INDICTMENTS
FOR TH0SE0N

Judge Advocates Action
for Persons Refusing to
Seek Private Work

AMERICUS, Ga, May %. -
(UP). - Superior Judge w. M.
Harper yesterday advocated vag-
rancy indictments for persons on
relief rolls who refuse to seek en-
ployment in private industry.
Charging a county grand jury,
the 69-year-old judge bitterly as
sailed idleness as "crime against
society,"" adding that "those who
voluntarily remain idle impose up
on and are a menace to society,""
"a person who is able to work,
can procure work and has no visi-
BILE means Of support, although re-
lief funds are supplied him, is a
vagrant under our law and should
be indicted as SUCH" he continu-
ed.

The agricultural industry finds
itself in a precarious situation be-
cause of extensive shortage of la
Dor, and yet it is true that large
numbers who are eligible for such
work are practically idle"
The superior judge said that
the federal social security pro-
gram is giving rise to "some UNI
wholesome conditions" Grown
ups, he said, apparently can "be
spoiled as easily as children, and
when once spoiled are much hard
er to cure"
"There is much agitation and
legislation looking to social secur-
ity," he concluded, "but a SUBJ
stantial social security will not be
reached merely by taxation. {.
1t must be founded upon a sober,
moral and law-abiding citizenship,
imbued with a paramount incenti-
tive to make it's way"

WOULD GIVE WORK TO
MILLIONS NOW IDLE

WASHINGTON, May %. (UP)
President Roosevelt's minimum
wage and maximum hours pro-
gram is linked directly with the
drive to balance the budget. New
Dealers believe the law would re-
move millions from relief rolls.
Some economists believe passage
of the law would give employment
to 100000 persons now idle.
President Roosevelt asked con-
gress in a special message yester-
day to enact at this session legis-
lation which would outlaw child
labor in interstate industries and
establish wage and hour stand
ards along the lines Of the invali-
dated NRA for all workers in in
terstate commerce.
Almost Immediately corollary
bills were introduced in both the
house and senate embodying the
presidents ideas and, in effect,
launching his long-heralded "sec-
ond New Deal" for what he terms
the underprivileged at the bottom
of the economic ladder.
The measures, sponsored by
Sen. Hugh l.. Black, D.. Ala, and
Rep. William R. Connery, d.,
Mass.-chairmen Of the senate
and house labor committees
were promptly referred to those
committees for study.
Their provisions were identical.
They call for creation of a five
man board, to be named by the
president, which would set up and
administer maximum hour and
minimum wage levels for the mil
lions of workers engaged in in
dustry within the limits of inter-
state commerce.
Violations by any employer
or the employment Of children un-
der 16 years Of age-would EN-
power the board to enjoin, through
federal courts, the shipment or
sale in interstate markets Of goods
produced by those adjudged gull
ty. The joint bills-which admit
tedly are an attempt to make per-
manent certain labor detectives Of
the outlawed NRA-briefly pro-
vide:
/. A labor standards board Of
five appointed by the president to
control industrial wages in inter-
state commerce;
2. Congress would be placed on
record opposing employment of
workers under substandard labor
conditions in occupations in inter-
state commerce.;
3. Committee studies would de-
termine hour and wage levels;
4. Employment Of children un-
der 16 would be defined as an un-
fair practice;
5. A "fair wage" would be con-
sidered one "fairly and reasonably
commensurate with the value OF
