the United States had intervened in
Cuba by not recognizing the government
of President Ramon Grau San Martin.
He fiared up in the meeting with
"If Ambassador Welles' propagating a

Minister to Havana, is not intervention,
if upholding a minority group against

1OlDDRY CLEANERS
FACE PROSECUTION
Fifty Others, Called Before
Johnson, Agree to Com
ply With Code.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Machinery was set to work today BY
the N. r. A. to prosecute approximately
100 violators of the cleaning and dyeinf
trade code who have refused to comply
with the minimum price scales set fol
their respective areas.
The 100 are all that remain Of the
alleged violators who were called to
washington by Gen. Hugh S. johnson
administrator, to explain why they
would not meet the terms Of the re-
covery program. During the two-day
hearing, so other admitted violators
changed their attitude, under persua-
sion and the probability of prosecution
and agreed to meet the requirements.
The changes were announced last
night as N. r. A. made known it had
ordered eight more alleged code VIOLA
tors to surrender their Blue Eagle
insignia, and had cited w. E. Belcher
Centerville, Ala, lumberman, to the De-
partment Of Justice for prosecution on
charges of violating the wage and hour
provisions Of his code.
Enforcement Pledged.
A final warning to the dry cleaners
was given by Melvin Sims of the
compliance division, who told them the
fun resources Of the Government would
be put to the task of enforcing the
code and the price schedules.
Sims read to them also an account of
the restraining order issued Yesterday
by State court in Newark, N j.. for
bidding certain cleaners to charge
prices below the code minimums.
Prominent among the new complaints
was Bernard Shatkin of Philadelphia,
who Monday had shouted accusations
of bombing and gangsterism at his
rivals, and had insisted on sticking to
his low price. The rest were mostly
small units, scattered about the coun-
try. Charles F. Johnson of Jackson
vile, Fla, and E. H. McCorkle of Char
lotte, N. c., two men N. r. A. had
tried hard to convince, remained on the
list of violators.
Blue Eagles Taken.
The firms stripped of their Blue
Eagles were mostly restaurants. The
names announced were:
Samuel Angelo, Artistic Beauty Shop
Passaic, N ].
Gus Calios, Venice Cafe, Mason City
Iowa.
Mrs. Jack Reynolds, New Deal Cafe
Cincinnati.
George Taylor, Phillips Cafe, Wichita
John Berelos, Merchants Cafe, Kan
kakee, Ills
Louis Gout, Elite Cafe, Tampa. Fla.
John Vratis, Dolphin Grill. Austin
Tex
Blanche Bolt, Cove House, Evanston
III.
The latter had already removed heI
eagle and was not making any attempi
to comply. N. r. A. said she did not
expect to comply with the restaurant
code when approved unless its hours
and wages suited her better. 1t added
that she was paying mattresses nc
wages.
The rest were charged with under
payment or excessive hours.

not to our diScredit that we

PRICE COLLAPSE

Grain Leaders Called to Capt.
tai As Wallace Seeks to
End FIuCtuation
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
Wildly careening stock ana
commodity markets, striking at
the Administrations program for
an orderly increase in domestic
price levels, today brought dra.
matte developments.
In an action probably without
precedent, Secretary of Agricui-
ture Wallace hurriedly summoned
leaders of the grain trade for a
conference Monday to discuss
wheat prices. He hopes to Sc.
cure an agreement under which
violent price fluctuations will be
prevented.
Critical Situation Seen
Wallace invited officials of ths
grain exchanges and spokesmen
for grain futures operations to
attend, along with elevator men,
shippers and exporters, milleES
and bakers.
The meeting will be held be.
hind closed doors.
Although Mr.. Roosevelt sought
to minimize the effects Of the
stock market crash on his many
sided recovery program, George
N. Peek, farm act administrator,
declared that the simultaneous
crash in grain prices admittedly
has brought about a critical sit
uation"
Administration leaders generally
made no secret of their concern
over the speculative mania which
drove stocks and commodities
upward at record speed and then
brought values down in tailSpin
reminiscent of October, 1929.
Futures Holiday Proposed.
Among the remedial measures
actively discussed in official cir
cles were:
/. A lengthy "hOliday" on
futures sales, applying both to
the grain exchanges and the
stock market.
2. Licensing of brokers and
uCdACES ~ DAAAS LAC CACA1ESVS
under Federal control.
3. An immediate investigation
by the Senate Bank and Cur.
rency Committee to fix reSpOn-
sibility for speculative exceSSeS.
Belief grew in we'll informed
circles that actual initiation OF
the currency will be resorted to
if commodity prices show further
recession. So far, it was pointed
out, Mr.. Roosevelt has used none
of the drastic inflationary powers
granted by Congress, other than
to permit -. relatively small open
market purchase of Government
sec,"it.e3 by the Federal Reserve
Banks.
