At’a press conference the NRA chief said “I don’t want to impose any code except on labor provisions, wages and hours, but if I have to on that I will.” This was his explanation of how he would deal with the telephone company situation if forced to do so by the refusal of the concern to subscribe voluntarily to the code, The Bell Telephone company, a subsidary of the American Tele-| prone and Telegraph company has submitted a code to the NRA.

CRANMER (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.— The demand for more cur- rency had a great deal to do with the money battles of Andrew Jackson, whose con- test with Nicholas Biddle and the second United States bank which he headed is historic. His fight would be comparable today to a battle royal with “Wall Street.” His “brain trust” then was known as the “kitchen cabinet,” ‘composed mainly of journalists and personal advisers who originated many of the tricks of the trade ‘in politics as practiced today. A “Hard Money” Man Jackson prided himself upon be- ing a “hard money” man, and on his tours about the country made a show of the silver, rather than paper, with which he paid his ac- coufits., However, the “conserva- tives” were allied against him. But Jackson was convinced the} bank was meddling in polities, and moréover that it was unsound for, govérnment deposits. “TI tell you, sir, she’s broke... the bank’s broke and Biddle knows ft,” he once exclaimed. Seeds of the revolt against the bank lay in credit expansion d ing the war of 1812, and the flationary effect of the govern-| ment’s easy credit policy toward selling public lands in the rapidly growing west.
