with the policy as rapidly as any
reasonable person could expect. But
If you treat the letter witn a pco.
acid of expert analogy, you will llnd
nuggets between the lines.
Dp to now, Mr. Morgcnthau has
always lifted his hat when bowing
to silver senators. This time, he
lifted his nose, blandly asserting
that "only those primarily interested
In speculation In silver" would want
to know what McCarran wanted to
know.
This was enough to arouse sus
picions about a possible change of
heart at the treasury. Proof of tt
lay In a succeeding assertion by the
secretary, distinguishing between the
stabilization fund "primarily having
to do with International exchange"
and the silver policy, which lve Im
plied was a "domestic matter." This
Is a reversal of the theory on which
the silver policy has been based.
These hints are only substantia
tion of other convincing but un
mentionable evdence that the treas
ury is looking at silver with a more
realistic eye. The recent predicament
about the world price seems to have
caused the change.
Tills does not mean that the pol

have battened down their hatches,

Decision Bolsters Governor
Martin's Stand' Against
Interference With Mill
Men Who Wish to Work
PORTLAND, Ore., June 17. (AP)
Judge James W. Crawford today de
nied the application of officials ot
the BawmlU and Timber Workers
union for a temporary Injunction
prohibiting county and state offi
cers from Interfering with picketing
at the Bridal Veil mlU property east
of Portland.
Union officials filed suit last week
seeking to enjoin Sheriff Martin T.
Pratt of Multnomah county, his
deputies, and State Police Superin
tendent Charles P. Pray from arrest
ing and dispersing pickets after
county officers had lodged 337 ot
them in Jail. Another 260 were scat
tered by state police.
The union based Its plea for an
Injunction on the asserted right to
"peaceful picketing." Sheriff Pratt
contended picketing had not been
peaceful and cited the beating of
truck driver near the Bridal Veil
property last Monday. Union mem
bers claimed their men had nothing
to do with the Incident.
The circuit court decision today
further bolsters Governor Charles
Martin's announcement that picket
ing of mills by other than men pre
viously employed in them must cease.
The governor last week ordered mo
bilization of the state police to halt
"Jeering mobs and Intimidation ot
workers," and declared the "entire
resources of the state should be
thrown behind law and order."
