its representative to Pittsburgh to
make an investigation and confer
with company officials.
The board also has advised with
the workers in an effort to settle their
differences. 1t stands ready TO assist
the disputants in reaching q satisfac-
tory settlement"
Union officials as late as Thursday
were reported as saying they planned
further efforts to reach an agreement.
A. r. Butler, president Of the Alum
mum Workers Council, and Fred A.
Wetmore, its secretary, at that time
conferred with Harry A. Mills, q
member of the board. The union men
were accompanied by Shishkin.
Attempts at Settlement FAN.
It was understood Mills, after 60
ing over the unions demands with the
leaders, counseled further attempts to
reach an agreement without resort to
strike.
Oflcials Of the board said the rep
resentative sent to Pittsburgh was
John Bowen.
G. G. Carr, representative Of the
Aluminium Co., said Bowen's visit to
Pittsburgh was to determine whether
the company was willing to meet the
workers on any of their demands and
also whether the company recognized
the principle of collective bargaining.
I'VE do recognize that principle, but
do not cor1cede the four points enum-
Grated" the representative said. The
principal issue has been the unions
demand for a closed shop.
Carr challenged the claim Of the
American Federation of Labor that it
had a union membership of at least
so per cent of the firms employees.
I'VE do not concede that they have
anything like SO per cent Of the men
with dues fully paid in the Aluminium
Workers Council" he said. Neither
do we concede the definition of IA
(section IA Of the recovery act, de-
flning collective bargaining) which
they insist upon.
Our definition OF IA Is the same as
all other industries, namely, that col
lective bargaining means employers
shall bargain with any and all groups
who may want to do so, without par
ticularly amounting the A. r. Of L. as
the one and only"

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Monetary Critics Fail to
Take Silver Move
Seriously.
BY PAUL MALL0N.


TINE best monetary critics al
ways laugh when Mr.. Morgen-
thsu sits down 10 play the
a silver lutte. After hearing his
technically perfect rendition
Of Naturalization" they are still
laughing
For many reasons they stubbornly
decline to take the administration
very seriously on the silver question.
The reasons are not hard TO fnd,
no insider or outsider In Washing-
ton believes that Mr.. Morgenthau
(or. indeed. President Roosevelt,
whom he accurately represents) Is
either a silverite or an inhationist.
Their moves on silver are usually
timed 10 meet some inhationary up
rising in Congress, and these moves
so far have been wisely cautious The
latest one Is also in that category.
Three Reasons for Move.
Three very natural reasons for the
move are generally accepted In the
Washington inner circle.
One is the financial situation.
There is nearly a billion and a half
dollars in boarding The people who
are boarding 1t will rush TO put it
back into circulation II they think
monetary imitation is coming The
administrations silver move may en-
courage them TO think so.

7 WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Com- plete Federal control of stock ex- change practices and outlawry of many operations common in the past are proposed in legislation laid before Congress in response to a message from President Roose- welt.
 Identical bills were offefeds in the Senate by Fletcher and in the House by Rayburn. r
 Senator Duncan U. Fletcher. of Florida, said the bill is designed to make stock exchanges the market places for investors and not places of resort for those who would speculate or gamble"
 Primary Purpose
 The primary purpose of the bill is to require registration of all exchanges with the Feedral Trade Commission which would have broad powers to promulgate any regulations for operation.
 Tn addition, the bill would write into the law a number of strict prohibitions and regulations of practices.
