U. S. Attorney Attacks Com
pany As He Closes Case
Based on NRA Code

WILMINGTON, Del, May
G.NSD.-"Bargaining at both
ends" by the company union OF
the Weirton Steel Company was
charged today by Special Assist
ant Attorney General James L.
Fly as the Federal Government
moved to close it's case against
the steel company for alleged VIC
lation of the NRA steel code.
ReSuming his argument before
United States District Judge
John Nields for an injunction to
restrain the steel firm from in
terfering with its workers in Sc
lecting representatives to bargain
collectively with the company
Mr.. Fly asserted:
"The company union at Weir
ton was used to bargain at both
ends-with workers who sought
to organize and with the NRA
administration which sought to
provide a method for such or
ganiZatiOn. Bargaining at both
ends Is inherently vicious"
The Federal counsel said that
in citing the steel company for
alleged restraint of workers in
organizing, the Government was
not advocating any one union or
seeking to import a union" into
the Weirton mills.
Mr.. Fly reiterated his claim
that a substantial number" OF
employees of the steel firm de,
sired membership in the Anal
gamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers (an A. F
of L. union).

father somewhere south of the

returned to her home here.
In Sonora, the governor Of

that the value Of stocks sank
from a maximum of 89,70O mil

$1,000 millions in July, 1882. At
the end Of the period covered
by Mr.. Pecora's report, value Of
stocks had mounted only to 3d.
800 millions.
The report revealed that those
who play the market have ac-

BATTLE OVER
WATERWAY
Ex Representative Says st.
Lawrence Project Would
Benefit Entire World

]. Adam Bede, former Congress-
man from Minnesota, today lauded
the proposed st. Lawrence water
way in answer to Senator Huey P.
Long CD of Louisiana before 200
delegates to the twenty-ninth con-
Vention of the National Rivers
and HarborS Congress at the May
flower Hotel.
His voice reaching high pitch,
which attracted scores from the
hotel lobby to the ballroom, Mr..
Bede said the st. Lawrence water
way would be of incalculable ad,
vantage to the United States and
the world in general. He shouted:
"The st. Lawrence waterway
is no more local than the tides
of the oceans. If the United
States can get out, the world
can get in. 1t would be of
great benefit not only to the
United States and Canada but
to the whole world. 1t Is a
project for mankind and not
Of any selfiShneSs in SO far as
Canada is concerned"
Long Hits Canada
Senator Long a few minutes
before had accused Canada of
wanting the waterway con-
structed for selfish purposes. He
charged that the project would
be built with labor and materials
from Canada but with American
money. He shouted:
eff you delegates here indOrSe
that project, you might as we'll
change the name of the United
States.
'Tt is a project simply for the
advantage Of his Britannia
Majesty, King George the-well,
1 don't remember what his num-
ber is. Anyhow, that's all it is.
England and Canada would
take the 600 million American
dollars to build this ditch and
get all the benefits. They owe
us millions of dollars, but they
have wiped that off the slate.
"Great Britain would shave
you without soap and take off
your cOrnS without removing
your shoes.
Whatever Britain owns is
hers but anything else must be
International"
"And by God, she'll soon own
the United StateS!"
Senator Long was introduced
by Representative Reid as "the
most publicized man in the
world"
Flood Control Debated
Problems of flood control con-
fronting many sections of the
United States were discussed at
the round table meeting today.
Hugh A. Thatcher, chairman
Of the flood control committee of
Los Angeles county, said:
You people don't seem to
realize there is flood control
problem west of the Rocky
Mountains. Yet one of the
greatest problems facing
Southern California is the pre-
ventiOn of floods"
