London reports say the United
States Is ready to peg the dollar
at s4.40' of our money for one Eng
lish (off the gold standard) paper
pound.
Why, in the name Of Providence
and common sense, all this pegging
talk? How can we tell what the pa.
per pound will be worth six months
hence? When England went OFF the
gold basis we didn't NEEDLE, or sug-
gest any "pegging.'
France cut so per cent from the
value of her francs, thus cutting so
per cent from the amount she paid
to E~nglishmen that had lent her
tens Of millions at the old franc
value. The English were not con-
suited. Why all the dollar peg
ping? Are we unable to attend to
u W dollar, as European nations
have attended to their own curren-
cies without asking our advice, or
permitting our interference?

Connecticut voted 6 to ] and New

A wise man from the Harvard
School of Business, said: prepare
to see the dollar go a great deal
lower" He seemed to think that drop
would be an excellent thing for the
United States at this moment.
The Bible tells us that man Is
made a little lower than the angels.
Exceptionally bad samples seem to
be considerably lower.
A kind-hearted collector for a milk
business, sympathizing with a poor
beggar, bought him a hearty meal,

dangerously. and took SS5 from him.

Announces Regulations Concerning
Transfers to Palestine.
BERLIN. September 2 (Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency The ministry OF
economy yesterday published the full
text of the decree recently announced
for the transfer Of Jewish property to
Palestine.
The decree stated the agreement was
concluded with the concerned Jewish
bodies" in order to further the emigra-
ton of German Jews to Palestine
through allotting the necessary sums
without excessive pressure upon the
foreign currency reserves of the Reichs-
bank, and also to increase German
exports to Palestine.
The Reichsbank opened two special
accounts with the Bank of the Temple
Society "a small German bank in
Palestine), in favor of the Anglo
Palestinian Bank.
The first special account. which is
limited to 100000 marks (about
81 ,026,00O. provides that investment
funds which exceed $4,000 marks should
be paid for buying German goods.
while the same amount will be credited
to emigrants in Palestinian pounds by
the Anglo-Palestine Bank.
The second special account is de-
signed for payments by German Jews
who wish to invest in Palestine now
but plan to emigrate later Any one
may pay up to $4,000 marks into this
account, which also is utilized for buy
ing German goods, the amount being
credited in Palestine.
The decree explicitly stated that ac-
counts cannot be used for any other
purpose than for investing in Palestine.
A special trustee corporation for advis-
ing prospective emigrants to Palestine
was founded.

NAz| YOUTHS SLUG !.
ANOTHER AMERICAN
Chester, Pa, Student, Fl,
Suffers Bruised Eye in
Encounter.
BY JOHN GUNTHER.

Ey Radio to The Star
BERLIN. Germany, September a.
A 21-year-old non-Jewish American
boy, Samuel Brennan Bossard. was
pIolicly slugged by a group of Young
Ea4.s in Berlin on Thursday night, it
was learned today
This is the thirty-second or thirty
third case of assault on American
citizens since Chancellor Adolf Hitler
came to power and its gravity can
hardly be overestimated.
The new beating follows closely on
the public apology of the commander
of the Berlin storm troops, Karl Ernst.
to American Ambassador William E.
doctor. Dr. Daniel Mulvihill of Brook
n, N. Y, and the promise that such
cutrages would not occur again.
Paraders Encountered.
Young Bossard is an American citi-
zen and student from Chester. Pa, vino
arrived as a tourist wanting to see the
country under the new regime.
At 11:15 pm. Thursday he was re-
turning to the Hotel Westphal on
Stresemann Strasse. Bossard was on
the other :..de of the street at the
same moment that a procession of
(Hitler youth organiZation) was pass
ing by. He waited until the parade
finished and then started across the
street to his hotel.
Bossard was knocked down by one
of the marchers and four or five 9TH
ers jumped on him and began to beat
him. He protested that he was an
American and tried to show his pass
port. policeman approached and,
according to Bossard. refused to In
tervene, saying, "Oh, that's done"
Consulate Informed.
Bossard limped into the hotel with
a bruised eye and the next day re-
ported the affair to the American con-
sulate. His offense was doubtless omis-
sion to salute the Nazi flag. The as
sailants we're youngsters between II and
10 years old and wore the brown shirt
and cap of the Hitler jugend.
Bossard takes the business in good
spirit and SAYS that. anyway. he con-
tiHues to love Germany. The affair IS
the more serious because, following the
Mulvihill case, it was specifically an
nounced that foreigners would not be
compelled to salute the NaZi flag or
professions OF NaZls singing the horst
vessel anthem. This order was pro-
mulgated to the storm troops.
The necessary procedure OF investi-
cation and protest is being carried out
by the American authorities. The grav-
est consequences may follow il these
attacks continue. 1t is said in unofi-
cial circles that public warning that
Americans and other foreigners are net
safe on Berlin streets may be ex-
pected.

LOWER COAL RATES
DENIED D. c. DEALERS

on coal shipments from the Pennsyl-
vania fields to the New England region
and the distances covered are about the
same as to the local area.
The purpose of the filing of the local
complaints, it was explained, was to
obtain reductions in anthracite retail
prices in Washington so this coal might
stand better chance in competition
with coal substitutes.
Anthracite coal sold in Washington
competes with bituminous coal, coke,
gas, fuel oil, natural and artificial gas
and electricity" the local dealers point
ed out. There has been a gradual in
crease for domestic purposes in the de-
mand for bituminous coal produced in
the Pocahontas regions Of Southern
West Virginia, due primarily to the Diff
ference in prices between that and an
thracite coal. There Is also substan-
tial increase in the consumption Of
other competitive fuels These fuels, to
a large extent. have displaced anthra-
cite. Gas and oil have displaced ap-
proximately 1000 tons of coal, pr1n-
cipally anthracite.
Tonnage on Decline.
"It is apparent from the record that
Notwithstanding the increase in popu-
laticn, the tonnage of anthracite coal
consumed in Washington is declining.
In seeking reduction in the rates on
anthracite, the compliments stated that
it would be their purpose to pass any
decrease therein onto the consumer, to
the end that anthracite might also be
made more attractive as fuel in Wash
ington."
Prior to April 1, 1881, the rates to
Baltimore and Washington, generally
speaking, were the same on coal ship
ped from the three great Pennsylvania
coal regions. The rates were blank
eted' as far South as Quantico, Va.
and as far North as Codorus. Pa, on
the Western Maryland Railroad; as
far as Perryville, Md, on the Penn
sylvania. and as far as Havre de Grace
on the Baltimore & Ohio.
On April /, 1881, rates on prepared
sizes of anthracite to Baltimore were
reduced. The rates on pea and smaller
sizes to Baltimore and to Washington
remained the same. The present rates
to Washington and those to Baltimore.
voluntarily reduced by the carriers two
years ago, had been in effect more
than 80 years. subject only to the

Expressing disappointment and

piled to railroads, A. F. Whitney, chair
man of the Railway Labor Executives
Association. today said the association
"will take immediate steps to have the
railroad working day shortened without
q reduction in wages"
Mr. Whitney said the association will
meet every SOOn," at which time plans
will be discussed for movement to
obtain a shorter working day for rail-
road men 'in an effort to increase en-
ployment and purchasing power"
Roosevelt Asks Suggestions.
He said communication on the sub
ject from President Roosevelt had been
sent to all association members with a
request for suggestions on a plan OF
action and a meeting date.
The Presidents communication, Mr..
Whitney said, took the position that
railroads should not come under pro-
visions of the national industrial recov-
cry act because of the emergency rail-
road labor act.
I'VE have felt" Mr.. Whitney said,
"that the railroads, among the largest
employers in the country, should have
been expected. to set an example in the
effort to bring about economic recovery.
Instead, the railroads have been dis
missing employees, which has been very
discouraging to the railroad workers.
I'VE see no reason why the railroads
should be excluded from provisions Of
the recovery act The great army Of
railroad workers must have an oppor-
tunity to work"
