UTILITY PROBERS
PLAN TO SPEED
WORK TO CLOSE
Federal Trade Commission
to Resume Inquiry
Wednesday.
BY CECIL OWEN.
fnited Press STAFF Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The fed
eral trade commission, which
Wednesday, will resume its investi-
cation of utility propaganda activ-
tiles, expects to conclude the first
phase of its inquiry within month.
Commissioner Edgar A. McCul-
loch, who supervises the investiga-
ton conducted by the commission
under senate order, told the United
Press today that propaganda hear
ings would be continued until all
evidence is presented, but there
would be no more long Interrupt
tons.
Witnesses will be summoned from
California, the only state which al
ready has not been covered in earli-
er hearings, McCulloch said, within
the next two weeks.
Refusal by the Electric Bond and
Share Company, New York, to pro-
duce records demanded by the COM
mission will not interfere, with con-
tinuation of the propaganda phase
of the inquiry, McCulloch said.
After the propaganda end has
been covered, the commission will
resume it's investigation into power
corporations financial structure.
Data gathered by commission ac-
countants from books of power COM
panies and material compiled from
answers to questionnaires filed with !
the commission will be placed in the
record
Investigators of the commission
indicated today, however, they do
not expect any difficulty in obtain
ing whatever records are required
from other large utility holding
companies. With the exception of
the Electric Bond and Share, it was
learned, no other power company
has questioned the commissions
to demand records.

because it gives more prompt, positive
relief than anything else It's no trou-
be at all to mix and costs but a trife.
Into a pint bottle, pour 21. ounces
of Pinex; then add plain granuiated
sugar syrup or strained honey to make
a full pint. This saves two-thirds of
the money usually spent for cough
medicine, and gives you a purer, better
remedy. 1t never spoils, and tastes
g0od-children like it.
You can actually feel its penetrat-
ing. soothing action on the infamed
throat membranes. 1t also promptly
io0sens the germ-laden phlegm, and at
the same time, it is absorbed into the
blood where it acts directly on the
bronchial tubes. This three-fold action
explains why it brings such quick
relief even in severe bronchial coughs
and .tiu" coughs.
Pinex is highly concentrated COM
pound OF genuine Norway pine, con-
tanning the active agent of creosote, in
refined, palatable form, and known
as one of the greatest healing agents
for severe coughs, chest colds and bron-
chial troubles.
Do not accept substitute for Pinex.
1t is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.

Supreme Council Members
Are Sworn to Secrecy
on Proceedings. :
BY ARCH RODGERS
United Press staa Correspondent

SUNBURY = ON THAMES, Eng
land. Jan. 9-The high council of
the Salvation Army assembled to-
day to devote the remainder of its
time until final adjournment dis
cussing the proposal of Commander
Evangeline Booth that her brother
be removed as the army's highest
officer.
Smut from the world in the old
ballroom Of Sunbury court, the
sixty-three men and women, who
compose the highest legislative
branch of the army, failed Tuesday
to challenge General Bramwell
Booths ability to lead them, accord
ing TO an official announcement.
Sworn to Secrecy
Instead, the high council sent a
message of love and sympathy to
General Booth, who is convalescing
from a serious illness at his home in
Southwcld, Suffolk.
The only reports coming from the
council are by official statements.
All members were sworn to strictest
secrecy, it was understood, and only
members are allowed in the rooms
The official statement issued after
Tuesdays three sessions said Com
missioner James Hay, of New
Zealand, was elected president of the
council and Lieutenant Commander
William Haines, of international
headquarters, vice-president. Com
mittees also were chosen.
Removal of General Booth is
sought by his sister on the grounds
of i'll health.
Wants Elective System
Commander Booth also is known
to be opposed to the present auto
cratic form of government which
places all executive authority in her
brothers. hands and allows him the
right to choose his successor. She
desires an elective system.
Supporters of Genera Booth
claimed before the council met that
he was sure to retain his post. A
three-fourths vote of the council is
required to remove the commander
mischief, which means sixteen votes
for General Booth will keep him in
office.

bail on framed charges of assault.
He is also held on $500 bail on a
second charge of "disorderly con-
duct" A nearly fatal slugging from
police and private detectives when
the strike first began in the gar
ment district failed to cow Resigne,
who altogether has been arrested
and beaten up five times during the
strike.

Fake Five-Day Plan

The machine-packed convention of
the Cloth Hat, Cap and Millinery
Workers International Union yester-
day continued it's work of attacking
all progressive proposals and me-
chanically voting through the ma
chine measures. The convention,
which opened May l, is holding its
sessions in Beethoven Hall.
Following the line of the previous
day when a resolution on a fake
"amalgamation" scheme was intro
duced, the corrupt henchmen of Pres
ident Zaritsky went a step further
in "progressiveness." They actually
proposed the introduction of the 40
hour, five-day week and the egtab-
lishment of an unemployment fund
in the millinery trade. The joker
attached to this resolution provides
that all this is to be done "at an
opportune time" Which means that

CALL ON ALL To
FIGHT GALES
SEIZURE OF GUNS
Government Turns on
Farm League Which
Fought Catholics
Rulers Won't Give Land
Clerical Reaction Still
Is Strong

MEXICO CITY, May THE
Communist Gel Machete" publishes
an appeal of the Communist Party to
the peasants of Mexico to resist all
attempts of the government to dis
arm them. After having crushed
the revolt of the reactionary mill
tarists, who have lost the last strong
hold in the North, and either fled to
the United States or surrendered, the
Portes Gil government turns against
the peasants and the workers, who,
with arms in hand, have helped to
defeat the militarists and the clerical
"cristeros."
In this attempt to disarm the
workers and peasants, Portes Gil
follows faithfully in the footsteps of
Gales who appealed to the help of
the peasants during the previous re-
volts of the militarists in 1929 and
1927 and of the catholics in the last
months of 1926, and when the revolt
was crushed, sent his soldiers to the
villages to take away their arms.
Gales feared that the armed peas
ants would not be satisfied with the
very slow system Of land distribu-
ton, but would take by force the
land which had been promised to
them by all the revolutionary"
governments of Mexico.
What Is a Promise?
The Mexican government found it
necessary to announce recently,
when the military revolt was near
ing it's end, that it would proceed
with all speed" with the distribution
of land to the landless peasants. The
government recognizes that behind
any revolt in which peasants partici-
pate, even under religious slogans,
there must be economic reasons, the
principal of which is the unrest due
to the lack of land, and the govern
ment must promise to satisfy the
land hunger of the peasants to avoid
further revolts-under whatever
slogans.

At the same time, however, Portes
Gil shows his strong hand. Every

Some Scabs Brought

GASTONIA, N. c., May THE
strike committee of the textile mill
strikers here has voted for mass re-

families. The evictions have beer
going on all day today, and as the
strikers are moved out of their
houses, the strike committee moves
them back in again.
The evictions are conducted by

ders of the Manville-Jenckes Co.,
which owns the Loray factory on
strike here.
Many Shelterless.
By night dozens of families will
be without shelter. The Loray mill
is offering trucks to assist the
evicted strikers out of the houses,
on the pretense of kindness toward
the sick, but the strikers scon this
charity. The company had prom
ised not to throw the sick out of
their houses, but is breaking the
promise.
The first evictions were those of
strike committeeman Valentine, and
Will Truett, secretary of the Gas
tonia local of the National Textile
Workers Union. C. J. Cox, picket
captain, was also among the first
evicted, showing an attempt to dis
integrate the strike leadership, an
attempt which is failing.
