BY PAUL MALLON.

The Government itself learns
something new about governing every
day. There is, for instance, the case
of the Federal Trade Commission in
vestigating the textile mill profits.
As an aftermath Of the textile
strike the commission was directed
by the President to study operations
and profits of all textile mills. 1t
failed to get any response to Its
missionaries from about 300 firms.
In checking up on the recalcitrants,
two commission accountants went to
New Jersey. where many small textile
firms operate Some have as few as
6 to 10 looms in an old house some
where, yet their incomes often run
as high as $4,000 to $4,000 a year.
No Income Tax Filed.
With the cooperation of a textile
association, the Government agents
got reports from about 40 firms, but
could do nothing with the others be-
cause they kept no books. Informed
of this the commission here wired
back:
Tell them to give us information
from their income tax returns"
When the agents went to the asso-
citation with this proposal, the secre-
tary threw his hands in the air and

PAINTSVILLE, KY, December g.
Lightly regarding their two-hour pill
lory experience. three young men
rested in jail here today and announced
they would continue passive resistance
to working out fines "as long as We
live"
The three. all unemployed Paints
vile residents Jailed for drunkenness,
are James Price, 25; William Dills, Is,
and Oscar (Blackie) Pelphrey, %.
Town Marshal jeff Allen, who super
vises the work Of prisoners on the city

refused to work. Each had been fined
total of $3.50.
Refuse to Work.
Unable to pay, they were ordered to
work with other prisoners on the
streets to liquidate their fines at the
rate Of 81 day.
Allen asked Judge Patrick:
How about claiming them to tree
while I watch the other prisoners
work?"
Judge Patrick told him to 60 ahead.
The three were chained in triangle,
on a main street corner near the court
house. Two were chained to posts,
the third to tree. Each had a as
pound iron ball padlocked to his chain
Crowds gathered. Price and Pelphrey
shivered in the chill mountain breeze

At first talkative, the men settled
into silence. Two hours passed. The
crowds engaged in a spirited discus
sion of the case. Judge Patrick or
dered the men back to Jail and indi-
Gated he would keep them there until
they got ready to work out their fines

Mrs NJ L. Price, mother of one Of
the prisoners. declared the affair was
the worst disgrace ever" to come to

city. The pillory, 1t was recalled, had
not been used as a means of punish
ment since Colonial days. In Frank
fort, Attorney General Bailey P. Woot-
ton, in response to query. said he
knew Of no provision in Kentucky law

SHORTCOMINGS REPORTED.
Richberg Addresses National Congress

nlCnDefR huuTcSScS NdtiOHdi NohBi Cos
Of Industry.
NEW YORK, December 6 LP).:The
failure of N. R. A. so far to fulfill all
the hopes of its founders was reported
last night by Donald Richberg, execu-
tive director of the National Emergency
Council.
The Presidents recovery co-ordinator
in an address made more significant
by the pending reshaping of N. r. A..
nevertheless told the National Con-
gress of American Industry here that
I'VE see the foundations of better
economic system outlined in the
principles which we have been seeking
to make effective in the last II
months"
To business lack of organizations to
take over the job of self-government,
and to opportunities missed by both
business and Federal officials, Richberg
attributed the failure to attain all
N. r. AS ends.
N. r. A. to Go On.
ut is much more important on this
occasion" he said, "for us to admit
candidly to each other that our ex-
pertinent with industrial self-govern-
ment demonstrated all too clearly that
private business is not yet Adequately
organized for collective action and
self discipline, and that political con-
trolls are a poor substitute for volun-
tary cooperation"
Richberg in strong words left no
doubt, however, that the N. r. A.
would 20 on. He declared, In effect,
also, that the Government was not
going to withdraw its hand in business
until private capital is more active.
He said:
1.-The wailing of timid men that
they dare not rehabilitate their plants,
that they dare not expand their busi-
ness or re-employ idle workers, until
the safety of their operations is as
sured by the Government, furnishes
only an incitement and justification of
further extensions of the protecting
and controlling powers of the state. "
Richberg found two faults IN the
operation Of N. r. A. He named them
as the eagerness of some business men
to use N. R. A. for their own personal
gain and the growth of "hampering
restraints Of rules and regulations"
Looking toward what is to come,
Richberg said, in part:
"Now we face the future with the
need of codes of fair competition and
of their wise administration more
plain than ever before, and the difl-
culties Of this achievement also made
more clear
I'VE see also that if we are to sue
ceed, we must enlist the cooperation,
not only of business management and
government, but also of workers and
consumers, in any endeavor to pro-
mote the smooth and continuous CO.
operation of private enterprises in the
service of the general welfare. . -
I'VE are passing out Of period
of unrestrained competition, wherein
| the guarantees Of liberty written into
the Constitution Of the United States
could be made good merely through
insuring to each individual property
| owner and worker the opportunity te
compete freely with his fellow either
in the use Of his property, or the

 thereby establishing two good
 spades in his hand. He next led a heart.
 You will notice that he did not play the ace of diamonds and take a discard. He won the trick with
 the king and then decided to play for a heart break. He led the five spot, East won the trick with the
 queen and returned the queen of clubs which MT Frank won with the ace, discarding the nine from dummy.
 MT Frank now played the two good spades. On the first spade West discarded club. On the sec ond spade West had to do some thinking. He incorrectly reasoned that the declarer must have at least
 one diamond, otherwise why hadn't he cashed his ace of diamonds when he was in the dummy? So West discarded the jack of clubs, bear
 ing down to the king.
 All MT Frank had to do now was
 to lead the three of clubs. West
 was forced to win with the king, Mir Frank now had plenty of tricks 1 two good clubs and a heart and the ace of diamonds, making five-odd
