Coinage of a three-cent piece is
authorized under bill introduced
in the House today by Representa-
tive William F. Drummer D.) of
New York.
Making of such a coin has long
been urged as of great convenience
to purchasers of small articles.
At recent meeting the Ma
tional Newspaper Publishers Asso-
citation also urged that such coin
be authorized on the ground it
would benefit those purchasing
newspapers, the great majority of
which sell for cents.
Mr.. Brunner'S bill late today
will be referred to the House Bank
ing and Currency Committee as a
companion measure to one intro
duced in the Senate April 26 by
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg
CR0 of Michigan.
The coin would be three-fourths
copper and one-fourth nickel,
which would entitle it to the tech
nical designation of "three-cent
nickel"
On one side it would carry an
emblem of Freedom, the word
Liberty" and the year of coin
age. On the reverse side it
would carry the Inscriptions
United States of America and
E Pluribus Unum, together with
a designation of it's value.
The bill also prescribes weights
and alloy specifications for five
and one-cent pieces. All would
carry similar inscriptions.

Coast Guard authorities, with

more of a problem with increasing
amounts of liquor coming into the
country.
Privately officials admitted the
tax on liquor was so high that
the Smugglers still could ply a lu-
crative business with an advan-
tage of SIS to So a case.

the House today.
DeSpairing of Administration
support for the measures, both Of
which have been approved by the
labor committee, Representative
Zioncheck D0 of Washington
was to file a petition to bring
the bill to the Floor.
Backed by other supporters of
the mandatory 3O-hour week, Zion
check hoped to obtain 145 sigma
lures to each of the petitions and
thus assure vote.
William Green, president Of the
A. F.. of L., and Representative
Connery CD of Massachusetts,,
chairman of the House Labor
Committee have appealed to
President Roosevelt to support the
30-hour week bill but the Presi-
dent is said to have opposed
mandatory legislation.
Under the 30-hour week bill,
provision is made for extension of
hours to meet unusual demands
for labor in seasonal occupations.
Beyond this, however, the meas
ure is designed to slash working
hours fixed under NRA codes as
a means of putting millions to
work.

WAR On ICE
RACKET
Tribute of 100000 a Year
Is ExaCted From Dealers,
Says District Attorney
BY FRANK LEE DONAGHUE

Il
NEW YORK, May 3.-Charging
that racketeers are exactin g
tribute from independent ice
dealers in this city at the rate of
more than $2,000,000 a year, Dis
trict Attorney Charles S. Golden,
Of Queens, today fired the open
ing gun Of a triple campaign
against the underworld "big shots"
said to be directing this lucrative
extortion ring when he ordered
police to bring in Angelo Yale,
brother of frankie Yale, mob
leader killed several years ago in
Brooklyn's first machine gun
murder.
Yale, according to Mr.. Golden,
has been accused by Queens ice
dealers of levying a tribute Of
3. cents a cake on all ice sold in
the borough. Two others accused
with Yale also will be questioned
by the prosecutor in Long Island
City.
Evidence Turned Over
In the meanwhile, Mr.. Golden
has turned over information to
Attorney General Bennett, Nathan
Straus, jr., local NRA admins
traitor, and Deputy Market Com
missioner Michael Fiachetti.
According to Mr.. Golden, the ice
racketeers are taking advantage OF
the fact that the NRA code makes
it possible for ice dealers. hereto
fore prohibited from price fixing,
to organize so that uniform cost
may be charged to the public. He
said:
eff this racket is allowed to
flourish practically every one in
New York will be paying tribute
to the underworld. Every time
you take an iced drink, use an
ice bag or cake ice in any form
the racketeers will be collecting
from you"
$12O A Week Demanded
The specific charge leading to
Mr.. Colden's investigation is that
Yale, together with Ralph Ligorori
and Tony Onzi, all of Brooklyn,
has ordered the Independent ASSo-
citation of Rockaway Retail Ice
Dealers, Inc, to pay him $12O a
week to enforce a uniform price
throughout the Rockaway Peninsu-
lar. This section is popular re.
sort during the summer months
and according to statistics COL
lected by the Queens district at
torney, consumes 100000 pounds
of ice a day during June, July
and August.
Rockaway ice dealers have COM
planned that they already have
made two weekly payments to
Ligorori and Onzi, as Yale's repre-.
sentatives. This flat rate will be
