A series of steps designed to stamp

today.
A report on this subject, together

to be laid before the city heads by
Prettyman in another day or two.
Prettyman had expected to submit
his proposals today, but withheld
them when he received a suggestion
for cooperation with other Govern

The city attorney has three pro-
grams in mind to prevent contractors
from obtaining rebates of pay from
their workmen. One is to have Dis

inquiries among Workmen on District

and whether rebates are required by
their employers. He has in mind also

PARAGUAY BOLIVIA
WAR STILL RAGING.
Troops Locked insProIonged
Battle for Fort BaIIivian,
in Chaco.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, June 26.-After
S nearly a fortnight of steady fighting
troops were still locked today in
prolonged battle for Fort Ballivian.
Bolivian stronghold in the Chaco
Boreal.
Because of Paraguayan f1anking at
tempts the line of battle is gradually
extending northward until Para
guayans are attacking intermittently
up and down the front, with three
alternate objectives. They are:
!. To dislodge the Bolivians from
Avanti and Ballivian at the south end
of the line.
2. To pierce the Bolivian line in
sectors farther to the north. in order
to drive wedge behind Fort Ballivian
to the Pilcomayo River
3. To outflank the Bolivians at the
northern end of the line in the hope
Of making circle and cutting Boil
Wan communications with Dorbigny.
the next most important Bolivian
stronghold.
All the objectives have proven most
difficult because of massed Bolivian
manpower along the line. The entire
front runs through forest, aiding
surprise maneuvers.
Conflicting claims continued to
come from La Paz and Asuncion, with
the latter denvinp Rolivian assertions
that Paraguayan troops were repulsed
after 12-day drive in the Lake Loa
sector.

NATIONAL LABOR MUST END STRIKE
 OF SHOE WORKERS
Only Means Left to Get 6,OOO HaverhiIl Men
 Back on tile Job

Haverhill, Mass, Mar 13. CUP)- Action by the national labor board appeared to-day as the only means of settling the eight-day strike in- yolving 5000 Haverhill shoe work CTS.
 The New England regional labor board had suggested that opera tives return to the factories pend ing arbitration and blamed officials of the United Shoe and Leather Workers union for the strike. The unions answer to this charge came yesterday wher 5000 workers vot- ed to remain cut until new working agreements were signed by manu- facturerS.
 Meantime, union leaders an- nounced that 33 independent manufacturers had met their terms and that 2,000 shoe workers had returned to work on the new basis. Plants controlled by the Hayerhill Shoe Manufacturers board of trade, however, remained closed with slight chance of either the union or owners breaking the deadlock. President Daniel c. Smith of | the Haverhill Chamber of Com
 merce wired Chairman Robert F. | Wagner of the national labor board asking him to take imme- diate steps to settle difficulties. The chief issues involved were demands by the workers for a new
 agreement providing for reopening of bargaining at any time, and
 wage increases in ratio to any in-
 crease in the cost of living. Manu- lecturers maintained that the agreement submitted here differed from those, effective in other Mass achusetts and New Hampshire shoe centers.

PIERPONT MADE
 CHARGES ABOUT MILK DEALERS
Local Man Appeared as Witness in the Superior
 Court This Morning

Hartford, Conn, March 13-(U. P.)-Dealers are making a profit of nearly 400 per cent on surplus milk they buy for two cents a quart. Morton l.. Pierpont, Waterbury producer-dealer charged in super for court to-day at a hearing on a temporary injunction secured against the state milk control board.
 The hearing was on an order re- straining the control board from continuing ill operation it's so-call- cd equalization fund from which dealers are paid the difference in price for milk not disposed of up to the allotted quota.
 Dealers, Pierpont said. purchase surplus at two cents a quart. Each quart of milk controls 40 per cent cream and out of a 400 quart pur- chase, for which the producer is paid $S the dealer gets 155 half pints of cream selling at IS cents a jar.
 During the summer months. he added, additional profit is made by converting skim milk into ice cream.
 On this surplus last year, he de- 'clared. he figured he owed the board $378.91 but he received a bill for s406.75. r.N
 '''I asked MT Templeton, a mem Der of the board, how he arrived at this figure" said Pierpont.
 'I don't know" Templeton was quoted as replying.
 Pierpont testified that in his opinion the ruling as regards sur plus, theoretically creates a con- dition that virtually does not exist and puts an unfair burden on pro- ducers."
 What is a surplus" he was ask ed by States Attorney Hugh M. AlcorD, counsel for the producer dealers association.
 There isn't any such thing" Pierpont replied.
 There's shortage of milk" he continued. Last fall three-quart- CTS of the dealers were short of milk and it was impossible to buy any"
 What does the milk board do with this money" Alcorn asked, referring to the equalization fund levy.
 "I suppose they've still got it." Pierpont answered. What they are supposed to do is to refund to dealers who claim they bought 60 per cent of their milk at regular prices but only sold so much less than 60 per cent"

 What reason would I have to murder .you?' Kaminski demand cd.
 q don't claim you tried to mur- der me-the commonwealth claims it," replied the sheriff.
 "You claimed in the newspapers I tried to murder you. I don't think you thought I had a gun in my hand. If I had a bomb and you knew it would you have attacked me?"
 q would"
 Couldn't you have fired the gun off in my hand in the struggle and shot yourself?"

 Not me. l had the gun in my hand. I could have shot you as you came toward me-"

 Lieutenant Richard N.

Another state witness was Col onel Roy D. Jones, revolver ex- pert.
 Kaminski asked him if the dyna- mite in his internal machine could have exploded in the courtroom and Jones said no. unless it came in contact with fire or a bullet.
 If the bomb had gone off would it have done any damage?' Kaminski asked.
 "It would have blown up every body in the courtroom" replied Jones.

Sheriff Manning, the first state witness, testified that about three minutes after court adjourned Feb ruary 28 he saw John two feet in- side the door going toward the prisoners cage.
 q saw a package 10 inches square in his hand, held in front of his face" Manning testified. "As I approached, John said: This is a bomb and threw it. I noticed a gun in his hand. I grappled with him and knocked the revolver out of his hand. I then walked toward the judges lobby after the defend- ant had been overpowered, and then found I had been shot in the leg and was bleeding freely"
 Kaminski began a vigorous cross-examination.
 "It is not true I moved toward the cage and I made a rush toward you" he said. "You rushed .at me. did not throw bomb. I dropped 1t with the intention of soaring you. Your mind wasn't quick enough to act. I did not fire a shot"
