FISHER PLANT
HIT BY STRIKE
Street Fights Develop Over
Squabble as to Paid
up Dues

FLINT, Mich, April l9. (UP).
Fisher body company today clos
ed it's plant for the second day,
only an hour after it opened with
a force from which union pickets
had barred all non-union workers
and members delinquent in dues.
The Buick division of General
Motors, dependent on Fisher for
its bodies was expected to close
its assembly line again.
Union and non-union workers,
men and women, battled with their
fists in the street, while police in
squad cars cruised nearby but did
not interfere.
Approximately 400 work e 8
were turned back this morning at
the Fisher plant gates by an est.
mated 500 pickets of the United
Automobile Workers Union when
they failed to produce paid-up
membership cards.
Henry Wilson, president of the
U. A. w., said his members would
block the gates with a picket line
every morning as long as 1t is
necessary" to assure 100 per cent
paid.up union membership.

DEFLATIONARY.
GOLD PROGRAM.
IS ABANDONED.
Sterilization Ended to
Pave WAY for Sweeping
Credit Increase
REVERSES POLICY
INSTITUTED In 1886

WASHINGTON, Apr. 10. CUP
The treasury last night abandoned
its deflationary gold sterilization
program, opening the way for
sweeping increases in available
credit and bulwarking President
Roosevelt's new $4.5l2,0 900, 900
Spending-lending attack on the de-
preston.
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau in announcing the reverS-
al of a policy instituted in 1886
as a brake on credit initiation, said
that in the future gold acquired
by the government will be poured
into the credit arteries as needed.
Under the sterilization policy all
acquired gold in excess of $780,
100000 per quarter was taken out
of circulation.
Morgenthau acted after a CON
ference with . Federal Reserve
Board officials who last week
swung behind the recovery drive
by increasing the amount of lend
able bank funds by $750,OOO, 900.
This was done by reducing the
amount of money which banks are
required to keep in reserve against
deposits.
Earlier the treasury had de-
sterilized its entire fund Of mac
tive gold and thus made 81, 400
100000 additional available for
financing the new recovery for
mula. The Securities and En-
change commission also co-operat-
ed to the extent of liberalizing its
regulations to facilitate and assist
small businesses in financing them
selves through the issuance OF Sc
curitieS.
The credit expansion moves by
the treasury and by the Federal
Reserve board are psychological.
Their objective is to make avail
able at cheap rates large supplies
of cash in the event that both
large and small enterprises need
funds for expansion and replace
ments as a result of the hoped Tor
revival of trade.
However, fiscal officials agree
that an adequate amount Oh
money was available to prospec-
tive borrowers before the new
monetary move and that there was
little or no call for it. If the same
situation exists despite the recoV-
cry push, the moves by the treas
urv and the reserve board will be
of no avail. ;.
The gold sterilization policy
dates back to Dec. %, 1885 when
the treasury found millions IN
gold seeking haven in this country
from European unrest. treasury
purchases of gold added to the al
ready top-heavy mass OF idle 1unds
in the banks which, as excess re-
serves, are the basis for credlt
expansion.
Fearing a runaway credit BOOM
the government decided to shac'
kle all over $100,000,O0O OF the
metal it purchased each quarter
The treasury, however, had to Dor,
row money to pay for the gold
which thereafter remained idle
Critics condemned the policy as
deflationary and demanded, when
the slump set in, that this money
be put to work. The effect OF tn ae
treasury's move last night is to
men the credit arteries to all gold
purchased by the government; OF
to that part of the metal whien
Morgenthau feels the SITUATION
calls for.

lIFE'S LIKE THAT
HITLER AS DICTATOR.

Adolf Hitler did not learn his
lesson by being kept in prison for
eight months. Quite the opposite!
In prison he brooded more and
more, and started writing book
called "Mein Kampf' The English
meaning of the title is MY Fight
or MY Battle"
"Mein Kampf' is Hitler's story of
why he believes as he does. The
volume became kind of campaign
textbook and today it may be
called "Germanv's Bible"
Reading Hitler's words, or listen
Ing to one of his speeches, we
can see the fire which drives him
on. He has the idea that Fate chose
him to unite the German people
and to lead them to place of power
and yet more power.
From the first, Hitler tried to do
two things-to make the public
more angry about the Treaty of
Versailles, and to spur them to
hatred Of the Jews. With this two
edged sword, he fought the enemy.
Hitler built up an army of sort.
The members came to be called
Brown Shirts" or Storm Troop
ers." From time to time, the Storm
Troopers took part in fist fights.
and also in the street with bullets

nists.

fore he took power over his country
An old and feeble man, President
Won Hindenburg did not like Hitler
personally, but at last gave in to
him, and let him take charge of
public affairs. Hitler soon became
far more powerful than Hindenburg.
BY the first day of July, 1888
only five months after he took office
Hitler was the dictator of Ger
many. He had destroyed all political
parties except his own. He had
broken up labor unions. He had
made laws against the Jews, and
had allowed his Storm Troopers to
be cruel in many ways toward Jew
ish citizens. Later he opened a
drive against Catholics and Luth-
Grams.
Dictators seem to need new rea-
sons to make the people excited.
Hitler built up the regular German
Army somewhat before he made a
bold move to break the Treaty of
Versailles. Tomorrow we shall speak
of the success he met.
