Woods Agent Hunts Trouble.

MANILA, P. l., Aug. 27.-As Col.
George Langhorne of Governor Cen
eral Woods stan accompanies Col.
Carmi Thompson, emissary of Coo
lidge on his Investigation tour" of
the Philippine Islands, Danghorne
searches everywhere to rake up some
thing to show that the Filipinos are
mot prepared" for independence.
In the province of Agusan in north
ern Mindanao, where for centuries
the more civilized Visayans have been
absorbing and mixing with the print
tive tribe OF Manobos, the provincial
laws of 1919 provided for dealing with
remnants of the Manobo tribe who
are alleged to roam about living by
petty thievery.
What About U. S. Vaorants7
When Col Thompson's party arriv-
ed at the city of Butuan, General
Woods agent, Col. Langhorne, hunt
ed up something TO show why the
Filipinos should not rule themselves.
He found several Manobo tribesmen
in jail for vagrancy. Why this should
have been a mark OF backward peo-
pie is hard to understand, since every
city in the United States never lacks
a jail full of Migrants" But to Col.
Langhorne 1t was symbol OF ire
preston OF the Manobos by the Wis
ayan Filipinos."
Assuming an air OF righteous wrath,
Langhorne wired to General Wood for
pardons to be granted to the Cypress
ed Manobos.

FINDS
MINDANAO SOLID
FOR LIBERATION
Agent of Wood Hunts
for Opposition
BY HARRY CANNES,
"a. A. A. |. L. Press Service. }


In the very heart of the Mindanao
territory, which It is intended by the
Bacon bill plans to segregate under
United States domination is where
Col. CarmA A. Thompson meets with
the most fervid demands for indepen-
dence.
While interviewing various people
from every strata of the population in
Cagayan, in the Moro country, Thomp-
son was presented with the emphatic
protests against the Bacon bill from
such leading cities in Mindanao as
Butuan, Cabadbaran and Cagayan.
These protests declared that If the
Bacon bill were passed 1t would de-
stroy the economic future of the Phil
ippines.
MIndanao For independence.
To the chagrin and surprise Of the
Thompson mission in Mtndanao, Ce-
bu, Bohol and adjacent territory
where he least expected independence
demands to disturb his vacation, he
met an organized movement dnsistent
on dts demand for immediate com
plete, and absolute independence from
the United States.
In Cebu and Dumaguete he was
overwhelmed by the mass character
Of the independence movement. Not
only did he meet with expression for
freedom on behalf of the politicians
but the workers and peasants every
where pushed the slogan.
Want II Right Away.
1.-THE longing for independence is
the most distinct impression received
by Col. Thompson and his party" said
Parke Brown in a cable to the Tri-
bune Press Service from Dumaguete,
within the very territory so carefully
outlined by Bacon for permanent re-
tention by the American rubber
trusts.
No matter where the Thompson
mission went it was greeted with the
cry Of Immediate Independence"
Youth Against Imperialism.
Especially in evidence in Cebu and
Bohol were the Filipino Independence
Youth groups which are among the
most active propagandists and sup
porters of the break from United
Estates Imperialism. Everywhere
Thompson found the Filipino you'll
fired with desire to break from the
oppressive U. S. rule typifed by Gov
ernor General Wood.
Referring to the youth indepen
dence movement one capitalist CORE
spondent said: This change (th'
demand of Filipinos in Moroland 70
independence may be due to the rap
i'd development Of the independence
movement among the youth. 1t il

FIGHT ON ROYALTY
WILL SOON SHIFT
Committee Hearings on Dill
Amendment Expected to
End This Week.

BY the end of the week. the annua
controversy between broadcasterS anS
music publishers will have finished Its
day in court and viii revert to private
conferences, at which the two inter
eStS will endeaVOr to reach an agree
ment as to how much III dollars ahc
cents musical compositions are worth
TO the broadcaSterS.
Interest in the hearings on the pro
posed Dill amendment to the copy
right act, which would authorize the
Government to fix fees for radioed
music. has Jagged noticeably since the
resumption of the committee sessions
Monday.
Attendance at the hearings has de.
cGned appreciably. On Tuesday it ap'
peared that only one member of the
committee would be able to last out
the hearings namely, Representative
Sol Bloom of New York. who is one of
the most determined of the opponents
TO revision of the copyright laws.
The arguments advanced by the
music publishers this week were prac-
tically identical with those presented
in the past, differing only in that there
was a noticeably more intense feeling
Of animosity on the part of the repre-
sentatives of the American Society of
Composers. Authors and Publishers.
Control Is Charged.
Charges that the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Co. and its
allied stations control the National
Association of Broadcasters and
mask their operations" behind that
organization. were made by Nathan
Burkan, general counsel of the
society, at Tuesdays session. Mr..
Burkan also stated that the total
revenue received by the society for
the past year amounted to $133,O00
as compared with the gross business
of almost $500 900 900 done by the
radio manufacturers of the United
States.
This $4,000 is all that the great
broadcasting stations of the country
paid to the composers of all music
that was broadcast during 1925" Mr.
Burkan declared.
In building up his argument that
the broaS"aSters were not operating
for charity, Mr.. Burkan cited state.

director of broadcasting for the Am
erican Telephone and Telegraph Co.
and David Sarnoff. vice president and
general manager of the Radio Cor
poration of America, in which both
told another Congressional committee
that they We're broadcasting for what
they could get out of it,.
The Rurkan testimony is expected
TO end the public hearings at this
session of Congress, and from all in.
dications the Dill measure will be
found still in committee when the two
houses adjourn for the Summer.
In such an event, the publishers
would consider themselves victors. and
1t is believed would then reopen de.
liberations with the broadcasters in
an effort to determine Il fair rate of
payment for society music until
Congress takes some action.
