The local policemen and union officials elbowed their way through the crowd to restrain the combat ants, and a few minutes later the state troopers swept into town, driv- ing the crowd away from the picket lines and clearing the streets.
 The 280 workers of a night shift, due to leave the plant at 10 p. m., were held inside the building for over an hour while the troopers dis persed the crowd. Then, the 280 were escorted through the picket lines and the late-night shift workers were escorted into the mill.
 As result of last nights outbreak state troopers were mobilized throughout Massachusetts. They were to be held in readiness at thei, varoius barracks for any possible emergency.

 IN STATE PRISON
(Continued from Page D

Dr. Smith was put back into the East Baton Rouge parish prison, where he had been first confined on his return to Louisiana after a fugitive flight to Canada. He was not to be taken to the hospital un- less Mrs. Wares death seemed i'm. minent or unless her condition im- proved. It was feared that the shock of seeing her father in her present condition might kill her.
 Dr. Smith had never seen his only grandson, born the day he was transferred from jail here to the federal prison.
 Mrs. Wares husband, a young at- torney and college sweetheart whom she married soon after her debut, and her mother also are un- der indictment along with several high state politicians and thir as- sociats involvd in the university scandal. Ware and Mrs. Smith were charged with having abetted Dr Smiths flight to Canada. All the Smith property also has been seized on court order.
 The grand jury here returned more indictments against Dr. Smith and four others before taking a two-weeks' recess yesterday. Smith and Leon Weiss, a New Orleans ar- chitect, were charged with a $5,75C embezzlement. Dr. Clarence A Lorio, a state senator; George Grif- ion, head of Baton Rouge drugs firm and H. D. Andrews, manager of a drug store near the university campus, were charged with obtain ing money under false pretenses ir two instances, details of which were withheld because their disclosure would destroy the case"
 The two principal cases develop ing from the scandal involve an al- legged flyer in the wheat market by Dr. Smith with more than $1 ,000, ,00t worth of university bonds and cash and the sale to the university oi the fixtures of a New Orleans hotel that the university already hac bought when 1t bought the building for a nurses home.

BLOCKADE MAY
 BE ABANDONED

Britain was reported to have be- gun consultations with the United States and France on Japans de- mand for recognition of Japanese sponsored currency in Northern China, and for surrender of $4,- 100000 worth of silver held by Chin ese banks in the British concession.
 Although Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain said in the house of commons yesterday that the gov- ernment would consult the domin- ions regarding the possibility of de- nouncing the British-Japanese com- mercial treaty, latest indications were that the government was in- creasingly reluctant to follow the lead of the United States and de- nounce the treaty.
 The reluctance was said to be due to doubt whether the United States would put an embargo on trade with Japan after the trade treaty expires January 26.

Dollar Exchange Lack
Seen Retarding Trade
In Latin America
Experts Urge Increase
In U. S. Purchases to
Remedy Situation
BY the Associated Press.

by tne Associated PreSS.
Lack of dollar exchange in Latin
America is seen by group of busi-
nessmen and foreign trade experts
as the greatest handicap to increased
United States exports there.
The best remedy, they said last
night after discussion at the Com
merce Department, would be for the
United States to buy more from
Latin America in order that it could
obtain more goods from this country.
The group proposed also that the
United States station a financial
representative in every important
commercial center in Latin Amer
ica
President Roosevelt told his press
conference yesterday he favored any
steps which would increase trade
with Latin Amrica. He said he had
told Warren Lee Pierson, president
of the Export-Import Bank, that
he hoped the 1910 Congress would
provide extra capital for the bank.
The President declared the bank
was scraping bottom on it's original
500 900, 900 capital. 1t has granted
credits to Brazil. China. Portugal
and several other countries.
Seek Quick Information.
Stationing of the financial repre-
sentatives in Latin America was
urged by the business group so as
to provide quick information on
dollar exchange difficulties and set
up machinery to facilitate solutions.
These representatives would Coop
crate with regular diplomatic Of
ficials in each country.
1t also was proposed that they
work with committees of American
businessmen appointed by American
chambers of commerce in each
Latin American country or similar
committees appointed by the Ameri-
can Ambassador or Minister in coun-
tries where no such organizations
exist.
The group authorized Undersecre-
tary of Commerce Edward J. No.
BILE to issue the statement saying
the best way to give Latin Amer
lea more dollars to buy more goods
here was for the United States to
buy more from Latin America.
War to Help Imports.
Mr.. Noble said the business group
indicated their belief that during
the war period our exports will au-
tomatically increase, and the prob
lem will arise as to how certain
countries can obtain sufficient dol
lar exchange to pay for our goods"
He added that although Great
Britain's blacklist" against busi-
nessmen in neutral countries be-
lieved to be sympathetic to Ger
many had not been brought off,
cially to the United States at
tention the group opposed any
blockade against trade between the
United States and blacklisted firms.
1T was the opinion of the con-
ferees," Mr.. Noble said, that If
any effort were made by any Euro
pean power to attempt to dictate to
American shipping lines against
their carrying American goods to
blacklisted firms in neutral ports q
strong position may have to be
| taken"

Rise in Steel Output
Sharpest in History
Of Giant Industry
Current Rate Is 871z
Per Cent Of Capacity,
Up "a in 5 Weeks
to other nations.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-The steel
industry has experienced the fastest
advance in its history in the past
five weeks, the magazine Iron Age
said today in the weekly review OF
the industry.
Current output is scheduled at
8712 per cent of capacity, the mag
azine said, or "a points over the rate
of 6312 per cent in effect the last
week of August.
In the period from March through
July, 1888, there was a gain of 253
per cent. But the gain of the past
few weeks is unprecedented within
so short period.
With all of the major steel COM
panies virtually sold out for the
remainder of the year on principal
products, excepting pipe, rails and a
few specialties, efforts are being
concentrated on production and de-
livery problems.
Citing the remote possibility OF
early peace in Europe" as possible
cause for delay in posting first quar-
ter prices. Iron Age said pressure
from steel buyers for an early an
nouncement is also increasing"
"Complicating the situation for
the steel companies is the strong
buying movement among the rail-
roads, which are demanding early
delivery of steel so they can get
started on equipment programs.
Railroad business that has been
placed or is definitely in sight will
take about 10000 tons of steel, a
considerable part of which is being
pressed on the mills for delivery this
year."
Scrap prices have risen again this
week in virtually all markets, the
survey stated The Iron Age scrap
composite price, rising this week
to $22.50 is at its highest level since
April, 1923.

Expense Exceeds Income
$976,060,302 in Quarter
By the Associated Press

by tTe hSSOCldleQ PTeSS.
Government expenditures exceed
ed income by $976,06O, 1902 in the
first quarter of the present fiscal
year.
The Treasury reported yesterday
that it took in $l,446,6l5, ,184, but
spent $2,422,675 ,486 in the period
from July l through September 80.
In the comparable period last
year Treasury receipts amounted
to $1,509, 1872, ,032 and expenditures
$2,2l0,O 0,O28,994, a deficit of $780,
846,961.
Receipts fell behind last year be-
cause OF a decline in income tax
collections, which were based on
1888 income. In September, when
the third quarterly payment on
1888 income taxes was due, collec-
tions amounted to only 1923, All 956,
compared with $497 934,2 in Sep
tember last year, when taxes were
being collected on the relatively
more prosperous year of 1887.
Collections of excise taxes, social
security taxes, customs and other
miscellaneous revenues were run
ming slightly ahead of last year.
Increased Army and Navy ex-
penditures and bookkeeping pay
ment of s119,599, ,918 to the Com
modify Credit Corp. because of the
depreciation last year on the value
Of stored farm products accounted
for the increase in expenditures.
