JOHNSON SEES
LOWER WAGES.
CHILD LABOR
Court Action, Along
With Coughlin And
Long, Will ‘Raise
Hell’ He Says
NEW YORK, May 28.-OP)—Gen
eral Hugh 8. Johnson predicted
Tuesday that a return of sweat
shops and child labor was “entire
ly likely" because of the supreme
court’s overthrow of NRA codes.
“Many concerns will cut wages
Tuesday,” said the former NRA ad
ministrator. “I don’t know that
the decision will result in the loss
of all the benefits of the NRA. but
there is nothing to prevent it.”
After studying the court’s opin
ion until early Tuesday morning,
Johnson asserted there was no
thing to prevent a general move to
abandon hour, wage and other
standards set up in the codes. He
warned that such action might re
sult in a “serious situation."
The decision, he declared, added
enough fuel to the feelings arous
ed by “Long. Coughlin. Townsend
and others like them to Just raise
hell.* He predicted it would have
far-reaching effects on other new
deal legislation.
“It may knock out the Wagner
bill and the Connery 30-hour bill.”
he said, “and probably knocks the
AAA out except for benefit pay
ments.”
Asked what he thought should
be done. Johnson said one solution
would be to write into the law a
complete code for every Industry.
This, he said, was impossible at
the time the NRA was originated,
but could be done now because of
the experience gained under the
NRA
This move, he explained, would
meet the court’s objection to the
delegation of power by congress to
the president to determine stand
ards of "fair trade.”
While deploring the effects of
the decision. Johnson said he was
not surprised by it.
“Under the facts and circums
tances presented.” he stated,
“the supreme court could not have
decided the case in any other
way.”
He said “it was the worst pos
sible” case that could have been
chosen for a test and that the ar
guments presented by NRA atti V
neys did not express the “philo
sophy of the act" as he understood
It.

France Boosts Duty
On Citrus Imports
(Special to The Hernia.
HARLINGEN. Mav 28— France
has increased her duties on grape
fruit and oranges from 85 cents a
box to $2.40 and established def
inite quotas for both fruits, it was
learned in the Valley Monday.
It is believed, however, that the
300 per cent increase, coming as It
does shortly in advance of the time
i for the foreign trade conferences,
means that France will use it to
obtain certain duty concessions
from the United States.
The conferences will be held for
the purpose of stimulating more
active trade relations and each
country probably will make some
.■»rt concessions in the matter of
duties bv means of w’hich the rate
on grapefruit and oranges probably
will be reduced.

Industry, there was no Immediate
hint as to what the administration
may do as a result of the unanim
ous supreme court decision scrap
ping NRA.
Bewildering Maze
Speculation ranged through a
bewildering maze. Tentatively and
without assurance, men on Capitol
hill and in the administration apr
peared to be canvassing the ad
visability of resorting to one or
more of these steps:
!. A drive for new legislation,
perhaps applying the principles of
minimum wages, maximum hours,
collective bargaining and the ban
on child labor to purely interstate
commerce. This might stretch the
session of congress into August or
beyond.
2. An attempt to get states to
pass supplementary laws, applying
the principles to intrastate business.
3. An effort to amend the Con
stitution to make NRA principles
legal. This, most observers felt,
would be a comparatively long
term matter, plunging the whole
NRA controversy into the 1936 cam
paign.
4. An attempt to obtain legisla
tion enforcing some NRA principles
by means of the government’s tax
ing power.
5. An Invitation to Industry to
join in voluntary agreements with
the government to ol#?rve certain
practices.
6. A move to get congress to
declare an emergency, with a grant
of temporary authority to the pres
iaent to govern Industry anU labor
iclations during an Interim adjust
ment. This, like all the other sug
gestions, was only mentioned
tentatively, and there was no sign
that the president had decided on
any definite steps.
While observers speculated on the
possibility that President Roosevelt
might make a radio address to the
nation soon, the question of what
industry will do now that NRA is
virtually Just another scrap of pa
per was uppermost.
Appeals to BaunM
That the New Deal is giving
thought to it was shown in the
statement Richberg Issued Monday
night after conferring with Presi
dent Roosevelt, Attorney General
Cummings and Solicitor General
Stanley Reed on the court's deci
sion, which was handed down in
the A. L. A. Schechter live poultry
case.
“It would be most harmful to
the general welfare.” said the NRA
head, "if unfair competitive prac
tices, universally recognized as such,
were to be revived, and If the fair
standards affecting labor were to
be disregarded.
"Therefore, pending the determi
nation of this question (of what
shall be done*. I hope that all em
ployers heretofore operating under
approved codes and all their em
ployes will cooperate in maintain
ing those standards of fair com
petition in commercial and labor
relations which have been written
into the codes with practically uni
versal sanction, and which repre
sent a united effort to eliminate
dishonest, fraudulent trade prac
tices and unfair competition in over
working and under-paying labor."
He said the decision "makes all
code# of fair competition unenfor
ceable as a matter of law; and In
deference to that ruling all methods
of compulsory enforcement of the
cores will be immediately suspend*
ed.”
Leaders of the united textile
workers said immediate strikes
v.ould result if code wages and
hours were scrapped, while manage
ment and labor in the soft coal
industry looked to a drive for spe
cial regulatory legislation to avert
a general strike call that has been
threatening for some time. President
William Green of the American
Federation of Labor called his lead
ers to a oonferenoi Tuesday.
Industrial leaders gave no in
dication that any immediate move
would be made to modify labor or
lair practice conditions. For instance
Alvan MaCauley. president of the
Automobile Manufacturers associa
tion. expressed the belief the court
ruling would not bring any ma
terial change in his industry.
‘In Black Con fusion
Hugh Johnson, the man who led
m NRA's first gigantic drive, pic
tured the New Deal as in black
confusion at this moment'* but In
sisted the principles could be writ
ten into a new law.
But any effort to do that had to
reckon with such deadly enemies
of the Blue Eagle as Senator Borah
<R-Ida) who said “the constitution
has been saved” and Senator King
(D-Utah), who uttered a fervent
thank God for the supreme court."
Although the high courts deci
sion apparently virtually abolished
lederal regulation of the liquor bus
iness. an appeal was made to dis
tillers for continued compliance
with major code provisions pending
legal studies.
Administration leaders moved to
revamp the AAA amendments pend
ing in congress, in an effort to save
another of the New Deal units
from NRA's fate. Several AAA codes
which, like the federal alcohol con
trol administration, derive their
legal sanction from NTRA. seemed
on first impression to have suffered
a body blow.
While observers watched in the
expectation that Attorney General
Cummings would move to quash 400
NRA cases pending in various
courts. Senator Black (D-Ala) de
clared that the solution to the
problem confronting the New Deal
was to adopt his compulsory 30
hour week law
Chairman Walsh fD-Masst of
the senate labor committee believed
that the Wagner labor relations
bill, now going through congress
with the blessing of the adminis
tration. would have to be narrowed
drastically to purely interstate bus
iness. This would reduce Its field
of operations to a mere fraction of
w hat its author. Senator Wagner

FEAR FOR JOBS
4,500 Workert Fear Will
Be Thrown Out Among
Unemployed
WASHINGTON. Mav 28 —ifi*—
NRA’s 4.500 employes forced them
selves to smile Tuesday, but Inside
their heads this question thudded:
• How about my job?”
No one in authority seemed to
know whether there would be a
general demobilization. Everyone
was talking about it.
The exhuberance that shot the
Blue Eagle on its flight, almost two
years ago was gone—dead as NRA’s
codes, or that dodo Oeneral John
son mentioned
For weeks there had been un
certainty over NRA’s future., un
certainty largely over congressional
action. The supreme court’s blast
was as startling as an exploding
shell in this government bureau.
Up to Monday, one couldn’t get
a dyed-in-the-wool NRA worker to
admit even the possibility that the
high court ruling might be adverse.
The Blue Eagles wings might be
clipped, its enthusiasts said, but n
could not be killed.
But there were ‘ wakes” Monday
night And headaches Tuesday.
Pretty girl stenographers found
excuses to leave their desks, to as
semble at water coolers in pairs or
foursomes to ‘’talk it over."
Like small boys whistling their
way past a graveyard, some tried
to wisecrack. Some expressed a be
lief born of hope that new legis
lation would repair the damage
Others were frankly worried.
One had left a newspaper job re
cently. “At the time I thought it
was a smart move.’ he smiled wry
ly. “I’m not so sure now.”

AAA PROPOSALS
TO BE REVISED
....
Leaders Fear High Court
Will Continue On Its
Killing Spree
WASHINGTON. May 28.—(AV-'
Some leaders of the administration
forces on Capitol hill indicated
Tuesday that the proposed AAA
amendments conferring broad li
censing powers on Secretary Wal
lace would be rewritten in an at
tempt to save them from the same
supreme court scythe that mowed
NRA down.
Though Senator Robinson, ma
jority leader, said he couldn’t see
where the NRA decision affected
AAA. Chairman Smith (D-SC> of
the senate agriculture committee
declared it was evident a decided
re-writing of the licensing provi
sions was necessary.
One section of the present bill
would permit handlers on proces
sors of 50 per cent or more of any
farm commodity to come to a vol
untary marketing agreement under
which the secretary could Issue
licenses With that majority agreed,
the minority handlers could be
compelled to accept the license*.
Another provision would give ths
secretary authority to Impose li
censes upon handlers of certain
commodities—milk and its products,
tobacco, sugar beets, wool, mohair,
fruits and vegetables—in event two
thirds of the growers of these prod
ucts asked it. and the president
approved.
Chairman Jones (D-Trx > of the
house agriculture committee, made
a quick decision not to bring the
till out before the house pending
a study. Sitting in the senate press
gallery where he went to read the
court's decision. Jones said it “vital
ly affects’* the licensing and mar-1
keting provisions. He planned to
call his committee soon to study
revisions.

PROTECT YOUR LIFE
AND THE LIVES OF OTHERS!
iilERE are three questions you should ask yourself about the tires you buys
1—"Will the non-skid tread give me the greatest
traction and protection against skidding?"
t—"Are they built to give me the greatest
blowout protection?"
S—"Without sacrificing these two important
safety features will they give me longer
mileage, thus making them the most
economical tires I can buy?"
Answer No. 1—llar^ey S. Firestone early realized
the value of tire traction and safety and va» the first to
design an All Kuliber Non-Skid Tire. Through the years
Firestone has led the way in the design and development
of tires with most effective non-skid treads.
Firestone does not depend solely on traction and
non-skid tests made by its own engineers—it employs a
leading University to make impartial tests for non-skid
efficiency of its tires, and their most recent report shows
that Firestone High Speed Tires stop the car 15%
quicker than the best of all popular makes of tires.
Answer No. 8—Blowout protection must Ik* built
into a tire. Friction and hoot within the tire is the greatest
cause of blowouts. Firestone protects its tires from
friction and heat by a patented process which soaks
every cord and insulates ever)’ strand with pure liquid
rubber. This is an additional process known as
Cum-I)ipping, by which every 100 pounds of cotton cords
absorb eight pounds of rubber. This extra process c«»*H
more and is not used in any other make of tire.
Leading race drivers investigate the inbuilt qualities
of the tires they use, because their very lives depend
upon their tires, and they always select Firestone Tires
for their daring speed runs. In fact, Firestone Tires have h
been on the winning cars in the gruelling Indianapolis
500-mile race for fifteen consecutive years, and they were
on the 5,000-pound car that Ah Jenkins drove 3,000
miles in 23 hours on the hot salt t»eds at Lake
Bonneville, l tuh, at an average speed of 127.2 miles per
hour, without tire trouble of any kind. These amazing
performance records are proof of the greatest blowout
protection ever known.
Answer No. 3—Thousands of car owners reporting
mileage records of 40,000 to 75.000 miles, is proof of
the long mileage and greater economy by equipping with
Firestone High Speed Tires. Let these unequaled
performance records be your buying guide.
Co to the Firestone Auto Supply and Service Store
or Firestone Tire Dealer and let him equip your car with
Firestone Tires, the safest and most economical tires built.
