SENATE ORDERS
 INVESTIGATION
 OF COMMISSION
REGENT CHARGES OF SENATOR WATSON TO BE INVESTIGATED QUESTIONS TRADE COMMIS- SONS VALUE AS GOVERNMENT AGENCY.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-R)-The senate today ordered searching in- vestigation of the federal trade com mission to be made by a subcommit- tee and asked for report to be made as early as possible. The in- vestigation was brot about by charges made by Senator Watson, of Indiana, during the special session just after the report of the commits sion on the packing industry had been published.
 The Indiana senator charged that the commission is hot bed of radi- calism; he asserted that it's leading members are under the influence of avowed socialists of the Victor Berger type and that the report on the pack CTS was inspired by persons of that class. Members of the commission denied the charges of the Indianian and asserted that he was carrying out instructions of the packers in seeking to discredit the commission.
 The resolution ordering the inves- tigation says that the committee will carry out it's instructions with the view of establishing the federal trade commissions attitude toward the na- tion's business interests; to investi- gate its general value as federal agency. The senate interstate com merce committee is to conduct the either as a whole or by naming subcommittee. Senator Cummins. republican, is chairman of the interstate commerce committee.

STATEMENT IS
 MADE BY MAYOR
 ABOUT OUTRAGE
CENTRALIA MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSIONERS ISSUE FORMAL STATEMENT GIVING FACTS ABOUT ARMISTICE DAY AT TACKS IN THAT CITY.

CENTRALLY, Wash, Dec. 3.-R- Mayor Rogers and the city commits sioners today joined in issuing full and formal statement in which all the facts connected with the Armis- tice Day parade and the attack upon it by the wobblies are set forth. The city officials in this statement charge the radicals with deliberate and cold blooded murder.
 The statement says that by admis- sions of its own members. the Indus trial Workers of the World planned the attack on the parade a fortnight before it was held. Those persons concerned in the attack, it is set forth, fired on the advance of the marchers without any justification The persons in the line of march, says the statement, were absolutely unarmed and without means of de- fense.
 The statement is for the most part based on the confessions made by two >or three of the wobblies who have been arrested and are still in confinement. They are said to have expected trouble from the legion men in the parade and prepared accord ingly, and when it did not come de- liberately fired on the unarmed men parading in honor of the first anni- versary of the victorious conclusion of hostilities.

MEXICO CITY, Mex, Dec 3-(R)- The outcome of the present tense situation between the United States and Mexico rests entirely with Presi- dent Venustiano Carranza.

WILL BE DELAY IN INITIATION
 LINES TO EAST
PAYNE SAYS IT WILL BE SOME TIME BEFORE NEW PASSENGER LINES ARE ESTABLISHED BE- TWEEN PACIFIC COAST AND THE ORIENT.

WASHINGTON, Dec. B. R - Chairman Payne of the United States shipping board in the course of a conference held with a delegation of shippers from the Pacific coast told the westerners that he was un- able to name the exact date when additional shipping board vessels woudl be available for service be- tween Pacific coast ports and the Orient, but he said it would be some time before any new passen- ger lines can be established in that service.
 The delay, he claimed, is caused by the shortage in passenger vessels. He admitted that this is partly over come by the addition of the former German passenger liners to the ship ping boards fleet but added that it takes three months to refit those ships for service. He said that the board would establish the lines as soon as possible. Charles c. Moore, of San Francisco, said that the Jap anese transportation companies han dle practically all the passenger traf- fife to the Orient.
