IN SOIL POLICY

Reduction Plan for 13g Proposed by Wallace; Benefits Fixed.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 (U. P.). —Secretary of Agriculture Wallace today announced a sharply revamped soil conservation program for 1938 which would slash from 15,000,000 to 30,000,000 acres from the average harvesting of major crops over the past 10 years. The program, which was completed after a conference among Secretary Wallace, high Agricultural Adjustment Administration officials and 118 state farm leaders, followed closely the lines of the tentative proposal announced last week, Secretary Wallace said ‘the aims of the new program, which probably will be included in the general farm surplus control bill before the next session of Congress, were to encourage soil conservation through increasing nondepleting

| crops and assuring a “balanced

production of food and food supplies at prices fair to consumers and growers.”

crops, the balance to be used for soil conservation work. Under the 1938 schedule: the “goals” aggregate a flexible range from 275,000,000 to 290,000,000 acres as against the 10-year average of 305,000,000 harvested acres of soil-depleting crops and an estimated 300,000,000 acres for 1937. The maximum goal is a 5,000,000-acre increase over last week’s tentative outline. Specific goals and benefit payment plans for complying farmers were fixed in the new program for corn, cotton, rice, tobacco and peanuts while AAA officials said that potatoes would be included also in this category if two-thirds of the producers approve in a national referendum Oct. 2. : The remaining commodities, Including wheat, were not assigned special goals although they were allotted a total quota of between 145.00,000 -and 155,000,000 acres. ° AAA officials explained that farmers were satisfied with wheat prices and the outlook despite the largest crop in seven years and had not asked for inclusion in th special treatment list. |

The new program sets a broad " base for each dcre in general soildepleting goals but this does not

include the “specific” crops. For the first time in the conservation program, special payment features were included to encourage restoration of grass on land in the drought-ridden Great Plains .area, which had been plowed when it should not have been cropped. \ A payment of 50 cents per acre will be made on the “restoration” land which will be selected by county committees as “unadapted to cropping.” The land is defined as “that which has been cropped once since 1933.”

~ GRIPS HOLLYWOOD

Rival Factions Fight to Dominate Industry.

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 20 (U.P.).— Strife between rival labor factions extended today through the motion picture industry, involving everybody from the highest paid stars and directors down to the janitors. It was a struggle for jurisdiction. On one side was the powerful International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, numbering 15,000 projectionists, cameramen, makeup artists, soundmen, prop men, grips and other technicians in Hollywood and 10,000 in other parts of the country. The I. A. T. 8S. E. demanded the right to represent the whole industry. Opposing it was a force of eight professional guilds, including the Actors’ Guild with 10,000 members, which banded to fight for autonomy. They refused to be included in the one big family that the I. A. T. S. E. proposed for negotiating with producers. The rivals all are affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. The crisis was expected this week when Louis B. Mayer and Joseph M. Schenck return from European vacations. They are the two acknowledged leaders among the producers. The I. A. T. S. E. made its demands for recognition as bargaining agency for all the industry on producers last week. The employers refused to answer them until Mr. Schenck and Mr. Mayer returned. Directors, organized for the first time, also were demanding recognition.

HOLDS CITIES CAN REGULATE ‘MLL PICKETERS

Maryland Court Sets Out Good and Bad in

Test Case.

Times Special BALTIMORE, Sept. 20.—The extent to which picketing may be regulated by a city ordinance, under the Constitution, has been “spelled out” in detail, by the Maryland Court of Appeals. The Court struck down the whole of Cumberland’s antipicketing ordinance, holding that the “unreasonable” portions; which violate the due-process requirement, were so wrapped up with the reasonable parts as to make the whole unlawful. The opinion, by Chief Justice Sloan, then passed judgment on the good and bad provisions, giving a hint as to what a city can do in this direction under his Court’s interpretation of the Federal Constitution. A city under its police power may regulate picketing by ordinance, despite the fact that the state has already legislated in this field

RAILROADS SUED FOR

through enactment - of an antiinjunction act, the opinion said. Ban ‘Outsiders’

Justice Sloan upheld the requirement that pickets must have been last employed at the plant picketed, commenting that he thought it “not only reasonable but highly proper” to ban outside pickefs as well as strikebreakers from outside. It also is all right with the court to limit pickets to one for each public entrance to a business place, and six to a plant gate, and to limit picketing to an area described in the permit. The Court also approved limiting picketing to certain hours of the day. A provision authorizing the police chief to revoke permits for disorderly conduct or other unlawful acts was approved, as was another forbidding pickets to carry cameras, weapons or any device other than a placard or banner. In the latter connection, Justice Sloan commented that use of a camera ‘was innocent unless it was used to annoy customers by being pointed at them. The ordinance was ruled invalid in the following particulars: Applications for picketing permits were required to be in the prospec-

tive picket’s own handwriting, with:

both his business and home addresses and a photograph. .

+ Limits Placard’s Size

The ordinance required that any picketing permit applicdnt must have been a resident of Cumberland for one year. It required submission of evidence that the applicant was a bona fide
