 Turning Point - Wall Street Moves to Capital

Washington March 6-(U.P0 - Secretary O. Treasury William H. Woodin believes the modified bank ing holiday proclaimed by Pres ident Roosevelt marks the turning point in nations banking crisis. (
 'This is the start of the rell thing" the new secretary told neWspapcrmen who crowded around his desk last midnight. He had just closcu gruelling series of conferences that began early Sunday but he was still smiling.
 "I think we are on. the bottom and will not go lower. If people have confidence in the great lead CT in the White House. the coun- try will get out of these difficulties quite readily"
 Woo1in asserted phatically that the banking suspension ana embargo on gold exports does not mean the country is off the gold standard.

It was the sense of the meeting that the committee consisting of Austin l.. Adams. president of the Colonial Trust company, Lewis Reed. executive vice president of the Citizens & Manufacturers Ma tional Bank and Fl. $. Seeley. president of the Waterbury Trust company, have the certificates printed and held in readiness for any emergency that may exist when the banks reopen.
 Unless instructions to the con- trary are received from the goT- ernor's office in Hartford or by presidential proclamation. the banks of the city. which closed Saturday, will reopen Friday morn ing.
 It was decided at the meeting of bank officials called into confer iance by the Waterbury Clearing House Association that the Mer- chants Trust company's quarters would be used daily as cash ex- change. Ready change conse- quently will be available for hotels. theaters. business establishments on ash-for-cash basis.
 While the bank official discuss the advisability of preparing to tide Waterbury over the emer- gency period. leading merchants of the city gathered and discussed plans for the extension of liberal credit to the general public.

noon InurSday.
 It is hoped emergency legislation will be rushed through before the modified holiday expires at mid night Thursday night.
 President Roosevelts' proclama- tion allows Secretary of Treasury Woodin within his discretion to permit exceptionally liquid banks to resume normal operations.
 It also permits him to authorize banks to accept new trust accounts in which funds deposited during the holiday wouldi be subject to withdrawal on demand and with outrestriction or limitation.
 MT Roosevelt acted under pow CT granted by the wartime trad ing with the enemy act "The United States Is not off the gold standard,' said Secretary Q. Treasury Woodfn orally shortly af' ter the midnight proclamation was issued.
 "This is the start of the real thing. I think we're on the bottom and will not go lower. If people have confidence in the great lead CT in the White House, the country will get out of these difficulties quite readily"
 President Roosevelt regards his action as a protective step to give the exhausted banking structure a breathing spell while congress fashions emergency legislation to carry through the crisis.

TREES BLAMED.
IN ROAD DELAY

Mystery surrounding cessation
OF work on two roads in the vi
cinity Of the Washington Monu'
ment was cleared up today when
1t was learned Secretary Of the
Interior Ickes had ordered activi-
ties halted after receiving COM
plants that trees were being
needlessly torn up.
The project is part of the Nc
MILAN plan for development Of
the Mall, proffered as long ago
as 1901, but delayed by lack of
funds until recent $780, 900 allo-
cation of the Public Works Ad-
ministration made it possible to
proceed.
Work was begun last week and,
after a few days, halted suddenly,
apparently for no reason.
=. Critics of the order halting the
work pointed out that plans call
for hundreds of American elms to
be planted along the two roads
and that naturally old trees in the
fights-of-way have to be taken UP.
These are being transplanted,
where their condition permits.
It also was emphasized that the
project had not been undertaken
until after the PWA, of which
1ckes is ad-'!~ i7trator, had given
its approval.

ing in their unions and to clean their
ranks Of corrupt elements, rank and
file members of the building trades
unions, organized in a Provisional
Committee Against Racketeering
have issued a call to conference on
Wednesday, September 10, at 8 pm.
at Irving Plaza, 18th st. and Irving
Place.
Racketeering has been rife in the
building trades unions in New York,
the committee declares in its call, and
has turned the unions into the pri-
vate businesses of racketeering Off
Gals instead of economic organiza-
tons in the interests of the rank and
file. Members of Local No. of the
Electrical Workers Union are now
engaged in a struggle to force How
ard Breach, international president
and local officials to restore $500, 600
OF the members dues misused since
1926. For this exposure, the members
have been beaten, barred from jobs
and from union meetings and sus-
pended from the union. At least two
members were shot and one MUIR
dered in this struggle.
To the conference at Irving Plaza
on Wednesday, September 10, Senator
Copeland of the Senate Sub-C Com
mittee Investigating Racketeering
Matthew Vol, William Green and

fruit, dairy and grocery clerks, under
the auspices of the clerks section Of
the Food Workers Industrial Union
will be held tonight at pm. at
Bryant Hall, Sixth Ave. and 41st st.
There is a growing determination
between the members Of the food

in its power to disrupt every united
effort of the workers to combat their
common enemy, the bosses. The A.
F. of L. officials are trying to snug
gle through the slavery code of the
bosses which provides $3.50, and $14
for clerks and no provision for deliv-
cry boys at all, leaving the young
workers at the mercy Of the bosses.
At this mass meeting the code pre-
pared by the Food Workers Indus
trial Union will be discussed, the
members of the A. F. of L. Local, 336
are urged to hurl back the threats

Leon Taback, Bronx
JObIesS Leader, Is
Acquitted by Court
Attemptto Frame Him
on Assault Charge
Is Failure

NEW YORK-Leon Taback, Bronx
leader of the Unemployed Council,
who was arrested and slugged by
police following a demonstration be-
fore the Home Relief Buro at Frisby
and Benson AYES, was yesterday &C
quilted Of assault" in Special Ses-
sions following militant court fight
by lawyers for the International
Labor Defense.
Three prosecution witnesses ap-
peared against Taback-Horgan a
plainclothes policeman Of the Relief
Buro, Sullivan, who arrested Taback
after knocking him unconscious and
Mrs. Eltinge, supervisor of the bureau.
After threatening Taback with long
prison sentence, for months, Mrs. FL
tinge completely retreated when she
took the witness stand and failed
to support the lying testimony Of the
cops.
The reason for this is found in
the successful demonstration held
before the bureau on Thursday, it
is explained.
Defense lawyers at the trial yester-
day pointed out that the workers were
not only justified in holding the April
Z demonstration which resulted in
Taback's arrest-along with five other
workers-but that Mrs. Burns, SUI
pervisor at the buro, had expressly
invited" them to come any time they
had immediate and needy cases to
take up.
