WARNS AGAINST UNDUE ADVANCE TRADE PRICES
President Asks Senate Not to Consider Tydings
 Maintenance Bill

WASHINGTON, April 28.-Pres- ident Roosevelt has warned against an undue advance in prices in a letter to Vice-President John N. Garner asking that the Senate not consider the Tydings price mainten- ance bill
 The President, in his letter, said:
 "The present hazard of undue advances in prices with the result ant rise in the cost of living, makes it most untimely to legalize any competitive or marketing practice calculated to facilitate increases in the cost of numerous important ar ticles which American householders and consumers generally buy.
 The Tydings bill would permit contracts to maintain prices in In- terstate Commerce on trademarked goods.

Decisions in Wagner Act Grants Priuileges, Also
 Creates Responsibilities
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, April 28--Well the Supreme Court created lim- ited heaven for organized labor but left it with the obligation not to tear up the golden streets.
 That bank of five decisions up- holding the Wagner Labor Act, in effect, said to labor leaders:
 You may go now, and organize labor, and if it cannot be at once drawn into actual union member ship, you may at least get the agree ment of a majority of the workers in any organization to speak col lectively through enc set of repre- |sentatives in bidding for fair pay acceptable living conditions, contin- uity of employment and freedom from harassment.
 But since the same decisions were based on the power of Congress to legislate for peace in industry so the free flow of commerce should not be impaired, the obligation is imposed upon labor as well as in- dustry to keep that peace.
 For every privilege there is a re- sponsibility and the same Congress that extends privileges to labor can impose restraints upon it. For in stance. no one has contended that tho Wa0npr Tahar Acf cof1fennplat . led any such proposition as the sit down strike There is room for more legislation there. The court, in fact, recognized that when it said in the Jones and Laughlin steel case that while there were argu- ments that the act leaned heavily toward labor. it was for Congress to narrow or broaden that policy.

LEAD, S. D., April 28.-Gold and greed again have woven a fantastic story of high grading in the west. This time the nations richest gold mine has been the scene of the all legged thefts.
 Roland K Goddard, U. S. secret service head at Denver, says un- derworld gossip has it that S2,000,- GOO worth of yellow metal has been stolen from the famed Homestake mine here and whisked to secret cache.
 Five men are under arrest and the elusive head man" in the plot. described by Goddard as world travelling soldier of fortune, is sought, but only S6,500 worth of the golden metal has been traced.
 Listens in on Plot
 Homestake officials deny they have lost anything like $2000,000.
 But miners homes in Lead have been searched and officers report they have discovered gold hidden in gold fish bowls, in coffee cans and other receptacles. presumably sec reted to be sold when things cooled off"
 This was but a trickle of gold dust compared to the fortune which men of the underworld are said to have plotted to steal from the high graders, then skip to Mexico and hide, Goddard indicates. From Mexico the metal might have been shipped back to the United States and sold as gold mined there.
 Goddard planted a listening de- vice in rooming house and heard men plan, he says, to steal the gold from the men who had taken it from the Homestake. But he doubts that as much gold as they talked about could have been smuggled from the mine.
 Many Ways to Sneak Out
 Miners might have carried gold from the mine, however, secreting

Agreement Raises Wages in Alaskan
 Salmon Canneries
Union Members Get Hiring Preference-N No Discrim-
 ation Against Alaskans

SEATTLE, April 28.-Conrad Espe agent of the Cannery Workers and Farm Laborers Union, has been joined by Arthur Ellsworth, opera tors representative, in his state ment, made yesterday, that a set clement has been reached between operators and workers calling for substantial wage increases for all workers in salmon canneries.
 Ellsworth, however, disclosed that the increases of from thirty-five to forty percent, announced by Espe, applies only to certain wage brack- cts, namely, the group of workers formerly referred to as Oriental labor and to all labor inside can- neries having specifically to do with processing salmon. Ellsworth added that the union has been recognized by the operators as the bargaining agency for only its own members.
 Other terms of the settlement pro- vide that cannery foremen first hire former crews whose men are mem- bers of the union, then crews whose members the union agrees to accept. It is stipulated, however, that the provision does not mean a "Siring hall' in the sense of rotational system, but that the industry still picks and chooses it's own employees.
 No discrimination is meant against Alaska residents by the agreement. Those Alaskans formerly employed remain secure in their positions.

lit in their clothing, their lunch pails and by other means, to carry to their homes and hide. Because of the United States gold act, pro- hibiting possession of gold and reg ulating it's sale, the metal is hard to dispose of.
 This caused the secret service to investigate reports that the gold was pooled in one cache for ship ment to Mexico.
 Five men, Goddard reveals, have admitted they plotted to steal this gold But thus far Goddard has been unable to discover the cache. . Just how much gold has disap- peared, authorities may never know. About $l4.000,000 worth passes an- nually through the Homestake gates.
 Can't Stop Thefts
 The ore in the Homestake is low grade, running from $3 to $7 ton. The best opportunity for the thefts occm when a rich vein is struck. Tn the history of the Homestake this had happened seldom. But occasionally a nugget is found and it is comparatively easy for a miner to hide this in his clothing. Nearly every famed mine in the west has been the target of high graders and mining men say it is Impossible to stop them.
 In the old Cresson mine at Grip pie Creek, Colo, where the Cres- cent "Vug7 was struck, bank vault door was placed at the head of the underground chamber and armed guards were posted over it.
 The .'vug" was an underground pocket" of gold and the ''pocket" was the size of large room. It yielded more than $1,000,000 in gold.
 Miners were tempted to hide a nugget or two in their lunch pail or in the cuff of their trousers as they went off duty. So some mines installed a change" room, where |eveYy miner changed clothing as he Jeff the property each day.
