ing a monthly.t wage; bonus to

President Coolidge. j. .. . . .
' To Carry Out Plan
Mr." O'Connor said he would
urge' it upon congress as the major
part of a program for building up
the merchant marine. ; The state
ment said " It was - mauttwlth- the
knowledge of President:; Coolidge
but it wa3 not indicated whether
the views represented those of the
chief executive. At the same time,
it . ws said,- other, shipping board
members had not passed upon the
proposal. . ' , i .
"I favor legislation," Mr. O'Con
nor saldr "which will provide-for
the establishment or a merchant
marine: reserve whereby t the gov
ernment will pay to American sea
men enlifeted in the reserve, and
who serve on American vessels, a
monthly retainer. v -
To Equalize Wages
"This retainer, besides insuring
Americans on American vessels,
will act as an aid! to American
ship owners "by absorbing the wage
differential between American, and
foreign wages, and .this will tend
to - promote tbe: transfer of the
government vessels to private
American hands for i operating." 1
Mr. O'Connor made known his
purpose Just as soon as the ship

largest single sale of ships it has

Gold Standard Change
Held Unwise; : Attack
Begins on New Budget
, , LOlXJN, AprU .29 (By The
Associated) The spokesmen. Of
the liberal and labor parties
launched an attack upon Winston
Churchill's budget when the house
ur commons reassembled today.
Philip Snowden, who held the office,-
of Chancellor, of - the . exche
quer. In the labor government and
turned the public purse Etrlngs
over to Mr. Churchill when . the
conservatives, returned . to power,
dcaed that it waa "the worst
richman's budget ever introduc
ed." Sir Alfred Mond. who has held
numerous offices in . previous gov
ernments, doubted .the wisdom ' of
the country', return to 1 the gold
standard, saying it. wftuld tie the
British monetary system to that
of America "and make the London
bank rate more subervient to Wall
street in the past in order to 'ob
tain? a purely sentimental result."
He pointed but that although
this country's two greatest anil
gravest problems were industrial
depression and unemployment on
a scale almost unprecedented the
chancellor of the exchequer had
given no ' indication of how pro
posed to deal with them, 'Not one
penny had been allocated from the!

Tuesday, were .arraigned Jh Justice

whose place: the still was discov

The other three men, John An

Both stills' used in the plant
were brought to the sheriff's of
fice yesterday - and created much
attention. The main boiler stands
over sevenufeet Jiigh. and ia'about
four feet in diameter. ;The secon
dary stiU is smaller, with a capac
ity of about ,4.5 gallons.
The plant ..was : raided by , .Boy
Bremmer,; deputy from. Sheriff
Bower's department, together with
one federal and; two state men.
They declare ' that without doubt
this is the largest liquor making
organization yet uncovered in the
state. If not on the coaftt. At least
125 gallons of.:. moonshine . were
turned but of the plant each day,
and, it ia said that hree shifts
were kept busy. :. . , ,
: .The fact that vats were pro
vided for fermentation; shows .that
only the. capacity., on. tne .sun
placed any restriction on ' the
amount of liquor that could be
turned Out.
The case will be handled In the
Justice court here, despite the
rumor that it would be prosecuted
in the state courts.
