cause of the failure of the partner
ship to show the gift on the record.
Some of the gifts date back far
enough to make the compound inter
est heavier penalty than the IS per
cent penalty.
Important Evidence Skipped
Still another development has Just
come to light, revealing the accuracy
of lLNS forecasts that the investiga-
tion might skip some of the most
important evidence. Morgan testified
during the hearings to the deprecia-
tion of the Morgan wealth, mostly in
government bonds and cash. He pre-
sented the figures to show loss of
some 40 per cent. 1t is now pointed
out that Morgans alleged loss ac-
tually was gain, because the resi-
due had more purchasing power in
terms of factories and railroads than
was possessed by the original amount
of Morgan wealth before the decline
Attorney Pecora let the point go en-
tirely by the board. He failed to
show that the House of Morgan was
a tremendous winner, instead of
loser.

WdSHiHBlOH.-AItef prolonged
debate in the senate, the National
industrial recovery act and public
works bill finally got through both
houses of congress with it's major
provisions for industrial stabilization,
economic planning, labor protection,
and employment for millions of the
jobless practically the same as origin
ally passed by the house of represen-
tatives and approved by the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and the
Railroad Brotherhoods.
Underlying Principles
The act provides for the establish
ment of "codes of fair competition"
in each industry, covering prices,
wages, hours of labor and general
work conditions.
The right of the workers to organ
ize and bargain collectively without
interference of any sort from employ
ers is firmly established, and employ
ers are expressly prohibited from
compelling employees either to join
company union or refrain from
joining bona fide labor organization
as the price of job.
Millions for Public Works
AS an immediate job producer the
act provides $3,300,O00,000 for pub
lie works of various sorts with the
work week limited to thirty hours
and the employment of convict labor
barred.
Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, appointed
by President Roosevelt to admins
ter the act, estimates that jobs for
around 100000 workers will be pro-
vided within the near future.
Wagner Explains Measure
A large amount of credit for the
law, must be given to Senator Robert
F. Wagner, of New York. He drafted
the bill as originally introduced, and

seas of parliamentary consideration.
When the measure was finally ap-
proved by congress, the New York
senator made a comprehensive state
ment regarding the principles and
purpose of the act He said, in part:
Right to Earn Living
"The single objective of the bill is
to give every deserving person per-
manent opportunity to earn COM
Portable living.
"In order to accomplish this pur-
pose we have enacted twentieth CEN
tury law to help solve twentieth cen
tury social and economic problems.
II believe that the depression, oc-
Cured and has been unduly prolong-
ed because we were trying to meet
new issues with outworn remedies,
with devices that served we'll in their
day, but could not last forever"
Fair Competition Codes
To-day we have learned that en-
forced planlessness disorganizes and
even wrecks trade and commerce.
"The new law will permit members
of any trade or industry to formu-
late code of fair competition, in
cluding a list of the practices and
methods which, in the judgment of
business men, will be most likely to
establish industrial order and restore
employment.

Rights of Labor Guaranteed
Under the new law, every code OF

every code must include provisions
as to minimum wages, maximum

COLORED BOY
CONFESSES TO
MONEY THEFT
HELD AND QUESTIONED RE-
LATIvE TO SIS STOLEN SUM-
DAY AFTERNOON AT HOME
OF EMIL SWEETING

The mystery of the theft OF
$15.03 from the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Emil Sweeting, 826 Eaton
street, on Sunday afternoon. July
8, was cleared up last night when
Jim Deyoe, colored boy of eight
years, confessed to the larceny.
Spending the money in a lavish
way. treating his buddies and Civ
ing cash to some of the women in
the community. he created sus-
picion in the minds of neighbors
and the sheriff's office was noti-
fled.
Chief Deputy Jaycocks investi-
gated and arrested the boy. Tie
told a fabulous story of finding
the money under q bottle in yard
several blocks away. Saturday aft
ernoon. Going back Sunday, the
money was still there but when
Jim left it disappeared.
Last night Mr.. Jaycocks began
to question the boy, who at last
broke down. cried and confessed
to the theft.
This morning the boy was turn
ed over to his aunt who had been
given some of the money by a
neighbor and what she got from
the boy. The whole amounted to
$3.50 and later Mr.. Jayeocks re-
covered another dollar, making
81 80 in all.
No punishment can be melted out
to q person of this age, it is said,
as the law does not hold . culprit
amsnable to punishment through
due process of law, until he is 10
! years old. Then he can be sent

There is a probability that an
other court investigation may re-
suit because of the return of some
of the money. One woman turn
ed over $3.50 which she says was
given by another woman. This
woman claims that she gave the
other woman SIS.

peace, is investigating.

now paid.
This was decided at a meeting
of the council held In the cham

TO any who worked last week.
With the increase of three cents
an hour. those receiving the re-

The increase in wages Is made
possible by an increase in the al

the monthly allotment was $4,000,
approximately $1,000 weekly.
Due to an important letter
written by Chairman William w.

by the secretary of the chamber
of commerce, the allotment was
raised $4,000. allowing $4,000 for
this month, or approximately
$500 weekly.

as to the increase in allotment
and members of the council advis-
ed, several of them agreed that
each of the letters written was
worth $1,000 to those to whom
