The winner OF the long struggle in

hitter fight when it reaches il vote
in the house.
The committee voted, l3 to 8, to re-
port the measure, but party lines

and eight Republicans and five Dem
ocrats supporting it. That many
members want Il quick showdown,
however, was seen in instructions
given Chairman Haugen to ask the
rules committee to set an early date
for d house vote.
Fight Over Equalization Fee
The fight is expected to center
around the equalization fee which
would be levied on basic farm COM
modities to take care Of surpluses.
Among those in favor of the fee are
southern Democrats, but they do not
want it imposed on cotton for two
years, holding the industry could not
stand such levy until that time.
One southern member, Represent
ative Aswell Of Louisiana, ranking
Democrat on the agriculture commit
tee, who voted against reporting the
McNary- Haugen bill. said such a fee
would tax cotton from $40 to $lO.50
bale at the gin and that the board
set up to levy the tax would have
only three members from the cotton
states.
"The cotton growers can draw their
own conclusiOn," he addde.
Representative Fulmcr, Democrat
South Carolina. voted to support the
bill, but in so doing he said he re-
served the right to fight to postpone
invoking the fee against cotton. If
he failed in this direction, he added,
he would vote against the bill on
final passage.
Others; however, praised the basic
principles of the measure as sound.
Chairman Haugen, toe, expressed
confidence in the final outcome. de-

INDIANS WILL
BE.LO0KED! INTO
Resolution Asking Congress
SiOnal Relief Referred TO
Federal Relations

The first investigation launched by
the state house Of representatives
will get under way this afternoon.
The way for it was paved yestcr-
day when J. II. McCay, Sioux county,
presented Il concurrent resolution
s1GiAg congress to grant immediate
relief To Indians on the Standing
Rock reservation, which lies partly in
North Dakota and partly in South
Dakota.
: The resolution declared that hum
dreds Of reservation Indians are in
''actual want, suffering from lack Of
nOurishmcnt and totally destitute Of
food and supplies"
The condition has become SO des-
perate, the resolution stated, that
1.-The more aged Indians. are dying
from want of proper nourishment."
1t rccites that they have been forced
to eat horscmeat although the ,tri-
bal council voted to refuse to do SO.
Worst in Is Years
The resolution further recitcs that
there was an almost total crop failure
on most of the reservation but that
reports have nevertheless been made
to the government that the Indians
are not in want. Little if any food
for stock is available, the resolution
recites, and alleges further that dur
ing the last 25 years the Indians have
never found themselves, i'm SUCH ;des-
perate need; never, during this same
period Of time has there been such
total crop failure and never, dur
ing the last Is years, has there been
SO much actual want, dire need, ter
rifle suffering and slow starvation as
is now existing among these people"
P. R. Trubshaw, Valley City, moved
for passage of the resolution but was
opposed by L. L. Twichcll, majority
floor leader, who demanded that an
investigation be made before the
house committed itself to the pas
sage Of such drastic resolution"
Should Make Sure Of Facts
':These Indians are wards of the
government and we do not want to
pass such resolution charging the
government with not taking proper
care of it's business until we are sure
Of the facts" Twichell said.
McCay said the information recited
in the resolution was given him by a
committee of reservation Indians who
called on him yesterday and by the
committee Of the Business Mems as
sociation Of Standing Rock, which is
composed of Indians.
1t finally was agreed to refer. the
resolution to committee to investi-
gate the situation and make rec
ommendation. The committee on
federal relations, headed by S. W.
Thompson, Devils Lake, drew the as
signment and will conduct hearing
today.
E. d. Mossmann, superintendent of
the reservation. has agreed to be
present. as will Major A. B. Welch,
Mandan, who Will represent the In
dians to whom he is an adopted

the state workmen's compensation
bureau today decided to employ an
uctuary to determine the stability Of
their fund.

Wenzel set forth the fact that he had
rot seen the letter sent to Governor
Sorlie yesterday by the four members
Of the board and requested that 1.-The

state, if they know. why such letter
was not presented to me for sigma
ture." The motion also contained
proviso that employment of an
actuary be left in, the hands of legis-
lative committees "for the reason
that the merits of any possible con-
trowersy can be handled best by hav-
ing the whole issue come up before
the committees that will have charge
Of the bill or bills that will undoubt-
edly cover my suggestions and recon-
mendations." Wenzel also Informed
the other members that he had sent
certain data to an actuary with re-
quest that the actuary give him his
reaction" The motion failed to re-
ceive second.
Not an Official Action

tion Draws RetOrts From
Two High Sources
NO CLASHES REPORTED
Federal Troops Continue
Movements to Points of
Strategic Importance
NO CLASHES REPORTED

Mexico City, Jan. 14-tR)-Dcvel-
opments in the situation between the
United States and Mexico now are
believed to hinge on possible action
by the Washington government.
Among the Possibilities seen here are
the withdrawal Of the American am
bassador and the lifting of the en-
barge on shipment of arms into Mex
leo from the United States.
Secretary Kellogg's declaration re-
Garding communistic activities in
Mexico aimed at the United States
has drawn retorts from two high
sources-Aaron Saenz. the Mexico
general secretary, and Ricardo Trev-
ino, secretary-general Of the regional
confederation Of labor, the dominant
labor group in this country.
The foreign secretary asserted that
Mr.. Kellogg's statement before the
foreign relations committee of the
American senate did not prove the
charge that Mexico was attempting to
Latin America.
Mexico Not Responsible
As for decisions taken by foreign
organizations, nobody could hold
Mexico responsible, he said, but it
was necessary "energetically" to. re-
ject those charges against the Mex
lean government, especially regard
ing it's relations with Russia"
Senor Trevino replied to Secretary
Kellogg in the form of a telegram in
which he asserted that the Mexican
labor movement W.. antag0nistic, not
frienly, to communism.
Federal troops pursuing rebel
groups continue their movcmnts to
points Of strategic, importance, and
it seems established that they have
been able TO suppress the uprisings
of the last, week or two. ..ssss =
Pursuant to it's belief that priests
are melting the Catholics to rebellion
the government has decided to de-
port all priests captured heading
rebels. It is reported that several
! priests, captured in the states OF
Jalisco and Coahuila. are en- route
to Mexico City.
Five Youths Killed
Charges Of anti-Catholic pcrsecu-
tions are made by the newspaper Ex-
celsior, which says it has reliable au.
youths, none more than 20, were shot
and killed at Leon last Monday after
having their tongues cut out, fol
participating in an alleged Catholic
uprising there. Six others, it says
were executed.
Newspaper reports that 10 NOR
rebels have been captured by tn
fcderals and hanged to trees alonl

lack official confirmation, but tn
newspapers say at least 22 rebel
have been found thus hanged.

APPOINTMENT
OF ACTUARYIS
RECOMMENDED
Governor Advises Such Ac.
tiOn in Answer to Letter
From 4 Bureau Directors
(By The Associated Press)

Governor A. G. Sorlie yesterday
suggested to the directors Of the
state workmen's compensation bu-
ican that they employ an actuary t.
fully and clearly" ascertain the con
dition of the fund as to its solvcncy.
The fund is expected to come un-
der fire shortly in a bill to. reduce
the benefits paid from it to injured
persons.
Sorlie's action followed his receipt
of letter from four bureau direc-
tors in which they asked his advice
in view Of the fact that recent oc :
currences have brought into question
the present and future solvency" Of
the fund. The letter was signed by
all of the commissioners except r.
+. Wenzel, the commissioner who is
leading the fight for the. benefit
scale reduction.
Wenzel said last night that he
knew nothing of the letter or that
it had been written.
The letter to the executive pointed
out that the funds which the bureau
may spend for the employment of
an actuary are limited and said that
they are reluctant to authorize the
expenditure Of "a lot Of money" un-
less it is necessary.
SOrlie's reply advised employment
of the actuary and that the work be
done in time to make report to the
present session of the legislature.
