RESCUE OF FRANC
CAUSES COMMENT
U. S. Action Seen as Pos
Sible Move for World Cur
renCy Sterilization.
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Possibilities Of worldwide cur
rency stabilization became the sub
ject of renewed comment today az
students of international finance d.
gested the news that the United
States Treasury had come to the aid
Of France and its beleagured franc
during the past month.
The nature of the transaction was
carefully guarded-except for the fact
that great many millions" were in
volved-but its implications became
an immediate topic Of speculation.
Averted Monetary Crisis.
Yesterday at Basel, Switzerland,
Jean Tannery, governor of the Bank
Of France has so graciously said
Of France, announced publicly that
Secretary Morgenthau's broad under
standing Of the situation" and his
supplying Of American dollars, had
averted monetary crisis in that
country late last month.
Morgenthau, questioned at his press
conference, termed his action simply
one of common decency between ma
tions" and said he would rest his case
on what the president of the Bank
about me-"
He reiterated, however, that the
Treasury is adhering to its old pol
icy Of operating on a '24-hour basis
as far as monetary policy is con-
cerned."
I'VE try to meet the situation as
best We can each day." he said.
Bank ExhauStS Aid.
Morgenthau disclosed that the
Treasury had stepped into the French
breach after the Guaranty Trust Co.
Of Paris had exhausted its aid in
keeping the exchange rate in France
from getting out of hand.
The operation was reported in some
circles to have consisted simply of
America supplying dollars to France
with which to buy francs, being paid
for the dollars in gold. Morgenthau
disclosed that Immediately after the
operation he had advised Chairman
Pittman, Democrat, of Nevada, Of the
small Foreign Relations Committee
of the Senate, as well as the minor
ity leader, Senator McNary, Repub-
Lcan, of Oregon, both of whom, he
said, approved the action.

jobs to a man who In "a years Of po-
liticei activity never s.eld public office
until 1893, Mitchell said today he
asked Roper why he did not seem to
fit in the Department Of Commerce.
Roper's reply. Mitchell declared. was
limited to this:
"You are just not leader of men. 3"
Mitchell said he hotly replied in
these words:
Mr.. Secretary, I can't lead those
hard-boiled Republican bureau chiefs
when you agree with everything they
do"
When it was suggested that Roper
seemed anxious to take care OF him,
Mitchell replied:
Sure, he was going to give me a
job. That's the easiest thing he does
is invent jobs"
Mitchell is undetermined now
whether he will support the Presi-
dent next year.
That all depends on who runs
against him." he said. "Of course,
I don't blame this situation in the
Commerce Department on him. . He
can't know everything that is going
on. The President is doing the very
best he can under adverse ctrcum-
stances"
He admitted he suspected he was
being shadowed and that his telephone
wires had been tapped.
Are you having the shadow
shadowed?" he was asked.
"Oh, no, if they want to shadow
me. it's all right I don't care. They
won't find out much, because there
isn't much to learn about me-"
Mitchell promised he would reveal
everything he knew In dribletS.

of Secretary Roper to have him trans

Job which was later given to man
satisfied with $1,000 for the work
involved. AS a last resort, it was

easier than being Assistant Secretary
and carried the same salary, he said,
Mitchell refused to change until he
was ousted by President Roosevelt
Saturday.

NICE PLANS FIGHT
TO GET BAY SPAN
Maryland Governor to Come
Here Tomorrow for Talk
With iCkeS.
BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, June 18.-Taking
issue with estimates made in WASH
ington over the number of men who
would be employed in building the
proposed Chesapeake Bay bridge, Gov.
Harry W. Nice today announced he
will go to the capital tomorrow to
discuss the project with Secretary OF
the Interior Harold L. Ickes.
The order of President Roosevelt in
directing that projects to be financed
from the $4,000, ,O0O, 900 public works
fund, will be accepted only if the tota:
outlay on labor is enough to bring
about an average of 81 200 a year for
each laborer. indicated that the plan
for the bay bridge would be scrapped.
Gov. Nice said today he is not dis
couraged by the report that most Of
the $10.000,000 outlay for the span
would 60 to materials, machine hire
and similar items rather than to en-
ployment. Washington officials have
estimated that not more than 5000
men would be given jobs on the
bridge, indicating that most Of the
money would be spent for materials.
Denying that only 5000 men would
be given work, Gov. Nice said that
during all our hearings ON the sub
ject, 1 was informed that about 5000
men would be given jobs-about 5000
of them direct jobs and about 5000
men indirectly.
Il am going to Washington tomor-
row to talk the whole thing over with
Mr.. Ickes. 1 haven't abandoned hope
by any means. I'm going to see If
we can't find a solution to the prob
lem-so that the bridge can be
financed out Of the works funds
Indicating that the construction of
the bridge depends entirely on the
granting of Federal funds, the Gov
ernor said:
Maryland can't build the bridge by
itself. We simply haven't got the
money. If the project is left entirely
up to Maryland, without Federal
funds, then the bridge won't be built.

NEW BILL READY
+ IN NT.V.A. |MPASSE
Drastic Concessions Made
to Foes of Proposed
Expansion Plan.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOclAIeo freSS.
A new Tennessee Valley Authority
bill carrying drastic concessions was
completed today by a special House
Military Affairs Subcommittee in an
effort to break a protracted deadlock
over proposed expansion Of the ad-
ministration's huge Tennessee Valley
program.
The new draft was prepared by
Chairman McSwain and Representa-
tives Montet, Democrat, of Louisiana,
and Schaefer, Democrat, Of Illinois,
for introduction today.
The compromise plan would keep
T. " AS bond issuing capacity at
the present $50,000,0 900. A Senate
approved measure, which the COM
mittee tabled a month ago by a 13-
to-12 vote, proposed to raise the
amount to $100.000,000.
In addition the compromise would:
Place T. v. A. under the strict
auditing of the General Accounting
Ofice after January l, 1886.
Provide that the Authority cannot
acquire private utility properties with
out first attempting to agree on a
satisfactory price" After such an
attempt condemnation proceedings
could be instituted.
Specify that after July 1, 1888, the
agency shall not sell any surplus
power or chemicals below cost of
production.
Require T. v. A. to make frequent
reports on all phases of its operations
to Congress and also to the Federal
Power Commission and State utility
agencies.
Permit T. v. A. hereafter to pass
on all plans for dams and appur-
tenant works for flood control and
navigation on the Tennessee River

the enigmatic situation surrounding
the bill
Reaction Not Pleasing.
The truth is the public reaction to
the N. r. A. decision was not what
the administration desired. President
Roosevelt's friends blame it on the
fact that the country failed to under
stand the issue. Constitutional ques-
tionS are always involved and not
widely understood The sick chicken
case was not one which could be
dramatized easily before the country.
Coal affords broader opportun-
ity. Nearly epery one thinks the bill
is neritorious. A majority OF coal
operators, as represented by pro-
duction tonnage, tDGnt it. The
miners are threatening to strike
unless it is passed. The only people
strongly against it are the large
coal consumers railroads, utilttteSJ
Dho fear higher prices. Non-union
operators also oppose it because it
oiues more poUer to the United
Mine Workers.
The National Coal Association. rep
resenting the industry. has taken no
stand on it, being neither for it nor
against it. Virtually all the northern
operators. except the Mellon crowd.
are for it.
Everyone on the inside of the sit
uation agrees that a swift court test
of the bill is certain. The highest
mine worker authorities say they take
that for granted. So does the coal
association. They all expect that it
will be taken to the Supreme Court
next Winter in plenty of time for a
decision before the 1886 presidential
campaign opens.
That the court will throw out the
bill also is taken for granted by a
majority of authorities. In the Coro-
nado case the court said page 25) {:
Goal mining is not interstate COM
merce and the power of Congress does
not extend to its regulation as such. 3"

Taxes Would Force Code.
But the Guffey-Snyder bill goes
further. 1t taxes all operators and
returns 80 per cent of the tax to
those operators who join up under a
code The purpose of the tax is mere
ly to force the operators in under a
code.
