Berlin. July 17.-{UP)-Th three trustees of the Dawes loan. including Gates W. McGarrah of the United States, blocked at the Reichsbank today the reich's rev. enue from customs taxes on beer. sugar. tobacco and brandy.
 The action was taken on the ground that the Reichsbank made the July 15 payment due on the Dawes loan in reichsmarks instead of valid foreign exchange, as stip- ulated.
 The Reichsbank paid in reichs- marks in consequence of Ger. many's recent moratorium on the Dawes and Young plan loans.

 This proposal the state depart ment fiatly rejected in phrases not often resorted to in diplomatic par lance. In it the United States "in- sisted" that Germany without de- lay' take measures to insure American holders of the bonds treatment equally favorable to that accorded British holders of the se- curities.
 Germany promised to pay full interest to the British holders when the British government announced that it would seize German trade balances in London to meet them unless Germany herself made the payments.
 At the same time that the United States informed Germany that American bondholders must be given treatment on the same basis as the British it refused to negoti- ate with the Berlin government either through trade concessions or in any other way.
 The note pointed out that the United States has consistently re- fused to undertake direct negotia- tions of settlements on behalf of holders of foreign securities. The contract having been made be- tween the German government and private citizens. negotiations must be with their representatives, the communication pointed out.
 "This. however, has in no sense implied indifference to the treat ment accorded them" the note continued, referring to the Ameri- can holders. "The American gov ernment has in fact at all times insisted on and defended their right to equality of treatment as compared with treatment given na- tionals of other countries"
 Furthermore, in the opinion of the American government there can be no Justification for differ entiation between creditors having exactly the same unequivocal pledges from the German govern ment.'

LABOR
ADDS VIEW

Employment gains in private
industry since the low point Of
the depression have occurred
both through the natural initial
rebound in business and as a re-
suit of conforming to the provis-
ions of the codes, says the Stand
ard Statistics. Company, in a
survey which continues in part:
Business is conducted pri-
marily from the profit motive,
and concessions on wages and
hours, therefore, are certain to
be offset over the longer term
by the continued introduction
Of lavor-saving machinery. So
long as inventive genius is
permitted to operate, labor will
continue to be replaced by new
facilities entailing lower wage
costs per unit.
"Strife between labor and
management will tend to in
crease labOr-Saving installations
and thus maintain a large body
of unemployed while adjust
ments are in process. There is
reason to believe, however, that
the present conflicts are symp-
toms of the new advances in
labOr's status, and that the
improved methods Of conciIia-
ting differences will make for
q better attitude of compromise
when recovery is more firmly
established"

SHIFTS
MANAGEMENT

Stockholders of Servel, Inc.
failed to re-elect H. H. Springford,
president, to the board Of direc-
tors while adding four new mem
bers in an unexplained manage
ment shift.
No statement was advanced as
to whether Mr.. Springford, $45,-
000-a-year executive, would be re-
tanned as president. Following
close on the heels of his move to
secure wider representation of the
Swedish interests headed by Axel
Wenner- -Gren, who became chair
man, rumorS of an executive
Shakeup were widespread.
Mr.. Springford officially spon-
sored the move to sell the Swedish
group, already large holders in
Servel, more stock as well as op-
tions. The deal, it was officially
announced in January, fell
through, but Mr.. Wenner- -Gren
agreed to serve as chairman with
out compensation.
Among other directors dropped
were F. e. Smith, who was re-
Gently revealed as receiving from
$4,000 to $146,000 in salaries
and bonuses from the company in

OIL COMPANIES
INDICTED

LOS GELES, March "a
GN.SO.-Two oil companies, three
subsidiaries and Al individuals to-
day were indicted by the Federal
grand jury charged with violation
Of the national petroleum indus
try'S "code Of fair competition"
and infraction Of interstate COM
merce regulations.
The blow was said to have been
the heaviest yet delivered by the
United States Government to en-
force provisions of the national
industrial recovery act.
In addition to the Standard Oil
Company Of California and the AS
Sociated Oil Company, the grand
jury indicted the Signal Oil and
Gas Company, a Delaware cor
poration; the Signal Oil and Gas
Company Of California, allegedly
controlled by Standard, and the
Seaside Oil Company, assertedly
controlled by Associated.
In effect, the indictments
charged that the major companies
produced gasoline which was dis
tributed and sold through the
minor firms under different trade
names.
Prices charged by the major and
minor companies were said to
have been identical for first and
second grade gasoline, but on the
third grade product the minor
companies were alleged to have
''undersold" their ostensible COM
petitors.

Spring Outing Takes
Dinners Place on
Bar Calendar

It has been settled that the
Bar Association dinner will not
take place this spring.
The dinner committee Of the as
sociation, meeting recently at the
Mayflower Hotel, decided that
there have been too many dinners
this spring and probably the best
thing would be to postpone the
jamboree until next fall. Maybe
more lawyers will have the price Of
their tickets by that time.
The committee then decided to
put on the spring outing instead,
and President F. Regis Noel agreed
that this would be the thing to
do. So the spring outing will be
held in a few weeks-the exact
date will be determined later
and it will be such a hot affair
the dinner will be forgotten.
The new spring outing commit
tee personnel indicates that it is
going to be a hard day for the
oldsters-because only very young
attorney are to be in charge.
