upon a monopoly" Mr.. Wysor re-
minded his hearers that fair collective
bargaining necessarily presumes
equal rights on the part of labor and
on the part of employers.
"The Wagner Labor Relations act
presumably enacted to guarantee fair
collective bargaining, but it is so
weighted in favor of labor that bar
gaining power is entirely over-balan-
ced on labor's side. The employer,
under that act, literally has no rights,
not even the right of free speech.
"From 1925 to 1880 inclusive the
dividend return on capital invested
in all the manufacturing corporations
in this country was 3.4 per cent. In
1910 it was 80 per cent, decline of
6 per cent in the rate of return.
Comparing agriculture for the
same period, farmers received in
1910 prices which were Is per cent
lower than 1925-3O in terms of buy
ing power of non-agricultural COM
modities.
"Thus in 1910 capital got 6 per
cent less and farmers got Is per cent
less. Let's see how labor is faring.
The average hourly wages in manu-
featuring industries were 27.5 pei
cent higher. Although working time
had been shortened II per cent, the
average weekly earnings were 5.s
per cent higher, while the real week
ly earnings, adjusted for the decline
in the cost of living, were 1922 per
cent higher.

be raised, and that the treasury be
allowed to issue any type of tax
able security.
The recommendation were made
in a special report to congress-the
first in the history of the reserve
board. 1t was bound to stir up
major controversy over the New
Deals fiscal policies, for which the
administration only year ago made
a concerted fight in congress.
The report also marked the first
major break between President
Roosevelt and Board Chairman Mar
riner S. Eccles. who early in the
New Deal was one of the presidents
closest advisers on fiscal policies.
Secretary of the Treasury Henry
Morgenthau, jr., and Lauchlin Cur
rie, one of the presidents assistants
who formerly was an economic ad-
wiser for the reserve board, were
expected to oppose most OF the
boards suggestions and carry their
fight to congress. Both of them con-
ferred yesterday with EccleS.
The report, signed by the board
of governors, the presidents of the
IL Federal Reserve banks and the
members of the federal advisory
council representing the IL reserve
districts, emphasized that the ma
ton is in no danger of immediate
initiation, but foresaw that possibility
unless time banking policies
are changed to cope with the indus
trial needs of a wartime world.

Retail Milk Price
Boosted in Eight
California Areas

SACRAMENTO, Jan. l. tUP)-
Retail milk prices in eight Cail1or-
njo counties were increased up TO
one cent per quart today under the
California milk control law, the
State Bureau of Markets, Depart
ment of agriculture, announced.
San Francisco and Alameda coun-
ty prices raises were the latest TO
be announced. In all instances, the
increase was made to give milk pro-
ducers more revenue to compen-
safe for raised costs of hay and
other dairy feeds, and because OF
recent price advances for butter
and manufacturing milk, due IN
part to heavy demand from foreign
countries and the federal govern
ment, it was said.
Automatic reductions for produc-
ers and consumers are provided in
the law if there is any material re-
duction in the price of feed and
manufacturing milk.
San Francisco and Alameda coun-
ty milk producers will receive an
additional 10 cents per pound milk
fat. The price of home delivered
milk will increase from II to l3
cents and retail store prices from
IL to IL cents.
Other county changes announced
recently included:
Fresno county, retail up one cent,
producers up 10 cents, Jan. l.
San Joaquin and Sonoma counties,
retail up one-half cent, producers up
five cents, Jan. l; similar increase
made Dec. /.

Long Vigil Ends for Chinese Ship
Tied Up in San Francisco Harbor
In Dispute Between 0rientaIs

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. /. CUP)
The long vigil of the Chinese
schooner Kwang Yuan, which ga
thered rust and barnacles in San
Francisco Bay fer more than three
years rather than carry her 2.l00-
ton cargo of scrap iron to Japanese
munitions factories, was at an end
today after her sale to an Austral-
ian.
Sir Walter Carpenter, Sydney
shipping magnate, bought the rusty
old schooner for trade between
Pacific coast ports and the south
seas. The scrap iron may be trans
ferred to a local smelter. and the
Kwang Yuan will be placed under
Panananian registry.
The tale of the Kwang Yuan
starts in 1887. when the three
masted schooner Edna Christen-
son, a 2,000-ton vessel built in 1912.
was chartered by a japanese firm.
She loaded $4,000 worth of scrap
iron consigned to Japan and sign
ed a crew of 90 Chinese under
command of three Japanese Off
GERS.
But the Chinese consul in San
Francisco refused to clear the ship,
from port. which tied her up in U.
s. customs barriers.
For seven months the 23 Chinese
and three japanese waited aboard
the ship, while their countries
warred Finally the crew rioted.
The japanese sought mutiny war
rants, but San Francisco courts
disclaimed jurisdiction.
The Yokohama Srecia bank,
which had prepaid the freight
charges. started a court battle tc
release the ship. The case was
fought through the U. S. supreme
court, which ruled that the Chin
2se government was entitled to ex-
Jropriate the ship, which became
Chinese SOIL and the japanese had
no right to board the ship to get
the cargo.
