German Steel Is Banned
From TribOrOugh Bridge
Protest of Organized Labor and
Industry Persuades Contractor
to Cancel Order.

New York, N. Y.-The ~subcontrac-
tor on the Triborough Bridge project
here announced that he had cancelled
the original order for 500 tons Of sheet
metal piling placed with German steel
concerns and given a new order for the
steel to Jones x Laughlin Steel Cor
poration OF Pittsburgh.
A strong objection to the purchase Of
German steel for the Triborough Bird
&c, which is a PWA project, was orig
inally made by William Green, presi-
dent Of the American Federation Of
Labor, in a letter to Harold L. Ickes,
Public Works Administrator in Wash
ington.
Mr.. Green emphasized the fact that
~expending relief funds for German
made material would serve to create
employment for German workers, while
American working men who are thor
oughly qualified and are seeking an op-
portunity to produce the same material
are idle" and upheld the contention OF
American labor that PWA funds ap-
propriated for relief purposes Should
be used for the purpose Of creating
work opportunities for the millions of
American working men who are idle
and who have been idle for more than
five years"
Following Mr.. Green's protest, Sec
Rotary Ickes issued an order subjecting
foreign bids for material to drastic rul-
es designed to prevent their being ac-
cepted.

Highway Program
Of improvements
Praised By Werle

Montana's highway improvement pro-
gram has not been in vain if a letter
from John P. Werle of Jamaica, New
York, can be taken as significant, for
Mr.. Werle has taken the trouble to
write Governor F. II. Cooney and the
Highway Commission commend ! Il g
their work.
Mr.. Werle says: after recent tour
of your state and enjoying its hosp;-
tality and fine roads, l feel it incurn-
bent upon me to voice my satisfac-
ton thus.
Recently, I completed a tour of most
OF the United States, from New York
to Washington, south to California and
returning via Arizona, New Mexico,
etc.

way Systems was varied - but in re-
ference to MONTANA, | want to as

CARELESS Of size, population or resour-
ces gave me quite the satisfaction that
your state r Montana gave me.
Your state should be congratulated
upon having in its Highway Commiss-
ion office someone who really UNDER
stands highway construction, mainten-
ance and markings. I found, in my
travels, that your state makes a real
bid for the tourist to come in and
stay, and I can readily conceive that
most OF the people whom I have con-
tacted, have an agreeable idea Of the
attending pleasures awaiting the moto-
ist who traverses or stays in your state.

customer and shopper, regardless Of position in life.

ciples was rightly enforced by the founders. Recog-
milton naturally followed and Symons became known

AFTER RALLY

NEW YORK, April 2 G.N.S)
Gains established in the squirt at
the opening Of the cotton market
today were quickly reduced. Early
in the day the Continent, Liver
pool. commission houses and the
trade were buying but there was
little disposition to follow the
market higher and shortly there
after Liverpool turned heavily
beariSh, concentrating for the
most part in the March contract.
The South, New Orleans and the
spots and locals were consistently
on the selling side.
Initial advances which were
heaviest in the old crop months,
were met by almost immediate
liquidation in all contracts. Rains
were reported over most of Texas
and slight precipitation along the
Atlantic Coast cotton belt. East
Of the Mississippi fair weather
prevailed but west of the river
many sections were cloudy. Tenn
peratureS were moderate.
