ACTION
Jurists Find Governor Must

GN.SO "A plea by employers in
Minneapolis for an injunction end.
ing martial law in the truck

by three Federal judges, who said:
Military rule is preferable

Floyd B. Olson, who declared mar.

The employers charged that the
governor, defendant in the
action, had exceeded his authority.

The Federal judges said they
were of the opinion that there is
"subStantial foundation" for the
contention of the employers that
Governor Olson "is using his
powers for the purpose of coercing
them into an acceptance of the

Judges Sanborn, Nordbye and

authorities in Minneapolis to
restore law and order in that

MELLON ON
ALUMINIUM
MuIti-miIIionaire May Bring to
Test Mediation Powers of
u. S. Government
By WILLIAM J. KELLY

PITTSBURGH, Aug. II Q.N.SO.
A labor struggle that may lead to
one of the most important tussles
between big business" and work
ing men and test the mediation
powers of the National Admins
tration came today with strike
of aluminium workers in widely
separated parts of the country.
The American Federation Of
Labor and the Mellon-controlled
Aluminium Company of America
clashed. Thousands of workers
deserted work benches last night,
forcing at least a half dozen
major aluminium plants to close.
Mellon Faces Unions
On one side stands Andrew w.
Mellon. multimillionaire Secretary
of the Treasury during three re-
publican regimes, and his "big
business" associates. On the other
is the labor union with its thous-
ands of members throughout the
country.
The aluminium industry insists
it will not grant the labor de-
mands of the National Council of
Aluminium Workers while the
union remains firm in its stand
to remain on strike until their re-
quests are recognized.
This leaves a strong possibility
that President Roosevelt and his
subordinates may be forced to
step into the stubborn tuSsle as
peacemakers.
Operations Paralyzed
The strike, called after alumni
mum officials rejected peace pro-
posals offered by union representa-
tives, swept over the country.
Four thousand unionists joined
the idle ranks to close plants at
New Kensington, Arnold and
Logans Ferry, in the Pittsburgh
area. One thousand workers
walked out, halting operations at
Massena, N. Y. An Aluminium Ore
Company plant at East st. Louis,
Ill, closed, throwing 1,4OO en-
ployes out of work. Nine hundred

CERTIFICATES
ISSUED BY
TREASURY
Notes Issued Against All Free
Silver in Treasury Prior
to Purchase Act
BY ROBERT S. THORNBURGH
International News Service

Acting in the direction of mild
but apparently definite initiation
Secretary Morgenthau today
launched a program of issuance
Of silver certificates at the rate
of $129 an ounce of silver which
had cost an average of about At
cents an ounce. After confer
ence with President Roosevelt,
Secretary Morgenthau announced:
"The Secretary of the Treas
ury is now issuing silver GER
tificateS against all free silver
which was in the Treasury
prior to the approval Of the
silver purchase act.
AMOUNT LIMITED
I "This amounted to apprOxi-
mately 100000 ounces, the
cost Of which was about $46,-
100000. These silver certifi-
Gates are being issued on a
basis of S1.29 an ounce because
that is required by law for all
silver certificates. The total
amount to be issued, under the
Presidents order, against these
100000 ounces will be of a
face amount of approximately
$4,000, 900.
Most OF this silver, it was un-
derStood, was acquired under the
proclamation of December, 1888,
authorizing the purchase Of newly
mined silver at 641a cents an
ounce, and the acquisition of silver
in foreign markets at varying
costs.
Treasury Makes Profit
Secretary Morgenthau pointed
out that the difference between
the cost of silver involved and this
face amount constitutes seignior-
age under the law. That means
simply the profit to the Govern
ment between the cost of the sill
yer and the face value of the
certificates issued. This will be
shown on the daily statement.
Seigniorage now amounts to
around $7,OO0,0OO based upon the
issuance already of more than
$10,0OO,O00 in silver certificates.
Secretary Morgenthau said:
"The silver now being &C
uuired under the silver purchase
act will, in the regular course,
also form the basis for the iSsu-
ance of silver certificates.
"The silver certificates to be
issued against this silver will
also be issued at $1.29 an ounce
as required by law"
Secretary Morgenthau said, how
ever, that for the present the
Treasury will issue against this
silver an aggregate amount of GER
tificates equal to its cost.
The difference between the cost

held to secure these certificates

Correct Manners

following the wedding cere-
mony? w.
/. Yes, this would seem to be
the sensitive and proper thing
to do. The logic would be that
since there is no marriage,
there would be no wedding gifts
so, as wedding gifts, they
would be returned to the givers,
and thereby Cancelled, as much
as possible.
2. Yes, the bride and groom
receive with their parents, at
the wedding reception.
Winners Keepers
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Is it proper for a guest OF
honor at a bridge party to &C
cept both the bridge prize and
the guest prize?
I contend that when playing
for a prize, whether guest OF
honor or otherwise, if your
score is high that you should
receive the prize, and the
giving of a guest prize is en-
tirely up to the hostess. F.
I agree with you-thoroughly.
When as the guest of honor,
you have the highest score,
you should receive the prize
intended for the highest score.
And the giving of a guest prize
is something else again." en-
tirely a separate factor from
the arize for points.

Back Home


Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
We have just recently moved
back to this city after being
away for several years. Our
friends know of our return.
Some have come to visit US,
but somehow the old cordially
doesn't seem apparent. They
don't call me for the usual
games, and so forth, as was
the practice before.
Should I invite them to my
home for a party? Is that the
customary thing to do?
READER.
Since you and your husband
have lived in this city before,
perhaps your friends do not
take the attitude that you are
newcomers in the community.
And I do think that it would
be very sensible for you to
plan a party inviting the group
to your reeStablished home.
Don't stand on quite the cere-
mony that you would if you
hadn't lived here before, but
give parties to reestablish your
place. This will, I am sure,
revive the old cordially.

CHEVROLET CAR
COMPANY HAVE
SELECTED site

Detroit, Aug. 17-Chevrolet Motor
Company announced today that site
had been selected in Baltimore on
Broening Highway, directly across
from Camp Holabird, for the erection
of a new assembly plant. All agree
ments for the erection of the new
plant have been reached, including the
paving of strip of ground from Hola
bird avenue, which the mayor and the
city council have agreed to pave and
maintain as a city street.
Construction will proceed at once on
the new project, according to state
ment issued by M. E. Coyle, president
of Chevrolet.
The new plant will have an annual
capacity of approximately $4,000 cars
and trucks and will be similar in type
of operations to the nine assembly
plants now owned by Chevrolet. 1t
is proposed to erect a Fisher Body
plant adjacent to the Chevrolet as
sembly plant where closed bodies will
be built and conveyed to the assembly
line in the main plant.
The proposed plants will employ
approximately 1900 men and will sup
plement the present facilities of the
Tarrytown, N. Y, Buffalo, N. Y, Nor
wood, Ohio, and Atlanta, Ga, assem-
bly, plants.
The demand for Chevrolet cars and
trucks in the densely populated areas
along the Atlantic seaboard makes
it necessary for the company to pro-
vide additional assembly facilities.
Plans are now being prepared by
Albert Kahn, architect, who has de-
signed many buildings for Chevrolet

in Detroit and the General Motors ex-
hibit at the Chicago Century of Prog

1t is felt that though these licenses

SHIRT MAKERS PROTEST
PRISON MADE PRODUCTS

The National Work Shirt Manufac-
turers Association, in its program to
abolish competition of prison-made
products on the open market against
products manufactured by free labor
plants, has inaugurated a campaign
through which it proposes to put
through legislation in various States
which will do away with this COMPETE
ton.
Operators of plants on the Eastern
Shore have contended that COMPETE
ton with prison-made shirts has de-
moralized the market and has depres-
sed the industry below the normal
seasonal slump.
At recent meeting with NRA Of
ficials here it was stated the code will
not permit free labor plants to manu-
ufacture garments for anywhere near
the price prison-made goods are sold
to the retailer.
One method has been to encourage
the making Of legislation whereby
the Hawes-C Cooper act can be put into
effect.
The association also is endeavoring
to put over a sales tax similar to the
one which is contained in the law of
the State of Georgia. 1t is also pro-
posed that this sales tax law have a
feature which will compel the manu-
facturer to brand the prison-made
merchandise with stamp or label
reading "Prison made, and also to
have legislation compel the dealer in
