a method of keeping Dillinger quiet

Leading advocates of the pay res

nitely whether the proposal will be
made as a separate bill or as an
amendment to one of the early ap-
preparation bills. A study of the par

the answer.

CONSTANT GAMING
ARRESTS ADVISED
Crime Experts Say Police
Can Harass Operators
and Tire Them Out.

Mote: Acceding to recent re.
quest by United States Attorney
Garnett, The Star, the Post, the
Times, the Herald and the city's
four broadcasting stations are re-
tusing to gid the numbers racket
by dissemination of the race total
numbers 11ith which the game here
Is conducted. Publication or broad.
casting OF such totals is of no in
terest outside the numbers racket
Although the numbers racket as
operated in Washington and the East
has not spread to the West Coast,
comparable petty gambling games in
that section have been the basis for
more serious types of lawlessness.
Three Caljfornians attending the
crime conference here offered this
warning In commenting on the spread
Of the numbers game in this city.
Chief w. G. Walker Of the State
Narcotics Bureau of California, q
leader in the constant fight being
waged against smuggling Of Oriental
drugs into West Coast ports, described
the tie-up often found between
gambling. dope running and dope
consumption.
Side Rackets Seen.
The dope crowd, both users and
sellers, will stop at nothing in the
way Of criminality. And because
most Of the trading is done on the
streets, 10 dark corners and up alleys,
the sellers often have a side racket
they can work at the same time, We
never ran across the numbers game
you have here, but there are several
kinds Of lottery schemes worked out
that way on small change basis.
ut would be easy for your num-
bers runners to ease into the dope
selling trade and carry it on while
disposing of their numbers slips. And
If you think the numbers game among
school children is dangerous, just let
the dope racket get a start. MY ad-
vice is to jump on anything of this
kind, and don't do it gently"
Referring to the means of combat
ting these lotteries which resembles
the numbers game, Chief of Police
William j. Quinn of San Francisco
advised continuous arrests"
I'VE do everything we can to make
1t tough for these fellows. Even when
we lose cases or get only light fines,
we keep after them, arrest the same
ones often, tire them out, worry them.
1t may resemble an endurance test
between the law and the lawless, but
we can last longer than they can"
frightened laws have helped blot
out this kind of racketeering in Cali
fornia, Earl Warren, district attorney
at Oakland, said.
California Laws Strict.
II have specialized in hitting at
the so-called petty rackets and we
succeeded in strengthening California
laws so that possession of any gambl-
ing paraphernalia is SUFFICIENT for ar
rest and conviction. In addition, we
make owners of premises on which
such paraphernalia Is found liable to
the consequences. This makes it
hard for the gambling crowd to hire
or lease quarters" ..,
Across the country, in Rhode Island,
the numbers game is well known and
is being fought vigorously.
Superintendent of State Police Ed
ward j. Kelly, former Providence
chief, said:
THE numbers game has been
worked around Rhode Island for some
time, but when prohibition went out
and race tracks came in we found it
becoming more widespread than ever.
In the old days the racket in our

Chairman of Industrial
Board Says Price Fixing
May Be Abolished.
By the Associated Press.
AyY1rry "~@~

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 13.-Clay
Williams, chairman of the Industrial
Recovery Board. predicted today that
price-fixing would be eliminated from
the new N. r. A.
meeting his ideas on what the new
N. r. A. would be, Williams foresaw
that it would continue:
1. Minimum wages and maximum
hours.
2. The ban on child labor.
3. The collective bargaining guar
antee.
f. Provisions against certain un-
fair trade practices.
Eliminate Price Fixing Need.
Full compliance with wage and
hour provisions, williams said, would
largely eliminate the need for price
fixing.
Il am not unaware of the impor-
tance in which some groups still hold
the provisions of their codes that were
designed, inserted and insisted upon
as necessary to their chance of pros
perity," he explained.
And yet, raise before YOU the
question whether the problem of COM
pliance with wage provisions and the
problem of price maintenance pro-
visions are in fact two separate prob
lens requiring two separate answers
or whether on the other hand the
two problems are not so closely inter-
related that the answer to the first
automatically solves the second for
most industries and businesses to as
great an extent as it can ever be
solved in any other way"
Practice Declared Impossible,
He said that Gin many instances
the enforcement Of price-fixing pro-
visions with fairness to all concerned
has been found to be all but i'm
possible"
The exact form of the new N. r. A.
act, Williams said, "is not so i'm
portant."
"The important thing is that pub
lie opinion in this country has moved
definitely forward to where it is
demanding Of business that 1T ac-
cept q greater measure of social re-
sponsibility than it has ever borne
before"
