MIlNERS' MEETING
 ENDS IN DISORDER
Lewis. Powerless To Restore
 Order-Delegate Hurt

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Jan. 30.- The United Mine workers' convention broke up in wild disorder late wednes day following row ovcrSan amendmen to the union constitutions which Interna ftional President John L. Lewis wa powerless to halt except by adjourn ment.
 One delegate was knocked down il the turmoil, which continued for nor than an hour, as Lewis rapped vainl. with his gavel for order.
 You may shout till you meet eacl other in hell, but you won't chang, the ruling" cried Lewis as he adjourne, the days session. Y
 Lewis was addressing insurgent dele gates, who were shouting and stampinl their feet in violent protest against wha they calld machine" methods and de mand for Justice
 Trouble began when the unions com mittee on constitutional amendment! recommended non-concurrence in ar amendment which would give each loca union one vote in the convention fol every hundred mepbers. Under tht present rule, no union can now cast more than five votes.
 Demand for roll call followed s standing vote showing it in favor oi the committees report and 692 against but the vote for the roll call was few short of the necessary number.
 Announcement of the vote on the roll call developed turmoil, as delegates rose on their chairs and shouted to the plat. form and high heaven.
 Sergeants-At-Arms Helpless
 Sergeants-at-arms walked helplessly up and down the aisles, trying to wave the insurgents back into their seats.
 Lewis rapped for order, and each time the demonstration subsided. called on report.
 As many tines, the disorder broke out afresh. On several occasions, delegates tried to stampede out of the hall, but were turned back by the shouts of the others. f-
 A half dozen bolters got to the door and T. J. Smith of Tennessee. an old gray haired man, blocked their way, shouting. By God. you don't get out of here" Smith is 92 years old. sr
 One delegate jumped into the aisle shouting Il want a square deal"
 Another delegate struck him blow on the mouth and sent him reeling to the floor. It was the sign for fresh outburst and women visitors in the gal leries began leaving the hall.
 Throughout the demonstration, Lewis stood unmoved at the speakers table, pounding his gavel with measured beat and crying, ''Order, let's have order!''
 When he at last adjourned the con ventioh groups of delegates gathered outside the convention hall to make plans for continuing the demonstration Thursday.

reduction will be made | part of the revenue bill. If it is approved after March 15, Mir. Green said, provision will be made to allow refund on those taxes already paid.
 Prior to the meeting of majority members, the full committee had con. sidered further technical details of the revenue bill. Chairman Green adjourn cd the committee subject to. call when it reached the income rates. the heart of the tax revisiors program.
 Decision Caused by Democrats
 The decision of republican, members to write their own income rates was explained in statement by Chairman Green as resulting from the refusal of democratic members of the com mittee of our offer to compromise and their evident intention to support un- changed the ,so-called Garner plan."
 Mir. Greens statement brought re- tort from Representative Garner, who declared the formers promise that we have refused to consider a. com. promise is not correct.
 The action of the majority members of the committee forecasts a stubborn fight on the bill, when it reaches the floor.
 Representative Garner has declared the democrats were united for the rates proposed in his plan and would vote for them on the floor. Amendments to the rates schedule are in order in the modified house rules. s
 Representative I,onkworth, republi- can floor leader, in urging a compro- mise in committee on the Mellon bill, has said that if the committee raised the Mellon sur-tax rates enough sup port could be gained for the bill to assure i8 passage without material changes and without long fight on the floor.

IDAHO
EGG PRODUCERS
ALL ORGANIZED
Entire State Body De-
pends Now on Success
in Few Communities
With Signings

Pocatello-Success or failure OF the
ldaho-Oregon Egg Marketing asso-
citation in southeastern Idaho now de-
pends upon each community accord
ing to the organization committee.
Everything has been done so that egg
grading, packing and shipping to out
side markets may begin about March
u, provided 5000 hens are signed
up.
Owing to the scattered units from
ST. Anthony and Twin Falls, Paris
and Grace, each section must be de-
pended upon to do its share. The one
thing that makes for uncertainty is
that one community failing will so
reduce the number OF hens that a ship
ping station cannot be operated at
profit.
March ? is set as the last date 10
sign up and if the full number is
then available the shipping station will
be opened. If less than $4,000 are
available it will mean continuance
of our present system OF trading eggs
for groceries as did our early pioneers
when there were few hens in the coun-
try and the income from these hens
were unimportant.
Today there are hundreds OF. thpu-
sands of hers in Idaho but no ade-
quatc marketing system.
Other sections of the state and ma
tion have modern cooperative egg
grading. packing and shipping plants
where the farmers are paid accord
ing to the grade of eggs produced and
the margin between the producer and
consumer is reduced to a minimum.
