ELECTRIC CODE
'PICEON-HOLED'
BY ROOSEVELT
President Fails to Sign
Agreement; Fears Rise
in Power Rates.
BY LEE G. MILLER
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Oct. ga pro-
posed NRA code for a $4,000, ooo, 900
industry has rested without action
in a White House pigeonhole for
four months.
Approved by the bulk Of the in
dustry and recommended by Gen.
Hugh S. johnson, a code for the
electric light. and power industry
was submitted to President RooSe-
welt about June l.
Apparently neither the industry
nor the NRA has sought to expedi-
ate it's signature by the President
The suggestion was made in we'll
informed quarters here today that
the administrations apparent re-
luctance was born of fears that the
code with it's wage and hour pro-
visions might be used as an argu-
ment for electricity rate increases.
Such a result, running counter to
the rate-cuttlng IOSCeTeu ny VIA0
Tennessee Valley Authority and by
the Public Works Administration,
would be far from welcome to the
administration.
Meanwhile the industry, which
employs around a quarter OF a
million persons, was said to have
adopted, in most cases, the wage
and hour provisions contained in the
proposed code. This was done
voluntarily. The only binding agree
ment made by the industry was to
observe the wage and hour con-
ditions of the Presidents reemploy-
ment agreement, and some units dlo
not even sign this.
The stalemate of the electric code
has held up code negotiations Tor
a dozen other branches OF the utll-
tiles industry.
1t was said at NRA today that few
complaints have come from labor
about it's treatment by the electric
power industry.

of depressions which the older
school of economists tell us are
natural.
ITO do so will require that we set
aside some of our cherished ideals
which have outlived their useful
ness. What we need is humanity
in our statutes. If we learn to prac-
tice humanity in government, rec
ognize that we are, after all, our
brothers keeper and that the sole
object of government is the happl-
ness of the people, there will be no
difference between politics and re-
ligion."
Where will such course lead us?
Will it mean the creation of new
governmental forms?
Not Worried About Future
These questions concern but
minor details in the reforms which
must come, Mr.. Norris said.
I'm not worried as to where we
are heading. The fact that we are
on the move, progressively pressing
forward, is the thing that counts.
"As long as I'm satisfied that
every step is honestly made and
right, I'm willing to take it. There
is no place to stop"
The charge that such a policy
means experimenting with govern
ment" is no cause for fear in his
opinion. 9
No Cause for Alarm
ST do not admit that we are ex-
perimenting," he says. 'Wen are
answering the demand for progress
The New Deal, the changing at
titude toward labor, our social and
economic reforms of today are no
more an experiment than the &C
tons of cur forefathers in rebelling
against England, freeing the slaves,
adopting the initiative and referen-
dunn.
There will always be a place, Mr.
Morris believes, for the man with
new ideals and fresh ideas. He
sees no cause for alarm in the NOM
ination of Socialist-Democrat Upton
Sinclair for Governor of California
No Room for Wreckers
"Of course there is a place in
the political scheme of things for
men like Mr.. Sinclair. The same
question has been raised concerning
me-, And 1, believe I have given
and shall still give valuable service
to my nation and to humanity"

river bottom without direct con-
tact with the surface.
The ship has been described as
a vacuum cleaner" which sucks
the mud from the sea floor and
carries it to a barge on the sur
face where it can be examined
for traces of the lost treasure.
The exact operation of the
vacuum cleaner" was not dis
closed by Mr.. Lake, who preferred
to wait until after the launch
ing to describe the mechanism OF
his latest creation.
The location of the sunken hulk
is above Hell Gate and in treach-
erous waters where strong cur
rents repeatedly have defeated at
tempts to descend to the bottom
Of the river to search for the
wreck, which for many years has
been covered with sand and mud
carried along by the tides.
Through use of the vacuum
cleaner" it is hoped to uncover the
hulk. probably buried many feet,
and remove the treasure in slow
stages.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-10-03

Haunted whenever change is sug-
gested, is little more than amusing,
Senator Norris said.
Our Constitution represented the
ultimate in progressive government
$50 years ago. 1t met the demands
of that period with courageous
measures such as we seek to invoke
today. 1t sought to guarantee to
men the right to improve their sta
ton through improving their gov
eminent. 1t was not intended to be
the stop-signal to progress which
many would make it,"
There is, he says, no place in the
modern scheme of things for the
man with the wrecking bar.
THE need of the day is for men
with constructive idealism. Through
them, I'm confident that we will not
only save our present civilization
but will evolve a new era in which
human values will be the measure
of governmental success"

NRA ATTORNEY
SCORES POINT IN
WE|RTON TRIAL
Cards Show TWo-ThirdS OF
Workers Enrolled in
A. F. of |. Union.
By United Pre-

By United Press
WILMINGTON. Del. oct. B.
Membership cards in the N. r. A.
lodge of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers
indicating that two-thirds of the
5000 Weirton Steel Company work
ers eligible had joined the union,
were introduced as evidence today at
the federal court trial Of the govern
ments suit to compel Weirton to
carry out labor provisions of the re-
covery act.
The cards, submitted by the flnan-
cial secretary of the lodge, George
Moore, were the most important link
the government has yet submitted
in support of its contention that
the company union plan does not
represent the employees free choice
in the matter OF collective bargain
ing
The cards, each indicating that
one Weirton employe had been
initiated into Amalgamated, we're
tied with string. Each was red and
many had the bottoms torn off.
This. it was explained. was because
the employee represented had paid
his initiation fees in full.
In addition Mr. Moore produced
a single bundle of white cards which
he described as pledge cards"
There were about 300. Some of the
names, Mr.. Moore said, we're dupli-
Gated in the red cards.
Mr. Moore, who caused a sensation
yesterday by saying he was dis
charged on an open and shut case"
after the Weirton strike, amplif1ed
his charges of coercion today. He
said that on lodge meeting nights as
many as fourteen or fifteen officials
or foremen of the Weirton plant
stood across the street as men went
into or came from the lodge hall.
This action, Mr.. Moore testified,
had tendency to make lodge men,
bers afraid of losing their Jobs.
On the night Mrs. Clifford Pinchot,
wife of the Governor of Penn
sylvania spoke at the lodge, he said,
the foremen showed the greatest
turnout.

Sentiment FOR
BONUS GAINS IN
LEGION'S RANKS
Bitter Fight on Perennial
Issue Expected at
Miami Farley.
BY THOMAS l.. STOKES
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON. oct. 3.-Ameri-
can Legion officials who professed
ten days ago TO see little danger of
a cash bonus uprising az the COM
ing Miami convention revised their
estimates this afternoon as they
analysed sentiment among the
delegates.
Latest reports show that fourteen
states and the District Of Column
bia will send delegates committed
for cash payment BY action Of de-
partmental conventions. which rep
resents about 80 per cent Of voting
strength. This gives the bonus a
head start. only two state conven-
tons rejected bonus resolutions. New
Lork and Louisiana. It was not an
issue this year in the other state
conventions. Some states which
took no action one way or the other,
however. have voted previously for
immediate cash payment.
The convention which runs from
Oct. 81 TO IS. Is likely to see a real
fight over this perennial issue which
haunts congress and gives sleepless
nights to Presidents.
Renewed Campaign Looms
A renewed bonus campaign now
appears in prospect at the coming
session OF congress. Beyond the po-
tential threat from the American
Legion. Representative Wright Pat
man Dem, Texas has jumped
back into the limelght TO announce
he has drafted a new bill for imme-
date payment. II would require
5000. 900 900.
Mr.. Patman, whose bill passed the
house last session, opened his new
drive before the Veterans Of Foreign
Wars, which has supported the
bonus for several years. He I'M
doubtedly will take his case next be-
fore the legion. For the last four
years he has been a member Of the
legion's national legislative commit
tee which has Jurisdiction over the
bonus issue. Last year he withdrew
from the bonus fight. declining TO
sign a house petition which finally
forced a vote and passed his meas
ure through that politically thin
skinned body.
Administration officials. con =
fronted with large OUTLAWS for relief
and the recovery program, are pre-
pared TO do everything possible to
squelch the drive.
Roosevelt May Interfere
President Roosevelt may find it
necessary to repeat his personal and
successful plea Of last year. Every
attempt will be made to prevent an
Endorsement by the legion because
of its recognized power in congress.
Bonus champions are seeking an
alliance with infiauOnary blOcs with
the argument that the bonus offers
the best means of getting purchas-
ing power into the hands of a large
segment Of the population. For this
reason it may become a formidable
campaign.
Some legion leaders will seek to
check the tide. They argue that the
legion got everything it wanted
when congress passed over Presi-
dent ROoSevelt's veto the bill re-
storing various benefits taken away
from the veterans by the economy
act. and that it therefore is not wise
to f1aunt the administration again.

STOP in his opinion. The Constitution was not In
tended to be "stop-signal to progress"
~The fight in which we are engaged is for the
preservation of our civilization That civilization is
better today than it was hundred years ago be-
cause men going before us did not fear progress, MI
Norris says.
The white haired senator is in his home state now
to lead what he believes may be his last fight for
progressive issue-the creation of unicameral state
legislature.
In an interview with the United Press he discussed
the changing picture of the times AS one OF the orig
na progressive leaders he has seen many OF his pol
icies once considered radical, become the accepted
law of the land The New Deal in many phases of
social thought has advanced beyond the original
Norris conception What did the veteran progressive
think of II ALP What did he think of the future?

unto thee. The Lord lift up his
countenance upon thee and give
thee peace. ,"
But Hugh johnson couldn't say
the words. He stood there silent
for half minute, before a hall
iam-packed with the men and
women of NRA, and you could
have heard pin drop but Tor the
rustic of handkerchiefs.
Then, abandoning his script, in
a voice that was choked with we'll
ing tears, the general half cried,
half sobbed:
God bless you"
It was all over. The general
headed for his old Office for a few
days of handshaking and reminis-
cling.
A NEWSPAPERMAN, leaving
N the hall, exclaimed to a col
league: What an actor that man
isl"
Who said that?" cried an NRA
underling, threatening to whip
them both for a fancied slur.
Johnson went out as he came IN,
riding a whirlwind of emotion, a
prodigious actor on the stage OF
life whose every word and gesture
even his enemies would admit
sprang from the heart.
That husky, strangely musical
voice which has stormed and
pleaded across fifteen months OF
American history was full OF
magic as the general, red-faced
delivered his swan song to 1.-The
army which has fought so well to-
gether."
The galloping rhetoric of old
was at its best as he described the
poignancy of departure.
My departure from leadership
of you in this holy thing has been
to me an agony of spirit which has
wracked me, physically and men
tally. I said it would be red
fire in the beginning and dead
cats and oblivion in the end
q
LIE told them the new NRA
Il i organization was his own
idea, the new executive personnel
his own men. Perhaps there was
a note of vanity as he pleaded
that his hearers give their full de-
votion Ito these seven men who
have been selected to take my
place"
A bitter humor there was, too:
Just before I resigned there
seemed to have been a regular
last call for dead cats But
since the news of my leaving was
out, the whole tenor of public
comment has changed. My desk
is piled high with editorials, tele'
grams and letters. any one OF
which would bring tears to the
eyes of a brass Buddha."

scorn of his detractors, sorrow at
leave taking-whatever key the
gruff voice struck reflected in the
throng. And when on the final
note of unchecked grief the gen.
eral took his leave, amid tears
and cheers, only the oldsters and
the cynics were dry-eyed.

Rival Mayor Candidates Come
to Grips-Fraternity Variety
BY TRIsTRAM COFFIN
Times staG Writer

THE bonds Of brotherhood last
Il night held two profound po-
liticsI rivals VINO happened TO be
initiated into the mystic rites Of
the same college fraternity IN
their less serious undergraduate
days.
Brother John w. Kern wash
ington and Jefferson). Democratic
mayoral nominee, and Brother
Walter Pritchard Undiana), old
guard candidate for mayor, met
and modestly disparaged their re-
spective efforts at the Phi Gamma
Delta indianapolis alumni chap
ter meeting at the Athenaeum.
Genial Brother Omer F. Jack
son Gndiana). Democratic state
chairman, sat between the two
political foils at the speakers ia
bic and adroitly avoided any men
ton of specific merits or dement's
of the candidates in his capacity
OF POSTMASTER.
Although to the boys just lately
out of college it was another
chance TO rip it up for the Fijis
cas- the Phi Cams are called, the
older members regarded the oc-
casion as a somewhat unique po-
litical meeting where neither cam
didate tactfully could launch into
a d-blooded campaign speech.
TINE theme of the five-minute
Il talks by Judge Kern and Mr..
Pritchard seemed to be that they
we're and would be congenial
friends and that campaigns were
so much nonsense that had to be
endured by the sprinters IN
Americas most popular game.
There was some loose talk by
fraternity officials of Industrious
brothers" The illustrious brothers
looked at each other a little sheep
ishly and grinned as if thinking
what are we boys doing here as
distinguished guests among our
brothers"
Speaking of what lay heavily on
their minds, the candidates spoke
of the rigors of the political cam
paign and candidly admitted that
they wished the race was over and
won. They declared that the cam
paign was amazingly free of in
vectives of one mayoralty candi-
date for another because each re-
spected the other.
Mr.. Pritchard said he was afraid
to take any stabs at Judge Kern
because if his opponent were
elected he was afraid he might
get arrested for crossing the street
in the middle Of the block.
JUDGE KERN replied with equal
J jollity that if Mr.. Pritchard
we're elected, he expected no
leniency on such minor offense
as jaywalking-there we're bigger
and better things to be done.
Both candidates. as they met
in the doorway, expressed sur
prise that the other could be look
ing so well.
Brother Pritchard admitted en-
barrassment in his talk that
among the brethren there should
be a newspaperman Ode Pauw).
There was some brotherly
laughter among the tables that
the newspaper man bore the same
last name as one of Brother
Pritchard's dear friends.
In closing their addresses, each
candidate expressed appreciation
that he had been able to meet
and talk with his rival on COM
partively friendly grounds and
that when the campaign was over
the two would be able to while
away pleasant hours with reminis'
