WHERE IS NRA?

THE textile mill owners have refused the
l. governments invitation to attend an
eleventh-hour mediation conference with rep
resentatives of their workers.
A majority of the mill operators seem to
welcome a strike as a test of strength with
the union.
If industrial warfare comes the public will
pay.
Wherever the blame for the strike may lie,
a large measure of responsibility rests with
NRA the cotton textile industrial relations
board and the national labor relations board.
These governmental agencies were set up by
congress and the President to keep the peace
in industry. President Roosevelt did not in
tervene in the dispute because he depended
upon these agencies to function. But they have
failed him and the nation.
1t is a long story of evasions. The cotton
textile industrial relations board failed to
handle the complaints of "stretchout" abuses.
The labor provisions of the code were not
enforced adequately. The workers threatened
to strike last June when their wages were
curtailed % per cent, but postponed action on
promises that NRA would conduct five sepa-
rate Investigations into labor conditions and
correct abuses. Later two reports were pub
lshed by NRA, but General Johnson sup
pressed the other three-on the stretchout sys-
TEN. the work load problem and wage differ
entails.
Instead of moving into this muddle with its
customary vigor and intelligence, the nation
al labor relations board sidestepped. Although
a strike had threatened for weeks, the NRLB
waited until nine days after the actual strike
vote was taken before it even tried seriously
to get the employers and workers to sit down
at the same table. 1t was this conference, set
for today-the day before the scheduled
strike-that the mill owners refused to attend
BY some strange process Of reasoning, the
government officials concerned seem to be
planning to settle the strike after it starts,
rather than to prevent it. Anything that can
be done later by the government can be done
now-the only difference is that anything is
easier now than after the strike begins and
bitterness grows on both sides.
The least that NRA can do today is to an
nounce a code revision hearing on the hours
wages disputes. The least the NRLB can do
is to act Immediately on alleged mill violations
of Section IA of the law.
Such tardy action by the government might
even yet convince the workers that strike
is not necessary to get hearing for their case.

HOW ROMANTIC!

THERE is an odd human touch to that case
= of the Chicago ex-sailor who found that
he could win his girls favor only by posing
as bold, bad gunman-and who, because of
that fact, got himself into jam with the
police.
This man found that his girl admired
hoodlums. So. although he was a perfectly
law-abiding citizen. he told her that he was
one of the country's leading undesirabes. He
had shot several cops, he said, had broken out
Of two prisons and one Jail; all in all, he
added, he was regular little Dillinger. I'm
pressed, she accepted him, and they were
happy.
Then they quarreled. She called the police
and they took him in tow, and he had to con-
fess that his wickedness was all imagination
Even then, however, he begged them not to
tell his girl. If he was to regain her favor, he
would have to retain the glamour of the bad
man.
It's all quite amusing, this little tale--un-
til you reflect that a lot of energetic young
men have actually turned to crime because of
just such attitude on the part of some empty
headed girl.

CHALKS POLITICAL ERROR
AGAINST GOVERNOR

BY Reader.
Much criticism is heaped on Gov
ernor McNutt and his administra-
ton. I agree with some Of it.
Indianas electorate has been Re-
publican for years and years. When
Governor McNutt was elected he
thanked the voters, especially those
of the Republican party who had
voted for him. He made special
mention of the fact that he could
not have been elected so over
whelmingly except for the votes of
Republicans.
ITO the victorious party belong
the spoils," certainly was bad poll
tics in this case. When the voters
of a state are about f1fty-fifty, it
may work, but anybody knows that
it certainly would have been better
politics for Governor McNutt to
have retained some of the efficient
Republican office holders and posi-
bly, appointed a few, so as to retain
the good will of the voters within
that party. What mistake to over
look such an opportunity for his own
future!
The dissatisfaction with Gov
ernor NcNutt really has its origin
in the dismissal of some of the Re
publican institutional officers. The
Republicans left very few Demo-
Gratis il Office when the party was
in. But they didn't need any Demo-
Gratis 70 elect them, as Governor
McNutt had needed Republican
votes, so the Governor just over
looked smart politics.
There may be some graft in the
liquor setup as it is, but it is much
better to have it in private hands
than tc put it into the hands of
statehouse politicians, as the Re-
publicanS wish it.
I think a sales tax is a proper way
to tax and in my case I am for it as
against the income tax, but the Re-
publican party can not hope to gain
votes, except from the 20 or % per
cent who pay income tax.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-08-30

this as to the wisdom of such a
program demands consideration.
I found the broadcasts to be a
real education in police methods.
The behavior of the judge, the lack
of consistency in pronouncing fines,
and the general unfairness cited by
"a Radio Listener" serve to in
crease my respect for real justice,
but not for that brand of Justice
which is obtained in the traffic
court.
The citizens of indianapolis have
every right to know what goes on
in their courts, especially if the
methods of those courts were bet
ter masked in secrecy, as "a Radio
Listener" recommends.
My respect for the police was in
creased. if by respect is meant a
terror lest I fall into their clutches.
To those who never have heard
this broadcast, I suggest worth
while source Of enlightenment on a
public question.

Capital Capers
BY GEORGE ABEL

A STUTE afable Mr.. Freitas-Valle, Charge
IA d'Afaires of Brazil smoothed his black
hair, glanced over a Sl1eaf of papers, took up a
pen and scratched his name.
Thus was acquired by the Brazilian govern
ment one of the finest embassies in Washington
the mansion on Massachusetts, avenue which
formerly belonged to Mrs. Kate Mccormick of
Chicago
Mrs. McCormicks mansion has seen glorious
days. 1t has long been a celebrated landmark
along an avenue noted for its pomp and its
princely residences. In the gay COS, the old house
blazed with lights as the former owner and her
sister, the late Mrs. Eleanor Patterson Srr en-
tertained at series of gay parties which dazzled
the capital.
Mrs. Mccormick had one of the finest art
galleries in the United States and distinguished
visitors to Washington frequently asked to view
her collection.
A CoUIsITION Of the Mccormick mansion
N by the Brazilian embassy, incidentally, is
the deciding factor in the old Henderson feud
anent the preference of Sixteenth street over
Massachusetts avenue as the diplomatic thor
oughfare. 1t seems virtually certain now that
Massachusetts avenue is to be the future resi-
Dental street for smart diplomatic society in
Washington.
The trend toward Massachusetts avenue re-
ceived great impetus recently with the building
there of the British and japanese embassies
both beautiful dwellings and both housing adj
mittedly two of the most important foreign
missions in town. The Chilean embassy, the
Persian legation, the Austrian legation the
Czechosovakian legation and the Norwegian
legation also are located on Massachusetts,
avenue.
CECRETARY of Commerce Daniel G. Roper,
y back from his Alaskan trip, has been busily
rushing from place to place with the exuberance
of a schoolboy. His latest activity is a radio
speech, which is interpreted as intended to re-
assure business and reply to critics of govern
mental economic policies.
Between radio speeches and visits to the
White House, Mr.. Roper finds time to tell an
occasional joke.
Tell us something about your voyage to
Alaskan" he was asked by newspaperman
Mr.. Roper smiled and replied:
We'll, there isn't much to tell, but do re-
member this little incident

A NEW LINEUP

IF the formation Of the American Liberty
League. with such prominent Democrats as
Al Smith and John w. Davis in the van,
should help to precipitate a complete new
alignment Of political parties. it will be a very
excellent thing for the country.
This organization seems-for the mo-
ment, at least-to be without political bias
1t is. clearly, a Stanchly conservative group;
and for that very reason it is ideally adapted
to crystalline and formulate the opposition to
the New Deal
AS a nation, We are going to make some
decisions Of Stupendous Importance during
the next few years We shall be able to make
them much more intelligently if our politics
reflects a clean-cut distinction between con-
servatives and liberals.
The present situation, with each major
party suffering from such division, is not
adapted to serve US well in times of crisis.

ROBTNSON'S SERVICE
IN WAR CITED
Rv A Fighting Soldier.

BY A Fighting Soldier.
In answer to James F. Walker and
A. L. c., I will say Senator Robin
son was not a war Stacker. He did
his bit, showing his patriotism while
a bunch of you fellows were hiding
behind your wives apron strings
and the pillow handles. The only
thing wrong with you fellows is that
the Democratic party only gets in
power so few times within a genera
ton, you can feel it in your system.
The party is due for good whip
ping in November.
The soldiers pension was running
the country when the Democrats
were elected, but the same bunch
says nothing about the money given
the farmers for doing nothing.
I have always voted Democratic,
but never again. When Roosevelt
is through, this country will be so
far in debt the soldier will never
get his bonus, and that certainly
is a first debt.
