OsServatore launched counter

The charge was based in last

DR.. Prick said, the concordat made

Thomas E. Dewey's probe of vice
and crime.
So much was learned today as
Dewey's assistant, William B.
Herlands, went into supreme court
to battle an injunction which
seeks to halt the inquiry before it
gets under way.
The injunction petition was
filed by Henry M. Klein, attorney.
who argues that the Dewey probe
is merely fishing expedition"
and that a technicality in the
law prevents the appropriation OF
funds to finance it.
Promise to "Split Town"
Before Justice Peter M. Schmuok
Herlands was to argue that the
money is desired only to pay add
tional needed assistants in the
district attorneys office.
That the investigation will be
anything but a. fishing expedi

to Dewey, who insist the special
prosecutor has mapped a cam
paign against rackets which will
"split the town wide open"
Believing vice to be an overpub

of New York city crime. they say
Dewey will devote little time or eff
fort to it.
Fights Organized Gangs
His great aim will be to break
up the organized gangs which
have invaded the industrial field
and, by combined power over
both employers associations anc
workers unions, play one against
the other.
So great is the power of these
gangs and their leaders that law
enforcing agencies have been vir
tually helpless to combat them
and business men who are their
victims have feared to protest
their domination.
In the sensational expose of
racketeering in the labor unions
conducted last year by the New
York Evening Journal it was
shown nearly every industry pays
tribute to powerful gang leaders

GAINS SHOWN
FOR PRODUCE
CarIot Movement increasing
at Rate of 1000 Carloads
Weekly.

Carlot movement of produce has
been increasing at the rate of 1000
carloads a week lately, owing to
gains for potatoes, apples and many
lines of Southern vegetables, the
Department of Agriculture declared
today in its review of Midwestern
markets.
Potato output" the review con-
tinued, was stimulated by higher
prices. Other northern vegetables
are in light supply as usual near the
close of the season. The spinach
crop is still suffering from the eff
fectS of unfavorable weather and
supplies are lighter than usual.
Orange and grapefruit shipments
are moderate and prices were ris-
ing slowly during the first half of
April.

Week in Review

A buying squirt in the highest
grade industrial issues on the Stock
Exchange this week carried the Dow,
Jones industrial average to new
high for the year and within a few
points of the 1884 high.
Railroad issues and utilities did
not fare as well as industrials, al
though pressure lifted on these
groups. Chemicals behaved best in
the induStrials with several at new
highs since 1881. Coca Cola scared
to a record high and gained IS
points for the week. Railroad shares
recovered substantially Thursday.
Call money slumped to 4 of per
cent and, what was even more sig
nificant, time money rates were
quoted at the same level for some
maturities. The decline reflected a
market glutted with money seek
ing natural level. For more than
a year the money market had been
artificially pegged.
There was cheed in a good show
ing made by electricity output. and
a small gain in steel operations.
Automobile business continued the
brightest of all, and as result of
its resolute attention to higher pro-
duction levels. traders sought auto
mobile equipment shares whose COM
panies profit b. heavier orders from
the motor industry. Car loadings
were better.
Railroad shares had a bit of good
news when the Senate passed the
bill to regulate other forms of trans
portation. 1t now goes to the House.
An adverse item was Chicago 81
Northwestern Railway taking a So
day grace period to meet interest on
its bonds. Steel shares did little
better than hold thei rown. Oils
had some good gains. Silvers lost
slightly on the week, while Colds
we're firm.

JUDGING THE NEW DEAL
NRA, AAA, IVA to Get Court Test

to decide the major principles under
which the leading alphabet agency,
NRA, may continue TO operate.
The outstanding constitutional
point in this case is the extent of
the Federal governments power
over commerce. not merely inter-
state commerce but also the pro-
duction of goods and services which
affect interstate commerce. This is
the nub of NRA.
Many observers expect NRA to
win by single vote in a Sd divi-
sion of the highest court. 1t won

ANTONOW HITS CRITICS
DEMANDING END OF NRA
DiscOntinuance Seen Playing Into
Hands of "Chiselers."

By Times Special
NEW YORK CITY, April 90
Failure of Congress to extend the
NRA beyond June Is would play
directly into the hands of the
"chiseling 10 per cent" of business
men who have sought to hamper
and discredit the recovery measure
from its very inception, Samuel l..
Antonow, president of the American
Druggists syndicate, stated today.
The dropping of the NRA would
simply indicate that an unprin-
cipled, vociferous minority is strong
err than the great majority of legi-
innate business men who have been
living up to the code requirements,
even though in many respects they
have worked hardships on them"
Mr.. Antonow said.
1T will mean that the short
sighted element in every industry
will be able to carry down their
whole industry to its own degraded
level and into the verge of bank
ruptcy, destroying that protection of
wages and hours of work for which
labor has struggled for rs years."

DECATUR WILL Get
NEW INDUSTRY SOON
Huntington Men to Operate
Tomato Canning Plant.

By United Press
DECATUR, Ind, April 2O.-A new
industry, to be known as the De-
catur Packing Co., Inc, will be
opened here this summer, it was an
nounced today.
The new company, which will be
operated by DR.. Meyer D. Deems,
former prosecuting attorney of
Huntington County, Arthur j. Pal
mer and Ross w. Morris, also of
Huntington, will be the largest to-
mato canning factory in Northeast
ern Indiana.
During the peak of the canning
season, between $50 and ITS persons
will be employed by the company.
The industry is contracting farm
ers to grow as much as two acres of
tomatoes for the coming year.

labor of poultry slaughterers, which
were held not to affect interstate
commerce.
NRA has lost about 20 decisions
out of 200 in the lower Federal
Courts, most of them in enforcement
suits.
Agricultural Adjustment Admins
tration has trimmed its sails to the
wind of unfavorable decisions, par
ticularly in the milk cases, without
waiting for Supreme Court deci-
sion. But it is fairly certain that
some of the dozens of AAA contro-
versies will come up in the court's
October term.
Two decisions expected this month
or next from the Circuit Court of
Appeals at Cincinnati are of major
Importance because of their pos
sible effect on legislation, even
though the Supreme Court will not
have time to hand down final rul-
ings on these cases before it adj
journs in June.
Rubber and Coal Cases
One of these is the F'irestone-
Goodrich appeal from National
Labor Relations Board orders for
elections in the Akron tire factories
This involves the validity of Sec
ton IA and of the Labor Board set
up. The other is the Hart coal-code
case from western Kentucky, chal-
longing constitutionality of NRA as
it affects labor and prices in a lead
ing natural-resource industry.
Other major cases which prob
ably will sprawl over court docketS
and headlines for the next year in
clude:
Tennessee Valley Authority
Judge Grubb's adverse ruling
in Alabama enjoining IVA from
buying certain power facilities. A
IVA amendment now pending in
Congress may knock out the Grub
decision as a test case.
Section 7A-The Houde case in
Buffalo involving validity of major
ity rule after an employees election,
and the Weirton case in which
Judge Neilds at Wilmington held
IA invalid and company unions
legal. The Houde case is to be tried
this spring, and the Weirton case
is being appealed to the Circuit
Court.
Tobacco and Rail Pensions
AAA tobacco laW-Judge Dawson
of Kentucky, who held against NRA
in the coal case, found the Kerr
Smith tobacco quota law unconSti-
tutional. On appeal, this case may
involve the validity of the Bank
head cotton restriction act and the
whole processing tax question.
Social security-A Supreme Court
decision is expected April % on
the railroads suit to scrap the Rail-
road Retirement Act of 1884. The
decision probably will define the
limits of Federal power, to govern
social security legislation now pend
ing in Congress.
There are dozens of other tests,
but these are the clear-cut ones.
A test of the Frazier Lemcke farm
mortgage moratorium law is now be-
fore the Supreme Court, and may
be ruled upon in May. No further
monetary tests are expected soon.

TAX REDUCTION
URGED AS Gift
FOR new JOBS
Bounty to Employer Aimed
to Offset Increased
Wealth Levy.
BIZ Times Specinl

By Times Special
NEW YORK, April 20.-A bounty
in the form of lower taxes to the
employer who increases the volume
Of his unemployment was suggested
last night as a means of averting
disastrous results" by imposing ex-
IRENE taxes to bring about redis-
tribution or wealth. The SuggeS-
ton was made by Mark Eisner, pro-
feSor of law on taxation at New
York Law School and chairman of
the Board of Higher Education.
Prof. Eisner also favored greater
concentration of tax powers in the
Federal government to avoid the
"indiScriminate scramble" of Fed
eral. state and local governments
in the multiple system of taxation.
1T is being rather silly" COM
mented Prof. EiSner, ito hope for
extensive unemployment while at
the same time taxing away the mi
tiative and courage which will pro-
mote such unemployment. Would
it not be better if it could be legally
done to give bounty in the way
OF a reduction in tax to the en-
ployer who increases the volume of
his unemployment beyond a speci-
fed limit?"
System "Unscientific"
Instead of talking about increas-
ing taxes on the basis of excess
profits, it might be better to reduce
taxes on the basis of excess employ
ment, and expenditures designed to
improve the environment, welfare
and future security of the worker"
Our unScientific tax system is
almost collossally so from the stand
point Of lack of uniformity, the in
equities and hardships it produces,
and the deadening weight of its
burden. This must be remedied if
it is not to encompass and insure its
own defeat"
There are good many people"
continued Professor Eisner, who
believe in our high taxation as the
means of correcting economic dis
equilibrium. They think that by
imposing extreme taxes upon those
who are still able to bear therc We
will insure a redistribution If the
nations wealth and accomplish
much in the direction of economic
well being.
Cites Law of RatU rms
IF this course of phil osophy is
maintained and translated into leg
islation the result fill be disastrous.
1t is like a family depriving itself
of sustenance in order to fatten a
pig so that when the pig is Slaugh-
tered it will be a jucier morsel for
the family to eat The meal will
not equal the deprivation suffered.
THUS we deliberately permit the
acquisition of large incomes in or
der to tax them away. Soon we
will find that the law of diminish
ing returns will operate inexorab!y
and cruelty"
Congress should submit to the
states a constitutional amendment
Subjecting tax exempt securities
to income levies, according to Pro-
lessor EiSner.

The recent contract applies tC
the East Rand Proprietary mine
near johannesburg, while the next
contract would apply to the So
called Crown mine of the Central
Mining group, which is the largest
of five major gold producers in the
worlds most prolific source of the
precious yellow metal. Central
Mining and Investment Corp. has
eight deep shaft mines in this re-
gion which need air. conditioning.
Held Receptive Market
Indicative of the prospects in
South Africa is the fact that both
York Ice Machinery Corp. and Car
rier Corp, which account for the
bulk of ir-conditioning business,
have established sales agencies
there. In the last year Carrier Corp
has set up a new affiliate, Carrier
South Africa (Pty0 Ltd. Carrier
Corp. will complete soon the first
gold mine installation of air-con-
ditioning in the Robinson Deep Gold
Mine, the deepest in the world,
where miners work 1880, or 1.6 miles,
beneath the earthS surface.
There are two prime reasons for
air-conditioning the deep shaft gold
mines of the Witwatersrand. In the
first place the efficiency of the
miners is immeasurably raised.
Whether white overseer or African
native, men can not work more than
80 per cent of the time in the deep
shafts due to the extreme diScom-
fort of heat and saturated air at
such depths.
Work to Start Soon
BY ir-conditioning the efficiency
of the labor is greatly increased
and this allows deeper penetration,
thus prolonging the life of the
mine. Moreover, richer ores are
generally found at the greater
depths.
Installation of conditioning
will begin in the autumn, which
is the South Africa spring, on the
East Rand Proprietary Mine. Total
cost of the installation is estimated
at $250,000. The contract calls for
cooling from 82.5 degrees F. satu-
rated to 70 degrees F. saturated, a
lowering of virtually 10 degrees in
temperature and humidity. Inc
project will require a special engine
room approximately rs feet by so
feet hewn out of solid rock $500
feet below the surface.
Thus far the two American air.
conditioning firms have Won or
over British rivals in bidding for the
South African gold mine projects.
The British competition to Carrier
Corp. and the York Ice Machinery
Corp. includes Haslem Co., Ltd; j.
& E. Hall, Ltd, and Brown Boveri.
