FOR DAWES PLAN
Great Organization to
Sell Products Taken
from Germany
Fight for Control Is On
All Creditors Want to
Become Directors

PARIS, March 5.-The plenary
session of the board of experts of
the Dawes Plan Commission yester-
day adopted the dictum of Owen D.
Young, the unofficial U. S. repre-
sentative, and head of numerous
banks and power companies.
Young declared that German in
demnity paid in materials must be
sold thru neutral" trading COM
pany, trust of gigantic proportions,
operating thru its own bank.
Today the whole group is fight
ing over details, as to who shall be
on the board of directors of this
new corporation, and in control of
the sale of this war loot.
The new body which would super
sede the Dawes organizations and
as far as possible remove the ques-
ton from the atmosphere of the
World War would have the follow
ing powers:
First, receiving and disbursing all
Germany's reparation annuities:
second, handling all deliveries in
kind; third, arranging all details
with regard to the proposed COM
mercialization and mobilization of
German payments; fourth, executing
all functions relating to delays in
annuities.

Shoots When
Suindled BY
Job Sharks

PHILADELPHIA, March 5 (UP).
Because an employment agent re-
fused to refund $5 which he had
paid to get job that did not ma
terialize, Harry j. MacCall, former
ly of San Francisco, today shot and
killed Julius Koffler, 81.
Koffler was proprietor of the
Acorne Employment Service.
1t is a common trick of employ
ment sharks to swindle workers out
of their deposit by sending them
where no job ever existed and rely
ing on corrupt judiciary to reject
the workers demand for refund.
In this case, the worker driven
desperate, found himself without
any recourse whatever, and took
matters into his own hands. In
many other cases, the impoverished
worker is not able even to return
to the employment agency to make
trouble about the fraud.

TRY TO FRAME UP
DRESS STRIKER.
Scab Union Heads Act
as ProvOcateurS

With all the viciousness at their
command, the leaders Of the Social
ist" scab ladies' garment workers
union are trying to engineer the
frame-up of an Italian worker ar
rested in Brooklyn yesterday, who is
reported to have hurt two scabs on
the dressmakers' strike, when he
defended himself against both of
them.
Isadore Nagler and julius Hoch-
man, officials in the scab joint
board yesterday denounced this
worker to the police as hired
gangster employed by the Commu-
mist union.
The worker, with a long record in
the revolutionary movement here
and in italy, as the reported finding
of membership book in the Com
iaunist Party seems to prove, show
these socialist" traitors as ready
to do more than organize scabbing
against strike to abolish sweat,

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The
attempt of President Hoover to slip
the notorious Andrew Mellon thru
from the Coolidge cabinet to his own
cabinet without submitting his name
to the senate for ratification as
secretary of the treasury has
aroused formal opposition from
those senator's who have an elec-
torate that is becoming nervous
over the scandal associated with the
Pittsburgh millionaire. A motion
was carried to investigate MELONS
legality in the new cabinet.
The senate today ratified the
names of Hoover cabinet members
as submitted, and the oath of of

They were: Henry L. Stimson of
New York for secretary of state,

resident Hoover's decision today to
upport the established Mexican
overnment against rebellious gen
rails, by maintaining the arms en-
argo, soon may require action by
american border troops to make the
olicy effective.
This prediction was made tonight
fter it became known at the White
louise that the Mexican government
rould be permitted TO purchase
lunitions in this country for use in
uppressing the rebellion. To make
his policy effective, it would be
ecessary to prevent munitions ship
tents to Mexican rebels who hold
everal towns just across from
american territory.
Available customs officers on the
order would be insufficient, the
United Press was informed, to pre-
ent the smuggling attempts which
re expected to result if the rebel
on is prolonged. The 1880 Amer
AN troops on the border will be
rdered to establish adequate anti
muggling patrols if the situation
iarrants.
1t is believed troops now on the
order are sufficient to cope with
he situation. Approximately 10,-
90 additional troops are within
asy reach of the border and large
erial forces are stationed at Kelly
'ield. Texas, and March Field, CAL
fornia.

The Mexican government will be
