Will Close Doors.
Trading Too Dull
BY the Associated Press.

DS TIC hoSOCldteO HIeSSs
NEW YORK, December 29.-The
board of governors of the New York
Tobacco Exchange today voted to
discontinue trading at once and dis
solve the exchange as soon as the
necessary papers can be prepared.
While official comment was with
held Immediately following the action
OF the board, it was understood in we'll
informed quarters that the decision to
close the exchange, which has been in
operation since September 19, was due
to the lack of sufficient business to
continue operations profitably.
1t was reported in commodity brok-
erage circles that tobacco trading
might be revived on one of the other
already established exchanges at some
future date.
The exchange was established to
provide hedging and trading facilities
in Americas third largest crop. Ini-
tial sales we're made September 10.
The exchange adopted as a standard
contract 10 hogsheads containing TO-
600 pounds of loaf tobacco, U. S. flue
cured type IL, grade B4F. Official de-
livery points were esta ablished at Louis
vile, KY, and Norfolk, Va.
John w. Hanes of Charles D. Bar

Edward A. Brown secretary. The
board of governors consisted of 10 men
prominent in the brokerage fraternity,
including John L. Julian of Fenner g.

NEW YORK, December 29.-The

Oil on the Flames.
When word of possible trouble
reaches headquarters, Bergoff declares,
"one of our contact men Immediately
gets in touch with the head of the
company involved" and he adds.
"If the strike materializes, we get an
order for several thousand men,"
And trouble will materialize if
Bergoff has his way. He leaves the
clear implication that, if there is any
likelihood discomfort may blow over,
his agents are under instruction to pour
oil upon the flames.

organization and encourage company
unionism, as under it the employer may
hire, fire and promote workers without
regard to membership in any organiza-
ton.
Labor has also put forward demands
for a 30-hour week, higher wages,
union representation on the code u
thority and sterilization of produc-
ton.
The NRA Labor Advisory Board
backed the request for a public hearing
on these labor demands before the
code should be extended, but the Ma
tional Industrial Recovery Board de-
cided it was not bound by promises OF
the former NRA administrator, General
] Johnson.
While extending the code I'M
changed without the public hearing
asked by labor, Roosevelt reserved de-
cision as to whether he might later
order a public hearing on annual
wages and seasonal slumps, He said
he intended to Institute a study which
may contribute toward Improvements
in stabilizing employment in the in
dustry and reducing further the effects
of the seasonal factors"
"The manufacturers themselves have
taken important steps since | first dis
cussed the subject with them some
months ago." Roosevelt said. in ad-
dition to what they have done and are
doing in emitting their national shows
and staggering the introduction Of new
models, | believe that we should de-
velop further facts on the seasonal
peaks and valleys OF production in their
bearing upon employment
In identical letters addressed to Pres.
William Green of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and Pres. Alvan Ma
cauley OF the Automobile Manufac-
turers Association, Roosevelt raises
the question OF annual earnings as
compared to daily rates-an issue he
mentioned tentatively in an earlier
radio speech,
81 talked with several of the manu-
facturers last spring in regard to the
objective of so arranging automobile
work that the employees could have
reasonable assurance of employment
through a greater part of the year
than they now enjoy" says Roosevelt
For example, it is not very useful
to pay a mar $40 a day if he is en-
ployed only 65 days in the year. An
other example Statements have been
made that the average earnings of au-
tomotive employees have been less
than 5000 per year for the entire
group.
after such Investigations it will be
possible for me to decide intelligentiy
on the factual basis then presented
whether it will be necessary to arrange
for a public hearing upon the subject"

though it might have been an every
day occurrence.
That loss was bearable, however, be-
cause Bergoff's clients could be ode
pended upon to always pay generously
for the right kind of service"
Among the clients listed by Bergoff
are the Erie, Burlington, Central of
New Jersey, Delaware & Hudson and
Lehigh Valley railroads, the Baldwin
Locomotive Company, the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit System, Standard Oil
and Tidewater Oil, the latter a Mellon
concern, and the city Of New York
under Mayor John Purroy Mitchell.
Bergoff proudly refers to a letter Of
commentator from big Bill" Ed
wards, then street commissioner, for
your very satisfactory handling Of the
strike Of street cleaners"
Bergoff insists that even "the United
States government has used our bu-
reau, but the nature Of the work |
cannot divuIge."
In Shipments Strike.
my biggest job" Bergoff re-
veals, was for the Erie Railroad
in the shipments strike of 1922.
For four and a half months | sup
piled the company with 5000 to
1000 men. The Erie paid about
$2,O90,OO for that job. The exact
figures are the property of the
railroads"
During the war, Bergoff states he
stayed at home "and served my coun-
try" by keeping the railroads moving.
81 considered myself working for the
government" declares this amazing
mercenary. "The job was divided up
between myself and my competitors.
Through conferences with Fred Viii
hanson, then terminal manager Of the
New York Central, l was assigned to
handle the West Shore, the New York
Central and the Erie"
Prepared to Kill.
Bergoff complains that in all the
long years he has been turning strikes
into shambles he has lost three men
killed, but is discreetly silent on the
number of workers who have been
murdered and manned by his plug
uglies.
He makes no attempt to conceal,
however, that his agents are ready
for business" and are prepared for
any emergency" He adds:
Our guards are armed with weapon
of offense and defense, but our %activi-
ties in this connection must be treated
as a trade secret.
in the old days we maintained an
arsenal We have $500 rifles and
plenty OF ammunition. A couple Of
thousand nightsticks were always on
hand. We had two men to keep the
equipment ready for any call"
Tear Gas by Airplane.
To-day we keep pace with modern
equipment"-and that accounts for the
free use of tear gas in recent strikes.
I'VE sent tear gas by airplane to
Georgia in the recent textile strike"

spies and tough guys. Our men were
sent at the request of w. D. Anderson
Of the Bib Manufacturing Company.
He said he preferred one of our men
to ten of the National Guard"
LABOR readers will recall that An
derson's chief claim to distinction is his
advocacy Of a $l.35-a-week budget for
workers families.
"But we ran into trouble with Mayor
Daniel w. Hoan OF Milwaukee in the
utilities strike" Bergoff r%uefully ad-
mits. "He had about $50 Of our men,
sent by airplane, locked up"

ID MINISTER left the house with

he didn't feel well He hadn't slept
much the Ma before and the
thought Of fo1c was nauseating. If
Aunt Kate should take il into her
head that he was sick he knew she'd
poster him about IL.
The world in general was a weari-
some shade OF blue that morning
until Bannister strobe Ato the
Hotel fremont drug store to buy
some cigarets. He had taken one
from the package and paused to
light it when a man. leaning against
the counter. caught his eye.
It was an instant before Bannis-
ter recognized him. Then he
stepped forward. Good morning,
Mr. Hollister." he said.
Matthew HOLSTER turned. Hello.
he said. "Say-Im glad to see YOU.
Let's see. your name is-2"
"Bannister. David Bannister."
That's right. I remember now.
I'm glad to see you, Mr.. Bannister.
Have a cigar
NO. thanks. I think III finish
this cigaret"
Take it," HOLSTER urged, hold
ing out the cigar. Put it in your
pocket and smoke it some other
time. It's a good one-Iu guar
antee that"
Bannister took the cigar because
he did not want TO offend the other
man. He looked at Matthew Hol-
lister appraisingly. From the gray
felt hat 70 his neat black oXfords
everything HOLSTER wore appeared
to be new. His dark blue fleece
overCOat bore no relation whatever
to the worn tweed garment Ban
mister had seen him wear before.
The silk muller was conservatively
correct. SO were the gray gloves.
But the change in HOLSTERS ap-
pearance was more than that
wrought by clothes. He looked
younger. The meek, submissive
manner was gone. To Bannister
the contrast between the man he
was facing and the broken, half
hysterical Matthew HOLSTER who
had cried out that the police must
protect him was almost incompre-
hensible.
Bannister said suddenly, Going
down the street? Suppose We walk
along together"

fact that the aggregate registration
OF automobiles In the United States
cid not decline nearly as greatly as
the tightening up of the purse strings
during the depression years seemed to
suggest.
Registration Of passenger cars and
trucks reached its high point in 1880,
when 26,545 ,281 vehicles were under
license. Last year there were 49,
10000 cars and trucks. This was the
lowest registration volume since it
crossed the 23,000,0 0,000-unit mark in
1927.
The relatively small decline in reg
istrations from the boom period to
the low point of the depression, the
industry's executives say. bears out
the belief that only a few first-time
owners came into the market during
that time The sales authorities as
well as safety organizations are con-
vinced. however, that while durabil-
ity CT modern motor car making may
have been demonstrated to no small
degree during the depression years,
the number of vehicles overdue at
the scrap heap and still being used
run into the many hundreds Of
thousands.
A drive on the use OF cars with
defective brakes, lights, steering gear,
windshield glass and other factors
contributing to safety of operation is
takin gon Sizable proportions in
many localities where fatal accidents
have been particularly numerous In
some sections another qualifications

Of ability to drive safely.
