Acts With Caution.
All signs indicate the administration
will not back down. but that it will
proceed with extra caution so as to be
sure of its ground.
1t cannot afford to make mistake.

BEAVER, Okla, October 30.-The
Oklahoma Panhandle may be dry and
dusty. but to the tillers of its sandy soil
it's home, sweet home, and 10000 in
habitants resent any suggestion that
they move.
1t all came before the public gaze
when Representative w. E. Marland,
Democrat, of Oklahoma, quoted Secre-
tary Ickes as suggesting the area, in
cluding five counties, be turned back to
the public domain in exchange for
more arabic land"
The storm Of protest that arose from
the sand-swept prairies was as intense
as any Of last years 81 dust storms.

Texas County was the banner county
of the country in wheat production.

We've got good land out here when
we get the rainfall" said Thomas z.
Wright. Beaver Countys State Repre-
sentative Maybe the land could be
termed marginal because We miss a
crop once in a while for want of rain
but it's usually heavy producing area. y
John Blake, farmer, expressed his
view emphatically:
This is as good as anybody'S coun-
try, and we are not going to leave. We
have sent carloads of wheat to Ne
braska. the Dakotas and Arkansas when
the people there were in need. Now we
ask for relief for our first time"

NEW YORK, October 30-In the

A. Silcox, newly appointed chief Of the
United States Forest Service, sees not
only a temporary employment aid but
the development of permanent system
of training for many young men.

1T can give these men health and an

for the big fellow, and all for the little

The same thing has happened Oh

A stronger price boosting policy is
being effected with even smoother guile.

Then came hints that perhaps SINH

The truth is that behind these indi

movement to raise the price of all farm
products through making loans on them
above The prevailing market price.
1t cannot be concealed much longer

admit it.

fair competition and the Presidents
Unemployment agreement.
When these bids were opened on
October 2. the plaintiff says it was
disclosed that its bid of s4 .248 800 was
Sll2,800 lower than any other. Two
Gays later, according to the suit, the
bid was protested on the ground the
plaintiff had not signed either the
code of fair competition the re-
employment agreement at the time the
bid was submitted.
On October 25. it is alleged. the
plaintiff was formally notified that his
bid had been rejected because he had
not signed the agreements and that
the award would be made to the sec
ond lowest bidder.
Law Violation Charged.
Contending that by the act of sub
mitting bid the plaintiff automatically
obligated himself to conform in all par
ticulars to the specifications concerning
the code and unemployment agreement.
the suit alleges that the action Of the
Treasury Department in attempting to
make the award to higher bidder is
contrary to law Although not alleged
in the suit, filed through Attorney Ar
thur j. Phelan of the firm of Hogan
Donovan. Jones. Harrison and Guider. it
is understood the plaintiff contends he
actually signed the Unemployment
agreement two days after submitting
the bid The code of fair competition,
it was said. has not been finally ap-
proved by the administration and con-
sequently has not been signed by the
plaintiff
1t is believed the allegation of the
signing of the employment agree
ment was not made so that the right
of the Secretary Of the Treasury 10
refuse the award can be tested as a
matter of law without considering dis
puted questions of fact.

SINISTER PURPOSE
LAID TO STEEL CODE
Labor Representative Tells
Hearing Industry's Heads
Oppose Unionism.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
P. ]. Morrin. labor representative, to-
day contended the proposed N. r. A.
code for the structural steel and iron
fabricating industry had been drawn up
"for the purpose of accomplishing the
sinister and anti-social objectives of the
United States Steel Corporation and the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation"
Morrin made this assertion at hear
ing on the projected code. He spoke
as general president of the Internation-
al Association of Bridge, Structural and
Ornamental Iron Workers.
Declaring the major steel companies
had anti-union motives with relation to
the iron and steel erection industry, he
demanded a separate code for that in
dustry.
Corporations in Unity.
'These two corporations" Morrin
said referring to United States Steel
and Bethlehem Steel, have united in
their efforts for many years to elm
mate labor unions and independent
erectors who employ organized labor,
from the structural steel erection in
dustry.
If the unionized ironworkers are to
be emancipated from the destructive
control of anti-union fabricating estab
lishments, as exemplified by the United
States Steel Corporation and the Beth
lehem Steel Corporation, the steel fab
ricating and erection industries must
be segregated into separate codes"
Green for Separate Codes.
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, joined
with Morrin in contending that the
makers of steel and the workers who
erected it belonged under separate
codes. Green said he did not under
stand why they had been put III the
same code.
rs it selfshnesS?" he asked, "Or is it
open defiance of the presidential pro-
gram?"
Green also criticized the proposed
code on the ground it would allow a
maximum working week of 45 hours
under some circumstances.
