NEW YORK.-A newspaper code
that greatly strengthens the hand of
the capitalist press supporting Roose-
welt, drawing the whole gigantic ma
chinery of newspaper publica ion
closer to control Of big bankers, and
the war mongerS. was approved Mon
day in an executive order issued by
President Roosevelt.
s+ Some Of the Republican news
papers, who still criticize Roosevelt's
, methods Of sharing the booty wrung
out of the workers among the various
groups Of capitalists, sharply criticize
the code because it gives their COM
petitors greater power.
With greater government super
vision over the press, the road is open
for a smashing drive against the
revolutionary and working class press,
which viii be used by Roosevelt dur
Ing any sharp crisis or at the time
Of strikes.
The code itself, so far as wages and
hours are concerned, provides She
following: In cities of 10000 popu-
lation or more, on papers Of a circu-
lation above $4,000. 40-hour, five
day week shall prevail for newspaper
men, with minimum wage rate of
, from 81 to SIS a week, and 40 cents
an hour for mechanical and printing
departments. In cities between $4,000
and $4,000, hours are A per week; in
smaller cities, 48 hours.
Mechanical and printing depart
ments OF the newspapers are allowed
a longer week, depending on the
supply Of skilled help" This leaves
the bosses a wide latitude on hours.
at the same time, with the Accent
an hour minimum rate, it gives them
lever to begin to batter down wages
at any time they want to do it,

Roosevelt about child labor" are
permitted to work IL hours a day;
from am. to pm. Boys deliver
ing to homes can work any number
of hours, without restriction.

Londos monopoly. He found out
soon enough that he had to take
instructions or he wouldn't get \
bout. This kind Of burned him up
because in wrestling workouts
without the groans and grunts--
he'd take on the topknotehers like
Abe Coleman and Nick Lutte and
give them a ride for a while before
pinning them.
He knew he could beat these

ever do. Then I'll quit and finish
my schooling"
But he didn't know he was get
ting punch drunk from headlocks
and body brushes. And soon he be-
came known as the half-mad wrass-
Ter. He took me down to see him
wrestle once and he did everything
undr the sun for notoriety. He
jumped around the ring, kicked the
referees buttocks, made his flying
led tackles function and made faces
at the crowd.
One time when Jim Londos was
wrestling in Los Angeles, Bob went
down to the stadium. When Lon

the arena, took off all his clothes.

and planked $500 down, guarantee
for a match with the champion.
The crowd cheered and booed him.
After that he was ostracized.
He was expelled from the Call
fOrnia wrestling staduimS. He
wound up by buying time from
radio stations so that he could
challenge the champion, the much
publicized Greek God, Londos. The
wrestling business was too much
for him. 1t got him. He's now a
good little boy. No more the syn

Make Up Many Rules
To Entrap Workers of
CWA Into Being Fired
By a Worker Corresponent

ny = nOIACT NOIEcSpOucut
NEW HAVEN, Conn. On the
cW.A. project, which is in East
Rock Park here, there are about 500
working, digging and filling up val
leyS, laying out roads, cutting down
trees, and so on. They are all ma
tionalities. Numerous springs gush
out Of the rocks.
On the 14th and 18th of this
month the weather was terribly cold.
The men suffered great deal. Ice
cold water is served to them all day
long by means Of water boys on the
job.
Here are some of the rules No. y
Any one late for work is fired. No. y
Any one committing nuisance out
side Of the toilet so provided will be
fired. No. A. No eating of food on
the JOB. No. s. No smoking on the
job. And any one leaving their place
without permission is fired.
Today they trudge around while it

INSTRUCTIONS now to act and
what to do to please the crowd.
| noticed that the man who
had the most popular appeal
usually won the bout and, if it went
to the time limit, the best Snowman
always got away with a draw. Then
comes the booing and kissing and ap-
plause. You always get this no mat
ter what happens.
From the spectators standpoint.
1 gathered from talking with some
that they know the wrestling
racket, tainted with the highest
kind OF conmerciahSn, Is fishy: yet
they come and come for more.
What they come to see is broken
bone, a superhuman physical con-
tOrtiOn, or some blood spilled.
When they can't see the facial ex-
pressions Of prolonged aaaahs and
widemouthed oooooh's they begin to
yell for the pain collector to turn
around so they can get in on the fun.
1t would be just too bad if one of
the wrestlers with strong case of
halitosis would let fly one of his
breath spells.
WHICH brings to mind a little story
w an old wrestler friend of mine
who attended Northwestern Univer-
Sity. While at college, Bob Miller
was the Conference and intercoI-
legiate champion. Weighing only ITS
pounds, he turned pro Immediately
after finishing three years of school
so thai he could make enough money
to go to law school. He had fought
his way through university, getting
his hands broken, his face mashed
and his ears cauliflowered.
So he turned pro, studied the
showmanship of the pIushroped
ring and made hit, The first time
1 saw him wrestle, he just carried
away the fans with his brilliant dis
play Of acting. He turned a dull
evening into a boisterous gala. He
tried flying tackles, HURTING his
body through the air with the pur-
pose Of encircling the victim around
the head with his legs. He missed
once, twice. He flew out of the
ropes. He connected. He pinned his
opponent. The crowd went crazy.
Then he thought he'd try his for
tune in California. The wrestling
bug got him. Law school was for
gotten. He was hoping, with his
popularity, to knock off thousands
of dollars a bout instead of the
measly IS or IS bucks.
OUT there he learned what profess
v Sional wrestling, with it's cliques,
was like. 1t was kind of tough, but

NEW YORK, May 9.-The policies

tration are based, according to Pro-
lessor Raymond Moley, on enlight-

at which message from Mr.. Roose-

Professor Moley saw in attacks

Silas Strawn harboring any fear of
the NRA, If, perchance, the Presi-

"the baby had been sitting in my
wife's lap. The baby got out Of her
lap = = Then pulled out my pistol
and shot her. I had been waiting for
the baby to move, for I didn't want
to hurt her My wife,s mother

me and shot her"
Boggers then took the baby to the
home Of q nephew, where he was ar
