Harrison, resigned except for Secre-
tary of State Daniel Webster, who
stayed to conclude a treaty with
England.

was Calhoun, who sought the preSi-

defects in the financial structure
of the nation.
A resolution urging the limitation
in "some reasonable manner" OF
bootleg loans" in the call money
market was adopted yesterday, but
no suggestion was made as to how
to prevent individuals, corporations,
and institutions from making loans
against stocks and bonds, a pro-
cedure netting to 10 per cent.
MANY corporations have been
supplied with funds for which they
have no use during the major part
of the fiscal year and which they
have utilized by making loans
against tsocks and bonds" said the
resolution, which was adopted I'M
animously. "At the same time we
continued to make loans to Europe
which, followed by exports of gold,
resulted in net loss of $500, 100000
in gold, and lessened to that extent
our surplus reserves"
The resolution added that because
of the unprecedented interest OF the
public in stock investments and
favorable business developments, the
demand for stock exchange loans
was increasing.

such an unpopular stand cost him,
as Jackson mourned later, the NOM
ination of his party.
Van Buren, Is Ruined
Clay and Van Buren, had made a
gentlemen's agreement to ignore an
nexation as an issue in the election
campaign. Both opposed the Texas
treaty, which meant war.
But Van Buren's letter was
dragged out just before the con-
vention and it killed him in the
South, which was rabid for annex
alton because it would strengthen
the slave power.

unanimously nominated by the

err Tyler should be acting President
or what. Tyler sent Congress a
massage signed John. Tyler, PreSi-
dent" and that settled it.
Clay dominated Congress and the
Wings were celebrating by putting
through his new fiscal program.
Tyler vetoed the first Clay bill and
when another had been framed to
suit his wishes, vetoed that. Demo-
cratic members fastened to the
White House to congratulate him
and Tyler opened champagne.

"The injunction in this strike has

ADMITS
DEAL With BIG
ELECTRIC BOSSES
Rules Union with Hand
of Iron

Testifying before the Industrial
Survey Commission, "a West 44th
ST., yesterday afternoon, H. H.
Broach, International vice president
of the Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers, disclosed that he had come
to New York City about year ago
as a response in part to the demands
of the larger employers in the indus
try who sought by unionizing the
trade Ash out the growing COM
petition SUf the smaller non-union con-
tractors.
Broach's testimony before the COM
mission further revealed that the
agreement signed last week by local
8, the reorganized local from which
Broach has cleared the corrupt
O'Harra group, is an agreement
drawn up in the interest of these
larger manufacturers with whom
Broach admitted he was cooperating.
Makes Agreement With Bosses.
"When I saw the signs of a strike
coming last autumn" Broach testi-
fled, II went to the largest contrac-
tors in the trade, not the carpet bag
gers, so to speak, and they agreed
with me as to my plan of reorganiz-
ing the industry" Subsequently such
Reorganization" was carried out.
The union dealings with the union
section of the Electrical Board of
Trade were broken off, and an agree
ment worked out with the Electrical
Association.
This latter group, Broach testified,
perform by far the largest amount of
work in the city and we will not deal
with nor meet in conference with the
representatives of the Electrical
Board of Trade. Broach referred with
special bitterness to Eidlitz, the chair
man of the Board of Governors of
the union section of that board.
Broach showed that Eidlitz in his at
thcks against the union had misrep-
resented facts and had worked hand
Lin hand with the numerous dual
unions which had sprung up in the
trade.

COPS IN CHARGE
AT LODGE HOUSE

At the New York Municipal Lodg-
ing House, 432 E. 25th ST., supposedly
a public refuge, unemployed workers
these cold nights are being admitted
by uniformed police officers in groups
of about 25. After being carefully
scrutinized they are admitted to a
mess hall for Supper"
The capacity of the lobby is about
$50 but only 25 are admitted at once,
while long line of men, women and
children in desperate need of shelter
wait in the street.
Line Is Double.
A long double line of applicants pa
tiently waits till the doors are opened
at $50 in the evening. Then the po-
lice patrol car rolls up. About 10
policemen get out to guard the doors.
Each applicant must pass a gauntlet
of police and petty municipal Off
cials.
Many men coming down the dismal
street to the lodging house upon see
ing the police car turn around and
walk quickly away. They have heard
that only one nights lodging a month
is permitted to those who come from
outside the city limits. Those who
apply for shelter twice in one month
are threatened with prison as
Migrants"
No Talking Allowed.
Absolute silence must be maintained
in the dining room. Superintendent
Edward E. MacMahon or one of his
representatives stands in the door
way to compel observance of this rule.
MacMahon last night on one occasion
hurried in to caution man who had
dared to ask his neighbor for the
bread he had left beside his plate.

SANDING PRAISED
FOR LEADERSHIP
OF NICARACUANS
Vaca Says Diaz Rule is
Imposed On Country

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 6. - The
struggle in Nicaragua is the direct
result of the imposition of the re-
dictionary Diaz government upon the
people of Nicaragua, DR.. T. S. Vaca,
confidential agent of the Nicaraguan
Liberals in the United States, de-
clared to representatives of the press
yesterday.
Fight tor the Last Man.
Denouncing the Intervention of the
United States in the affairs of Mica
ragua, DIR. Vaca stated that he had
learned from questionable sources that
the army of independence under Cen
eraI Sandino is well equipped and
trained and will fight so long as there
is one man left alive against this
unjustified exploitation and conquest
by foreign invader"
DR.. Vaca declared that the Liberal
forces are constantly growing and are
already far superior to those which
took part in the first engagement at
Quilali. General Sandino can depend
upon the support of all Nicaraguans
in the northern and eastern districts
of the country and wherever the in
fluence of the Liberal armies may
spread, he said.
Wall Streets War.
"The present situation in Mica
ragua," DIR. Vaca asserted, "is the di-
rect result of the imposition last May
of the Diaz regime on the Nicaraguan
people, exhausted and bleeding after
a year of constant civil war. 1t is the
direct result of the Vaccinations of
the New York financiers, assisted by
the marines sent by the state depart
ment and the financial support sent
to the bankers agent, Adolfo Diaz.
"There can be no peace or Happiness
for mankind while there exists no JUS
tice but that imposed at the point of
the bayonet. and that is the sort of
justice that Nicaragua is enjoying"
today.
Flags StimsOn.
"When Colonel L. Stimson, without
paying any attention to the most fun
damental principles of equity, decreed
that the honor and prestige of the
United States required unconditional
support of the Diaz government and
declared that the United States for
ces were about to proceed with the
immediate disarming of the victorious
forces of the constitutional govern
ment of DR.. Juan B. Sacasa, he de-
finitely involved the United States in
an unprecedented act against a de-
fenseless nation, whose tyrany will
always have to bear the guilt of
shedding this human blood.

The elections in this local are to be

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 6.-Pres-
ident Calvin Coolidge is charged
with responsibility for the Unit
ed States war against Nicaragu-
an independence by General Au-
gusto C. Sandino, in statement
issued by the rebel leader from
-Nueyo -Segovia, in northern Nicara-
qua, according to reports received
here.
Holding that Adolfo Diaz (main-
tained in the presidency by the United
States) is nothing but lackey for
President Coolidge" Sandino declares
in the proclamation that: "Today,
more that ever, we resent having trai-
tors and invaders of our country come
in search of us. We shall give our
lives if necessary in order that our
people may enjoy true liberty, which
is the right of all men.
"The only person responsible for
all that is occurring now, and that
will occur in the future here in Nicar-
aqua, is President Calvin Coolidge,
because he has obstinately persisted
in sustaining in power his lackey,
