majority of the States abolished liquor
by statute.
My Judgment is that those States
would do we'll to hold onto their con-
stitutional or statutory prohibition, GER
tainly until the experiment with rcgU.a-
ton is tested out by States which at
tempt to legalize and control the liquor
traffic. Some satisfactory methods may
be found for liquor control by some
States. Many proposals have been
made. most of which seem to contem-
plate Statewide control and permanent
abolishment of the saloon. and are
modelled on methods in Canada, Swe-
den or other countries.
Issue Difficult in United States.
I have no faith in the liquor indus
try. and am convinced that the liquor
problem is quite different in the United
States from the problem in other coun-
tries We are not distinguished as a
moderate country. Besides while we
have 48 independent State Jurisdictions,
We have at the same time a single
national jurisdiction. This makes the
question more difficult than in smaller
countries.
Nevertheless, regulation and control
Of the liquor trade in those States
which do not prohibit it outright by
their constitutions or State laws should
be Statewide rather than local 1t
should be kept out Of politics, as every
body seems to agree. I have never
known it to be kept out of politics in
this country, when legalized at all
and have little expectation of seeing
it happen under the proposed twenty
first amendment

COAL CODE S|GNED,'
ENDING LONG FIGHT.
Johnson Indicates All Opera

delayed signature of the code until late
in the evening had been a disagreement
between the Northern and Southern
Appalachian groups as to how hourly
wage rates should be computed on a
tonnage basis.
This point. he said, was settled before
the operators came to his office to sign
the code, and as a result only two Oh
three matters which he described as
very minor, remained to be negotiated
before both Appalachian groups were
ready to sign their agreement with the
United Mine Workers for union opera
ton of the field
He said he could not conceive Of
any circumstances that would block ap-
proval of these contracts.
During yesterday afternoons confer
ences, johnson had gone to the White
House to give President Roosevelt a
complete picture of the situation. and
there were full indications that, unless
an agreement was forthcoming within
few hours, new presidential action
would be taken.
Both the administrator and his chief
plainly were impatient at the splitting
of hairs that had drawn out the nego-
tiations after final accord apparently
had been reached Friday night
All soft coal mines in the Nation are
covered by the code. including so-called
captive" mines. which are operated by
steel companies and other industries
for their own needs
The wage contracts held up signing
OF the code for almost "a hours after
general agreement was obtained
While some details remain to be set
f1n1 tNI A,
son said he could not conceive of these
delaying signature of the contracts
long.
The major difference ironed out Just
before the charter was signed involved
the computation of the hourly wages
when translated into tonnage rates be-
tween the Southern and Northern Ap-
paiachlan groups. This was first ad-
lusted to the satisfaction of the United
Mine Workers and the Southern op-
orators. but the Northern employers
contended a new and discriminating
differential had been established
This problem was settled satisfac-
torily just before johnson left the hotel
room. The contracts were not made
public.
Among those signing the code were

Control Association. E. c. Mahan for

MINERS AWAIT DETAILS.

= UNIONTOWN, Pa September l6 l4',.
Informed that soft-coal operators
had signed an NJ R. A. code for the
industry, striking Southwestern Penn
sylvania miners tonight awaited word
from their local leaders that would
send them back to work.
Uncertain as to the true meaning
of the working agreement. more than
10000 men on holiday" hesitated to
commit themselves as to whether they
would return to the mines Monday
The feeling was general that the
codes subscription to the principle of
collective bargaining means recognition
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica. but workers awaited the definite
assurance of their immediate coun-
sellors.
In the Fayette County area. center
Of the holiday" declared Thursday in
protest against delay in adoption of a
code, the majority of the colleries are
captive" mines owned by the H. c.
Frick Coke Co., a United States Steel
subsidiary.
Decline TO Give Views.
The Frick company has not recog-
niZed the union since 1898, and the
miners declined to express an opinion
on the. code pending Frick adherence to
the principle of union recognition.
The suspicion which has marked the
miners reaction to operators activities
was manifested in their frank ques-
ton DO they recognize the union?"
The increased wages and shorter
hours provided by the code aroused a
feeling of guarded jubilance, but no
general celebration of the agreement S
signing developed at any point in the
vast coal fields.
No local leader could be persuaded
to comment ON what the workers are
likely to do. all of them maintaining
an attitude of "Watchful waiting" with
interest centered mainly in the Frick
Companys eventual action.
With the mines idle for five days and
no income for thousands of workers,
the problem of sustenance for the min-
ers intruded itself in the situation.

Industrial Union Leads
Rank and File Fight
Against Betrayal
BY CHARLOTTE TODES

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. r.
The road to amalgamation
promises to be far from smooth
for the four shoe unions partic-
ipating in the Boston Convention.
In the first days of the convention
and in events Immediately preceding,
certain alignmentS can be seen which
are going to try to block the path to
unity and a militant program.
Officials Fear Rank and File
Already controversies are looming
on the question Of limiting the voting
strength of the Industrial union, the
Shoe and Leather Workers Industrial
Union, by means Of which certain
elements in the convention hope to
weaken the influence Of the union. At
the same time officials are trying to
limit the size of their own delega-
lions out of fear of the strength Of
the rank and file in the convention.
Several hundred members of the Pro-
tective Union we're declared ineligible
to participate in the convention on a
technicality.
The rank and file in the convention
are for amalgamation on the basis Of
militant Industrial unionism. Several
locals of the National and Protective
shoe unions have gone on record for
this. Local No. IS of the Protective
Union in Haverhill, with 500 men,

Rep. Dickstein Nazi
Quiz Peters Out AS
Membership Away
BY SEYMOUR WALDEIAN
Daily Worker Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, u. e, DEC. L.
Boycotted by eight of the nine MEM
bers of his own House Sub-Comnlit-
tee on Naturalization and Imn1igra-
ton, Representative Samuel Dick
stein (Democrat) Of New York City
today concluded his preliminary
hearings on Nazi propaganda In the
United States.
The chairman of the Sub commit
tee sat alone and disconsolate at the
huge mahogany hearing table, while
the few newspaper men present
openly TESTED at the spectacle.
OF the hundreds Of the correspon-
dents in washington, only four were
there, representing the United Press,
the Buffalo Evening News, Hearst's
international News Service and the
Daily Worker.
Before the beginning of today's ses-
sions Dickstein announced that he
had filed the charges with the Post
master General against Liberation"
an organ of the anti-Semitic Fascist
Silver Shirts, published at Asheville,
North Carolina, by william Dudley
Pelley, the guiding genius Of the new
liberation. Dickstein claimed that
Liberation" had nothing in 1t i'm
portant bearing on the arts or
sciences and demanded that the post
office Withdraw its second class mail
ing privileges.
The session closed with the placing
H.. y ~ 1f HnFII-
ment entitled Historical Sketch on
Oriein and Extent of Nazi Activities
in United States" printed by the
government. "for the use of the Com
mittee on immigration and Natur-
alization."
Dickstein. obviously mortified by
the snuhbing of himself by the rest
OF the subcommittee, hunched his
body under the bronze bust OF a
smiling George washington.
He tried to ignore the empty seats
by talking to the reporters off at the
side of the committee table.
"The German Consul in Color"
Dicksteln declared, while Rossbottom
was in the witness chair, visited
your ships and instructed the crew
to bring in Nazi literature through
his office. This literature, which was
kept in the lockers of the seamen and
the stewards, was also used to propa-
gandize the passengers, furthermore,
a number of Germans have been
brought into Colon without the
proper certificates emitting them to
work on American ships"
That's impossible on Our ships. We
do not have anybody in Colon"
Dickstein informed the press after
the close Of the session that testi-
mony had been presented secretly
to the committee that forty-four
Germans, working as stewards,
cooks and seamen on the Panama
Lines, operate as Mani ccuriers and
propagandists.

tered Columbus Hall, where the meet
ing had been held, Terzani told him
he knew who killed Fierro, and
pointed out Khaki Shirt member,

The policeman testified that Ter
zani then showed him that the MUIR
der gun was hidden in the piano Oh
the keyboard.
Smith did not accuse Terzani un-
til five or ten minutes after Terzani
had accused Frank Moffer, the police
mans testimony revealed.
Another state witness, Detective
John Steinhauser, testified that Nolan
had handed him the gun in hand
kerchief. Stenhauser had examined
it for fingerprints with the naked eye
and then turned 1t over to Detective
Harry Butts, head of the police bal
liStic bureau. Steinhauser admitted
that no fingerprints were taken OF
Moffer, who was released the night
Of the Fierro Staying.
Judge Downs, who throughout the
course of the trial has acted as q
helpful mentor for the prosecution,
blew up when Hays sought to show
that the district attorneys office had
been negligent.
81 am not concerned with whether
you think the district attorneys Of
flee was efficient" he snapped. "In
these days you are lucky If anyone
things well Of anybody else. To show
that you have no respect for the dis
trict attorneys office does not con-
Germ me. If the defendant is inno-
cent he should walk out of here. But
the mere fact that the district attor-
ney's Office may have made a mistake
and held the wrong man is not an
issue in this case"
Terzani, the defendant, had not yet
taken the sand when the Daily
Worker went to press last night.

Roosevelt government not only to
force the unemployed to work at
coolie wages, but also TO use this con-
dition as bludgeon to beat down
the wages of the employed.
The C.W.A. established minimum
wage of 40 cents an hour and maxi
mum Of 30 hours work. The lumber
N.R.A. code provides "A cents an hour,
or, at best, s11.52 for 4s-hour week.
Hundreds, however. are allowed only
two days work a week, or $3.48 cents
for 16 hours.
"a Cents An Hour Enforced
Earlys letter was printed and dis
tributed by the Southern Pine Asso-
citation along with a memorandum to
all manufacturers saying "the same
conditions and remedial measures

Within the past few weeks, the
Southern Pine memo said, several
lumber operators have been "faced
with the question of their labor seek
ing to register with the National Re-
Employment Service for work ON q.
WA. projects"
In other words, the slaves OF the
lumber camps harbored the illusion
that they might escape the peonage
OF 48-hours and $i1.52 a week or So. "a

the C.W.A. for $12 for 30-hour week.

which lays down the law that If the
operators requisition for laborers on
C.W,A. projects, they have no choice
but to go. And mo person who will
fully resigns position with con-
Germ operating under a code, in or
der to gain the benefit Of a higher
wage, will be considered for employ
ment on relief projects"
In the District Of Columbia the G..
WA. has become feeder for pri-
vate contractors paying wages under
the C.W.A. minimum of 10 cents. The
contractor simply acquisitions 80
many from the CIV. A. roll. The
worker, again, has no choice but to
go. And once he is of the roll Of
the C.W.A., he is replaced Immediate
ly; and If his private construction job
runs out in a day or week, he has
to wait his turn to get back on the
