NEW YORK, Oct. 18. U.P)-An
additional damper to any initiation
hopes contained in Washington re-
ports that sound money likely would
be the basis of the nations none
tary policy, brought pressure into
the stock market today.

the forepart of the session, the mar
ket speeded up and was touching
lows at the close after the United
States dollar had turned from early
weakness to strength. At the lows
stock prices ranged from to more
than points lower.
The lower stock prices came in
face of continued advance in

price since May, while lead also
dropped. Steel ingot production was
down points, petroleum output
increased and the increase in elec-
trio power production was less than
in recent weeks.
Bonds turned lower in the late
trading.
U. S. Smelling was under the
most pressure and lost more than 6
points. Close behind it came Ma
tional Distillers with almost points
loss. Elsewhere III the list losses OF
2 to points were common.
United States Steel was pushed
down throughout the session, MAIN
ly on the Iron Age report showing
ingot production down S points. This
one time leader fell below 38.
Motor shares could not hold well,
with Chrysler leading this group
with loss of almost points.
Oils weakened under pressure
with Standard of California down
more than 2 points, as was Seaboard
of Delaware. Johns Manville and
Celanese, both favoriteS for group
operations recently, were sold with
the former losing more than 3 points
and the latter more than 2 points.
Sales today apropximated 1,730,-
900 shares as against 2,480, 900 shares
yesterday. Curb sales totaled $4,000
shares as against 324 900 shares yes

LABOR BOARD
IN DIFFICULTY.
BY JULIUS FRANDSEN
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct 10. U.P) -
The national labor board today ran
into difficulties in its first meeting
arranged in an effort to settle dis
putes between the Ford Motor COM
pany and striking employees.
Chairman Robert F. Wagner of
the board announced that mana
gers of the Ford plant at Edgewa-
ter, N. j., had gone to a meeting
in Newark, arranged by the labor
board, but had expressed doubt of
their authority to confer with rep
resentatives of the strikers there.
Wagner made public the text of
telegram received from the Ford
company Oct. 16 in which it denied
that it had ever refused to deal
with Representatives of its workers
and had never Disseminated
against them because of union
membership.
The Ford company in its tele-
gram said that while reserving it's
"full constitutional rights it de-
sired to give the board "any rea-
sonable information requested.
Wagner said the board was graft
fled by this attitude and "has rea-
son to expect results from the
conference today in Newark.
While seeking to iron out the
Ford situation. the labor board ran
up against difficulties in another
section of the automobile industry.
William S. Knudsen, executive vice
president of General Motors, and
Alvin McCauley, president of the
Packard company, failed to appear
at a hearing held by the board on
the strike of automobile tool and
die makers The board last week
requested their presence at the
hearing.

SEEKS
REASONS FOR
CANAL DELAY

In response to a telegram dis
patched yesterday to Phil D. Swing
and F. w. Greer, representing the
district in Washington in negotia-
tions to bring about inclusion of the
All-American canal project on the
public works program, Greer tele-
graphed today that he would be
home early next week to inform the
board personally of the reasons for
delay at the capital.
The board telegraphed that its
members were deeply concerned
over the turn of events since ind-
cations showed negotiations in the
throes of a blockade which had
been in force for the last two weeks.
The board inquired whether the
blockade was impregnable and if
there was possibility for a con-
tinuation of departmental ilibis and
delays while various officials sought
information which already was at
hand
Greer replied that he repeatedly
had made suggestions for breaking
the deadlock but his suggestions had
not met with the approval of the
board and he did not wish to pro-
ceed without that approval.
"The project at present is in the
hands of Harold Ickes, public works
administrator he said. He also
said the state department was send
ing letter to Ickes today which
was promised last week and would
reach him tomorrow.
He also said he had remained in
Washington on account of valley
farm loans, and said he had re-
ceived promise that general bank
loans as well as emergency loans
will start not later than November
10. The long awaited Berkeley re-
port was received in substance but
will not be placed on Morgenthau's
desk until November l.

Sales tax administrators throughout
California today were prepared to
file civil and criminal complaints
against retailers who are not Ii
censed or failed to make a return

BY EARL b. STEELE

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 18.-Sena-
tor Huey Longs book of memoirs,
Every Man A King, was circulated
here today, and revealed for the
first time that the "kingfish" be-
longs in the small group of immor-
tails who saw the depression coming
before it arrived.
The first consignment of the Long
opus contained $500 copies.
They have not yet been made
available to the public. The title
page revealed the publisher as the
National Book company, of New
Orleans, heretofore unknown con-
Germ. Previous reports said printers
in New York, Philadelphia, and
Baltimore refused the manuscript.
Writing of the depression, Long
said:
IT have predicted many of the
consequences years before they oc-
Cured. On October %, 1929, I
was standing in a hotel lobby. R. H.
Hecht, president of Sthe Hibernia
bank, came up to me and said:
Governor, all hell's broke loose. It's
the biggest crash yet. It will take
six weeks to get over it, replied it
would take many years, that this
was the collapse"
Longs muse was most eloquent
when he envisioned the day when
wealth Is redistributed.
Then no tear-dimmed eyes of a
small child will be lifted into the
saddened face of father and mo-
ther unable to give it the necessities
of life; then the powerful will be re-
buked in the sight of man for hold
ing that which they cannot con-
sumo, but which is craved to sus-
tain humanity The powerful
will be elated by the well-being of
all, rather than through their own
greed. Then those of us who have
pursued that phantom of Jefferson,
Jackson, Webster, Theodore Roose-
velt and Bryan may hear waited
from their lips in Valhalla: Every

W|GG|N ADMITS
HUGE PROFITS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18. UP)-
Albert H. Wiggin, 100000 year
retired head OF the Chase Ma
tional bank who drew $1,367 900 in
salary and bonuses in five and
one-half years, was shown today by
senate stock market investigators
to have recommended reductions
in wages of industrial labor in 1881
just 13 days after his own salary
had been raised from $218,000 a
year to $25O,000.
Wiggin received from the bank
an additional $4,000 in 1881 as a
bonus on the 1880 business OF the
bank, bringing his income from the
bank in 1881 to $320,000.
Ferdinand Pecora, committee
counsel, read to Wiggin his annual
report for 1890 in which he stated
that "high wages do not make
prosperity and suggested that
''many industries can ask their Ia
Dor to accept moderate reductions
of wages to decrease costs and I'M
prove the buying power of labor. -
The lawyer showed that Wiggin s
salary of $218,0OO for 1880 was in
creased to $250,000 in 1881.
"Do you think under the eco
nomic circumstances existing at the
time that the salaries of executive
officers of the Chase bank should
have been substantially increased
in 1890, as they seem to have
been?D Pecora asked
"That was my conviction at the
time I wrote that report Wiggin
said, pointing out that the report
was dated January 13, 1881.
"Were there any reductions in
the salaries of your officers in
1922 asked Chairman Fletcher.
~ don It know Wiggin replied.

cent or less is expended for transporta-
tion, taxes, insurance and miscellaneous
items. OF the amount expended for
materials and shipment. four-fifths Of
such expenditures are for labor. This,
added to the 40 per cent expended at
the shipyard. makes q grand total Of
more than 30 per cent Of all ship
building costs that goes directly for
the payment Of labor.
Sum Really Not Great.
To the uninitiated the expenditures
OF $238.000. 900 for new construction
may sound an imposing figure; but what
does 1t actually represent in ships?
Thirty-seven in all. Add this number
to the 40 ships We have built since the
Washington conference in 1921 and We
reach total figure OF II built and
projected. Compare that with what the
other naval powers have already con-
structed since the signing Of the WASH
ington treaty-Great Britain l48, ia
pan 164. France 1875 and Italy IA.
One hears criticisms of our present
naval building policy. We are told that
1t Is Of paramount importance to the
success Of the Limitations of Arms Con-
ference at Geneva to postpone the
building of certain of the projected
ships. We are warned that our build
ing program might set Q bad example
to the other naval powers and might
encourage another naval race. How
lnjustif1ed Is this assertion can be seen
from the fact that by 1886 when our

same time. Your ship Is also . team
and this little team misses the absence
Of q man from battle station as much
as the big navy team misses . ship
We must have the Navy up to strength
in personnel at all times and we must
keep that personnel in training. The
youth of our country will respond in
numbers In the event of q national
emergency and can be trained as fairly
good tnfantrymen in three months, but
it takes years to turn out an efncient
sailorman. capable Of properly handling
the highly technical instruments Of a
modern man-of-war. He must be
trained In time Of peace or he can't
make the team in time of war.
A Navy cannot be improvised. The
ships must be carefully built; the per-
sonnel carefully and intensively trained
and the building of ships and training
OF men can only be done in times of
peace. After war is declared it Is too
late. We must. therefore. build our
ships and train our men now so as to
provide the insurance to our country
that our people expect and have right
to demand.
