The American Smelting and Re fining company announced that its lead plant at Murray will reopen re-open following a five-months shutdown. Approximately 300 workers will be re-employed. Better position of world metal markets resulting from increased demand and a sharp decrease of stocks was the reason attributed to the reopening announcements.

He Dredicted last week that there would be such suspensions and asserted that they were an attempt to "intimidate'' him from enforcing the law. Ignores Statement He would not discuss in. detail the statement of Fred Perkins, York, Pa., battery manufacturer, who announced he would defy the wage-hour law just as he defied NRA. Andrews said his only comment was that the trade association of -battery manufacturers already had asked a 40-cent minimum for the industry, and that "a majority of the battery manufacturers seem to be willing to go along with us, even if Mr. Perkins isn't" Andrews was asked if child labor la-bor provisions of the act now made unnecessary ratification' of the child labor amendment to the United States constitution. He said that he believed the amendment which has been pending since 1924, still is necessary, "if for no other reason than its moral effect, ef-fect, although this law helps a lot."
