and sentencing of Otto Popovich for
leading a picket line protesting
Hitler terror in Germany and de-
manding the freedom of Ernst

fine by Magistrate Alfred ]. Hof-
mann, an appointee of La Guardia.

Negroes and foreign born, he has
long been hated by the bosses. In
addition, to the brutal jail sentence,
he is threatened with deportation.
Tonight's protest meeting will be
addressed by Lieut.. Paul P. Crosby
American Expeditionary Force, and
now a member Of the International
Labor Defense, Williana Burroughs

on the land.
Examining the present situation
in relation to milk production, the
author finds the New Deal" has
accomplished none of these things.
Milk marketing agreements pro-
NOTED under the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration have not
given the farmer a higher price for
his milk. In fact, in some cases
they have lowered prices, as in
Chicago, where price per hundred
weight for Glass I milk went down
from S2.10 to SITS; in the Twin
Cities. where the price went down
from $l.T0 to 1.60; in Des Moines,
where the old price of S195 became
LOO under the A. A. A.
DR.. Tolley. assistant A. A. A. di-
rector, is authority for the state
ment that ITO get all the milk we
would need to put everyone on an
adequate diet at moderate cost, we
would need Is million more COWS
than we now have" In other
words, as Left Dahl points out, in
stead of decrease of 10 per cent,
we need an increase of 10 per cent.

Get One-Third of Safe

Cuts Production
BY GRACE HUTCHINs

Children of miners and other
workers in West Virginia are get
ting less than a third as much milk
as they need for IAN adequate diet
at minimum COST" according to
the National Milk Survey of the
Agricultural Adjustment Admins
tration's consumers counsel. In
Charleston, Wheeling and Clarks-
burg, all coal mining areas, school
children's families purchased on the
average only half pint of milk
or less per person per day, while an
adequate diet" means from ~
pintS to quart.
In the National Milk Survey, an
adequate diet at moderate cost"
defined as safe diet from the
standpoint of health, calls for 305
quarts of milk per person per year,
or almost 2 quart day. For a
margin of safety in health, or an
adequate diet at minimum cost"
there must be 260 quarts of milk
per person per year, approximately
TX pints per day.

the state administration putting of
legislative action for voting funds,

DRICE fixing and price boosting,
tending to discriminate against
small enterprises, are current prac-
tees In the steel industry under its
NRA code, the federal trade commits
sion declares in report to the senate.
That there has been price fixing
as well as increases in prices Of steel
products during the period covered
by the inquiry, the commission de-
clares, are conclusions warranted by
ample facts. Under the provisions OF
the code and the methods of its appli-
cation prices for any given product
at any point Of delivery are uniform.
This is direct violation of the or
der to desist from the Pittsburgh plus
practice.
The steel code, according to the
trade commission, is deyising to lodge
control Of the industry with the United
States Steel corporation and other
large producers. to take business away
from little manufacturers, to discrim-
mate against certain fabricators and
producing centers and to discriminate
in favor of powerful customers like
the automobile induetry.
r. AT a press conference at the White
House the President indicated that he
was not satisfied with the way the
steel code is operating. There were
signs the Executive might reopen the
code and call for drastic revisions to
protect consumers and independent
manufacturers from price fixing and
increased costs. 10.

Secretary Perkins pointed out that
her survey of industrial employment
covers only small part Of the total
business field.
1.-The manufacturing and non-manu-
featuring industries covered" she ex-
planned, normally employ only 90
100000 of the 100000 gainful work
ers of the country and therefore these
totals dc not indicate all changes in
employment. To them should be add
ed 10000 workers reported by the In
terstate commerce commission to have
been taken on during the last month
by Glass l steam ailroads, and gains
in agricultural employment which nor
mally take place at this time with the
beginning of farming activities in the
Southern states.
"The increases In employment and
pay roll In the automobile industry
were the outstanding gains of the
month. The agricultural implement
industry reported employment gains Of
14.9 per cent and machine tools rise
Of Is per cent, continuing the gains
which have marked every month since
last May and June.
Industries allied with building con-
struction also showed increased oper-
ations."
