FIRST NAT. BANK
 BOSTON REPORTS
 BUSINESS BETTER

Boston, May 29-The First Ma tional Bank of Boston, in it's New England letter dated May 27, re- ports as follows:
 New England business is bet ter. Our index of aggregate in- dustrial production in April was substantially above the preceding month and exceeded the corres- bonding period of a year ago by more than 10 percent. While tex tiles, clothing. and shoe industries accounted largely for the marked improvement, the upturn was par ticipated in by a number of other lines. A cheerful feeling is mani fested in all parts of this section as orders flow in for our prin- cipal products and as an increas- ing number of firms report profits instead of loses.
 Business for the country as a whole has also shown a steady inn provement from the low point established during the bank holi- days. Industrial production in April was 10 percent over the preceding month and about per- cent over April 1882.
 "The forward movement has embraced the majority of indus tries and has been extended to practically all sections. A greater number of workers are employed and payrolls show an encouraging increase. Commodity and security prices are substantially higher.

JUNE DOCKET OF SUPERIOR COURT SHORT
SAME OLD STORY
 OF GIRLS STRIKE
Some Out and Wondering If They Had Better FOl-
 low the Crowd
FACTS NOT KNOWN

A dozen or more girls employed by the Watertown Undergarment Co. were undecided at press hour today whether they would return to their employment or continue to remain Ion strike." Reports again reached the Democrat early this afternoon that the 250 girls em- ployed by that company had staged a walkout at noontime and had refused to return to their employ ment unless better wages and working hours were offered.
 Inquiry at the factory revealed that no official spokesman was available but one of the office em- ployes, unofficially denied the re- port, stating that there were about a dozen or so girls outside the company's grounds, undecided as to whether to return to their jobs.
 Last Friday a similar report was received at this office from a girl who refused to disclose her iden- tity. A telephone call to the factory resulted in the information that the girls were all working and that not one was. out. P. LipshitZ, own CT of the company, was reported to have strengthened out the diff1- culties at the plant on @ trip to Watertown from New York.
 At the plant today it was stated that he would be at the company office late this afternoon.

 Hacketts adress was said to be HOY Broadway. In a letter to Couzens, believed to have been ad- dressed also to other senators, Hac- kett stated that he had written a pamphlet or book on the episode which he wants the senate commit tee to investigate.
 CouZens has written the New Yorker inviting him to submit his facts.

(Continued from Page 1.) whether the business will be con- tinued and under what terms.
 If the survivors are unable to agree upon such a continuance, the majority interests" outside of the Morgan family interests will de- termine the question. But in such a case, the Morgan interest will be withdrawn, presumably by sale to the other parners and mo one is to get an interest in the good will or firm name."
 If no lineal descendant of Nor gan is a member of the firm upon his death, the name shall be used for only ] 5 years afterward-un- less a lineal descendant is taken into the firm.
 Various sections protect the Morgan name. The good will and rights to use the name are never to have any cash value, "and in no contingency will any estimate be put on their firm name or it's good will in any successor part nership."
 The books of the company are settled on Dec. S1, of each year. The partners receive, however, only one half of the years profits, and the other 50 per cent go to their credit as undivided profits" !" No money can be drawn from this credit without the consent of the other partners. Morgan is to de- termine when the undivided pro- fits are to be slit.
 No member may engage in any other business or be the general or special partner in any other firm" is another provision, and the firm name must not be used in any other business
 NO partner shall engage in speculation in stocks or anything else," the 17th clause reads, but this prohibition shall not be con- strued to prevent a partners in- vesting his private funds in any way he sees fit." Partners are for bidden endorsing any notes or be- coming surety for any person with out the consent of the other part ners.
 The agreement applies not only to J. F. Morgan & Company, but to Drexel & Company of Philadel- phia, Grenfell & Company of Lon- don and Harris x Company of Paris

wards an eventual settlement.
 3. If France pays, President Roosevelt agreed to open negotia- tions.
 We must pay" Herriot said. we must prevent Franco-Ameri- can friendship from being shat tered by present positions of dis trust on both sides of the Atlantic. Let us suggest a second Lausanne to show President Roosevelt that Europe has made big effort at Lausanne. all of whcih will be de- stroyed if the United States in a second Lausanne does not agree to a new solution of debts to prevent us fro mdestroying the work of the first Lausanne"
 A bitter dispute developed in the chamber late today between Daladier and his predecessor, Edouard Herriot, over the nature of the instructions Herriot receiv- ed on debts before going to Wash ington recently.
 The argument arose while Dala- dier was defending his position, particularly on debts, disarmament and the four-power pact.
 Inspired by the chambers vote last December" Daladier declared. T felt that credits for the Decem- Der annuity could not be asked of the chamber again unless President Roosevelt agreed to a moratorium on the June annuity and agreed to a general debt discussion pre- liminary to revision"
 Herriot pulled from his pocket the original memorandum of in- it did not bear out Daladier's state msnt. Herriot was violently heckled by tho left, particularly Henry Franklin Bouillon.

GOLD CLAUSE IS HEADED FOR THE
 SCRAP HEAP"
Once the Bulwark of the Govt and Private See curities It Will Soon Be Over

Washington May 29-(UP) - The gold clause" for generations a bulwark of government and pri- vate securities, was headed today for the economic scrapheap.
 Legislation asked by President Roosevelt to make all obligations payable in any kind of money comes before the house for debate this afternoon. Democratic lead- CTS are certain of passage tomor- row despite minority protests that the action constitutes repudiation of contracts.
 Treasury officials consider re- troactive cancellation of the gold clause an essential in preparation for Notation of huge new bond is- sues to finance the domestic recon struction program and retire ma turing issues.
 With all gold payments barred, it is deemed absurd to issue new bonds promising payment in the metal. However, all outstanding bonds bear this promise, and in event of a full return to the gold standard, holders would have a right to demand penny for penny in gold. If the new and old bonds were left on different status, it is feared the new issues might be subject to market discrimination and unfavorable speculation. The impending congressional action will mean that in the fu- ture. payment must be accepted in any legal tender" It is estim- ated that from $70.000, 100000 to $1OO,O0O,000,000 in securities are affected, approximately s22,0O0-, 900, 900 of the total being govern ment obligations.
 In one sense, the resolution will merely give legislative sanction to an existing situation. By presi- dential order no gold has gone out of the treasury since the banking crisis.
