HOT COAL NEW
NRA WORRY
BY International News Service


Production of "hot coal"-like
hot OILS becoming an increas-
ingly serious problem, NRA Off
Gals admitted today.
With thousands of miners unem.
ployed and small coal mines dot
ting the entire bituminous coal
area, more and more coal is being
produced in disregard of the code
and "bootlegged" into consumers
bins.
The production comes from
some coal firms charged with VIC
lating the code but is chiefly from
those which have never been q
party to codes.
A recent investigation disclosed
that thousands of tons of coal
have been mined in Pennsylvania
Maryland and West Virginia in
violation Of the code and shipped
by truck to dealers, who retail it
at cut prices.
Revocation of Blue Eagles and
threatened prosecution have been
resorted to, but thus far, it is
generally conceded, no serious
check has been placed on hot
coal"

Grams, it is felt that they will
benefit by the early announce
ment of the Presidents attitude
toward the bonus, although that
announcement was no made in
terms of uneqGivocal opposition to
immediate payment of the ad-
juSted service certificates.
Vets Resentful
Many veterans deeply resent
the imputation carried by the
Presidents speech that they al
ready constitute a privileged
class They do not believe that
the fact that hospital facilities
have been supplied those incapacl-
tated in the World War initiates
against their receiving now the
additional compensation which
the Government is obliged to give
them within a few years anyway.
Republican candidates already
have leaped upon the Roanoke
speech in their campaigns. They
are proclaiming that, while the
New Deal administration stands
for granting special privileges to
every other group or class in the
country, it is standing steadfast
against the legitimate claims or
the veterans.
The attitude which the Ameri-
can Legion may take at its Mi
ami convention this week is felt
to be relatively unimportant in
connection with the current Con-
gressional campaign-that is, it
is felt to be unimportant unless
the convention adopts resolutions
demanding immediate payment.
Believe Demand is Strong
Regardless of what action the
convention may take the idea has
been firmly implanted in the
minds of Congressional candi-
dates that the rank and file Of
the Legion, and of other veterans
organizations, demands that the
bonus be paid at once.
It has been the feeling OF both
Senators and Representatives that
the Legion has been prevented
from demanding bonus payment
not because the members did not
want the bonus but because the
efforts of Legion leaders were sui

ficiently powerful to prevent Tor
NAL expression Of the wishes Of
the rank and file"
1t is possible that this condition
will persist through the Miami
convention and that the Legion
will not adopt the program which
the Administration is so anxious
to sink.
Votes for Bonus Pledged
Even so, and Notwithstanding
the expressed wishes of President
Roosevelt, there is no doubt that
many of the Democratic congress
Sional candidates are running this
year on the claim that they will
vote for the immediate payment
of the bonus.
In view of this attitude by the
Democrats and the natural incli-
nation of the Republican candi-
dates to profit by the bonus stand
of the Democratic President, it is
expected that the bonus ranks in
both parties will be swelled as a.
result Of the elections next month.

Legion Opens Meet,
Bonus Issue Live

This is a new and novel
doctrine which proceeds upon
the theory that there is a moral
justification to prefer the Civ
ing of charity to the payment
of just obligations.
This theory overIooks the
fact that our Government in
the World War reS0rted to con-
scriptiOn from all walks of life.
In the great group of those
unemployed and in distress,
there are countless thousands
who wore the uniform, with
other thousands who depend
upon them. The groups in con-
siderable part are one and the
same"

will become . weakness, our
goals will never be reached. Nor
must we forget that II we be-
come selfish and self-Seeking, we
shall be taking bread from the
mouths Of our disabled and
their dependents"
With the stage thus set, Sen.
ator Steiwer launched his attack
on Administration policies.
He asked the Legion to merely
recommend cash payment of the
bonus when its payment would
not embarraSS the AdminiStra.
ton. He also asked the veterans
to say where the Government
should get the necessary cash
either by issuing currency or by
selling bonds.
Mere SubstitutionS
Senator Steiwer said:
"The powerful arguments in
favor Of prepayment of these
certificates will not be strength
ened by peremptOry demand Of
those who have q financial in
tereSt in the payment. Those
arguments will stand on their
own merit. The country must
be made to see that even
though prepayment requires an
increase in the public debt, the
increase is not a new obligation.
"The payment would merely
substitute one form of Obliga-
ton for another, and by making
the payment at the time when
the veterans need it most. The
Government relieves itself from
the obligation which it would
otherwise be compelled to meet
in 1945."
Then Senator Steiwer took di
rect issue with the Presidents
Roanoke address, but withou
mentioning Mr.. Roosevelt by
name.
II feel somebody from this
platform should deal with the
proposition recently advanced
that our Government cannot
prepay the compensation GER
tificateS because of financial
inability and especially because
the nations first duty is to-
ward the poor and UNDER
privileged.

AND BYRD
WARM Up To
PRESIDENT
BY EARL GOODWIN

by CAnL UOO"AN
That warm Roosevelt smile
seems to have gone a long way
coward thawing out the frigid at
situde exhibited of late by those
Two stalwart Virginians, Senators
Carter Glass and Harry Byrd. The
Presidents trip through the Old
Dominion last week end, coupled
with the appearance of Master
Politician James Farley at a
Roanoke mass meeting has had
their effect.
Senator Glass once called the
Blue Eagle a BLACK Buzzard,"
and has been an out-and-out op-
ponent Of much of the Administra-
tons fiscal and economic policy.
But of late his close associates
have noted he has been doing
nothing that would give a Republ1-
can the slightest comfort. On the
trip to Williamsburg last week he
rode with the President, stayed
as close to him as possible, and
posed with him for newspaper
photograph.
Byrd Pulling Punch
Senator Byrd, running for re-
election, is a farmer OF the mil
lionaire class and associates close
ly with the type of agriculturiStS
who make millions in tobacco. He
bitterly assailed the AAA in q
speech which has been widely
printed to damage the Roosevelt
Administration.
Virginians who are informed OF
the inside story say that Senator
Byrd was legged on" to make this
speech by Henry Breckenridge,
John w. Davis and Alfred p:
Smith, Democrats of the Wall
Street variety. Henry Brecken-
ridge, assistant secretary Of war
when President Roosevelt was as
Sistant secretary of the navy in
President wilson's Cabinet, is
running for the Senate on a sort
of reactionary independent ticket
in New York.
But this opposition to the AAA
on the part of Senator Byrd was
in the nature of a bad guess, his
friends say. Members Of President
Roosevelt's party last week were
informed that the AAA has made
% farm counties IN Virginia COM
paratively rich, and has done a lot
for 40 others. So Senator Byrd is
not putting so much lung power
these days into his attacks on the
AAA. He saw, too, the cheering
crowds which lined the streets in
Virginia towns when the RooSe-
welt train went through.
WoOdrum Is Threat
There is another ominouS stu
alton threatening the elder states
men of the Virginia dynasty. Up
from the ranks has rsien the fair
haired boy of this Administration,
Representative Cliff Woodrum,
who is carrying a large share OF
the New Deal burden in Congress.
He was chairman of the dedica-
ton of the hospital at Roanoke
where the President put the bonus
away in lavender; he is the man
Postmaster General Farley would
like for patronage dispenser in
Virginia.
It is known on the inside circles
Mr., Farley would rather deal
through cliff Woodrum than
through the two Virginia Senators.
Mr.. Farley's appearance at a mass
meeting in Roanoke Friday night
meant that he wanted to do some
thing in the way of honoring Mr..
Woodrum. He is looked upon as a
threatening possibility for higher
things; maybe the Senate.
