EMPLOYERS AND RICH3ERG SPLIT ON NRA FUTURE Conflicting Views Presage Bitter Congress Fight on Labor. WASHINGTON Nov 22.—R* W* try co-ordir.ator Donald Richberg ar.d the National Association o.

Mr. Richberg and the Should he* done with NRA The views tolnrided on only a few points. 'lnc manufacturers suggested a di\orrc of labor reform* such as the <h:ld labor ban, hours and wages provisions and section 7A from kfgstation regarding fair trade pracFavors NRA Principles Mr Richberg favored a law contir. .ir.g *i;e basic principles of the NR \ He would divide it into four 1. fixing of minimum wages and 2. Elimination of dishonest business practices. 3. Exact reports on production, pn • , wages, employment and genera! economic conditions. 4 Freedom of agreement between employers and employes. Speaking before the Associated firo rr> Manufacturers of America, Mr. R:< hberg presented one of the n. thorough discussions of NRA s .■ tion 7A ev<r made by a high administration figure. He blamed conflicts over the law to eva ;on of its principles by both industry and labor. Recalls Old Conflicts •'Unfortunately.” he said, • section 7A was written against the backgrotmd of a long, continued struggle in this coumry over the right of recognition of labor organizations. In the ensuing contest many representatives of both interests red and violated the principle that voluntary organization should be the basis of collective bargaining.’* Rcpl'ing to criticism that the law ri not dirrctlv prohibit coercion by union-. Mr. Richberg declared: "To those employers who ask for a law to prevent workers from be- , ing forced bv unlawful threats and! \, )< nrr to join organizations against then will.

The Indianapolis Times wishes to correct a mi-statement in its story V'sterday of the murder of Mrs. Pauline Dowden Williams that John T Jameson, nephew of Booth Tarkington and treasurer of the Equitable Securities Company. 4400 Broadway, had commented to The Times on the mental condition of H Talbott, hold as the murderer. Tu<- day night, shortly after the murd *r. a group of Times reporters, working at adjoining desks, placed telephone calls to several men who hid known Talbott at Princeton university.

‘Girl of the Limberlost’ to Draw Divided Verdict BV WALTER D. HICKMAN

|T is difficult to bring the characx ters of Gene Stratton-Portcr's The Girl of the Limbcrlost" to the talking screen The rea .on is simple. The characters are so ts rr.biy ugly, bad and innuman or thej are so sweetysweet that they ring untrue. Wr are concerned right now in weighing critically the way Monogi?m has brought this famous novel to the talking screen. Some comedy liberties nave been taken with the story such as getting the pigs and hogs of Farmer Wesley Sint on < Ralph Morgan) soused on mash. Marian Marsh shows to better advantage when Elnora Comstock, the girl of the Limbcrlost, starts growing up and becomes more mature. As the abused girl who wanted to po to high senool three miles away to be a real girl, she seemed to me to be too sweetly pig-tailed. Miss Marsh receives the tongue lashings from her mother (Louise Dresser), who hated her because she thought that her child before bi.th was the cause of her husbands death. B B B I'UST because Katherine Comstock i Miss Dresser) did not have the strength while carrying the child to drag her husband out of the marsh where he died, she thought it the direct cause of his death. Her husband was a cheat and he w;.s returning from an illicit petting party, if that is what they calicd such things in those early Indiana days, when he fell into the marsh where there was quicksand. The wife did not learn the truth of her husband’s infidelity until she h id nearly vvreeked the life of her own daughter through cruelty. Miss Dresser gives a strong performance as a cruel and inhuman mother. Ralph Morgan does pretty well with the role of the terribly good farmer, Wesley Sinton. Uis wife. Helen Jerome, plays the roic like a saint, perhaps too much so. The picture moves slowly at trues, but the director has caught some of the spirit of the author by allowing Betty Blythe to do very much what she wanted to do with the role of Mrs. Parker, the bird woman. Here is one of the cleaness pictures ever made, and so at times the characters just don't ring true. There is going to be a divided verdiet on this one If you have a grand time seeing this one, that is fine—if not. well . . .

Tells of Drink He followed her across to the West St. Joseph street apartments, which she rented to enable her to : stay near her work several nights a week, and shot her there after she had given him a “big drink” of whisky because he felt “so bad.” Then, he returned to the Glenn Martin and, after threatening several persons there, shot himself in the head. Mr. Williams’ intention to prosecute Talbott was revealed in his statement last night to Detective Lieutenant Michael Hynes, who is in charge of the investigation into the shooting. The widower protested again and again that he could assign no motive for the shooting and said that he long had considered Talbott “dangerous.” “I can not give you any reason for the shooting as Mrs. Williams was the finest woman in the world,” Talbott told Lieutenant Hynes in a statement from his city hospital bed last night. Repeats Story He repeated to Lieutenant Hynes the story of the drink and of his | sudden impulse to commit suicide, which ended instead in Mrs. Williams’ murder, a story which he had ! told earlier in the day to The Indianapolis Times. ; Talbott's fatal call on Mrs. Williams Tuesday afternoon was his i first visit to the Glenn Martin in ! more than a year, he said, adding that he had been in the neighborhood on business at the time of ! the visit. He said his depressed condition was due to worry over , finances and the condition of his health and insisted he had no mem- ! ory of the actual shooting.
