tertainment halls where patrons were
indulging in some clandeStine amuse-
ment.
Taken into custody were 700 per-
sons. They were charged with par
ticipation in obscene shows.
At one place, the police said, five
nude dancers fitted about on the
stage and preparations had been made
for the showing of an obscene motion
picture. The type of entertainment
offered at the other hall, according to
the officers, was milder, but still not
nice.
The police departments patrol

Far into the morning the officers

cells were filled. 1t was even neces-

Brooklyn.
The acuteness of the situation was
demonstrated by the case of the in

SOUGHT
Attempt Will Be Made to
Synchronize Senate and
House Bills.
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
A drive to synchronize tte Senate
and House stock market control bills
gained force today.
The Rayburn bill, reported formally
to the House yesterday, empowers the
Federal Trade Commission to control
stock exchanges. The Federal Reserve
Board would supervise credit.
The Senate bill carrying the name
OF Senator Fletcher, Democrat, Of
Florida, would create a special COM
mission of five to administer the ex-
change act along with the securities
law Of 1888.
In a move to eliminate as many
differences as possible, Representative
Bulwinkle, Democrat of North Caro-
lima, disclosed today he would offer an
amendment to substitute the Senate
commission provision for the Federal
Trade Commission.
indications are 1t may be accepted.
Senate Debate Next Week.
The bill will be taken up Monday
under procedure allowing seven hours
of general debate and amendments
from the floor. Chairman Rayburn
OF the House Interstate Commerce
Committee said it would require the
entire week to get it through the
House. The Senate also expects to
start debate next week.
Hinder tho DouhttVt, \; A
cent margin requirement is expressed
as the recommendation of Congress,
but the Federal Reserve Board is given
discretionary power to fix minimum
deposits on securities. The Senate
measure leaves the whole issue up TO
the Federal Reserve Board
This bill seeks to save, not destroy
stock markets and business by max
ing necessary changes in time" Ray
burn said
When the House bill was reported
prediction that however sound
many Of the provisions of the bill may
be. the immediate consequences of its
enactment, would not be helpful, but
the reversa," was made in a minority
report submitted by Representative
Merritt, Republican, of Connecticut.
He was the only signer.
Bill Not Vengeance.
The bill is conceived in a spirit Of
true conservatism. said the majority
report submitted by Rayburn 1T at
tempts to change the practices of ex-
changes and the relationships between
listed corporations and the investing
public to fit modern conditions, for
the very purpose that they may en-
dure as essential elements of our eco
nomic system. The lesson of 1929
is that without changes they cannot
endure.
The bill is not a moral pose or a
vengeful striking back at brokers for
the losses which nearly the entire
nation has suffered in the last five
years. Nor is its purpose or effect to
regiment business in any way. 1t is
simply an earnest attempt to make
the belated intelligent adjustments
long required by changing conditions"
This bill seeks to save, not destroy
stock markets and business by making
necessary changes in time.
Merritt. in his minority report, said
committee amendments has greatly
improved the measure, but the orig
inal fundamental objection still re-
mains" This. he said. is that the
measure gives the commission inde-
terminate power over all issues Of
stock. and thus over all corporations

here in the event the cost of the build
ing exceeds the S250000 in public
works funds which City Council has
borrowed for its construction.
At called meeting of the Central
Labor Union of Alexandria. some so
representatives of the 81 labor unions
in this city adopted resolution which
pledges building trade workers to
donate one hour of work for every
extra dollar of taxpayers money that
would be contributed for the compile
ton of the structure in the event the
building could not be finished for the
amount contracted

that the new school can be built for
the amount borrowed if its construc-
ton is carried out on an efficient basis.

require more than six steel men with
their helpers, the labor representatives
stated

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. =
Naturalization of silver today sent
inflationists and hard money ad-
vocates into bitter controversy as
to whether it constituted infla-
tion. The government made ready
to print $1O0,O00,000 in silver cer-
tificates as quickly as possible.
President Roosevelt's proclama-
tion and executive order seizing all
domestic silver, except newly mined
within 90 days will mean issuance
of $1OO,0OO000 in new silver Ger
tificates as rapidly las the presses
can turn them out" Henry Nor
genthau, Jr, secretary of treasury
said.
The congressional inflationary
bloc, headed by Sen. Elmer D.
Thomas, D. Okla, hailed the Sci
zure as a boon for farmers from
the standpoint that it will be easier
for them to pay off their debts.
Hard money advocates, however,
pointed out that issuance of $780,
100000 in new silver certificates
is mere drop in the bucket,
compared to the nearly half billion
dollars in notes now in circulation.
Morgenthau would not enter the
controversy explaining the "trea-
Sury prefers to work on day to
day basis and intends to continue
its present policies of silver Ger
tificateS issuance"
Officials estimate that there are
approximately 200,000,000 ounces
of silver subject to the order in
which the price was placed at 5001
cents per fine troy ounce.
The treasury's policy is to issue
silver certificates at the cost, hold
ing the balance in reserve. This
means an issue of approximately
$100,000,000 in new currency.
Observers saw in President
Roosevelt's naturalization edict a
swift step toward his sound cur
rency" program, which will ulti-
