School Officers
To Debate Issue
On Child Pickers

Harry C. Skinner, county school
attendance officer, is in Fresno at
tending conference of attendance
officers from all parts OF the state.
One of the problems to be worked
out at the conference is solution
of the cotton picking controversy.
Under the law it is illegal for chill
dren to be used in the cotton fields
when they should be in school. AS
the cotton growers have been suf-
fering from a shortage of adult help,
necessary to pick the crop, there
has been considerable dissatisfac-
ton expressed by the growers.
Imperial Valley, in common with
other cotton growing sections of
the state, has suffered in this con
ncction, and while there have been
q few violations of the child labor
law, the majority of the growers
have refrained from using school
children in their fields.
Various phases of the state law
requiring the attendance of all chill
dren at school, will also be taken
up at the conference. ="

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Sena-
tor Burton X. Wheeler is charged by
the government merely with violat,
ing an interpretat of the law,'
Senator Thomas j. Walsh, Wheel
er's counsel. charged before the Dis
trict Of Columbia supreme court to-
day.
Wheeler with his wife, son, a
daughter and sister-in law, was
present in the court room as his
Montana colleague opened argu-
ments on his demurrer, which seeks
to have dismissed the second indict
ment returned here charging him
with the misuse of his office in OBJ
tanning prospecting permits.
Walsh, in his argument, which is
based on claim of double jeopardy
in connection with Wheeler's ac.
quittal in Montana on similar
charge, went into the history of
the settlement Of the west and as.
cribed its rapid progress to the gov
ernment's policy Of encouraging
homesteading and prospecting.
Therefore, Walsh said, to give
the statute an Interpretation which
would discourage prospecting by
placing limit on the number of ap-
plications, sis at war with the gen
eral policy Of congress for more than

LOCARNO PEACE PACTS

peace pacts fully.
On the third reading of the bill
! permitting the government to sign
the treaties at London, the parlia-

This was the apshot Of fight,
regarded as sure TO fail, engineered
by NatioNalists and Communists
against the measure on the ground
largely that the pact did not give
sufficient reciprocity to Germany
while they allegedly voluntarily
confirmed Germany's previous ac-
ceptance of the Versailles treaty.
A Communist motion of lack of
confidence in the government was
defeated by rising vote.
Nationalists Defeated
A similar Nationalist motion met
the same fate.
The Reichstag also approved the
