MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 14. 1937. PAOE THREE EASING OF. CREDIT I TO Expenditure, of 300 Million of Frozen Gold Hoard, Buying Short Time Fed eral Securities Is Plan . WASHINGTON. Sept. 14. (AP) The government began Monday a new credit-easing course of action designed to assure continuance ol the . "easy" money which fiscal au thorities have credited with spur ring business recovery. It provides. ( 1 ) for expenditure of ft300,000.000 of the treasury's "frozen" gold hoard the first re lease since the gold "sterilization" program was begun last December; and-.- 2 for open market purchases of short-term government securi ties. Fiscal authorities kept a close watch on the day's erratic stock market, but official comments on ef fects of the new credit program were few. Hit Selling Pressure. Noting early market gains and the later sharp recession, one high fiscal authority said It appeared many traders merely had been waiting a slight upward tilt In quotations to renew the liquidation movement of recent days. Stocks mounted one to three points In an opening market rally, but later 'selling pressure wiped out gains and cut some securities to even lower levels. The government security market followed the anticipated course in pointing higher during early trad ing, with some bonds recording a 83 gain per $1000. A later loss of part of these gains brought expressions of surprise from some authorities. Aid U. S. Securities. Federal reserve board officials em phasized the purpose of the credit plan was not to support the gov ernment security market, but It generally was assumed the program would have this collateral effect. This program wjts agreed upon late Sunday by the federal 'reserve board. Fiscal experts said it was a logical continuation of the board's recent policy of lowering rediscount rates of reserve banks. It also marked, they said, a dis tinct reversal of the policy of tight ening money rates initiated with the gold sterilization program. At that time, however, banks held large sur plus lendable funds. The policy then was to prevent credit inflation. AAA MAY BOLSTER PRICE OF. APPLES WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.

IS TO SETTLE UNION ROW OVER RED LABEL BEER Gov. Charles H. Martin is asked in a letter mailed yesterday and made public today by S. J. Christie, presi dent of the Southern Oregon Hop Growers, and Ben Hilton, state execu tive committeeman from southern Oregon, to take whatever steps may be required and are within his au thority to end the factional union dispute which is alleged to prevent the delivery of Red label or mid western beer in this state and Wash ington. The letter to the governor said that hops are one of the major agri cultural products of Oregon and that 99 per cent of them are sold to the brewers of the so-called Red la bel beer. The brewers threaten to boycott Oregon hops unless some thing is done to permit delivery of their beer, the letter asserted. The threatened boycott would be disastrous to Oregon hop growers. who have spent over five million dollars for labor alone, employing many thousands people in the pro duction and harvesting of the 1937 crop the letter stated.' The letter declared that the bop growers have no quarrel with organized labor but asked for protection against bank ruptcy resulting from factional un ion strife.
