thoughtful as that on Wednesday night by MT. Richberg He touched upon the questions raised by Section T (a) and the problems of price fixing, competition weekly hours and future regulation. On each what he had to say was balanced and reassuring
 AS for Section (a), he repudated any sweep ing interpretation of it. Its purpose he said was to establish the right of workers to bargain col lectively When labor leaders seek to use the em- poyers as the means of coercing men to join their organization" therefore they are not only creat- ing poor organization, but violating the fundamental principle of Section (a)." He pointed out the dangers of price fixing not merely to the consumer but to producers themselves Any devel- opment of the cartel system of monopolies must
 lead eventually to State control of industry; in the long run people will not tolerate pricefixing by private agreement.
 MT. Richberg recommends that trade associations should do business openly and furnish full in formation concerning their activities to body which might combine some of the functions and authorities of the present MIRA and the Federal Trade Commission He would continue to have minimum wages and maximum hours fixed, ap- parently allowing each industry to do this sep aratey; he would continue to allow unfair -prac- tice" provisions to be inserted in codes He would attempt in short, at to permit intelligent cooperation and exchange of information within industries without encouraging collision mon- opoly

War Debts and the Cheap Dollar.
(Kansas City Times)

Though the Government of France persists in refusing to pay interest and maturing installments on the huge debt due the United States Govern ment, it has not taken advantage of this countrys 40 per cent debasement of the gold value of the dollar in it's obligation to citizens of the United States Both the French Government and the French cities for which loans floated through American bankers paying coupons on those loans on the basis of the full predeprecaton gold value of the dollar, which that American holders of French bonds are receiving $160 for each one dollar of Interest maturity. That explains why French per cent bonds listed on the New York Stock Exchange selling for than 80 per cent premium, making them the highest priced bonds in the market.
 The British Government also despite it's default on the war debt to this country, has been able to maintain high standing with its private creditors in the United States as is indicated by the fact that British per cent bonds quoted at 20 per cent premium. Evidently the defaulted debt of each nation is considered as thing apart from the credit standing of those countries in the fi- nancial markets, and as obligations that likely again to assume importance in international finance.

HORSE RACING BILL
STRENU0USLy HIT
Citizens Federation Reit.
crates Opposition, Quoting
Star Editorial.

Strenuous opposition to the horse
racing legahzat!on bill, passed by the
House and now pending before the
Senate District Committee, was reit-
Grated today by the Federation Of
Citizens Associations.
George E. Sullivan. chairman of
the Law and Legislation Committee
of the federation, in letter to Chair
man King of the Senate District Com
mittee, said "it seems almost incred-
ible" that any national legislators "of
the present day should favor or coun-
tenance gambling in any form"
THE viewpoint Of this federation
is believed to be a cross-section Of the
real community sentiment in this Dis
trict in opposition to the above bill, p"
Sullivan continued. The District
Commissioners have likewise satisfied
themselves and reported to Congress
that the real community sentiment
here is against the bill"
The federation spokesman. in the
letter which was sent also to all Dis
trict Committee members, quoted a
paragraph from an editorial published
Tuesday in The Star as follows:
There is no pronounced public de-
mand for this legislation. On the
contrary. there is strong opposition to
1t. from an important and worthy ele-
ment Of the community. The hlpe or
that factor of public sentiment Is that
the bill will not pass"

STEEL MEN MEET AGAIN.
Door Remains Open to Special
Labor Board.

NEW YORK. June (P).-Facing a
fast developing crisis in labor rela-
tions, heads Of the Nations steel in
dustry gathered around the conference
table again today to deal with strike
threats from organized labor.
Resumption of their meeting this
morning followed a two-anda- half
hour conference late yesterday with
Hugh S. johnson, N. r. A. administra-
tor. whose arbitration proposals were
received without comment.
While the steel industry leaders
grimly reiterated their refusal to deal
on a closed-shop basis. it was clearly
evident today that the door was still
open for creation of a special labor
relations board, similar to that adopted
for the automotive industry.
At the American Iron and Steel In
stitute where the conference con-
tinued today, the understanding was
that Johnson's request for a labor
board for steel was still an open ques-
ton. although the executives fatty
opposed any board recognizing the
closed-shop principle.
Gen. johnson left Newark, N. j..
airport in an Army airplane this
morning for Washington. So far as
could be learned the steel meeting
had received no communication from
him since he left the meeting last
night.
Before returning to Washington,
johnson said there had been no re-
lection of his proposal for averting
the threatened strike.
He said his conference with tie
executives had been preliminary to
their further consideration of prG-
posals for settling the trouble.

Giving Free Beer
TON.R.A. Workers
Prevented byCode
Picnic of Employees al
Chapel Point Not to
Haze BreU.

N. R. A has devoted considerable
time and effort, and Gen. Hugh S.
johnson has used plenty of words to
defeat the efforts of chiselers. Now,
however, the general finds his own
employees attempting the very thing
he has decried so vehemently.
1t appears that employees Of N. r. A.
have for some time been planning a
picnic at Chapel Point for June 16.
Anticipating typical Summer weather,
the workers decided beer would be
an appropriate part of the days re-
freshment. Consequently. ways and
means to get beer were discussed.
The decision was reached that since
N. r. A. had done so much for the
brewing industry. perhaps the brew
ing industry would like to return the
favor.
But, alas, an N. R. A. code stands
in u e way
Overtures were made to Washing
ton brewers for 80 half barrels Of beer.
The workers didn't ask for prices
they asked for beer-1 300 gallons OF
beer.
The brewers, two of them. were
willing. as they have no objection 20
goodwill gestures. But they must
comply with the code
The N R. A. workers probably will
not have beer at the picnic.

KING MAY ACCEPT
D. C. LOAN CHANGES
Friends of Measure Fear Confer
ence Would Endanger
Final Passage.

Chairman King of the Senate Dis
trict Committee was still undecided
early this afternoon what course he
would follow on the District public
works loan bill, but indications are
that he will, within day or two. ask
the Senate to accept the House
amendments, which would complete
the measure and send it to the White
House.
While the Senate chairman would
prefer to go to conference with the
House in view Of the extent to which
the bill has been pared down, friends
of the measure both in Congress and
at the District Building are anxious
to avoid any developments that might
endanger final passage of the bill.
For that reason Senate acceptance of
the House bill probably will be decided
on.
The original Senate bill allowed the
District to borrow up to $4,000 600
from the Public Works AdminiStra-
ton, while the House measure au-
thorizes not more than $40. .750. 600
In reducing the total authorize ton
the House eliminated the Municipal
Center, program of new school
buildings and an allotment for con-
tinuing purchase of park areas.

The best White House joke of the
season is the one about the newSmen
being excluded from Mr.. Roosevelt S
prep school during his recent visit
there. They were entering the grounds
behind the presidential car when a
submaster of the school interposed,
announcing It was a private school.

into service as reporter, eUen
requiring him to deliuer the school

One newsman without a smile asked
if the proceedings inside had been
orderly and was assured that they
were.
The climax came when the reporters
had their tin-types taken by an itine-
rant photographer near the gate and
sent them inside to the President in
the custody of the submaster, with a
note: Waiting at the gate"
Senators usually arise and speak
without warning or provocation. but
the dignified Senator J. Ham Lewis of
Illinois recently established new
precedent by sending a formal an
nouncement of his intentions to the
Senate press gallery in the following
language:

clusion of the Austin speech, I will ad-
dress Senate On the reply of debtors

FEAR D. {. RELIEF
FUND INADEQUATE
Officials Doubt if $710,052
Will Be Sufficient
for Month.

Fears that the grant of S7l0.052
for all forms of relief activities here
this month would not be suficient for
continuing the program on its present
scale we're expressed today by Dis
trict officials
Facts in the case are being exam
Ined by relief division executives, who
arc seeking to determine where some
activities may be curtailed without
limiting the amount of direct relief
TO the needy if the anticipated deficit
develops.
This information has been placed in
the hands of some of the agents G:
the Federal Emergency Relief Admin
istration. but as yet no direct request
for additional money has been made.
1t was reported
The District originally asked for a
Grant of s800,00O for June. Last week
this request was reduced to S725,OOO
because an examination of the record
showed a decline in the relief load.
Commissioner Allen said today II
was his understanding that the re-
uuest for SIPS 900 was separate from
funds expected for operation OF tran
sient relief, student aid and compile
ZION of the public works art projects.
The grant of $4,000 however. was
for all relief activities. including
these three separate projects. This
makes a difference of approximately
SEQ. 900 in what District officials had
anticipated
If it is found necessary to curtail
any operations later this month, ofti-
cials say. this would be done in cur
failing of money spent for materials,
hiring of trucks or in transient relief
operations rather than in relief given
to destitute families.
