Women's Press Club Satirizes
Ne,u Deal as First Lady Watches

Night Party.

ing and acting the part Of the carica-
tured old lady, she simpered and gig
gled her affection for the President.
Then came a scene called The
Cabinet at Home" Ruth Jones and
Helen ESsary impersonated the vaguer
of the cabinet ladies coping with the
exigencies Of Washington society.
They decried the insistence of the
press. but admitted they would be lost
without them, and while they moaned
about the newspaper women behind
their backs, they we're luscious to their
faces.
The dance Of the New Deal. which
followed, brought down the house.
First came Depression. danced by
Julia BonWit Then came Helena Hill
Weed, vast and utterly ludicrous as
Imitation. She had q green back and
silver skirt and lollopped around
the stage, scattering wheeling bal
looms. She was followed by Corinne
Frazier as the Gimme Girl. and
finally Lora Kelly pranced out with
complete street cleaning paraphernalia
as White Wing.
Bogus Farley Talks.
After this came very clever mono
logue by Lily Likes Shepard. who.
dressed as Gertrude Stein, but i'm
personating J. NJ Farley, gave a talk
on jobs and patronage in the true
Stein fashion.
The tenth stunt was cruelty to
animals rial, with the donkey and
the elephant as complainants. The
cast was, Judge, Violet Libby: att
orney for The defendant. Lee Kreisel-
man; defendant donkey. Martha Stray
er-Jane Ruby: bailiff. Helena Hill
Weed; court clerk, Alice Fox Pitts.
The last act concluded the search
of Uncle Sam for the Constitution.
All during the preceding stunts, this
hunting figure would ramble across
the stage. searching everywhere for
something. unable to explain what it
was he was looking for. Finally, how
ever, the curtain at the back Of the
stage opened and there was the Con-
stitution, portrayed by Aida Rainey,
being competently done up in beauty
parlor. The beauty parlor operators
were Virginia Price, Helen F. Cook,
Isabel Story and Lily Shepherd. They
manicured her, curled her hair and
turned ner out better than ever.
Before the show itself and during
the dinner, Genevieve Forbes Her
rick. president of the Woman's Ma
tional Press Ofub, introduced the
honor guests who we're seated around

and various members of the House OF

Richberg Promise of

THERE Is some talk about TAX

to buy political medal for
L Donald Richberg. The CO.
ordinator's promise Of no in
flation within six years was consid-
cred that good. In fact. there has
been nothing like it since Huey Long
offered to withdraw from the next
presidential race II the New Deal
would share the wealth.
In the first place, none of Presi-
dent Rooseveit's monetary advisers
(of whom Mr.. Richberg Is not one)
can see more than six months ahead
right now. At least none Is straining
his eyes to see six years.
In the second, the word Imitation
is obsolete. 1t has become like the
word "love." 1t describes so much
that it describes nothing.
These factors create an ideal fog
for the widest possible political
prophecy without hazards.
New Deal Easing Credit.
Yet down underneath the haze OF
loose talk you may now begin to see
the bare outlines Of the inflationary

to have in mind.
Quietly they have gone about the

The annual dinner and stunt party
OF the Women's National Press Club
took place last night at the Willard

several uproariously funny acts.
The party was attended by some 500
women, headed by Mrs. Franklin D.

cabinet wives and q list Of notable
honor guests.
Jackie Martin was master Of cere-

COLUMBIA GAS CO.
INJUNCTION ASKED
U. S. Requests Order Under
Antitrust Laws in
Federal Court.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WILMINGTON. Del, March g.,
The Federal Government today filed
injunction proceedings in U. S. Dis
trict Court under the antitrust laws
against the Columbia Gas and Electric
Corp, one of its subsidiaries and eight
individuals connected with the two
corporations or with the Panhandle
Eastern Pipe Line Co
The Governments suit charged that
the defendants have conspired TO re-
strain commerce in natural gas and
that the defendant subsidiary, the Co.
lumbia Oil & Gas Corp. through stock
and bond acquisition of the Pan Han
die Eastern Pipe Lire dominates that
company and has caused Pan Handle
to refuse to sell ard deliver natural
gas to many municipalities and private
corporations in Kansas. Missouri, u
linois, Indiana an6 Michigan
The individual defendants named
are either voting trustees of the COM
mon stock Of the Pan Handle COM
pany or officials Of the two defendant
corporations.
Panhandle Losing Money.
Panhandle has been losing money
through the alleged domination, the
Government charges, and cannot pay
its debts.
The defendant companies, the bill
Of complaint continues, acquired
stocks and bonds of Panhandle so
that Columbia Gas could acquire
complete, absolute and permanent
dominion and control" of Panhandle
and its property and commerce in
natural gas.
This situation. the Government
continues, prevents Panhandle from
competing with Columbia Gas g.
Electric in the natural gas industry.
individuals Named.
The individual defendants are
George H. Howard, Philip G. GoSsler
and Edward Reynolds, jr.. all of New
York; Charles A. Munroe. Chicago;
George W. Crawford. Thomas B.
Gregory and John H. Hillman. jr.. all
Of Pittsburgh, and Burt r. Bay, Kan
sas City, Mo.
The Government asks the court to
adJudge the acquisition Of the Pan
handle stock and bonds in violation
Of the Sherman and Clayton anti
trust acts, enjoin the defendants from
controlling and interfering with PAN
handle. and to order Columbia Oil to
divest itself OF its Panhandle holdings.
On September II, 1880, the Govern
ment complaint alleges, Columbia Oil
& Gas obtained so per cent voting
stock of Panhandle and a large part
of the share capital of Panhandle-to
the extent of $40, 900 900 in bonds with
first-mortgage lien.
Enabled to Dominate.
The acquisition of the stock, the
Government continues, enabled Co.
lumbia Gas and Columbia Oil to DOM
mate the policies of Panhandle.
On the same date, the bill con-
tinues, the Missouri Kansas Pipe Line
Co. contracted to buy from Panhandle
a quantity of natural gas, to be sold
at Indianapolis.
The defendant companies, the Gov
ernment charges, prevented Panhan-
die from delivering gas to Missouri
except on condition that Missouri
Kansas would agree to make, sell and
deliver gas at certain points. Mis-
souri-Kansas refused to make this
agreement, the Government points out.

Whenever you get a mortgage on
your house at the bank. that bank

currency may be issued against it.
You might call 1t currency backed
by mortgages instead of by gold. sill
yer or whatnot. Your house stands

But Little Credit Sold"
This little device supplements an
other depression arrangement, where
by Government bonds may be ham
died in the same way. That is, cur
rency may be issued against them.
Theoretically. this sounds like big
stuff. Actually it is not. The secret
of its operating scope is that of all
factories. It can produce only as
much as it can sell. So far it has
not sold very much credit, because
there is no booming demand for it.
There will be no demand unless btlsi-
ness starts rebuilding. Until then the
interest cost of discounting bonds and
mortgages will make such credit ex-
panSion Improbable and useless.
So the only thing it will do Is to
prepare the way to meet credit de-
mand six months, q year or two from
now, when and if the country needs it.
Government Benefits, Too.
But there is more behind 1t than
that. In this present credit hiatus,
these little devices permit the Gov
ernment to borrow all the money 1t
wants. The Government is one buyer
who is demanding more and more
credit. The banks have no place else
to put their money and no excuse for
declining to take Government bonds.
In view of this. the inf1ationary
possibilities of the mounting public
debt become more and more remote
AS long as the devices work, the Gov
ernment will not need printing press.
Silver does not rate more than a
dimes worth in this big affair. Cur
rency itself is only the loose change
of business. Credit is the big thing
the way the New Dealers are handling
the situation.
This is the truth, the whole truth.
ETC., ETC., as the best authorities here
swear it and see 1t.
Retiring Gold Bonds.
The Treasury is Fastening to obviate
any possible bad results from the ad-
verse portion of the Supreme Court
gold decision. This is one of the most
important hidden implications behind
the $1,000, ,000, 600 of refinancing an
nounced a few days ago.
Most of the bonds which the Treas
ury is taking up are gold bonds. The
ones which will be issued in their place
are not.
The trick is for the Treasury to get
all its gold bonds in before prices rise
above the 1918 level. Then it will
never have to pay out an extra cent
of damages under the Supreme Court
ruling.

that will "crystalize the best aspira-

"In the modern mass-production
establishments" he said, .'the majority
of industrial workers came, in
time, to be composed Of the unskilled
and the semi-skilled, and the skilled
craftsmen Of former days were reduced
to a small group Of pattern, die makers
and machine maintenance workers"
Because Of this, Lewis said, the "or-
ganized labor movement, or the Amer

. test of whether 1t could organize mass
production industry. Craft unions, he
continued, were unable to do this "even
