NY. TRADE UNION NEWS
Balk ALL. Attempt
To Gust JobleSS
From Metal Union
Rank and File Vote
$4,000 Dues for
Unemployed

NEW YORK.-The special meeting
which the rank and file forced the
officials of the Sheet and Metal
Workers Local % CA. F. of IL to
call for last Monday night, at Web
ster Hall, resulted in the membership
voting almost unanimously to borrow
5000 from the locals funds to pay
the dues of unemployed members.
The only votes against the motion
were five of the old corrupt admin
istration.
The meeting Monday came as a
result of the locals president, Mad
docks action at a meeting last
Thursday night. He then declared
that the orders Of the International
heads, in letter to the union, said
the locals bonding company refused
to permit funds to pay the dues of
the unemployed The letter prac-
tically spelled expulsion for the I'M
employed Maddox also refused to
allow the letter to be read, and
quickly adjourned the meeting at
that time amidst the boos of the
membership.
Maddox was obviously afraid to
come TO Mondays meeting. Several
who favored ousting the unemployed
we're forced to speak for the payment
Of the dues because of the strong
sentiment for such action in the
ranks of the members
1t is worth noting that two Social
ist secretaries, Julius Gerber, secre-
tary of the City Committee of the
Socialist Party, and Joseph Tuvim,
secretary Of the Labor Committee
Of the Socialists, were not present at
either Mondays or Thursdays meet
ing. The attack on the unemployed
was known to both of them.
The reason for their staying away
was also obvious to many members.
Both are in favor OF the wholesale
expulsion policy of the International
officials. To avoid taking the side of
these officials and stirring up the
membership against them, they dis
creetly avoided the meetings.

STOCKS STRONG
At CLOSE

NEW YORK, June "a GN.S0.
The stock market closed with a
rally today after following a
highly irregular and selective
course most of the session.
Another bullish demonstration
in wheat and cotton, which sent
these principal staples to new
highs for the year, finally pre-
vailed over profit-taking and
weekend evening up after yester-
days late uprush.
A rush of buying in the motors
and aviation shares turned the
list upward as the session wore
to a close. The rally broadened
in the final dealings with the
steelS, textiles, farm stocks and
rails joining the recovery.
Leaders like American Tele-
phone, Du Pont, American Can
and Allied Chemical likewise
shook off early sluggishneSs and
the whole list displayed a strong
tone.
Trading turned active on the
upside, in sharp contrast to the
previous apathy, and the high
sped ,iGker fell behind.

PARIS, June "a U.N.SD.-Ad.
mission that Mrs. Aimee Semple
Mcpherson Hutton underwent an
operation several days ago was
made tonight by Mrs. Charles
Bove, wife of the operating physi-
clan. She said:
DR.. BOve operated on Mrs.
Hutton at the American Hos
pital several days ago."
Denied BY Hospital
Officials of the American Hos
pital at Neuilly just outside of
Paris previously had issued a for
NAL denial that Mrs. Hutton had
been operated on or had been a
patient there.
Mrs. Bove declared:
II can say she did not have
a baby"
This was a reference to the
mysterious telegram, now believed
to have been a hoax, received in
Los Angeles by Mrs. Hutton's hus-
band, David Hutton, jr., inform
ing him he was the father" of a

Hull Defends u. S. Price-Boosting Policy
Gen. johnson
Bans Child
Workers

Child laUbor will be barred
from the textile industry, Brig.
Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, recovery
administrator, made known today.
He also will oppose the so-called
"stretch-out system" in the textile
mills, and a similar feature IN
other industries, it became
known.
Presented with the problem Of
child labor in the textile industry
when its code comes before him
for hearing next week, johnson
first indicated his belief to ad-
viSers, it is understood, that the
minimum wage prescribed for that
group would automatically ban
child labor.
He reasoned that no mill would
pay a minimum wage Of $40 or
$11 per week to children when 1t
could employ adult workers for
the same wage. If this does not
definitely ban child labor, how
ever, he has indicated positively
that he will insist that it be pro-
hibited in the textile code.
The stretch-out system, under
which mills assign additional
numbers of looms to each oper-
ator to watch, in order to exact
more work from its operatives,
will be blocked also, in the code.
johnson, it is understood, will
exact a provision that no worker
can be given mechanical duties
additional to those he normally
would perform.

Brandon, his manager, said:
"It's ridiculous. My wife
would have let me know about
this long ago, and besides, I
know that such a thing Is out
Of the question:"
Prank Is Suspected
A college students prank was
suspected in the sending of a
cablegram to David Hutton, jr.,
Aimee's husband, informing him
he is the father" of a nine-pound
son.
The cablegram was dispatched
from a telegraph booth in the
offices Of the American Express
Company by a woman supposed
to have identified herself as

{ EVIDENCE
OFFERED
JURY ON
MONDAY
Ex-0fficiaIs and Depositors
Under Probe; Check Kiting'
Seen at Mt. Vernon

Aiming to secure indict-
ments against four persons as
the result of the $1,700,00O
shortage at the Park Savings
Bank, United States Attorney
Leo A. Rover today announced
the case will be presented be-
fore the District Grand Jury
on Monday.
At the same time Rover re-.
vealed that a case involving q
shortage Of $5,626 at the Mt. ver.
non Savings Bank has already
been presented to the jury. s.
The four involved in the PARK
Savings Bank shortage, it is I'm.
SderstOod, are a former member Of
the Treasury Department, a 4brS
mer employe Of the bank, and two
Of it's depositors. The District At.
torney will seek indictments for
conspiracy to embezzle funds Of
the bank.
President a Witness
Principal among the witnesses
to be called before the jury in the
case are E. c. Sauer, accountant
Of the Deperament Of Justice; A.
F. Jorss, President Of the Park
Savings bank, and Mrs. Emily
Downing, head bookkeeper.
Rover declared the major por-
ton Of the banks shortage re-
suited from bad loans in transac-
tions not subject to criminal
prosecution.
The investigation by the De-
partment of Justice, it is under.
stood, uncovered evidence to show
that some customers of the bank
were credited for deposits never
made and that some notes posted
as collateral for loans were can.
celled before the loans were paid.
Still Being PrObed
The District Attorney also said
that another phase in connection
with the shortage involving a for
mer employee of the bank was
still under investigation and in
dictments against him would be
sought later.
The bank shortage was re-
vealed following an investigation
which started after Robert StunZ,
vice president and executive off.
GER, committed suicide in March.
The case involving the Mount
Vernon Bank shortage was a sur
prise, as no hint had been drop
ped regarding an investigation at
the bank. Indictments in this
case are being sought against two
persons connected with the bank
and one depositor.
The case was presented by AS
sistant Attorney Charles Murray
and involving an incident Of
"check kiting" deficiency of bank
funds.

WET LEADERS
COMBAT RUM
MONOPOLY
One Holding Company Said to
Have Control of Half Distil-
IerieS in the Country
BY WILLIAM s. NEAL
Copyright, 1888, by International
News Service. Incl

Charges that a group OF
financiers are seeking a virtual
monopoly of whisky production
in the United States in antici-
patton of prohibition repeal
may be laid before Attorney
General Homer Cummings in
the near future, it was revealed
today.
The Attorney General would
be asked to determine whether
there is a violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law and also fur
niSh information to Congress for
regulatory legislation.
Consider ALLEGATION
One holding company, it was
learned on high authority, has
obtained control of SIS per cent
Of the distillery capacity in the
country. Recently one of the
largest preprohibition distilleries,
with one-fifth the nations
capacity, was added to the group.
The congressional "wet" leaders
studying the situation are con-
sidering legislation to allocate
whisky production throughout
the country after repeal as a
means of preventing monopoly.
Another possible avenue Of
action, it was pointed out, would
be the exercise by President
Roosevelt of his licensing power
under the national recovery act.
Representative Emanuel Celler
CD of New York, a leader in
the antiprohibition fight in Con-
gress, said:
Whisky Shortage
'T know that an effort is
being made to create a mo-
nOpOly in whisky production
and the vets Of Congress will
not stand for it.
81 am prepared to go be-
fore the Attorney General and
demand action for violation Of
the Sherman antitrust law
the minute it is justified"
Cellar said that less than TO-
OOO, 900 gallons of whisky are in
bond now for medicinal use.
Prohibition Commissioner Doran
is expected to issue permits in
the fall Cor the manufacture Of
100000 more gallons, but this
must be aged four years.

Cardinal 0'Connell, Return

President.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, March 31.-William Cardi-
nal O'Connell returned to Boston from
a vacation in the Bahamas today prais-
ing President Roo3evelt as a "God-sent
man."
Il hope God gives him health, he
has everything e,se," Cardinal O'Connell
said of the President.
Discusses Current Events.
The dean of the Roman Catholic
Hierarchy in America, looking hale and
hearty at IA, discussed many current
events.
When told of the bomb explosion in
Father Charles f. Coughlin's home in
Detroit he said. "That is too bad"
Of Father Coughlin, himself, he re-
marked:
"a priest has his place in America.
That place is respected and honored
1t is better for every one concerned
when a priest keeps his place"
In lauding President Roosevelt, Cardi-
nal O'Connell said:
Since Mr.. Roosevelt took Office, there
seems to be a wonderful unanimity OF
action, not cnly in Congress but
throughout the country in every walk
of life.
II do not like to enter into any po-
litical discussion, but it seems President
Roosevelt is God-sent man, the very
essence of Democracy. 1t is apparent
he is not a self-seeker.
HE would probably be glad to rest
rather than take on the problems OF
the day, but his energy is something at
which to marvel
II hope God gives him health, for he
has everything else. He has shown re-
markable courage in facing abuses, not
with his tongue in his cheek, but with
the courage we have needed so long.
