Fred Biedenkapp, national secre-
tary Of the Workers International
Relief, / Union Square, yesterday
revealed letter from Katharine w.
Fisher, Il First St., Washington,
D. c., which the relief secretary
characterized as an evidence Of "the
souri, milk of human kindness" The
letter, which follows in full, was in
reply to appeal for funds sent out
by the relief organization last week.
"Disapproves" of Strikes.
II do not doubt" Miss Fisher
writes, chat conditions are bad in
New Bedford, but l so disapprove
of strikes as a method for attempt
ing to remedy them that even if |
did have money to spare | should
not contribute it.
"How can anyone expect to cure
conditions in the cotton textile in
dustry of New England by the an
cient method of the strike? People
must be fed, of course, but why not
let them work.

give a dollar for a child whose
father is working than to one whose
father is striking. Please remove

COLLEGE BRIBED
BY OFFICIALS OF
POWER TRUST
Iowa State School Got
$4,000

WASHINGTON, Sept. IS (UP).
A campaign of Iowa utilities in
terests to retard a movement for
municipally-owned power plants in
that state was described today as
the Federal Trade Commission re-
sumed its investigation of the power
industry.
Municipalities where the senti-
ment in favor of a publicly-owned
plant was strong were circularized
with literature designed to persuade
citizens against taking such step,
H. P. Weeks, director of the Iowa
section of the National Electric
Light Association, testified.
In addition, Weeks said, mis- or
ganization distributd 165 copies Of
a utilities propaganda magazine
each month among members of the
Iowa state legislature.
Total payments of $4,000 to
Iowa State College since 1925 were
revealed by other checks placed in
the record. The payments averaged
about $4,000 annually and were
rade, Weeks explained, in connec-
ton with research into rural power
development.
Revenues of his association,
Weeks said, were derived from
Iowa utilities and from the National
Electric Light Association.
A joint legislative committee is
maintained by Iowa utilities to
guard their interests at sessions Of
the state legislature, Weeks testi-
fled. He said the committee rep
sented electric power and railway
companies.

purpose was plentiful; probably
supplied from the Golfers Of Mr..

Smith then concluded his speech,
which was lengthy and detailed, with
his statement upon the McNary-
Haugen Bill, which has as the prin-
cipal part of its machinery the
much discussed equalization fee.
The fee was not mentioned by the
governor. Farm relief leaders call
it "the heart" of the measure. He
merely left this question open by
saying he is not limited by the bills
