TREASURY BANS
SOVIET COLD

WASHINGTON, March 6. = The
treasury department today declined
TO assay the $5,00O,0O0 in Soviet Rus
;ian gold which recently arrived in
lew York consigned to the care of
the Chase National Bank and the
!quitable Trust Company. The re-
fusal followed decision of the at
torney general that the treasury de-
partment will not in the future be
permitted to assay Russian gold, un-
der the embargo act of 1920 against
he importation of Soviet Gold. The
Chase National Bank and the Equit-
able Trust Company were informed
that they must guarantee title to the
gold if the gold were to be assayed.
This the banks declined to do, stat
ing hey were acting only as agents
For the U. S. S. R. The state de-
partment, following the arrival of the
rold, declared that it would not op-
pose the assaying.

JOBLESS SEAMEN
DEMAND RELIEF
Unemployed Women to
Meet Today

With two more known dead in New
York from hunger and exposure as a
result of the widespread unemploy-
ment, about 800 unemployed seamen
and lockers applauded the relief de-
mands of the New York Council for
the Unemployed at meeting in the
International Seamen's Club, rs
South St., yesterday afternoon.
The speakers were Philip Bart, OF
the Youth Council of the Unem-
ployed; H. Paley, an unemployed war
veteran, and Tom Fleming.
Two More Die.
The two latest deaths were reported
yesterday. John Barry, rs, former
barge captain, died in Bellevue Hos
pital of starvation. He had been un-
able to get work for the last few
years due largely to his advancing
age. He was removed to the hospital
from his room at 100 Park Row too
late to save his life.
Efforts are continuing to identify
a 35-year-old worker who was found
unconscious in the New York Central
r. r. tunnel north of Grand Central
Terminal. He had crawled into the
tunnel and was found huddling
against the steam pipes. He died
shortly after being taken to the emer-
gency hospital in the terminal.
Christopher Grace, weak from
starvation, collapsed in the lobby of
a lodging house at 189 Park Row.
Bart advised the young seamen

g also reported.
Sweeping south from Human prov
snce, the worker-peasant armies have
captured numerous villages. They
were reported several weeks ago to
% besieging Kweilin, the old capital
city of Kwangsi province.
Fearing an attack on Canton, the
Canton authorities have recalled 25,-
900 troops from Kweilin where they
were rushed in an attempt to stem
the advance of the worker-peasant
armies. Altho the government forces
outnumber the worker peasant
armies, the latter are extremely we'll
organized and disciplined.
Any attack on the city by the ad-
vancing troops would be supported

The endorsement of Gov. Smith

modern merchants are too wise. too

the truth a joke: II that same truth
thev should abuse. they know they
probably will lose much business at a
stroke. One little falsehood in an ad
will make a hundred patrons mao. on

and If we wish to hold their trade the
truth must always be displayed. no

fan the air. we are just human lads:
II is GOOD sense and nothing more that
makes the owner Of store Shun false-

we want to feel they will come back
