The court said The laws of this

said. however. that he told his en-

with the union, and if he accepted
it. he probably would be in a posi-
ton to make it tough" for Thomp-

employer ne would not take the
job as he would rather work for
him.
District Attorney Elmer Heald in

do with the union and objected to
the introduction of union dealings
into the hearing. Judge Simpson
sustained his objection and declared
he had no jurisdiction in Thomp-
sons disputes with the union but
had to consider the difficulties be-
tween Thompson and Burch.
Burch denied that he ever in
tended to harm his employer and
explained his statement regarding

ask them to get off the trucks and
not to pull them off physically.

The record seems to disclose that
the treasury has ceased its efforts
to secure silver as backing for our
currency to the fun extent of 25
per cent OF our total metallic COW
erage as authorized by law.
We have been purchasing about
5000, 600 ounces Of silver per month
from Mexico. necessitating a pay
ment of $500 600 which is a con-
siderable item in Mexico'S inter-
nal economy.
Recently. Mexico has seen fit to
raise and impose tariff restrictions
against United States goods and
further has seen proper to exercise
the right OF eminent domain to
take over foreign-owned oil pro-
perties.
The connection. if any. between
our announced policy of ceaSing
to buy Mexieo's surplus silver and
Mexicos policy of raising tariffs
and con1iscating our oil properties
is still unknown TO the public.
Under the silver program. we
have acquired a vast amount of
the metal but We have never Sc
cured the required 25 per cent as
authorized by law. On March %.
We had sl2,780. 100000 worth of

we should have had S4.26o. .O0O. 900

have only 81 490 100000 p/3ed in
