Berry left for the Middle West to seek recruits among farmers and white collar workers for his nonpartisan League. He predicted the 3,500,000 members of the American Federation of Labor would support Mr. Roosevelt. Lewis’ and Berry's remarks were regarded (as opening labor's campaign for re-election of Mr. Roosevelt. They marked the first deviation in generation from labor's traditional nonpartisan policy. Although Landon’s letter to Thomas conceded the right of labor to “send in an organizer,” Lewis said the Republican nominee “still thinks the unorganized should have ‘complete freedom from interference from any one whatsoever.’ ” “Of course this policy, taken from the repeated declarations of the National Manufacturers Association, is designed to isolate workmen from the trade union movement,” Lewis

Clapper Facts in Business World

Mock G. 0. P. ‘Free Play’ Plea.

BY RAYMOND CLAPPER Times Special Writer ASHINGTON, Aug. 1.—Col. Knox and the other speakers at his acceptance ceremonies expended a good deal of wind talking about restoring the “American way” and promised to “free” American citizens from the “coercion” of the New Deal.

They want American business to have free play without any interference from = government bureaus at Washington. They are against revival of NRA or “anything like it.” To quote Senator Vandenberg at Topeka, let the American business man alone so he can exercise his individual -initiative in free competition.

Anything less than that, it seems, is something imported from Moscow. If the Republicans thought of it 50 years ago it’s American—otherwise it’s an alien doctrine. Such is the burden— and it's -a: tiresome burden too— of most of the Republican speeches. 0» 8 2 HIS theme is somewhat mocked by the facts in the business world. Numerous large businesses think so little of free competition that they organize into trade associations, many of, which are . constantly on the ragged edge of overstepping the anti-trust ‘laws. Recently the Supreme Court stepped in to enforce more competition in the sugar industry. Within the last few days an officer of the National Distillers Products Corp. spoke. at the national conference of state liqudr administrators, proposing a code .of fair competition for the liquor industry. And—note this—he asked the state administrators to adopt this code and enforce it clear down the line since the Federal government had only restricted authority, due to Supreme Court decisions. For instance, he urged

uniform restrictions to prevent liquor dealers from making advertising appeals to women and young people, or in any other way offending against good taste and morals. He also stressed the .de-

states—some states now forbid mention of price in advertising and other states require it. In the last session of Congress the textile industry, supported by some other groups, sought legislation reviving the principles of
