Monday by Ignited States Ambassa-dor-At-Large'
'Norman H. Davis. Mr.
Davis furthtrnindicaled he wanted it
understood hisi mission to Europe was
merely to make himself available for
discussion in connection with the
technical preparation of the disarm
ament convention.
He expects 'to begin disarmament
conversations with British statesmen
immediately on his arrival in Lon
don Wednesday morning. He appar
ently was not disturbed by reports
that the British press had hailed his
coming with predictions of a naval
construction race. It was understood
Mr, .Davis feels that as long as na
tions are not violating the London
naval treaty there is nothing to be
excited over.
The American delegates to the
Geneva arms conference apparently
are not ready to make optimistic pre
dictions that an armed pact will be
completed this fall. However, they
are more hopeful of results because
of indications that German and
French differences on the question of
the supervision of armaments before
actual reduction are considerably
improved.

Judge Hamilton approved the sale to
the General American. Judge Hamil

NRA Head Says
Buy Campaign
Starts Sept. 20
Johnson in Labor Day Talk Pledges
National Drive Before th
End of This Month.
i.JiK-ago, fepi. t. One 01 lue
greatest Labor day throngs in Chi
cago's hi.ntory Monday heard Gen.
Hugh S. Johnson, national recovery
administrator appeal for a nation
wide consumers buying campaign.
Addressing a throng of nearly a
quarter of a million persons through
a system of loud speakers that carried
his message over the world's fair
grounds. General Johnson reassured
his listeners that a federally direct
ed campaign would start about Sept.
20 to influence citizens to buy freely.
To Convince People.
"We shall begin a campaign,"
he said, "to try to convince the
people of the need to buy free
ly not as a patriotic duty, but
as a prudent use of money."
With labor working shorter hours,
receiving more money, commodities
advancing in price and industrial
costs mounting, the general said,
there was bound to be an increase in
the price to the consumer soon. He
said:
"But the President who spon
sored this recovery program is
not going to see it run away with
profiteering."
He indicated that the government
might resort to extraordinary pow
ers, if necessary.
He emphasized strongly that the
law has talons and that the codes will
be enforced. He added:
"We welcome opinions of per
sons who do not wish to com
ply with the law, but it must
be remembered that ultimate de- ,
cision rests (with the President
of hte United States.
"For violators, we can take
away the blue eagle and if that's
not enough there are plenty of
penalties."
There was no employer, he added.

under the blue eagle who had not
signed up voluntarily. He denied
that the government was using a boy
cott campaign to force employers in
to line.
"I may go a step further and
say although this Labor day was
the first objective, we shall not
stop. You cannot stop a move
ment like thi3. It is unfair to
the loyal and patriotic men who
have put up the blue eagle to
permit any competitor to refuse
to put him up."
Johnson said that specific figures
on re-employment since conception of
the recovery code were not available,
but added that a quick census was
planned a little later by individual
report. to determine the number who
had returned to work under codes
and agreements with the President.
No Labor Restrictions.
Johnson spoke under auspices of
the Illinois Federation of Labor. To
labor he emphasized that the right
to organize and bargain would not ;
be violated. Johnson said that while i
employers are not compelled to agree
to any scale of wages demanded by
workers, the employers had tho obli
gation not to attempt to interfere
with free organization.
SHOCK DUE TO KIDNAPING
St. Paul. Mrs. William Hamm, sr.,
60 years old, died at her home aTter
an illness that dated from the kid
naping cn June 15 of her son, Wil
liam Hamm, Jr., wealthy St. Paul
brewer. Mrs. Hamm's physician said
her illness was the result of the
shock she experienced when her son
was abducted and the four tense days
before his release after payment of
$100,000 ransom. She was the widow
of the late William Hamm, sr., St.
Paul capitalist and industrialist, who
built up the Theodore Hamm Brew
ing company, now headed by his son.
Mrs. Hamm is survived by her son
and three daughters.
At that, we don't believe the men
who now have to kiss a face full of
paint have as big a kick as the wom
en used to when they had to kiss on
full of whiskers.
