NOT IN HARMONY

There is a strange disagreement and
inconsistency d%iscernab1e in comparing
the front pages and financial pages OF
reactionary Chicago newspapers that
right now are busy worrying themsel-
YES grey about their freedom" under
the new deal.
On page one, these journals have
been carrying evasive but sinister at
tacks in cartoon, news article, and edi-
torial form to the effect that the Roos-
evelt brain trust is wrecking the coun-
try. These newspapers have not mus
tered the courage to make a direct as
sault on the president - they seek to
accomplish the same end by assailing
his works and the men who head his
administration.
Typical Of these attacks was a car
toon which appeared on the front page
of Fridays edition of the Chicago Tri-
bune drawn by the Tribune's adroit
propaganda cartoonist, Mr.. Orr. The
cartoon none too subtly seeks to blame
the radicals of Washington for the
Toledo and Minneapolis strike riots
and the violence and disorder that have
taken place there.
While these Chicago newspapers have
been attacking the president and his
works in other parts OF each edition
their financial pages have been telling
a different story. There has, Of course
been a seasonal slump in business &C
tivity in the last few weeks, but unit
that time financial pages were replet(
with encouraging stories Of recovery
larger profits, and more employment.
A reader of the Federation News, Of
fetal spokesman in Chicago for organ
lied labor, puzzled by front page at
tacks on the administration and finan-
cial page prosperity blurbs, pasted to-
gether a few financial page headlines
The collection" is reproduced on thii
page today. If the nation is being
ruined by Roosevelt the Wrecker,
this Federation News reader asked
why these stories of good cheer anC
recovery appearing in the same issue
with the attacks on the new deal?
This little exhibit only serves furth
er to show the hypocrisy of these re
dictionary, privileges serving Chicago
newspapers which talk Censorship
and fear for the freedom of the pres
when they themselves are muzzled anC
censored by their economic masters.
1t is significant, incidentally, tina
such newspapers as the Chicago Trib
une, which condemn the Roosevelt ad
ministration and its liberal works, be
stow lavish praise upon the reactionar,
Schmedeman Democratic administra
ton in Wisconsin. The best estimate
of the present state administration il
Wisconsin, which got into office Oh
pledges of liberalism, is that it nov
has the admiration and support Of
Chicago newspaper that is bitterly hos
tile to President Roosevelt and all tn
liberal and progressive principles 70
which he stands.

CHESTER GILLETTE VISITS
u N

Chester Gillette, former member Of
the Butte Musicians Union and now
an official OF the International was a
visitor at the last meeting OF the Sill
yer Bow Trades and Labor Council.
Gillette is also a member of the Regi-
onal Labor Board for California and
has the supervision of the enforcement
OF section Ia Of the Code, with special
reference to its enforcement among
musicians in the Motion Picture In
dustry.
Gillette, in his remarks to the Coun-
Gil, stated that Butte was the only city
in the United States that can pull an
effective boycott. He wished the I'm
ions success in their present struggle.
He stated that in no other place in the
land does a corporation have a hold on
a city that the Anaconda Company has
held in Butte. He stated that he could
take the worst conservative from Wall
Street, take him around Butte for 80
days and if he didn't become the Wild
est red at the end of that time he was
sure any board of alienists would find
him insane.
Gillette further said that the employ
ers all e the country we're inter
preting section Ia of the Recovery Act
in such a way that Company Unions
were growing like mushrooms all over
the country. He warned Labor to be
on its guard and fight for the rights
section Ia intended to give legitimate
Labor organizations.

Compliance Boards
Dissolved

Local NRA Compliance Boards, es-
tablished nine months ago by National
Recovery Administrator, Hugh S.
johnson, in various cities and towns
of Montana to assist in administering
the presidents unemployment agree
ment, will be relieved of further re-
sp~onsibilities and pass out Of existence
on Friday, June 18th. The duties
which they have been p%erformingg,
now greatly reduced in volume since
permanent codes have replaced the
presidents agreement in a great ma
ljority Of industries, will thereafter be
performed by the office of the state
MIRA Compliance Director at Helena,
Montana, to whom all complaints on
corning MIRA violations should in the
future be sent.
Letters have been sent to all Com
pliance Boards in the United States
by General Johnson, conveying the
thanks of the president and OF the Ad-
ministration for the almost invaluable
services which they have rendered in
connection with the organization stage
of NRA procedure, which is now yield
ing place to the second, or a%dministra-
ton stage. He pointed out that al
though the boards we're originally set
up to serve for a period Of only As
days, that period had been extended
from time to time and that each
time you have willingly and voluntarily
continued to devote your time and
efforts to aid in the drive for National
Recovery. The president and this ad-
ministration fully realize the great
amount Of work entailed in performing
the duties which were assigned to you,
and sincerely appreciate the manner
in. which you have unselfishly donated
your services in this emergency. The
splendid results obtained through your
efforts are to a considerable degree
responsible for the success the NRA
has achieved thus far in attaining the
detectives of the Recovery Program
Approximately $4,000 cases have
passed through the hands of the local
Compliance Boards during the past
nine months. Many Of them have been
adjusted locally without need for
further action. In the state OF Mon
tana alone, the local Compliance
Boards, of which there were u, have
successfully adjusted over 400 such
cases, a recird well deserving the ap-
probation of the president and the ad-
ministrator.
To assist the State Compliance Dir
ectors and the Field Adjusters in the
work of securing code compliance, L,o-
cal NRA Adjustment Boards will be
established in the most important
communities in each state. The Local
Adjustment Board will follow the
standards OF adjustment laid down by
MIRA in performing their duty of rec
%ommending what action should be
taken in a particular case to the NRA
Field Adjuster.

NEWSPAPER GUILD HEADS WITHDRAW
BrOun Voices Objection at MIRA Code Hearing in
 Washington

Washington, Dec. 5 -(UP)- Representative of the American Newspaper Guild withdrew today from public newspaper publishers code authority hearings on a pro- posed schedule of maximum work ing hours and minimum wages for editorial employees.
 Guild representatives charged that NRA had been terrified" by newspaper publishers.
 Haywood Broun, guild president, obtained recognition when NRA Division Administrator Jack Tait opened the hearing. Broun with drew his own appearance and that of all other guild representatives.
 We had come here" he said, prepared to show you that on the average an American newspaper man must work for 20 years be- fore he achieves salary of $40 a week, and the fictitious quality of the publishers proposals which when translated into dollars, mean no contribution to unemployment or additional purchasing power"
 The amendments before the hearings would establish under the code an average work week rang ing from 40 hours in cities over 50,000 population to AS hours in cities and towns of fewer than 25,000. The wage amendment spec flies minimums ranging from $25 per week for news workers in any city over 750,000 population to SIP per week in any city or town of less than 25,000.

ODD OPERATION
 OF AUTO PROBED
Two on Danger List as Result of Car = Auto
 Collision in Waterville

The names of Floyd L.. Miller, 36, of 96 Prospect street, Union City, and Henry Rogozinski, 17, of Allen street, Thomaston, occupants of a car which crashed into a troll ley car in Waterville last night, were still on the, danger list at Wa terbury hospital this afternoon as Coroner John T. Monzani continued unsuccessful efforts to find the reason why the automobile oper- ated by Miller had been unable to avoid the path of the trolley car. The trolley operator, Arthur He- bert saw the car coming directly at the trolley for so considera ble distance ahead that he was able get back into the interior of the trolley before the passenger car smashed into the vestibule and was itself almost completey de- molished.
 So seriously injured are Miller, the driver, and Rogozinski, who was being given a ride to Thomas ton. that Coroner Monzani was unable to question them about the crash. Miller suffered a broken jaw, a deep lacera tion from ear to chin, severe decorations about hoti1 eyes, a chin laceratoin and fracture of the right arm. Rogozinski suf- fered a possible skull fracture, a broken jaw and bad decorations about the face and chin. In ad- dition, Domenic Romano, 19 of North Main street, Thomaston, a companion of Rogozinski, suffered abrasions and decorations, about the face and legs. He is not seri- ously hurt.
 The crash took place at g o. clock, a few minutes after Rozozin- ski and Romano, who were hitch hiking. were picked up by Mill Ter at the corner of West Main and Thomaston avenue. The car crashed headon into the trolley and Hebert most probably saved his life by jumping back into the interior of the trolley from the vestibule. Romano says that he and Rogozin- ski warned Miller that he was heading directly for the trolley but that he failed to heed or hea r their warnings.
 Coroner Monzani began question ing witnesses a short time after he had been informed of the &C., cident by desk officer, Capt Rich ard Leroy. He was aided in his investigation by Detective Joseph Bendier and Patrolman Matthew Guarini.

 bury WOnan-DecisiOns Reserved in Appeals

The supreme court of errors yesterday handed down one decis- ion on Waterbury case and re- served decision on two others that were tried in the local courts, and appealed to the high court. The case in which decision was made was that of Dobert F. Davis of Cheshire against Ann Smoley Davis of Waterbury in which the opin- ion, written by Chief Justice Will liam M. Maltbrie, finds errors in the judgment of Superior Court Judge Edwin M. Dickenson and orders their marriage, performed on a dare, voided.
 The contrasting parties were each 19 years of age on Nov 26, 1892, and on an automobile party when the defendant dared the plaintiff to marry her, says the decision. The plaintiff accepted the dare, a license was procured, and the ceremony performed in Brew ster, N. Y.

 Leaves Chambers

 Crooker was counsel for the op- ponents to the governors appoiu- tees, General Charles H. Cole and Charles F. Connors, both of Bos- ton, and William H. Ensign. Sr. o! Westfield. Opposition was on the ground that the three men were not familiar with horse and dog racing and were not qualified to serve.
 Crooker charged that Governor Ely had repeatedly interrupted him. declared the hearing was a farce" and told Ely he could take his appointments land do what you want with them."
 I'm through" said Crooker, scooping up his papers and walk ing hurriedly from the room.
 The outburst came when Gov ernor Ely ruled that the council would not listen to further evil dence concerning conversation between Crooker and Bayard Tuckerman, prominent sportsman. This ruling was over the objec- tions of Lieutenant Governor Gas par G. Bacon and Councillor Dan iel H. Coakley.
 Tuckerman, president of the Eastern Horse Club, was the first to testify among IS witnesses who had been summoned today. He said he personally never made any recommendation to the governor as to the appointees because he

NAVY IN FRANTIC
 SEARCH FOR ULM
Needle in Haystack' Hunt Is Rep0rt-LOst Flyers
 Vanish Completely

Honolulu, Dec 5- (UP)-The United States navy battled rain squalls today in its search for the missing trans-Pacific airplane Star of Australia, 250 miles northeast of Honolulu.
 Admitting tohat they were en- gagged in needle in a haystack" search, the rescue leaders never theless hoped that one of the many planes or ships seeking the helpless plane of Captain Charles T. P. Uln would be successful before the craft is torn to pieces by waves and wind.
 Twenty Ships Searching
 Twenty ships-minesweepers, de- stroyers. submarines and coast guard boats-sped into the area se- lected as the one most likely to have witnessed the landing at sea of the plane and it's three occu- big craft "a nout of fuel while en- route here from California.
 Rain squalls impeded the search. drenching the seamen clinging to rigging far above the decks and watching for flares or signals to lead them to Captain Ulm, George Littlejohn and Leon Skilling.
 Nothing Sighted
 At S:3O a. m. EST. the ship com manders notified the Pearl Har- bor headquarters that nothing had been sighted in the night-long search. They were more hopeful of success after daylight when sea- planes and army amphibians re- turned to aid the searching ships.
 In Honolulu there was bustling activity at the airport. Lieut. F. Wayne Tod, commandant of the fleet air base, had 20 planes to re. new the search that darkness had forced them to abandon las; night.
 Searchlights Used
 The powerful searchlights al Pearl Harbor,, Schofield barracks and Fort Shafter swept the sk,es with pencils of light all night iE the hope that Ulm might see them.
 He was believed to have been almost within sight of his goal when he lost his bearings. An hour later, it's gasoline supply exhausted the Stella Australis dropped into the sea and the planes last radio message was a plaintiye Come and get us." .
 Area Is Mapped
 From estimates provided by the liner President Coolidge and shore stations, the naval searchers dotted a spot on the ocean map where they believed the plane had dropped, drew a circle around 1t,
