hall to Times Square.
Last night, with violence still
in the air, police officials were
mobilizing special strong-arm
squads to "crack down" on the
strikers and put an end to the ter
rorism.
Scores were injured as the
striking hackmen pushed north

automobiles were smashed along
the way. When policemen sought
to stop the onward rush, they
were slugged and pushed out of

while their drivers were beaten.
Mounted officers charged the
advancing mob again and again,

The Tydings-McDuffie bill provld'
ing for Philippine independence II

Would REFORM
RAILS, TRUCK
SHIPPING PLAN
Eastman Suggests Merged
Facilities for Lots Less
Than Carloads
SUGGESTS 2 NATIONAL
COMPETITIVE LINES

WASHINGTON, Mar. % (UP)
Complete reorganization of the
nations facilities for handling
freight in less than carload lots
with rail and truck transporta-
ton co-ordinated is proposed IN
q report made public last night
by Joseph B. Eastman, federal CO.
ordinator of transportation.
The report recommends tnat
all rail merchandise services De
pooled into two competing groups
independently managed, with the
public represented in the manage
ment. -,
Eastman emphasized that Meth
err he nor the Interstate Commerce
Commission was committed to the
plan but urged the railroads 10
give it serious consideration as a
Solution of the problem presented
by truck competition and result
ant slumping freight revenues.
The report defines merchandise
as "all property transported by
carriers except milk, property
shipped in carload lots and prop
erty transported by pipelines.
The competing merchandise
agencies proposed would be "ot
comparable traffic and financial
strength" and would be owned by
the railroads though managed IN
dependently. The agencies would
have contracts with the roads,
encouraging direct and economl-
cal routing but protecting the
revenues of each participating
carrier" 3;
Merchandise would be collected
and delivered at the patrons door
and would be guaranteed an
"overall speed" of 20 miles an
hour or better.
The plan envisages an inter
locking of rail and truck faclll-
ties through joint rates, lease or
ownership whereby merchandise
would be collected by truck, con-
centrated at key stations by high
way and then moved to a key sta
ton near its destination by rail.
Truck freighting on merchan-
disc is now more economical than
rail freightirg, the report says
but highway carriers are operat,,
ing at inadequate profit. Rail
freighting should be more eco
nomical for any distance above
$50 miles but highway transpor-
tation will continue to be cheap

zone where the two methods OPP

BORAH CONDEMNS PLANS TO

Idaho Senator Declares Restricted Production Would
End in "Great Detriment to Our Nation
as a Whole"

Without mentioning silver by
name. he said the money ques-
ton" was one this nation must
face in efforts to expand it's for
eign trade.
"The great potential markets
in the world for the United States
are in the orient and Russia"
Borah said. "There, as we we'll
know, the purchasing power of
the people has been reduced to the
vanishing point because, in add
ton to general causes, they have
been robbed use this word de-
liberately-of their medium of ex-
change, their measure of values. "
Before recovery can come to
this country. he added, 1--WE must
restore purchasing power, and one
of the great items in that effort
is the restoration to one-half OF
the world, the money which they
have been using for 1000 years,
the only money they can use, the
only money they can secure, the
only medium of exchange 1t IS

WASHINGTON, Mar. %. CUP)
The administrations policy of toS-
tering crop reduction while MIL
lions of Americans are hungry
was condemned last night by Sen
ator William E. Borah, Repuoll-
can, Idaho. r
He charged that the program OF
restriction and curtailed produc-
tion if carried to a logical con-
cIusion, would end "in a great
detriment to our nation as a
whole" and would retard econom-
ic recovery.
In an address sponsored by the
Foreign Policy association and the
World Peace foundation, Borah
renewed his charge that monopo-
lies under NRA codes are sap
ping the very foundation upon
which recovery exists"
Expansion of the nations for
eign trade and increase of the
purchasing power of the home
market were urged by the Idaho
senator to replace the crop re-
duetion program.

President Roosevelt's efforts to

widespread capital-labor disturb
ances and cripple his recovery
program approached showdown
today.
Labor and management repre-
sentatives were here seeking to

only word from their leaders to

Almost as alarming were other
labor difficulties, some actual,
some potential.
In New York striking taxicab
drivers rioted and fought police,

hundreds.

week and increased pay envelope.
The move was initiated by Cen
eral Motors, effective through its
40 plants in 20 cities and came
as a counter argument to the
claim of the federation now be-
fore President Roosevelt that in
dustry has failed to live up to
the principles of the national re-
covery act.
Announcements were posted in
the Buick and Fisher body plants
which showed that the work week
will be reduced to SO hours with
raise of hourly wage scale TO
give the workers the same wages
as received at present for the 40
hour week.
The plan is expected to be fol-
lowed throughout the industry
and made effective as soon as
bookkeeping technicalities can be
ironed out.
