In Auto License Fees
Nv tt,e Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, March 81
State Senator Vivian L. Page of
Norfolk. A candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor. said
he favors a substantial reduction OF
automobile license fees and would
oppose any diversion of gasoline tax
or license revenues from highway
Use.
The State of Virginia" he said,
"iS now charging a much higher
license tax than the average in 81
States in the Union and the District
of Columbia, and is approximately
the same as in eight States. There
are 10 States which have higher
license fees, but in seven of these
they have a much lower gasoline tax
than Virginia. In six out of the eight
which have approximately the same
license fees as Virginia. they have
a much lower gasoline tax, and in
many of the other States there is no
personal property tax, either State

Appeals Court Rules
Bakery Unions Clear
OF 0fAnti-TrustLaW
District Tribunal Held
Clearly Right ia Denying
Firm S3W, 900 Damages

The United States Court of Ap-
peals today affirmed District Court
finding rejecting claim of Gunder-
sheimers. Inc, a bakery at Sic Sec
ond street NV, for $500, 900 damages
against labor unions of bakers,
drivers and statesmen, their officers
and certain members. The suit al
legged there was a conspiracy in
restraint of trade by the defendants,
violating the Sherman Antitrust
Act.
The bakery contended damages
were caused by a strike at its plant,
in which four union afflliates of the
American Federation of Labor and
1877 individuals allegedly joined in
demand that the company cease
bringing goods from Philadelphia for
resale here.
|. Justice Jesse C. Adkins in District
Court had directed a verdict in
favor Of the unions and their mem
bers after the company's counsel
made its opening statement. The
attorneys declared that the unions
said to the company in effect: You
can't buy cakes in Philadelphia and
you cannot make cakes in your own
plant unless you will agree not to
buy any cakes out of town
the reason being wage scales
in Philadelphia are lower than scales
paid here"
Today the appellate tribunal said
the District Court action was
clearly right" 1t pointed out that
restraints on competition or on the
course of trade in the merchandising
of articles moving in interstate
commerce do not violate the Sher-
man Act, unless the restraint is
shown to have, or is intended to
have, an effect upon prices in the
market or otherwise to deprive pur-
chasers or consumers of the ad-
vantages which they derive from
free competition"
The court said the case in point
was not shown to have had any such
effect.

OF Word 'Dupes' for
Opponents Of War

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt's Jackson day
address was alternately praised to-
day as a magnificent plea for
national unity and deplored as a
new step toward war.
White House supporters were
laudatory in their comments, while
Senate opponents of the admins
tration's foreign policy character
lied the speech as bellicose.
Mr.. Roosevelt, broadcasting from
the presidential yacht Potomac at
Port Everglades. Fla. told jackson
day dinners throughout the country
Saturday night that the times call
'for courage and more COURAGE
action and more action"
Citing Wendell L. WILKES sup
port of the country's foreign policy
as an example of patriotism, Mr..
Roosevelt declared that "the enc
mics of democracy are now trying
to destroy our national unity"
Use of Word 'DupeS' ASSailed.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, OF
Montana. leading opponent of the
British-aid program. said he was
amazed" that the President used
the word "dupes" for those who
oppose going into the war"
Persons who oppose foreign in
volvement, Senator Wheeler told re-
porters, would expect to be called
dupes by small minded people who
are unable to answer your argu-
mentS.
But they would hardly expect the
President of the United States to
characterize all who want to keep
this country out of war as Nazis,
propagandists or dupes."
Senator Wheeler declared that the
"dupes" in America were those who
are being deceived by propaganda
as we were in the last war"

a plea "for national unity and non
partisan attitude"
The President" Senator George
declared, was asking for support of
a national policy above all party
consideration. His speech was a
counter-action against those who
preach fear and peace in a way
that would weaken our national ef-
forts"
Senator Brooks, Republican, OF IL
linois asserted that the Chief Execu-
tive had praised every one who
agreed with him and charged those
who want to prevent our involve
ment in the European war with being
innocent dupes of foreign powers. y
"It is another step toward war, y
Senator Brooks declared. 1T is an
other speech to prepare our people
for involvement in Europe's con-
flict."

u. S. May GiUe
Aid to Western
Metals Mines

SAN FRANCISCO-Co Complaint that
western states have been deprived of
mineral development by monopolistic
practices Of eastern trusts was heard
by the senate subcommittee which is
seeking to increase production and de-
velopment of west coast ore deposits.
A program was announced at the
conclusion of the conference to estab-
lish high and stable metal prices to
permit miners to plan and develop
holdings; standardize ore grades; de-
velop access roads; adjust freight rates
favorable to producers and equal to
ocean rates to stimulate local mining
and liberalize taxes to permit miners
to, expand.
A. H. Wild, president of the United
States Chrome Mines, Inc, said there
are sufficient deposits of chrome ore
in California, oregon and Washington
to supply the nations need for 81
years. Western deposits of chrome
have not been developed because of
monopolistic practices of one or DOS
sibly two large eastern corporations
Wild charged.
Chrome ranks second or third on the
list Of strategic and critical metals
required for national defense.

are available in this area.
George Watkin Evans. Seattle min

the committee he believed a $4,000, 900

gion to produce steel for the entire
western United States would be JUS
tifiable expenditure by the government
Evans said eastern steel men used
the west coast for a dumping ground
for about 2OO,O00,OO0 tons of steel and
il I we're in the steel business in the
east 7 doubt if I would propose a plant
here which would compete with my
plant in the east That just wouldn't
be smart business"

Nine Financing

Just One Issue

During the month of July not one
extractive industry, mining or oil, reg
iStered the sale of securities with the
Securities & Exchange Commission at
Washington. D. G. Only II statements
of all kinds were filed and there were
but q issues, 856 percent of which
were for transportation and commu-
nication financing. There were two
oil and gas we'll issues in the period
January l to June 80, and one metal
mining statement filed, meaning that
extractive industry financing has
dropped to nil Metal mine financing
attempted during the first seven
months of the year 1941 totaled $57O,-
$50 which not only means that the
public is being deprived of the oppor-
tunity Of opening up new Homestake
or new Sunshine mines but that de-
velopment of metal mines is definitely
in slump.
