But new troubles cropped up, with
Cleveland gasoline dealers on strike
aimed to deprive more than 100000
motorists of their fuel supply and
coal operators predicting a shutdown
Of every mine in Western Kentucky.

cents day in the minimum wage
scale. Plans were being formulated
for a resumption of work.
Operators in Kentucky and other
States, however, protested that they
could not afford to pay the new wage
schedules, ordered by the N. r. A.

SEEK TO prevent
OVERSPECULATION
Federal Reserve Officials Fear
Excesses in SIS, 1000, 100000
Credit.

BY the Associated Press.
Special powers are being sought by
the Federal Reserve Board to protect
the public from speculative excesses."
Danger of such leaning is seen by
reserve officials in a potential credit
supply exceeding $4,000 900 900.
This huge sum was Gov. Eugene
Blacks estimate of credit which men,
ber banks could extend on the basis
of their present record breaking re-
serve of 100000. He figured
members might advance the larger
total without seeking new funds from
Reserve banks.
These excess reserves furthermore
may increase greatly when a period
of credit expansion sets in" Black
said in the Reserve Boards monthly
bulletin.
The board said 'at the present time
excess reserves help to maintain easy
conditions in the money market and
tend to exert an influence toward more
liberal extension of credit by member
banks to trade and industry"
They constitute. therefore" it
added, "a factor favorable to business
recovery. 1t is with this end in view
that the Federal Reserve banks Con-
tributed to their growth through open
market operations"
The board said the existing volume,
however, appears 'far in excess of
probable business needs"
1t thus figured existence of surplus
which might be diverted to specula-
tive imitation.
The board said that "to prevent a
recurrence of speculative excesses" it
may become important for the Re-
serve banks to absorb these excess
reserves swiftly.

istration had allotted $550,o0 to the
Post OfIice Department to construct
a factory at Reedsville for the pur-
pose of manufacturing boxes and
mail bags.
'Epormous profits are made out Of
these boxes" Ickes said, which most
ly are obtained by the post offices
on rental.
Mrs. Roosevelt was not consulted
and knew nothing about the project.
She was interested only in an effort to
furnish something to provide wages
for the subsistence homestead people
at Reedsville.
I'VE never planned to manufacture
furniture at Reedsville. Apparently
the $25, 100000 to which the Senator
referred was the S25,000,000 allotted
for the entire subsistence homestead
program.
IF the Senator has any complaint
to make about the enormous profits
made on furniture sold to the Post
Once Department, it ought to be
made against those who manufacture

between Mrs. Roosevelt and the Sena-

Mrs. Roosevelt ignored Schall's
answer to her sweeping denial that
she was commercializing her name as
Presidents wife to make money on her
own furniture. The gist of his reply
was that N. r. A. must be failure If
her factory in New York was making
