ency Of business has been resumed.
1T Is now evident" IL stated, that
the leveling process operating in some
divisions last month was nothing but
a pause in the general uptrend and
did not permit the Interpretation Of
a reactionary movement.
March has started with a resump-
ton of the broadening tendency
which began last October with In
dications that the peaks for the year
are not reached until the third OF
fourth quarters, despite the abrupt
ness Of the degree which the Spring
rise may take.
while some uncertainty Is expected
to continue as long as the course OF
the N. r. A. remains unclarif1ed,
business should be aided by the
greater intensity Of the aggressive
ness which now is producing results
making for more stability than any
temporary emergency or relief pro-
gram could hope to achieve"
Retail trade, said the review, turned
sharply better during the week.
In some districts" it reported,
volume was higher by 20 to 80 per
cent than for the week preceding. -

In addition, the Treasury Is ex-
pected to undertake the conversion
Of additional billions Of Liberty bonds
now bearing interest Of from ~ to
~ per cent.
Top-grade bonds recently sold at
levels approximately duplicating peak
prices touched early in the century.
Following closely on heels Of the
Treasury's announcement Of its
March refunding offerings, the filing
Of the 5000, 900 Swift & Co. issue
with the g. e. G. was viewed by
Chairman Kennedy as significant.
Others May Follow.
As far as s. e. c. oficials could
recall, 1t was the first time since the
war q large corporation had brought
out a long-term issue with q coupon
of less than per cent.
The per cent bonds Swift e. Co.
plans to retire were sold in 1914, be-
fore wartime imitation lifted interest
rates and prices.
Federal authorities were hopeful
other corporations would follow the
lead of Swift e. Co. It was pointed
out several big corporations with good
credit ratings probably could con-
vert outstanding issues profitably.
For S. E. c. officials, a noteworthy
aspect Of the Swift & Co. operation
was the registration cost, described
by one Of It's executives as mo more

Attorney Urges
Federal Control
OF Labor Unions

WASHINGTON, March 25. tU.P)-
Government control over organized
labor unions was recommended to-
day by Walter Gordon Merritt, New
York attorney appearing before the
Senate labor committee on the Wag-
ner disputes bill.
Merritt said labor unions largely
have been relieved of legal restraint
by federal and state laws, and the
Wagner bill removed the last OF
these restrictions. He proposed
amendment of the measure to pro-
vide federal regulation of the trades
unions.
I'VE need a strong labor organi-
zation to keep employers on their
toes" he said, "but we need another

Speaker Declares Many Administrative Provisions
In Measure AS 1t Stands Are "AbsO-
lutely UnwOrkable"

WASHINGTON, March 25 U.P)-
Joseph w. Byrns, speaker of the
house, said today after comforting
with President Roosevelt it was
absolutely essential" to send the
$4,880000,000 work relief bill to
conference with the senate.
Byrns said there were various
administrative provisions in the
senate bill which were absolutely
unavoidable"
He declined to indicate whether
the President was opposed to re-
tention of the billion dollar Thomas
initiation amendment.
Despite the Presidents evident
desire to have the bill revised in
conference before it is sent to the
White House, the house silver bloc
seeks to force a vote on accepting
senate changes in the bill so that
it could be disposed OF Immediately.
Immediate house action on the
bill, however, was prevented when

fused an unanimous consent re-

NAVY PLANS
HUGE PLANES
Construction OF Flying Battle
ships Accompanied By Great
Secrecy

Copyright, 1885, by United PresS)
WASHINGTON, March 25.-Ex-
reriments with huge flying battle
ships" designed to form first-line
defense were surrounded with strict
secrecy today by the navy.
One of the giant planes is being
given a final test by naval officers
on the west coast to determine its
potential fighting ability. A similar
ship at Norfolk, Va, will be ready
for trial flights.
The navy, if satisfied with the
tests, may purchase 80 such planes
at $150,000 each. It would take
year to build them. They would car
ry both bombs and machine guns
and would be among the most dead
ly instruments of war ever con-
structed.
Navy officers vision a fleet of
80 such planes as first-line of de-
fense against naval attack. The
test planes carry six machine guns,
two tons of bombs and have q
cruising range of 5000 miles.
Tentative plans, provided the
ships are constructed. are to distrib-
Ute them on both coasts and assign
some of them to Pearl Harbor, Ha-
waii. They would, it was believed, &c
far toward giving the United States
domination of the Pacific.
"Our idea," one naval official said
'is to develop these planes for use
in both scouting and bombing. They
ought to have cruising range OF
5000 miles"
