Booth Harrington, Snug
in Meridian-St. Home. Is
Warm FireSide Talker
Author Discusses His DOGS
Indiana Football and
Writing.
BY JOE COLLIER

Booth Harrington is a bit diff
cult about offering you one of his
specially made long cigarets, be-
cause several years ago he sent a
tin Of so to friend, who replied
they we're lovely.
Several months later Mr.. Tarking-
ton vas in the mans home and
found the tin. Only three were
gone.
But he smokes them chain fash
ion as he sits in comfortable chair
by his f1reside in his North Side
home, 4270 N Meridian-st. and talks
about more things in an hour than
one conveniently can arrange into
one piece.
He started with dogs and re-
marked they have exceptional mem
cries. His own, he said, after
long absence from the indianapolis
home, recalled the first day that
their master takes nap every aft
ernoon.
Dogs Nap, Too
They are courteous enough to
take a nap at the same time in the
same room so that they can not be
guilty of disturbing Mr.. Tarking-
ton. That first day they led him
directly to the room at the CUSTOM
ary time.
The movies and New York critics,
he said, have all but ruined the
road show business and it's a shame
Amateur dramatic societies, he said,
won't stimulate a revival. His own
experience as a member of the
indianapolis Dramatic Society, he
recalled, was that most members
attended in the hope that some If
their acting friends would make
fools Of themselves.
Critical of New York
He does wish that New York
would stop regarding itself as the
United States of America, and he
believes that a writing man has
more opportunity to study people in
small town than in a city.
He is surprised and gratifled at
the advances Indiana ana middle
Western schools have made in foot
ball, and he doubts if college base
ball ever will attain much popu-
larity, because the professionals are
too much better.
1t is nice to have reached elderly
years and to no longer be expected
to attend parties and dances, and
sometimes, he says, he wonders why
ne ever did attend them.
1t doesn't matter much to him
that the movies pretty much dis
torted the character of Alice in film
ing his Alice Adams, because he says
that after all the book still exists
as proof of what he meant.
He Wrote Scenario
Once he wrote a scenario for the
movies and was paid a thwacking
sum for it, only to find they had
used the barest suspicion of an idea
from it. 1t puzzled him a little

Mayor La Guardia, Of New York,
declares he will not permit taxicab
rates to be lowered until he is COM
PEELED to by court decree. The Board
of Aldermen has the power to fix
the rates, which are now 35 cents for
the first mile and 20 cents for each
mile thereafter. He made the state
ment in connection with the fling Of
suit by a taxicab concern in the
New York supreme court to compel
city officials to approve the installa-
lion Of low-rate cab meters.
unless compelled to do so by the
courts" the mayor said, 81 will, un-
der no circumstances, under present
conditions permit the establishment
Of reduced rates. When taxi owners
have established a decent living wage
for their drivers and have fixed an
cight-hour day, there will be time
enough to discuss reduced rates.
"Uader present conditions the driver
is forced to work until he is exhaust
ed to exc out a meager pittance. Until
decent working hours are established
and long hours eliminated, the rid
ing public will always be subjected
to possible accidents caused by ex-
haustion of drivers while driving. A
lower rate at this time will not i'm
prove the lot Of the driver or the
safety Of the passenger, nor will it
increase business"

And this is a fair sample of what

ever to the garment trade. 1t is a

every industry if it gains headway.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1935-07-26

New York (ILNS) S)-Good old cut
competition is selling the shirt trade
and promising to make shambles OF
the shirt market, according to signs
here, and marked by the action of shirt
wholesalers in dumping 10000 shirts
in one day last week. The condition
is due to collapse incident to the NRA
decision of the supreme court. Shirt
men declare that a "chiseler' is ap-
pearing on every corner.
SO heavy has the price cutting be-
come that shirts Of the best cotton
quality can be picked up for dol
lar apiece, and for even less if bought
in dozen or half dozen lots.
Back of it all is the sinister hand
of the "chiseller," mostly in Connecti-
cut and Pennsylvania. Legitimate
shirt makers are caught in wave Of
price cutting that is sweeping them
along too, and to save themselves they
too are getting into the clear. They
have visions of the sweatshops
swamping the shirt market with cheap
products for the fall trade.
Let it be said that shirt makers
more than possibly any other class
in the garment industry stand con-
stantly in the shadow of pauper and
cut-throaat competition, and of the
bootlegging Of cheaply made products
in the garment market. The boot
leggers of Connecticut and Pennsyl-
vania are trying to flood the market
and forcing the decent element to
convert their stocks into whatever
cash they can get.
The sweatshops sell principally to
the chain stores, and on a So a week
labor market, these shops can flood
the chain stores with shirts selling
at 33 cents upward. This puts the
sweatshop into complete control OF
the situation and drives the decent
element to cover in a hurry.
And let it be said again that nc
element in the garment industry was
quite so vociferous in it's demand thai
the NRA should be hit with a leaC
pipe and put out of business as were
these shirt makers before the su
preme court decision. But now, wher
they are faced with market loading
up on all kinds of sweatshop plunder
and selling at any old price, they arr
not so happy over their previous
leather-l lunged vociferous clamorings
and some of them are even wishinl
they had the good old NRA and it
Blue Eagle back again.
In few other industries have pro
ducers gone in on such large seal,
in mass production as in the shir
trade. The whole industry is gearet
to multiple production, and with ;
few twists on wage scales, these mas
producers have been able to practi
cally put the class business into tn
discard. No shirt manufacturer Q
high-grade products is hard heade'
enough to throw himself into tn
seetmng sweatshop vortex and expec
to come out Of it with even his owl
shirt.
So it begins to look like the shir
business of New York is going to Ian

tion that the originals were burned
by direct orders Of higher officials in
the Western Union. Attempts by
one high official in that company were
made TO get Fisher to be the goat
in the fast approaching scandal; and
when Fisher refused the goat role and
consulted his lawyer, he was ''sus-
pended" without pay
This astounding story, uncoveringI
what is probably the worst-smelling
piece of lobbying that even the utili-
ties have ever perpetrated, was told
on the stand before the senate lobby
committee by Fisher himself, after
the groundwork had cen laid by Con-
gressman D. J. Driscoll, of Warren.
Driscoll Begins Inquiry
Driscoll, known supporter of the
Wheeler -Rayburn bill and represen-
tative from the Pennsylvania district
IN which Warren is situated, received
| SIC kilograms in two days from that
town of only $4,000 people. All de-
manded that he vote against the bill.
| Driscoll is what farmers call ''no-
| tice taking cuss"; and he noticed that
only a very few names signed to the
telegrams We're familiar to him,
though he had a wide acquaintance
in the town. He also noticed that
surprising number Of the names
commenced with the letter B.
among the Names Mr.. Driscoll
told the committee, was that of John
S. Bayer, a friend Of long standing,
| wrote Bayer, giving him my posi-
tion on the Utilities Holding Company
bill.
'Bayer replied that my letter was
quite a surprise to him, in that he
had not sent me telegram, nor had
he authorized anyone else to do So"
(Bayer has since testified before
the committee that he never sent a
/ telegram to Driscoll, and never al
lowed or permitted anyone to do 50
| in his name.)
A. G. & E. Enters Picture
Two other friends of Driscoll whose
names were signed to kilograms also
reported that they had not tele-
graphed Congressman Driscoll, and
had not authorized anyone to do so.
|Driscoll decided to go to the bottom
of the matter, and wrote to j. A.
Fisher, Western Union manager at
Warren, asking how many Of the
hundreds Of kilograms sent were
filled in person.
| Fisher referred the matter to head
quarters; and headquarters at once
tried to make him the goat. He re-
fused, consulted lawyer; and on the
