ES|TALY At HEAD .
IN MEDITERRANEAN
Paris Journals Comment on
Visit of Spanish King
to Rome.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, November 25.-Commenting
on the visit of the Spanish sovereigns
and Gen. Primo Rivera to Italy, the
Matin devotes a long article, which
appeared this morning, giving the
comparative naval strength in the
Mediterranean of Italy and Spain on
the one side and France on the other,
under the heading:
Our navy no longer capable of in
suring the liberty and security of our
communications with northern Africa
In the event that the habitual cor
diality of the official speeches should
cover positive accords entered into
by the two governments"
Navy Figures Given.
The Matin gives the following fig
ures; France-six battleships. six
pattie cruisers, three light cruisers,
one destroyer, thirteen torpedo boats
and twenty submarines: Italy and
Spaln-thirteen battleships, three
battle cruisers, eighteen light cruis-
ers, eight destroyers, seventy-two
torpedo boats and flfty-one subma-
rines. Total units, France, 4s; Italy
and Spain, 165.
The Mediterranean has become q
Latin lake" adds the Matin.
Mussolinis policy of national ex-
pansion," continues the paper, has
been so often clearly expressed that
there Is no need to dwell on it. The
vigor and harshness with which
Greece was dealt with at Corfu, the
attitude of protest concerning Tunis-
Ian problems, the manner of dealing
with Jugoslavia and Ffume, as well
as the claims relative to Tangier,
without recalling other acts, show
plainly that Italy intends to play a
leading role in the Mediterranean.
Backs Italy as Ally.
The Italians are our allies. We
nave no reason to question their
good relations with Spain, but our
naval policy is dominated by pri-
mary vital necessity. 1t is a ques-
ton of life and death with France
that she alone shall be able to insure
the liberty and security of our com
munlcations with northern Africa
against whatever group of powers
may be formed"

DRY LEAGUE ACTS
DECLARED ILLEGAL
Tinkham to Ask for Congress
Investigation of Its
Expenditures.

Investigation by Congress of the
activities of the Anti-Saloon League
is called for in a resolution which
Representative George Holden Tink-
ham of Massachusetts,. a direct de-
scendent of the Puritans, has ready
to introduce the first day that Con-
gress meets.
Mr.. Tinkham charges in his resolu-
tion that the league has openly and
f,agrantly" violated the federal cam
paign contributions law and the cor
rupt practices laws of various states
has attempted to influence federal
judicial appointments: has denounced
tempted to influence the President in
ments, and actually exercised it's in
bureau of an executive department"
to an extent that even appointments
of persons in the service of the bu-
reau are made with the sanction and
approval of the Anti-Saloon League.
without public accounting the
league, Mr.. Tinkham asserts, has
raised and expended vast sums Of
money to influence public opinion
directly to control elections and to
pay professional organizers and lob
byists throughout the United States,
and particularly in Washington.
The resolution will propose that the
investigation be made by a commit
tee of seven members appointed by
the Speaker.

WHEELER DENIES CHARGE.
Skeptica1 of Motives Of "Tinkering
Congressman"

Announcement by Representative
Tinkham, republican, Massachusetts,,
that he would seek to have a special
House committee investigate the &C
tivities Of the Anti-Saloon League
brought from Wayne B. Wheeler,
general counsel of the league. the
statement today that Mr. Tinkham
had made false and groundless"
charges against the organiZa ton.
"The last proposal of the tinker
ing congressman from Massachusetts
to take the league apart and see how
it works." said Mr.. Wheeler, will
not impress the American people until
they are convinced that he is in
spired by a desire to promote the
public welfare instead of that Of the
liquor interests
Replying to Mr.. Tinkham's charge
that the Anti-Saloon League had vio-
lated the federal election law, Mr..
Wheeler declared the league was the
only national organization which has
for years complied with the law. Wet
organizations. he added, always have
ignored it.

SUBPOENA ISSUED
FOR FORD OFFICIAL
Commission Seeks to Cues.
ton Railroad Head on
Consolidation.

For the third time the Interstate
Commerce Commissions hearings on
railroad consolida ton. held open so
that facts in regard to Henry Ford g
Detroit, Toledo and Ironton road
might be put into the record, was
adjourned today without a repre-
sentative of the corporation having
been heard.
Several days ago a subpoena was
issued for E. q. Liebold, formerly
Mr.. Ford's private secretary and now
vice president of the road, but SO far
attempts to serve the summons have
failed Further efforts will be made
to get the Ford official into the pro-
ceedings.
In the consolidation proceedings the
commission has asked railroads con-
cerned to submit reports on traffic
volume and traffic interchanges, but
the Ironton company from the begin
ming has failed to take any part.
Some time ago a letter from it's Off
cials, declaring merely that the Ford
road desired to be let alone to work
out its own policies in it's own way
was received and put into the docket
of the commissions investigation.
Later the commission made more for
NAL demand for facts which 1T con-
sidered necessary to make up the
record, but without avail.
In adjourning today, notice was
given that another session would be
held tomorrow morning, at which the
Ironton would be heard if the COM
pulsory subpoena had been served in
the meantime.
This Is the second occasion on which
Mr.. Ford's desire to conduct the
Ironton road in a fashion other than
that followed by railroads generally
has been demonstrated. Shortly after
acquiring the property two years ago
his representatives failed to file
promptly the regular returns of ex-
penditures and receipts which the COM
mission requires of all carriers The
matter was Strengthened out, how
ever. and its earnings report began
coming In, as have those of all other
roads.

The average government salary is
about $1,000 year, Mr.. Seymour
says. The government clerk often
has a family making demands on his
income. Most of the millions of dol
lars paid out by the government
every year must go back into circula-
ton to make both ends of the govern
ment workers salary meet, Mr.. Sey-
mour says. And it must go back i'm
mediately, for the government en-
ploye working on a small salary
often spends his money before he
gets 1t.
Constant and uninterrupted pay
ment of government salaries to a
large percentage of the purchasing
public of Washington assures a con-
tinuity of sales and business in this
city paralleled nowhere else, Mr.. Sey-
mour claims. Other cities are affect
ed by business depressions and build
ing construction stops and many are
out of work during such periods, but
in Washington the government meets
its salary obligations twice each
month, regardless of business con-
ditions here or elsewhere.

$364,4S2 ADVANCE
IN RA|LMEN'S PAY
Labor Boards Wage Award
to $500 TeIegraphers and
Station Agents.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, November 26.-Increases
IN wages affecting approximately
$500 railroad telegraphers and sta
tfon agents and aggregating approx
imately S364,4S2, were awarded in a
decision announced last night by the
United States Railroad Labor Board.
The board explained that it had at
tempted to correct existing inequali-
ties without attempting standardized
tion and without granting general
increase. The payment of a punitive
rate of time and one-half for over
time to telegraphers and station
agents also was awarded, and a few
other changes in rules were author
lied.
Twenty-six Companies Affected.
The parties to the case in which
the decision was rendered are the
Brotherhood of Railway Station En-
ployes, the Order of Railroad Teleg-
raphers. and twenty-six railroad
companies. The plan pursued by the
board was to deny increases on roads
where it found the existing rates
equal to the average paid on COM
parable roads in the same territory
and to award increase on other roads
which would bring their rates up to
the average paid in their territory
by comparable roads. In some cases
the increases affect one group of en-
ployes and not another. They range
from to 5 cents an hour
at is but just to say reads the de-
cision, that some members of the board
favored a general increase and that
some opposed any increases at ALL"
In dealing with rules, the board in
the majority of instances reaffirmed
previous decisions. 1t is believed that
the payment of time and one-half for
overtime will result in a material re-
duction in the amount of overtime work
required.
Chief StatfStician's Estimate.
It is estimated by NJ. w. Hart. chief
statistician, that if overtime work were
required to the present extent under
the new rule (Which is not expected)
1t would cost the companies S449,023 a
year. The board held that overtime
work is largely in the employers con-
troll.
On the other hand. the board denied
q request for punitive rates for work
on Sundays and holidays. 1t cited a
ruling issued by William G. McAdoo
as director general of railroads during
federal control to the effect that such
work was expected by the public, could
not be avoided and should not be paid
for on a punitive basis. 1t added that
'the director general took steps to re-
uuce Sunday work to a minimum, that
railroad arrangements, "aS a rule, pur-
sue the same course" and that this
board has expressed a like DESIRE

Concerning
Anna PavlOwa

Anna Pavlowa still remains the
worlds greatest classical dancer.
There is no argument on that score
as far as I am concerned. Yesterday
Pavlowa and her many assistants
appeared in two dance programs at
the Murat. My remarks win be CON
fined to the night performance only
as | was unable to attend the matinee.
Pavlowa is a greater and bigger
artist than she was years ago. Oh,
you viii say that years will tell. Yes,
that is very true, but the years have
been kind to this wonder woman OF
dance-dreams. An audience which
nearly taxed the capacity of the
Murat greeted her last night. Judg-
ing by the applause. she pleased every
one present
l was most anxious to see The
Oriental Impressions. and we owe
a debt OF gratitude to Ona B. Tai
bot. who insisted that Indianapolis
should see the new dances. Pavlowa
agreed and changed her tour pro-
gram to please Mrs. Talbot.
The first number OF the Oriental
group was a series of Japanese
dances done by Miles. Stuart, FI1ede.
