Claims Hines
Got Big Part
Racket Money

New York, Aug. 19.-(AP)-Joseph
Ison, AZ, West Indian Negro and
one-time Harlem policy game opera
tor, testified in Supreme Court today
at the conspiracy trial of James ].
Hines, Tammany district leader, that
money he and other bankers had to
turn over to the Dutch Schultz mob
was going to Jimmy Hines club"
Ison said Hines got $125 a week
from the multi-million-dollar policy
racket for political protection. The
witness said arrests for policy viola
tions dropped so percent late in 1882,
and early in 1888 period shortly
after Hines, according to District At
torney Thomas Dewey's accusations
entered into a conspiracy with Dutch
Schultz to "put the fix" as "fees" for
lawyers and bondsmen.
II was puzzled at first what the
figures meant" he said. He said he
talked it over with George Weinberg
and Richard Davis, and that one of
them told him, "The money is going
to Jimmy Hines club"
Earlier, with one of Dewey's aides
accused TO brow-beating and coercing
witness, the district attorney called
Edward Grant, grand jury steno-
grapher, to testify.

Most Industry
In This State
Not Affected
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In The Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Aug. 19.-The average
North Carolina industry will not be
greatly affected by the Federal wage
hour bill, either as to working time
or pay, if July statistics on the en-
ployment and payrolls of the State
are true index.
Of course, the figures in the re-
port, compiled each month by the
State Department of Labor, show cav
erages" and not Individual variations
in hours and pay, and so there is no
way to tell from them how many, if
any. North Carolina plants will be af-
fected by the 44-hour work week and
the % or perhaps 80 cents minimum
wage set by the Federal wage-hour
administrator, who has just taken Of
sice.
Compared with the 1925 figures,
however. only non-manufacturing and
wholesale trade establishments ex-
ceeded either, on the average, in July.
In the non-manufacturing industries
North Carolina workers averaged 1852
hours work per week in July, above
the wage-hours permissible figure,
while in wholesale trade establish
ments the average work week was
45.6. In both the average hourly wage
was above the wage-hOur minimum.

Kingston, Ontario, yesterday
The President arrived here this
morning for an indefinite stay. Talk
ing with reporters from his open car
at the Hyde Park station, he appeared
rested and happy after his strenuous
trip through Ontario yesterday
In his Kingston speech, the Presi-
cent asserted Americans would not
stand "idly by" if domination of Ca
madam soil were threatened by for
eign aggressor. Newsmen at his in.
formal press conference informed Mr.
Roosevelt of reports that the State
Department in Washington interpret
ed his speech as an extension of the
Monroe Doctrine.
The chief executive suggested his
questioners read the original language
of the Monroe Doctrine. He called
attention to the fact he had not said
anything about Latin-America in his
Kingston talk.
Questioned regarding an address
by Representative John O'Connor las.
night, Mr.. Roosevelt said he merely
had seen the headlines on it. O'Connor
whom the President criticized sharp
ly in a statement this week, asserted
Mr. Roosevelt's intervention in party
primaries lis an escalator to a dicta-

the unexp aimed arrest of Captain
Thomas .Kendrick, British passport
officer in Vienna, by German secret
police at the German-Swiss border.
On instructions from the London

inquiry would be made. However, no
further reply has been received from
Berlin. The ambassadors earlier re-

papers, But he sold good hot dogs.
He put up advertising signs. He stood

He had to increase his meat and bun
order. He had to buy bigger stove
to take care of his trade. He finally
got his son home from college to help

But then something happened. His
