WELFARE BILL

welfare of the Nation in spite of

welfare bill of Senator Tydings

The measure would empower
Congress to levy certain excise

workers in excess of certain
quota hours. 1t also would have
workers enrolled in trade associa-

ployment to competent artisans,
provide old-age pensions and pay
quota compensation" to unem-
ployed workmen "in such order
in amount equal to the number
of the hours of the employment
quota" and would provide acci.

was framed in the portfolio a
few minutes before the shot rang
out across the dark, quiet water
and Wanderwell's dying cries
were heard?
The State claims the name of
this man is the name Of Wan

was "Curley" Guy, once a mem
ber of a Wanderwell expedition in
South Africa.

DETROIT, Feb. 2 GN.SJ
Early reopening Of the Ford Mo
tor Company's plants throughout

as production was resumed at
the independent body factories

Ford bodies with force of ap-
proximately 5000 strikebreakerS.
Bodies Being Delivered
Company officials said deliv-
cries Of bodies were started to-
day.
Picketing at the Highland Park
plant was abandoned at noon.
When the picket lines had dwin-
died to a handful State police
suddenly demanded credentials.
Only three pickets were able to
show badges in proof that they
were bona-fide strikers. They were
allowed to remain in front Of
the plant, but in a few minutes
they, too, had disappeared.
At the East Side plant picket
ing continued. with frequent mi
nor disorders. Last night strik-
ers stoned supply trucks and at
tackled workers leaving the plant.
Indication that the company
was having considerable difficulty
in finding skilled strikebreakers
was seen this morning when a
number of them were discharged.
Company officials said they had
misrepresented themselves as
skilled men.
Radical Leader Freed

the workers to hold out until the
company agreed to deal with them

go in there organized and free
to negotiate. This is your chance
to be more than Chinese

GOLD STANDARD
HELD INVALID
IN ARGUMENT
Commission Head RidiCuIes
Sole Aim by CroWther at
NongoId Countries

Legislation designed to curb i'm
ports from countries off the golc
standard was ridiculed today by
Robert L. O'Brien, chairman OF
the Tariff Commission, in testi
mony before the House Ways and
Means Committee.
Admitting that American manu-
facturers are suffering from for
eign competition, he declared
that the real trouble is the world
wide depression and worldwide
drop in prices.
Flags CrOwther Bill
A staunch Republican, O'Brien
assailed action of House Republi
cans to force a vote February 13
on the Crowther bill which would
levy additional tariff duties
against deprecated currency coun
tries. He said:
"There is no escape from the
conclusion that if the foreign
countries have been benefited
in competitive trade by going
off the gold standard that we
ought to go off the gold stand
ard.
Every Representative who
votes for the bill on February
13 is by inescapable logic de-
claring that we should do this.
81 believe our going off the
gold standard would be the
paramount calamity of this dis
turbing period"
O'Brien referred to the procla-
nation of President Hoover rails
ing the tariff on rubber foot
wear, being imported from
Czecho -Slovakia and Japan.
One Off, One On
He said the former country is
on the gold standard and Japan
is off it. The tariff was raised,
he said, because under the low
costs of production in these
countries it was justified. He
continued:
"Our imports today are at a
very low ebb in quality and in
quantity and we are not being
flooded by imports.
"There is a strong sentiment
in this country for an embargo
and pretty good arguments can
be made for it. But If we are
to have aM embargo let us do
1t honestly and go ahead and
levy higher tariff rates against
everybody"
He criticized James A. Farrell,
former president of the U. S.
Steel Corporation, who recently
urged deprecated currency leg
islation.
Popular Madness"
O'Brien said that the iron and
steel imports of which Farrell
complained come chiefly from
countries on the gold standard.
"This is a period of popular
madness. People have talked
about this until they believe it,"
He said Farrells statements
that England and other countries
went off the gold standard to cap
ture our markets is ridiculous. "
Referring to President Hoover's
letter of October 25 asking the
Tariff Commission to investigate
the deprecated currency situa-
ton, he said the first three articles
considered came from gold
standard countries, and added:
"The great thing in this
world is the depression The
small thing is the nations going
off the gold standard"
