SURFACE, BARLOW
FACE GRAND JURY
Chase Statesmen SubpOe=
naed for Chicago APP
pearances Monday

Morris E. Surface, department
sales manager of the Chase Brass
and Copper Co. and P. Briggs Bar
low, salesman for the local manu-
featuring company, were subpoenaed
yesterday to appear before a federal
grand jury in Chicago next Monday
at 10 a. m.
Subpoenas were signed by Federal
Judge Charles E. Woodward of the
United States District Court for the
Northern District of Illinois and
merely stated that the men should
appear ito testify in behalf of the
United States generally"
However, it is believed that the
grand jury probe is another in the
widespread series of Investigations
into alleged antitrust activities in
the building trades industry which
have been initiated throughout the
country by Asst. Atty. Gen. Thur
man Arnold. The Barlow subpoena
was addressed to him in care Of the
Lighting Fixtures Division of the
company.
The Chase Brass 81 Copper Com
pany was one of seven Connecticut
plumbing supply firms whose Off
Gals were subpoenaed last October
to appear at a federal grand jury
investigation at Cleveland, o.
The subpoenas were forwarded to
the office of United States Bernard
Fitch at New Haven and served to-
day by Deputy Arthur Trudel.
Chase Co. officials here stated Mr..
Surface and Mr.. Barlow will most
likely be questioned concerning
lighting fixture manufacture and
sales.

Serious Problem
In commenting on this conference
Mr.. Williams said, 1.-THE problems
facing at least a million and a half
young American women who want
work, are looking for work, and can't
find it, are of deep concern to every
citizen. sometimes think that many
of these young women carry even
heavier burdens than unemployed
young men. Added to their need for
work, they often have complex re-
sponsibilities in their own new homes
or in their parents homes in help
ing to stretch meager family incomes
to cover the necessities of food,
shelter and clothing
