JAPANESE DEF|ED,
MARCH ON REBELS
Fang's Force, Estimated at
5000 to $4,000, Ready
to Attack Peiping.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PEIPING, September 25.-The ir.
regular army of Gen. Fang Chen-Wl
was reported tonight to be within q
miles of Peiping. and it was expected
the ancient capital soon would be at.
tackled.
Gen. Fang is heading force of ban
dts and former leaderless soldiers vari.
ously estimated at 5000 to $4,000 men
He has announced that his purpose i!
to free North China of the tyranny
Of the Marking government" and ha!
declared that within few days he will
be at the gates of Peiping.
One group of his force is reported tc
have started toward Tientsen. ostensibly
to capture that port city as the Other
column is asSailing Peiping
Peiping military authorities expressed
confidence they would be able to repeI
Gen Fang both here and at Tientsen
but they were afraid his horde of ir-
regulars would pillage the countryside
Japanese aviators were busy today
flying over the supposed demilitarized
section Of North China, seeking to learn
the strength of the rebels and their
positions.
Meanwhile the Chinese authorities
were pleading with the Japanese for
permission to dispatch punitive expe-
dition against the rebels. But the JAP
anese, despite the claims that China
was entitled to sovereignty over its own
territory, insisted that the Japanese
Army must dispose of Gen. Fang.
The Japanese Indignantly denied that
they were supporting the renegades. al
though there were consistent Chinese
reports to the contrary.
Chinese spokesmen asserted that tn,
japanese had disarmed the Chimes,
police at Miyun, midway between Peip
ing and the Great Wall.
They declared this act was mex
plicable, as the police had been sen
to Miyun in accordance with the Tank
armistice of last May. The japanese
are reported to have replied that th'
uncertainty of the situation required
that the police give up their rifles
which would be returned when thing
are normal again.
Chinese reports from various parts o
the demilitarized zone indicated tn
area was seething with disorders ant
banditry. Dispatches declared tha
hordes Of outlaws were pillaging farm
and terrorizing the helpless farmers.
The japanese have informed Gen
Fang. a military leader who came ou
of Chahar Province, that unless h
evacuates the North China Zone b,
Tuesday midnight they will drive hin
out.

usually have been essentially simple.
two-sided affairs in which the agrarian
class has waged political warfare with
the laboring and investment classes
on such issues as the redemption OF
the greenbacks, or free coinage of
silver.
Present Issue Less Simple.
Today the money question is once
more a vital issue. Today, however,
The severe decline in prices since 1879
has worked a hardship, not only on
the farmer but on all holders of prop
erty everywhere. As a result the cry
has been raised. and has become in
creasingly insistent, that "the gold
standard has broken down"
Behind that challenge are ranged
not only those who feel vaguely that
there isn't enough money" but in
Vulnerable other groups interested for
one reason or another in higher prices,
friends Of free silver, managed cur
rency," enthusiasts and advocates of
controlled imitation"
Despite its new and complicated
guise, however, the issue which over
shadows every other before the United
States today, is the same issue that
confronted the Nation in the form of
the greenbacks and free silver in the
latter half of the last century, anc
which has appeared in numerous forms
to plague other nations since money
became the basis of exchange through
out the world. It Is the age-old issue
Of sound money.
The articles in the series to which
this is an introduction are an attemrt
to restate the case of orthodoxy in
money matters-for the gold stand
ard-and to restate it in the light Of
the present confused controversy.
Principles Are Obscure.
<One of the great stumbling blocks to
an understanding of the money prob
lens now so actively under discussion
is the lack of familiarity with monetary
principles on the. part not only of
the layman but OF many persons daily
in intimate contact with business and
monetary methods.
That being so, the sponsors Of this
series have undertaken in the first five
articles to place before readers a suf-
f1cient knowledge of monetary princi-
piles and a sufficient understanding
of the mechanism of the currency and
credit system to enable them to weigh
for themselves the evidence in the
controversy.
Having prepared the background
with discussions Of real money"
represents tive money" deposit
money" "the money supply and the
Federal Reserve System" and "the
gold standard" the writers of this
series come, through a discussion of
money and prices" to the issue Of
imitation" itself
Among the specific questions dis
cussed in the later articles are I'm
flation Fallacies," Controlled In
flation," Imitation in History" "The
Thomas Amendment" and Managed
Currencies."

appear in The Star tomorrow

PICkETS PLAY BANJOS
TO while AWAY time
Mines Patrolled in Effort to Keep
Them Idle Pending Full Union
Recognition"
BY the Associated Press.


UNIONTOWN, Pa, September 25.-
Banjo-playing pickets are guarding
mine entrances in determined effort
to keep Southwestern Pennsylvania BIZ
luminous collieries idle pending full
union recognition"
With a demand that the H. c. Frick
Coke Co. sign contract with the
United Mine Workers Of America,
miners who quit work nearly two weeks
ago are on picket duty, with the an
nounced intention of dissuading men
from returning to the workings.
They are playing banJoes and guitars
to pass ava" the time.
At q mass meeting at Pricedale and
another at Bobtown the men voted not
to resume work at least until October 2,

tive
Although local union leaders urged
West Virginia miners to strike in SYM

across the border in defiance of noun
tain State police, who are armed with
tear gas bombs and rifles to repel any

code nor a union contract. officials an

on his current budget.
Now what really happens in imitation
Is that prices go up three or four times
as fast as do incomes. so that while the
man in question used to pay $4,000 for
household necessities he now has to pay
$4,000 to buy the same things.
Hardship on Middle Glass.
Large debtors who owe far more
money than they ever pay out would
be benefited, but the middle class Of
America, the average man and woman
would meet extreme hardships Also
the savings of lifetime which have
been built up by thrift would dwindle
as any use we're made of them For
the banks would naturally pay deposi-
tors in dollars that look the same but
actually have less and less purchasing
power.
The wiseacres Of finance, fearing all
this. are sending their money abroad to
be converted into currencies that are
not going to be inflated But the ad-
ministration is not committed to cur
rency imitation and the chances are
that it will never be tried here.
In fact, the dollar will be the
strongest currency in the world the
moment the administration announces
a sound money policy.

MERCHANTS ASSA|[
.PR|CE-F|X|NG CODE
Nationwide Coalition Led by
Large Retail Drug Or
ganization.

A vigorous attack on the price-fix-
ing sections Of the proposed retail
codes now under consideration by the
National Recovery Administration was
launched today by a Nationwide coal
ition of merchants.
Leaders in the price-hxing sections
Of the codes were members Of the law
firm of Parrish, Cohen, Guthrie & Wat
ters Of washington and Des Moines,
representing several large retail drug
organizations Terming the price-fix-
ing sections "a conscienceleSs attempt
by selfish interests to gouge several
hundred million dollars a year out OF
consumers" Myron Melvin Cohen, q
member Of the law firm. issued an
appeal for "all consumers to join in
protests now being made to President
Roosevelt and Recovery Administrator
Hugh S. johnson"
"Inis is particularly the fight of the
wage Garner and the farmer" said
Cohen. "Organized labor and the farm
organizations should make known their
opposition to the unreasonable price
increases permitted by these codes"
The groups for which Cohen Is
spokesman include the Associated Re-
tail Druggists of America, with head
quarters in Cleveland; the National In
dependent Pharmacists, Inc, New York,
and the Katz Drug Co., Kansas City,
Mo. Among the other opponents Of
the price fixing sections are Lansburgh
& Bro, Washington: r. H. Macy &
Co., New York; Sears, Roebuck & Co.,
Washington, Philadelphia and Chicago;
Montgomery Ward & Co., Baltimore,
Chicago and other cities, and the Chi
cago Mail Order House.
"The price fixing sections have been
proposed by merchants who are seek
ing to make the NJ R. A. an instrument
of profiteering," Cohen declared. The
fact is. it would be impossible to po-
lice these codes without a police force
far exceeding the present numbers Of
unemployed"
