MELLON INTENDS TO STICK
New York, Oct. 7. An embargo on
shipments of all perishable produce
to New York was laid down tonight,
effective at midnight, by the New
Ycrk Central, Pennsylvania, Central
of New Jersey, Lehigh Valley, the
Deleware. Lackawanna & Western,
and Erie railroads. The action was
taken because of the congestion in
freight terminals resulting from the
strike of two thousand market truck
drivers.
The action was taken by the rail
roads despite an earlier announce
ment by Miss Frances Perkins, state
labor commissioner, who said Ward
W. Smith, secretary of the Fruit and
Produce Trade association, informed
her anagreement probably would be
reached tonight to end the strike.
Miss Perkins transmitted Smith'6
announcement to Acting Governor
Herbert H. Lehman, who then au
thorized her to cancel arrangements
he had made for a meeting of inter
ested parties at his home tonight in
an effort to settle the labor dispute.
The embargo action was announc
ed first by the Pennsylvania railroad,
followed quickly by the Erie, New
York Central and the three other
lines. Shipping agents in cities thru
ou the country were notified by the
railroad lines to accepa no further
shipments for this city.
It was announced that all cars
containing the class of goods banned
and moving toward New York from
points east of Chicago at the time the
embargo becomes effective, will be re
routed to Boston, Philadelphia or
Chicago. Shipments west of Chicago
intended for New York will be held
on sideings, refrigerated and return
ed tothe shippers.
Perishable produce has been arriv
ing in New York in a steady stream
since the strike became effective Sat
urday. As a result more than three
thousand cars, leaded with perishable
fruits and vegetables valued at six
million dollars have accumulated at
Washington To end the frequent
ly recurring rumor of the resignation
of Secretary Mellon, President Hoo
ver revealed Monday that the treas
ury head has promised to remain at
his post until the close of the pres
ent administration, March 4, 1933.
Such reports have been given wide
circulation at intervals in the last
several years. Since the inauguration
of the Hoover administration they
have become almost weekly occur
rences and have been denied as quick
ly as they bobbed up by both the
treasury and the white house.
Monday the rumor was heard
again. It was denied by Secretary
Mellon himself and was called to
President Hoover's attention. The
white house announcement followed.
In the event that ill health and
advancing years do not intervene,
Mellon will have held office over a
longer period than any of his prede
cessors. He entered the cabinet at the
outset of the Harding administration
and, serving continuously, has held
the place in the cabinets of three
presidents.

JOHN, FLORENCE BACK
AFTER HONEYMOON
Federal Farm
Board Firm on
Crops Control
Say Surplus Plan Would Cause
Increased Production of
Surpluses
Washington Control of farm
acreage Is a requisite to control of
crop surpluses.
This fundamental made plain to
members of the Senate Agricultural
Committee by members of the Fed
eral Farm Board appearing before it
for confirmation, acted as an irritant
to Republican and Democratic mem
bers who supported the McNary-
Haugen bill, and who still want the
Government to intervene to relieve
the farmer by buying up the big
crop surpluses, no matter how large
they may be.
Every member of the Farm Board
so far examined by the Senate com
mittee has either directly or indi
rectly advocated control over pro
duction and limitation of acreage as
the method of reducing the surplus
and aiding the farmer. In this they
have individually come in opposition
with members of the Senate com
mlttee.
Nevertheless, the Farm Board ap
pointees of Mr. Hoover have insisted
that if the United States stood ready
to buy up and hold indefinitely all
crop surpluses, no matter what their
size, the farmers would produce con
stantly larger crops, regardless of
world consumption.
This has been the thread running
through the entire series of hearings,
beginning with testimony of Alex
ander Legge. the chairman, down to
Samuel R. McKelvie, former Gover
nor of Nebraska, who represents
wheat on the board.
Members of the board have ex
pressed various degrees of hope over
the possibility of extending help to
the farmer. Mr. McKelvie believes
that the proposed grain growers ex
change to back the co-operatives of
the United States will be able to
duplicate what should be done in
Canada within a few years. In fact,
he believes that the next year's
wheat crop may be controlled by this
agency.
Carl Williams, the cotton expert on
the board, is less hopeful of success
in controlling his commodity, because
of backward conditions in the South,
tenant farming and the ignorance
which makes co-ordinated, large-scale
effort difficult. Relief will not come
for five years, in any event under
his forecasts. A farmer-engineered
decrease in cotton acreage is one of
the plans which he fosters.
The hearings have contrasted the
fundamental differences of the two
viewpoints. The first still calls for
government purchase of crop sur
plus. The other would lend federal
funds to co-operatives, in the effort
to get the farmers to cut down sur
pluses by co-ordinated action. On the
support given by farmers themselves,
the success of the second plan is
believed to depend.
In three months the Farm Board
has been asked for J70.000.000 of the
$500,000,000 made available by Con
gress, witn every prospect mat re
quests for- funds will far outdistance
the money in hand. This was dis
closed in evidence submitted to the
committee by Mr. Legge.
Additional testimony by Mr. R. Mc
Kelvie coincided with news of the
President's transfer of the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics from the
Department of Agriculture to the
Federal Farm Board.
Governor McKelvie's testimony
carried previous opinions of the
board's membership expressed as to
the cotton and corn crops, into the
realm of wheat. The board, it was
stated, is following the policy of
bringing farmers into a gigantic co
operative by which it is hoped the
price of wheat will be stablized
within reasonable limits of supply
and demand.

San Francisco Describing the
Nation's credit situation as sound but
presenting many new problems and
calling upon the Federal Reserve
Board to conduct a technical investi
gation into the growth of brokers
loans, the American Bankers Associ
ation completed the work of its fifty
fifth annual convention here.
The convention, by unanimous re
solution, took a firm stand against
any change in the present method of
taxing national banks, saying chang
es proposed by Congress would weak

Following: the Presidents an
nouncement on fire losses in gen
eral. Secretary Hvde called attention
to farm fire losses in the following
statement:
"The farmer has as much reason
as the city dweller as any other own
er of property to interest himself in
these special annual campaigns
against fire.
"The loss on farms and in rural
communities due to fires has been es
timated to have been as high as 3,
500 lives and $150,000,000 worth of
property in a single year. The rural
population of our Nation should give
serious and constructive thought ef
forts to eliminate needless fire losses.
"Lighting. defective chimneys
and flues, sparks on combustible
roofs, matches, smoking, spontoneous
ignition and agricultural products,
careless use and storage of gasoline
and kerosene faulty wiring and im
proper use of electric applianceances,
contnue to be the principal known
causes of fires on farms.
"The individual has it in his pow
er to combat these hazards and I
urge that he do his utmost to safe
guard his family and property
against the fire menace. Periodic
clean-up and inspection of premises
will remove any serious fire hazards.
"The U. S. Department of Agricul
ture has a special committee on farm
fire protection, which is actively co
operating with interested national
organizations in an effort to reduce
thelosses from fires on farms and
in rural communities.
"Rural volunteer fire departments,
equipped with modern motorized ap
paratus, are receiving merited and
widespread attention, and represent
investments which pay dividends in
fire protection, especially where good
roads have been provided.

trol movement calls for concerted

with the Federal Farm Board, may
be operating within a week, Wil-
iam H. Settle of Indianapolis, chair
man of the committee authorized to
effect the corporation's set-up, indicated.
Mr. Settle's statement was made as
he and a special sub-committee went
nto session with Alexander Legge,
chairman, and other members of th3
board. The purpose of the meeting
was to iron out differences of opin
ion the Farm Board and co-opera
tives might hold on the corporation's
bylaws.
No major changes in the set-up, al
ready outlined by the sub-committee,
were anticipated. The sub-committee
was authorized to make minor
changes and was expected to com
plete its work- soon.
In the event the Farm Board de
mands no major changes, the special
committee of 16 co-operatives will be
reconvened immediately as a board
of directors and the new farm or
ganization will be incorporated
under the laws of Deleware, he said.
Mr. Settle said he expected the cor
poration to be functioning within 30
days, providing the members of the
Farm Board agreed at the present
conference on the major policies.

that credit in the United States is

buying had tended to bring about a
fundamental change.
