REBUKE AT PROBE N. R. A. Session Outbreak Brings Threat to Call Police for Order. BJ the Associated Press. A sudden burst of applause from spectators while Senate Finance Com mittee members clashed over ques tioning of Sidney Hillman In the N. R. A. investigation today, brought demands for police to enforce order. Hillman, a member of the Recovery Board and head of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers, was testifying in favor of an extension of N. R. A. The applause broke out when Sen ator Costlgan, Democrat, of Colorado, protested that Hillman was not on trial and should be permitted to answer questions In his own way. Senators King, Democrat, of Utah, and Walsh, Democrat, of Massa chusetts, had protested that Hillman was not answering the questions. As hand-clapping swept the crowded chamber. Senator Hastings, Republi can. of Delaware warned the specta tors they were guests of the commit tee and suggested police should be called to compel quiet. Alien Birth Brought Out. Hillman's defense of N. R. A. pre viously had been interrupted by com mittee questions about his Russian origin. He was presenting a mass of statistics intended to show the im provement of labor conditions under the Blue Eagle when King broke in to read a portion of the clothing workers’ constitution advocating con trol of Industry by labor. Hillman replied that had been dropped from the constitution of the organization 10 or 15 years ago. “You put It in after you came from Russia?” King asked. “Of course.” Hillman replied. “I was born in Russia.’’ Questioned by King, the bespectacled labor leader said he came from Russia in 1906, had been naturalized for 20 years and had visited Russia three times since the war. Walsh and King reprimanded HUl ! man for making speeches Instead of 1 answering questions. Hillman protested he was answer ing the questions. "This Is sot a court trial,” Oostlgan interjected. "I hope the witness will be permitted to answer the questions in his own way.” This brought the applause from the crowd filling the big committee room which stopped the hearing for a mo ment. Spectators Reprimanded. Hastings then reprimanded the spectators: “I wonder If the audience appreci ates.” he said, “that it is here at the courtesy of the committee. I don’t see why we must be interrupted by that sort of a demonstration." Hastings added that if there was a repetition of the incident Capitol police would be called to maintain order. Continuing after this Interruption, Hillman said production in December was 63 per cent of 1929 levels, ss com pared with 48 per cent two years earlier. Pay rolls, he said, In the same time, went up from 38 per cent of 1929 levels to 57 per cent. “I don’t believe any one can explain that away by natural causes,” he said. Wages in the clothing industry. Hillman said, had slumped until “purchasing power was reduced to a * degree that there was nothing else to look forward to but a complete paralysis of Industry.” He testified the 36-hour week In the cotton garment industry bad added 20,000 workers In the last two months, saying employment was 147,000 In February, or 11 per cent more than a year before. Fears Trade Relapse. Failure to extend N. R. A., Hillman said, would bring a reduction In wages and employment. He contended an Omaha trucking company already had served notice of a 10 per cent wage cut on the be lief N. R. A. was not to be extended. Testifying yesterday after Clarence! Darrow had put the whole New Deal on trial before he nnlshed assailing N. R. A., Hillman told the committee abolition of the recovery organization would be followed by an “unemploy ment situation worse than in 1932-33." Hillman, almost stern In mien, asked that the recovery law be strengthened, rather than weakened. When New Deal policies were Inaugurated, he said, the country was “drifting to a complete stagnation of Industry." “I would hate to think what would have happened If the new administra tion had not come In with its new policies,” he added.
