 Too Many Gunmen
 The union plans no sit-downs In Ford plants, he said, because "there are too many gunmen inside and we don't want to give them Q chance at us."
 But the union doesn't intend to abandon the sit-down as Q weapon in industrial disputes, he added. we've never tried to justify tho sit.down as 4egai," he explained, "hut 1t Is an act of poetic justice. As long as Ford keeps using the courts for his own ends, we have to do something to counteract that"
 Only Moved Six Cars
 Claiming that the union strike against the St. Louis plant Is "el' most 100 per cent effective" Frank. ensteen declared: "theyve only moved six cars off the assembly line In the last six days"
 A recent walkout of the union in the Kansas City plant was ended soon after Ford threatened to shut down the plant permanently.
 Adopting a new membership cam paign technique, automobile union workers now call upon members at their homes instead of holding mass meetings, Franksteen said. "That way they can't break up our meetings" he explained. "You can't break up e meeting of two or three men in e pArlor,"

 Regarding Flag Incident
 Regarding the flag incident, Hunt told the United Press:
 Tn our opinion the United States flag accidentally fell into the river while the Japanese were throwing 1t toward the nearby tug, Haitung, according to company ofilcialS who witnessed the seizure"
 Additional details of the seizure were furnished by R. N. Foxx, of pontypool, MonmouthShire, Engp the wharf manager.
 T was attending the berthing of an incoming ship" he said, when an unknown Japanese tug loaded with Japanese naval officers pulled up, They ordered seAmen aboard the American tug, Haitung, which was on the outside of the Feiting, to move in order to permit the Feiting's removal.
 "The Chinese seamen argued, whereupon the Japanese boarded the Haitung and forced Its removal. Then they boarded the Feiting.
 Both Flying American Flag
 "Hoth vessels were flying the American flag.
 T approached the Japanese and attempted to dissuade them. How ever, they ignored me as the Jap anese pulled down the sign of own- ership and threw It at . Feiting crew man who fled to the Haitung.
 "1hen they lowered the United States flag and either intentionally or accidentally threw 1t into the Whangpoo. They made no attempt to recover 1t.
 "Then they holsted the Japanese flag and sailed off after saying that they would return soon for the Hai- tung,"
 Questioned Ownership
 A Japanese naval spokesman ad. mitted that the tugs were returned to the wharf flying American and Italian flags but declared that "the question of ownership remains open"

The jerk of the starting cab lurched them
back against the cushions. Grinnel fshed in
his pocket for a cigarette, then turned to
Winifred. Come on, baby" he said, tell
papa"
Crisp words spilled from her fast moving
lips as she narrated what had happened at the
hospital. She concluded: Sylvia Marlowe's

The words were lost in swirl of noise as the

Get started and don't argue" Grinnel told
him, adding with malicious grin, IF you

The idea caught in the cab drivers mind
The cab shook and swayed as it ratified into
furious speed, following in the wake of the
siren.
For a matter of ten blocks, the cab made
time, then suddenly weaved from side to side
as the driver applied brakes to the protesting
wheels. The headlights showed gray car

splitting tongues of orange-blue fame stabbed
the darkness. A shadowy figure jumped from
behind the big car and sprinted toward the
cab. Twice he half turned and fired an
automatic in the direction of the police car.
A riot gun, laundering into noise, aroused
protesting echoes from the respectable fronts
of the dark buildings that lined the street.

Following a sharp midyear break,
prices OF heavy native steer packer
hides reached the highest price levels
of the year in December. This up
ward trend has been maintained In
spite of the fact that supplies have
been augmented by the forced liquida-
ton of cattle during the drought

While in part the recent increase
has been due to speculative buying.
which, in turn, stems from the
stronger supply-to-demand ratio
which is rapidly developing, the prime
influence is obviously the rapidity with
which leather has been moving into
consuming channels.
1t is estimated that during 1897
shoe production will reach the stu
pendous total of 400 00O, 900 pairs.
Should time corroborate this estimate.
it is evident that higher prices for
hides and leather will be in order.
1t is extremely doubtful if domestic
supplies will come anywhere near fill

Before the breathing spell afforded
by the change-over Of models, two
leading units advertised the sale Of the
New and used cars sold during the
model year came to the staggering
total Of approximately 100000 or
one car for every ten persons in the
United States. For such is the magni-
tude of the used car problem today
that the sale of a new car requires
the sale Of nearly two used cars
1t would hardly appear possible in
view of the above figures, that the
manufacturers are looking forward
to an even better year. But it is so
true that prominent maker recently
announced that approximately 81 per
car had been saved by the purchase
OF a large quantity of steel in advance

that the industry as whole has al
ready bought steel in sufficient volume
to account for six months production

and almost parallel to the all-time
record established in 1929.
From present appearances, strikes
are likely to interfere with production
programs more than has been the case
in the immediate past. Already sew
eral prominent makers of equipment
have suffered interruption of now of
production lines because of Shutdown"
strikes. Therefore, the tendency will
undoubtedly be to build up banks of
assembly parts SO that sudden shut
downs from this cause will not cause
undue loss of time and money.
The profit outlook for automobile
manufacturers is not ss yet clear.
Certain it is that wage increases will
be necessary; steel prices are higher
after the beginning of 1887. which
means that they will affect the latter
half of the model year. Prices of other
materials and supplies are flrming

MAR|HUANA FIGHT
Nationwide Drive Against
Drugs Use in Cigarettes
Promised.

A Nationwide campaign against
the use in cigarettes of the marlhuana
Veed-a narcotic plant believed to
cause insanity-was promised today
by the General Federation of WomenS
Clubs at its annual board meeting
ct federation headquarters here.
Declaring that the increasing use
of the drug is concerning law en-
forcement officers in all the States,
Mrs. William Dick Sporburg of Port
Chester, N. Y, as chairman of the
department of legislation, said that
the federation would wage concen-
trated drive for uniform State mar
cotic act to bridge the gap between
Federal and State laws in the whole
field Of narcotic smuggling and boot
legging.
An entirely new type or class
of person is found using marihuana,"
Mrs. Sporburg declared. Persons
who know nothing about ordinary
weed. It has a most degenerat1ve
effect and its habitual use invariably
leads to insanity"
Tea Is Scheduled.
A tea at the White House, with
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt receiving,
was scheduled for the afternoon.
Earlier, the board was to be ad-
dressed by DR.. Thomas Parran, jr.,
surgeon general of the United States
Public Health Service. in connection
with its work under the Public We'll
fare Department.
Other legislation to be supported by
the federation this year includes re-
peal of section 213 of the economy
act, deportation of criminal aliens,
establishment of national academy
of public affairs for training Govern
ment personnel and uniform State
safety traffic laws.
Calling present laws pertaining to
criminal alien deportation a paradox,
Mrs. Sporburg said:
AN alien in good standing who
may have entered this country years
ago and married an American wife or
husband is subject to deportation if
there is some technical mistake in
the visa, and not even the President
has power to intervene. On the other
hand, convicted criminal, unless he
has served sentence within five years
Of his entrance, is not deportable."
Warns of War.
Capt. Willis S. Bryant, author of
sAnd It Shall Come to Pass
warned the federation of impending
war and asserted that the forces of
destruction loosed in 1914 cannot
compare with what will be loosed
noW-when war comes"
A five-point program to promote
public safety in relation to traffic
hazards was suggested yesterday by
Burton w. Marsh of the American
Automobile Association. 1t includes
legislation, organization and adminis-
tration, engineering, education and en-
5orcement.
"And the significant thing" he said,
ris that where that attack is being
carried on, the results are being
obtained"
