DENVER, April 9.-F. E. Mollin of
Denver, secretary Of the American
National Live Stock Association, said
yesterday the Federal program for
the relief Of Western cattlemen, made
possible by President Roosevelt's ac-
ton Saturday In signing the bill max
ing cattle q basic commodity, will be

April 26.
Mollin said he received q telegram
from Chester G. Davis, head Of the
Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton, disclosing that the conference
will bring together live stock pro-
ducers and Government officials.
Mollin said it was expected the
cattlemen will urge that the quickest
relief can be obtained through pur-
chases by the Government Of beef for
distribution among the needy and for
the purchase of diseased cattle to be
used for fertilizer.
Mollin said cattlemen generally will
ask that no general sign-up for re-
ducing production be tried at first
and that any processing tax be post
poned until September l, at the ear
liest, and be spread out over as long
a period as possible.

CODE COMPULS|ON
THEORY IN DANGER
Enforcement Job Is Held
Main Problem of
New Deal.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

"Enforcement"-that word which
became associated with failure to
comply with the prohibition law-has
come back in the official vocabulary.
And 1t looks as II the N. r. A. has
an enforcement Job beside which the
Volstead act seems, In recollection,
relatively easy task.
For the violators Of the N. r. A.
are numerous. They are growing in
numbers daily. There are not enough
Government detectives and policemen
to detect all the violators or to in
vestigate all the complaints.
The reason for this gradual collapse
Of the N. r. A. theory Of compulsion
is that the Government arbitrarily told
business men, large and small, to
shorten hours and increase pay rolls,
and this added to the costs all along
the line. The strong businesses could
stand the increases, the weak ones
could not.
Choose to Violate Codes.
Being confronted with a choice of
going deeper into the red and being
forced out of business altogether,
many small concerns have chosen to
forget the code requirements or the
Blue Eagle agreements, but while
there is sympathy for those who can
not economically comply with the
rules laid down, the fact remains that
the companies that do meet the added
costs are confronted with competition
by units which are not obeying codes
| and hence can sell at lower costs.
So the temptation to the stronger
units Is to meet competitive condi-
tions and find ways and means of
| cutting costs. Complaints of nom
compliance are increasing all the time.
The businesses that do comply expect
the Government to see to it that their
competitors do. If the Government
fails then the stronger units will feel
! inclined to disregard the codes, too.
patronizing tn" "chiselers," Just as it
did the bootlegger. Low-price stores
get trade whether or not they fly the
Blue Eagle.
Concentrated on Traffic.
When the Volstead act was first put
in operation there was a tendency to
fear that the toter of a hip flask
| would be arrested. Many were appre-
hended. But gradually the Govern
ment found it an impossible Job and
concentrated its attention on traffic
in bulk rather than retail sales.
Finally public sentiment seemed to
condone violations and juries showed
a disinclination to convict the average

major task Of securing adherence as
far as possible with those trade prac-
tices.
The essential difference between
this plan and what Is being done
today is that the Government has
involved itself in the QUESTION Of
establishing minimum sales costs and
this has been the cause Of rising
prices to the consumer, as well as
confusion and chaos all along the
line. A minimum Of artificial control
by Government and a maximum Of
responsibility placed on trade asso-
Citations, with moral pressure from the
Government, Is the only way the N.
r. A. can be saved from complete
collapse in the next few months.

offender. It was found that unless
public sentiment was back Of the
prosecution enforcement fell down.
VIII the N. r. A. meet the same
fate? There are signs that the Gov
ernment Is experiencing almost exactly
the same reaction to the problem Of
getting evidence locally to convict
those who are unable to comply with
the codes or the Blue Eagle agree
ments.
The answer to the prohibition Diff
Guilty. though not necessarily a final
solution, has been to take from the
Federal Government the responsibility
for enforcing temperance. Local bodies
now have the task. In business there
could hardly be any delegation of the
work of enforcement to States or
cities. The nearest thing to a local
unit upon which the responsibility for
enforcement could be placed is the
trade association or chambers Of COM
merce.
Decision Is Needed.
The trade groups are best equipped
to sift the complaints, but they are
by no means able to correct the
economic inequalities which the N.
r. A. has brought. Somewhere some
one must make a decision as to
whether the units that cannot stand
the gaff or increased expense must be
forced out of business and by whom?
Who will arbitrarily allocate to a given
trade or industry certain number
of factories or operating units? And
doesn't this, II maintained, give the
remaining groups monopoly? Why
should one group of citizens be per-
mitted to do business and another
stopped from it?
The theory Of compulsion, however,
leads to the arbitrary exercise Of power
by the Government.
The N. r. A. codes have back OF
them a commendable purpose and
business men in general think some
splendid social gains have been made
by the N. r. A. mechanism, but they
cannot see how the Government can
take the responsibility for increasing
costs and thus limiting competition
Just because it is desired to keep
wages from tagging behind improved
business.
Roosevelt's Problem.
Some definition OF the area in
which the N. r. A. shall move in the
future must soon be made. When
President Roosevelt comes back from
his vacation this will be his mos
important problem. The only prac-
ticable solution thus far suggested has
come from business itself-use the N
R. A. code system to maintain mini.
mum wages, keep child labor ano
sweatshop conditions from coming
back, work out trade practices that
come plainly within the meaning OF
unfair competition as defined by law
for the last 40 years, and leave to
trade and industrial associations the
