PRISON GOODS SUIT
AFFECTS ESTATES
Alabama WithdraWs Com
plants Against Others in
Fight on Sales Ban.

~ the Associated Press.
Alabama was authorized by the Su-
prene Court yesterday to amand its
complaint against 19 States which regu-
late sale of prison made goods so only
the 6 States which prohibit sales OF
such goods would be affected.
The agreement was reached after
Alabama sought, before the court. to
anjoin the 10 States from enforcing
laws governing prison-made goods and
TO declare unconstitutional the Hawes-
Cooper act authorizing States to regu-
late these goods.
William L. Martin, representing At
torney General Thomas E. Knight, Jr,
of Alabama. argued the bill of COM
plaint was based on violation of the
sovereign and proprietary rights of his
State.
Interference Charged.
Martin asserted the laws OF the de-
fendant States violated the interstate
commerce clause of the tenth amend
ment of the Constitution.
Answering for the 10 defendants. Will
liam A. Schnader, attorney general Of
PENNSYLVANIA, said the complaint was AN
unwarranted attempt by Alabama to
interfere with the internal affairs OF
the defendants and to prevent enforce
rent of their criminal laws"
It was apparent, Schnader said. that
there was no uniformity among the
State acts attacked and that there was
no justifiable controversy between Ala
bama and the defendants, no agree
ments between the States had been
violated and no effort had been made
to adjust the alleged disputes.
Regulations Differ.
Schnader pointed out the acts of u
defendant States-California Colorado,
Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky. Minnesota,
Montana. New Jersey Ohio, Oregon,
Washington and Wisconsin-only regu-
lated the sale of convict-made goods.
Six of the defendant States, said
schnader. directly restrict sales Of con-
vict-made goods. They are Arizona,
Idaho. Indiana, New York, North Caro-
Tina and Pennsylvania.
Raymond T. Nagle, attorney general
Of Montana, argued for the constitu-
tionality of the HaWes-Cooper act.

LETTER CARRIERS ASK
PAY CUT RESTORATION
National Association Tells Con-
gress There Is No Necessity
for Continuation.

The National Association of Letter
Carriers told Congress yesterday it
thought continuation of the Is per cent
Federal pay cut was unnecessary.
The necessity for the continuation
of the cut in Federal salaries in 1884
no longer exists" the association said
in a memorial. Increased income
taxes due to the business recovery of
the second quarter, new legislation
against tax evasion. and higher rates
of taxation will tend to swell the
revenue side of the budget.
In addition, internal revenue re-
ceipts. which have already been on the
rise. will expand further in 1894. due to
liquor taxes. Other tax yields will also
be increased while customs receipts
have and will continue to grow In the
Post Office Department itself the resto-
ration of the 2-cent postage rate and
rising business will swell revenue"

VALUE OF u. S. JOB
SERVICE STRESSED
Miss Perkins Tells State Directors
Workers and Firms Can
Benefit.

The employment service of the
United States Employment Service
should be made of value to wage
earners and employers alike, Secre-
tary of Labor Perkins last night told
State directors.
The Secretary spoke at dinner at
the Mayf1ower Hotel, which wound up
a one-day session of the directors
given over to discussion of the chang
ing aspects of the Unemployment
service due to curtailment of c. w. A.
projects.
The unemployment service was set
up to take care of emergency condi-
tions and list workers for civil and
public works projects. Eighteen States
are associated with the Government
in this activity, and nine others, Miss
Perkins said, are considering join
ing in.
You who are familiar with condi-
tions in your States can do much to
make wage earners and employers re-
ceptive to the idea of the permanent
service and to show them its obvious
benefits to all parties concerned" she
concluded.

MORGENTHAU ACTS.
To CUT INTEREST.
POLICY et Orthodox Financ-
ing Indicated by Latest
Move.
HS the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A policy of orthodox financing is
indicated, observers believed today,
by the administration latest move
to cut interest charges on the nuge
public debt.
With the approval of President
Roosevelt and the cabinet, Secretary
of the Treasury Morgenthau called
$1,000, 100000 worth of Fourth Liberty
bonds for redemption next Octo-
Der Is.
1t was noted that the announce
nent yesterday that between now
and october Is the bondholders may
be offered a chance to swap their
securities for other Understanding
obligations" This lent support to a
forecast of q continuation Of ortho-
dox financing. The Thomas initiation
amendment would allow the President
to issue non-interest bearing money
to retire the public debt.
Makes Choice by Lot.
In selecting the bonds to be called,
Morgenthau made the choice by lot,
He picked from a glass jar paper
cylinder which named for redemp-
tion in six months those bonds with
serial numbers ending in the digits
8 or 2.
At present interest on the outstand-
Ing public debt of $26 1872, 900 900 aver
ages around 3 per cent, but ranges
from the 4l4 peak on Fourth Liberties
and some Treasury bonds to 007 on
a few 91-day bills-the cheapest rate
ever paid by the Government.
Thus in its call for redemption of
the Fourth Liberties the Treasury will
cut its interest charges considerably.
The new call conceded with Nor
genthaus announcement that sub
scriptions on the Treasury, April IS,
conversion offering of 314 per cent.
1912 year bonds came to S1,03l,-
100000. OF billion in Liberties
called for April Is, $797 100000 were
exchanged for the new securities. OF
S244.234.6O0 in per cent notes ma
turing May ., S234,00O,OOO were eX-
changes.
Stands to Gain $1,000, 600.
On the transaction, the government
stood to gain more than S7,000000
annually in interest costs.
Questions as to whether some Of
the $3.50 100000 profit on dollar
devaluation might be employed to
retire the new call of bonds, were not
answered at the Treasury. Nor were
there replies to queries about the pos
sibility that President Roosevelt might
employ his power to retire interest
bearing securities with non-interest
bearing money.
The text of the official announce
ment. however. was interpreted as
meaning a continuation of the Treas
ury's present policy of borrowing for
its money needs.
In some quarters it was believed
the Treasury did not offer an imme-
diate conversion issue because it did
not want to crowd another financing
operation upon the April exchange
just completed.
Secretary Morgenthau has said he
would prefer to have no new financ-
ing before June Is, when $l74,905 500
in certificates mature. This state
ment was believed by some to postpone
a conversion issue for the called bonds
until the Summer months.
The aggregate of Fourth Liberties
now outstanding is $4,300000,00 At
IA per cent they cost the govern
ment nearly $2O0,0O0,000 year.
