LABOR

Racial Bar

MEXICO CITY, March 10 P--It was
indicated in circles close to the Mexi-
can government today that bar or
Mexican immigration to. the United
States for reasons of alleged racial in
feriority WeHld be considered extreme
ly offensive by the Gales administra-
ton.
Although there has been no official
comment - unless General Obregon's
statement to American editors early
this week might be considered such
dispatches rom Washington announc-
ing the consideration of proposals tC
place Mexican labor in the same class
with that of oriental immigrants has
aroused much interest and some dis
pleasure.
These dispatches have been giver
an uppermost play in the Mexico City
newspapers, and there has been con-
siderable editorial comment, most of il
unDavorable to the proposals.
It is believed the Mexican govern
ment would welcome some way OF
keeping Mexican laborers at home in
stead of seeing them go by the thou
sand every year to the United States
but at the same time it is believed bJ
some unusually well-informed observ-
ers that the Mexican government
would feel aggrieved should Mexicans
be barred from the United States or
the ground they are not white peo-
pie, although how the government
would make it's grievance known re-
mains to be lseen.
Ambassador Morrow has declined tc
comment on the situation.

of Idaha, that it face campaign is

"Give the people issues and you

March 10 (P1--William Edward Hick-
man, whose life stands legally sub

most gruesome crimes, today was
granted measure of leniency by a
jury trying him for a second murder.
The kidnaper and killer CT Marian
Parker, school girl, with his boy crime
companion Welby Hunt were adjudged
guilty OF the murder OF druggist, c.
Ivy Toms, but the verdict carried a
recommendation of life Imprisonment
for both lads.
A half hour later, the same jury,
celebrating on Hickman's second plea
of not guilty by reason of insanity,
found the condemned youth sane.
Deliberations had begun late yester-,
day afternoon and the return Of the
jury into court for additional in
structions this morning indicated to
court attaches that the. question of
leniency had been subject of pos
Sible difference of opinion.
The foreman asked Judge Elliott
Craig whether the body could rec
ommend leniency for one or both OF
the defendants. The court ruled that
it would not be- bound by such in
structions. Later Judge Craig denied
the motion of Defense Attorney Je-
rome Walsh that the courts state
ment to the jury be stricken out and
disregarded by the body

passed while he was on trial for his
life, will be sentenced March Is

Economic factors in the struggle be-

today before the senate committee in
vestigating the bituminous situation
while mother Of eight children
nesting the youngest in her arms
testified that her miner husband had
been discharged by the Pittsburgh Coal
company because she had talked too
much" to the senate subcommittee
which recently inspected that area
Shrinking into her chair, Mrs. Eva
Barr declared that she had been re-
buffed at the store of the Pittsburgh
Coal company when seeking to obtain
shoes for. her children that had none

The appearance of Mrs. Barr and

Horace BeSer, president of the Pitts
burgh Terminal Coal corporation, be-
cause attorneys for the Pittsburgh
Coal company were not present. He
exchanged sharp words with Senator
Wheeler, democrat, Montana, and in
sisted that the couple be kept here
until Monday for examination by OPP
orators representatives
Officials of the coal company had
previously denied that Barr was dis
charged because of the testimony his
wife gave the senate committee.
Senator Gooding, republican, Idaho,
noted that an announcement of the
calling of Barr was made while G. E.
Lesher, executive vice president of the
Pittsburgh Coal company, was on the
stand and he refused to detain the
couple.
"She has seven children waiting for
her at home" he told Baker,
Earlier the charges by John L. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Workers,
that railroads dealing with the bitum-
inous mines were in conspiracy to de-
flate miners wages and coal prices
were denied by coal operators, to the
extent of their knowledge and so far
as their firms were concerned.
This phase of the inquiry, discussed
in technical terms throughout the
cross-examination apparently inter-
ested only relatively lew IN the
crowded committee room, but quick
ening of attention was noticed when
the miner, Barr, garbed in frayed
blue sweater, took the stand.
Proceeding haltingly, the miner said
he had been notified to visit the office
of Robert Baughman, superintendent
of the Somers mine of the Pittsburgh
Coal company at Pricedale, Pa, soon
after the senate subcommittee had
left that region.
"The boss told me to get out and
stay OUT he added, because my wife
had talked too much"
Barr said that Dan Chew, "the out
side boss had followed him out OF
the office and told him he could "Stay
on" until he found a house and that
he had worked since.

Another Catastrophe in Ad-

SANTOS, Brazil, March 10 Up
Eighteen bodies had been taken
late today from the debris of the
avalanche which crashed down
the side Of Mount Serrat at dawn
today, burying it is believed, 200
beneath it. Three others who were
removed were still alive and were
rushed to hospitals.
Work was frantic tonight in an
effort to recover others buried be-
meath the mass Of earth and rocks,
some Of whom 1t is believed, may
have escaped death. Mobility of
the sliding earth, which was stiII
shifting tonight, however, hindered
work. n
The bodies which were recovered
were in most cases badly mutilated.
Recent heavy rains which under
mined the foundations of one side
Of the mountain were ascribed as
the cause of the disaster, the only
warning of which was the precipi-
tation of a huge boulder down the
mountain side into the Santa Rosa
hospital. A moment later the whole
side of the mountain gave way,
smashing first the hospital where
two patients are known to have
been buried, and then submerging
IA other houses, and damaging a
number of others on the fringe Of
the affected area.
All business in the city was at a
standstiII today with shops closed

RIO SJANEIRO, March 10 tB--
Sudden shifting of a slide OF Mount
Serrat situated in the center OF the
city of Santos, state OF Sac Paulo,
crashed thousands OF tons Of earth
and rocks without warning onto a
section OF that place this morning
and left a dead and dying toll

of the slide were crumpled and

unable to escape the huge avalanche.
Tonight while 1000 men were en-
