REGULATORY BILLS.

The recognized need for revision of our pure food and drug laws is certain to be met in one way or another at this session of Congress. There are two bills now receiving careful attention, namely the Copeland and Black bills. The Copeland bill Black bill is mild reform of the present pure food law
 While strengthening of the pure food law clearly necessary it is doubtful whether we need go as far as the provisions of the Copeland bill Rather than work a hardship on certain branches of the proprietary medicine industry, it appears to be a wiser course to accept the Black measure and see whether this will not supply adequate control over the manufacture and advertising of medicines
 The real question involved here is not what standards to set up for the regulation of foods drugs and cosmetics The standards much the same in ali three bills, including the original Tug well measure The real difference is in the method of enforcement The Copeland bill gives the Secre- tary of Agriculture wide powers to inspect and regulate the trade in foods and medicines, subject to final authority of the courts. The Black bill like the pure food law, leaves enforcement to the courts but gives the Secretary of Agriculture certain powers to recommend trade practices, which are actually enforceable only through the courts
 This is not an appropriate time to impose new legislation which will hamper an important indus trv nor is it wise now to extend the already colossal powers of the Department of Agriculture The Black bill will be a substantial improvement on the present. pure food and drug act and if it proves insufficient to curb existing abuses in this field it's further amendment will remain open.

ALASKAN RABBITS.

Arthur Brisbane, in his copyrighted editori ppearing in the Hearst newspapers had the follo lg concerning the Alaskan rabbits, published F. uary g:
 How little a rabbit knows about fate and the higher intelligence that controls it. Vol canic eruptons killed small game on AL askas Kodiak and Afognak Islands. After Mount Katmai exploded, more than twenty years ago, all rabbits vanished.
 The Government CWA money has been spent hiring Indians to drive tens of thou sands of rabbits into traps. They are caught alive and sent to the stricken islands When they get there they probably say to them selves:
 How nice of Uncle Sam to take all this trouble for us"
 The fact is that they are sent to provide food for bears-and for the more valuable fur-bearing animals. How could the rabbits possibly magazine understand that?
 How we two-legged things hope to imagine understand why it is that we are transported here from heaven knows where, and what it is that we are supposed to do here

The Blue Eagle Label.
CNew York World Telegram)

(NeW York WOrld-Telegram) MIRA enforce it's codes when it determines to do That is clear in two recent cases in which clothing manufacturers defied the code and the code authority, thus not only exploiting their workers and undermining the general recovery pro gram, but also threatening their business com lsurrender because MIRA withheld the Blue Eagle insignia, making their products unpopular.
 Wulf Bros. Inc, of New York City and Troy, after holding out for time, ended by agreeing to make restitution of back wages for the period of code violation and reimbursing the code authority for the expenses connected with the enforcement proceedings
 Before any rugged indvidualist rises to protest that MIRA could not crack down wlful code volators, he should read the following letter from a Southern dress manufacturer who was compelled by local NRA compliance board to give up his Blue Eagle and who since has got it back:
 We have found that since our operators
 getting 30 cents per hour and only
 working forty hours per week, they
 working with more pep and some are pro-
 ducng from 25 to 35 per cent more work
 We feel that if there any industries in
 the United States that do not work under
 the MIRA, and who had experience, they would find not only difference but benefit in working under code. They would get better production and better work Therein is the great hope of NRA. It is some thing. more than idealistic It is practical-and the old system of long hours and low wages is not practical, for the worker. the employer, anybody

BERARDI HEADED
 FOR HOLY CROSS
Brooklyn A.. (. Pitcher RumOred to Enter WOr=
 Cester College in l936

Frank Berardi, young Brooklyn A. c. pitcher. who has been meet ing with considerable success in the City Amateur League, is reported to be Holy Cross prospect.
 Berardi has been with the Wilby High School ball team during the past two seasons and when school terms were completed he pitched in the Public Parks League.
 He has recently completed his second year at Wilby, having two more to go for a diploma. Berarci will be ineligible to pitch for Wilby again due to the fact that he will become 20 years of age in Novem- Der. No high school players are allowed to participate up reach ing the age of 20.
 Berardi has designs on a career in the big leagues and is taking ex- cellent care of himself, as may be judged by his performances of the past two weeks as a member Of the Brooklyns.

Launches Campaign
 To Prevent Parade
 In Hartford Aug. 3
Marches on City Hall, Street Fights, Hunger Strikes Due to Communists Claims Editor of
 Connecticut Craftsman"

Echoes of labor disturbances in San Francisco and Portland have led to demand Sthat all good Americans in Connecticut wake up and oppose Communistic activities within border lines.
 Demonstrations before city halls, such as Waterbury has witnessed on two occasions, and which neces- sitated the mobilization of the en- tire force of the city, have been publicly credited to communists.
 One of the next moves on the part of the alleged leaders. so 1t is charged, is to have big demon stration in Hartford, so that the the limelight. It is expected that several Waterbury groups, which have been steadily organizing for years, will participate in the par ade.
 Labor Paper Opposes
 The Connecticut Craftsman, of ficial organ of the State Fedora tion of Labor, is opposed to grant, ing a permit to the "Reds".
 Jack Elliott, editor and pub- fisher of the Craftsman writes to acting Mayor Fisher of Hartford and voices his protest against any legal approval of the plan. He writes as "An American citizen who still has faith in our democratic form of government, and existing institutions.
 If this parade is granted" MT Elliott wrote, may I suggest that it wind up by taking all the par ticipants to the police station and then conducting an investigation to determine how many of these Reds are subject to deportation"
 MT Elliott said:
 For your information, on an evening early in April there Was broadcast from Moscow an order to all Communists in the United States as follows: Sixteen weeks of intensive demonstration and strike agitation, to culminate in a gen. eral strike on, August 16.' Proof of the authenticity of this order may be found in the Congressional Record covering the report of an investigation of radicals by con- gressional committee headed by Hamilton Fish.
 "It is high time that good Ameri- cans, like yourself, woke up to the e danger confronting this nation. Communists were largely respon- sible for the recent bloodshed in San Francisco and Portland, Ore May I call your attention that the strike has been repudiated by Pres ident William Green of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor. Granting a permit for a parade, it seems to me. is simply playing into the hands of subversive elements in the community plotting the destruction

Defective Proves" Theory of Tragedy

Detective Connie Shanahan al- most lost his own life yesterday af- ternoon in attempting to prove to his own satisfaction that Joseph Marinclli, who was found fatally injured on the railroad station canopy Sunday morning, could have fallen from a window 31 feet above the top of the canopy.
 The detective clambered on to the window-sill to peer toward Library park, as authorities believe Marinelli did in attempting to see a companion for whom he was waiting. The window sill is so slanted and the balance so precar- ious that Detective Shanahan lurched halfway through the win dow before he could catch hold of the sill and regain his equilibrium.
 Deputy Coroner Walter w. Smyth agrees with the detective that it was most probably in this way that Marinelli fell to his death.
