LEGALITY 7 f 5 !
FOR TARIFFS

Attacks on the constitutionality
of protective tariff acts as o
counter move against attacks on
the AAA's processing taxes are
being planned by farmer groups
of the West, according to COM
munications revealed today by
Chester c. Davis, AAA administra-
tor.
Conferences are to be held in
Texas and in Iowa, the latter to
be attended by representatives Of
other States, at which plans will
be discussed for legal action
against ndustry protective
tariffs, Mr.. Davis said.
Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace, now on a speaking tour of
the Far West, and other agricul-
ture and AAA spokesman, have
been preaching the gospel of the
AAA processing tax as the farm
erS' tariff"
Recent court decisions holding
processing taxes unconstitutional,
and the flood of suits against the
AAA, now totaling 44O, have
aroused resentment among the
5000, 900 farmers who have been
receiving rental and benefit pay
ments under the crop production
control program, according to Mr..
Davis.
The farmers will contend, Mr..
Davis said, that the only import
duty that is constitutional is the
duty "for revenue only"

CONGRESSMAN
FLAY LONG

NEW ORLEANS, July rs CU.s).
Five of Louisiana's eight United
States Representatives flung down
the gauntlet Of battle to Senator
Huey P. Long last night.
Declaring they were back Of
President Roosevelt and denounc-
ing Senator Long as a "Self-con-
feSsed traitor to the party which
elected him" the Congressman,
after a series Of meeting held here
with Anti-Long leaders from all
parts of the State, issued a state
ment promising the people there
would be a Democratic" ticket in
the field to oppose the Senator
when he runs for reelection in
January.
Senator Long has frequently re-
marked that the opposition could
not put out a ticket to fight him.
The congressman characterized
this as the "baselesS claim of a
braggart" and pledged their sup
port to President Roosevelt.
The five militantS, who denied
Senator Long ever had anything
to do with their candidacy or their
elections, are: Cleveland Dear. J.
Y. Sanders, jr., Riley J. Wilson,
John N. Sandlin, Numa F. Montet.
The men further charged that
Senator Longs actions were de-
priving Louisiana of much needed
Federal relief: that he had re.
Gently created, through a SuhSer-
Went legislature, laws to hinder
the spending of Federal funds in
the State; that he had miSrepre'
scented Louisiana as the land OF
the plenty, and that his attacks on
Roosevelt were based upon a
foundation of untruths.

In warnings to home owners and
building supervisors, the bureau has
recommended use of powdered red
squill to kill the rats Red squill. also
called sea onion, is perennial plant
belonging to the lily family.
From the red squill bulbs powder
is made and this powder has proved
an effective poison. 1t is usually
mixed with ground fish or meat as

An advantage of this powder was
said to be its slow action-usually
taking many hours-which gives the
stricken rodents time to crawl out into

UNDER FIRE
FOR UNION LETTER
Manufacturers See Move to
Influence Conferences
for New N. R. A.
By the Associated Press.


George L. Berry, head of the press
mems union, recently named by Pres
ident Roosevelt as "co-ordinator for
industrial cooperation" today was
under fire by the National AsSoCia-
ton of Manufacturers as the result of
a letter he has sent to 10000 labor
unions asking for factual data on wage
cuts and heightened hours since the
collapse OF the N. R. A.
In a statement last night c. L. Bar
do. president of the association, as
serted that Berry had proceeded on
"the arbitrary assumption that in
dustry had heightened hours and cut
wages. and then added:
The letter finally reveals
that the real intent of the proposed
conferences next month by the Re
covery Administration is nothing else
than to lay the groundwork for new
N r. A. legislation.

"Obviously intended to mobilize the
support of labor unions for such legis-
lation, the letter is the best argument
tlldb 1ldS against lllc
holding of such conferences

suggested by Berry in letters to vari-
Gus industries. and were intended to
provide opportunity for general dis

used by Berry in his letter to the
labor unions, asserting his reference
to employees as the unwilling victims
of wage and hour changes by employ
ers is certainly not the language of
an impartial Government official"
The manufacturers statement also
hit at what Bardo termed duplca-
ton or near duplication Of effort
within the skeleton remains of the old
N. r. A. He said:
Mr.. Berrys invitation to labor
unions to furnish him directly with
information about departures from
code wages and hours indicates that
he Is unwilling to be governed by the
results of the study now being made
rection of the President survey for
which the taxpayers money is being
spent to keep employees upon the N,
r. A. pay roll since the Schechter
IN r. Al decision"
Meanwhile, Berry released a copy
of his letter to the unions, which had
been published previously from other
sources. and announced further "a
similar effort to secure facts on de-
partures from trade practice provi-
sions is now being worked out
Berry Denies Duplication.
Berry said neither the union let
ter nor the new plan duplicated the
work of a committee directed by the
President to obtain somewhat SINH
lar information. Since August. this
group has been using $50 N. r. A.
employees in field work.
Members of the committee said
they had not been informed of
Berry's plans, but that they did not
regard his efforts as an encroaChment
and that Berry was privileged to OBJ
tain such data directly if he desired.
The committees members explained
they we're surveying so major indus
tries to determine changes in labor
and trade practice conditions, by first
obtaining figures from employers and
then checking personally with the en-
ployes.
