BARTON WILL PUSH
/. FIGHT ON WAR GAS
Plans to Reopen Issue Un-

Washington.
By Cable TO The Star and New York World.

By Cable 20 The Star and New York World.
GENEVA, May 30.-Unless specif-
cally instructed to the contrary from
Washington, the American delegation
to traff1c in arms conference will
force reopening of the poisonous
gas issue. This was evident tonight
after Representative Theodore Z. Bur.
ton, head of the American delegation
said he was cabling for instructions
before presenting a. revised program
before the plenary session.
Burton has discussed the gas issue
with President Coolidge. Senate,
Borah and others, the President TAX
ing an especial interest, and therefore
IL is obvious that the Americans viii
not accept the military committee's
recommendation to shelve the matter
for future international conference
without direct orders from the White
House.
Three Proposals Made.
The judicial committee has report
ed itself unable TO reach an agree
ment concerning the competence OF
the present conference TO deal with
the poison gas question. 1t submitted
three propositions to the general com
mittee, namely:
The prohibition of gas warfare by
including in the treaty an article out
lawing the exporlation Of asphyxiat
ing or poisonous gases and other
analogous materials-a declaration
either in the acte finale or in a sepa
rate document specifying that the use
or gas is contrary to international law
Or the statement in a suitable arti
Gle of the convention that the use OF
gas is contrary to international law.
The military and naval committees
subsequently, recommended a future
conference on the matter This was
taken as a fnal disposition of the
troublesome principle sponsored by the
Americans. Representa- tive Burton
however, reserved the right to renew
the discussion, and has been consider
ing the matter seriously since. He
now has worked out new scheme
whereby he believes the gas prohibit
ton measure may be included in the
conventions treaty.
Il cannot reveal the plans now, un
til Washington's approval has beer
obtained" he said. Il am cabling for
instructions. The question is one
which cannot be neglected and l still
believe 1t is within the scope and duty
of this conference TO take decisive ac
tion, and l am prepared to press the
matter energetically."

PRISON GUARDS

QUIZ REVEALS
Beat andPoisoned Texas
Prisoners

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 10.-The joint
legislative committee investigating
Texas prisons was making plans to-
day to conduct the remainder of its
probe at the Huntsville prison farm,
where most Of alleged cruelties, testi-
fed to during the past week have TAX
en- place.
The committees decision followed
testimony yesterday of DR.. E. H. Boaz,
of Memphis, formerly confined in the
penitentiary, in which he declared
four deaths had resulted from cruelty
at the state farm.
Among these he declared were Joe
Furey, stamped to death after being
struck on the head with heavy club;
c. F. billiard, whom he declared was
allowed to bleed to death after an
operation, and two Negroes, one be-
ing given something to drink" after
which he died, and the other being
struck with a bar of iron and thrown
into a pond. A verdict OF death from
drowning" was returned by prison
physician, DR.. Boaz declared.

MURMUR OF LIFE
is STILL heard
IN COLLINS CAVE
Diggers Spurred on in
Their Frantic Efforts

CAVE CITY, KY, Feb. 10 The
daily radio tests today brought back
the same murmer of life from the in
ner recesses of Sand Cave to the head
phones at which physician listened.
The beats, said by electrical engi-
neers to be respirations, transmitted
by the microphone, came to the nor
NAL speed of health varying from 20
to ~ a minute.
Once DR.. William Hazlett Of Chi
cago said he thought he counted as
high as 80, but this, he said, might
be accounted for by other factors
along the wire which might give an
additional pulsation.
This is Collins eleventh day of i'm
prisonment-eleven days spent in a
natural straightjacket with icy water
trucking over his body, without food,
unable to move and yet it is believed
he still lives. 1t is this apparent mir
acle that spurs on digging operations,
keeps men working until they drop
from exhaustion and holds a nation in
suspense.

Capt. Hibben Gets
New Commission.
But No Decision
(sy The Federated Press)

NEW YORK, Feb. 1O.-After all the
thunder of the special military inves-
tigation into his character and career,
Capt. Paxten Hibben is enjoying the
acceptance of his renewed commits
sion and wondering what the trial
will do, if anything.
Capt. Hibben's activity in behalf Of
Russian relief and his announced adj
vocacy Of recognition of Russia drew
the attention of military authorities,
who investigated Hibben on his fitness
to retain a commission in the officers
reserve corps, U. S. army.
Hibben's case ended Jan. 10, but no
decision has been announced. His
commission expired Feb. s. Since
July %, 1928, his fitness to hold com.
mission" has been under investigation
by department of justice agents
trained in the Palmer red raids and
later by the official army inquiry board
Of officers.

Sheriff LEAVES
AS KHAN TAKES
HOLD IN HERRIN
Klansrnan Made Herrin
Special Deputy

HERRTN, Ill, Feb. 1O.-The ku klux
khan frightened its grip on Herrin last
night when Thomas Thornton, avowed
kansman, was appointed deputy
sheriff for the city of Herrin by the
county board Of supervisors.
A committee of eight business men
and bankers" representing the group
that has supplied the khan with funds,
and supported Glenn Young in his
raids on the homes of union miners,
was appointed by the mayor of Her
rim, c. E. Anderson, to pick twenty
five special policemen for Herrin.
This action was authorized by the
city council Of Herrin last night. The
city council also authorized the trial
of Chief Of Police Matt Walker and
officers Ross Lisenby and Harry
Walker for neglect of duty on the day
Glenn Young and Ora Thomas were
killed.
The miners see in this move Of the
city council as one more step of the
khan for securing complete control of
power in Herrin. The policemen are
now anti-klansmen, and the agreement
arranged by Governor Small, whereby
Sheriff Galligan leaves the county for
two years, makes possible control of
Herrin by the khan.
The new khan deputy sheriff Of Her
rim, Thornton, will be under the direct
supervision of Randall Parks, acting
sheriff Of Williamson county, the
states attorney, and the chairman of
the board Of supervisors. The men
thus controlling the Herrin deputy are
klansmen with the exception of Parks,
who is only rs years old.

UNITY MOVEMENT
PROGRESSES In
Great BRITAIN
Left Wing Proposal Is
Accepted

Definite steps to bring about closer
cooperation between the Trades I'm
ion Congress and the Trades Councils
have now been taken by the general
council of the T. u c. following ac-
ceptance by the Hull congress of the
recommendation to set up joint con-
sultative committee.
The committee has now decided to

there would be interchange Of inform
alton dealing with activity and policy,
and so ensure definite basis Of CO.
operation.
Greater Unity.
1t is suggested that the area con-
ferences should be held during March

be submitted on the following lines:
1. Pledging support to secure for
the workers generally a better and
higher standard of life; calling on the
government to ratify the Washington
convention on hours; supporting all
workers whose conditions may be
threatened; and assuring activity for
the Inauguration of the Industrial
Workers Charter adopted at the Hull
congress.
2. Towards greater unity in the
trade union movement and 100 per
cent organization.
8. Support for cooperative under
takings and the consideration Of ways
and means Of providing food, shelter,
ETC., for those on strike or locked out.
4. Organization of sports and en-
tertainments for workers in commune
ton with the unions.
Every Trades Council will be en-
titled to send one delegate to the ma
tional conference, and up to four dele
gates to the area conferences.

FRENCH PRESS
WORRIED over
RED ACTIVITY
Nationalist Organs Score
Herriot

PARIS, Feb. 10.-There used to be
a theory that if a public man was
equally detested by two extremes it
was a sure sign that it was pretty
near right. But that does not work
any longer. 1t has gore the way of
the fat earth theory.
Premier Herriot of France, is now
the target for two attacks; one COM
ing from the reactionaries and one
from the Communist. The extreme
reactionary organs, like Liberte prove
that Herriot has turned over the coun-
try to the Communists, but one could
never discover this by reading the
Communist newspaper H UNI mantle,
which proves quite conclusively that
Herriot is Just as seryiceable a tool
Of the French ruling class as Pom
care was.
Letters purporting to come from
zinoviev are published in the capital
list press, calling on the French Com
munists to renew their efforts to Or
ganize the colonial subjects of France
against the French ruling class.

BIG PROFITS OF
ELECTRIC TRUST
TO Be PRObED
Another Fruitless Invest
igation Begins

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The fed
eral trade commission was under SEN
atorial instruction today to open i'm
mediate investigations into the activ-
tiles of the alleged electrical and to-
bacco trusts.
The electrical trust inquiry was d.
rected chiefly at the General Electric
company, but it applied to all its sub
salaries.
If the trust charges are sustained
by federal inquiry, Senator Norris,
republican, of Nebraska, declared
governmental prosecutions would fol.
low. The field of inquiry, he said,
would involve telephones, electricity
lights, lamps, and especially, the re-
Gently opened field of radio equip

Norris and Senator Howell, repub-
lican, of Nebraska, charged the in
quiry would reveal a working arrange
ment between the General Electric
company and its principal competi-
tors, the Westinghouse Electric and
the Western Electric company, thru
the manipulation of stock control
The Western Electric company is a
subsidiary of the American Telephone
and Telegraph company.
This investigation will disclose
that the General Electric and the
Western Electric are controlled by
the same individuals and together
maintain a monopoly in the electric
field,'' Senator Howell said.
Huge Profits In Radio.
"This investigation will prove the
electric trust is making radio lamps
for 26 cents and selling them to the
public for So apiece"
The tobacco investigation will cen

bacco company and the Imperial To-

agreement, according to Senator

SAFFRON FRENCH
SOCIALISTS DROP
Intern ATIONAL'
Their Former Daily Is
Now Fortnightly

PARIS, Feb. 10.-The French social
ist party definitely dropped the Inter
national anthem from its musical
menu, when for the first time
French socialist congress opened
without the singing Of labor's famous
revolutionary song.
Premier Herriot was severely criti-
cised by several speakers for his
hostile attitude towards Germany, but
as usual they did not. advocate break
ing with him. Leon Blum, leader Of
the French parliamentary socialist
group challenged the congress to
order the group to break with Her
riot. Some of the speakers claimed
that they drove Millerand from power.
There is a severe struggle going in
the French socialist party between
those who wish to keep the party in
opposition to all governments until it
has the necessary strength to resume
office and between the element which
favors collaboration with the capital
list parties.
The Bargain
The terms for the socialist support
Of the French government were fixed
last May in a series of letters that
passed between Leon Blum and Her
riot. The socialists have several bills
which they want pushed thru parlia-
ment and their only hope for getting
them by is to continue their support
Of the present government.
Rudolph Hilferding, former German
minister of finance was loudly ap-
plauded at the congress when he
boosted the league Of nations and
urged the socialists to insist on the
evacuation Of Cologne, the occupation
Of which poisoned democracy"
The administrative committee was
charged with the very difficult duty
of getting the official organ of the
party, the Populaire, which is now
published forthightly, back on a daily
basis. One deputy demanded that the
government provide the necessary
funds in return for socialist party sup
port. This suggestion caused consider
able embarrassment. The weakness of
the socialist party compared to that
of the Communists is shown by the
fact that the latter's daily organ, the
Humanite has circulation Of over
100000 daily.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Feb. TO-
The Kelley postal pay and salary in

thirds vote. The bill must now be

The house, by rejecting the postal
