tary Morgenthau denied today the
Treasurys $2,OOO,OOO,OOO sterilization
fund had been used to help France or
any foreign country buy military sup
plies or other merchandise in this
country.
Asked whether . the sterilization
fund might have been involved in the
first plane deal, the secretary said:
The sterilization fund has not been
used, directly or indirectly, or in way
whatsoever to help any country to
make any purchase of merchandise"
The sterilization fund, created out
of the profit on dollar devaluation in
1884, conducts foreign exchange mar
ket operations in an effort to stabilize
the dollar in reference to foreign
currencies. Morgenthau said secrecy
was necessary to the funds opera
lions, adding that it's usefulness would
be lessened by the full publicity adj
vocated by Senator Lodge, Republi-
can, Massachusetts and others.
He declined to comment directly on
a proposal of Lodge for an indepen-
dent audit of the fund, but said such
a resolution would reflect on the in
tegrity of three Treasury employees
who audit the funds accounts everv
year. Without Identifying the trio.
Morgenthau said each had worked for
the Treasury from 81 to 20 years.

New Bill On

Nv HENRY AVERILL
BY Ii

Raleigh, Feb 2.-Minus any ideal
istic preamble about low wages and
swcatshops and making notable ex-
ceptions in favor of mercantile and
service" employments, a North Caro-
lima wage-hour bill bearing the bless
ings of the State Labor Department
was introduced in the House today by
Representative George Uzzell, of Sails
bury
Principal difference between it and
the federation of labor measure in
PRODUCED some time ago lies in the
exception mentioned. The Uzzell meas
urc provides, in principle at least, for
q flat 4S-hour week and 25-cent per
hour wage minimum for mercantile
and service employments, while the
federation bill puts all classes in
strict uniformity with the federal
waee-hour measure.
There are also in the new measure
provisions for exemptions and a per-
manent labor advisory board not in
cluded in the federation act.
The measure went to the labor COM
mittee of the House, of which Repre-
sentative j. B. Vogler, of Mecklenburg
is chairman. It's chances for a favor
able report without change are con-
sidered none too bright, but there is
general agreement that in substance
it will be the State wage-hour bill
most likely to run the gauntlet of OPP
position from employer sources.
It's sponsor, Mr.. Uzzell, was one of
the co-authors of the States existing
maximum hour bill, passed two years
ago, but which will be specifically re-
pealed by his present bill, if adopted.
General provisions of the act pro-
vide for minimum wages of 25 cents
an hour for one year after effective
date of the law, 80 cents per hour for
the next six years and 40 cents an
hour thereafter. On the hour side it
calls for maximum work week of
Al hours for one year, AZ hours for the
second year and 40 hours thereafter.

All Public Works
In One Department
Aim Of Byrne Bill
New Department Would In
clude All Job and Relief
Activities

Washington, d. c. 0LNS).-Sen-
ator Byrnes of South Carolina has in
troduced bill for a new cabinet De-
partment of Public Works. In this
would be merged the PWA, the WPA,
the Bureau of Public Roads, the Pub
lie Buildings Branch of the Treasury,
the Civilian Conservation Corps, and
the National Youth Administration A
part of it also would be an amendment
to the present Social Security Act.
The Byrnes bill, as it stands, provides:
Federal contribution to local public
works, on the basis of not more than
2/3 of the money being put up by the
national government, not less than
1/3 by the local or state government.
Federal contributions shall be as
signed to the states each year in two
ways; half on the basis of the popula-
tion of that state as compared to the
population Of the United States; and
half on the ratio which that states
unemployed bear to the total unem-
ployed in the nation. The measure
provides for a continuous census of
unemployment.
TO Increase Old Age Grants
1t would broaden the Federal gov
ernment's share in old age assistance,
so that the total amount shall not be
less than SIS month. If the per
capita income Of that state is less than
the average of the United States, the
state will reduce it's contribution in
proportion, and the Federal govern
ment will make up the minimum OF
SIS.
The bill would have the Fedora
government pay half the care of de
pendent children, instead of the pres
ent third. Minimum payment for one
dependent child would be raised tt
$40, and for more than one child, SIC
month. These last two items are
substantially similar to the recon-
mendatons of the Social Security
Board.
Bill Broad in Scope
The bill requires the states to fi>
unemployment compensation of ST
per week for anyone earning less thar
SIS week, and so on up to SIS :
week for any individual earning above
$50 a week. Waiting time for unem
ployment benefits is cut to one weel
from the time of discharge. The Fed
eral Employment Service is trans
ferred from the Labor Department t
the Social Security Board.
1t will be seen that this is prett,
nearly an omnibus bill, dealing will
road building, public works Of al
kinds, old age and dependent child
ren's aid, unemployment payment
and aid in getting jobs. 1t is highl!
improbable that it will get through
is very likely that Public Works De
Congress without some changes; but i
partment will be created, with NOR
or less of these functions placed unde
it.

Committee members, jaded and
tired from weeks Of listening to argu-

GRAFTON, perked up considerably when
the beauty lobby" appeared to make
itself seen and heard favorably on the

Feminine defenders of cosmetology

spokesladies for the operating and
managing sisterhood for the Commit
tees favorable recognition of their
arguments.
Statements made were received with
applause and cheers or laughter and
outspoken denials according to the re-
action of the demonstrative pros and
cons in the audience.
Finally a substitute bill which met
objections raised by organized male
BARRIERS who are iealously guarding
their ancient right to cut and trim
the hair of the human race was &C
cepted by the Committee for further
| study.
Briefly, the bill proposes to bring
free beauty parlor services under the
jurisdiction of the Board Of Cos
metology, prohibit the practice Of cos
metology on Sunday, and to raise re-
quirements for the practice of cos
metology.

RefuiI Merchants
Spokesman SIops
Right To Picket
Argues Against Proposition
To Regulate Issuance
Of 1njunctions

Columbus, o. (OLNS).-The right
of labor to peacefully picket was chal
lenged by J. C. Lucas, representative
of the Ohio Council of Retail Mer-
chants, in his argument against House
Bill No. Is, proposing to regulate the
issuance of injunctions in labor dis
putes, before the House Judiciary
Committee last week.
"a picket line at factory on the
outskirts of a city might not mean
very much," Lucas told the Committee,
"but pickets before department store
have decided effect on business. We
feel that we should have full pro-
lection against such practices"
Lucas was assured by Representa-
tive Lody Huml, Cleveland, author of
the bill, that the measure does not
prevent the court from issuing an in
junction, but merely outlines the pro-
cedure to be followed in the issuance
of injunctions during labor disputes.
J. o. Manley, representing the In
dustrial Association of Cincinnati, OBJ
jected to the bill as being specialized"
legislation, but when asked if he
would object to regulating the issu-
ance of injunctions in all cases, he ad-
mitted that he was opposed to any
limitation Of injunction procedure.
Attorney Webb Vorys, representing
the Manufacturers Association, op-
posed the bill as another attempt to
| regulate industry" r. L. McCann,
representing Dayton law firm, stated
that the bill differed widely from the
Federal Norris Guardia act, but
was unable to present the Committee
with any facts after comparing the
bill with the Federal law.
Rebuttal arguments to opposition
statements were scheduled for this
week when the Committee resumed
consideration of the proposed law.
