Date of Chamber of Commerce Attack Very Historic One for Present Ne,u Deal, Price Claims
By BYRON PRICE (Chief Of Bureau, The Associated Press, WashingtOn.)

When history searches for a date to mark the beginning of or ganized counter precautionary eff fort against the Roosevelt indus trial order, it may well be that Nov. IS, 1883, will emerge as ful- filling the requirements.
 On that day the directors of the Chamber of Commerce of the Unit ed States fired a shot which they hoped would be heard round the world. They asked for an end to currency experimentation, for less MIRA control of business and for less government competition with business.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1933-12-02

The significance of that action appears only when it is realized that the board which adopted these resolutions could make an impressive claim to speaking for the industrial wealth of the Unit ed States. Virtually without ex- ception the great corporations and groups of corporations have their spokesmen on the board.
 Of course the action of Nov. 1S merely gave a voice to more-or- less subued murmurings whi c h had been in progress for some time. And that is just the point; the murmurings now give way to articulations, hesitation to action

Washington did not doubt for a moment the earnestness of the Presidents utterance. Nor that it was a deliberate and studied statement. There was skepticism in New York, where one financial wf.-8r even suggested that MT. Roosevelt may have been joking.
 Knowledge of what he still has in mind for the future hardly in dicates that he was joking. His advisers foresee the day when the name "tory" will be looked back upon as very mild expression of MT. Roosevelt's opinion Of those big and once powerful business in- terests which stand in his way.

TINE new grand slam premium
Il has done a great deal to in
crease the number Of grand slams
being bid for at rubber play. One
is justified now in bidding for a
grand slam even if it depends upon
a finesse to make it.
However, Mrs. Margaret A. Kat
zen Of Pittsburgh, in a recent rub
Der game. found that not only was
II necessary for her to win a
finesee but also to execute a neat
squeeze play in order to make her
contract.
I thought the bidding unusually
interesting, as it gives a very good
count on the hand. Mrs. Katzen in
the South opened with one club.
North made one over one, forcing
response of one diamond. Mrs. Kat
zen in the South then decided to
make the third constructive bid by
showing her second suit - she bid
one spade.
North Immediately knew that
there was at least a small slam in
the hand and now bid three clubs.
They had set the safety of the
hand-both players had agreed on
clubs. South now bid three hearts
to show definite control of the heart
suit North bid four no trump.
South went to five clubs-this bid
shows at least five, and possibly
six, card club suit.
North now decided that the best
chance for a grand slam on the
hand was in clubs, so he bid seven
clubs.
