Show will guarantee workers rights new deal Pro program orani to wipe out sweat shop and pauper pay AAA made more flexible by EARL GODWIN ASHINGTON what Is the washington W next step la in the new deal it will be a forward step roosevelt will hand to the next session of congress and to the next congress if he Is reelected elected re suggestions gest ions for carrying on the program ot of the extension of 0 human welfare which has marked the new nem deal so far by that I 1 mean that the federal control over hours and wages of labor will be made into a permanent federal law the experiences with ith as exasperating pe as some of them were shows to statesmen here that there Is but one way to guarantee workers their rights and to bulwark honest business against piracy and chiselers and that Is the federal law there Is an appreciable portion of industry cheating on both their workers and their customers and roosevelt has sent news cewa of this to congress asking for a study of the facts and appropriate legislation to continue another new style blue engle eagle when congress meets again roosevelt Is determined to wipe out for all time both the sweat shop chop and pauper pay this administration will I 1 believe hasten the ratification of the child labor amendment to the constitution there has been enough child labor to make the thing a national disgrace and we have discovered in the last two years under that the temporary abolition of the practice has been sound economically in addition to being just plain decent the social security pr program oram will be added to strengthened and ad perfected the present social security act Is simply the foundation if we follow the experience of other countries which have adopted old age pensions and job insurance ue e will make many changes in the law and practice before we are through A large problem in social security too is the problem of providing jobs for all employ ables we are a long way from that goal along with social security goes the public works program which this administration will not allow to slacken until private business takes up the slack the left wingers of the administration li like senator wagner of new york narry harry hopkins and his associates look with favor on the extension ot of private housing by federal means that means building better better city homes for slum dwellers a program which Is now lagging for lack of experience I 1 believe A snappy slum clearance program would do more to release the springs of private capital right now cow than almost anything else this government Is now completely tied up to a program of extending cheap electric light and power to th the e homes and farms this will continue through the tennessee valley authority with its tremendous power sites site through such vast projects as the boulder dam which was a reclamation project before the new deal started through bonneville ani coulee dams on the columbia river the rural electrification administration has a hundred million dollars with ith which to make farm work and life easier through cheap power these things filings will be continued in the roosevelt program AAA MORE FLEXIBLE the new nen deal program was strengthened in tile the closing hours of congress and when roosevelt Koo sevelt sinned signed the amendments to the original AAA act he presumably lifted it out of 01 the danger zone as far as the supreme court Is concerned and at the same time made the AAA a more flexible machine the old machine first one of its ita kind did a good job specifically it brought money honic home to tile the farms did its bit in bringing back prosperity hut but the old machine violated one or two traffic laws let us say its headlights if lights lits exactly rl right bt and it willed rattled a tilt bit la lare here re and there so congress henry wallace chester davis and F I 1 D roosevelt who designed tire lie original machine took it into tile garage and emerged with a 1910 1936 model the new AAA insures the constitutionality tiona tlona lity of the farm program in the light of supreme court decisions congress defines and limits the powers of the secretary of agriculture so that the packers and other processors who have been kicking cannot say that lie he Is assuming illegal or unconstitutional powers tile the experiments of the first two years of AAA nrc are legalized and nine major changes are made for the benefit of another administration the general object of the new AAA Is to make it easier for more fa banners to get a fair exchange price for their products one of the new sections incorporates corp orates legally in the farm program the eier eer normal granary plan for the storage of certain crops on the farm as Ins insurance arance agal against ast ihor shortages and violent price swings sings tills this by the way Is a step toward an all time lime normal procedure DENOUNCED BY SNELL it uns nan an old line ahne bitter political enemy of roosevelt who tools took the air to denounce the new deal after the resident president bad outlined his bis philosophy or of government in a radio address bert snell hero of the new york old guard begged for the old and worn out order of things with as much ardor but not as much personality as roosevelt explained that the future required new technique in solving problems arising out of a complicated civilization snell republican house bouse leader has never voted once for a new deal measure ile he did not support up relief for the hungry jobs for the jobless aid for the homeless security for the need aged fair income for workers and farmers but on every possible occasion he has explained his position by a defense of the constitution lie ile Is one of the volunteers who rush forward to save the constitution but he say from what I 1 when it was shown that tile the bituminous coal miners were working about one day a week and getting about 85 cents for that effort that their condition was one of starvation and economic slavery roosevelt backed the Guffey blila bill along long with CO per cent of the decent mine owners the guffey bill stabilizes the soft coal industry gives everybody ever body a break prevents waste of coal and provides living wages can anyone object to that representative snell objected strenuously standing by the constitution even it if miners and their families starved to death 1 there Is by the way no assurance that the constitution Is violated in the guffey bill the objectors to the bill are those of the 40 per cent of mine owners who have been notorious for their slave driving tactics in the mines when the G 0 P puts up one ot of their old guard to knock the new deal and he undertakes to hide the tha fact that he Is covering up the old guard failures by trotting on out t the constitution I 1 would say the republican party Is selling goods under false pretenses snell knew that the republicans in the senate and house largely supported most of the original new deal measures that they supported the farm program and some of them even supported the death sentence to the power trust this last by the way was a bitter pill for snell who has openly for many years fought the battles of the niagara hudson power company great empire state corporation which locked horns with roosevelt on the st lawrence waterway matter and has been jabbing at him ever since for ills bis good work snell has received the commendations ions lons of charlie ulyles republican national committeeman of new york state anil and the recognized leader of the conservation element in the party snell Is anxious to be known us as hilles Ill lles candidate for the presidency MATCHLESS campaigner it will not be many days before president roosevelt starts across the country to dedicate the boulder dam on the colorado river to public use to attend an exposition at san diego calif and make speeches at other points yet to be determined As matters stand this trip may start as early as the last week neek in september I 1 dont know what he Is going to talk about at his various stopping places ills his program has not been completed but I 1 know this much it will be a devastating tour for roose belts political opposition ile he Is a matchless campaigner lie ile has an unparalleled speaking voice both for platform and radio his personality bespeaks friendliness and leadership together As a man and a vote getter he seems to me to be getting better all the time and no doubt this coming transcontinental tour will attract the entire country I 1 said I 1 know what be would speak on but it seems natural that he be would choose the subject of power cheap government developed power at the boulder dam it if ho he does he be certainly ought to tear tile the shirt ort oft this power lobby which has smeared his reputation cast aspersions on had hl bli health and mentality anil and made it harj for him to administer his duties a i head of the government but I 1 doubt doub i that he will lie seems seeing to be learn learna howl ing how to make the other fe fellow hide his head without resorting to the bludgeon I 1 roosevelt Hoo sevelt Is developing a greaten grea teri and deeper sense of his own floe fine phi of government lie ile Is exhibiting hi bi that line fine virility of mind which attracts a nation of people long fed up on bunk As a framework for this cross country program roosevelt will take as his text the new legislation enacted by the recent exciting session of congress RELIEF FOR FARMERS it was not surprising that among the things congress lid did ere it locked up the capitol and went home was to pass a much modified lazle frazier lenike lemke bill giving hard pressed mortgage ridden farmers a chance to draw their breath roll up their sleeves and have another whack at the tiling thing before the foreclosure in other words as the law now stands thanks to this congress if a former farmer Is threatened with foreclosure he be can go to court get a three year moratorium during which time lie he can live on the farm at a rental to be determined by the judge if everything Is fair and aboveboard ultimately he be will have to pay what he owes and if the judge thinks it Is a hopeless case he will order a foreclosure tills this moratorium measure was drawn after the supreme court ruled the original frazier frahler lemko law unconstitutional tut lut ional that original measure did not pay enough attention to tile the rights of the creditors this one it Is predicted by some of the best constitutional
