Canadian Border Overtime

Fight Won by U. S.

connection with the unloading, re-

Suit was brought by the Mime
apolis. st. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie
Railway Co, the New York Central
Railroad Co, the Michigan Central
hallway Co: and other railroads,
which contended that the act Of Feb
ruary l3, 1911, providing collection of
overtime compensation applied only to
vessels arriving at United States ports
from Canada and did not have appli-
cation TO railroads running through
trains across the border The Court
OF Appeals in an opinion of January
II, 1923, approved this claim and sus
talned an injunction then pending
against Secretary Mellon.
The department then had recourse
September 21. 1922, and renewed its
efforts to make the railroads pay for
night inspection. The compa MES filed
a supplemental petition, and were
again awarded an injunction by the
District Supreme Court, from which
Secretary Mellon again appealed

Possibility of Producing
Aluminium and Fertilizer at

Government scientists have begun
series Of experiments designed To
show whether both aluminium and fer
tilizer can be produced In quantity
under q. new process at the Govern
ment's plant at Muscle Shoals.
Thus far the inquiry has not reached
a decisive stage. Some Of the Sclen'
tific men concerned in the experiments
are optimistic over the possibilities
but others are skeptical in view OF
tho intricate technical obstacles in

The new process was devised by
DR.. F. G. Cottrell of the Fixed Nitro
gen Research Laboratory of the De-
partment of Agriculture. 1t grew out
Of research work in which 1t was dem
onstrated to DIR. CottrelIS satisfaction
that through special treatment or an
iron aluminium alloy it Is economically
feasible to produce pure aluminium
with a by-product of ammonia, which
IS the base of most nitrogen fertilizers
To make operation of this process
a success at Muscle Shoals, however
1t first would be necessary to have ac'
cesstble there great quantities OF Iron
aluminium alloy for treatment under
the Cottrell process. The present
phase Of the experiments hinges or

an alloy from the deposits Of bauxite
which exist in Alabama and neighbor

Muscle Shoals plant.
The aid of the Bureau of Mines was
enlisted some time ago, and small
scale experiments have been conduct
ed by the bureau in cooperation with
the Vanadium Corporation Of Amer
lea. The result has been inconclusive
although the expert in charge has re
ported that he has reason to believe
the desired end can be accomplished
when a carload of bauxite from the
Southern fields becomes available fol

NEW FARM RELIEF PLAN
LAID BEFORE COOLIDGE
Chicagoan Proposes Establishment
of Grain Warehouses at
Terminal Points

BY the Associated Press
Another farm relief plan proposing
construction of Government grain
warehouses and establishment Of Fed
eral standards of grain was outlined
today 10 President Coolidge by Edwin
w. Sims, former Federal district at
torney at Chicago, who also is a
farmer.
Mr.. Sims advocated establishment
of large warehouses at rail and water
terminals and smaller ones in grain
producing territory. He also would
provide for impartial inspection of
grain at warehouses.
The plan. Mr.. Coolidge was told,
would provide facilities for grain
storage and the intelligent production
OF grain would do for the United
States what the regulation of rubber
has done for Great Britain, coffee for
Brazil and sisal for Mexico.

GASQUE BILL TOPIC
FORSCHOOL BOARD
Measure to Be Discussed To.
morrow Evening at Round
Table Conference.

Members of the Board of Education
today are being invited by Ernest
Greenwood, acting president, to gather
at the Franklin School tomorrow
night for the purpose of conducting
a round-table discussion of the
Gasque bill now pending in Congress,
which provides for an elective Board
of Education.
The invitation is in accordance with
a decision reached at the regular
meeting of the board on January g.
when it was voted to have the board
members resolve themselves into a
committee of the whole at some fu-
ture date to determine whether they
should support the Gasque bill, oppose
it or maintain a passive attitude con
cerning 1t.
Acting President Greenwood ex-
planned that he is leaving the city to-
day for Richmond, but expects to be
present at tomorrow nights meeting
Regarded as Delicate Situation.
Some of the board members have
voiced the view that they are dealing
with a delicate situation" when they
attempt to place themselves on record
concerning the Gasque bill. on the
other hand others take the view that
the manner in which the board mem
bers are appointed is a matter of CON
Germ in the proper administration of
the schools, and on this basis they
should feel free to sCrutinize the pro
posed Legislation very closely and
give their opinions on 1t very frankly.
Each member of the board was
given a copy of the Gasque bill at the
meeting of January for their study
with tomorrow nights meeting in
view.
Likely to Take Definite Stand.
1t is regarded probable that not
only will the board members decide
what course to pursue regarding the
Gasque bill, but they will also decide
whether or not they will make their
appearance officially at the subcom-
mittee hearings. which will be re-
sumed in the caucus room OF the
House Office Building Thursday night.
DR. Frank w. Ballou. superintend-
ent, said today he had received no
invitation as yet to testify before the
subcommittee. He also stated that
his office had not been officially ad'
vised that Representative Mary I.
Norton of New Jersey. member of the
subcommittee, would this week make
tour of the schools nor had she
given school officials at the Franklin
Building an opportunity TO aid her III
