terday declared it's industry will be
destroyed by the reciprocal treaty
with Brazil.
Through the "most favored ma
tion" clause, Russian manganese
now will be allowed in this coun-
try through the "back door" of
the State Department, a state
ment by Association President j.
Carson Adkerson said. He added:
Through trade agreements, do
mestic mines are to be allowed to
fill with water and collapse. Mil
lions Of dollars Of American in
Vestments will be wiped out.
Mines cannot be reopened in
q short period of time allowed in
an emergency when we will be
entirely dependent upon foreign
ores. and possibly disastrously so.
Neither manganese producers
nor the War Department we're
consulted, and manganese, the
most essential, strategic war ma
terial for our national defense and
safety was sacrificed in favor of
Russian and other foreign coun-
tries"
The treaty with Brazil, effective
January /. cuts the present man
ganese duty of one cent per pound
to onethalf cent. Brazil produces
from 20 to 80 per cent of present
imports, and Russia from 40 to so
per cent, according to the State
Department.
This cut will mean a "gift" to
the steel industry of $2,500,000
when the treaty is effective, the
association charged, on manganese
now stored here under bond. There
will be q further "gift" of $780,
900 annually, the association said.

UNIONS BREAK
With EASTMAN

The powerful Railroad Brother
hood broke openly here yesterday
with Federal Transportation Co
ordinator Joseph B. Eastman over
his insistent demands for nation
wide consolidation Of rail termi-
mails.
Meeting secretly, executives of
the 81 standard railroad unions
adopted a resolution providing for
direct negotiations with the Asso-
citation of American Railroads for
an agreement to protect labor
against wholesale diSmissals in
railroad terminal consultations.
The action was attributed to:
l. EaStman's proposals for
countrywide merging of terminal
facilities to slash $50, ,000, 900 from
annual operating costs Of the
roads.
2. Conviction among railroad
union leaders that this program
will slash $35 100000 from railroad
pay rolls and throw thousands
out of work.
8. A growing bellef that the
labor provision of the railroad
emergency act, creating the office
of coordinator, would fail in a
high-court test and that the only
protection labor can have is in an
agreement with railroad officials.
George Harrison, chairman OF
the Railway Executives ASsocla-
ton and president of the Brother
hood of Railway Clerks, a leader
in the meeting, said the action
indicates the railroad unions will
not seek extension of the office
of coordinator. Under the emer-
gency act the office will expire
June IS, 1885. unless it is ex-
tended. The organizations repre-
sented at the meeting have a
combined membership Of approx
mately 100000 railroad workers.

FLEMING LAUDS
BANKING ACT
OF 1895

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-With the
use of such control machinery as
is set up by the banking acts OF
1888 and 1885, the stock market
crash of 1929 could have been
prevented in the opinion Of Roo-
ert v. Fleming, president Of the
American Bankers Association
and president Of the Riggs Ma
tional Bank.
In a speech last night before
the New York Chamber Of Com
merce, Fleming said:
1T is my belief that II we hao
had the machinery now available
and if it had been utilized, the
initiation in the stock market,
which reached such topheavy pro-
portions in the fall of 1929, could
have been prevented"
He said that the control meas
ures "are only effective where
bank credit is being used, and they
provide no control over either in
dividual or corporate buying OF
securities for CASH" He added:
II do not wish to create the i'm
preston that the safeguards I
have outlined constitute a COM
plete control and a guarantee
against occurrences Of the unfor-
tunate happenings Of the past.
ut may be that they are en-
tirely adequate to cope with the
problems Of initiation or deflation
by themselves, but economic forces
which are beyond our present vi
sion may develop the need for ad-
ditional machinery from time to
time.
However, I do think the law as
it now stands gives us the best
machinery we have yet been able
to devise to cope with conditions
such as have been presented to
date"

pared with the same period last

conditions in the District Of Colum-
bia, which have registered a
steady improvement throughout
the current year.

month of 1885 has witnessed a
successive gain, while the monthly
