those who were caught short in the
rampaging market, burned out all op-
position to the rise.
The July option in wheat opened at
92A cents, up 32s, while December
touched 97h, with September at 95A
all options were selling we'll above
the tentative price of 80 cents men
toned by the agricultural department
as the goal sought under the new
farm act to be operated by reducing
acreage and paying the farmers for
idle land from processing taxes of
some 80 cents a bushel.
Demand Increased
Wheat demand increased as the
first half hour of turmoil to buy set
the pits seething. September wheat
touched 96A cents, up 5A from Mon
day when it made seven cent gain.
May hit $1.04, up cents.
While the future quotations are
higher than farm prices, the rise has
given the grower price in the fields
Of about twice that at the start of
1893.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace,
now in the middlewest working out
details for the processing tax to get
wheat prices up to the prewar aver
age level, said Monday in Des Moines
that there was no danger of a famine,
even If the drought and heat killed
most of the crops, as there is large
holdover surplus of grain, including
$50 0O0, 900 bushels of wheat.
The big rise invited tremendous
profit taking and before the first hour
had passed there was a reaction of

NYE ASSERTS GREED
FORCED GOVERNMENT
TO DRASTIC ACTION
North Dakota Senator, Praisine
Roosevelt, Says He Seeks
Fair Play

Atlantic City, N. j., June 27.-(P)-
Senator Gerald p. Nye, Independent
Republican Of North Dakota, assert.
ed Monday the government has taker
steps for the drastic regulation Of in.
dustry because of the greed" of in.
dustrialists.
"The passage of the Industrial Re.
covery Act" he told the National AS
ISOLATION OF Retail Grocers in annual
convention, lis a pleasant surprise
and means that the government and
congress have at last admitted that
the old order has prevailed and con-
gress have at last admitted that the
old order has prevailed too long"
Senator Nye expressed the view that
governments should get into the bust
ness of banking because it (bank-
ing) was in the main responsible for
the terrible plight we call the depres-
sion"
PralSing the courageous leadership
of President Roosevelt who has dared
to seek new ways of fair play to ALL
and end "favoritism to a few" the
senator also urged the association to
align itself with the governments pro-
gram under the Industrial Recovery
Act.
Under the act" he said, Amer
lean business goes into partnership
with Uncle Sam. How it works out
remains to be seen and depends not
entirely on trade but largely on the
governments administration of the
act
The senator criticized investment
bankers who he said, unloaded billions
in worthless securities; the manipula-
tions of power magnates to gain vast
control and specifically indicted the
heads of the Bethlehem Steel corpora
ton.
Bent on higher salaries, the execu-
lives of that corporation looted the
stockholders of $31 100000 in bonuses
during the last 13 years." he said. ITO
make it worse, the bonuses continued
TO be paid the executives even when
the common stockholders received no
profits.
Such greed forced the hand of the
government and brought the dictation
Of new policy to take the place of
the one termed the masses and
workers be damned"
Nov there must be new start to
bring about the restoration of buying
power and this can be done only
through more employment and fair
treatment Of industry's labor"

 WHEREAS, the Juneau Cham Der unanimously endorsed a bill which was recently introduced in the legislature giving local con- tractors preference over ou tsid Q contractors in the matter of all contracts entered into in Alaska; and,
 WHEREAS, the City of Juneau from time to time is required to make contracts and receive bids for work to be done and supplies to be furnished to the City of Juneau;

MITCHELL CLEARED
Of TAX CHARGES
BY FEDERAL JURY
Acquitted on All Counts Ac-
cusing Him of Evading
Income Payments.
FATE is DELIBERATED
MORE THAN "a HOURS
Verdict Accepts Bankers Sale Of
Stock to Wife as Legal
Transaction.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, June 22-Charles E.
Mitchell was acquitted today on all
counts in the indictment which charged
him with income tax evasion.
The jury, which had heard the Gov
eminent charges that Mitchell former
chairman Of the National City Bank,
had cheated the Government in 1929
and 1880 of more than $3.50, 900 in in
come taxes, took the case at 11:25 am,
Eastern standard time, yesterday. 1t
returned the verdict little more than
"a hours later.
The charges against Mitchell, who
for many years was one of the most
powerful figures in the banking world,
were, briefly, that he had Illegally
failed to report a payment Of $685.
666.67 from the National City Co. in
1929, and that he had made sham
stock sales to make it appear that he
had suffered such heavy income loss
that he owed no tax in 1929 and 1880.
The stock sale in 1929 was to Nit
chell'S wife, and the one in 1880 to
w. D. Thornton, president of the
Greene Cananea Copper Co.
The jury had been instructed that it
could convict or acquit on all the
charges together, or could convict or
acquit on any one charge.
The jury returned for instructions
three times, once yesterday and twice
today. 1t was at the conclusion of the
third appearance of the jury that the
verdict acquitting Mitchell on all counts
was returned.
Mitchell leaped to his feet as he
heard the words, mot guilty" pro-
nounced in a low voice by James K.
Campbell, foreman, and grabbed the
hand of Max D. Steuer, his counsel.
His face was fiery red, his eyes filled
with tears.
Federal Judge Henry W. Goddard
asked the jurors not to discuss the case
publicly and dismissed them.
II can't talk now-I'm too moved"
Mitchell said as the crowd pressed
around him. With Steuer, he disap-
peared in the ante room where he had
spent the hours waiting for the verdict.
