While Vice President Dawes

unmanageable by the enlistment Of

tervenes.
The Vice President meanwhile
served as peacemaker when South.
ern Senators threatened to desert
the bloc unless a provision were
placed In the bill deferring collection
Of the equalization fee on cotton for
the next two years.
Dawes succeeded In getting com.
promise agreement, by which the
farm bloc leaders win support the
deferment provision and the Sou.ll-
erners will stand by the bill.
The peace conferences were held
In Dawes private office.
This action of Dawes threw him
into direct conflict with President
Coolidge. who opposed the bill year
ago and who has been reported as
ready to veto It this year If Congress
enacts 1t.
The farm bloc leaders, however,
predicted the President would sign
the bill.
Senator Moses HN Of New Hamp-
shire sponsored one amendment,
including hay. apples. potatoes and
all dairy products within the pro
visions Of the bill.
Senator Shortridge (2l Of Call.
fornia threatened to sponsor an.
other amendment, placing arti.
chokes, onions and beans within
the bill. Both win be rejected.
In the House, the farm bloc con-
tinued to debate the same measures.

ing q final decision by the Senate.
IL the bill does pass the Senate.
under the present plan, It will be
substituted for the House measure
and a final vote taken by Monday
or Tuesday. This program would

whose armless and headless body

The body had been cut in two

body placed in trunk or box, and
then thrown in the river. The

When discovered, the body had a

said by authorities to be lime.
Indications were that the body

RESPECT FOR LAW

A private detective engaged to shadow jurors

financial condition of jurors" has been found.
When government detectives got him, he had
enlisted in the marines, and would soon have been
on his way to Haiti.
One juror in this case, involving a rich man and
former Cabinet officer accused of bribery, said
according to government testimony, that he ex-
pected, when the case was over, to have an auto

.PROGRESSIVES TAKE STEPS
FOR RAILROAD OWNERSHIP

Announcement that a railroa bill
will be in troduced in Congress this
winter by the western progressive Re-
publican group led by Sen. Norris,
was made Nov. 2 in the name of the
group by Sen. Brookhart of Iowa.
This railroad bill is to provide con-
demnation of the stocks and bonds of
the railroads as a means of immedi-
ately consolidating them in the inter-
est of lower valuation and lower
charges to the public, and with a pro-
vision that Congress may purchase
the railroad system for the nation by
buying the consolidated stock at par.
He submitted details of excessive
costs of private operation-in finan-
cling, in inside profits on supply con-
tracts, in return on the bonded por-
ton of the capital, in duplication and
competitive waste, and in inflated
valuation due to unearned increment
IN property values. He said the Can
adian national railways escape most
OF these burdens, and hence can mar
ket Canadian wheat more cheaply.
Canadian farmers this year got 15c a
bushel more for their wheat than did
American farmers at a like distance
from terminal markets.

WORTHY CHARITY

A woman with heart-and an idea went to
work in New York a few years ago.
Her heart-was that understanding of the un-
fair handicap placed upon mothers and children,
bereft Of their breadwinner
The idea was to get relief-help-keep mother
and children together-and not permit doors Of
institutions to open for them
She was successful-finally getting a Child We'll
fare law through-and meager appropriation of
$100,000-but start
100000.
The woman was Sophie Irene Loeb-and she is
still on the job. She is now carrying the idea on
into a national effort. AS president of the Child
Welfare Committee of America, she is preparing
to launch campaign for $1OOO,OOO during 1928.
The money will be used to speed the work of the
National Committee to administer to the needs of
widowed mothers and their children.

SUCH REASONING

senator Hiram johnson appealed to the con-
ventiOn of union labor in Los Angeles fortnight
or so ago, to work for the Boulder Dam project,
harnessing the Colorado River, for power, irriga-
ton and water supply. He told the union men,
public utilities companies say they have seven
billion dollars of investment, and declare that our
Government shall not be permitted to build a gen.
Grating dam at Boulder Canyon. If it takes twen-
ty years well teach the public utilities that there
is something bigger than seven billions of public
utilities dollars, and that is the Government of
the United States"
Formerly labor, even in America would have
opposed power development by Government lest
1t take bread from mouths of working men .
American labor is too intelligent for that now.
