COOPERATIVE Buying
Plan of Brotherhoods
To Solve Living Cost

Washington, Jan. 7.-(By The As
ISOLATED Press. Failing to obtain
satisfactory relief from the high
cost of living, either through further
wage advances by the railroad ad
|ministration or from the anti
prohteering campaign of the De-
partment of Justice, officials of the
four big railway brotherhoods and
the railroad shop crafts, affiliated
with the American Federation OF
Labor, have decided to seek So
luton for themselves through co
operative buying, production nd
distribution. The step was con-
strued in some quarters as indicat-
ing that demands for further wage
increases would not be pressed
pending outcome of the expert
ment.
Details of the cooperative scheme
have not vet been completed, but
plans have been under consideration
since the farmer-labor conference at
Chicago il November. The forma-
ton of the All-American farmer
labor cooperative commission, an
outgrowth of the conference, was
announced.
Another conference will be held
in Chicago February II to IS.

Repeal Of Dry Act
Ratification Urged
BY N. Y. Governor

Albany, N. Y. Jan. 7-Reversal Of
the action OF the 1919 legislature in
ratifying the prohibition amendment
to the United States constitution was
urged by Governor Alfred E. Smith
in his annual message to the 1920
Legislature at its initial session to-
day.
The governor said there was grave
doubt as to the power of number
of state legislatures that have ratified
the 18th amendment to do so in view
of the referendum provisions in their
respective constitutions.

ALIENIST THINKS
NEW MENTALLY
NOT DEVELOPED
Lengthy Cross-Examination Of
Witnesses Prolongs Muir
der Trial. .

Los Angeles, Jan. o Lengthy
cross-examination of witncsSe
called by the prosecution who had
testified Harry New was sane at the
thine he is alleged to have killed his
fancee, Freda Lesser, here last July,
prevented the prosecution from
closing its case against New
Wednesday.
DR.. D. H. Calder, the second of
three alienists, the last witness the
state expected to call, was on the
stand when adjournment was taken.
1t is doubtful if arguments will be
begun before Friday, attorneys say,
and the case will not go to the jury
before Saturday noon or Monday
morning.
Believes New Sane.
DR.. Calder testified on direct ex-
animation he believed New was
sane when he was alleged to have
shot Miss Lesser, based partly on
examinations he had made of New
in the county Jail.
Under cross-examlnation by Ee-
compte Davis, of counsel for New,
the; doctor said he considered New
AN undeveloped man mentally" He
admitted also he had gained the i'm
preston from his examinations that
New was not feigning insanity.
Further, he said, if the hypothetical
question asked by the defense of its
experts several days ago was based
on truthful testimony, he thought
the defendant was dangerous man
and ought to be confined.
Defense Council Gratihed.
DR.. Charles Allen testified he be-
lieved New was sane when he shot
Miss Lesser, but defense counsel
professed to be gratiied by this wit
ness statements under cross-exam-
nation. He testified he considered
several alleged acts of the accused
the acts of an insane man and add
ed that they furnished ground for
suspicion that New was insane.
DR.. Allen said he had special ref
erences to the alleged act of New,
while serving with the Indiana Ma
tional guard on the Mexican border
in 1916, when New is said to have
refused to obey orders and to have
sulked in his tent without eating for
4S hours, thus making himself liable
to trial by courtnartial. The wit
ness expressed the opinion that if
New had been tried by court-martial
he would have been acquitted on the
ground of mental responsibility.

New York, Jan. 7.-Compulsory
consolidation of the railroads into
few great organizations before

the public and labor, as well as
capital, represented in the manage.
ment of the systems was advocated
by Director General Hines in an
address before the New York City
Bar association.
Without this Fundamental re-
constructions" Mr.. Hines declared,
the result will be progressively
disappointing and in few years,
the dissatisfac ton of the public will
manifest itself through all inslstent
demand for a radically different
plan which is not likely to stop
short of outright government own
ership."
Pointing out the almost inpos-
sible" situation of the railroads pri-
or to federal control, owing to the
difficulty of financing the lines, Mr.
Hines said that "our past experience
has demonstrated that the old sys-
tenn will not succeed. He advocated
the fixing by congress of general
standard of rates to allow earn
ings Clearly in excess of reason
able return" which must go large
ly to providing adequate reserves to
take care of years of depression
and at the same time enough of the
excess must be left with the COM
pauy earning it to provide adequate
stimulus for efficiency.

assuming that the representatives
of capital can alone manage the
