LABOR IS AGAINST. !.
Confirming BRAND
Central Union Fights Cool
idge Reappointmentyo
Utilities Commission.

Organized labor of the District,
through its official mouthpiece, the
Central Labor Union, is making strenu-
Gus efforts to prevent. the. confirmation
of Col Harrison Brand, jr.. as nnen-
ber of the Public Utilities Commission.
Brands reappointment was recently sent
to the Senate by President. Coolidge.
The Central Labor Unions campaign
against Brand was disclosed Yesterday
in resolutions received by members of
the Senate who are to pass upon the
appointment. The resolutions were
adopted at meeting of the union last
Monday night in Musicians Hall. 1905
e street, but were not made public.
The confirmation of Brand Is op-
posed, according to the resolutions, on
the ground that "the civilian members"
of the commission, of which he Is one,
have thus far in no way actively pro-
tected the interest of the citizens"
1T is the earnest desire of the
Central Labor Union to have as men,
bers of the said Public Utilities CON-
mission the resolutions continued,
men or women who will vigorously
protect the public interest" 4
The resolutions pledge the, union to
seek to prevent Brands confirmation
through every fair means" They
were adopted on motion of A. c.
Hayden, chairman of the unions public
utilities committee.
The Central Labor Union has taken
an active part in the fight against the
adoption of certain features of the
pending ttansit merger agreement.

no legal means of collection.

for larceny, in Chicago. He called him
self Frank Meyers. He was not tried
Three years later. as Michaels, he was
sent to Joliet prison, on another Chicago
arrest for burglary. In 1908, as Ber-
man, he was acquitted Of a grand lar
ceny charge In Chicago. The same year
he was arrested as Lewis in st. Louis
on an unstated charge and the record
indicates he jumped bail. In 1909 he
was arrested for larceny In Pittsburgh

foreign minister of Bolivia sent today
tos thee Council This is the cablegram
which says that the acts of Paraguay
are In, contra adiction with articles 10
and 13 of the League covenant.
Procedure Uncertain.
The great distance separating League
countries increases the difiiculties of any
direct Council action. Nothing has
been decided as to what line future
action would follow. 1t Is suggested,
however, that the League would pre-
sumably act in concert with the states
of the American continent, perhaps
with Argentina or with the A, B, C
powers and with the United States
acting also.. s.
Decision to send copies. of the appeal
70 the American nations not affiliated
with. the League was interpreted to-
night as indicating the Leagues prob
able intention to cooperate with the
American nations irrespective of
whether they are in or out of the
League. The Bolivian -Paraguayan dis
.p1tee is deemed by League. Leaders as
peculiarly an American continent ques-
ton on which the League would not
wish to act alone but in collaboration
with all. A copy of the appeal will be
sent to Washington through Hugh r.
Wilson. American Minister at Berne.
In its cablegrams to the disputing
states the council emphasized the i'm
portance of carefully limiting any
measures of self-defense to those which
can neither be interpreted as aggreS-
Sive by the other countries nor be
liable to involve the risk of direct con-
iict between troops. The Council
voiced the conviction that this would
increase the gravity of the situation
and make the maintenance of peace
more difficult.
The appeal also recalled that the
Covenant of the League mentions dis
putes concerning the existence of facts
which, If established, would constitute
a breach Of any international obliga-
tion or dispute concerning the repara-
tions to be made for such breach.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Decem-
ber 15.--Argentina has outdone the
masnificance of storybook fables In Its
welcome to Herbert Hoover.
The President-elect of the United
States will sail from the capital and
chief seaport of this nation tomorrow
on an Argentine war vessel with mem
cries of the most beautiful social affairs
and entertainment probably ever held
in honor of q visiting dignitary In
South America. He embarkS on the
cruiser Buenos Aires for Montevideo,
Uruguay, whence he win go to Rio de

The formal functions of welcome to
Mr.. Hoover eliminated last night in
magnificent state banquet held at
the palace of President Yrigoyen, and
In the splendid function of the opera
tonight, where an opera house ablaze
with lights and graced by the colorful
dress and jewelry of Argentina's elite,
bade the President elect welcome to
one of South Americas wealthiest ma
tions. sG
Mr.. Hoover was deeply impressed
with the splendor of the presidential
banquet, where he gathered with Presi-
dent Yrigoyen and 80 government and
diplomatic officials in the dazzling Hall
of Mirrors in the presidential palace at
the state dinner. Here. President
Yrigoyen paid Mr.. Hoover rare honor
and shattered precedent by reading his
own speech, as 1t is the custom in
Argentina for the President to dele
gate the reading of his speech to an
aide. Not to be outdone in courtesy,
Mr.. Hoover read his reply. He had in
tended to permit Henry P. Fletcher to
read his, address, but following the ex-
ample of his host, he read the speech
himself. All the guests at the state
banquet were men.
Mr.. Hoover was greeted by President
Yrigoyen on the main floor of the pal
ace, and assembled the white marble
staircase beneath an arch formed by
the sabers of the San Martin Grenadiers
garbed in San Martin blue, trimmed
with red and gold with shining metal
helmets on their heads On the first
landing to the staircase hung a portrait
of Gen. San Martin, which Mr.. Hoover
saluted. The menu of the banquet in
cluded many courses of fish, fowl, meat
and champagne and wines The COM
pany later adjourned to an impressive
salon to smoke and talk.
At the opera tonight squadronS of

restraining the crowds who sought to
view the President-elect of the United
States, who walked into the opera
house to fanfare of trumpets. The

Paris. June 1.-(AP)-The an
nouncement that stale bread, left

The French may not win the
Olympic championships on the track

bread eaters.
Aviation alone saved them from
stale bread.
There is law in Holland which
forbids the baking Of bread during
the night and the earliest possible
hour that "the daily bread" may be
put on sale is 10 o'clock in the
morning. BY that time the average
French athlete already has = pound

Frenchman to Start
in Fifth Olympiad

Paris, June 1.-(AP)-Twenty
years as an active Olympic athlete
will be the record Of Georges Andre,
veteran French runner, when he
faces the starter in the 40O-meter
hurdles at Amsterdam next August.
It will be the fifth Olympiad in
which he has competed.
Andre made his debut as q repre-
sentative Of France at the London
Games in 1908. He was young and
inexperienced and failed to show.
His speciality is the hurdles, but he
has also competed in the decathlon.
At Stockholm in 1912 Andre fin
ished third.
As an aviator in 1915, the French
man, instead Of taking part in the
Berlin Olympics that never came
Oft, was engaged in negotiating
much more difficult and dangerous
hurdles over the line Of battle in
the Argonne and Verdun. He did
not fall.
Antwerp in 1920 and Paris in 1924
found Andre still going strong, no
youngster having been developed in
France to displace him from the
team.
And he will be there again 1t
Amsterdam next August for the
same reason.
"Who is the greatest hurdler you
ever saw" Andre was asked.
Thomson, the Canadian" Andre
replied instantly.
