DETROIT AGAIN
THREATENED BY
COSTLY STRIKE
Tool and Die Workers
Meet Tonight to Vote
on Issues
BY WILLIAM +. SULLIVAN
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

Detroit, April 1.-THE ever is
creasing rumble of labor contro-
versies over the teeming motor
plants threatened today to cause a
Gripping strike. Employers and
workmen fought over deadlock
issue in the vital too and die indus
try.
Employers fatty refused de-
mands for 20 per cent pay in
creases and a 36-hour, fve-day
week. Speaking through their as
manufacturers, they charged the
Mechanics Educational society
with jeopardizing President Roose-
velt's recovery program.
Although only 5000 workmen
from 62 tool and die plants will
ballot at p. m. tonight on a strike
vote, a decision on the threatened
walkout at midnight would affect
10000 tool and die workers.
The strike order also would call
thousands from their machines in
the larger plants not directly con-
cerned in the controversy.
The cessation of tool and die
production would make itself felt
in practically every automobile
company here all of which are now
operating at 80 per cent of capac.
ity.
The Mechanics Educational So
ciety charged that the association
was refusing to discuss the contro-
versies in an effort to uphold the
company union.
Association spokesman pointed
out that If strike was ordered,
it will result eventually in the
autom obile companies filling their
needs from plants outside the city.
Some tool and die production is
handled at present at Dayton,
Cleveland, Chicago and Buffalo
for Detroit Plants.
The manufacturers said tool and
die workers in this area, employ
ers said, are'receiving higher wages
than in other cities and to meet
their demands would be turning
competitive business over to out
side manufacturers. rs

WHEAT PIT KING
BEING ATTACKED
BY GOVERNMENT
Arthur w. Cntten Battles
With Secretary Wallace
Over His Dealings

Washington, April 12.-(UP)-
Arthur w. Cutten, whose whisper
has been enough to set the wheat
pits boiling from Liverpool to Win
nipeg, to-day was center Of a new
battle in his long time fight against
government interference. in the
grain trade.
The millionaire Chicago operator
was under citation by Secretary of
Agriculture Henry A. Wallace to
appear at q Chicago hearing May
IA and answer to charges of viola
ton OF the grain futures act.
The right of the sparse, unob-
trusive Cougar old trader to deal
on the American grain exchanges
| is at stake. OF greater signifi-
canoe to grain circles however, was
the fact that the government had
challenged him directly on the
issue for which he has so long
campaigned.
On previous occasions Cutten,
whose operations are always cloak
ed in obscurity such as has made
him a ha1f-legendary figure, has
transferred his dealings to the
Winnipeg market to avoid what he
has characterized as unwarranted
government interference with his
affairs and the grain business In
general.
In the present case the issue is
squarely Joined.
Wallace charges Gluten with
concealing open short commitments
in wheat futures contrary to law;
the keeping Of false accounts;
conspiracy with certain unnamed
grain firms to hide his operations
and illegal efforts to influence
grain prices.
Cutten is strange, half-mysteri-
GUS figure in the world of Ameri-
can finance. When he was IS he
left his boyhood home in Ontario
and came to the United States.
Now he is worth many millions.
On fashionable Lake Side Drive
in Chicago he maintains a resi-
dence and in a secluded Chicago
suburb another. His unostentious
offices in the LOOP are small but
active. No names are on the doors.
Cutten is known in grain pits
additionally as "short seller" AT
one time in 1880 he held 7,525,000
bushels of wheat futures in open
short commitments. Less than a
year later his position was proper
tionate, open short commitments
totalling $4,000 bushels. None of
these was reported, Wallace charg-
ed.
Chicago. Apr. 12--CUP)-Trad-
ers of the wheat pits today rail-
lied to the defense Of Arthur w.
Cutten, for 20 years the greatest
speculator of them all.
For several months the traders
have been organized in open OPP.
position to the governments grain
trading control plan.
This will be a fight and Bit
ter one" said one of Cutten,s col
leagues.
Gluten, alone in his small Office
in the board of trade building, had
nothing to say.
How much Cutten amassed from
his vast speculations never has
been revealed but the public got
an inkling of his wealth when, in
1926. he paid the largest individ-
ual income tax in .Chicago-$540,-
600. He was once reported to have
made $1,500,000 in a single coup.

New York, April I2-(UP) -
A dozen or SO preferred issues rose
2 to points on the stock exchange
today, while the main list turned
irregularly lower in light dealings.
The market lacked incentive. Big
traders held aloof. Pools we're out,
of the market entirely. All traders
awaited Qualification of the un-
certainty surrounding the proposed
stock exchange regulation bill.
Stocks opened irregnlarly lower,
flrmed in dull trading, and later
slipped Off again. The advance in
the. inactive preferreds came with
only small demand. Holders were
reticent to sell except at sharply
higher prices. Leading issues Of
nearly all groups eased small
amounts.
In addition to the preferred is
sues, there was moderate demand
for some of the amusements and
their prices were enhanced. Pack
Ing issues continued firm. Rubbers
had a period Of firmness along
with rubber futures. Utilities were
dull but firm. Rails eased in dull
trading as did oils, steels, wet
stocks, and chemicals.
A slow decline was in progress
in the last hour following a break
in grains. Wheat closed off 1 Ia
to l 3-8 cents; corn off Is to 1
7-8, Rye off 1-2 to / "a cents
and oats 1-8 to 1 3-S cents.
Among the preferred issues to
make wide gains were American
beet sugar II up z Ia; Curtis
Publishing SO IA up 6 ga; Hahn
so up 5: International Printing Ink
80 up 5 1-2; Skelly Oil with war
rants Sc up 3 1-2; Hamilton watch
40 up A; radio at 81 up Q 1-2, and
Mullins Manufacturing SO "a, up
2 "a.
Silver issues were depressed
when 1t was learned the senate
banking committee was extending
it's investigation into holdings of
silver commitments. Farm euuip.-
ments declined with brains, and
mail order shares followed. Auto.
mobile issues sold off on fears OF
further strikes in the industry.
Aviation issues lost small amounts.
Loew's was a strong spot in the
amusement group, reaching a new
high for the year at IS up / 1-8.
Pathe Exchange A also was active
and higher. Goodyear and u. s.
Rubber issues were the leaders in
the tire division.
American Telephone held fair
gain throughout the day, but West
ern Union was forced down more
than point. Radio Corporation is
sues were active and strong, espe-
cially the preferred issues. North
ern Pacific lost more than a point
in the rails. Consolidated Gas
crossed 3S near the close and
other utilities firmed with it.

There, is a good demand for

Wool tops are slightly more active

Although the demand for spot
