Coughlin Plans
Entrance Into
'36 Campaign
Radio Priest To Organize
District Groups Against
'Rubber Stamps'
DETROIT, Dec. 16. - (P) -- The
National Union of Social Justice was
projected into the 1936 campaign
Sunday as the Rev. Charles E. Cough-
lin called upon "20,000 selected work-
ers" to organize groups of 250 in every
congressional district to defeat "rub-
ber stamp congressmen."
Speaking over a nation-wide radio
hook-up, Father Coughlin outlined
the first major political move of his
national union but denied that he in-
tended to sponsor the formation of
a political party.
Declaring the reform of the na-
tion's monetary system was the prin-
cipal objective he said:
"The history of seventy-four con-
gresses has been a history of con-
spiracy against the financial interests
of the people of the United States; a
history of subservience to the finan-
cial interests of Wall Street and to the
Federal Reserve banks.
Congress Is Extravagant
"In the latter days, it is true that
this present congress has fed the hun-
gry, clothed the naked and sheltered
the distressed. But true to tradi-
tions of its predecessors, it has bor-
rowed credit money from banks -18
billion dollars--whose vaults were
almost empty and pledged to these
bankers that the people of this nation
would pour into those empty vaults
not 18 billion dollars, but 36 billion
dollars of real American money."
Explaining the objectives of his
proposed organizations for the elec-
tion of congressmen, he declared:
Districts Must Unite
"Who is so ignorant as not to know
that those who concentrate the
wealth of the nation and exploit the
people have been so powerfully or-
ganized as to secure the nomination
of either a Republican or a Demo-
cratic representative to do their bid-
ding?
"I say that we must unite in every
congressional district to elect repre-
sentatives to Congress who will pub-
licly pledge themselves to nationalize
the Federal Reserve banking system."
Father Coughlin said he is interest-
ed in "perfecting the two main politi-
cal parties" rather than forming a
new one.
"We believe in rescuing them from
the ward healers and the unseen rul-
ers of the financial world," he added.
"We do not believe in establishing a
third or a fourth party which will
only add to the confusion."

ny Act Termed
Prof. Waterman
"colored as it is at present by a crit-
ical light of publicity, there is a great
tendency for the worthless and ineffi-
cient to stand out as typical. This is
not so true in other instances where
the bad are not quite so obnoxiously
prominent as have been the Insull
companies.
"It is not that people have lost more
money in utilities than in other in-
vestments," he said. "It is that more
investors have lost more money in
holding companies in such a short
time that has focused attention on
their parent-subsidiary relation-
ships."
The Holding Company Act's provi-
sion to dispose of many holding com-
pany properties, Professor Waterman
said, is really a killing blow. The
companies have refused to abide by
its provisions and are waiting the
decision of the Supreme Court on the
constitutionality of the act, he ex-
plained.
America Faces War
Days,_Nye States
SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 16. - (P) -
America, in the opinon of Senator
Gerald P. Nye (Rep., N. D.), is fac-
ing the most "dangerous days since
the World War."
Nye, head of the Senate munitions
committee, told a public gathering
here Sunday night that America "is;
setting the pace" in warlike prepara-
tions.
"No nation is spending, as much as
we are," he added.
National defense, he said, was be-
coming too much "a market for
profit." He advocated Government
ownership of the munitions industry.
"I have no cure-all for the disease
which is war, but we can do much to
lessen the danger of our being drawn
into another war," he said. "First,
by tightening and enlarging our neu-
trality policy, and then by removing
profit from war itself, and prepara-
tion for it."
Trucking Firm
Told To Cease
SpyingTactics
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. - (P) -
The National Labor Relations Board
today ordered the Fruehauf Trailer
Co. of Detroit to cease employing pri-
vate detectives for the alleged pur-
pose of reporting on union activity
among its workers.
In its first decision affecting the
automobile industry, the board also
directed the company to reinstate
seven employes with back pay. These
workers, the board said, were dis-
charged for union activity. The
company also was directed to stop
"interfering" with the organization
of its workers.
The board cited testimony regard-
ing J. N. Martin, described as a pri-
vate detective in the company's pay.
The board asserted he "passed as an
ordinary employe" and was elected
treasurer of the United Automobile
Workers local.
