URGE CHILDREN BAN
BY HI. o. THOMPSON
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON June 28-Organ-
lied labor's opposition to the pro-
posed code of fair competition for
the cotton textile industry was
brought before the national indus
trial administration today by Tho
mas F. Mcmahon, president of the
United Federation of Textile
Workers.
Mcmahon proposed at the textile
code hearing minimum wage of
$14 a week, and no employment of
persons under Is.
The textile industry anticipated
the request for discontinuance of
child labor, and earlier in the days
session announced willingness 10
prohibit employment of children
under Is.
Mcmahon was rebuked by w. l..
Allen, deputy administrator, for his
stand. Allen, who was instrumental
in preliminary code proceedings, as
serted that Mcmahon hitherto had
indicated organized labor was ready
to accept in the main the code
provisions.
Objections Are Voiced
Mcmahon said other objections
to the proposed $40 minimum wage
were:
l. Alleged failure to establish an
actual minimum wage because of
exemptions for cleaners and outside
helpers.
2. The suggested rates of $40 in
the south and $11 in the north were
alleged by Mcmahon to be too
low"
8. Failure of the proposed code to
specify limitation for employment
Of women in night work.
Representative of independent
cotton manufacturers dealing in
specialized products appeared to
propose various changes in code
under which the industry would be
operated during the present eco
nomic emergency.
Some suggestions fell in with la
boris attitude, notably one for a
higher minimum wage and readiust-
ment of working hours.
S5-Hour Week Urged
Mcmahon proposed 35-hour
week with machinery limited to 70
hours of production per week. He
declared against the proposed 40
hour schedule.
He said the ultimate object should
be 30-hour week for all industry.
He declared the plight of unskilled
workers in the textile industry
should merit attention.
I'VE have been able to find no
family budget unless it be the
budget created by a mill owner, that
can be met by wage of $14 per
week. he said.
Mcmahon said labor did not &C
cept the $14 minimum as a perma-
nent minimum. He gave notice of
his organizations intention to plead
for higher wages as soon as condi-
lions in the industry warrant.

United Press STAN Correspondent

the approval of President Roose-
velt.

STEVE. DENIED
new TRIAL, TO
KEEP FIGHTING
Fight for Freedom to Be
Carried to U. S.
Supreme Court.
PETITIONS DISMISSED
High State Tribunal Refuses
Rehearing and Closes
All Actions.

Claiming that the due process OF
law" section of the federal Consti-
tuition has been violated, B. G. Jen-
kines, attorney for d. G. Stephen
son, announced today that he will
take the case to the United States
supreme court.
Petition for writ of error coram
nobis also will be filed in Hamilton
circuit court at Noblesyille, the at
tOrney said.
Jenkines made the announcement
at Gary when informed by The
Times that the Indiana supreme
court had turned down all Stephen
son petitions pending there.
The higher court refused to grant
a rehearing in the murder appeal,
dismissed a petition for a writ of
error coram nobis, and denied an
injunction petition to keep prison
authorities from interfering with
Stephenson's contacts with his at
torneys.
Justice Walter E. Treanor of the
court dissented in these findings, as
he previously dissented when the
murder conviction was affirmed
Two Avenues Still Open
Stephenson, one-t time grand dragon
of the Ku-Klux Khan and a G. O. P.
political power in Indiana is serv-
ing a life term at the Indiana state
prison for the murder of Miss
Madge Oberholtzer of Indianapolis.
Jenkines said that his 1mprisou-
ment is a gross violation of the
due process provision of the United
States Constitution and relief will
be sought from the highest court
in the land"
Should this fail, two avenues still
remain open. The Indiana supreme
court pointed out in the majority
opinion handed down late Tuesday
that the Hamilton circuit court now
can be petitioned in a coram nobis
action.
Petition for clemency can be
made to the state pardon board or
directly to Governor Paul V. Nc
Mutt.
Same Stand Is Taken
Stephenson was convicted in
Hamilton circuit court and sem
fenced by Judge Will M. Sparks,
since promoted to the federal court
of appeals at Chicago.
Conviction was affirmed by the
supreme court in a three to two
decision. Treanor and former JUS
tice Clarence r. Martin disSented.
They held that it was wrong to
establish bad law on the grounds
that justice is being done in an
individual case.
Republicans were in the majority
on the court when the conviction
was affirmed. But the same stand
was taken in the denials Tuesday
by the Democratic justices.

Prices broke as much as
612 cents at the start, and
later there was a rally to
above the dollar mark for
December.
Selling was resumed, however,
and prices finished several cents
lower with stop loss orders picked
up on the way down. May went
under the dollar mark closing at
99A cents.
The other grains followed wheat.
The sensational rise of more than
81 cents in wheat in the last week
resulted in an over-bought condition,
and the break was not unexpected.
All grains closed with sharp reduc-
lions in price levels.
Wheat Cents Lower
At the close, wheat was So to
5A cents lower, corn to 37s cents
lower, oats 3A to 3S cents lower.
rye Az to cents lower and barley
5A to 51a cents lower. Provisions
were unevenly weak.
Selling was in enormous volume
at the start as the public took its
profits. A lack of support was re-
vealed and while there was good
recovery, the market continued 3
to cents under the previous close.
The heat wave remained I'M
broken, but some rains in the
southwest indicated the corn belt
and Dakotas also might benefit
from precipitation. Liverpool closed
unchanged to Is cents lower. Cash
prices were l cent lower. Receipts
were cars.
Corn Break Is Sharp
Corn had a break equally as sharp
as wheat, falling to cents at the
start, but recovered well to stand
21s to "a cents lower at mid-ses-
sion. The western end of the corn
belt received some rains, but the
belt as whole was unreliable. Cash
prices were IL to Q cents lower.
Receipts were 254 cars.
Oats lost less than the other
grains and after the first rush of
selling was out of the way trading
quoted down, revealing a strong
undertone. The market was down
y to 21s cents at mid morning.
while rye fell to 81 cents lower.
Cash oats were l cent lower. Re-
ceipts were twenty-five cars.
