Der 13, it must take steps to qualify
as a contract market"
A similar suit filed in behalf of
the Chicago Mercantile Exchange re-
Gently was dismissed by Federal Judge
John p. Barnes, who held the act
is merely an extensicu of the grain
futures act, already declared con-
stitutional by the Supreme Court.
An appeal has been taken.
The new suit, like the previous one,
alleges the plaintiffs are engaged only
in intrastate commerce and there
fore not subject to Federal regulation.

weary of "the witches cauldron
brewed up" by reports concerning the
official attitude Of the Catholic
Chuch toward Father Coughlin,
Bishop Gallagher said:
You would think Father Coughlin
had committed sin against the Holy
Ghost that couldn't be forgiven in
this world or the next He is simply
fighting Communism and giving to
the people Christ's solution for our
problems"
Father Coughlin, who went to New
York to greet the bishop on his ar
rival there, left for Chicago before
Bishop Gallagher reached Detroit to-
day. The Royal Oak priest is to ad-
dress a rally of the National Union
for Social Justice, Of which he is the
founder and president, in Chicago

Although Father Coughlin is sup

presidency, Bishop Gallagher told
newsmen:
"As far as my present knowledge
of the candidates goes, Roosevelt is
the best of them. Landon is out for
the gold standard, and would put us
back where Hoover left us. I don't
know much about Lemke."

ployers to sever relations with the
Sailors Union of the Pacific climaxed
an assortment of strikes and labor
disputes in the San Francisco area
tonight-only two days before Labor

The trans-Pacific Dollar liner Presi-
dent Hoover remained tied up by the
sailors union controversy.
Thomas G. Plant, representing the
waterfront employers, notified the
union that all projected negotiations
for a future working agreement would
be withdrawn unless the sailors re-
turned to their jobs on the liner i'm
mediately.
Fifteen persons were arrested in
picket lines about an F. w. Woolworth
5-and-10-cent store In San Francisco.
Like nine others arrested yesterday,
they were accused of refusing to obey
police orders to move on" while goods
were being unloaded for the store.
Between 5000 and 1000 lettuce
workers remained on strike in the

Tension in another controversy
eased when employers announced

DETROIT, September 5.-Bishop
Michael J. Gallagher returned from
trip to Europe to his own diocese
today and reiterated emphatically his
denials that the Vatican had in
structed him to discipline the Rev.
Charles E. Coughlin.
There was an inconsequential in
dividual who tried to find a flyspeck
on the beautiful picture painted of
Father Coughlin's activities" he said,
"but explained that the f1yspeck had
already been erased, and this indi-
vidual apologized."
The "flyspeck" reference was to
Father Coughlin's speech in Cleveland
in which he called President Roose-
velt a "liar." The radio priest SUBJ
sequently said he referred to "Candi-
date Roosevelt" rather than "Presi-
dent Roosevelt
II want to say emphatically that
Father Coughlins activities will not
be curbed," the bishop said. Neither
he nor his activities were mentioned in
my interview with the Holy Father
and 1t was not even before the con-
gregation."

tore Romano, which said in an article

approved of some of Father Coughlin's
