Blame STRIKERS
FOR THUGS ACTS
Elizabethton Pick e s
Before Chancellor

ELIZABETHTON, Tenn, May 30.
The United Textile Workers
Union, of the American Federation
of Labor, which has always played
strikebreaking role in textile
strikes, today made a strenuous eff
fort to smash the splendid struggle
of the 5000 rayon' workers who on
April Is walked out of the mills
here of the American Bemberg and
American Glanzstoff corporations
William F. Kelley, vice-president
of the U. T. W., the official who was
put in charge of the strike by that
organization, yesterday told the
strikers and everybody else:
'If the plants will take our work
ers back and not discriminate the
strike is ended"
Repudiate U. T. w.
Great indignation was expressed
by the strikers, and many among
them declare that the next mass
meeting will denounce the u. T. W.
order to go back and scab on them
selves in the language that it de-
serves. Many of the strikers insist
that they will continue the strike
and will look TO the fighting Ma
tional Textile Workers Union for
leadership, after being twice be-
trayed by the A. F. of L. organiza-
tion.
The mill owners two days ago is
sued a proclamation of the usual
clustering sort, resorted to in every
strike, that eff the workers do not
return to their jobs before Monday
they will be refused work there
after"
Kelley thereupon abandoned at
one swoop everything the strikers
have been demanding, in the way of

Bills giving the president wide
powers to draft industry in time of
war will be ready for submission
to congress within 80 days, Secre-
tary of War Good said today.
A bill to enable the president to
'conscript man-power for army serv-
ice in time of emergency was in
troduced in congress earlier this
month.
There was reaction against it
throughout the country. The pres
ent bill makes pretense that capi-
tai is to be as badly treated as la
Dor, and Good frankly admits, is
intended to flush through the man
power conscription, though he gives
even that admission a peculiarly
militarist twist:
"It would be unjust" he said to-
day, "to pass a law to draft man
power without provision for draft
ing the industrial group which will
produce materials the. soldiers will
use."
More Capitalization.
The world war proved that the
really class conscious capitalist
turns over his factory product, at
a good stiff profit of course, to the
war department in time of "emer-
gency." But the present bill further
centralizes and controls these plants
and makes it possible to force into
line any small concerns who find

Agents of the Manville-Jenckes Co.

the strikers by offering some of

Ebert Tutherow, an active strik-

Attorney Bullwinkle, lawyer for the

matun has been given the oil COM
panies by Fred G. SteVsnot. director Of
the State Department. OF Natural Re-
sources.
Attempt at Conservation.
The natural gas conservation law in
California follows an abor6ive attempt
by the oil operators of the Golden State
to restrict output and conserve gas and
crude through voluntary cooperative
agreement. This plan broke down
because of recalcitrants among the in
dependent producers who declined to
conform to the State oil umpire S
orders.
The failure of voluntary restriction
plans in California was considered a
serious blow to the oil industry How
ever, r. A. Broomfield, president of the
California Oil & Gas Association, in a
letter to e. 3. Reeser, president of the
American Petroleum Institute, yester-
day. declared:
'It was found superfiuous to attempt
to carry on voluntary restriction in
view of the pending enforcement of the
State gas conservation regulations"
Meanwhile the situation west Of the
Rockies is apparently that all pro-
ducers are getting out the last possible
quart of oil from their wells to build
storage reserves to the highest possible
point before the State conservation law
is effected.
Caiifornia's consumptive requirements
for the territory which it Is geo
graphically fitted to serve would not be
more than $4,000 to 100000 barrels
of crude daily. The States present
rate of production In each 24-hour
period, according to the last report of
the American Petroleum Institute. is
835, 500 barrels. This is approximately
100000 barrels daily more than at the
same time last year.
This flush production In excess OF
territorial needs and increasing oil and
gasoline shipments from California con-
stitute o grave danger to the price
structure in the oil industry OF the
United States generally.
Shipments Increased.
In addition, increased oil output west
of the Rockies has resulted naturally in
greatly increased refining on the Pa
cific slope. This has been at the ex-
pensa of Eastern refiners.
California's shipments of gasoline to
the Atlantic seaboard are approximate
ly double in the present year compared
with 1923, and Eastern oil marketing
organizations have suffered. The situ-
alton to date has been saved by very
material increase in the domestic and
foreign demand for gasoline.

was considered this term. 1t was main
tanned that the Farm Loan Board has
no power to assess the stockholders lia-
bility and that the receiver of such
bank may not bring action to recover
on the assessment. The receiver argued
in opposition that the powers of the
Farm Loan Board were analogous to
those of the controller of the currency
over national banks. The Circuit Court
of Appeals upheld the action brought
by the receiver, but the Supreme Court
granted a writ of certiorari. This case
will be argued next term.
Liability of Banks.
The liability of banks for unauthor-
lied acts of its officers was brought into
question in several important contro-
Versles. 1t was maintained that the
contracts entered into or loans made
were in excess of the authority con-
ferred on the banks or their agents, for
which the banks were therefore not
liable. 1t was held however, that where
a bank holds one out as its cashier, it
is estopped from denying his authority
to issue certificates of deposits, and the
bank was held liable on the certificate
in question. The Supeme Cout declined
to review this case.
