Fight on
Trusts

CLEVELAND, Jan. IL TN.S0
With a sweeping reduction in
tariffs as its keystone, a program
for rejuvenation of the Republican
party was left here today by Col
Frank Knox, vice presidential
nominee in 1896.
The Chicago publisher called
upon the COP to:
"Once again become the party
Of the plain folk Of America, the
sort of people who gave it life rs
years ago and the same sort Of
people who have kept it in power
most of the time"
MAYOR HONORED
Speaking over a nationwide
radio hookup at dinner in honor
of Mayor Harold H. Burton, he
delivered what he termed a "de
liberately provocative" speech.
Assailing "monopoliStic tariffs,
Colonel Knox declared he had nc
intention of straying from the Re
publican party's principles o.
protective tariffs" but said:
"The fiction of infant indus
try which must be protected
from mature and competent for
eign manufacturers is outworn
it Is farcical."
Tariffs, he said, should be con
fined to protecting the American
standard of wages and the worke
against cheap competition from
abroad.
RAPS MONOPOLY
ION the other hand" he as
serted, I'VE must speak in un-
mistakable terms to those in
dustrieS which, through exceS-
sive tariff schedules, have en-
joyed a monopoly Of domestic
markets and thus inordinately
increased the cost of living"
In addition, he suggested tht
party urge labor union official
be made financially responsible tt
their members, that the costs o
Government be drastically reduced
and that the gold standard be re
sumed. Other points in his pre-
gram included a revision of tn
Social Security Act and the re
peal Of the unemployment inSul
ance program.

GETS
WOMAN'S S241

Dreams Of sudden riches had
turned into a nightmare today
for Rachael Thomas, colored, 26,
Of Tuxedo, Md. She lost $241
in striving to realize her dreams.
The old pocketbook trick was
the medium employed by a trick
Ster in the vicinity of the City
Post Office, North Capitol Street
and Massachusetts, Avenue, in
separating Rachael from her $241
last night.
A colored man approached her
and exhibited the pocketbook.
She eSpied a huge roll of what
appeared to be bills. The man
told her he had just found the
pocketbook, which contain d
maybe $1,000, and would sell her
an interest in it. To show his
good faith, the man said he would
allow her to keep the purse until
the split. Rachael handed over
her $241. The man gave her the
pocketbook.
When he had gone, Rachael
found she had bought a wad Of
paper. The man even took the
bill, which covered the wad- to
make it look like it was all money.

'ELL|OTT is HIT
BY MORGENTHAU

Acting Comptroller General
Richard N. Elliott was pictured
by Secretary of the Treasury
Henry Morgenthau today as a
watchdog swapping at the heels
of Federal officials without au-
thority of law"
"The Comptroller General ap-
pears to have taken too literally
the press references to his posi-
ton as watchdog Of the Treas
ury'," Secretary Morgenthau de-
clared in a 42-page letter ad-
dressed to Senate and House COM
mittees and inserted in the Con-
gressional Record in answer to
Elliott's recent annual report, in
which Treasury accounting prac-
tices were criticized.
In his report, the Acting Comp
troller urged the enactment of
Legislation prohibiting the eX
penditure of Federal funds when
ever there is a substantial failure
in any department to install and
maintain accounting procedures
prescribed by the Comptroller
Generals office.
Vigorously opposing this pro-
poSal, Secretary Morgenthau said:
THE inability of the Acting
Comptroller General to visualize
the implications of his proposal
is, I think, a more serious re-
Election on his capacity to un-
dertake such a responsibility
than any criticism of him which
any one else might voice.
''The effect of the enactment
of this proposal would indeed
be to make a very czar Of the
Comptroller General"

Americas sixty dead or dying
families, but against the live
Southern colonies of his own
party.
Some Of the colonels had
been saying that in private long
before the commander-in-chief
first mentioned sectionalism. In
fact, no less an ardent New
Dealer than Alabama's Senator
Bankhead told a reporter few
days before Mr.. Roosevelt spoke
that "the sectionalism issue Is
the Administration against the
South"
Mr.. Bankhead cited the cur
rent congressional legislative pro.
gram which is: Cd the lynch
ing bill, (2) wages-hours and
(3) the Boileau (you-can't-give-
away-a-fried-egg) amendment to
the farm bill preventing South
ern farmers from getting into
the dairy business.
Note-Mr. r. can hardly be
blamed for No. 3, which was
brought forward by his LaFol-
lette friends independently.
WHAT also smoked them up
W was the Presidents confer.
ence at the White House with
the seven southeastern gov
ernors.
On it's face, it appeared inno-
cent. The governors had ar
ranged to see Mr.. R. at Warm
Springs weeks ago When he
came straight back to Washing
ton from his fishing trip, they
asked to see him in Washington
at this time. They wanted him
to remove discriminatory freight
rates against the South.
All that came out Of their con-
ference, however, was their eau
tiously worded approval of "a"
wage.hour bill, not the Con-
44C4 J'OAdNn NA44s OOU ~ DOAA4AC0
like they had sold their Con-
greSsmen down the river.
In private they have been ex.
planning ever since to the legis-
latorS why they did it. They say
they did not intend to sell out
the South'S demand for a low
wage differential and say the
President is for that, too. At
least one governor told his Con-
gresham the people of the State
approved their vote against the
old wages-hour bill.
Nevertheless, the legislators
have an idea the President went
over their heads.
THE governors also told

AS near as they could make out,
he is grouping for a new code
system. applying only to large
industries like lumber, textiles,
furniture, ETC., but not includ-
ing gold fish, as the NRA did.
His purpose seemed to be to
get at the situation whereby a
Tennessee hosiery mill may pay
25 cents an hour for a 40-hour
week, while an Alabama mill
across the line pays Is to 20
cents for a 40 to As hour week,
thus permitting the Alabama
firm to undersel Tennessee.
They thought the President
was not clear about how he is
going to do it, but this may be
because there are nearly as
many versions of the conference
as there were governors.
A COMPROMISE on the
"A Boileau Amendment has
been hidden in the pocket Of
House Agriculture Leader Mar
vim Jones for weeks. The House
did not know it, but he had the
substitute ready at the time the
House voted on the farm bill. He
decided tension was too high
then. House leaders now pri-
vately admit it would have
wrecked the bill If offered then.
Jones submitted this imprint
ed substitute to the confereeS a
few days back. It was not salts
factory to some, but has been
used as a working basis. It lib
eralizes the compulsion Of the
Boileau language and Substi-
tutes a system like the old out
laWed AAA.
DRESTIGE of Speaker Bank
L head is growing fast. His
political speech at the jackson
Day dinner caused much in
ternal comment. His ringing
appeal for defeat Of the Ludlow
resolution prompted admiration
in the House. You may soon see
Bankhead emerge as an out
standing congressional leader
like the old Speakers-Garner,
Cannon, Longworth.
nESPITE what the peace So
~ cieties say, the Ludlow war
referendum probably got as far
last Monday as it will ever get.
They expect to patch it up with
amendments and crusade for it,
but no patch can cover all OBJ
jections. Out of it's 1873 votes,
about 80 would have opposed
final passage.
In other words, the vote on
passage would probably have
been 100 to 239, and it needs a
two-thirds majority.

 Prospects Cheering
 Generally the large manufac- turers have been filling orders from inventories which were found ex- cessive late last year when business throughout the country went into the most serious slump of the de- pression. These inventories, &C., cording to officials have been pretty well exhausted and the pros- pect is for employment gains as orders warrant larger production schedules.
 Effect of the large naval build- ing program is believed about to be felt in Waterbury and some govern ment work, particularly making machines for the munitions manu- facturers, has occasioned a pickup in employment at local plants. The manufacturers are agreed that the tone of business appears healthier and they find inquiries concerning possible contracts of more substan- tial basis than for some months.

NO PROMOTIONS
 LIKELY TODAY Board to Open Bids on New Ladder Truck at
 Meeting Today

Bids from several fire apparatus companies, for the contract to pro- vide the City of Waterbury with a new ladder truck, will be opened this afternoon at meeting of the board of fire commissioners at 4:3O o'clock. The bids have been re- ceived during the past several weeks but are sealed, and will not be known until after the meeting to- day.
 No promotions are expected to be made today at the meeting of the fire board, and likewise, the police board is not expected to make any promotions at it's meeting at 5 o. clock. Recent deaths have left a captaincy vacant in each depart ment.
 The municipal budget provides an appropriations of $18,000 for the purchase of new fire truck, and 1t is on this appropriation the vari- ous companies are bidding. A con- mittee was appointed at a recent meeting of the board to inspect sev- eral trucks and they will make their report today. One company which generally participated in the bidding on local fire trucks failed to enter a bid on this occasion.
