FOREIGN ISSUE
FACED IN NEW
GOLD SUIT
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
International News Service

AS the January / deadline
neared, the Government today was
faced with another series of legal
battles involving the famous gold
seizure and devaluation policies Of
the Roosevelt Administration.
The issues raised in the suits
may pave the way for another
series of historic decisions by the
Supreme Court on the power Of
Congress to repudiate gold obliga-
tionS and perhaps involve huge
sums.
Foreign Ownership, Issue
One lawsuit, it was learned, will
be filed before the deadline in
which constitutionality of gold de.
valuation as applied to bonds
owned by foreigners is raised.
This issue was specifically
avoided when the Supreme Court
held that Congress had power to
abrogate gold clause bonds in
private, State and municipal con.
tracts, and held abrogation un.
constitutional as to Government
bonds, but, denied relief.
The demand will be made in
the foreign suit that the United
States pay $l,690 for every $1,000
U. S. gold bond, because Of
gold devaluation.
Point Won in Taft Suit
At the same time the Govern.
ment won an important point in
the suit instituted in the Court
of Claims by Robert A. Taft,
Cincinnati, son of the late viii.
liam Howard Taft, in which he
attempted to raise again the
Constitutionality of gold bond
abrogation.
A report was filed by Commits.
sioner C. w. Ramseyer in the
Dixie Terminal case brought by
Mr.. Taft holding that $50 bond
on which he hoped to raise the
issue was overdue on April Is,
1884.

Cotton Goods

NEW YORK. Dec. IS ON S).-The
cotton goods market closed the week
with a scattering Of sales for quick
shipment in a few constructions but
with the market otherwise listless and
inactive. much as 1t was all week.
Prices held firm throughout although
attempts were being made by buyers
to obtain concessions. Mills held that
prices might be advanced after the
turn of the year without regard for
the coming court decisions on matters
vitality affecting the market The
strength of the market, price wise, all
month in the face OF slow trading
and usual seasonal declines during De-
cember seems to warrant the feeling
that such an advance might be
successful.

1895 BANK ACT
DISCUSSED

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-Bank.
ing Act of 1885 and the Social
Security Act were discussed yes
terday at the session of the
American Economic Association
at the Hotel New Yorker.
DR.. Jacob Viner, of the Univer,
sity Of Chicago, declared the re,
cent banking legislation would
stand or fall upon the quality
of the appointments to the board
and on the adequacy for their
tasks of the research and operat.
ing staffS which the board builds
up, he said:
"The new powers Of the
board include both increased
powers Of credit expansion and
increased powers of credit re-
StrictiOn. The former are not
likely to receive much exercise
until the next depression comes.
They may then serve to prevent
a recurrence Of the disastrous
credit contract on the present
depression"
HELD NO CARE
DR.. John H. Williams. of Har.
ward, expressed approval of The
act but cautioned against con,
sidering it as a substitute and a
corrective for the fundamental
defects of our commercial bank
ing structure and practice"
DR.. Eveline M. Burns, of Colum-
bia. criticized provisions of the
social security act which place the
burden for financing of certain
preferential benefits among en-
ployers and workers. She said the
self-suStaining social insurance
provision was unwise, declaring:
ut places the cost Of prOvid-
ing security on the weakest
shoulders"
ADJUSTMENT SEEN NEED
DR.. Ewin Clague. of the Penn
synvania School of Social Work
in connection with the social Sc
curity program said the basic prob
lem was in adjusting our relief Sc
curity system to our producing
economic system.
DR.. Clague said
Instead of a sharp break,
there must be a reasonable
graduation from the one to the
other so that margins can be
maintained, individual incen-
tives can be balanced against
social preSsures and that justice
shall be done between different
classes and individuals"
Numerous other speakers dis
cussed various aspects of the pres,
ent economic picture in the United
States.

TRADE
BIGGEST IN
YEARS

Retail trading in the United
States last week expanded 10 to
80 per cent to the most satisfac'
tory holiday volume in five years
Dun and Bradstreet, Inc, reported
yesterday. The increase over last
year was estimated at IL to Is
per cent.
The better trade was attributed
to the Widespread distribution OF
bonuses. double salary checks, un-
expected bank payoffS and the
heaviest holiday travel in years.
Gains Bigger in Midwest
Higher rate of industrial ac-
tivity in the middle West was held
accountable for larger gains in
that area than in most districts,
the increase in sales amounting
to IL to 20 per cent. The sum-
mary stated that although holi-
day Interruptions lowered the total
of industrial production, the aver
age of daily operations was un-
diminished.
Wholesale trades showed less
than the usual late December de-
clines, but volume of orders was
smaller than the preceding week,
although running well ahead Of
last years showing. Because of the
strong demand, the agency said
some retailers have abandoned
plans for clearance sales o. house
furnishings, radios, furniture,
floor coverings, linens, draperies
and electrical appliances.
Rush for Warm Clothes
Rush orders for blankets, gloves,
mems overcoatS, sweaters and gen.
eral apparel suitable for cold
weather rose as temperatures
dropped in most parts of the coun-
try.
In the heavy machinery indus
try the service stated that pro
duction of farm equipment the
current year was the largest since
1880 and that manufacturers plan
to advance schedules fully 25 per
cent for the first quarter of 1895.
Operations of general industrial
machinery have also been consis-
tently higher, running as much as
so per cent above 1884.
