ON THIEVES

Determined to rid the city of
small.time holdup men and purse
snatchers, washington police are
staging a widespread roundup of
suspected offenders.
Under the direction of Lieut..
John Fowler, a supervisory officer
over several police squads, II col
ored men and women already have
been taken into custody and more
arrests are expected daily.
A continuous drive against petty
thievery is the plan, it was learned,
with emphasis to be placed on
elimination of what the authorities
term yoke jobs" holdups in
which one thug grabs a victim
around the neck while a confed
crate searches pockets.
The campaign, which began yes
terday and will go on indefinitely,
has so far been waged principally
by the robbery squad, with assis-
tance from the homicide and other
squads.

INDUSTRY TOLD
FIRST DUTY IS
MORE JOBS
By JAMES L. KILGALLEN

NEW YORK, Dec. 9 G.N.S).
Speaking before 1000 business
leaders, c. M. Chester, president Of
the National Association Of Manu-
facturers, today declared it is in
duStry's job to absorb all the un-
employed possible, create still more
jobs, and to do all it can to provide
more of the comforts of life for the
American people.
His was the keynote speech be-
fore the opening sessions of the
Congress of American Industry
which will conclude tomorrow
afternoon.
More Jobs Than in 1929
He revealed that employment
among the member companies of
the National Association of Man
ufacturers was actually 106 per
cent of the 1929 level instead of
the 80 to 95 per cent generally
estimated.
These figures we're based on a
canvass of the N. A. M. member
ship in which returns were re-
ceived from firms employing
nearly 100000 people-one sixth
of the people at work in manu-
featuring industry.
He also recommended that in
duStry join in the creation of a
National Depression Study Com
mittee" to analyze the causes Of
the receding depression in an ef'
fort to eliminate the business
cycles or make them less severe.
Chester urged that the natural
processes of recovery be allowed
to operate and warned that such
legislation as the arbitrary 30-hour
work week for industry would in
terrupt this progress.
Public Interest First
In outlining his suggested pro
gram for the consideration of the
assembled executives, Chester put
first on the list industry's accept
ance Of its responsibility for the
national welfare "aS being an even
higher duty than the successful
operation of private business"
Chester declared that business
gains since NRA vent out Of eX-
1stence have been among the most
pronounced in history. The rec
ord shows, he said, that on the
average there were no wage reduc-
tions. In fact, he asserted, the
average weekly earnings, (which
mean more than the hourly rate
to the worker" have increased IS
per cent.

Oregon SyndicaIism
Law i'm High Court

Constitutionality of Oregon's
drastic criminal syndicalism law
under which a Communist was SEN
fenced to seven years imprison-
ment was weighed by the Supreme
Court today
While the measure was attacked
as an invasion of civil liberties, it
was defended as powerful weapon
to break up the advocacy of vio-
lence to effect a revolutionary
change in government or industry.
The case was appealed by Dirk
DeJonge, who was convicted OF
violating the oregon law after he
assisted at a Communist meeting
held in Portland, Ore, during the
longShoremen's strike.
The Washington times., 1936-12-09

Osmond K. Fraenkel, Of New
York, DeJonge's attorney, told the
high court that the oregon law
was so broad that a person who
was not a Communist, but presided
at a Communist meeting, could
be sent to the penitentiary.
Attorney General Willis S.
Moore of Oregon, defending the
law, said in a brief "the evidence
in this case showed that the Com
munist party teaches and advo-
Gates criminal syyndicalism and
sabotage as a means of affecting
a change or revolution in industry
or government"

four years. If they dcn't. he'll get along
well enough
While Mrs. Roosevelt was travelling to
Texas, some 2 900 U. S. businessmen were
assembled in Washington last week for
the prime purpose of letting her son know
that they detested virtually everything he
has done.
The occasion was the fourth annuol con
vention of the u S. Chamber of Com
merce under the New Deal Most of the
delegates devoutly hoped it would be the
last. In 1888 the Chambermen meekly &C
cepted the Presidents personal proffer f

send his greeting to the assembled Cham
bermen but conspicuously publicized his
opinion that they no longer voiced tie

Random Notes

Several citizens have been asking why the
Hon. Arnold M Golden has not made any
public statement concerning his visit to
Washington as delegate from the Virgin
Islands We know that he succeeded in
pushing through new organic act, that he
secured appreciable notifications in the tax
bill since pa sed by Congress and that the
visit created much good will for the islands
We suggest that Mr.. Golden speak to the
people in Christiansted at the earliest date
possible and that the meeting be held in the
open air so that all who would like to hear
him will have the opportunity of doing so.

TO REPLY
TO HITLER'S
DECREE
By LINDSAY PARROTT

PARIS, Aug. 27 U.N.SO Series
of conferences aimed at finding an
answer to Chancellor Hitler's two
year consumption decree for the
German army were launched at
the French war Ministry today.
First of the meetings followed
prolonged discussion between Pre-
mier Leon Blum and Maj. Gen.
Marie Gamelin, chief of the gen.
eral staff, leading to belief the
latter body has been instructed to
frame an entirely new defense
plan based on Hitler's decree as
soon as possible.
It was thought likely the new
project may be ready for presenta-
ton to the military affairs COM
mittee of the chamber of deputies
when it meets next week.
Air Pact Denied
Government circles today denied
foreign reports France had called
a meeting of Soviet, Rumanlan
and Czechoslovakian statesmen at
Geneva in September to discuss
formation of a four-poWer air pact.
Reports that DR.. Hjalmar
Schact, president of the Reichs-
bank, broached a peace pact pro
poSal to Blum during luncheon at
the Bank of France aroused Maui
rice Thorez, French Communist
leader, to send a sharp note to
the premier objecting to the
honors being paid to Schacht.
Blum replied he could not re
fuse conversations with Germany,
but this brought a stinging answer
from the French Communist
party, through its newspaper HUI
mantle, which virtually accused
Blum of violating his election
pledge to negotiate collective Sc
curity through the League OF Ma
tions.
Secret Diplomacy Hit
The paper demanded that France
refuse to participate in secret dip
1omacy.
In his answer to Thorez, which
was published in an open letter,
Blum gave dSSuA dAACCo UANC 4ASAANAA
government would safeguard
Frances dignity, but added he
could not fail to believe in the
possibility of maintaining peace.
For this reason, he said, he
could not refuse conversations
with Germany, even after the
Reich had extended its compul-
sorry military service to two years
"a move which has greatly agl-
tated French statesmen.
The message Schacht brought
Blum from Hitler leaked out de-
spite all efforts to keep it secret.
25-Year Pact Asked
It was, in effect:
"Sign a 25-year peace pact
with Germany, drop your Sys-
TEN of alliances and the
FrancO-SOviet pact, adopt an at
titude of real neutrality toward
the Spanish civil war and build
up a LOcarnO pact among the
major European states"
The German proposition Of
fered, in return, to reconstruct
anco-German economic and
financial relations on the basis of
a new Locarno, coupled with
eventual arms reduction when
the Red menace is past"

HAPPY RELIEF
FROM PAINFUL
BACKACHE
Caused By Tired KidneYs

Many Of those gnawing, nagging.
painful backaches people blame on
colds or strains are often caused by
tired kidneys-and may be relieved
when treated in the right way.
The kidneys are one Of Natures
chief ways Of taking acids and
wastes out Of the blood. A healthy
person should pass about 3 pints a
day and so get rid Of more than 3
pounds Of waste matter.
If the Is miles of kidney tubes and
filters don't work we'll, waste stays in
the body and may become poisonous.
It may start nagging backaches, leg
pains, loss Of pep and energy, getting
up nights, swelling, puff1ness under
the eyes, headaches and dizziness.
Don't let it lay you up.
Ask your druggist for Doan's Pills
used successfully by millions for
over 40 years. They give happy relief
and will help to flush out the Is miles
Of kidney tubes. Get Doan's Pills.
