SCOTCH LABORlTES
WOULD SNUB KING
Join Socialists in Refusing to At
tend Luncheon When Monarch
Visits Glasgow.

BY the Associated Press.
GLASGOW, Scotland, April 16.-
The Socialist councillors OF Glasgow
steadfastly refuse to eat with the
King. And now the labor councillors
holding official positions also have de.
cided to join the Socialists and not
break bread with King George when
he comes here July IL to dedicate the
Clyde Bridge, although 1t was built
by trade-unionists.
The Socialist members of the Town
Council object to the elaborate cere-
monies connected with the Kings
visit owing to the expenditure OF.
public money for what they consider
to be useless purposes. A luncheon
which the King will attend is to be
held after the inauguration of the
bridge. The Socialists voted. 25 to IL,
not to participate in any function as
sociated with the royal visit.
Their action recalls similar Incl
dent few years ago, when David
Kirkwood, John Wheatley, Thomas
Kerr and Baille Dolan declined spe-
cial invitations to meet the Prince of
Wales at dinner at Blythewood
House. Opposition of this nature also
developed on the occasion of visits of
Princess Mary and the Duke of York

CARL SOUNDED
ON TRAFFIC POST
Commissioners Ask Ruling on
Eligibility of Jervey to
Succeed EIdridge.

The District Commissioners yester-
day formally sought an opinion from
Controller General McCarl as to the
legality of appointing retired Army
officer as traffic director, and whether
such an officer. if appointed, could con.
tinue to draw his retirement pay from
the Army.
Plans have been made by the Com
missioners to name Brig. Gen. Henry
Jeryey, retired Army engineer. as sue
cessor to NJ. O. Eldridge, who was de-
NOTED from traffic director to assistant
director as result of the irregulari-
ties in the traffic department in con-
nection with the purchase of auto
matte traffic signals from the Grouse
Kinds Co. of Syracuse.
Won't Sacrifice Pay.
Gen Jervey, it is understood, will
not take the post If it will mean the
sacrifice of his retirement pay. There
also are several statutes concerning
the service of retired Army men in
compensate positions which the Com
missioners fear might preclude the
appointment of Gen. Jervey.
About 10 days ago Commissioners
Dougherty and Taliaferro, while in
conference with MIR. McCarI ABOUT an
other matter. requested him in an in
formal way to pass an opinion upon
the legality of appointing a retired
Army officer as traffic director.
Anxious for Jervey.
The controller general has not yet
answered the Commissioners. SO they
decided to put the question to him in a
formal manner.
The Commissioners, it is known, are
particularly anxious to give the posi-
ton to Gen. Jervey, because he has the
qualities which they most desire in a
traffic director.
Besides his long engineering expert
ence in the Army, Gen. Jervey is con.
sidered an expert in traffic matters as
a result of having charge of the
transportation problems of the Ameri-
can Expeditionary Forces during the
war,

FARM LOAN BOARD
CHANGE PROPOSED
President Considers Naming
Eugene Meyer, but Farm
ers Protest.
BIZ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Proposed reorganization OF the
Federal Farm Loan Board Is
beset with troubles for President
Coolidge, who is observing sub-sur.
face row between the Treasury and
the Farm Board.
AS step in strengthening the ad-
ministrations agriculture program,
Mr.. Coolidge has been considering re.
organization of the board, and the
appointment of Eugene Meyer, chair
main of the War Finance Corporation,
as a member OF the board has been
suggested to him in an effort to un-
ravel snarled conditions which have
been pictured to the White House.
Farmers Protests Made.
This move has brought some pro-
tests from the farm section, whose
spolSesmen have complained to the
President that Mr.. Meyer is repre-
sentative of the banking interests and
none too friendly to the farmers
problemS.
This same group also is given sup
port to the Farm Board bloc which
has been fighting efforts of Secretary
Mellon to bring the farm loan system
under closer control of the Treasury.
Some Southern members of the
House also are understood to have
gone to the President to fight the
Treasury's program.
However, Mr. Mellon Is insistent
that the financing of the farm loan
system be subjected to closer scrutiny.
1t is said that he does not exactly
desire any power over the policies
of the board, but is concerned over
the financing methods of the system,
which he believes should be subjected
to the same auditing as national
banks
One Vacancy ON Board.
One vacancy exists on the board as
a result of the recent resignation Of
Elmer Landes of Ohio, and the
White House understands that an
other vacancy will occur soon through
the retirement of Robert Cooper of
South Carolina, who, like Mr.. Landes.
is considering returning to business.
While the President has had Mr..
Meyer in mind for one Of these posts,
he also is considering his colleague
on the'War Finance Corporation, Floyd
Harrison.
