Johnson Says Authority to
License Press Does
Not Exist

CHICAGO, Nov. 7.-(UP).-
Describing NRA critics as witch
doctors who are setting up hob
COLLINS "to give the country the
jitters," General Hugh S. John
son launched a midwest speaking
tour yesterday with a strongly
worded attack on "chiselers."
The NRA administrator said he
was willing to follow President
Roosevelt blindly land let the
heather rage" on the strength of
the Roosevelt record.
Since March, Johnson said, the
president has "pulled this coun-
try about one-quarter of the way
out of the March depths"
Of the freedom of the press,
Johnson declared as a statement
of administrative law that not
only is there no intention to IL
cense newspapers, but that in his
opinion such a step would be i'm
possible under the constitution.
'In my official opinion" he
said, "there is no authority in
MIRA to license a newspaper.
Until that statement is overturn-
ed by the courts that administra-
tive Interpretation is the law"
Questioned after his address to
1000 members of the Illinois
Manufacturers association and
the Chicago Association of Com
merce, Johnson added that he saw
no possibility of his decision on
that point ever going to the
courts. as "there never will be
an attempt to license newspa-
pers."

ton should level this silly buga-
boo forever" he said.

he said in his address, 81 knew
that it was law that recognized
the rights of the little fellow as

that it stepped on few toes

"Now, lacking any criticism of

"This country. under the incl
tation of witch doctors, has the

RULING IN S. E. IS
ELIMINATING MANY
(UNITED PRESS)

In the most extensive election
since the national election a year
ago, when Roosevelt was elected
president, American voters went
to the polls to pass on several is
sues of national Importance.
Foremost among these was pro-
hibition repeal with the possibility
that three or more of the six states
voting would return wet victories
and abolish the 18th Amendment.
Next in Importance was the New
York mayoralty race. with Tam
many Hall facing the possibility
of its first major upset in twenty
years.
RALEIGH, Nov. 7.-(UP).-
Overcast skies and cold. damp
weather contrasted with the fore
cast, greeted an only fair to mid
ding vote in North Carolina to-
day. Charlotte and Mecklenburg
county people were voting in
great numbers and a light vote
was being cast at Asheville.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. T.
(UP).-Despite ideal weather a
light vote was being cast here and
throughout most of the state on
the repeal issue. Many voters
were unable to vote due to the
demanding registration
certificates, which was not done
at the presidential election last
year.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. (UP).
The Roosevelt administrator has
a heavy stage in today's elections,
though the political complexion
of congress is not involved and
little direct question of support
for or criticism of the admins
tration is linked with the results.
The list of states ratifying the
21st Amendment, voiding the 18th
and ending prohibition, almost
undoubtedly will pass the required
SO as six states elect delegates To
state conventions to pass on re-
peal.
The actual moment of victory
comes an anti-climax; the result
has been obvious for weeks. New
ertheless it is a major point in
the Administrations political life.
Taxes from liquor will reduce
other taxes-and reduced taxes
mean votes.
But the end of prohibition does
not come until December 5. and
the administration is anxious to
avoid the appearance of encourage
ing violations of the law by too
great exultation before repeal be-
comes effective. If victory comes
today, therefore, it is expected to
be greeted officially by restrained
of satisfaction which
will not over-emphasize the fact
that the dry law is dead.

MINIMUM WAGES FOR
NEGRO WORKERS

Opposition to paying Negro work
ers the minimum wages set by the
MIRA codes can only be characterized
as stupidity. There can of course be
no solidly-grounded and lasting re-
eovery with great numbers of work
ers receiving mere existence wages,
which IS the situation existing in
communities having large Negro pop
ulations. This is a fact which a great
many white people do not seem to
realize.
In one Georgia county, where Is
per cent Of the people are colored,
the whites are reported TO be refus-
ing to pay the Negroes the code min
jmum wages. Yet, as the National
Association for the Advancement Of
Colored People points out, they ex-
pect return to prosperity despite the
lack of purchasing power among near
ly half the population of the county.

NO PLACE FOR RICH
DILETTANTES

One Mrs. Mary Hartman Rumsey,
daughter of the late E. H. Hartman,
as head of the consumers advisory
committee of NRA, has been in a row
with Prof. Ogburn and the row goes
much deeper than a personal differ
cnce.
The big issue is whether this i'm
portant organization shall be run as
q society woman's show, on a hit or
miss basis so long as it never misses
the front page, or whether it shall be
run on basis of statistics, with
sound policies and direction.
Gen. Johnson has temporized with
the situation, which is understand
able, because Mrs. Rumsey is CO.
guest with Frances Perkins in the
home of Mrs. J. Borden Hartman,
not so rich but allied with a great
many political figures.
The whole thing is, at present, on
a basis of expediency which fits bad
ly with the general recovery pro
gram.
1t is nasty mess and something
ought to be done about it. This is no
time to play around with a situation
that involves the pocketbooks of mil
lions of wage earners. Gen. Johnson,
who has shown so much vigor and
courage in every other direction,
should not let this situation go by
default.

WISE MEN

All the wise men now in sight sur
rounded by college professors cannot
get blood from stone. 1t is equally
true that these wise men and these
college professors as advisors have
never been able to prevent periodic
depression, and they never vii! be un-
til there is a more equal division of
the profits on production. Just so
long as organized employers, combin-
ed in trusts, divert the major portion
of wealth created by labor to their
own selfish use, leaving not even a
pittance sufficient to keep the work
ers steadily employed, we shall have
depressions and unemployed workers.
If wise men know this and are too
selfish and greedy to apply the rem
edy, they and they alone will be re-
SponSlble for consequences that fol-

is applied, consequences may follow
that are not agreeable to contem-

CHILD LABOR

The number of child workers be-
tween the ages of 10 and Is in the
United States decreased Sc per cent
in the 20-year period from 1910 to
1880, dropping from 1,990,225 to
667,l18 in the Census Bureau re-
ports. School attendance for the
same age group increased from $685.
671 in 1910 to 13, 495,044 in 1880, an
increase of q per cent, the bureau
says.
The census figures indicate that
child labor was on the way out,
though the demand for cheap labor
since 1880 may have resulted in some
increase in the number of child work
ers. But public sentiment seems to
have at last turned decisively against
the ancient atrocity," as President
Roosevelt so truthfully described chlld
labor
The public feeling is reflected in the
progress made toward ratification of
the child labor amendment this year,
and even more by the general ap-
proval of the prohibition of child la
Dor by the national industrial recov-
cry act codes, which seem to be CIV
ing child labor the finishing blow.
But it is well to remember that the
opponents of child labor must not
relax their fight. Just as constant
vigilance is the price of liberty, SO
constant vigilance is necessary to
prevent the return of evils such as
child labor.
