positors in the closed banks.
But I am going to vote against
that bill unless they change it to
include the depositors in closed
state banks he said. Asked
where the money was coming
from to pay the bills, Representa-
tive Schultz admitted that the
question of revenue was a serious
problem, which he had not solved.
Then why did you sign the pc
tition?" he was asked.
Because the people in my dis
trict wanted me to-" he replied.
Mr.. Schultz is a member of the
committee, immigration, pensions
and claims. Besides the usual
quota of private bills, he has in
troduced three general measures.
The first provided a federal
moratorium of two years on mort
gage foreclosures. 1t was pigeon
holed in committee.
The second forbids aliens who
hold jobs in the United States TO
commute back and forth across
the border. This bill. which Rep
resertative Schultz estimates viii
take American jobs away from
$1,000 citizens of Canada and
Mexico, has had a favorable COM
mittee report, and possibly may
become law.
The third limits the number of
MeXicanS entering the United
Sattes to $50 year. According
to Mr.. Schultz. industrialists in
Lake county have imported thou
sands of MeXicans to provide
cheap labor This bill also is still
in committee.
TALL and rugged, Representa-
Il tive Schultz is typical
two-lsted labor leader. He was
once a locomotive fireman.
At the time he was elected to
congress in 1882, winning over the
Alliance of Theatrical State En-
Republican, oscar A. Ahlgren, he
was Indiana boss of the National
ployes and Motion Picture Opera
tore. He still holds a card in
that union.
Prospects of the government
have given Dr. Writ a bad case of
regulating business, which seem to

Mr.. Schultz as good signs. He

DEHIND the refusal of New
- York banks to accept certain
checks on the French and British
governments is the violent antip-
athy of Wall Street to the john
son bill.
The bankers figure that the bill
prohibiting defaulting debtor ma
lions from borrowing in the United
States will ruin the New York
money market. They fear Europe
will go back to London as the
worlds great money center. So
they are out to make the johnson
bill look ridiculous.
This was what Charles de Font
nouvelle, consul-general of France,
discovered when he turned up at
the New York Federal Reserve
bank one day last week with a
draft on the Bank of France. The
draft was to pay for the rent of
his consulate, salaries, ETC., and for
years he had been getting it
cashed promptly. This time, how
ever. the Federal Reserve refused.
I'VE are extremely sorry, NJ. de
Fontnouvelle,' the cashier in
formed him" but the penalties
under the johnson bill are so
rigorous that we can not take any
chances. The terms of the bill are
rather vague. and until they are
clearly defined we can not take
checks on the Bank of France
M. de Fontnouvelle was habber-
gasted.
I'VE will be glad to take your
own personal note" the bank Off

To my way of thinking, THE
Devil Passes" is one of the five
best plays that the Civic has pre-
sented in the nineteen years that
I have studied and reported their
productions.
Hale MacKeen deserves a lot OF
credit for the way he has directed
this difficult play because it is
concerned mostly with converse

Regardless of how difficult it
was to shape this show into a hit,

The dumbeSt citizens likely are to be best

intelligent citizens when disputes arise often are
willing to waive fact and logic and settle matters by
hand with opponents who able to fight well

selves. can box.

But though citizens do concentrate and memorlze

problems which poker presents.

Although Congress is scheduled
to draft a child labor law, it was
learned today at the Franklin
Administration Building, public

House and Senate pages are be-
low age limits set by the Board of
Education.
The age law of the board states
that no pupil under 16 years old
may work unless he or she has
satisfactorily completed eight
years Of study. Pages in Congress
range from IL to 10 years.
The minimum age for a pupil
to apply for a work permit, pro-
vided that the eight years of study
have been completed, is IA.
The school official, in conclu-
sion, stated that it was strange

j. s. WILL BUY
36 PLANES

Purchase of SO airplanes is con-
templated by the Department Of
Commerce next week.
Bids have been asked on several
groups of planes, 36 in the aggre.
gate, and the purchases will be
made if satisfactory prices are OBJ
tanned.
The planes are being bought, it
was said at the Department today,
to replace others which are obso-
lete or whose best period Of use
fulness has expired. The new
planes not only will be better,
safer, and more efficient, but it
will be possible to operate them at
considerably lower cost than those
now in service.
The replacement is proportion
ally rather large, covering some
where near half Of all the planes
owned by the Department.
