alking big about

Johnson has been talking big about
Ford, because he had to. Every time
he turned around, someone was always
asking him: What are you going to do
about Henry?"
The general hit upon the stock an
swer: He will be treated like every
one else" 1t sounded good but was not
very specific.
The truth Is the Government does
not relish a conflict.
Johnson once sought to get other ALL
tomobile people to put pressure on
Ford. but the other people did not like
the idea. They have found it advis-
able to let Ford alone. Also, If Ford
closed his plants in protest against
pressure, it would throw 10000 persons
out of work in Detroit, which would not
help anyone.
Ogburn Tilt Explained.
They have better explanation
around the N r. A. now for the resig-
nation of Prof Ogburn.
They say the Chicago University
professor did not understand what was
being done for him. When he re-
ceived a telegram offering him job
with the Central Statistical Board. he
thought they were sidetracking him be-
cause of his trouble with the conSum-
ers' counsel. Mrs. Rumsey.
As a matter of fact. they were try
ing to get him to run what may turn
out to be the biggest Government out
fit. It is the one working on national
planning.
He thought it sounded unimportant
and quit.

CARPENTERS SEEK
RATE RESTORATION
FROM GOVERNMENT
Continued From First Page.)

Departments have never formally recog-
nized the existence of the $8-per- day
wage, but the contractors have made the
reduction on the theory they are en-
titled to the benefit of an agreement
entered into between the Carpenters
District Council and the Master Build
ers' Association although not parties to
the contract. Up to this time, he said,
the Treasury Department has tacitly
acquiesced in that course.
On the question Of the validity Of the
contract, the petition points out that no
contract may be entered into by the
council unless the locals affiliated ap-
prove the action, and says that the
locals affected not only never approved
the contract, but ION several occasions
and by substantial votes refused to re-
duce the wage scale from $11 to So
per day"
Correspondence Attached.
Attached to the petition are photo
static copies of correspondence passing
between out-of-town contractors having
Government building contracts here and
their subordinates, indicating that a
fund was in process OF collection Tor the
purpose of influencing the signing Of the
contract. The contribution Of one con-
tractor mentioned in one Of the photo
static copies was $500.
As to what happened to the money,
the petition states: THE Carpenters
Building Council is not ready to make
allegations as to how the funds con-
tributed were used to bring about
the said agreement Of April IA, 1888.
but requests the Secretary Of Labor to
make such investigation as may be nee
essary to elicit information as to the
size of the said contributions. the names
of contributors, and the uses made OF
such contributions"

inviting their nations to exchange
views on broad aspects Of the general
economic conference and on arma-

Each on these was accompanied by
q personal note from Secretary Hull

AMERICAN CAPITAL
Possibility Of Restored Trade
Through New Agreements
Brings Optimism
WHEAT PACT IS IMPORTANT
Nation interested in Preventing
REPETITION Of cIut on
World Market

Copyright. 1888. by the Associated
Press
Ottawa, April l2.-(R-The people
Of Canada look to the approaching
conferences at Washington, preced-
ing the world economic conference,
with much hope. Premier r. B.
Bennett will visit the United States
capital at a date not yet decided
upon and 1t is expected in discussion
there will include the possibility Of q
trade agreement between Canada
and the United States as well as such
questions as rehabilitating the price
Of silver and provisions to guard
against future gluts in the wheat
market.
These latter problems will require
the cooperation of several nations ia
make effective any solution.
In view Of the great importance
which the government places on the
negotiations for q trade agreement
with the United States, absolute ST.
lence has been maintained In minis
terial circles as to the proposals
which have been made or win be
made to Washington.
It Is felt here, however, that much
can be done to revive the immense
trade that once was carried on be-
tween the two countries. In the fiscal
year 1929, Canada bought goods from
her southern neighbor to the value o1
$668. 8.Ol2,229 and sold the United
States goods to the value OF $780,
612,l45. The trade between the two
countries has been diminishing 70,
several years.
Exchange Is troublesome
The premium Of the United States
dollar over the Canadian dollar, ap-
proximately 20 per cent. not only
makes much heavier the interest bur-
den Canada has to meet each year In
New York but Is one of the most I'm
portant factors in making in difficult
for U. s. firms to sell goods In Can
ada.
Some steps win likely be studied
to make the tariffs between the two
countries less liable to change due to
fluctuations in exchange and the ap-
plication Of dumping or unfair COM
petition duties.
It Is expected that many lines Of
manufactured goods will be sought

posed restricting branch banking to
