JERSEY GUARDS
FIJI Turns Down Plea
For Protection
BY CARROLL PEEKE

Representative Jerry O'Connell
CD of Montana, who insists tina
despite threats Of violence he
will speak tonight in Jersey City
exposing the Hague machine
today planned an appeal to At
toreny General Cummings fol
protection.
Following refusal of the Fedora
Bureau of Investigation to pro
vide guards for O'Connell and fol
Representative John j. Bernard
(F-L.) of Minnesota, who aisC
will attempt to speak tonight
O'Connell placed the matter di
rectly in the lap of the Attorney
General. He said:
GOING REGARDLESS
Yesterday, I appealed to the
FBI for protection. Last night
some one from the department
called me up and said my re-
quest had embarrassed them
terribly
Whoever it was who called
said that the FBI is an investi-
eating and not a protective
organization.
However, I am going to the
Attorney General today and
point out to him that last week
Norman Thomas was kidnapped
when he attempted to speak in
Jersey City, and there is a
strong possibility that attempts
will be made to kidnap US.
Nov the FBI takes charge Of
all kidnapping cases. So 1 am
going to demand again that the
Attorney General order that we
be given protection, in view of
the fact that there is a strong
chance the Federal kidnapping
law will again be violated.
But whether we are fur
nished protection or not, we are
going to Jersey City tonight,
and we are going to try to
speak. These threats of vio-
lence do not brighten us in the
least"
O'Connell and Bernard will
leave here this afternoon, and will
be met in New York by the Hud
son County Committee for De
tense Of Civil Liberties, and escor
ted to Jersey City, where they will
attempt to speak in Journa
Square.
"STILL PART OF u. S."
Daniel Casey, commissioner o:
public safety, declared that thu
police department will not per
nit the Congressman and the1l
imported reds to infringe on tn:
rights of the citizens"
The Catholic War Veterans have
also asserted that they will have
800 members armed with rubber
hose in Journal Square to proven
the Congressman from speaking.
Assailjng the action of Jerse!
authorities, Bernard said:
Although they seem to have
lost sight of all the democratic
principles on which our country
was founded, Jersey is still part
of the United States.
st am all the more determined
to go there tonight, and will do
my best to speak in defense Of
the rights Of citizens, which
have been denied them under
the Hague Dictatorship"

BATTLE.
ON WAGE BILL.
SEEN AS FUTILE.
Bloc Expects Victory
Over 'FiIibuster'
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL

1.N.S.) The nation today ap.
peared to be facing new and far
reaching economic experiment
fixing of national minimum wages
and maximum hours by Congress.
House passage of the Admins
tration-approved Norton wage
hours bill for interstate industries
was said by leaders to be certain
as result of the record-breaking
signing of a petition by 218 mem
bers.
While a Senate filibuster is
possible, wagehours hackers con-
tended sentiment in that body Is
so overwhelming that cloture can
be enforced to bring the issue to
a vote.
ENACTMENT SEEN
Even though the measure might
fail in a rush for adjournment,
the change of sentiment in the
House was so pronounced that
eventual enactment of the legisla-
ton was generally considered q
certainty.
A New Deal-Labor coalition,
with Republican aid, brought a
smashing victory to the wage
hours bloc" yesterday when the
petition to discharge the Rules
Committee and call the Norton bill
to the floor was completed in
little more than two hours.
Even bitter opponents Of the
legislation conceded it will pass
after Chairman Mary T. Norton
CD of New Jersey makes the
formal motion to bring the meas
ure into the House.
PREFERENCE POSSIBLE
Mrs. Norton, who led the battle
to force a vote in spite of Rules
Committee opposition, can make
her motion on May %. It is
possible that the date of considera-
ton may be advanced by Rules
Committee reconsideration and
granting of preferred status for
the bill.
While the Senate passed the
Black Connery bill last year giving
a board wide power to fix mini
mum wages and maximum hours,
the House recommitted the bill
in a bitter fight in the special
session.
The new measure, designed to
overcome objections of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, provides
for a 25-cent minimum wage i'm
mediately, rising to 40 cents after
three years. 1t provides a 44-hour
week, which would be lowered to
40 hours after two years.
With the A. F. of L. now join
ing with the CLIO in supporting
the Norton bill, the "wage-hours
bloc" is expected to stand fast to
beat off all weakening amend

BUSINESS INCREASE
HERE NOW APPARENT
Survey Shows Mills and
Factories Recalling
Employees

Business in Hagerstown is
again on the upswing, according
to survey made this week.
Mills and factories are report
ing that there has been a defin-
tie increase in business, and, in
several instances, comparatively
large orders have been received
locally.
Business men, who several
weeks ago, were somewhat pessi-
mistic regarding the future, are
now optimistic and predict that
within four weeks the wheels of
industry will be humming again.
Furloughed workers are being re-
called and in several of the fac
tories where employees have been
on part-time, the hours have been
increased.
The recall of thousands of
workers by the automobile manu-
facturers apparently was the sig
nal for business, in general, to go
ahead. Several days following
the automobile industry's notice,
the steel companies issued a call
back to work and gradually many
thousands of workers will be re.
employed. Should the railroads
be granted an increase in freight
rates, the country will also see
thousands of shopmen returning
to their former jobs.
With the automobile and steel
industries stepping ahead, smaller
businesses throughout the country
should follow suit within a few
weeks. Manufacturing plants in
Hagerstown, it is predicted, will
get their share of the business.
due to it's diversified industries.

HANGOVERS
BY LITTLE HEIskELL

For the past week I've been
hearing a heap about the advis-
ability of installing fire horn
on the Western Enterprise Fire
Company building in the West
End. Some of the residents of
that community object to the
noise made by said horn; the
firemen claim the old bell has
gone hay-wire and that the new
horn is a necessity, that it
doesn't awake the dead as
claimed.
The Hagerstown globe. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1936-1943, 1938-01-14

My first suggestion would be
to silence all bells on the
Western Enterprise Hall, and,
instead place high-powered
electric fans on the City Hall
tower, east of Big Six. When
an alarm registers, the desk
clerk in police headquarters
would turn the switch on the
electric fans and the sound of
Big Ben would be carried over
the entire western section of
the city.
The Hagerstown globe. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1936-1943, 1938-01-14

ON top of all this a citizen
comes forth with the suggestion
that in order to please both the
citizens and the firemen, that
another type of horn be tried,
this particular type of horn to
send out a Soothing alarm in
stead of the unadulterated and
harsh "honk, honk, honk." And
while suggestions are in order
