WASHINGTON. Mar. 11 The only
bright spots In an otherwise dull ape
clal lobbying season In Washington
have been two or
more mysterious
monetary dinners
' which have been
held at down
town hotels.
Senators and
r p r e sentatlves,
particularly 'in
flationists, have
attended In con
siderable num
bers, as have oth
er distinguished
Washington olll-clals.
AIM. MALLON
l It Is not customary In Washington
for a guest to Inquire who Is paying
for a free dinner. Especially not at
such elegant ones as these, where
good food was accompanied by the
beat wine, cigars, and fairly good after
dinner arguments about why the gov
ernment should do something more,
for silver.
A few Inquisitive guests wero pro
perly rebuked for their social error In
Inquiring about the purport of thcte
affairs.
What they suspected, however. Is
true: namely, that a New York com
modity broker was the guiding genius.
If not the sole financial angel who
promoted this congressional sliver
manna. The last dinner was arrang
ed at the hotel In his own name.
The philanthropic purposes of the
broker will be suggested If you oheck
his name on the Morgenthau list of
silver holders. The list says he held
only 25.000 ounces at the time It was
prepared last year.
If this is nil he had. he is entitled
to, a silver-tipped halo as the moat
disinterested angel who ever flitted
around the capitol dome promoting a
political issue.
His profit from 25.000 ounces would
not be enough to pay for beer and
sandwiches tor the congressional In
flationists. The treasury Is still very secretive
about disclosing the extent of Its
headlong rush toward a silver boom.
No figure are being given out, pos
sibly because the rush has not been
very headlong.
There are ways of proving, however,
that the government has acquired
just about 317.000.000 ounces of sil
very since it announced the sliver
buying program last year. The aver
age price paid was 50 cents an ounce.
This means the cost so far has bem
about 158.000.000. It also means that
Whoever sold the sliver to the gov
ernment made a profit ranging up to
a maximum of 25 cents an ounce.
The amount seized by the govern
ment was approximately 112.000,000
ounces. The amount It has purchased
since then la about 205.000.000 ounces.
These figures may be contested but
you will find they are within 5 per
cent of being exact. They show the
rush has not yet started.
If all the howls of labor against
the NRA were compressed Into one
tote shriek, you would have the world s
loudest noise, not excepting Huey
Long. No group has ever been more
vociferous on any issue.
Vet, the other nipht. labor (thru
spokesman William Green) issued a
statement urging continuance of
NRA.
The secret of this labor paradox Is
simply this:
The industries which want the
NBA are coal, textiles, construction,
canning, oil. and even steel, which
has Its finiters crossed about section
7-A. The are generally the highly
competitive industries. They employ
roughly 15.000.000 men.
Against NRA a-e the less competi
tive Industries, such as aluminum,
tobacco, packing, shipping, telegraph
ing. They employ roughly 4.000,000
men.
As between 15.000.000 workers on
one side and 4.000,000 on the other,
it was not difficult for Mr. Oreen to
make up his mind.
Huey Long slyly changed his figures
In his last radio appearance. Instead
of confiscating all Individual wealth
over 10.0O0.O0O. he is now going to
seire all over "three or fo" " millions.
Apparently he has been studying
arithmetic, nd has discovered that
the figures he has been using lor two
years did not even add.
Now all that remains to be explain
ed ts how he is going to split up t'.ie

Under pressure from government
troops, the Greek rebels retired tl

old line occupied by the Bulgarian
during the World war, running from
Drama to Demtrhlssar around the
spurs of the Balkan mountains.
Here they are using the old Bui

ATHENS, March 11. (AP) The
Greek government today reported
the smashing of armed rebel oppo
sition In Macedonia, the capture of
3,000 rebel soldiers, and the virtual
end of the Macedonian robellion.
The light cruiser Helle, originally
built In the United States for the
Chinese government and second ves

The cruiser was abandoned at 3 a.

The crew further reported that It
had thrown its officers, accused of
ordering the ship Into the rebellion,
overboard into the harbor. The min
istry ordered the vessel to- proceed
to the Gulf of Salonika.
Government dispatches did not
mention a single 'clash with the
rebels but painted a picture of a
rapid series of capitulations and
surrenders of villages into the gov
ernment's hands.
These rebels were fleeing eastward
from Macedonia while 3.000 had sur

DEPOSED RELIEF
AT
PORTLAND, Ore., March 11. (AP)
Three of the four deposed members of
the state relief committee roundly
criticized Governor Charles H. Martin
Sunday for publicly announcing their
dismissal before they were notified.
Mrs. W. W. Gabriel of Portland,
while stating she was glad to be re
lieved of her long term of duty on the
committee, declared members "should
be entitled at least to consideration
and courtesy."
Ben T. Osborne, executive secretary
of the State Federation of Labor, said.
It seems to me very discourteous for
the governor to announce the changes
In the state relief commission as a
'shakeup' and to connect his action
with the desire of some members of
the house to investigate the relief
situation."

nors method in removing him as a
member of the stnte relief committee

the four removed laf t week, today an
nounced he had resigned as a member
of the governor's planning board.

a continuation of substantial im
