a debt and would pay that debt.

G.N.SO.-Picket lines of long
shoremen and teamsters still
swarmed today about the plant
Of the Seattle acknowledgement,
forced to suspend publication two
and a half weeks ago when other
labor unions gave their support to
a strike called by the American
Newspaper Guild over the dis
missal of two editorial employees.
Three of the papers editorial
staff today wrote to officers of the
guild protesting vigorously against
the use Of their names in guild
bulletins as strikers, or as "neu-
trails"
"Lie" Laid to Guild
Melvin Goldsmith. one Of the
three, wrote in part:

unauthorized use of my name

Of which grew a permanent or

The right of wage-earners to
organize is in no sense chal-
lenged by any member of the in
dustrial council or by the council
itself. We simply take the posi-
ton that the right to organize
does not involve the right to
cOerce and intimidate either the
employers or working men who,
of their own choice, do not care
to associate with organized
labor.
Our predicament here is rem
dered more difficult by reason
of the league between the duly
elected mayor of our city and
the willful forces of organized
labor, where chief interest seems
to be to exploit the working
man, the industrialist and the
consuming public.

AID GIVEN $500
NEEDY HERE

Through allotments totaling
S350,000 the District was enabled
to aid $500 needy persons in the
first year that the Social Security
Act has been in operation, it was
announced today by John G.. Win.
ant. chairman of the Social Sc
curity Board.
In addition to the aid for the
needy, the board also advanced
$63.773 for administration ex-
penses Of the District Unemploy-
ment Compensation Board.
Mr.. Winant explained that the
District was among the first juris-
dictions of the country to become
eligible for all benefits under the
Social Security Act and now re-
Ceives aid through 10 public serv-
ices. These are needy aged assis-
lance. aid for needy blind. aid to
dependent children. unemploy-
ment compensation, vocational re-
Mobilization, maternal and child
health services, Federal old age
benefits and public health serv-
ices.
Under provisions Of the law,
the allotments for needy aid
we're matched with equal or
greater funds provided by the
District itself. He reminded that
in 1884. a year before passage of
the law, old age and needy blind
cases were carried in the status
of charity cases. while it was
possible only to aid 100 depend
ent children.
In June OF this year, Mr.. Win
ant said, under the social Sc
curity law, 4,199 dependent chill
dren in 1888 families had been
aided.

LEGATION since August 10.
They insist that the paramount
issue in the Guild strike, explain
ing the widespread support it has
from organized labor, is an attempt
to impose a closed shop on the
editorial department of the P-I.
If that were accomplished, it is
contended by business leaders, it
would mean that the union would
control the editorial policies of
the press and the general public
could not obtain impartial news
reports of labor disputes.
Stand of Business
The interests of organized bust
ness here are represented by the
Industrial Council of washington,

of Commerce.
In a statement prepared in re-
Spouse to questions by this re-
porter, Herman Ross, manager Of
the Industrial Council, denies that
the council is trying to crush the
labor movement, as charged by
union leaders. It's purpose, he says,
is merely to resist the unreaSon-
able demands of certain factions
of organized labor, headed by will

For the past three years de-

the closed shop on all lines Of

NEW STEEL PRICE
BASIS IS PRAISED
Heavier Orders for March
Delivery Spur lngot Out
put in Week.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associateo Pfess
NEW YORK, March 1l.-"An-
nouncement OF second quarter prices
on all finished steel products, involv-
ing both increases and declines from
recent quoted levels and inaugurating
a quantity differential plan on sheets
and strip steel, gives promise Of early
stabilization of currently irregular
quotations" says the Iron Age.
"Of even more importance was the
official publication by leading pro-
ducer OF price lists on sheets embody-
ing the statement that "If and when
any change Is made in the price as
announced, supplementary or revised
announcement will be issued" This
statement Is believed to bind the
company to adhere to open price
practices and to make it liable under
the Clayton act in the event of devia-
tons.
IF other large companies also pub
lish their prices with similar state
ments the way would seem to be paved
for price stability in the industry.
"Reafirmation of current official
prices on the common finishes Of
sheets, strip steel and carbon bars, on
which price concessions have recently
been widespread. represents an actual
increase in quotations. Reductions
are recorded in enameling stock, while
tin mill black plate and long ternes
| are unchanged.
Placing of heavier orders for March
delivery in anticipation of steadier
second quarter quotations is partly re-
sponsible for another rise in steel
ingot production this week. The gain
of / point is the sixth consecutive
weekly increase and brings furnace
operations to 81 per cent of capacity,
the highest level since early last De-
cember."
