to Garment Concern Against
Striking Employees.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 17.-Judge Harry
M. Fisher in Circuit Court yesterday re-
fused a Chicago garment company an
injunction against striking employees,
because he said wages and hours vio-
lated the spirit of the national recov-
cry act.
The Judge ordered the firm to pay
a minimum wage Of sl2 week. to put
a 40-hour working week into effect. and
to adopt the provisions Of any N: r. A.
code which subsequently would be
adopted in the garment industry.
He ordered a years truce between
the company and its workers, the strike
to be terminated at once. and said that
because employees had agreed the COM
pany could not successfully operate a
closed shop, in the light Of present
competition, he would not require the
company to employ only union labor.
Strikers branded the company. which

CROPS CONTROL
PLAN To LAST

The Agricultural Adjustment
Administration, or similar gov
ernmentaI agency controlling the
production and distribution of
food and agricultural commod-
tiles throughout the nation, will
probably become a permanent
factor in national economic life.
Such is the prediction of high
officials in the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration, the
status of which is that of a
temporary agency with only two
years of life.
What the prophecy means to
the public is that henceforth
Uncle Sam may dictate the
amount of crops that can be
raised, what shall be paid for
them by professors and dis
tributors, and how much shall
be paid by the consumer for the
finished products.
The belief that such contol of
food and products like cotton and
tobacco will be extended from the
farm to the home from now on is
based on the theory that once such
control is started, it cannot be re-
linquished without creating chaos.
When the production and dis
tribution is once under control, it
is predicted, farmers who discover
the benefits of the plan will force
Congress to continue it. on at
least a quaSi-permanent basis.

the Journey to Oklahoma City be-
gins. Three machine guns are
trained on Kelly's cell to prevent
him from making good the sneer-
ing boast:
"PM be out Of this in no

Secretly arraigned in their cells
last night, Kelly and his titan
wigged young wife pleaded not
guilty and were held in default
of 100000 bonds by Commissioner
Lester Brennan on warrants
charging them with the kidnap:
ing of Urschel, millionaire oil
man whose family paid 100000
for his release.
To Fight ExtraditiOn
Kelly indicated they would
fight extradition to Oklahoma.
Kelly's taunts after his sudden
capture yesterday that he would
soon escape caused authorities to
abandon plans for removing him
to the Federal building for
arraignment.
Fearing that remnants OF his
gang might attempt to deliver
him from his captors, Federal
operatives decided to hold the
hearing in the county jail.
Plans to remove Kelly to Okla
homa City by airplane today were
abandoned on the advice OF Fed,
eral authorities at the Urschel
trial.
They asked that the two pris-
oners be kept here until the trial
of Harvey Bailey. Kelly'S gang
chieftain. and other defendants
accused of the Urschel kidnapping
is concluded.
The prosecutors said Kelly's
presence in Oklahoma City might
intimidate witnesses ready to tes-
tify against the gang.
The machine gunner is wanted
for murder in Kansas City, Chi

HERE BELIEVED
At MAXIMUM
Only Posts for Which Pay
Comes From PWA Are Likely
To Be Filled Soon
By DUNCAN FORSYTH

Indications are today that Fed
eral employment in Washington
is approaching q peak. and that
about the only jobs likely to be
filled in the near future are
those for which funds will be
provided to established agencies
through the Public Works Ad'
ministration.
This will mean, for the most
part, the return of furloughed or
dismissed employees to their for
mer Jobs. and residents of the
District, Maryland, and Virginia,
who are otherwise without much
chance of unemployment in the
Government service. will stand a
chance to get back if public
works funds make possible the
continuation of their old Jobs.
or substantially their old jobs.
Few Emergency Jobs
Employment in the emergency
agencies is now practically at q
standstill. Only the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration Is
calling for help at this time, and
employees there are added in con-
formity to civil service laws and
regulations.
The NRA already is beginning
TO reduce forces, and the Public
Works Administration has an
nounced that no more applica-
tions will be received. The same
condition is true with respect to
the Tennessee Valley authority,
which announces that its Wash
ington and field office personnel
is now complete. Any jobs.
except possibly few technical
appointments, will be filled by
Valley residents.
Bank Examiners Needed
Presumably there will be
appointed temporarily a large
number of bank examiners in
connection with deposit insurance,
but these jobs will not last long.
The Home Loan Bank Board
and the Home Owners Loan
Corporation apparently have filled
their staffs, and the same is true
of emergency units generally. The
only prospective openings in the
Federal service now appear to be
in those established agencies
which are recipients of public
works funds.
Old Employer Preferred
Inasmuch as these funds are
awarded largely to enable them to
continue work considered i'm
portant, if not essential, which
had been interrupted by the
economy program, for the most
part this will mean that former
employees will return to their jobs.
The principle of State apportion-
ment does not apply in such cases.
There has been much interest Of
late in the question whether civil
service workers have proved more
efficient in the emergency agen-
cies than those chosen from out
side on the basis of personal or
political selection. 1t is probable
that study will be made along
these lines.
