The executive also disclosed for

The Bank of Mexico, central
government bank, and the republics

q loose consortium at that time to
stabilize the currency around 6 pesos
to 81.
Shortly after the Bank of Mexico
suspended dealings in the dollar
because Of pressure on the peso
stemming from reports Of unsatis-
factory economic conditions in the
petroleum industry and probable
cessation Of United States silver buy
ing, the stability of the financial
structure was threatened.

Within two weeks, he said, 35,OOO,-

He declared 1t was significant that
defX1ite reports from Washington
indicating the foreign silver pur-
chase policy was threatened with
extinction had failed to shake the
peso.
Asserting that Mexico's internal
economy would not be vitally af-
fected by the silver suspension, he
declared it was more important that
public confidence apparently was
behind the peso and that machinery
had been created to handle any
probable strain that might develop
should public fears Of the pesos

Two Questions Arise.
Two questions are presented
under this branch of the case: First,
whether the object of the conspiracy
is a legitimate one and, second,
whether, if the object is legitimate,
the conspiracy alleged embraces the
carrying out or attainment of that
object In lawful manner. '''
1T must be borne in mind that the
object of the conspiracy is not to
obtain higher wages, or shorter hours
or better conditions of labor, nor is
It in furtherance of 'unionization' as
that term is generally understood.

The object is to replace members OF
the Operating Engineers Local No
II with members of the Drivers Local
No. 639' in the driving and operation
of the mixer concrete trucks OF
the three companies involved. And
in considering the legitimacy Of the
object in the instant case, this re-
placement must be viewed in the
light of the fact that these three
companies had binding contracts
with the Operating Engineers Union
to employ IS per cent of the drivers
and operators of these mixer trucks
from members of that union, and
that they actually were employing
that percentage of the drivers and
operators from the membership of
that union.
1T is my opinion that the object
was not legitimate for the reason
that the replacement which de-
PENDANTS were attempting to COM
pei would not necessarily force these
companies to breach their contracts
with the Operating Engineers
Union.
Held Contrary to Labor Act.
Il think that the object of the
conspiracy was further illegitimate
in that it was contrary to the spirit
and policy of the National Labor
Relations Act. = According to
the indictment in this case, prior to
the alleged conspiracy, these three
mixer companies had entered into
contracts with the Operating Engi-
neers' Union to employ Is per cent
Of the operators and drivers of these
mixer trucks apparently the per-
son employed on one of these trucks
both drives and operates it, from
the membership of that union, and
they actually did employ that per-
centage from that union. The in
dictment clearly shows on its face
that the employees of these three
companies who were working on
these trucks and who were members
OF the Operating Engineers Union
constituted a majority of such en-
ployes and would be entitled to Sc
lect representatives for the purpose
of collective bargaining.
'The indictment further indicates
that the Operating Engineers Union
is the collective bargaining agency
for the majority and has exercised
its bargaining powers by entering
into contracts with the three mixer
companies involved. It seems OBJ
vious that the purpose and intent
of the conspiracy of defendants
herein was to nullify and break
down the results of collective bar
gaining between the Operating En-
gineers Union and the mixer COM
panies.
%. But assuming, as defendants
counsel contend, that the object OF
the conspiracy in this case was
legitimate and reasonable under the
circumstances, yet Section 6 OF
the Clayton Act protects the de-
PENDANTS only when the means
which they employ to carry out OF
attain that object are lawful"
Row Settled Peaceably.
The row between the two Ameri-
can Federation of Labor aff1liates
revolved around the right to drive
concrete mixers, both teamsters and

dry yourself gently, keep warm,
and 60 promptly to bed.
The reason this new bath
works such magic (as proved in

warm water and Colman's Dry
Mustard in combination have
wonderful draving power. They
materially increase the flow Of

toward the surface Of your skin.
This speeds up the elimination of
the fatigue wastes, relaxes your

that dreamless peace Nature in
