Tobacco Crops
Restriction Bill
Passed By House
But Measure Has Little
Chance to Get by Senate
This Session

WASHINGTON, June 7. (UP)
Compulsory restriction of domes-
tic tobacco crops-the makings of
most of Americas smokes - was
voted by the house yesterday, FOG
to 144.
Extending the compulsory con-
troll experiment already in force
for cotton farmers, the bill would
impose a tax of 25 to 33 1-2 per
cent on tobacco produced in ex-
cess of quotas prescribed by the
agricultural adjustment admins
tration. Growers of fewer than
1000 pounds would be exempt.
While designed to restrict the
crop and increase prices received
by the farmer, sponsors of the
bill said it should not affect re-
tail prices of cigarettes and cigars.
From the house ways and means
committee meantime came renew
ed recommendations for q 40 per
cent slash in tobacco taxes that
would bring standard brand Gig
arettes down to a dime a pack
age. The present federal tax is
six cents on each pack.
Asserting that the tax reduc-
ton would permit standard brands
of cigarettes to be sold for a
dime, and 1O-cent brands at two
for Is cents, the committee said
GAS we see it, this will bring
a genuine benefit to the grower
and the consumer The manufac-
turer will make no more profit
per unit than at present, since rep
resentatives of the manufacture
ers stated that all the tax reduc-
tons would be passed on and no
part of it retained"
The committee also argued that
the power prices would stimulate
consumption and permit great
acreage of tobacco to be grown,
in contrast to the limitations en-
visioned by the Kerr bill.
Final passage of either the tax
reduction or the Kerr bill is con-
sidered doubtful.
The administration would in
sist that new taxes be placed on
other products if the tobacco tax
were reduced.
The Kerr bill now goes to the
senate, WHICH already is jammed
with more legislation than it can
complete before adjournment.

ENACTMENT !.
WAGNER BILL
Steel Men Declared Cool
Toward Proposals Of
NRA for Peace
PLAN IS SAID STILL
BEING CONSIDERED
By UNITED PRESS

President Roosevelt was ex-
pected today to intervene to
avert the threatened walkout on
June 16 Of 100000 steel work
ers, approximately one-fourth Of
all employees in Pennsylvania.
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois mills.
The strike would be a paralyzing
blow to American industry and
the recovery program.
Members Of the Amalgamated
association of iron, steel and tin
workers are under orders to
strike unless their leaders de-
mands for union recognition are
accepted by mill owners.
Steel company executives rep
resentingl 90 per cent of the in
dustry resumed their meeting in
New York after announcing "un-
alterable" opposition to the clos
ed shop and determination to con-
tinue negotiations with their en-
ployes through so-ealled company
unions.
Amalgamated association lead
ers denied they ever demanded
the closed shop and threatened
"all hell will break loose" unless
their union is recognized and per-
mitted to negotiate on the ques-
ton of hours Of work and wage
scales on behalf Of all members.
Steel company executives are
understood to have looked coolly
on NRA Administration Hugh S.
Johnson's suggested solution thru
creation of a special labor rela-
tions board for steel but the Iron
and Steel Institute has taken UNI
der consideration General John
sons plan to avert the strike and
will announce its decision in a
few days, johnson stated.
He and Donald Richberg, NRA
chief counsel met with the insti-
tute in New York yesterday.
johnson proposed the creation of
the steel labor board which would
arbitrate differences between the
institute and the Amalgamated
association of iron, steel and tin
workers. In the meantime it was
learned that Roosevelt is pressing
for enactment of the Wagner la
Dor bill, presumably so its pro-
visions can be applied to the dis
pute.

Time; Hear Hays

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, June
7.-UP).-Rain which fell the
entire day Wednesday failed to
dampen the ardor of 1000 Con-
fed.rate veterans here for their
annual reunion. They ate barbe-
cue, danced and mingled with the
ladies as the Sixth Cavalry band
played for them yesterday after
noon in the Fort Oglethorpe gym
nasium.
The rain did cancel plans, how
ever for q reenactment of the
siege of Snodgrass Hill by Fort
Oglethorpe soldiers, with the vet
Grams of '65 looking on. The dis
appointed old soldiers had looked
forward eagerly to visiting again
the Chickamauga battlefield.
A reception last night at Memo
rial Auditorium honored the vet
Grams and affiliated organizations
Sons of Confederate Veterans
and the Confederated Southern
Memorial association-their stats
and members Of the reunion COM
mittees.
At the reunion opening session
yesterday, Edward A.. Hayes, ma
tional commander Of the Ameri-
can Legion, urged that the
American people take an epic
stand against some Of the strange
tenets that are finding a foothold
and like a disease are spreading
to destroy the principles of free
dom and democracy upon which
our nation was founded"
Hayes referred particularly to
instances Of students "being led
into" resisting military training
in colleges"
The Legion commander ex-
pressed pleasure that a common
purpose of service had wiped out
sectional bitterness which 70
years ago stirred his listeners to
battle in the War Between the
States. goo -.

H.P.FLETCHER
G0,P.PlCKF FOR
GUARDIANSHIP
Only a Few Conservatives
in Washington Approve
Action in Chicago
By FRED BAILEY

CHICAGO. June 7.-UP).-
Henry Prather Fletcher. one OF
Colonel Theodore Roosevelts
rough riders, was placed in the
saddle by the Republican party
Yesterday as jockey for the 1896
presidential race.
Fletcher's election as national
chairman to succeed Everett Sam
ders, resigned, was considered at
least a partial victory for the old
guard in the three-day battle
with "young liberals of the
west.
The 62-year-old Pennsylvania
will receive his initial workout in
the November congressional cleo
tons. He will be assisted by a
new campaign advisory commit
tee elected by the national COM
mittee.
Fletcher's election became vir-
tually assured when the commit
tee met afternoon. Western op-
position had failed to gain suf-
ficient strength necessary to de-
feat him. The east and several
far western committee members
were solidly behind the former
ambassador
The vote was announced as 81
for Fletcher and Is for John d.
NJ. Hamilton, the western choice.
Hamilton moved to make the
choice unanimous. The motion
was carried.
WASHINGTON, June 7. (UP).
Progressive Republicans rallied
last night against selection of
Henry P. Fletcher-rich diplomat
and lawyer who served under
seven presidents-as new COP.
chairman.
Middle-of-the-road Republicans
we're unenthusiastic. From only
a few of the old-line conserva-
tives came heartfelt approval.
The net result appears to be
that the party faces new comph-
cations in its effort to WELD d.
vergent western and eastern fac
tions into a solid phalanx for the
1886 offensive against Roosevelt
democracy. Some however, be-
lieved selection Of John D. M.
Hamilton of Kansas as national
committee counsel would placate
the west and help bring the prog
ressives into harmony.
Election of Fletcher was view
ed generally as triumph for the
Hoover faction, and a defeat not
only for the progressives but for
old line fasteners such as New
York Committeeman Charles D.
Hilles who never were enthus-
iastic Hoover supporters.
Fletcher's Washington friends,
said he was not particularly close
to Mr.. Hoover during the last
years of the administration, when
Fletcher was chairman of the
tariff commission,

NO. ABSENTEE
Vote IN OPEN
SUNDAY issue
All BaIloting Saturday Re-
quired to Appear in Per-
son; Majority to Rule

-
No absentee voting will be al
lowed Saturday when the quail
fed electors of Hendersonville go
to the city hall to cast their bal
lots for or against an "open Sun
day."
The notice of election published
by the city council provides that
call qualified voters Of the city
who appear in person to cast their
ballot shall be entitled to vote. "
That knocks out absentee voting,
as voters must appear in person
at the ballot box to do their bal
loting.
The ballot to be voted Satur-
day will be simple one. FOR or
AGAINST the Sunday ordinance.
No voter should be confused by
the wording of the ordinance. The
only thing for the voter to con-
slider is whether he or she is for
or against the so-called "opep
Sunday" If for. vote for the or
dinance; if against, vote against
the ordinance. All of these points
are made plain in the election no.
tice which the city council has
published in the local newspapers.
That city council will be guild
ed by the result of the election is
clear, in spite of contention to
the contrary by some persons who
have discussed the matter. The
last paragraph of the election no
tice states that "Said registrar
and judges shall certify the re-
suit to this board and said hoard
will then be governed by the will
of the majority with respect to
the enactment of said ordinance"
If the ordinance is not enacted
there will be no movies or base
ball on Sunday in Hendersonviile,
as the purpose of enacting the or
dinance is to permit this.
SHIPMAN SUSTAINS
TIMES-NEWS' VIEWS
City Attorney J. f. Shipman,
interviewed by a representative
of The Times-News today, said
that this newspaper is correct in
it's Interpretation Of the ordi-
nance. In order to vote against
the "open Sunday" the voter must
vote against the ordinance, Mr..
Shipman said. A vote for the or
dinance is vote for the "open
Sunday" according to the city
attorney.
The Times-News learns that
some persons in the city have
been told that in order to vote
against the "open Sunday they
must vote for the ordinance. This
is absolutely untrue.

Modern Beer Gets
Regulatory Okay

Present beer is as good or bet
ter than the beer of 1917 in spite
Of the slightly lower alcohol con-
tent, it is announced by the state
regulatory department following
numerous analyses.
The brewers are using on the
average about two per cent less
extract in the wort to brew the
80 per cent beer than they used
in the former beers, and the same
or greater amounts Of malt are
being used in the wort than for
merly.
Seventy samples Of beer were
analysed, 10 Of them being dark
beers and most Of the rest pale
to medium lager type beers. They
contained from 2.03 to AS per
cent alcohol by volume. the aver
age being $40 per cent BY vol
uIne.
Comparison with 81 beers by
the department In 1917 show the
specific gravity Of the 1917 beers
average slightly less and We're
much more uniform than present
beers. The specific GRANTEES Of
the new beers vary from 1.0l08 to
1927, 81 Of them corresponding
closely both as to range and av-
erage to the 1917 beers.
