed or submerged before the war
The treaties were placed under the
aegis of the League OF Nations anc
complaints are handled by a specia
League minority section and eventually
by the League Council.
Treaties Negotiated.
The texts governing the Leagues
action comprise % five special treaties
concluded between the allied and asso-
ciated powers and Czechosolvakia
Greece, Poland. Rumania and Yugo-
slavia; (2) four special chapters in
serted in the treaties Of peace made
with Austria. Bulgaria. Hungary and
Turkey: (3) five declarations made be-
fore the League Council by Albania
Estonia. Finland. Latvia and Lithuania
and a. two special conventions-the
Germano-Polish convention and the
for the territory Of Memel.
The League covenant has no spe-
cial clause on the protection Of min
critics, but the idea Of general sys-
tenn of protection has been discussed
several times in the Assembly. In
1922 the League Assembly adopted q
resolution voicing the hope that states
which are not bound by legal obliga-
tions to the League with respect tc
minorities will nevertheless "observe
in treatment of their own racial. religi-
Gus or linguistic minorities at least as
high a standard of justice and tolera-
ton as is required by any OF the treaties
or by the regular action of the
Council"
It is this resolution which may be
invoked if in a forthcoming discus
sion of minorities there is brought
about a consideration of the situation
of the Jews in Germany.

REPAIRS
INJUSTICE"

President Roosevelt and Secre-

dropped State affairs long enough
to see justice given to victim
of Uncle Sans economy.
The apparent injustice resulted
when Park Policeman Jerome B.
LaWler, jr., was injured while
patrolling Rock Creek Park on a
motorcycle recently.
Confined to the hospital, Lawler
was dropped from the park police
payroll because he was unable to
work. Under the law all en-
ployes of the Interior Department
office of the National Parks,
buildings, and reservations can re-
ceive no pay when absent from
their work because they are now
paid on a temporary basis.
Informed of Lawler's plight,
Secretary Ickes, with the ap-
proval of the President, today
ordered Lawler appointed to the
park police force at $4,000 a year.
This appointment enables him to
draw pay while on sick leave.

BANK
FACES RULING
On MONDAY
Approval or Rejection of Its
Reopening Plan Due at
Treasury Farley

Final approval or rejection of
reorganization plans for the
Franklin National Bank is ex-
pected to be announced Monday,
developments Indicated today.
Preliminary conferences have
been held between officials of the
bank and representatives of the
depositors committee preparatory
to a final conference with Treas
ury officials Monday.
Differences of Opinion
Reopening of the bank has
been delayed because of a differ
ence of opinion between Treasury
and bank officials over the con-
dition of the banks capital struc-
ture.
It has been the claim of bank
officials that the capital struc-
ture is unimpaired and the bank
can reopen and pay IS per cent
of depositors' claims Immediately.
Decision Due
Treasury officials, however, have
insisted that stockholders of the
bank contribute a sufficient sum
to restore the capital of the bank
with IAN adequate surplus"
These differences are expected
to be ironed out Monday and
some agreement reached as to
conditions of the relicensing.
