Monopolies Charged The board's main report charged monopolies existed under virtually all NRA codes, that the system of price-fixing in code agreements was an instrument to gouge the and it accused one deputy admm- istratoi of dishonesty. A supplemental report signed by Darrow and W. W. Neal, a former Darrow law partner, recommended a socialized state with government control of industry as the only hope ol the American people to survive the depression Blistering Reply Trv NRA, from Administrator Hugh Johnson to minor official, issued a blistering reply.

Everybody smiled politely when the order Vent out that the judges could choose between drinking tneir water lukewarm or supplying their own ice It seemed to be one of those things that could be laughed off. However, a Mr Gillman, who has charge of the federal building Chicago, set what we jurists call a precedent by announcing he not only was taking away the judges' ice water, but that he was putting them on a towel budget From now on, each judge gets only one towel a week And a good thing it is, too much dirty linen has been washed in courtrooms already The department 6f commerce already has rallied around the economy banner Anybody down there who double-spaces a typewritten communication is a Benedict Arnold By single spacing all letters it is possible to save something like 356 sheets of paper a week at about one-twentieth a cent per sheet Sort of staggering, eh? There is also considerable pencil stub measuring going on at the department of commerce So long as a pencil stub is an inch and a half long, they have to keep using it Once it gets below that length, it is put away in a box and guarded The theory, presumably is that sometime the department of commerce may hire a midget who can use up all the little pencils One more item regarding the situation and we're through Right now the government is paying a man named Norman Davis about $17,000 a year to go around Euiope and say to fellows like Mussolini, Hitler anc Macdonald, "Let's all have a round of disarmament" Before he can even get an answer the govern ment starts out to build worth of battleships At cunent puces you could buj a lot of ice and lead pencils fo 100,000,000 bucks Convicted Prime Minister To Quit EDMONTON, July 1 --(UP) --Prune Minister John E.

Brownlee's attorneys have asked that the verdict against him be re'- versed on the grounds that Miss MatiMillan "suffered no loss" The court ordered that he pay the girl $10,000 and that he give $5,000 to her father.

obtained Monopolies Aided "2 Codes do not only permit but fostei monopolistic practices and the small enterprise is not only oppressed but in many cases its exit is accelerated from the field of business "3. There seems a sinister purpose to entrench them (evdl conditions) still more securely in the processes of the act, to make still more unquestioned the monopolistic sway of the great interest. "4. If monopolistic business combinations in this country could have everything ordered to their wish they could not order anything better for themselves than to have anti-trust laws susperied, industry put into then' unlimited mastery and the means provided to silence, suppress, eliminate or ignore then complaining small competitors. Price Fixing Criticized "5 So long as men are coerced by institutions or powers in which they have no share in this country, at least they will resent then- servitude, and the efficiency of production and distribution will fall short The basing point system of pi.ce-making is a potent n.stru- ment to protect and further monopolistic practices and to increase the oppression of small enterprises It should be eliminated from all industry "7.

The attempt to fix prices was an error and should be abandoned as soon as possible. Too Many Codes "8 Too many codes were attempted. Most of the codes covering small industries were worse than superfluous, they were Inexcusable interferences with business enterprises." "9. The codes were too drastic and attempted too much. To deliver industry into the hands of its greatest and most ruthless units when the protection of the antitrust laws had been withdrawn, was a grave error." with Stewart ON OUR.
