Monopoly Must Go.

These same antitrust laws must
continue in their major purpose
Of retaining competition and pre-
venting monopoly 1t is only where
these laws have prevented the CO.
operation to eliminate things like
child labor and sweat shops,
starvation wages and other unfair
practices that there Is Justification
In modifying them.
One more subject I call to your
special attention. The law itself
has provided for free choice OF
their own representatives by en-
ployes. Those two words. free
choice" mean just what they say.
1t is obvious that the Government
itself not only has the right but
also the duty to see, first. that en-
ployes may make a choice, and,
secondly. that in the making Of it
they shall be wholly free. I ask
that the letter and the spirit Of
free choice be accorded to its
workers by every corporation In
the United States.
We have been seeking expert
ence in our first eight months Of
code making. for that same rea-
son We have been tolerant Of cer-
tain misunderstanding. even when
they resulted in evasions Of the
spirit II not OF the letter Of the
law. Now We are moving into a
period of administration. when
that which is law must be made
certain and the letter and the
spirit must be fulfilled. We can
not tolerate actions which are
clearly monopolistic, which wink
at unfair trade practices, which
fail to give to labor free choice
Of their representatives or which
are otherwise hostile to the public
interest.

evident as 1t goes on. As an ex-
ample, have just received a tele-
gram from Mr.. Francis NJ. Law.
the president of the American
Bankers Association. In 1t he
said: On this your first anniver-
sary, please allow me. in behalf OF
the country's banks. to express our
full confidence and our sincere de-
sire to cooperate in your courageous
efforts to bring about recovery.
The banking structure Of the coun-
try is sound and liquid and banks
have never been in stronger posi-
ton to function effectively. Con-
ditions have improved to the point
where it Is no longer necessary for
banks to be superliquid. There is
a definite call now for banks not
to extend loose credits or to make
improper loans. but for a most
sympathetic attitude toward legiti-
mate credit needs and for a recog-
milton of responsibility for their
proper and vital part in the pro-
gram Of recovery"
Think back exactly one year ago
today. You know where the banks
stood at that time: you know where
your own business stood. That
telegram is q living illustration Of
the progress we have made. Let us
consolidate our gains and let us
resolve that that consolidation
shall be for the continued progress
and especially for the greater hap
piness and well-being Of the Amer
lean people.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
LECTURE DELIVERED
Dr.. John M. Tutt, c. S. B., Speaks
on cts Case Against
Superstition"

"Christian Science: It's Case
Against Superstition" was the subject
Of lecture by DR.. John M. Tut.
c. S. B.. of Kansas City, Mo-. yes
terday afternoon in Constitution Hall
under the auspices of the Christian
Science Churches of this city. DR..
Tut is a member Of the board Of
lectureship of the Mother Church,
the First Church of Christ, Scientist,
In Boston. Mass
Instances of the various forms OF
erroneous beliefs may be noted in
some Of the popular superstitions Of
today, many of which have come down
from yesterday" the speaker said.
"One of these superstitions is that
man Is a machine. We are repeatedly
and sometimes heatedly reminded by
the health authorities and enthusi-
asts that although We take the best
Of care of our automobiles and ami
mails We are prone to neglect our
bodies.
"Our Government is urged to COM
pel us to care for our bodies according
to the formulas of medical. hygienic
and sanitary superstitions of today
Yet that man is a machine is a rank
superstition. Such a claim ignores
mental identity and the fact that the
body is properly subject to the thought
OF the individual and actually is a
mobile product thereof. Each mortal
embodies his thought and he thinks
himself i'll or we'll, in human belief.
and thus he is law to himself He
may change that belief Of sickness
into one of health and back again
and no amount or kind of treatment
can reach his body except through
his thought Christian Science evolves
all that error of belief out of its
claim to existence. Christian Science
reveals the fact that the divine intel
ligence, holding man eternally in per-
fection. acts on the human body by
correcting the false beliefs and thus
excludes disease. fatigue, wear and
tear. So the body is restored to nor
mality. Rejecting divine law, every
man becomes law of good alone to
himself and in that enlightenment he
routs superstition"

SEES ROOSEVELT DOING BEST.
Norman Thomas Says Capitalist
Retard President.

BALTIMORE, March S (P,.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt, said Norman Thomas,
Socialist leader, last night, has done
about as we'll as you could expect
any President to do under the capi-
talism and with the Democratic party
behind him"
"All the Republican criticism of
Roosevelt is motivated by jealousy or
prompted by incompetence" asserted
Thomas in addressing the weekly
open forum. Roosevelt has done
what Hoover never did-something
for the hungry.
yet there are still some hungry.
The system depends on keeping some
body hungry"
Recalling the disturbance which
broke out in Madison Square Garden
when the Socialist gathered there to
honor those of their party who died
for its principles In Vienna, Thomas
declared, Communism and Socialists
will never unite until the Communists
have a sense Of decent responsibility"

other by right Names" would do much
to aid recovery.
The first burst of applause from the
audience during the Presidents ad-
dress came when he declared that
remedies for the economic conditions
in this country were being applied in
the American way" and that no effort
was being made to copy remedies which
are being tried in foreign countries
where the people do not live under the
same form of democratic government.
He was applauded. too, when he
criticized the critics and held that a
critic who had nothing constructive
to offer. but merely sought to attack
what was being done. was unpa-
triotic. Constructive criticism, he said,
was patriotic. He was particularly
applauded when he declared that there
would never be return to the old con-
ditions and when he demanded that
industry provide increased purchasing
power as an essential to recovery.
The code authority members set
themselves for a long grind of work
upon the extended reform program al
ready outlined by Gen. johnson.
Shortened working hours throughout
industry with unreduced wages we're
its first objectives.
Another meeting Of major business
Importance also was in progress dur
ing the day. Governors of the II Fed
eral Reserve districts met with Treas
ury officials to outline plans for an
intermediate banking system to make
longer loans to the capital goods and
other industries.
Five Sessions Planned.
Between now and Wednesday night
johnson expects to gather from five
separate meetings devoted to as many
subjects every thought Of Importance
that industry has to contribute toward
his program.
1t was known at the outset that
opinions we're sharply divided on every
major point. with a fable wing op-
posed at heart to any further short
ening Of hours.
A contest was in sight also on N.
r. AS intention to prune from the
codes, or at least greatly modify, every
method for raising and fixing prices
for profit, and every measure used for
the entrenchment Of monopoly or the
dominance of bigger units in industry.
Equally certain to stir controversy
if extensively debated was the topic
Of union recognition. which brought
forth the greatest outpouring of criti-
cism in last weeks public forum for
brickbats.
johnson already had declared the
safeguarding of labor's statutory
rights one of the five big issues. along
with price excesses, exploitation of
the public, code compliance and
maximum unemployment.
1ndustry's own voice was not to be
heard until tonight
At 8 o'clock tonight, in five meet
ings. the business men will be heard
in 15-minute speeches. This program
will continue until the finale Wednes-
day night.

DEFECTS FOUND

Although praising the theory on
which the Wagner labor bill was
drawn, the Committee on Correspond
ence and Action of the Continental
Congress yesterday found serious de-
fects" in the measure and expressed
the opinion it should be amended.
Saying that the Wagner bill pro-
vides for board of seven, with two
employers, two labor representatives
and three "so-called public repre-
sentatives." the committee declared
the board would be automatically
loaded against organized labor" be-
cause the three public representatives
usually vote with the employers"
Objection to Presidential Power.
The committee also objected to the
President having the power to name
the board members on the ground
that the President can appoint So
called union men who really do not
have the confidence of labor and are
not the best equipped to serve the
cause of labor"
Norman Thomas, Socialist leader,
addressing the convention on "Scarci-
ty Versus Abundance" said:
First of all we must stop the i'm
possible task of trying to get plenty
by tinkering up the old capitalistic
system which was born out of
scarcity.
Still Sees Misery.
"Mr. Roosevelt has done all that is
humanity possible in his first year in
Office to bolster up a disintegrating
system. That he has not succeeded
and is not on the road to success is
evidenced by the misery Of share
choppers. the army of the unemployed,
the lack Of sufficient production and
the maldistribution OF what We pro-
duce.
Neither he nor any one else can
successfully marry plan for the gen.
eral good to the supremacy of the
profit system"

Cannot Tolerate Abuses.

In q word, We cannot tolerate
abuses Of economic power-abuses
against labor, abuses against en-
suming public, whether they per-
Sist either with the aid of codes
or despite their prohibitions. This
does not mean that We can at
once make perfect many hundred
codes covering the major trades
and industries Of the Nation. nor
that We can get mark of perfec-
ton IN day or month. 1t does
mean that We have arrived at the
time for taking stock for correct
ing manifest errors, for roofing
out demonstrated evils.
One year ago We were suffering
and shrinking under economic
pressures so intolerable that COL
lapse was at hand. We had arrived
at the day to make our choice.
We made that choice. The Amer
lean people responded to the call
for action with eager enlistment
enlistment in the struggle against
ruthless self-seeking. ruthless greed
and economic anarchy. We un-
dertook by lawful constitutional
processes to reorganize a disinte-
grating system of production and
exchange.
The methods and details of that
reorganization may and will change
from year to year, but it Is very
certain that the American people
understand that the purpose Of
the reorganization was not only to
bring back prosperity. 1t was far
deeper than that. The reorganiza-
ton must be permanent for all the
rest Of our lives, in that never
again will we permit the social
condition which permitted the vast
sections Of our population to exist
in an un-American way. which
permitted a maldistribution of
wealth and Of power.
Banking Structure Sound.
The willingness of all elements
to enter into the spirit Of the new
deal becomes more and not less

IGHT and a half months

covery act I said, must we

That team is before me this

as measured by employment, more
than 80 per cent of the Industrial
field which is covered by the
N. r. A. Naturally am deeply
gratified that the faith which I
expressed last June Is so well JUS.
titled in March.
I do not undertake today to pre-
sent either broad review Of all
the manifold causes which led up
to the distressful situation from
which the Nation Is emerging or a
recapitulation Of the events, the
measures and the results Of this
past year. You are here as the
direct representatives Of only one
element in our complex modern
life, but at the same time because
of the fine spirit you have shown
I can congratulate you on an ap-
proach to your own problems which
shows an understanding of the
many other problems which cris-
cross and dovetail into each other
to make up the broad objective OF
the American people.
Individualism Blamed.
It is sufficient for me to point out
once more that the difficult and
dangerous situation into which the
United States had got itself was
due to the general attitude, every
man for himself the devil take the
hindmost." individuals were seek
ing quick riches at the expense OF
other individuals. Geographical
sections were seeking economic
preference for themselves to the
disadvantage Of other sections.
Cities were recklessly offering in
ducements to manufacturing plants
to move away from other cities.
Within given industries unfair
competition went on unheeded or
resulted in vast consultations
whose securities were peddled to
the public at dishonest prices.
There was little consideration for
the social point of view and no
planning whatsoever to avoid the
pitfalls of overproduction or of SELL
ing methods which foisted articles
on gullible public. which the
family budget could not afford.
That is a strong picture. but you
and I, in the bottom of our hearts,
know that it is a true picture.
most Of us participated in the max
ing Of that picture. We did not
know as much then as we know
now and because our eyes have
been opened it is possible that
future history will call that crazy
decade Of 1919 to 1929 one of the
greatest blessings that ever came
to the American people.

President Halls New Deal as Permanent

deliberations will lead you also to
this conclusion. Reduction in
hours. coupled with q decrease in
weekly wages. will do no good at
all, for it amounts merely to q
forced contribution to unemploy-
ment relief by the class least able
to bear 1t. I have never believed
that we should violently impose
nat. arbitrary and abrupt changes
on the economic structure, but We
can nevertheless work together in
arriving at a common objective.
The Government cannot forever
continue to absorb the whole bur-
den of unemployment. The thing
to do now Is to get more people
to work. Your self-gOverning
groups are not here to devise in
genious plans to circumvent the
purposes Of the act. You are here
in a patriotic spirit to effect these
purposes. With few exceptions in
dustry will give whole hearted
compliance. 1t Is only in the case
of rare exceptions where indus
trial self-government may fail that
the Government itself must and
will under the law move firmly
and promptly to prevent failure.
Under the code system you and
I are aware that experience must
be the guide for the working out Of
difficulties and the prevention Of
abuses. For example. you on code
authorities are your industrial
brothers keeper and especially are
you the keeper of your small in
dustrial brother. We must set up
every safeguard against erasing
the small operator from the eco
nomic scene. Many years ago
antitrust laws were passed, and
one Of the primary reasons for
their enactment was the protec-
ton Of the little fellow against
the big fellow. In many cases
these laws failed to protect the
little fellow. We do not want to
maintain that condition. The es-
sential provisions of the codes
should check or reverse competi-
tive methods by which the small
business man was or Is being
squeezed out

 SAN FRANCISCO, June 5.-A rich early-season rookie crop and increased attendances after two lean years are bringing smiles to faces of Pacific Coast league club owners.
 The youngsters may wilt as the pace gets hotter and the turnstiles may click less merrily later on, but there was no gloom in the first six weeks of play.
 Among the big league prospects none has stood out so sharply as Joe Di Maggie, 19-year-old Italian right fielder for the San Francisco Seals.
 After breaking league record by hitting safely in 61 consecutive games last season, his first, Joe re- ported this season with two inches added height and more thar 1C new pounds of heft.
 He stands over six feet, weighs

190 and is still growing. Rival owners agree he is the league most improved player, hitting .367 for the first five weeks.
 When Joe's oloer brother, Vince, just turned 2l, got Joe a trial with the Seals last year it cost him his own position with that club. The owners released him in favor of Joe. But Vince himself is going strong in the Hollywood outfield this season.
 Gabby Street sees major league possibilities in four members of his San Francisco Mission club. They are Pitchers John Babich, 20, of Richmond, Cal, and Wayne Os- borne, 21, of San Jose, and Els worth Dahlgren, first baseman, and Al Wright, second baseman, both 2l and San Francisco boys.
 A Greek And A Portuguese
 All four were Mission regulars last year, Babich winning 20 and losing 15 while Osborne has set a winning pace this season after 9 mediocre 1883 showing Wright hit 1858 for the first five weeks and fielded like a veteran and Dahl gren, smooth-fielding first sack CT, found his batting eye for 300 average after weak season with the stick in 1883.
 Gene Lillard, Los Angeles 20- year-old third baseman who led the league with 43 home runs last year, is batting at a .316 clip but Frank Demaree of the same club, sent back by the Chicago Cubs, has topped all sluggers this spring with 474 pace.
 Sacramento has Alex Kampouris, keystoner, and Manuel Salvo, right handed pitcher, each in his early 20's. Big league scouts already have shown more than passing in- terest in this pair. Kampouris is one of the few Greeks in organ ized baseball while Salvo's Portu- guese nationality makes him also somewhat rare in the national pastime.
