of conversations undertaken today
between Winston Churchill, chan

OFFICE BILL
PROPOSED
Entirely New Measure Will Be
Presented to Congress
BY President

An entirely new reorganization
bill will be presented by President
Coolidge to the next Congress.
The old plan. prepared by the
joint commission on reorganiza-
ton under the Craftsmanship of
Walter Brown, virtually has been
scrapped and the new measure
will bear little resemblance to that
reported to Congress two years
ago.
One of the important features
of the proposed new legislation
will be the result of the survey
ordered by President Coolidge of
the independent agencies of the
Federal Government. Included
among these is the Employees
Compensation Commission which
has been the subject OF an inten-
Sive inquiry.

commission with the Bureau of
Pensions or some other established
agency. Whether this recommends
ton will be made to Congress by
the President, however, has not been
determined.
There are other features included
in the new reorganization scheme
which are designed to settle such
long standing points of controversy
as the status of the Bureau of For
estry and the Bureau of Markets in
the Department of Agriculture.

Utilities Commission Now
Studying Earnings as Re-
ported IN Times

al reduction of the fare Of the
Rapid Transit Com-
pany was forecast today when it
was learned that the Public Utili-
ties Commission IS studying the
returns of the company with a
view to fixing a rate that will be
in proportion to valuations Of the
property.
It was exclusively announced in
The Washington Times last Sat-
urday that the bus company for
the past seven months has been
making a return far in excess of
that allowed other utilities, accord
ing to a liberal valuation esti-
mated by utilities experts.
Big Profits Made
The rate of return from January
l to July 81 has varied from Is to
3S per cent on valuation Of $685.
1875. The valuation which, will be
used by the utilities commission is
not expected to exceed this vafna-
ton. 1t is not unlikely that it will
fall short of the valuation Of $685.
1856 given the company by William
F. Ham, president of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company,
at a recent hearing on a aproposed
extension of bus lines.
A study is being made by the
Public Utilities Commission of the
income of the company. If the
survey shows that the return is dis
proportionate to the valuation of
the property, steps will be taken,
it was learned today, to fix fare
rate that will give the company a
fair return, but one that is not ex-
cessiVe.
In Force Six Months
The present rate of 10 cents cash
fare, or five tokens for As cents.
has been effective for the last six
months. 1t was contingent on put
ting on new bus equipment, and at
once showed earnings greater than
before received.
other utilities in the District have
been held to a return slightly in
excess of Z per cent Utility ex-
perts hold that a return for the
bus company should not exceed 8
per cent, even allowing for the fact
that it is a new utility and has not

''Bucky" Figures Pichers Are
Wise to EarI's Weakness
and He IS Benched
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER
Times Sports Editor

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 24.T Tex
Jeanes, now playing center field
for the Birmingham Barons in the
Southern Association, will make an
attempt this week to show class
as an outfielder with the cham
pions of the world. He is ex-
pected to report to Manager BQcky
Harris tomorrow at st. Louis and
will at once be given an oppor-
tunity to show whatever ability
he has.
Earl McNeely, brilliant as he is
in the field and on bases, is prac-
tically through as a member of
the Washington club. He must
acquire a new batting form in
order to remain in the league.
One complete season in the Amer
lean League has given all oppos-
ing pitchers knowledge of how to
stop his hitting and his tremen-
dous speed counts. for nothing.
Fooled By Curve Ball
1t has been pointed out to Nc
Nicely, who is no mans fool, that
he might remain a big Lacquer il
he chokes his bat more, thus doing
away with what might be termed
a golfing stroke at the plate. He
is a sucker on curve ball and is
usually hitting underneath the fast
ones. This explains why he has
been benched.
Jeanes, who had brief trial with
the Cleveland Indians two years
ago, comes up from the minors with
the best of promises.
Like McNeely, Jeanes is a right
handed hitter and he is said TO be
quite as fast in the field. Whether
he is as smart a runner on the
bases remains to be seen, the Cali
fornian being remarkably heady
base runner.
Yes. l expect to try out Jeares
at once" said Manager Harris to-
day. IF he is what Joe Engels
saws he is, he ought to look pretty
good in center field for the rest of
the season. No, I'm not afraid of

Veach Has Rad Ankle
Bob Veach, obtained from the
Yankees last week on waivers. is
complaining of weak ankle and
as soon as the champions got a
lead yesterday he was benched in
favor of McNeely. The Californian
finished the game in the garden.

hitting and any, little extra work
that might come along. Jeanes is

be better served in some other way.

of the colonial council which might

Coolidge to Give
Tool of Railroads
Recess Appointment


WASHINGTON, March 3d. When
President Coolidge re-nominated Thos.
Woodlock, former editor of the Wall
Street Journal, to be a member of the
interstate commerce commission, on
the day senate was to adjourn, the
members who had defeated Warren
for attorney general were angry enuf
to reject him too. However, they de-
;ided on a simple refusal to call to-
gether the committee on interstate
commerce to consider his name. They
knew that Coolidge would then give
him recess appointment but they
would deal with him again next De-
cember.
At the same hour came the news
that the st. Paul railway had been
thown into receivers hands. Wood
lock is looked upon as a mastery in
flater and waterer OF railroad corpo-
ration values. II will be his task to
induce the rest OF the commission to
grant higher freight rates instead Of
lower rates, thereby restoring public
confidence in the claim that the rail
properties are worth between twenty
and thirty billion dollars.

ITALIAN STRIKERS
VICTORY INSPIRES
OTHER WORKERS
Fascist Union Strike Up
sets the Bosses
lspeoIaI . &c oaIIy WORKED

ROME, March 2S.-The labor stu
alton is almost normal again today,
work having been resumed almost
everywhere. 1t is stated that the
strike will cease today in the few
places where the men are still out.
Resumption Of work is complete in
Turin, except at the plant Of the Fiat
Motor company, which declared it
would end its lockout on Monday. At
Trieste and Monfalcone an agreement
has been reached between the masters
and the men which will become effec-
tive next week.
Tho the strike resulted in only a
brief interruption Of work, there is no
doubt that the fascist stirred up a
dangerous hornets nest by calling the
strike in Lombardy. The spell which
the fascist have cast over the work
ers in the last two years was broken
and there is dificulty in restraining
the workers from making demands for
increasing their wages hundredfold.
Other categories Of workers, espe-
cially the textile workers, are now in
agitation declaring that the soaring
living costs render their present wag-
es insufficient. Restiveness of the
laboring masses is everywhere appar-
emit.
Besides, by stirring up rivalry be-
tween the fascist and the socialist
trade unions for favor. the masses are
inclined in each organization to make
excessive demands upon the indus
trialists, lest one group be forestalled
by another.
In addition, the recent labor agita-
ton fostered by the fascist has alien
ated the support Of many Industrial
lists, who have hitherto backed fas-
cism, even contributing party funds,
considering the gift kind Of insur-
ance policy against the possibility Of
strikes.

WASHINGTON, March What
was called sinister consequence has
followed the placing of William Hum
phrey of Seattle on the federal trade
commission, thereby making the ma
1ority of that body a reactionary one.
The commission has announced a
change in its rules. Henceforth it will
investigate complaints of unfair
methods of competition in business

public interest" in such inquiry.
Moreover, the commission has noti-
fed the senate that while it will in.

tempt to crush the associations of
tobacco producers, it will not carry
out the request of the senate--con-
tanned In the same resolution-to in
vestigate the electric power trust and
the propaganda for and against public
ownership of power.

ceeded in killing the federal trade

.LENIN SCHOOL
A LANDMARK
IN our PARTY
F orty Students with
Serious Purpose
Rx MORRIS cHELovskY.

The Communists are a part of the
working class, it's most resolute, most
most sacrificing and farseeing section,
which due to its historical view Of
the march of history is able to lead
all other sections of the proletariat.
To make the above more concrete
and to prove its truth, our party has
made a beginning. The Lenin School
in Chicago win be a historical land
mark in the history of our party and
the Communist movement in the
United States.
A short time ago we would have
considered it a dream, but now it is
an accomplished fact. More than forty
students, every one taking this work
seriously, have left the mine, the fac
tory or shop and set himself to study,
not study for the sake of study, but in
order to better serve the interests OF
our party and the proletariat.
No matter what is being studied,
whether the history of the party, the
labor movement, or economics, they
are all being studied with purpose.
Unlike the students Of the bour-
geoisie who study to attain a higher
and more dominating post in capital
list society and perpetuate that society
our proletarian students are studying
how best to destroy this society.
Our school is not separated from the
struggle, but combines the two, theory
and practice. The students in Chicago
actively participated in the work OF
the party, branch meetings, city
central and the distribution Of leaflets
as well at the Abramovich demonstra-
tions.
The Lenin School is a great step in
the Bolshevization Of our party. The
result will be paid to the party a hun
dred fold when the members of the
class disband, go back to their various
localities with better and clearer
understanding of the class struggle,
and like real Communists will set
themselves the task of proving the
value of the school by a more de-
termined struggle against our op-
pressors.
