WAGE BILL BACKED
BYLAWYERS' GUILD
Ramspeck Urges Semi Judi
ciaI Board With Flexible
Powers to Handle Act.

Pledging themselves to- continue
efforts In behalf Of enactment OF
Federal wage and hour legislation, the
labor relations conference sponsored
here by the National Lawyers Guild
yesterday heard Representative RAM
speck, Democrat. of Georgia and
member of the House Labor Commit
tee, emphasize that the only effective
and constitutional manner of admin
tstering such law would be through
An Independent, semi-judicial board
with powers sufficiently flexible to
allow varying standards in different
regions and industries.
Mr.. Ramspeck, one OF the few
Southern Congressman to support this
legislation and to vote against the
recommital action In the House on
Friday night, referred pointedly to
the change in attitude toward the
measure by William Green, president
of the American Federation Of Labor,
following the Denver convention of the
federation and q meeting of its Ex-
ecutive Council here.
The Congressman said he did not
favor the proposal of the federation
and Of the lawyers guild that such
law should Ak fat 44-hour and
40-cent basis for labor minima. He
did not believe. he said, that such
arbitrary standards would be found
constitutional.
Completing their sessions this morn
ing, the conference was to hear Brien
Mcmahon, Assistant Attorney General,
discuss application Of Federal laws
against interstate transportation Of
strike-breakers.
Before devoting an afternoon to
wage and hour legislation. the con-
ferees yesterday morning discussed .
model for State anti-injunction laws.
Edward Berman, director Of labor re-
search for the w. P. A., and Nathan
Greene, editor Of the International
Juridicial Association Bulletin, were
the speakers.
Appeal for support of . two-point
program on behalf of maritime labor
was placed before the conference by

Hail Growth OF Opposition
Party politics is a more lively
topic of discussion here than for
many months past, with the appar-
ent beginning of the regeneration
of the Republican Party. The real
leaders of Democratic thought would
welcome a stronger Opposition than
has been effective in the past few
years. The movement for a Republi-
can conference early in 1898. at
which all elements of the party
would be represented, and where a
concrete, clear-cut definition of
party policies may be formulated
is looked upon here as a construc-
tive first step. Because the proposal
in its beginning had the indorse-
ment of former President Herbert
Hoover, if it did not originate with
him, it was looked upon with sus-
picion by many Republican polite
ians, who feared that 1t was a bid

of transfers, and a checking &C
count. This is kept in duplicate, one
set of books inside the prison and
the other in the outside admins
trative office. TRUSTEES do the work.
The mon are given blank transfer
slips, resembling checks. They write
the amount, the person to receive
it, and check on the money they
have left or accumulated with the
warden. Scores of these transfers
are made daily.
Sometimes, they will cheat and is
sue more slips than they have funds
available. Then all slips are turned
down. In the meantime the cheater
has spent his funds by buying gro
ceries for himself. The men are left
with bad checks on their hands.
These instances require %investiga-
ton and punishment. 1t creates hard
feeling among the prisoners, a con-
dition which leads to trouble and
fights. Such cheaters are soon put
where they a do no mischief.
TRUSTEES working in the sewing
room, around the yard, in the varl-
Gus shops, all have knives. These
knives are counted before the men
are locked up, and turned over to
