HOST AT DINNER
Expect Democrats to Go
Strong for Prohibition.

F. Scott Mcbride, general super
intendent of the Anti-Saloon
League, outlined what the league
expects the Democrats to do in ad-
dressing a dry dinner to which bust
ness men and manufacturers were
invited at the Roberts Park Meth
odiSt Church, Tuesday night.
If the Democrats adopt a dry
plank and choose dry candidate,
the league will be nonpartisan in
the campaign, Mcbride declared.
Republicans adopted strong prohi-
bition plank at Kansas City.
Mcbride condemned AL Smith and
praised Senator Arthur R. Robinson,
Col. Patrick H. Callahan, promi-
nent Catholic laymen and ardent

FOREIGN PLANKS
/ BEING FRAMED
BY DEMOCRATS
Expect Platform to Attack
I intervention in Haiti
h and Nicaragua.
BY MAURITZ A. HALLGREN
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June 20.-Inter-
vertion in Latin American coun-
trie will be denounced, a re-
definition of the Monroe Doctrine
will be promised, and closer CO.
operation with the League of Ma
tions will be urged in the platform
which the Democrats are expected
to adopt at their national con-
vention in Houston next week, the
United Press was informed today.
Foremost of the foreign relations
planks, according to this informa-
ton, will be one promising that the
Monroe Doctrine will be revamped,
restoring it to the form and import
President Monroe gave it.
Favor World Court
The rejuvenated doctrine would
affirm anew the determination of
the United States to prevent
European countries from acquiring
territory in South America, but at
the same time make it clear that
the doctrine will not be used as a
cloak for encroachments by the
United States on South American
sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Ways and means of increasing
American cooperation with the
league will be discussed in another
plank, although the platform will
probably be silent on the question
of American membership in the
Geneva body. Democrats also will
urge that steps be taken for the
United States to join the world
court on an acceptable basis.
Rap Naval Armaments
Further reduction of naval ar
maments will be advocated, it was
! declared, although the platform will
advise against holding another
! naval conference until adequate
. diplomatic preparations can be
made.
Under Democratic leadership, the
platform probably will say, the
United States will refrain from in
tervening in the internal affairs o.
Latin American countries.
Withdrawal of the marines from
Nicaragua Immediately after {
stable government has been set VI
will be promised in another plank
Similarly, the platform will ad-
Vocate the withdrawal of marines
from Haiti as soon as a popularly
elected government is established.

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Feb. R-Demand for
immediate delivery corn in Chicago
today proved to be the largest met
with in a long while, and corn export
business was at the highest yet this
season. AS much as TIC bushel over
the price of Chicago May delivery was
paid for export corn at the Gulf OF
Mexico. Closing quotations on corn
were unsettled 2s@%c net higher,
wheat * a &c up, oats at 1s@Ac to
sc advance and provisions unchanged
to rise of zoe.
Corn ranged higher from the very
outset of trading but offerings in
creased on the advances and the top
quotations reached were not held. In
addition to excellence of cash demand,
corn belt weather was distinctly un-
favorable for the crop movement and
the trading basis at Kansas City was
1ac higher with no purchases reported
to come here from the southwest.
Meanwhile, export business in all pos
itions was estimated at 250,000 bushels,
including corn for export disposed OF
here to eastern handlers.
Estimates were current that Europe
must buy at least 10000
of United States corn between now
and the last of June. Oats was
firmer, sympathizing with corn.
Wheat developed firmness partly ow-
ing to corn strength and partly as a
result of an unexpected uptUrn in
Liverpool quotations. Besides, there
was a forecast of colder weather south
west and drought reports persisted
from west Texas.
Provisions reflected an advance in
hog values and there was a letup in
the aggressive selling which of late
has burdened the market.

Filing of criminal contempt charges.
H. NJ. Holden, United States district
attorney said, would depend upon an
investigation of the facts and the law"
Judge Hutcheson declared in his
opinion that the rail executives had
exhibited "a strong and settled pur-
pose" to defy both the clause of the
railway labor act providing for sub
mission of labor disputes to board
of mediation and the injunction he
issued last August against interfering
with the Brotherhood Of Railway
Clerks
In fostering the Association of Cleri-
cal Employees Judge Hutcheson said,
the company had sought to crush "any
effort on the part of other employees
TO secure other representation if they
so desired"
The railroads scheme, he declared,
was to arrange matters so that it
would be in a position of surely hav-
ing vote on both sides of the table,
its own side and that Of it's employees.
The case was instituted in June,
1927 at the instigation of r. w. Harper
OF san Antonio, chairman of what
corresponds to grievance committee
of the brotherhood Of railway clerks.
He charged, among other things, that
the railroad was using its railroad
mail facilities to promote the COM
pany union, among its $500 clerks and
like, employees, had recalled his rail-
road passes and abrogated his senior
ity as Southern Pacific employe. A
dispute over the brotherhood's appli-
cation for wage increase preceded
the break.
The railroad officials attempted to
show that a majority of the employees
favored the company union and a poll
was taken Of employees The brother
hood countered with an allegation
that the poll contained the names OF
many unauthorized members and had
failed to show company union ma
jority.

force of $4,000, will constitute the

The allotment of $45,52O,O0O for
public buildings represented the
second fund made available this
year for these structures. But all
except $18,955,000 will be spent
at the national capital.
The decrease in the treasury ap-
preparation was due mainly to a
$50, 100000 reduction in interest on
the public debt The debt itself
has been diminished by the treas
ury by $1,131 100000 during the
past year. Another treasury saving
is the program for a smaller size
Of paper currency which will be isr
sued in the latter part of this year,
affording a decrease of $787,000 in

NEW YORK, Feb. z A9-Frequent

at the opening, experienced sharp
sinking spell around midday and then
made irregular recovery during the
afternoon Standard industrials were

for the year. Trading was in heavy
volume, the days sales crossing the
100000 share mark for the first time

Time money rates were a shade
easier, 60 to 80 day funds being quoted
at Az to 4% per cent instead Of

at Az per cent as against Al per cent
yesterday and held steady at that
figure all day Banks called about

from 81 to per cent bringing it into
line with the New York and Chicago

FEDERAL JUDGE
SAYS OFFICIALS
DEFIED COURT

HOUSTON, Texas, Feb. HD-Hold-
ing that four officials Of the Southern
Pacific lines in Texas and Louisiana
had openly defied the railway labor
act and q court injunction in promot-
ing a company union" to displace the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks, Fed
eral Judge j. G. Hutcheson today
recommended criminal contempt pro-
ceedings against the rail executives.
An opinion handed down by the
jurist, forecasting the terms of SEN
tence to be imposed on the officials
Friday in civil contempt case, con-
tanned bitter attack upon the course
of action followed by the railroad in
the labor controversy.
Judge Hutcheson indicated he would
insist that the Brotherhood Of Rail-
way Clerks be restored as the official
labor body of the company's clerical
employees and that the association of
clerical employees, fostered by the COM
pany, he dissolved.
BY accepting these terms, along
with the reinstatement Of brotherhood
members discharged during the dis
pute, it was pointed out by attorneys,
the railroad officials might purge
themselves of contempt.
The officials are II. M. Lull, execu-
tive vice president of the Southern
Pacific lines in the two states; G. S.
Waid, general manager; j. c. Torian
assistant to Mr. Waid and VIZ p Mann
Ell Paso division superintendent. They
were declared in contempt by Jodge
