plaints that sweatshop labor condi

Contract Bridge
BY W. E. M’KENNEY
Secretary American Bridge League
I SUPPOSE you often wonder if
these bridge experts who par
ticipate in various tournaments
really ever make any serious mis
takes.
Indeed they do—and when they
do. it sometimes is difficult to con
ceive how they can take so few
tricks.
I am going to give you the fol
lowing hand—look it over closely.
South was the declarer at three no
trump. The hand was played in the
Ohio state contract tournament.
I won't give you the bidding.
Sufficient to state that North and
South arrived at the bad contract
of three no trump. East and West
really should be playing the hand
for a partial score at spades.
West opened the ten of spades,
a small spade was played from
dummy. East, for some reason
believing it necessary to block the
suit off, played the five of spades,
allowing South to win with the
jack.
South now led a small heart
and played the ten from dummy.
East decided not to win the
first heart trick, but to hold up
one round, so played the six. The
declarer then ran off five club,
tricks. On the fifth club, he dis
carded the nine of hearts from his
own hand.
West, on his first discard,
echoed in diamonds, dropping the
eight. He then let go his eight of
hearts and the deuce of spades.
East let go of a spade, a heart
and a diamond.
a a a
NOW. the declarer returned a
small heart from dummy. East
was forced to win with the ace and

! another said her pay for two weeks
j was 93 cents.
Under threats of losing their jobs
| they were compelled to remain at
| the shop while waiting for piece
work, they told authorities.
The complaints were made against
the Moyer Manufacturing Company,
which holds a government contract
j to make 10,000 pairs of khaki pants
j at 39 cents a pair.
I Sidney Moyer, secretary of the
! firm, made a blanket denial of the
charges. He said wages ran “as
! high os $lB a week," and that an
! eight-hour day was maintaianed.
This was in contrast to testi
mony of employes that $6 to $8 was
the average pay for two weeks, and
that, even the fastest workers, given
“piece work" employment every
minute of an eleven-hour day, could
not make more than $1.40.

South played his king. West let
go of the six of spades.
East was in the lead, though his
partner had given up the idea of the
spade suit due to his two discards,
and as his partner had echoed in
diamonds, he now returned the ten
of diamonds. Declarer played the
king and West won the trick with
the ace.
West, in the lead now, with the
king and one spade and the queen
of spades in dummy, was afraid to
lead the spade, thinking that the
declarer probably held the ace and
one spade. Instead, he returned
the jack of diamonds.
The declarer won with the queen
and cashed his nine of diamonds,
discarding the queen of spades from
dummy.
He then led the jack of hearts
and overtook in dummy with the
ineen, winning the last trick with
he seven of hearts, thereby making
five no trump on a hand with which
he should have taken only six tricks.

GOLD STANDARD
REPEAL SIGNED!
BY ROOSEVELT
All U. S. Currency Now Is
Legal Tender; Average
Citizen Unaffected.
Up T'nitai Pro*
WASHINGTON, June 6. All
American currency is legal tender
today after President Roosevelt
Monday night signed the joint con
gressional resolution, eliminating
the gold repayment clause in public
and private obligations.
The measure, which provoked bit
ter criticism in some circles here
and abroad, was signed by Mr. j
Roosevelt without ceremony.
Specifically it makes it impossible
in the future for creditors to de
mand payment of obligations in
gold.
Government securities carried the
gold clause.
Prior to the President’s drastic
gold embargo, a holder of federal
paper could demand payment on
maturity in the yellow metal.
The President’s signature with
draws this privilege.
The average citizen will not be
affected greatly by the measure. He j
has been unable to get gold since |
| the bank holiday.
Recently President Roosevelt said
I there was not sufficient gold in this j
j country now, and had not been in
; years to meet a concerted demand
for the metal by those entitled to it
through contractural obligations.
Meantime, the justice department
is continuing its efforts to bring |
millions of dollars worth of goldj
out of hoarding. Attorney General
Homer Cummings said he had sent |
the names of, more than 1,000 per
sons suspected of having hoarding
gold, to the bureau of investigation j
for action.

COURTACTIONS
M’Adoo Demands Airing of
Receiverships Scandals in
Federal Judiciary.
By Bcrippa-Hotcard Xeictpaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. June 6.—A de
mand for a “thorough investigation"
of the federal judiciary and its ad
ministration of bankruptcy and re
ceivership proceedings has just been
made by Senator William Gibbs
McAdoo iDem., Cal).
Senator McAdoo introduced a re
solution calling for a senate inves
tigation of various receivership
scandals that have come to light.
This he laid upon the table during
the recent-Louderback impeachment
trial. Now that this is completed,
the Californian will press for pas
sage.
The resolution asks for a special
senate committee of five, to delve
into alleged maladministration, ex
cessive fees, and alleged “receiver-
j ship rings" of favored politicians
and lawyers.
Senator McAdoo was one of the
| majority of senators who voted to
! oust the San Francisco jurist on
i charges relating to receivership ir
j regularities.
“A thoroughgoing investigation is
| necessary to restore public confl
: dence in the national judiciary," he
said today.
"Some of the abuses in these pro
ceedings already have been exposed.
The recent Louderhack trial has
emphasized the necessity for this
investigation.
"It is claimed, and I believe with
j justice, that bankruptcy rings oper
, ate in most of our large cities.
"When an unfortunate debtor is
j forced into bankruptcy a large share
j of his assets and sometimes all of
! of them are dissipated through ex
; cessive fees allowed by the courts,
j prolonged litigation and other un
; necessary and unjustifiable ex
; penses.
"The object of the law is to pro
tect the estate of the debtor and
