REFUSED ON
!. RAIL BIDS
Dictator Declares CoIIusion
Seen in Identical Prices
Quoted to Companies
BY International News service

Proposal OF the principal
steel companies to furnish the
railroads with steel rails at a
uniform price of $3775 per
gross ton was turned down to-
day by Joseph B. Eastman,
Federal Coordinator Of Trans
portation.
Eastman said the prices sub
mitted bore "unmistakable evi-
dence of prior consultation and
collusion and absence Of compe-
tition."
In view of the circumstances
and the past history Of steel
prices, Eastman said, he was
authorized by President Roose-
velt to say that the Government
is unwilling to loan money to
the railroads for the purchase of
rails without some safeguard to
the consumer and the public in
tereSt as a substitute for the
competition which is absent"
Examination Demanded
Such a safeguard. he said,
would be provided by an exami-
nation of the books and cost rec
ords of the steel companies by
Government accountants.
Under existing conditions and
to avoid possible delay, Eastman
said the Government was willing
to loan the necessary funds with
out such examination, if the
price for first quality rails is
reduced to $35.
If the steel companies will
not make this concession, the
Gov rnment will make the loans
only if the steel companies re-
file the new prices under the
code accompanied by a stipula-
ton that if the President, after

STAND
Struggle May Prove Test Of
Legality of Entire Set-up
For National Recovery
By International News Service

War between Henry Ford
and the United States Govern
ment, a war that can be settled
only in the courts, was seen to-
day as the outcome of the
motor manufacturers refusal
to embrace the Blue Eagle.
Castigation of Ford by Gen.
Hugh S. Johnson, Recovery Ad-
ministrator, and Ford's counter
charge that johnson was assum-
ing the prerogatives of "a dicta.
tor" made the issue clear.
The belief was general in
Washington that the courts will
have to decide it, and, incident
ally with it, the question of the
whole power of the Federal Gov
ernment under the NRA.
Roosevelt Backs johnson
President Roosevelt is backing
General Johnson. That was
made emphatic at the White
House. Johnson's decision that
until Ford comes under the
wings of the Blue Eagle, in name
as well as in fact, he is barred
from participation in Govern
ment contracts has the full sup
port of the President.
Several avenues through which
the issue may reach the courts
are open. Ford could sue the
Government to compel it to &C.
cept bids for equipment in cases
where he is the low bidder.
On the other hand, the Gov
ernment could instigate action
against Fo"d on concrete evil
dence" that he is violator Of
the National Industrial Recovery
Act. Johnson said he considered
Ford a violator, but admitted he
did not have concrete evidence"
of it.
Deadline Set
Still another way for the mat
ter to reach the courts would be
for Ford to refuse to supply the
information requested by the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber Of
Commerce, which is the code
authority in the automotive in
duStry.
This information was requested
of all motor manufacturers and
relates to hours, wages, condi-
tions of employment, production
costs, etc. Thus far Ford has not
supplied it.. A dead-line of No
vember has been set.
Unless the information is forth
coming, johnson declared, Ford
would be violating the code. And
armed with concrete evidence"
he said, he would turn the case
over to the Attorney General for
action.
The Administrations effort to
force Ford into open acceptance

There's no stopping necklines at

Up they go until they actually in
close the neck in soft folds.
They're lust another indication of
the beginning of a new era in flat

Manners and Morals
; BY JANE JORDAN :

If you haven't expressed your views on
the question under discussion, write your
letter now! Letters Of blame are lust as
welcome as letters of praise. Speak your
mind
Dear Jane Jordan-You encour-
aged mother to smoke and drink
to please her husband. Oh, may
God forbid and save her from this
nasty curse! I often think an old
SOW has more real love for her
offspring than a cigaret smoking
mother! You probably fail to see
how hard the devilish tobacco in
terests are trying to enslave all
our women, girls and boys to a
mighty dirty, stinkin' thing like
the cigaret.
The lowest moron can smoke
cigarets. Why should any one sell
their soul to these degraders of
our women, girls and boys? I sup
pose you will refuse to publish this
answer.
CHRISTIAN A. CLEMENS.
Answer-A word of explanation to
those who did not read the begin
ming of this discussion: Devoted
Wife and Mother" wrote that her
husband liked parties where cock
tails and cigarets were part of the
entertainment. Jane Jordan told her
that such things were Objectionable
only when used in excess.
The statement started small but
interesting war, with the opposition
led by Mrs. A. G. So far twelve let
tiers of approval and eight letters
OF disapproval have been received.
Excerpts from some of them ap-
pear today.
Dear Jane Jordan-May I ask
Mrs. A. G. why she reads your
column when she disapproves
SO heartily of your philosophy of
life? Could it be that she is hop
ing to find some spicy rejoinder on

Der of things which I think hold
this country back in cultural and
social development; extreme mar
row. mindedness, inability to think
things out while keeping an I'M
prejudiced viewpoint, unwilling
ness to face facts as they are,
and an old-fashioned tinnidity,
about discussing questions which
certainly need the light of COM
mon sense shed on them.
The main trouble is that your
column is too good for some of
your readers (and Mrs. A. G. OBJ
viously is constant reader, even
if she reads only to heckle you)
She had better stick to those who
give a sweet evasive answer, which
to the undiscerning sounds correct
whether it has any real meaning
or not.
I'm all for the honesty and
frankness which you show. I'm
glad some one has the courage to
print her honest view on subjects
which are brought to her atten-
ton, and the sincerity to try to
apply them to the problems of
real people.
