REP KELLY LEADS FIGHT TO MAKE NRA RULE PERkANEN
CooperBank Case
Is Delayed By
Illness

Discrepancies between the state
ments of two bank examiners
who went over United States
Savings Banks schedules seven
months apart, were attacked to-
day as Col. Wade H. Cooper,
president and majority stock
holder resumed his District OF
Columbia Supreme Court fight
to compel the Treasury to re-
open the bank.
The hearing was postponed I'M
til Monday because of illness OF
w. Bissell Thomas, Of Cooper'S
legal staff at the noon recess
when Thomas announced that
he could carry on no longer.
Wading through a mass OF
figures, Thomas and his CO
counsel, John w. Staggers,
brought out an examination by
w. M. Taylor in March and an
other by R. o. Bishop, last month,
showed a difference of $4,000
in the deficits.
It was also shown that Bishop
had rated the assets of the insti-
tuition $4,000 more than Taylor.
There were but little variance,
however, in the total amount of
available assets. Both examiners
had followed the Treasury policy
requiring statements of closed
banks to show virtually a 100
per cent liquidity on reopening.
The bugbear of all suitors
against Government agencies was
raised again when Justice Bailey
told Cooper's counsel and Treas
ury Attorney George P. Barse to
file briefs Monday on the ques-
ton of whether the court can
interfere with the exercise Of the
discretionary authority Of the
Comptroller in withholding the
banks reopening license,

Bic RELIEF FUND.
JUST A START,
SAYS |CKES
$4OO, 100000 to Provide Jobs
May Be Far Exceeded;
Speedy Action Mapped

Federal plans for quick employ
ment of 100000 men may go
far beyond the present scope of
the $4OO, 100000 public works al
lotment, it was revealed today
as Harry L. Hopkins. Federal Re
lief Administrator, was decentral-
izing the huge organization nee
esSary to put the plan in effect.
Secretary of Interior Ickes,
who made the allotment, said it
was "only the first installment,"
and indicated it might be sew
eral times the original amount.
President Roosevelt already has
forecast a request to Congress
for more public works funds.
Local Projects Pushed
What the effect will be was
not practicable, as Congressman
continued to storm the offices
of the Federal Relief AdminiStra-
ton in behalf Of their local
projects.
Fear was evident the new set
up would jeopardize pet plans
which are already pending be-
fore Ickes and which have been
nursed along, only to face this
new obstacle.
Ickes and Hopkins acted to
head off any such situation.
Hopkins said he was decentraliz-
ing his own agency, so applica-
tons would be received first in
the State and local branches.
Speed is Chief Aim
It is supposed to supplement
the "heavy" program of public
works, with it's contracts and
other safeguards, with the Sec
ondary one Of the Civil Works
Administration which will fur
nish immediate light employment
in the communities.
No contracts or State restric-
lions will hinder while the main
program is getting under way.
Hopkins emphazied the "quick
action" phase of his plan He said
Fright now the States and
communities have wOrk-relief
divisions in their relief offices.
approximately 100000 people
are working under them. These
same executives will be put in
charge of the civil works pro-
gram and Immediately put pro-
jectS under way.

PARLEY
ASKS IMPORTS,
Low TAXES
Liberal Issuance of DistiIIing
Permits Planned as U. S.
Develops Policy 1,

Formation Of an orderly liquor
control program, to become OPP
erative Immediately, got under
way today in the hands Of an
interde p artmental committee
working directly under President
Roosevelt.
Representatives of the State,
Justice, Treasury, Agriculture and
Commerce Departments formed
the new body. They laid a policy
groundwork for control in an
initial three-hour conference with
the President. Further meetings
will be held next week.
Import Regulation Lifted
Lifting of whisky import regu-
lation and liberal issuance Of
distillery licenses pending ef-
fective repeal on December 5
will be the first results Of the
committees work.
Attorney General Cummings
said it was planned to allow ap-
proximately 100000 gallons Of
liquor to be imported before that
date. This quantity, he added, Is
necessary to maintain medicinal
stores, as many diStillerS are hold
ing their stores for higher prices.
After repeal, the policy pursued
will favor domestic manufacturers
in every way possible.
With -
control program, discussion in
the conference centered on opera.
ton of an NRA code to govern
brewers, diStillers, and the retail
trade. Cummings explained such
course would give the Admins
tration firm grasp on the manu-.
facturer and distributor.
Tax Rate in Doubt
The question Of a domestic tax
rate on liquor was considered at
the initial conference, but moth.
ing definite was decided. A
House Ways and Means subcom-
mittee was to go into this prob
lem today.
Cummings expressed the gen.
eral opinion that when a tax
was worked out, it would not be
so high as to make bootlegging
profitable.
Senator Harrison (D.) Of Miss
issippi, chairman Of the Senate
Finance Committee, said:
"Our aim should be to get as
much revenue as possible with
out encouraging the existence Of
the bOOtIegger and the evils Of
the present day"
Members Of the House and
Senate expressed the feeling that
the tax should be such as to allow
a good grade of liquor to be sold
at about $3.50 or 50 a quart. They
indicated a maximum tax Of $3.50
or SO per gallon.

The United States Chamber Of

to guarantee a nationwide build.
ing boom to put 100000 persons
back to work in this basic indus

War Council Charged
His charge followed revelation
yesterday that a letter is being
circulated among members OF
unions affiliated with the build.
ing trades division of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, in which
workers were informed a "war
council" had been formed to fight
the code proposed by the Con.
Structlon League of America.
Harriman'S letter read in part.
An issue has arisen with
respect to the general code for
the construction industry, This
issue is of direct Importance
to every community which de.
SlreS to have private cOnstruc.
ton go forward.
"The general code contains
the customary provision for a
minimum wage for all workers
in construction. Since the code
has reached an advanced state
IN its preparation for approval,
proposals have been inSiStently
urged in the labor interest that
to the usual provision for a
minimum wage in the industry
there should be added a mini.
mum for skilled workers.
COMMUNITIES CONCERNED
Acceptance of these pro-
fOsals would undoubtedly mean
there will be proposals that in
supplementary codes for the
different branches of the con.
StructiOn industry there should
be inserted rates of wage for
every craft and occupation.
Communities which have
been looking forward to revival
Of private construction, and
which would find in these
proposals with respect to wages

No other goods may be displayed
nor sold.
SpeakeaSies Doomed
Speakeasies are also apparently
doomed, unless they can convince
the licensing officials they are
bona fide restaurants, containing
full restaurant equipment, able
to serve meals and deriving
most of their profits from food
sales.
Fairly stiff license fees are set
for the interim period to April
/, when the legislature may make
such revision Of the rules as it
sees fit. Hotels, clubs, and res
taurants in cities over one mil
lion population must pay a $500

than one million, $500: elsewhere,
$3.50.

Wholesalers licenses will be
$500 and distillers' $4,000.
Wine license fees for the same
period range from $166.67 for
manufacturers to $66.67 for res

P. D. CONTRACT
. FIGHT HALTED

Long awaited, the court battle
ever the legality Of forcing con-
tractors to sign President Roose-
velt's MIRA unemployment agree
ment as a requirement to receiv-
ing a public works administration
contract was put off indefinitely
today by Justice Jesse c. Adkins
in District Supreme Court.
Satisfied with a ruling made
yesterday by Comptroller General
John R. McCarl in the case, the
George F. Driscoll Company with
drew its motion for a temporary
Injunction against Secretary Of
the Treasury William H. Woodin
to restrain him from awarding a
$4,000 contract for building q
postoffice annex in New York to
anyone but the Driscoll Company.
The Comptroller's ruling was
to the effect that the Treasury
Department could award the con-
tract to the Driscoll Company,
despite the fact it had not signed
the unemployment agreement at
the time bids for the contract
were submitted.
Counsel for the company an.
nounced to Justice Adkins that
in the face of the Comptroller's
ruling. it desired to withdraw its
motion for the injunction and
defer action on its complaint in
definitely.
Assistant United States Attor-
1ey John w. Fihelly opposed the
withdrawal, insisting the case
would continue to hang like a
scarecrow" unless it was settled
on its merits, but his argument
was fruitless.

$4,000 PICS BUT
No BUYERS

CHICAGO, Nov. 10 G.N.S).
Twenty-seven thousand pigs went
to market today, but not a
single porker was either sold or
bought in the Chicago market,
the worlds largest livestock ex-
change.
The unprecedented deadlock
was brought about by a conflict
between sellers and buyers, who
failed to reach an agreement on
price schedules.
Buyers refused to meet the

tending they cannot break even
in the face Of a so cent process
ing tax, put into effect early this
week.
The fresh supply Of hogs today
was $1,000, which was 5000 more
than was expected. Out of this
number the big packers had IT,
900 direct from the farmers,
which put them in a strategic
position and practically independ-
ent OF the regular market.
