Decision Clarifies
Waqe-Hour, ice Duties

WASHINGTON - The supreme
court Monday ruled. in to 4
decision, that the wage-hour adj
ministration, not the interstate
commerce commission, has regula-
tory Jurisdiction over the hours of
work of 100000 incorporating en-
ployes OF truck and bus companies.
The decision settled a contro-
versy in which truck operators
sought TO compel the ice TO accept
responsibility for such regulation.
The ICC contended that the work
belonged to the wage and hour
division of the labor department,
and wage-hour officials agreed
with the ICC.
The controversy arose from the
portion of the wage-hour law
which exempts from maximum
hour and overtime provisions
those employees who are under ice
jurisdiction. The federal motor
carrier act gives the commission
authority over qualifications and
maximum hours of employees, but
the commission has interpreted
that as including only persons
whose duties affect safety of
motor vehicle operations.

Candidates Views
On Communist Ban
Demanded by Dies
Declares Roosevelt and
WiIlkie Should Issue
UnequivocoI Statement
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 10
Representative Dies of Texas, here
to continue hearings of his House
Committee on Un-American Ac-
tivities. said today he believed Prssi-
dent Roosevelt and Wendell l..
Willkie should state "unequivocally
whether they favor outlawing the
Communist party. the German
American Bund and other organiza-
tions linked directly to foreign gov
ernments"
He told interviewers he would
spend the next few weeks on q
national speaking tour of more than
100 appearances 'in which I am
going to ask the American people
to require both parties and cam
didates to define their stand on the
fifth column activity"
II believe the American people
want to know no wtheir candidates
stand" said Mr.. Dies. It want the
candidates to say whether they
are against the activities and
propaganda OF agents of totalitarian
governments in the United States:
and to state whether they will favor
laws to outlaw the Communist
party, the German American Bund
and other organizations linked
directly to foreign governments"
"Not a Matter Of Politics"
This is not a matter of politics,
since both parties will be asked to
give their definite answer" he added.
Mr.. Dies asserted there were CTS
Germans and other foreign spies"
In the San Francisco area, some OF
them in strategic industries and
positions.
The Texan said he expected Film
Actor James Cagney and possibly
Actor Franchot Tone, who were
described as Communist sympa-
thizers by John L. Leech, former Los
Angeles County organizer, in testi-
mony before the Los Angeles County
grand jury, to appear before the
committee here to answer the accu-
sations.
Mr.. Cagney's brother and business
manager, William Cagney, denied
the actor ever had been a Commu-
mist.
Mr.. Cagney, the Representative
said, probably will fly here from
the East Tuesday.
Mr.. Dies said the committees
concern in this area primarily was
with the hold the Communists
have on shipping interests through
the control of unions by insinuating
members into union leadership"
More Funds to Be Sought.
1--WE are particularly interested
because shipping is vital to our
program of national defense" he
declared, "and we are interested
also for the sake of the rank and
file of union members, who are
loyal Americans but subject to the
dictates of leaders controlled by
Moscow"
He said a comprehensive West
Coast investigation would require
so days and $4,000 more for ex-
penses, for which he planned to
ask Congress.
For such an inquiry, he said, I'VE
would subpoena and hear from 200

Thursday, September 26, 1910

Citing the part the White COM
mittee played in the tansfer Of fifty
average destroyers to Britain, Mr..
Hart suggested that there is rea-
son to fear that Britain's rather
than Americas need determined the
matter" He also suggested that
Admiral Harold r. Stark, Chief Of
Nava Operations, who at first OPP
posed the transfer of the Destroy
ers, had been forced to change his
stand and issue a certificate ap-
proving their sale.
Mr.. Hart said that the White
committee had persuaded 2,500,000
persons to urge the government to
sell the destroyers to Britain, and
that the committee now was urg-
ing it's members to advocate the
sale to Britain of twenty-five of
the Army's >fifty-three flying fort
resses, the largest Army bombers
in use, as well as several torpedo
boats.
Mr.. Hart said that perhaps the
same STRONG force" which sent
France and Britain to war despite
their unpreparedness lis urging our
own administration on. Blinded by
fury at the prosecutions of minor
tiles in Germany, this force would
be as willing to engulf us in this,
which bids fair to be the worst
war of all times, as it was willing
to engulf Britain and France a
year ago."

unately most Of our channels Of
publicity are controlled by influ-
ences that are more concerned over
what is going on in Europe than
what Is happening in America.
Some day the American people
are going to become thoroughly
aroused and when that time comes
this un-American element Is going
to be driven out of the country.
In this connection I would like
to quote from a speech delivered
by Merwin X. Hart, President of
the New York State Economic
Council, before the Union League
Club last Thursday afternoon,
wherein he deserted the excitement
among Americans which, he said
made them label as "appeaser,"
"pro-Nazi" or Fifth Columnist"
anyone daring to stress the inter-
ests of the United States above
those of other countries. Smear
ing has become the popular amuse-
ment of the day, but in my opin-
ion propaganda to involve us in
in the war has gone too far"
Mr.. Hart paid particular atten-
ton to the vehement campaign of
propaganda of the Committee to
Defend America by Aiding the AL
lies, headed by William Allen
White.
Although Mr.. Hart conceded
that public opinion in America is
almost unanimous in wanting Brit
ain to win, he cautioned: "Now is
the very time to keep our feet on
the ground. 1t would be unwise in
the extreme for us not to realize
that Britain is using every kind
of propaganda to get us involved
If we become involved, it will be
the certain end of the American
republic"
