H. Merle Cochran, attache of the
United States treasury, who was
Struggled in and out of the build
ing, giving rise to reports that the
United States agreement was the
final major factor in permitting
the government move.
The devaluation will increase
the governments gold reserves by
13,00O,000,000 to 17,500,000,O0O
francs. The new gold value of the
franc will be between 40 and 43
milligrams of gold of 80 fineness.
The present value is 65.03 MILL
grams. The franc will be placed
at about 100 to ia francs to
sterling and the dollar will be
worth about 20 to 20 1-2 francs
compared with about 1919 francs
today with the franc around five
cents each compared with today's
6.58 IA cents.
All markets in the nation have
been closed until after parliament
debate ends, probably Tuesday
night. That, coupled with the NOR
atorium on commercial debts pay
able in gold, made it appear that
France is embarking on a period
of managed currency and a viz
tual gold embargo similar to that
now in effect in the United
States. The cabinet also moved to
a 10,000,000,000 equali-
aztion fund to use, as is the one
in the United States, to maintain
the chosen value for the new
franc.
The government alsos announc-
ed six measures Immediately in
voked which are intended to di-
minish any hardships that might
develop from revaluation. These
are:
Cessation of Bank of France
gold sales.
2-Requisition OF gold, COM
penSatable at the present rate.
3-Dispositions to tighten eff
fects of devaluation on small
bondholders, pensioners and war
veterans.
4-Readjustment of salaries,
coupled with measures to prevent
uniustified increase in living
prices.
Glover interest rates on
mortgages and municipal loans.
6-According credits of l,OOO,-
100000 francs at five per cent
for municipalities, 5O0,OOO,OOO
francs for maritime loans and
francs for mortgages.

"precipitate actions"
Care will be taken to prepare
world opinion and justify Sapan's
actions in advance before any Wig
orous military action is taken.
Taminato's funeral with full
military honorS was held late yes
terday on the quarterback of the
Japanese flagship Idzumo, which is
anchored off Shanghai's water
front.
In Marking Japan's diplomatic
activity appeared to be following
traditional lines. Consul-General
ISuma lodged a formal protest
with the Chinese foreign office
covering the Taminato murder and
the earlier assassination in Han
kow of Seijiro Yoshioka, Japa-
nese consular policeman, branding
these murders as part of a def
nitely planned campaign of "anti
Japanese terrorism" He demand
ed a guarantee of the non-recur-
renee of anti-Japanese attacks
and the usual indemnities.
The really important negotia-
tionS were taking place in secret
Ambassador Kawagoe
and Foreign Minister Chang Chun.
Chang, it was understood, des-
patched secretaries to Canton to
consult Generalissimo Chang Kai-
Shek, supreme authority in the
Marking government. The secre-
taries were reported to have car
ried definite Japanese demands,
the chief of which was one giving
the Japanese army free hand in
North China where it wants viz
tually independent and pro-Japa-
nese governments established in
the five North China provinces.
Shanghai continued quiet. Brit
ish patrols were withdrawn from
the Garden bridge, which con-
meets the British and japanese de-
tense sectors of the international
settlement, and the Japanese with
drew most of their patrols from
Chinese territory adjacent to the
areas in the settlement they oc-
cupied with armed forces immedi-
ately after Taminato was shot.
The Japanese, however, continued
in control of the areas surround
ing the Rokusan Gardens which
house the finest Japanese restau-
rant and Geisha house in Shang-
hal.

of the Detroit office, flatly re-
fused to give the name Of union
official in Toledo, o., who is on
the Pinkerton payroll as spy.
Later when LaFollette inquired
why his office was receiving no
more written reports from opera
tors, he said bluntly:
Because l told them not to
write any more"
He laughed with LaFollette and
spectators when the Fisher bodies
"picnic" charge was brought up
and the Wisconsin senator asked:
"That was about the longest
picnic on record, wasn't it,"
at was pretty long, judging
from this record" Rossiter smiled.
He estimated that one-third Of
the agency's income came from
industrial espionage, which was
stoutly defended by Pinkerton.
"a company has a perfect
right" said Pinkerton, "to employ
agents to find out what is going
on in their plant, to protect their
property and guard against radi-
cal operations. If you had plant
wouldn't you want to know these
thingsw
"Certainly not by the methods
shown" snapped LaFollette.
Rossiter said Pinkerton had not
employed strikebreakers for more
than 40 years and did not furnish
guards to manufacturers to keep
plants open in the face of a strike.
Both Rossiter and PinkertOn en-
phasized that the agency did no
sleuthing on divorce cases.
"But you think it is proper and
ethical to hire a man to spy upon
fellow workers." asked LaFol-
lette.
Rossiter said eyes" Pinkerton
nodded in the affirmative.
Neither could give LaFollette
their definition of a communist"
but Rossiter said he understood
the term to mean zone whose
whole purpose is destruction"
Joseph Littlejohn, superintend-
ent of the Atlanta office of the
agency, said industrial espionage
constituted about rs per cent Of
the organizations business, but
replied mo" when asked if any
communists ever had been found
in southern plants.

airplanes began a second
day of merciless air bombing raids
today, and townspeople fled in
panis westward from the city to-
ward Santander.
Casualties in yesterdays raids,
at first placed at between 60 and
100, were revised to a loose "sev-
eral hundred" killed on the basis
of later reports.
Sixteen buildings were dam
aged, including the palace of depu-
ties, and Francisco Echeyarria,
governor of the city, was injured.
A bomb slightly damaged the Brit
iSh consulate.
Eight planes returned over the
city this morning to continue the
attack, intended to force the city's
surrender without a fight while
three rebel columns were moving
westward.
The air raid was in keeping
with Gen. Emilio Mola'S rebel ul-
timatum to surrender by Friday
or suffer the consequences.
Five bombing planes and three
pursuit ships flew back and forth
all day over Bilboa bombing the
principal business section and set
ting many fires.
Heavy damage was caused espe-
cially in the Gale D'Esparpero,
the Gale Rodriguez de Arias and
the Grand Avenue Lopez de Haro.
The north railway station is burn
ing. Government buildings and
