CHILD LABOR

COTTON GROUP
Leader Says $40 Week
Minimum Would Gust
Baby Workers.
URGE 4o-HoUR WEEK
First Industry Hearing
Under Recovery Act
Is Begun.
BY HI. o. Thompson
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Child
labor in the cotton textile industry
probably will be eliminated through
application of g. code OF fair COM
petition, George A. Sloan, president
of the Cotton Textile Institute said
today at the first of the industry
hearings under the national recov-
cry administration.
Sloan, recognizing complaints
which have been made since the
presentation of the textile industry's
proposed code, said he and his asso-
ciates would be glad to deal with
the child labor problem.
In the first place." Sloan said,
setting of the minimum wage at
$40 would make the hiring of chill
dren uneconomical.
Urges 40-HOur Week
THE number of children under 16
employed in the cotton textile in
dustry is less than 2 per cent of
the total. Application of this code
probably would eliminate even the
small percentage now employed"
Sloan, representing the textile in
dustrys argument for an agreement
a maximum work week of forty
hours, said such a code would in
crease the present 100000 textile
workers by an additional 100000.
Destructive conditions such as
overcapacity. overproduction and
price cuttinf even to points below
the cost of production would be
remedied, he said, under the pro-
visions.
Sloan read a telegram from the
child labor committee of New York
asking him to consider an amend
ment to the code outlawing employ
ment of children under Is.
Injects Tariff Issue
I'VE are entirely willing to con-
slider the matter he said, land it
may be desirable to provide for it
in supplementary code"
The tariff issue was injected into
the hearing by Sloan, who said pro-
lection must be given to prevent
competition that would divert trade
to foreign industries.
He pointed out that the increased
cost of production under the textile
code would in effect constitute a
discrimination against American
industry.

Any Roosevelt Plan Sure of
Support, World Par
ley Told.
BY HARRY FLORY
United Press staff Correspondent

LONDON, June 27-Congress will
ratify any tariff agreement proposed
by President Roosevelt, Representa-
tive Samuel D. McReynolds, chair
man of the house foreign affairs
committee, assured private meet
ing of the economic subcommittee
of the world economic conference
today
He also said the United States
delegation here is willing to con-
slider any tariff reduction agree
ments within the scope of Secretary
of State Cordell Hull's tariff
resolution, presented to the con-
ference.
McReynolds denounced the Haw-
ley-Smoot tariff act, blaming the
Republicans for it and contending
that the Democrats had opposed it.
However, replying to an attack by
Walter Stuck of Switzerland against
United States tariffs, he said
Europe's quota system was equally
Objectionable.
France Clings to Plan
He pointed out that the United
States domestic policy already had
restored 100000 men to jobs and
increased commodity prices 16 per
cent.
1--WE hope" he continued, that
other nations can do the same
thing. We can aid in this by reduc-
ing tariffs and cutting off trade
barriers and quotas
France chung tenaciously, despite
American opposition, to her insis-
tence that currency sterilization
must lead the world to better times.
With the conference awaiting
eagerly and somewhat Eervously the
arrival of Professor Raymond Moley
with President Roosevelt's new in
structions to the American delega-
ton, and with reports current that
Holland might go off the gold
standard, Georges Bonnet, French
finance minister, outlined his coun-
try's policy to the monetary sub
committee.
Bonnet Makes Appeal
In a strong appeal for stable
monies, Bonnet said little of per-
manent value could be accomplished
toward bringing the world back to
normal until nations agreed to
stabilize their currencies.
Bonnet, DR.. Alberto Beneduce of
Italy, and Alfred Sarasin, president
of the governing board of the Swiss
State bank, all showed, in a series
of speeches that wound up the sub
committees long general discussion,
support for Great Britafns policies,
rather than those of the United
States as expressed Monday by Sen
ator James Couzens Rep., Mich.)
of the American delegation.

The chase of the two men arrest
ed by Swego, Leo Francis, 103 West
Walnut street, and Edward r.
Young, %, roomer at 1888 West
Thirtieth street, started at Wheeler'S
restaurant, II West Market street,
and ended just north of Mayor Sui
livan'S home when the tax forced
the bandit car to the curb.
Entered Restaurant Alone
Today at city hall, Mayor Sulli-
van will go before the board of
safety to publicly commend Sweeps
action.
The car was stopped near the
restaurant shortly before midnight.
Leaving Young in the car, double
parked at the curb, Francis entered
the restaurant alone, according to a
report to police by Glenn Layton,
%, of 1850 North Delaware street,
night manager of the restaurant.
Demanding money, the bandit
pulled gun. Layton tried to wa ste
time by fumbling with the cash reg
lister.
Seizes $3.50 From Till
The bandit demanded that Layton
hurry and seized $3.50 from the till
just as a customer entered. The
robber dashed into the street, with
Layton and the customer IN pursuit,
shouting to attract the attention
of Swego, who was leaving his sta
ton as traffic officer at Illinois and
Market streets.
The car, gathering speed, swung
on to North Illinois street. Swego
leaped to the running board of a
taxi cab driven by Leon AIgood.
HOB Kappes street.
While scores looked on, the
chase, joined by hastily summoned
police radio cars moved northwest
into Indiana avenue then north on
Capitol.
Officers Open Fire
Near North Street the taxi came
abreast of the car and Swego or
dered the driver to halt. When the
driver failed to obey, Swego opened
fire directly in front of the mayors
house.
When Sullivan reached the spot
where the chase ended, they found
Swego holding the two prisoners
while crowd, aroused by the shots,
gathered. He congratulated the
officer.
Later Mayer Sullivan said:
."Swego's work deserves the COM
mendation of all citizens. The city
should be proud to have men in the
police department who conduct
themselves so courageously."

with robbery and auto banditry
