money.
Six months ago The Times told
how Moore was considering fight
ing for the money he says he never
owned until the court placed it in
his possession by finding him guilty
Of the bride act.
Moore, on recommendation Of the
county grand jury, was relieved OF
facing judgment in the case.
City attorneys argued the money
should be placed in the city treas
ury because the length of time pos
session of the money had not been
contested prevented it from going
to the police pension fund.
I've decided to place the money
in my charity fund.-" Baker said to-
day. 1T will be used to help per-

Baker said he decided to appro-
pirate the money following con-
ference with James E. Deery, city
attorney, who has been studying
law on the moneys disposal.

LABOR WEIGHS
SWAY PLAN TO
END DEPRESSION
Proposals for Beer, 5-Day
Week, Public Works
Before A. F. of /.
BY DAN BOWERMAN,
United Press Stan Correspondent

VANCOUVER. B. c., Oct. 7. - A
viewpoint plan of battle to end UNI
employment depression was ready
today for presentation in resolution
form to the American Federation OF
Labor's annual convention.
About fifty resolutions we're ready
to be handed in. They included
those:
Asking congress Immediately to
legalize 2.75 per cent beer.
recommending universal adoption
OF the five-day week and shorter
working hours to end unemployment
Immediately.
Urging public works on an inn
mense scale in inland waterway de-
velopment, highway building and
flood control
Asking increased inheritance and
income taxes in the higher brackets
and possibly restoration of the ex-
cess profits tax
Demanding maintenance of wage
scales and strongly condemning
wage-cutting as the greatest pos
sible economic folly.
Huge Bond Issue Asked
In less direct fashion these same
proposals we're included in resolu-
lions presented Tuesday by individ-
uals. Indications were that the
earlier resolutions would be sci
aside.
Two proposals for financing large
scale public works are up for action
One asks a five-billion dollar bond
issue. The other sets ten billions as
a proper figure and asks a special
session of congress to vote the
money.
Two anti-prohibition amendments
would ask repeal of the eighteenth
amendment and repeal of the Vol
stead act. Advocates of these favor
state control as a substitute.
Two resolutions were offered ia
voring federal subsidized unemploy-
ment insurance. In his opening adj
dress President William Green in
dictated the federation viewed such
insurance only as final and dras-
tic remedy for Workingmen.
Urge Wartime Measure
Other resolutions denounced "un-
fair" policies Of individual manu-
facturers. Job competition from
Mexicans and Filipinos led to other
resolutions which went to commit
tees for study.
Government supervision over vir-
tually every factory in the nation
would be established under one reSo-
luton presented. Another proposal
would ask President Hoover to sum-
mon a joint conference of labor and
industry to study the" unemployment
problem.
Fred w. Suitor Of the Quarry
Workers Union submitted propo-
sal declaring the present emergency
equal to that of war times and ask
ing that congress take the drastic
step of creating labor and indus
trial board, with equal power, to
take over and operate all industries
for at least one year.

BOND DEAL TRACED.
/. IN LEA FRAUD TRIAL
Bank Head Tells Jury Defend
ant Did Not Pay for
Securities.
BY the Associated Press.

ASHEVILLE, N. O., August 12.--W
D. Harris, vice president of the Central
Securities Corporation and manager OF
the bond department. of the defunct
Central Bank & Trust Co. Of Asheville
returned to the stand today In the trial
of Luke Lea, Tennessee publisher, ard
three others on charges Of defrauding
the bank of $1,000, 900.
Other defendants are Wallace B.
Davis, former president Of the Central
Bank; Luke Lea, IT,, and e. p. Chariot,
business associates of the elder Lea.
All are charged with conspiracy and
fraud.
Harris yesterday testified the Central
Bank bought from its subsidiaries, Gen.
trail Securities and the Universal Mort
gage Co., $a75.0o0 worth of bonds for
sale to Lea.
Previous witnesses had testified the
bank never received payment for $214,-
900 Of these bonds, although full pay
ment was made by the bank to the two
subsidiary corporations.
Letter Introduced.
The State today introduced a letter
concerning the transaction from the
bank to Lea advising that notes to be
taken in payment for bonds must bear
several different signatures.
This letter also set forth that the
notes were to be delivered to the South
ern Publishing Co, Lea concern, and
Lea personally under an agreement
whereby the bank would repurchase
them within q year.
Harris said he never received for ap-
proval notes from Lea in payment for
the bonds.
The bonds later were returned to
Asheville, Harris said, and the $25 900
balance Of Universal bonds remained
in Tennessee.
Davis Knew Of Deal
Harris said he had discussed the
transaction with Davis, who told him
that the Central Bank and Lea were
cooperating in several matters, particu-
larly one in New York, by which they
hoped to obtain control Of number
of banks.
Harris said on eross-examination he
did not know whether Lea was to use
the cash raised on bonds to pay notes
which he gave the bank or was to
keep 1t himself.
He said Lea tried to return the $214,-
600 balance of the bonds after the
Central Bank failed last November, but
that they were refused because a re-
ownership for the bank already had
been applied for.
