Farmers Council
Demands Probe of
Tariff Schedules

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 30
Members of the Farmers National
Council have asked President Cool
idge to instruct the federal tariff com
mission to investigate and report on
the metal and cotton tariff schedules,
and especially to look into the duty
on table, household, kitchen and hos
pital utensils, made chiefly Of alu-
minum. Their appeal direct to the
tariff commission has been rejected.
They suggest that Gary and Schwab
be summoned as witnesses, on metal
schedules, and that Sen. Butler be
called to testify on cotton goods, of
which he is big manufacturer.
Secretary Mellon, head of the alu-
minum trust, whose extortions from
consumers were denounced by the
federal trade commission before Cool
idge scrapped that body, is for some
unknown reason not suggested as a
witness on aluminium tariff rates.

Soviet Union Speeds Is
Introduction of Use
of the Metric System
tspeeIaI to rhe Daily Workerl

MOSCOW, (By Rosta) I'm connec-
ton with the introduction into the
Union of Soviet Soc. Republics of the
metric system, demand has natural
ly arisen for very large quantities of
metric rules, scales, and weights.
The practical naturalization Of a
complete change to the metric system
cannot be effected until 1927. Never
theless, not few of the measures
under such a system have already
been put into operation.
Thus, for instance, all railway loads
are now calculated in the metric sys-
tenn, and in those places where the
requisite scales do not as yet exist,
measurements are effected with the
old measures, but are subsequently re-
duced to the metric denomination.
From April 1, all Moscow trade and
manufacturing establishments are en-
tirely to adopt the metric system. The
control over the accuracy of weights
and measures rests with the princi-
pal weights and measures department
at Leningrad, founded in 1896 under
the direction Of the eminent chemist
d. A. Mendeleyev, who has always
been warm supporter of the metric
system, and is the author of many
important articles regarding the nee
essity of its introduction.

involved, apparently, made the alleged
attempt a cTiminal offense- in the
eyes of Henry Ford and the justice
of the peace, who sits all day in a
court room in the shadow of the great
Ford stacks. The Ford Motor com.
pany pays about three-fourths Of the
taxes in Highland Park.
Dick Covers Up His Own Crime
Private Detective Maloney told Jus.
tice Of the Peace Keller the Ford de.
tectives were trying to break up the
speculation in fake Identification
cards. He intimated that severe pun
ishment in a case such as the Abbass
case would aid them materially. Be-
hind Maloney in the court room sat
two Ford employment office white
collar boys looking severe.
Abbass is not large and brawny
Syrian with an evil scar across one
cheek and wicked CLEAN in his eye.
He is boy and an orphan. He said
he was IL years old. He came to the
United States in 1920 and has been
going earnestly to night school. The
Identification card which he present
ed at the Ford gates when he went
knocking submissively and hopefully
there gave his age as 81. But he
looked like II. If he actually bought
the card he was probably made to
believe it was his only means of get
ting Ford jobs day, $50 week,
until the next laton.
~ Had to Eat"
81 had to eat" he said. II had to
have a job"
The finger prints on his identified
ton card did not correspond to his
own, it appeared. Abbass insisted he
had not bought the card but had OBJ
tanned it himself. He thought there
must have been some mistake at the
Ford Motor company employment Of.
flee. And Abbass had exactly s1.24
in his pocket.
81 had to eat" he repeated.
He can not be blamed for appear.
ing somewhat forlorn. But he was not
cringing. He was a bright lad.
1t should be borne in mind that the
spectators themselves have never
been arrested. Their names are not
known. Abass, perhaps their victim,
perhaps the victim of a Ford detec-
tive bureau frameup, was taken away
to jail. A few days previously an
other man was arrested under SINH
lar circumstances and fined $50.
Justice Keller sentenced Abbass to
pay 500 fine and SIS costs or serve
30 days in jail.
Il have only $1.24. 1 guess I'll have
to serve the time" Abbass said.
Couldn't Tell This Story
The court officers took him away.
John F. Sinclair could have obtained
and written story like this if he
had wanted to. If he had waited a
few days he could have obtained and
written this story about Abbass. But
he could not have sold it to the North
American Newspaper Alliance.
