Frazier-Lehmke
LaW Challenged

BALTIMORE. Md, Sept 20. U.P)
The constitutionality of the Fra
zier-Lemke law affording liberal re-
lief to debt-ridden farmers was
challenged today in decision by
Federal District Judge Calvin
Chestnut.
The court in test case held the
act to be unconstitutional through
violation of the rights of creditors
as provided in the 14th amendment
to the constitution and by seeking
to supelcede the jurisdiction of the
state courts.
The measure was passed in the
closing days of the last congress
despite administration opposition.
Passage was obtained through fill
tuster threats by Sen Huey p Long
tDem) Louisiana, and others. 1t
was signed by President Roosevelt
on the basis OF an opinion by At
tcfney General HonAr S. Cum
mingS that it was constitutional.
The measure provided that a
farmer might appear in court and
obtain revaluation of his mort
gagged property. He then would be
given five years in which to meet
his Indebtedness, living on the
property in the meantime and pay
ing only rent.

Horse Theft Still
Considered GraUe
Crime In States

COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 20. U.P)-
Horse theft is punishable in 18
states and the District of Columbia
by heavier penalties than the
stealing of motor cars.
This fact was discovered by the
Ohio Bureau OF Motor Vehicles in
a survey of vehicle laws. Ohio's
code has been revised, as have the
codes of IL other states, to in
crease car theft penalties above
those of horse stealing. The law
provides for one to 20 years i'm
prisonment for a first offense, five
to 80 years for subsequent offenses.
States in which horse stealing is
the more serious crime under the
law are Arkansas, Delaware, Flor
ida. Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Ken
lucky, Michigan, Montana, New
Hampshire, North Carolina, Okla
homa, Pennsylvania, South Caro-
lima, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, and
Washington.

Daily Newspapers

LONDON, Sept. 20. (UP) - That
Britain with a 54,OoO0o0 population
publishes only 158 daily newspapers,
comared 70 approximately 500
dailies in Switzerland, with merely
100000 inhabitants, is one of the
striking comparisons made in the

The handbook was prepared by
the German Institute of Journalism
and the Foreign Policy Office of the

the handbook is that 40 per cent OF

SURVEY SHOWS
NATION FAVORS
TARIFF REFORM
Senate Fight on Bargaining
Policy Gets Under
Way Today.
BY RUTH FINNEY
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON. May IT. - A
month ago the administration went
to the country" with its new tariff
bargaining policy in preparation for
the senate fight which opens today.
Unofficial and scattering returns
indicate it has been successful.
Hearings held in Houston, Tex.
last week by a committee of the
Social Science Research Council
disclosed a growing public demand
that the United States broaden its
trade relations. The council, months
ago, undertook a nationwide sur
vey of sentiment on international
economic relations and its commit
tee has been holding hearings in
different sections. 1t will not finish
its work and report until October.
Meanwhile, its Texas inquiry comes
in time to influence senate debate.
Three-fourthS of the persons ques-
toned in Houston advocated for
eign trade expansion.
Labor Is Opposed
Opposition came from organized
labor.
In answer, the senate had before
it today figures presented by State
Secretary Cordel Hull to show that
labor is helped. rather than hurt,
by most imports coming to this
country.
IN 1893 the United States ex-
ported merchandise Of 81 SAT 900 900
produced by American labor. " Mr.
Hull said The same year it i'm
ported goods of $1,449, 900 900 of
which $ss,0OOOOO chiefly comprised
crude materials, crude foodstuffs,
and other raw materials not COM
petitive but actually needed in this
country to afford work to American
labor.
"Of this amount finished dutiable
manufactures comprised only $189,-
OBI 900 while we exported $616, 623,-
900 of finished manufactures pro-
duced by American labor"
He makes similar comparisons for
manufactured goods.
G. o. P. Amendments Ready
The administration fight for the
tariff bill will stress the argument
that world conditions have changed
sharply, that other nations are now
making tariff bargains and that in
ternational trade can no longer be
carried on in any other way. Sec
rotary Hull says more than a hun
dred reciprocity trade agreement
have been entered into by other
countries.
The fight against the bill will con-
centrate on four amendments to be
offered by Republican senators.
They would limit bargaining pow
ers to articles on the free list; eX-
empt agricultural products from
bargaining; exempt commodities
produced under codes; limit the
range over which tariff rates can
be raised or lowered.

CONGRESS VOTE
ON LABOR BILL
NOW UNLIKELY
Wagner Measure Omitted
From Must List of
Present Session.
BY HERBERT LITTLE
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE
old-line Democratic leaders of the
house and senate apparently are try
ing to toss out the window, as far
as this session is concerned, the
Wagner labor disputes bill. Other
major social reforms espoused by
the administration, including unem-
ployment insurance and old-age
pensions, are also threatened.
Despite the omission of the labor
bill from the must" program, Sen
ator Robert F. Wagner Dem, N
V, will press for a labor commit
tee report on his revised measure
tomorrow and for senate action or
its following the tariff bill vote, ex-
pected next week
House Democratic leaders after
yesterdays conference with Presi-
dent Roosevelt on the legislative
program-now aimed primarily al
an adjournment by -June-re-
ported five measures on the i'm
perative list:
/. Tariff, up today in the senate.
2. Communications, before house
committee.
3. BODYBUILDING, now before a
senate committee.
q. Extension of the bank deposit
guarantee.
5. Changes in the agricultural adj
juStment act.
These leaders are inclined to con-
fine their program to these meas
ures and few minor and private
bills. The President did not men
ton the labor bill in his conference
although he has hitherto expressed
a desire for passage this session of
the labor bill as we'll as the Wagner
Lewis unemployment insurance bill

LOWER DOLLAR
DISRECARDED BY
MAJOR GRAINS
Prices Slump Nearly Cent
as Longs Take Profits
Near Close.
y, 1884
BY HARTMAN w. NICHOLS
United Press STAFF Correspondent

CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-The wheat
market again disregarded devalua-
ton of the dollar yesterday and
longs took profits which resulted in
a slump in prices on the Board Of
Trade.
At the finish wheat was Z to *
cent lower, corn was UNCHANGED to
Is cent lower, and oats were UNI
changed.
AT the extreme wheat futures sold
of as much as a cent from Thurs
days finish. Trade in the aggre-
gate was not large and the market
was easily influenced by relatively
small operations on either side. The
stock market developed a reaction
airy tendency, as did cotton and
sterling.
The money situation was regard
ed as having confused the grain
trade to such a degree that ma
jority of operators are acting with
considerable caution, not knowing
what to expect.
There was light trading in corn
and oats and prices hung within
narrow limits. There was some pres
sure on corn from a commission
house but declines were small.
An early bulge in provisions, due
to the advance in hogs, was mostly
lost in a wave of profit-taking.
