You'd Pay the Bill!

Summing up these demands, they mean that
these union leaders seek to force the railroads
to give one million employees an annual raise
which would average $500 per en1ploye!
The total cost of this would be no less than
IL billion dollars per year, which is more
than twice the expected net income OF the
railroads this year.
You'd pay the bill, because if these in

Beach Gold Rush
Pressed as More
Coins Turn Up
~ ,he A,,ee;o,ed prs,.

HIGHLANDS. N. J., April l0.-A
seashore gold rush was under way
today, as hundreds Of people con-
verged here In a hunt for buried
treasure.
The reported discovery today of
six more 18th century gold coins on
the banks of the Shrewsbury River,
near the Atlantic Ocean. gave
impetus to the search.
About 400 men, women and chill
dren streamed over the beaches.
Armed with rakes, screens, shovels,
pals and assorted digging imple-
ments, many sifted the sands In
this legendary pirates port Of call.
A Newark coin dealer, Fred w.
Burnett, said from descriptions OF
the coins found he believed them
to be old Portuguese doubloons,
possibly pirates treasure. He esti-
mated that. in good condition, the
coins probably are worth about SIS
each.
Fifteen of the coins have been
discovered since William Cottrell,
rs, first picked one up Wednesday
while strolling on the beach.
The oldest is dated 1735.

| Hartley Urges Breakdown
ION 'MonopoIisiic Labor
BY the A,soeiotad Press

Chairman Hartley of the House
Labor Committee urged Congress
yesterday to crack down on what
he called .'monopolistic labor prac-
tees in such affairs as the soft
coal strike.
Mr.. Hartley wrote letter to
members of Congress, declaring:
The performance of John L.
Lewis in recent weeks should clearly
prove that labor unions do not
deserve exemptions from the anti
trust laws where a labor monopoly
is so injurious to the public interest.
For years, all forms of business
monopoly have been prohibited by
law and properly so. The country
is now faced with monopolistic
union that surpasses any form of
business monopoly ever known.
How long viii the American
people tolerate situation which
acts done by one group but
permits the same or worse when
committed by a dictatorial labor
czar?"

got off on the wrong foot when he
arrived early at Phoebe Hearst
Playground for the Recreation De-
partment's contest and accidentally
encountered his four year old
daughter, Tatty, who had strolled
over from their home nearby.
The first thing Mr.. Noyes knew
he had said something which sound
ed to Tatty as If her father be-
lieved that making and flying kites
was child's play-there was nothing
to it. Tatty jeered, as did some of
the other small fry hanging around
waiting for the show.
He had never made a kite before,
but this was it, and time was rum
ming out. He found newspaper
in his car, and called on the con-
tests first-aid station for two sticks,
string and plenty of gummed tape.
His audience was more critical than
helpful, although in the. nick of
time one toddler came through with
remark that If he rigged his kite
that way 1t would fly upside down,
If at all
He used his only handkerchief
for the tail, but it didn't carry
enough weight. The project hung
in the balance while the photogra-
pher searched his pockets. 1t
turned out to be the reporters
lucky day. He got the kite into the
oir O flor a fou hricL cpr;ptc ooroeS
the field, and kept it bucking for
five minutes, he reported later, on
at least rs feet of string.
Due to a basic instability, how
ever, the makeshift took a nose
dive just as the real contestants
began to enter the field.
The kite wound up in bundle of
broken sticks and yesterdays comics,
but Mr.. Noyes won a few cheers
among the jeers.
Hundreds of children came to
yesterdays contest eager to take
advantage of ideal weather condi-
tions after they had been disap-
pointed several times by rain A
steady breeze bore their entries high
into clear sky.
The contest was one of 10 held at
the city's largest Fairgrounds, with
scores of certificates going to win
