BOOTLEG INDUSTRIES

MINIMUM wage provisions in NF2A codes
AVA can not survive if a cannibalLstic minor
ity of employers are able to continue their
practice of farming out hand work in the
homes Of the poor. 1t is obvious that a fac
tory owner, with overhead costs and a mini
business if he has TO sell in competition with
goods made by women and children working
in their own homes for from 81 to 81 a week.
That INSCRIPTIONS employers in the va
rious needlecraft industries have turned thou
sands OF homes into sweatshops is attested by.
NRA and labor department officials in New
York, Connecticut, Texas and many other
states. They have lowered work and wage

A touch of irony is added to this outrage
earn so little that it is necessary for the gov
eminent to continue them on the relief rolls
Thus do the taxpayers subsidize the chiseling
employers.
Eighty-five NRA codes prohibit home work.
Yet the bootlegging of homemade industrial
goods continues on threatening scale. I'm
less the NRAs new compliance division and
the various state labor departments can stop
it, sweatshops will spread throughout every
industry in which they get foothold.

NEW DEAL DECLARED
DOMINANT ISSUE

BY Benjamin A. Osborne.
For the benefit of my present and
future critics permit me to state
my political status in the campaign.
I have no greater love for John
w. Kern as an individual than I
have for Walter Pritchard; in my
opinion both are amiable men; both
are in earnest in their appeal to the
people. The fact that one is a
Democrat and the other a Repub-
liean does not in any way prejudice
my mind against either. In
supporting the party of John w.
Kern I do so because the party is
pledged to uphold an ideal in which
I, too, believe, whereas the party of
Walter Pritchard is pledged to de-
stroy that ideal
have no personal political am
billions; have no political job, have
asked for none and am not now
aspiring to any.
The New Deal is the dominant
economic and political issue in this
campaign. The people of Indiana
are called upon to decide between
the old deal of Hoover and the New
Deal of Roosevelt without regard to
political opinions and racial diff
ferences. There is neither north nor
south, white nor black.
The voter is asked to decide
whether he believes in the liberty
of the rugged individual to make
more money and accumulate more
millions or the right of the forgotten
man of milder and less rugged in
dividuality, to make a living for
himself and family
The purpose of the New Deal is
beyond criticism; those who have
criticised have attacked methods Of
procedure being used to gain its OBJ
iective. Republican critics seem to
think that the old deal methods of
Hoover should be used to accomplish
the New Deal objective of Roosevelt.
The old deal methods sought first
to take care of the big fellows in
the hope that these big fellows
might let drop from their tables a
few crumbs to the forgotten mass;
the result was, babies died for want
of milk their agonized mothers
could no longer provide; children
dug deep into cans Of garbage in
search of food their parents no
longer could buy; strong men were
driven desperate and frenzied into
the shameless of crime; whole
families were evicted from their
homes and driven into the wide
open spaces in search of shelter
that did not exist.

URGES VETERANS TO
DEFEAT LUDLOW

BY George B. Secrist.
Representative Louis Ludlow re-
peatedly promised the ex-service
men that he would stand by them.
For a long time he has posed as the
stanch friend Of the veterans, yet
when the real test came, he voted
for the national economy act. Stand
by the President-Mr. Ludlow GER
tainly did, but he failed to stand by
the thousands of disabled veterans
in his district.
The national economy act took
thousands of disabled veterans off
the pension rolls and placed them
in the bread lines and Mr.. Ludlow
helped to do it.
AS a disabled World war veteran,
disabled in action in France and one
who was penalized by the action OF
Louis Ludlow, I appeal to the serv-
ice men and their friends to vote
for a man in whom we can place
our full confidence, Delbert o. Will
meth.

what it is.
1t certainly is not knowledge Of
I present day conditions which leads
him to say that Arthur Robinson
is one of the most capable men in
/ the senate today" when newspaper
correspondents in Washington, men
who know conditions as they exist
today and the attitude toward the
fellow senators and toward the inn
portant legislation which has been
enacted in the last two years vote
him "the senator least likely to be
| missed"
Senator Robinson's record IS one
Of opportunism, always an effort to
capture the popular fancy and APP
/ pealing to Cliques and factions in
an effort to obtain votes.
AT present his particular appeal
| is to the veterans and their treat
ment at the hands of the present
| administration.
Did we hear his voice raised when
they were driven at the point of the
| bayonet from Washington under the
Hoover administration? Did he vote
to take Is per cent cut in his SAL
az to assist the government in pay
ing the bonus? Has he any con-
structiVe legislation to replace the
efforts Of the present administra-
ton which has reduced the army of
the unemployed from 100000 to
approximately 100000? Can the
senator definitely say that condi-
lions are not better than they we're
two years ago?
The Democratic party, dedicated
to the cause of lettering the condi-
tions of all classes, welcomes con-
structiye criticism, but the record of
the senator does not indicate any
ability to offer that kind and no
bona flde Democrat would suggest
returning him to the senate as
capable senator.

state from which he came.
Mr.. Moore is opposing the state
administration. What's the mat
ter? Couldn't he get a state job?
I do not have much use for
these so-called Democrats who
can't take it.
Speaking of the 2 Per Cent Club,
I see no reason why Democratic
state employees should not donate
2 per cent of their salaries in sup
port Of their party's campaign, if
they care to do SO. After all, this
is not a compulsory donation.

TUESDAY,. OCT 30. 1924.
LET'S HAVE THE ANSWERS

GOVERNOR MNUTT has met the chal-
~ lenge Of the Republican whispering
campaign like a man. His open forums, in
which he good-naturedly discussed with all
corners the most slanderous gossip not only
against himself but against his family. have
been a smashing answer to his traducers
These meetings we're carefully publicized
for days in advance The Governor allowed
plenty OF time to those who wished to ques-
ton him. When inquiries we're not forthcom-
ing from the audience Governor McNutt
laughingly cross-examined himself
The net result has been the evaporation of
all those dire reports and Shiny rumors which
busy bodies Of both sexes have been spreading
for months.
What a sharp contrast the Governors con-
duct has been to that Of Senator Arthur
Robinson! Long before the conventions last
spring The Times asked the senator series
of very pertinent questions. We asked them
publicly because we felt that they dealt with
matters requiring answers.
The result was silence. We asked them
again after Lii Arthur had been renominated
and again there was silence. We believe in fair
play. Even though we have no respect for
the senator's policies and record we do not
feel that he should be victimized by unex-
planned and malicious gossip-if these reports
about him are gossip. So once more we in
qure:
Senator Robinson, what were your rea-
tons with d. c. Stephenson grand dragon of
the Ku-Klux Khan and convicted murderer?
Senator Robinson, did Stephenson, who
once said, Il the law" play any part in
your appointment to the United States SEN
ate?
Senator Robinson, did you at any time
have any understanding, make any agreement
or bargain with Stephenson regarding certain
things you were to do, or not to do, if he got
you this appointment?
Senator Robinson, If you had such an
agreement what was the precise nature of it?
Was it written? Who witnessed it? Have you
kept to its terms?
Come. come. senator. If Governor McNutt
has the courage to answer unpleasant per-
sonal questions put to him publicly why should
you shrink from doing the same thing?
If the answer is mo" to our questions why
not say so? Our columns are open to you even
though We do think it would be an evil thing
for Indiana for you to return to the senate.
Are you, whose supporters speak of you as
fearless" AFRAID to reply?
We are waiting senator.

PUTS QUESTIONS TO
GOVERNOR MNUTT
By Arthur G. Gresham.

By Arthur G. Gresham.
Governor Paul McNutt is so good
at answering questions I would like
to ask him one; not before Demo-
cratic audience but through The
Times.
Why is it, Mr.. McNutt, the Demo-
cratic county committee or state
committee has not followed the
precedent Of all other campaigns
and organized an ex-service mems
division of these committees? I am
not, Mr.. McNutt, referring to any
would-be organization that exists in
name only and composed Of silk
stocking soldiers or training camp
heroes. 7 refer to an honest organi-
zation Of the rank and file, service
men who saw service.

7 ME city campaign is drawing to a close
without a single issue having been devel-
eped by the Republicans. Briefly, their
strategy has been:
To contact the underworld with hints Of a
wide-open town.
To solicit the church vote with assurances
of tightly closed town.
To promise the job of chief of police and
several other prominent offices, to numbers of
people.
To attack the present city administration
for issuing bonds to pay judgments against the
city when these judgments were due to the
extravaganza of the Duvan administration
which was the last Coffin controlled regime.
To promise flet mignon and pate-de-foies-
gras in the poor relief baskets when they know
that the mayor has nothing whatever to do
with poor relief.
OF course, this is all pretty thin stuff and
the voters know it, The real issue of the Re-
publicans is simply We want in"
The Democrats. on the other hand are
campaigning on the record of Mayor Reginald
Sullivan and his associates.
He found the city practically bankrupt from
the miSmanagement of Boss Coffin and not
only restored it. but placed its credit in the
very top list of American cities
He built up a surplus in the city treasury.
This has been almost unheard of in both pub
lie and private business during the depression.
He restored the good name of Indianapolis
so that The Wall Street journal" which cares
not a whit for local politics. spoke in the most
glowing terms of the Sullivan administration
He has conducted the citys affairs so that
there has not even been whisper of graft or
misconduct during his whole term.
He has reduced the tax bills of the citizens
City government is a business proposition.
Cities do not make treaties. set up tariffs de-
eide broad questions of public policy They
perform certain definite services for the people.
When Mayor Sullivan was elected he prom
ised a business administration. He has de-
nvered.
What is the sense in switching from such
sound policies TO the Coffin organization,
which made such a mess Of the Duvau admin
istration?
Is it to be Judge Promising Walter)
Pritchard. amiable and personally honest, but
s Coffin puppet; or Judge John Kern, who will
keep the city headed in the direction in which
Mayor Sullivan has started?
The voter, We think. viii make the COM
nonsense answer.

I should like to answer Albert
Moore's statement oct. 5, in which
he claims that Sherman Minton is
a rubber stamp for Governor Nc
Mutt. It seems to me Mr.. Minton
surely must be able to take care
of himself. He has so far in life,
inasmuch as he is a educated
and self-made man. Why should
he now let the Governor take his
hand and lead him? A man of
his caliber and accomplishments
couldn't do that.
What did Lii Arthur ever do
but raise hadeS on the floor OF
congress, unless it was to raise
more when asked to cut his own
salary. First, he was dry, until we
voted that out. Then he started
making promises to the veterans,

determine the source and motive.
Without leadership the session
would remain at sea until adjourn
ment. For years it has been noted
that executive leadership was Woe
fully lacking.
The Democratic party cast about
for Governor who possessed those
rare and needed abilities. John E.
Friedrich was favorably looked upon
as supplying the need, he being an
experienced and successful business
man.
Paul v. McNutt was the choice of
those who we're looking Cor ability
and leadership, and Immediately
after taking office it became appar-
ent that Mr.. McNutt had made a
study Of and become acquainted
with the needs of the people of the
commonwealth and that he would
use this knowledge and his dynamic
personality without fear or favor in
the interest Of the masses, and pro-
mote the needed reformative and
remedial legislation.
His leadership established a prec-
edent which Immediately attracted
nationwide favorable attention.
After the first wave Of popular APP
proval had spent itself, the back
wash brought in the debris of
wrecked personal ambitions, and the
echo Of the protests from the pred

EXPLAINS RECENT POLL
ON NEW DEAL TREND
By GAYLORD A. Wood

By GAYLORD A. Wood.
I wish to correct the misappre-
hension Of G. Olvey concerning the
method of taking the Literary Di-
gest poll, checking the trend Of the
New Deal.
Three polls were taken this sum-
mer. In March and April Of this
year, 5000 persons were polled.
These results were not published.
The second poll, taken in May and
June, consisted Of $4,000 ballots.
The third poll was taken in Sep
TENDER, and 5000 ballots were
sent to the same persons who re-
ceived the 5000 in March and
April.
The comparative results Of the
March-April poll. together with the
results of the September poll, thus
indicate a statistical trend that
can not be doubted. The trend is
definitely away from the New Deal.
AL Literary Digest polls have
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-10-30

been questioned as to accuracy
Reams were written to prove that
the drys did not vote in the prohi-
bition poll; yet the voters repealed
the eighteenth amendment. The
same doubts we're expressed when
the Roosevelt poll showed
a Democratic landslide, but the
election proved the poll exceedingly
accurate.
The latest Digest poll predicts the
defeat of Sinclair in California.
Democrats will argue that the poll
is wrong. But on Nov. 7, the papers
will show the Digest prediction quite
accurate.
