D. c. MILL STRIKE
BELIEVED ENDED
Employees Election Results
Announced by Wilkins
Rogers Co.

s. H. Rogers, vice president OF the
Wilkins-RQgers Milling Co., said today
he believed the results Of an employees
election held yesterday had terminated
the recent strike of 10 workers at the
mill.
Nineteen out OF ~ workers voted to
be represented by the Warehouse
Union, American Federation of Labor
affiliate. Balloting was conducted by
the Cancellation Bureau of the Depart
ment Of Labor, Mr.. Rogers stated.
Expected Back to Work.
The mill operator said he thought
"all 19 would be coming back to work
today. We are trying to find jobs for
them. There have been enough men
to run along during the strike, anyhow,
because this is not our busy season.
The day men were all here this morn
ing"
E. c. Nagel, business agent for the
union, said recognition for the union
will be sought at conference within
the next week, despite the results of
yesterdays ballot.
The strike was called when officials
OF the company requested an election
before negotiating with the union.
Issues Statement.
Mr.. Rogers issued a statement which
he said was designed to clear UP "a
public misconception as to wages and
hours here" The company has only
one $l6-a-week employe, man en-
ployed intermittently for unloading
work, he declared, and the only man
in the will working so hours a week
is millwright who works overtime
voluntarily, on account of the nature
OF his duties. and receives $50 a week
when he puts in so hours"

Rules and Crowded Dockets, Which
Tend to FAVOR the Accused.

ing for case to come to trial because
no one can forecast how long the cases
ahead will take, and If there are not
enough cases waiting to be tried the
calendar breaks down and the Judge
and jury have no work before them"
Mr.. Pine told the business men that
you have right to expect, indeed to
demand. efficient enforcement of the
criminal laws. To be efficient, law en-
forcement must contemplate in its
orbit speedy trials. A speedy trial, in
my opinion. constitutes an element
more important than any other, and
perhaps more important than all
others, in crime control"
The prosecutor said that professional
criminals, such as burglars and rob-
bers, are apt to work in jurisdictions
where, if caught. they know they can
get out on bond and won't be tried
for long time.
Gangs Ply Trade.
Mr.. Pine said that housebreakings,
larcenies, robberies, etc, "are always
premeditated and frequently profess
sional," and are executed by individ-
uals and gangs who go from place to
place where they believe apprehension
least likely" and a chance OF coming to
trial most remote.
Il have heard defendants who were
tried very promptly after indictment
complain that they were misled into
believing that the heat was not on in
Washington.
Declaring that the speedier the trial,
The larger Glance of conviction, Mr..
Pine said, I'VE have as an objective,
which may be impossible Of accom-
pfishment, the trying of every ordinary
case within three weeks OF indict-
ment."
The prosecutor expressed hope that
criminal trials can be expedited further
by the introduction of a new set of
rules, like those now in force in the
civil section of District Court. He said
he expected the early removal of tech
nical barriers in our criminal jurispru-
dence whose only function is to delay.
"A great step has been made in the
simplification of legal refinements by
the recently adopted rules of practice
in civil cases, for which the present
Attorney General is more responsible
than any one man."
Mr.. Pine expressed the belief that
this was only step toward the elimin-
alton of "intolerable technicalities, out
moded and useless. whose only present.
day function is to hamper justice" The
Attorney Generals interest in this re-
form, Mr.. Pine said, makes the out
look for early revarnping of our crimi-
nal procedure rules very bright"
The prosecutor concluded with the
statement:
Speedy justice is the strongest
weapon which society has against
crime"

.SUBPOENAS READY
FOR WITNESSES IN
MEDICAL INQUIRY
Grand Jury Proceedings
Will Start Monday in
Restraint Probe.
SEVERAL DOCTORS ASK
PERMISSION TO TESTIFY
Government May Seek Transfer
Of Many A. M. A. Records
Here for Perusal.

Antitrust officials of the Depart
ment of Justice today completed prep
aration Of subpoenas for scores of
witnesses to be questioned in the
special grand jury investigation of al
legged restraints of trade" by the
American Medical Association and the
District Medical Society.
Several of these. subpoenas, it was
learned, were to be sent out for serv-
ice today and others will go out to-
morrow, in readiness for the start of
the grand jury proceedings next Mon
day.
Some time will be required to i'm
panel the extra grand jury Monday,
so that it is probable the parade of
witnesses will not begin until late
Monday afternoon or Tuesday.
officials have felt no need for undue
haste in getting out the subpoenas, it
was said, because most of the witnesses
to be heard during the first few days of
the inquiry will appear voluntarily,
without necessity of formal sum-
mons.
Physicians Ask to Appear.
Included in this voluntary group,
1t was expected, would be representa-
tives of Group Health Association, Inc,
or whose complaint the proceedings
were instituted by Attorney General
Cummings.
A number of physicians not con-
nected with Group Health Association,
1t was learned reliably today, also
have requested permission to testify
for the Government 1t was indi-
Gated these requests would be granted.
Rumors that the administration was
backing down in its prosecution of
organized medicine" under the Sher-
man Antitrust Act were denied to-
day at the White House and at the
Department of Justice. President
Roosevelt told newspaper men he
knew of no change in the situation
and there was no let-up apparent on
the part of aides to Assistant Attorney
General Thurman Arnold, in charge
Of the action.
Records Examined.
Records of the American Medical
Association in its Chicago headquar-
ters have been examined by Federal
agent and it is likely the Government
will ask that many Of these records be
brought here for perusal of the grand
jury.
The grand jury will meet in rooms
Set aside for the inquiry in the new
Police Court Building The evidence
will be presented by Allan Hart and
John Levin, special assistants to the
attorney General. They have been
given the use of an Office near the
grand jury room, as the hearing is
expected to run for three weeks or
more. Approximately 100 witnesses
are due to be called.
Mr.. Cummings recently likened the
Department of Justice role in the in
quiry to that of referee in a football
game. The referee, he pointed out, is
mot for or against either team" but

to impose 15-yard penalty for hold

BY w. H. sHIPPEN, Jr.

Is the heat" on in Washington?
Plenty of crooks, especially profess
sionals, think not.
Many burglars Of experience, rob-
bers, pickpockets and such, come to the
Capital because the grapevine says
that If they get caught, they won't find
it hard to delay trial.
United States Attorney David A.
Pine has been able to disillusion some
Of these visitors, but not all of them
by any means. Criminal Court rules
are antiquated. dockets are crowded,
and the Districts prosecutors often
must turn from purely local duties to
the defense of Federal Government
agencies against suits originating in all
parts of the country.
This type of suit has increased
greatly with the establishment OF New
Deal agencies. There are suits to de-
clare acts Of Congress unconstitutional,
suits against the Secretary of War in
connection with rivers and harbors
projects, suits to require the r. F. c.
to make loan, the Secretary of Labor
to admit an alien, the Secretary of
State to issue a passport.
Increased Staff Advocated.
All this means long hours and much
night work for Mr.. Pine and his staff.
Many leading trial lawyers are con-
vinced that the staff is "overworked
and undermanned," and should be
increased to meet the new volume Of
business. In spite of dificulties, how
ever. the criminal docket probably viii
be brought up to date by the first OF
the new year.
Meanwhile, delay in trial, as Mr..
Pine pointed out in recent address
to Washington business men, gives a
guilty defendant an opportunity to
frame an alibi, to intimidate witnesses,
and to attempt to bring influence to
bear on all those charged with law en-
forcement.
I'm addition" Mr.. Pine said, after
long delays. witnesses honestly forget
or disappear, or they revolt against
the waste of time involved in appear
ing again and again in the courtroom,
only to hear that the trial has been
postponed. They are apt to become
indifferent, hostile or belligerent."
Acts to Spare Witnesses.
Mr.. Rine said his Office is doing
everything possible to cut down the re-
peated attendance at court Of wit
nesses. He pointed out that those who
testify at preliminary hearings in Po-
lice Court are taken directly before
the grand jury whenever possible. Fur
ther MIR. Pine continued, I'VE are do
ing our best to resist motions for con-
tinuance when cases are set for trial
unless there are good and sufficient
reasons for them"
On the other hand, Mr.. Pine said,

of time on the part of the witness watt

they become apparent. Early treat
ment will prevent or retard further de-
cay and its disastrous results. Periodic
examinations and care by the family
dentist are vital to the future health
and well being of the child.
People are so accustomed to expect
the oral cavity to serve them long and
faithfully that they become prone to
minimize its importance in maintain
ing health. Only through proper edu-
cational measures, systematic, periodic
examinations and early and continu-
Gus dental treatment can. the most
prevalent disease Of ciyilization-tooth

A successful housing program bene-
fitting all persons ill-housed requires
open subsidization by the Govern
ment, Charles P. Taft, member Of the
Cincinnati City Council, told the dele
gates at dinner last night.
Mr.. Taft drew attention to the
newly opened Public Works Admin
istration housing project in Cincin-
natl, Laurel Homes, where the Federal
subsidy is about s2lo an apartment
year, and the municipal subsidy is
sol a year. Then he said:
England, in the last Is years, 1919
to 1884, spent from the national treas
ury $65 per apartment for public and
subsidized housing The municipali-
ties spent about half that 1t will cost
us more than England, but $210 per
apartment per year for the Federal
Government and $s1 for the munich
palities is too high. American ingenu-
ity and mass production, even with
high wages, can bring 1t down."
illustrates "Hidden Subsidy"
Mr.. Taft illustrated how the tax
payers now can pay hidden subsidy
on mediocre housing without realizing
it. He said:
I'VE have in Cincinnati an assistant
city solicitor, who handles the city's
real estate business and Is one Of the
best real estate men in town. He took
a typical block in our basin area con-
tanning acres. It is not sample of
our bad slums by any means.
THE taxes levied against the block
last year were $4,000. The delinquent
taxes on the block last January were
$4,000. OF the taxes supposed to be
received in year the city would get
approximately $1,700. Obviously it is
not getting that much. If you include
the other taxes which come to the city,
the sales tax, the Intangible tax, the
gasoline tax, from the 600 people in
that block, while one must guess a
little, it cannot be over $1,000 a year.

Only when the Kaiser's govern ment in 1905 demanded and ob-
 tained the resignation of Delcasse the French Foreign Minister, has German diplomatic power been SO spectacularly displayed before an awed Europe.
 The deep aim of German for eign policy for many years has been to divide Europe-to create a situation in which the Reich can safely expand eastward, by persuasion or by force, and be sure that England, and so France, will remain neutral Where Will helm and his ministers failed, Hitler may be more successful. Certainly Chamberlain's policy justifies the fear that he will be.
 The whole shape of European politics is changed in an instant, requiring the deanocracies to re- adjust their policies profoundly "a readjustment the British ap- parently are not nimble enough to make. But the change we have seen unfolding in this kal- eidoscopic fortnight is simply in the nature of profit-taking- af- ter long period of investment by Hitler's Reich in the instru- ments of Weltpolitik.
