PEACE BY NIGHT
IS STRIKE HOPE

New Round of Rubber
Dispute ParIeys.
Rx the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Hope that the threatened Akron.
Ohio, rubber strike would be called on
by nightfall was expressed today by
Secretary Perkins.
Preparing for new round Of con-
ferences with Goodyear, Goodrich and
Firestone executives and American
Federation Of Labor officials, the La
Dor Department chief said, however.
she thought the parleys should not be
hustled"
AS an indication of how far she
thought the negotiations had pro-
gressed, Miss Perkins disclosed that
she had called OF proposed trip to
Middleburg, Va, race meet today, but
was sorry she had declined q dinner
invitation.
The federation has threatened to
call the strike in protest against the
Goodrich and Firestone Co.'S refusal
to allow Labor Relations Board elec-
tons in their plants.
Arguments Monday.
After the board ordered the elec-
tionS. the companies carried the orders
to the Circuit Court of Appeals for re-
view. Argument on the motion to re-
view is to be heard Monday in Gin
cinnati. The Goodyear Co. also Is in
volved in the strike threat proceedings.
What proposals the manufacturers
advanced and how much of them the
federation accepted at yesterdays and
last nights conferences with the Sec
retary had not been disclosed this
morning.
One question being discussed. how
ever, Miss Perkins said, was whether
elections should be held with the COM
pany going ahead with its court
action.
There we're many "ifs" involved, she
added. One of these was whether the
Labor Relations Board should super
wise the elections If they we're held.
President Roosevelt and William
Green. president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. kept in close touch
with the negotiations. Secretary Per-
kins conferred with Mr. Roosevelt yes
terday both by telephone and at the
cabinet meeting. Green was consulted
by phone. Coleman Claherty, fedora
ton organizer at Akron. spoke for the
federation at the parleys. With him
were the presidents of the union locals
at the three plants.
Last Side Consulted.
The labor side was the last con-
suited in the conferences, which were
prolonged through last night into the
early morning. At midnight, Miss
Perkins advised the manufacturers to
go to bed. and returned to the Office of
Charles Wyzanski. department solici-
tor. where she. Wyzanski and Edward
F. McGrady, Assistant Secretary, had
talked with the union officials from
early evening.
That conference lasted until early
this morning. Claherty told news
paper men he had no statement.
Miss Perkins sat in with the manu-
facturers twice during yesterday, the
first time before noon and again late
in the afternoon. At this second con-
ference, they submitted the proposals
which Miss Perkins carried to the
federation officials last night.
Between the employer conferences
Miss Perkins talked with Claherty in
McGrady's office.
Passing reporters in the hall outside
her office after the manufacturers
proposals we're submitted, she turned,
smiled and said:
Now we're getting somewhere

Roosevelt Initiates Chests
of Politicians by
Silver Move
BY PAUL MALLON.

w WHENEVER silver comes In
contact with a politician. a
NN chemical reaction takes
Y Y place in both. The polit-
icos here handle gold OF
wheat issues as cody as II they were
handling a sack of potatoes. But,
whenever the silver issue gets near
them, they are transformed into
whirling prophets of an ecstatic
realm of grotesque exaggerations.
This iDas Dhdt happened again
on the latest silver action by the
Treasury. 1t UaS advertised in
some quarters as step to boost
commodity prices. Also as move
to1Udrd imitation. None OF the re-
sponsible Government officials said
such things out loud. But they
did drop hints in quarters which
would giue these interpretations
the widest circulation.
The simple truth seems to be that
the Treasury had to boost the price
of silver again to keep above the
world price. 1t was an automatic step,
required when the world price passed
above the domestic price.

R|CHBERG MAY GET
ARMS PROBE CALL
Senate Group Reserves De.
cision on N. r. A.-CoIt
Arms Co. Issue.
BY the Associated Press.


Senate investigators reserved deci-
sion today as to whether Donald r.
Richberg must appear before them
eventually to give his reaction to
statement that he was slow to use an
N. r. A. enforcement weapon against
the Colt Arms Co.
At the request of President Roose-
welt the Senate Munitions Committee
agreed yesterday not to press for i'm
mediate light" regarding the situa-
ton developing from a strike Of Colt
company employees.
Chairman Nye appeared determined
however. to insist upon a sweeping
public inquiry unless the strike is
settled promptly and in a manner
that seems satisfactory to him.
Intervened to Aid Settlement.
Mr.. Roosevelt explained at his press
conference late yesterday that he had
intervened to halt the proposed in
vestigation because Of the status Of
negotiations for settlement of the
strike. He said he hoped for an early
agreement and that he was willing to
have a full study Of the Colt affair
made later.
Nye has contended that Richberg
for more than week pigeon-holed a
notification of withdrawal of the Blue
Eagle from the gun-making company.
This notification, he explained, would
prevent the Army and Navy from
making further purchases of machine
guns and other arms from the COM
pany.
Turning away-at least temporari-
ly-from the Colt Co.'S labor difficult
ties. the Munitions Committee pre-
pared to hear testimony Monday from
Ben Smith. Wall Street operator
whose name was drawn sometime age
into its investigation of shipbuilding
Will Explain Partnership.
Thin and weakened by a long ILL
ness, Smith faces questioning regard
ing operations which gained for him
and his partner, Tom Bragg, a large
interest in the New York Shipbuilding
Corp. early in the Roosevelt admins
tration and shortly before p w. A.
funds we're put into naval shipbuild-
ing.
The committee has heard testimony
that stock of the shipbuildine COM
pany rose from about 50 share at
the outset of the Roosevelt admins
tration to about S22 a share as the
company prepared to share in the
building program beginning in Au-
gust of 1888.
Recently the committee sought to
learn from L. B. Manning, chairman
Of the board of Cord Corp, whether
Smith and others had advance in
formation of administration plans to
turn over a quarter billion dollars to
the Navy Department for shipbuild-
ing. Advance knowledge Of the Gov
ernment's plans was denied.

Eastern Colorado, the Texas and Ok
lahoma Panhandles and Eastern New
Mexico combined with Dun & Brad
street prophecy of a sharp business
advance to force May wheat to the
dollar mark in Chicago for the first
time since January IL. San Fran
cisco marked up s1.02.
Food Price Rise Due.
A Minnesota agricultural expert
said anonymously: If the Southwest
wheat crop is no better than pros
poets indicate. it is certain to have a
stimulating effect on foods. Wheat
Will be higher; consequently bread
prices will be higher In all probable
ity. meats also will be higher because
OF poor grazing conditions"
r. o. Cromwell, a Chicago expert,
on a tour of Kansas, estimated the
States prospective wheat crop at from
100000 to 100000 bushels below
the $4,000, ,000-bushel Federal report
Of April /.
A well-defined line divided the
storm belt area west of Plains, Kans.,
an Associated Press dispatch from
Dodge City reported.
Between Dodge City and Plains
there are thousands of acres of green
wheat fields undamaged. From Plains
through Liberal and into the Pan
handle the dust has covered highways
and, in places, destroyed nearly all
the wheat and blown millions OF tons
Of top soil away.
Dust Reported Elsewhere.
While soil disturbances subsidized In
the affected region, dust clouds were
reported in the East, West and South.
The crew Of the German steamship
Vogesen. docking at Beaumont, Tex,
said the yellow veil enveloped the ship
SO miles at sea. Muddy rain" fell
IN the Clinch Valley area of Vir-
ginia. Dust settled at Augusta, Ga.
Arizona also experienced the murky
haze, which lessened visibility and
hampered flyers.
The faith Of thousands in a re-
vival of the dust-drought area of the
high plains is reflected in the de-
termination of Ralph Stapleton, S.
year-old farmer Of near Sublette,
Kans. He is going to stick through
another crop season on a farm where
he now has to 'scrape to find enough
feed for three dozen chickens"
Something tells my wife and me-"
Stapleton said today, that this coun-
try isn't going to be a desert. We've
seen 1t produce big crops too many
times"
"Wheat King" to Stick.
State Senator Simon Fishman of
Greeley County, Kans, once known
as "the wheat king" Of his State,
scoffed at those who predict the af-
fected areas Is turning slowly into
desert.
1T has been tough on all of us the
last three years." he said, but it will
rain again as 1t has in the past.
There will again be bountiful
wheat crops and the East will be send
ing out photographers to take pic

"Stick-it-out" farmers predominated,

than 100 families, already had de-
parted from Northwestern Oklahoma,

Future Probabilities.

Those who are neither politicos nor
silverites now see certain future prob
abilities more clearly.
The most important one is that
the merit time the Worid price goes
above the domestic price, President
Roosevelt 1UiI hike the ante again.
When that ,Cill be, no one can tell,
ercept Mr.. Roosevelt He controls
the world price as nell as the
domestic price because he is the
biggest purchaser in the ioorld
market. 1t Das he who forced
his o1Un hand this time by actipely
buying tDorld silver and bidding the
t0orld price up oUer 81 cents an
ounce. No,O he can buy and bid
up the world price again ouer his
neD 71-cent price, hike the domes-
tic price again and ,oork himself
up to sl.29 an ounce.
1t seems to be new kind Of New
Deal card game, in which Mr.. Roose-
velt plays all the hands and gets the
only peek at the kitty besides.
From these facts, you may conclude
that the best way to get rich Is to take
your relief check and buy silver in
Montreal. II looks like easy money,
but there are several unknown fac
tors. The main one is Mr.. Roosevelt.
May Be Long Wait.
While he is committed to a silver
price Of $l.29, he can take so or 100
years to arrive at it, which would be
too long for most spectators to wait.
During the last Is months, he has
raised silver from As cents to II cents,
but you cannot accept that speed as
any indication for the future. Fur
thermore, he could turn around to-
and devalue the silver dollar
commensurate with the gold dollar
and cause the world price of silver to
go down. No one expects him to do
that, because he has gone too far to
back out that way profitably.
What the best authorities here guess
is that he may hike the price once
or twice more, possibly sometime next
year, because that is political cam
paign year. After that, he may not
care what the silver Senators say.
This, Of course, is purely an expert
guess, based on the way the thing has
gone this far.

world price is that the silver Senators
would raise glory hallelujah If it

price which will be increased is that
of silver. The only initiation which
