BELIEVES TARIFF
BODY IMPROVING
Washington's View of Ap-
pointment of Dixon, Indiana.
BY Roscoe b. Fleming

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Tariff
commission affairs are improving.
That is Washington's view of
President Coolidge's appointment of
former Representative Lincoln Dix
on of Indiana as a member.
Both Presidents Harding and
Coolidge have been charged with
packing" the bipartisan commits
sion with high tariff advocates.
Dixon was recommended by the
Democratic members Of the House
Ways and Means Committee. He
was a member for fourteen years
and during that time was stu
dent of the tariff, taking the tradi-
tional Democratic viewpoint, it is
said.
Dixon displaced Commissioner
Classic, appointed as a Democrat,
whose insistence on sitting in the
sugar tariff case of 1924 despite a
family interest in sugar caused con-
gressional censure.
1t is expected Dixon may testify
before the Senate committee investi-
eating the tariff commission. For
a week it has been hearing a state
ment from former Commissioner
Burgess, described by critics as a
former lobbyist. He told the com.
mittee these charges grew out of
personal differences in the commits
sion.

STREET CAR MEN
+. ASK WAGE BOOST,
RE|NSTATEMENTS
Changes in Future Requests
for Pay Adjustments Also
Outlined in Petition.

X Petition of three employees of the
. Indianapolis Street Railway Com
< pany asking for an increase in wages
(, changes in the procedure of future
! requests for wage adjustments and
reinstatement of employees who went
on strike last July 4, was being con-
sidered today by Superintendent
!. James P. Tretton.
Tretton, indicated there probably
will not be immediate action on the
matter, and officials declared the
company was not in a financial po-
/, sition to pay the increase.
i President to Be Consulted
z. A wage scale of so cents an hour
for those employed less than six
months; GO cents for service from
six months to a year, and 65 cents
for those with the company more
than a year, was requested.
The present scale is 81 to AZ cents
over five-year period.
According to Tretton, the matter
will be taken up with President Rob-
ert l. Todd. Tretton said he thinks
the men were survivors Of the
strike last year and are attempting
to revive the union.
Todd said he had no official word
of this wage increase petition, but
had heard of 1t indirectly. Todd
voiced Tretton's opinion of the situa-
ton and declared the superintendent
will consider the matter.
Within Rights, Claimed
The men who presented the petit
ton are: James f. Green, 149 w.
Pratt ST.; Sylvester Spencer, 52S
Chase St., and Ralph Beach, 945 King
Ave.
In addition to the regular wage
increase asked, operators of lone
man" cars would receive cents an
hour more under the petition. A
minimum monthly wage Of 500 is
asked.
The men claim, that under the
1914 wage agreement, they have the
right to appeal the petition to Todd
within two weeks and il this fails
have recourse in a hearing before
the public service commission.

WOODS DEFEAT
May SET ASIDE
REGIONAL THEORY
Likely to Affect Interstate
Commerce Commission
Membership.
Times WGskinqtoR Bureau.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Regional
representation on the Interstate
Commerce Commission probably was
dealt a death blow by the Senate
when it rejected the nomination of
Cyrus E. Woods of Pennsylvania for
membership.
The issue will soon be fought all
over again, however, when the
senate considers the bill of
Senator Smith. South Carolina, in
creasing the commission from eleven
to thirteen members and specifying,
in order that various regions may
have representation, appointments
shall hereafter be made as follows:
New England, one member; Middle
Atlantic, two members; lake States.
including Michigan, Indiana, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, North Dakot South Dakota,
Kansas and Nebraska, three mem
bers; south Atlantic, including West
Virginia and Kentucky, States which
fought the Woods nomination as
sectional, two members; gulf States.
two members; mountain States, two
members; Pacific coast States, one
member.
Residence of present commission
members follows: Esch, chairman:
Meyer, Wisconsin,; Hail, Colorado;
Aitchison, Oregon; Campbell, Wash
ington (State); Lewis, indiana: Cox.
New Jersey; McNamamy, Washing
ton, d. c.; Woodlock, New York {.
Taylor, Alabama.
During the fight against Woods
his chief opponents successfully in
sisted that no resident Of either
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Vir-
GINA, Kentucky, Tennessee or Ohio.
States involved in the lakes cargo
coal freight rate controversy, should
ever have representation on the
commission. Senators from these
States, since the Woods rejection, re.
iterate their opposition to the APP
pointment of any other Pennsyl-
vanian or Ohioan as a substitute for
Woods.
The President has not indicated
whether he viii accept ihe challenge.
Involved also with the sectional
clash is the fight against union labor.
Southern fields. mostly nonunion, do
not want an Ohioan or Pennsyl-
vanian appointed, because these
States are unionized. The American
Federation of Labor and allied or
CARNATIONS threw their support to
Woods.
A report urging the Smith meas
ure declares "the very structure of
our Government is based upon local
self-government and representation
in the general government"

JUST SAW WOOD

NO WAR, ADVICE
National Patriotic Council
Fears for Worry 10 State
Department.
Times Wgs4inqton Bareda.

L0<S N6W OFk Avenue
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Have
you been deceived by "insidious pa
cifist propaganda" to the extent of
registering a protest against war?
If so, you have offended the board
of officers of the National Patriotic
Council, which requests you to stay
in your little woodshed and say
nothing and saw wood"
Otherwise you may worry the
State Department" and neglect to
keep your gun handy and your
powder dry" which is the duty of all
good citizens.
The phrases quoted are from what
Washington correspondents call a
handout-that is, mimeographed
story sent into the newspaper offices
all ready for use. This one was
broadcast by the board of officers
Of the National Patriotic Council.
And what, it may be asked, is this
council and who are the members of
the board Of officers?
Frankly, that's something of a
mystery. Mrs. Newport Noble
Potts, residing in a fashionable Sec
ton of Washington, admits that she
is the president, but beyond that
she refuses to go.
Asked today for the names of the
board of officers, she said: "Our
work is very constructive. We
don't come out in public"
Hidden behind her skirts, Mrs.
Potts says there is an important
group of representatives of military,
patriotic, civic and religious organi-
cations who participate in the de.
alterations of the body, but she
won't tell who they are.
Their work is too cor structive,
she suggested, to stand the wither
ing light of publicity.
It's slightly confusing. You are
asked to treasure in your mind an
abiding faith in representative
governHent, at the same time
agreeing to "say nothing" about
what government should do. Other
wise you might interfere when a
government program calls for
again quoting-"the presence of an
American gunboat off the coast of
a little country of South or Central
America and the landing of a few
snappy marines" Such interference.
the council thinks, might worry
