SEEK SOURCE
Of LEAKS ON
COLD PRICES
Foreign Traders And Specula-
tors Making Large Profits On
Advance Tips.
TREASURY MAKING TESTS
Quotation Known In London
Several Minutes Before Ar
rival In New York Market.
By RICHARD L. GRlDLEY
U. r. Financial Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. - Trea-
sury officials have started an in
vestigation, it was learned today,
into alleged leaks" of the govern
ment's daily domestic gold price
which have given foreign exchange
traders and spectators opportunity
to gather large profits.
Although the treasury announces
its domestic gold buying price at
9:45 a. m. daily to the press, COM
plants have been received by trea-
sury officials that the price is avail
able in London several minutes be-
fore its release to the press in
Washington.
Last week, one news service, re-
ported the gold price was cabled
back to New York from London
eight minutes before its release in
Washington.
Another service reported the price
was available in London four min
utes before it was received by cable
from Washington, although the
cable transmission took less than
one minute.
Treasury officials in continuing
their investigation into the source
of the alleged leaks" said today
that Washington is the only place
at which the price is announced
simultaneously with its release to
the press at the treasury the price
is wired to the federal reserve bank
of New York on the treasury COM
munication wires.
Several tests are known to have
been made by treasury officials in
an effort to discover the source OF
the alleged leak but SO far no EVIL
dence has been uncovered.
Fixed Each Morning
The daily gold price is fixed each
morning by acting Secretary Of
Treasury Morgenthau, Jesse Jones,
chairman of the reconstruction fin
ance corporation, and Earle Bailie,
assistant to Morgenthau.
Treasury officials refused to re-
veal how many persons have know
ledge of the price before it is re-
leased
The gold buying program of the
government for which the domestic
price is fixed, was inaugurated
nearly two months ago carrying out
the administrations dollar depre-
citation program. 1t was hoped that
the depreciation of the dollar would
touch off inflationary buying OF
commodities and in turn force rise
in prices.
Because of the Importance of the
gold buying price on foreign eX-
change currency fluctuations of all
countries, foreign exchange specu-
lators and traders would have an i'm
portant opportunity to garner large
profits if they had advance infor-

WARNING FOR
LIQUOR TRADE
Industry Told 1t Must Live Up
To Provisions Of Codes Drawn
For 1t.
BY DUANE WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. The
liquor industry was warned To-Day
that if it fails to live up to provi-
sions of various AAA liquor codes
and agreements, the Federal Alec
hol Control Administration reluc-
family will intervene on behalf of
consumers to drive out bootleggers.
The government will maintain a
hands off" policy so long as the
industry keeps its house in order,
Joseph H. Choate, Jr., chairman O.
tie FACA said.
Farm administration codes for
liquor wholesalers and rectifiers
were signed today by the President.
At the same time, diStille"s signed
the marketing agreement for Their
industry which later today was 10
be signed by Secretary Wallace.
This completes all important
codes for the contr,' of liquor, ex-
cept the wine producers code and
marketing agreement which yester-
day was set for public hearing by
the AAA December Is.
Croate believes the codes con-
tain sufficient regulatory provisions
that it will not be necessary tor
the FACA to police the business.
In event. however, the industry
fails to "clean house." he said, the
government will step in. Prices
and value of production will be
controlled Unfair trade practices
will be eliminated.
Should the government be called
upon to assume charge of the in
dustry it would protect the con-
sumner through price control. The
industry would be protected through
production control and elimination
of unfair trade practices.
The FACA kept clear OF the Ii
quor tax fight. Only if requested
by congress to do SO, will his Or
ganization recommend tax levels,
Choate said.
High liquor prices certainly do"
come within the category OF mat
tiers on which the industry must
"clcan house." he said. He said
retail prices was a problem for the
individual states to consider. TIE
government will not interfere in
state problems, he added.

CHILD LABOR
NEARING END
Adoption Of NRA Codes Said
To Have Released $4,000
Children From Work.
BY FREDERICK c. OTHMAN
limited preSS StaFf Eorroepapder


United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Dec. Best es-
Inmates indicate that Gen. John
sons blue eagle has taken some Co..
900 American children out of indus
try and returned them to schools
and Fairgrounds.
The motherly heads Of the United
States children's bureau claim that
the general in a few weeks has
achieved what they have been seek
ing for years.
Every time he signs one of his
codes, child labor goes out of that
particular industry.
None of the boys and girls who
used to make artificial flowers,
mems garterS, umbrellas, corsets,
Knit gloves and hundreds of ether
articles have jobs anymore.
Many of them complained when
work was taken from them. The
childrens bureau prevailed upon
the federal emergency relief admin
istration to see that their parents
were given jobs instead.
Abolition of child labor is near
er accomplishment today than ever
before" said Mrs. Clara M. Boyer,
who is associated with Miss Grace
Abbott in administering the bu-
reau. THE NRA has adopted the
principle that a 16year-old mini
mum age for full time employment
should prevail throughout industry.
More than 100 codes now pro-
hibit child labor
Mrs. Boyer and her associates
now are worrying over children who
are being hired by thousands of
housewives. These women pay their
juvenile servants fractional wages
and sometimes turn them into
slaves.
There is no code for domestics.
There should be, according 70 the
children's bureau Wisconsin auth
critics once threatened to arrest
slave driving housewives.

vote
Decision to hold the vote was
reached after a motion by Ira Ate,:
seconded by Mark Rose, that F.. w.
Greer be sent to Washington by tie
district to discover what the situ-
Gtion was there in regard to tue
construction of TIE canal by force
account was lost when Director
HeWes and Yonug opposed, while
Rose and Aten supported it.
When opening this morning S
meeting, HeWes stated that he had
checked over the list of signerS 70
the petition placed before him yes
terday. Picking out many Of these
names at random, he said, he asked
these persons would they still be
in favor of this movement if 1t
should in any way delay the canal
construction and they all answered
him in the negative. Others told
him that they believed the board
of directors was best qualified to
Judge in matters such as this and
were willing to leave things to the
judgment of the board members.
Second Motion Lost
Carl Brown, spokesman for rne
delegation present, called upon
delegates from different sections CT
the county to state whether they
felt this question should be put to
a vote of the board members today
or not.
At this juncture Mark Rose
stated that he thought the whole
matter should be Eeld over until
later that vote on the question
should not be held today as he
thought other directors might
change their minds if their deci-
sion were not put on record at
present. Ira Aten concurred with
Rose IL tnis stating that he thought
1t would be better to wait until az
er Mondays meeting when there
might be a change of sentiment II

Brown and others in the room,
however, insisted that a vote be
taken by the board today.
1t was then suggested that F. w.
Greer be sent back to Washington
by the board for the purpose OF
putting the question before the
President and ascertaining what the
situation was there relative to this
proposition. A vote of those pres
ent was called for and majority
approving the proposal it was put
before the board through a motion
made by Aten and seconded by
Rose. The motion was lost When
it failed to receive majority vote.

"Whew," said Santa. "Those

Among the citations which COM

following from the Bible: Know

in thine, heart, that the Lord he is
God in heaven above, and upon the

Health with key to the Scriptures"
by Mary Baker Eddy: II God, the,
all-in-all, be the creator of the spir-
itual universe, including man, then
everything entitled to a classification
as truth, or Science, must be COM
prised in a knowledge or under
