FARM RELIEF BILL
 AGAIN IN SIGHT
Table Is Being Cleared for Early
 Congressional Action

Washington. Feb. 3 R-Spurred on by the achievements of three- hour night session and conferences that saw efforts crystallizing for more actions and less talk about ma jor legislation and passage of S4 minor bills on the glutted calendar. the senate moved closer to a show down today on two long pending controversial questions-farm relief and branch banking.
 Vice President Dawes held con- ference of republicans and demo- crats in his office last night in an effort to break the deadlock of legislative program, and an agree ment was reached calling for a re- quest today for an unanimous con- sent agreement to take up immedl- ately the McNary- -Haugen farm equalization fee bill and to vote on it not later than p. m. Monday. The McFadden branch banking measure then would be brought up under plan calling for a vote by p. m. Wednesday

BARNARD CHOSEN
PRESIDENT OF
B ALL LEAGUE
BY CLARK E. KELSEY
United Press Staff CorreSnonden

CHICAGO, NOV. 2.-S. Barnard,
president of the Cleveland Indians,
today was elected president of the
American League, succeeding Byron
Bancroft Johnson.
Directors of the league met here
in special session to elect Barnard.
William Harridge, for years secrc-
tary to johnson was elected secre-
tarv of the league.
Today's session of the league pres
idents was in marked contrast to
most of their meetings in recent
years, which have been character
ized by bitter disputes between
Johnson and other officials. Today
it was evident that the utmost har-
mony existed. Proceedings were
carried out with great formality.
The election session was executive
and lasted for more than two hours.
After it was over Harridge an
nounccd the elections to waiting
newspapermen. He said salary fig
ures would not be announced. 1t
had been widely reported that Bar
nard was to receive $4,000 a year.

HEARING ON RATE
CUT POS STP0NED
UNTIL SPRING

It will probably be next Febr17
ary or March before any rate mat
ters are handled by the California
Railroad Commission in the Southern
Sierras Power ease, according to a
letter received by Robert Hays, of
Holtvillc from the commission s
secretary. Secretary Mathewson
advised that at the present time the
matters of valuation of the Southern
Sicrras property, and that of its as-
sociated companies, as well as the
establishment of a rate base upon
which to predicate power charges,
have the attention of the railroad
commission, and that body is giving
to the case as much time as can now
be granted.
1t had been hoped by electric
consumers of Imperial Valley that
the commission, of its own motion,
without awaiting the result of APP
praisals and rcValuation of the
Southern Si"rras system, might or
der Il substantial reduction in rates
for electrical energy, Hays states.
Figures compiled to show operations
of the power company for the year
1926 disclosed very high net re-
turn, and it was thought that ON
this showing the commission might
order q reduction in Imperial coun
ty rates, without awaiting the out
come of the pending rcvaMation ap-
plication. 1t is believed that the
year 1927 will also show a net re
tura to the company larger than
that generally earned by the power
companies in California. The South
crn Sierras Power Company, how
ever, has an application pending for
increased rates in a portion of It's
territory, particularly in lmperial
Valley. Such an increase is being
vigorously opposed by muicipal-
ties, civic bodies and individual
consumers, and, according to Hays
reductions in rates will be sought for
valley consumers when valuation of
the company physical properties
is completed.
In the meantime, Imperial Irriga-
tion District and the City of Braw-
ley plan power projects of their
own, in the belief that power can be
produced and distributed by them
much cheaper than the present exist
ing southern Sicrras rates. Braw-
Icy is already generating power,
and plans call for a large increase
il this plant S capacity. The dis
trict is proceeding with plans for
development of electrical energy
from several advantagcously situat-
ed water drops.

duction in rail rates was discussed
by the house ways and means com
mittee today when DR.. C. S. Duncan,

corporations paid only "a cents il

OPPONENTS OF
FARM RELIEF
ARE ATTACKED
Agricultural Convention
Demands Enactmbent of
Favorable Laws.
By FOSTER EATON
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 2.-In a sweep
ing Indictment of the foes of farm
relief, 300 agricultural leaders from
20 mid west and southern states
unanimously adopted a resolution in
conference here today demanding
"re-enactment of legislation effect
lively Incorporating the principles Of
the McNaryIiaugen bill.'
An appeal was issued 'to the
great agricultural sections Of the
r;,tiou' to throw their voting sup
port to candidates favorable to such
relief in the approaching presidcn-
tial election, regardless of previous
party alliance. No specific mention
of any particular candidate was
made, however.
Members of both the Democratic
and Republican parties antagonistic
to the McNary-llaugcn bill were
scored for their alleged failure to
carry out platform promises, while
President Coolidge, characterized as
barren of constructive proposals, -
was scored for 'nullifying by ve-
to the act of congress for agricul-
ture.'
Persons singled out for attack in
cluded in addition to the President
Andrew w. Mellon, secretary of the
treasury; United States Senators
Borah, Idaho; Reed, Missouri; Fess,
Ohio, and Bruce, Maryland, and
Julius Barnes, head' of the United
States Chamber of Commerce.
Chamber Denounced
Organizations attacked for their
alleged opposition included the Unit
ed States Chamber of Commerce,
cited as a conspicuous example of
past unfair pol,cy;' farm crop
dealers and SPECTATORS; "particu-
larly the grain and cotton eXchang-
es' and :certain industrial groups
in the east who want cheap food
stuffs regardless OF what happens
to the producers.
Leaders of the labor movement in
America were criticized for their
alleged disregard of the cityward
trend of labor, characterized as de-
sired by ''ccrtain large employers
rs it promises soon to provide two
bidders for every job, enabling
employers to name their own wage
scalcs.'

charges of insubordination as a
result of his "favoring pro-
British text books.'
The mayors firing at the Ii
brary trustees came in the form
of a flat opportunity to resign
if "you don't like the campaign
to purge the library of object
ionable books.'
This matter of pro-British
books, Thompson said to the
trustees, "was an issue in the
last election. The people spoke
when they elected me and if the
library board is not in accord
ance with the will of the people,
it is presumptuous for them to
retain their jobs
Members of the library board
refused to comment on the state
ment, intimatipg that their at
titude is that a change ef city
administration "does not neces-
sarily mean a change of library
books.'
