DAILY NEWSPAPERS GET A PANNING jO., known over Iin this county for destroying a n e s t! The n.wW code that has beeajn a state „< formation f e n d l Z nS 'iiinn , in to ham ~ J S i S S l tries. Many suggestions have been made but the committee in charge has not yet decided how the fund shall be invested. A public park in the home town has been suggested. since last July was sent to President Roosevelt on December , a § 5^00 memorial in his home town 23, last. Those engaged in publishing and printing had about ithe gift of admirers from every state as ma.iy different ideas of what should be in a code or should j ;n the Union and many foreign coun- not be, as has been found by those in the manufacture of any particular line of merchandise* Reports from Washington indicate the President signed the basic code for the printing industry, including the small daily, weekly and periodical publishers. The code for the metropolitan daily papers, which was seperate from the other code, is withheld for the present. Each code insisted on the freedom of the press clause, no license, free expression, all of which Gen. Johnson would at one time have cast out as a scrap of paper. President Roosevelt has drawn the fire of many of the metropolitan papers when he referred to the free­ dom of the press clause as mere sui’plusage and that employees "were subject to sweatshop methods; The President touched on another factor and that was child labor, a thing almost unknown in this particularly in­ dustry, except the delivery of papers and magazines by boys and girls! Where child labor should begin wijl always be a debatable question. In certain sized cities most all newspaper delivery is by young folks far past the child labor clause. In • smaller cities and rural towns newspaper delivery by boys and girls has been a custom as old as the publishing business. News­ boys have grown to reach not only the presidency, but gov- . ernors, senators, congressmen, ministers, attorneys and phy­ sicians. It was in their teens that they first learned the basic idea of business'that gave them the urge to go higher by adopt­ ing one of the professions or a station in public life. Thousands of boys and girls have aided aged or indigent parents by their savings. They have financed themselves in school and college activities. To deny them this opportunity in many cases is but turning young America loose in the street to roam at will, having no thought or encouragement of what is to be ex­ pected of them in the future. We sat through one hearing on the code, when representatives o f certain religious organ­ izations, heads of a famous temperance body, leaders of cer­ tain patriotic women’s organizations pleaded for.a code that would deny boys and girls the right to distribute publications. Evidently the President is following the pleading of such or­ ganization representatives when he charges newspapers with child labor abuse. Most of the criticism of the newspaper code offered ,by the President does not hit the smaller publications, particularly the weekly field. As for the metropolitan class, and even many board has been right up in front in of the smaller dailies, the publishers were but pulling the house in on themselves when columns of space, news and editorial, were devoted to NRA publicity. Many small in­ dustries had to fight for existence under the code against trust competitors that attempted to use the NRA to stifle competition. Those most instrumental in selling the NRA to the country through the press, now emit the loudest and longest condemna­ tion, and fire criticism against what is being attempted under the NRA. Small industry now sits back and welcomes the the position the metropolitan press finds itself* . What the future .has ini store for the Blue Eagle in the newspaper, field,is a matter of conjecture. There is no doubt but our metropolitan friends will soft pedal NRA publicity a trifle more now than in the past. It is going to be interesting to see how long the Blue Eagle gets top mast space in some of our daily papers: Senator Carter Glass, Virginia, publisher of a number of newspapers, has never adopted the Blue Eagle, pigs. the hunter he thinks he has more privileges than the owner of the land. It begins to look now like the courts in this country are to legalize the boy­ cott and picketing, a form of retalia­ tion adopted years ago by labor unions, and in the past frowned upon by the public and as a rule the courts. Gen. Johnson, head of NRA,. could not find anyother way to scare business people, so he went hack a few years and suggested that the public boycott any firm that did not swallow the NRA program, hook and line, even if it took the hair off his head. A Cleve­ land judge this week hands down a decision refusing to restrain picket­ ing of a firm that was accused of "re­ ducing” prices on dry cleaning under terms of the code. This was the kind of a racket A1 Capone worked in Chi­ cago against dry cleaners before he became famous as “Public Enemy No. 1. Some of these days A1 will be liberated from federal prison with an apology that somebody “did him wrong." Down in the nation’s capital in the alphabetical world we have what is known, as the NRA Consumers Ad­ visory Board, a creation of Gen. Johnson. It was the original idea that this board would, be the rep­ resentative of the dear public .that had to pay increased prices for merchan­ dise on a minimum wage scale. This A score or more cities and towns in Ohio have passed resolutions ask­ ing Gov. White to remove Edward J. Hopple as a member of the Ohio Public Utilities Commission. Hopple faced a fight when he was appointed on the board. Recently he is credited with making a speech in Cleveland when he cast slighting remarks about patrons of gas, electric and tele­ phone companies who had been urging lower rates, Terming objectors as demagogues has fired a large part of the consumers. Gov. White so far has refused to remove Hopple, the complaint filed with the Executive be­ ing that Hopple could not he fair in his decisions. Councils continue to pass resolutions demanding his remov­ al, The Gov. is going to face -a try­ ing time in this dispute. For the good of the state, including patrons and utility companies, Hopple ishould be removed. His service is at an end and any decision he should render now, probably would only anger util­ ity patrons the more. Even the util­ ity companies should ask Gov. White for Hopple’s resignation to clear the atmosphere. It is not a question now what Hopple had to say in his speech, the public seems le t against him, re­ gardless of what Gov, White says or does. ■f the battle against increase of food prices that might bring more profit to producers on the farm. When you scan the list of members you will readily see how much protection the average citizen could expect. No doubt these dear ladies ■have first hand information and again from the farmer’s standpoint you might imagine they think Carnation milk comes from a hot house. If a baby is wanted in the home all you have to do is place the order with a doctor or call the Children’s home. The com­ mittee is headed by Mary Harriman Rumsey, heir to the Harriman mil­ lions, owners of yachts and railroads; and has been very critical at times of methods used to force Belle Sherwin, heir to the million dol­ lar paint fortune; Emily Newell Blair, author; Grace Morrison Poole, Federation of Women’s Clubs; Mrs. Hugh Johnson, wife of the boss of business to adopt it. This is significant in that the Senator belongs to the President’s political party. On the other side you would go blind hunting for the imiginary bird in the Republican Chicago Tribune. From now on we predict the Blue Eagle will be taken from the song bird list and the news- i the NRA- who has no worry other papers will declare “open season,” Gen.

Johnson, chief mogul of the NRA, in a radio address Tuesday night; invited the public to file their objections to. the NRA, if they have any. No doubt thousands of ob­ jections will go into the hopper and then to the furnace in the Depart­ ment of Commerce building. On the eve of George Washington’s birthday anniversary it might be a fitting thing for General Johnson to read the Declaration of Independance. Any plan of government that prohibits one who has the equipment and ability to produce a certain article that can be sold at a profit to the manufacturer and distributor, and yet cost the con­ sumer less than the same thing, from another plant, is against the ordinary law of competition, just as much to­ day as in Washington’s time. The NRA in many cases permits and en­ courages higher prices for every day articles that must be purchased by consumers who have no means of in­ creasing income. Gen. Washington stood for a government for all the people, so did Lincoln. Gen. John­ son seems to have only the interest of those on city pay rolls at stake. Rural America has no place under the NRA, neither had it under the IWW. politics with the relief work have had proper rebuke from the authorities in Greene county that were asked to re­ duce wages of CWA workers. It was a neat and well perfected plan to un­ load trouble on local authorities and clear state politicians. But the game did not work for Greene county has one representative on the relief end in Chester Jacobs that knows how to take care of himself. For weeks and months state authorities have been on the dictating line forcing county and township officials to do just what they were told. In many instances they were helpless but where possible they have used their own good judg­ ment which often has not been pleas­ ing to the state politicians that have adopted a policy of what is nothing more than purchasing future votes. The local committee has tossed the wage cut plan back to the state ad­ ministration. Most of the workers are now only receiving $7.50 a week and a further cut would not be justi­ fied. The. action will be endorsed by not only the laborers but Greene coun­ ty citizens as well. Greene county has been spending about $8,000 each month for relief.
