The new French labor code seems
to be going through. The French SEN
ate is the stronghold of conservatism,
not to say reaction, as our own senate
has been on many occasions here.
But the French senate has backed
down. 1t put an amendment in the
code, cutting out the immensely I'M
portant provisions that wages shall
rise as the cost Of living rises and
Camille Chautemps, premier, came
over and read the riot act. The senate
receded, smashed its own amendment;
and the chances are that the labor
code will go through pretty nearly as
the popular front framed it.
France has been rather slow in
making some social advances. The
reasons are two-fold Every nation
which has to keep eternal guard on its
frontier is sure to neglect some mat
tiers nearer home; and besides, France
has been the leading large nation for
small industries and small farms.
But even there, the industrial revolu-
ton has gone far enough to demand
special projections to labor and the
popular front seems determined tc
get them.

gnashing of teeth in the ranks of the

A New Version of "Over There

peace on earth, each on earth,
Over there! Over there!
Keep the war, keep the war,
Over there!
Let's just be good neighbors,
No guns or sabers,
No wartime labors anywhere,
On the square, say prayer,
Peace on earth, Peach on earth,
everywhere"
Keep on saying,
Keep right on praying
That Wen stay right here
Till it's over, over there!

Ex-HEADLINER IS TO FIGHT ON
 SMOKER CARD
Billy McCann, Running Mate of Freddie Steele, Is
 oi Main-Eventer

sN Here's the way the Sunday night smoker card for the Elks Hall has been set up to usher in the Fourth of July celebration:
 Main Event-Billy McCann vs. Billy Jacks, welterweights
 Semi-Final-Conny Luft ys. Don Stilwell (Haida), light-heavies.
 Special Johnny Trambi- tas vs Danny Diaz middleweights.
 Prelims-Ken Traitor vs. Roy Brown, bantams; Dave Howard vs. Dave Andrews. lightweights; Peter Jack vs. Pete Sumdum, light weights; and one surprise match.
 This main eventer Billy McCann has been touted by the railbirds as real conner" McCann has fought some of the best in the game and was at one time stable mate of that middleweight champion, Fred die Steele.
 Billy Jacks, Juneau, lad, has wonderful foot work and the sta- nina and the punch He gave Jim- my Gleason "a tough man in any ring) che of the toughest flights of that nasty sWinger's experience.
 Conny Luft is a light-heavy from Minnesota where the boys swing 50 pounds of hay on pitchfork for 12 hours day to work up an appetite. Luft has seen good deal of time in the ring and should be a hard boy to handle for Haida Stil- well.
 StilWell is the best 175-pounder on the Haida, and is rumored to be the dark horse that will steal the show with a bombing right hand that is apt to end a fight almost any time
 Johnny Trambitas, matched with Danny Diaz, is supposed to be a fast and clever mixer He comes of a fighting family line. His father, Valley Trambitas, was one of the best middleWeights on the Pacific Coast some 25 years ago, and be- queather lot of ring science to son Johnny.
 Danny Diaz is a blonde Mexican lad, with a fast set of feet and the matador heart of his distant coun- try.
 The rest of the matches on the card show Matchmaker Charlie Hardy to have been employing rare judgment. Hardy, a lightweight of 25 years ago, fighting under Jimmy Dime and with George Chip and Eddie McGoorty, follows the policy of matching for talent and not names.
 We've honestly got cracking good card Hardy said.
 Tickets are on sale at the Alaskan Hotel, Triangle Inn, New York Tav- ern, and the Imperial.

emergency conservation workers who
apparently did not exist. Gen. Reed
denied the vouchers were made out
to an imaginary Civilian Conservation
Corps camp in the Shenandoah Ma
tional Park
The Inspector General said the
fraud was discovered when a substi-
tute for Mr.. Stitely appeared at the
Army Finance ONCE with one
voucher instead of two. A woman
clerk inquired about little voucher"
that was missing, explaining that Mr..
Stitely always brought a big voucher
and little voucher" An investiga-
ton of the mysterious little voucher"
resulted in discovery of the fraud.
The committee was told the for
geries were revealed by DR.. Wilmer
Souder, Bureau of Standards hand
writing expert. who examined Bruno
Richard Hauptmann's handwriting in
the Lindbergh case Gen. Reed showed
the committee a letter signed with the
name of J. R. Lassiter, superintendent
Of conservation work in the Shenan-
doah National Park, which purported
to authorize Mr.. Stitely to take vouch-
ers to the Army finance ONCE and re-
ceive checks for emergency conserva-
ton work.
Chairman Adams read Department
OF Justice Investigators report in
which Mr. H. =
signed the letter and expressed wiling
ness to testify he had no knowledge of
any Of the men whose names were
listed on the fraudulent pay roll vouch-
ers for salary payments. The super
intendent, the report added, said he
had never heard of any blister rust
checkers" such As were indicated on
the vouchers.
Reed Quiz1ed Closely.
Gen. Reed was questioned closely by
members Of the committee as to why
Army finance officers could not have
discovered the forgery Immediately.
He declared he did not think it the
duty of the Army to investigate the
authenticity Of the signatures on all
the vouchers submitted by the Interior
Department.
The Army's task was to pay prop
erly authenticated vouchers" Gen.
Reed explained. Il don't think We ever
went any farther than to do that"
Since the disclosure of this fraud,
has the Army taken steps to check all
such vouchers?" inquired Senator
OMahoney, Democrat. of Wyoming.
Gen. Reed said the War Department

is still investigating the whole case
with a view to ascertaining to what
extent. II any, the vouchers were
checked.
Stitely was admitted to bail when
first arraigned before United States
Commissioner Needham C. Turnage,
who set bond at $4,000 When
Stitely was arraigned before Justice
Ccx, last October IS, the judge re-
duced the bond to $1,000.
Stitely had pleaded guilty to nine
counts each Of which carried a maxi
mum Of 10 years thus, it is possible
that he may be sentenced to 80 years
in prison. 1t was learned that the
probation officer had not completed
his investigation today. and that SEN
tence will not be imposed until he
