HOOVER FACES
BATTLES over
new CABINET
Mrs. WiIIebrandt, Mellon
and Donovan Targets
of Senate Ire.

Bg Times Special
WASHINGTON, Jan. Herbert
Hoover may encounter trouble in
obtaining senatorial confirmation of
several important Coolidge Office
holders. frequently mentioned as
cabinet possibilities under the next
administration.
With Hoover's approach to Ameri-
can shores stimulating discussion Of
his appointments, senate corridors
and cloakrooms are buzzing with
threats of reprisal against Secre-
tary Mellon, Colonel William J..
Donovan and Mrs. Mabel Walker
7yiJebrandt.
Mellon is considered likely to be
continued. Donovan is being mem
toned for the attorney generalship,
and Mrs. Willebrandt for both a
cabinet post and a federal judge
ship
So threatening is the attitude of
several senators that it is under
stood some of Hoover's close adyis-
ers are canvassing the prospect of
a conflict with the senate that
might engender bad blood during
the early weeks of the new admin
instration.
Naturally. the next President
wants to avoid a clash with con-
gress at such an early date.
LOOphoIe Is Sought
Another incident reveals the re-
atty of the objections raised on
Capitol Hill. Authorities on the
constitution are looking up prece-
dent to discover if it is necessary
Tor a President to seek confirmation
of such unofficial appointees as his
cabinet members.
L Some raise the point that Hoover
could continue Mellon in Office
without accepting a resignation or
asking for confirmation. Others
suggest that cabinet officers are ex-
enpt from the constitutional clause
providing for appointment "by and
with the advice and consent of the
Senate"
Though few senators will speak
for publication, many admit that
each recurring prediction of the Sc
lection of any of the above trio
evokes angry outburSts.
ProgreSsives and Democrats are
angry at Donovan because they feel
his prosecution of Senator Wheeler
of Montana was based on official
resentment at the westerner's sue
cess in ousting Harry Daugherty
from the cabinet. There are other
counts held against the New York
man, but this is the most serious.
Mellon Is Target
Senator Couzens' friends assert
that the treasury suit to recover
$10,000,000 back taxes from the
Michigan senator was another at
tempt to punish a senatorial in
vestigator
Complete failure of the govern
ment's action, together with the
forced payment of 100000 to the
Couzens group, recently has pro-
duced revival of feeling against
Mellon.
Mrs. Willebrandt is on many
members black lists for her re-
ligious speeches during the cam
paign. Governor Al Smiths per-
sonal friends in the senate, as well
as others who do not claim friend
ship with the recent Democratic
nominee, question the propriety of
her conduct in the presidential
fray. They also contend it shows
her unfitness for judicial post Of
any kind.

NOTORIOUS MEXICAN
BANDIT SURRENDERS
Mendoza Gives Self Up With Force
of 1900 Men.


BIZ United Press
MEXICO CITY, Jan, 2.-Benja-
min Mendoza, recently Mexico's
most notorious bandit, suHendered
to the government with an estimated
force of 1900 men, a dispatch to the
newspaper Prensa from Cuernavaca,

The surrender was on condition
that Mendoza and his men be given
their freedom and grants of farm
lands.
Most of the recent holdups in this
region, particularly the automobile
wobberies on the Mexico City-Cuer-
nayaca highway, we're attributed to
Mendoza. In one of the attacks,
the automobile of United States am
bassador Dwight w. Morrow. was
under fire.
Mendoza and his men have fought
many skirmishes with federal troops.
Numerous train robberies have been
attributed to them.

perts succeeded in one years time
in reducing the wages of the mill
workers in many departments to
less than half of their 1927 wage.
For example. a doffer who drew
from 500 to S35 i'll 1927 now earns
from 500 to S25 per week and does
about twice the amount of work.
Cardroom workers have suffered
decrease of from SIS to $40 per week
since 1927. Weavers who were get

only SIS to S24. Loom fixers, the
most nightly skilled workers in the
mills, have been the only group of
workers not to suffer drastic reduc-
tons in their wages, their scale of
49A cents an hour is still in effect.
The "speed-up" experts succeeded
in increasing the number of cards
from 20 to SO per operative, and
reduced wages so per cent in one
year. Weavers have been compelled
to work on an increased number of
looms and to accept a decrease in
wages.

would come to the bridge which
crosses Mill River, they would see
one of the most wretched sights
that the human eye would want to
behold.
There, built up c:ose to the side
walk, were IL wretched little shan
ties. Each house sheltered two
families. What a sight! On the
north side the foundations had sunk
on account of the soft meadow land
that they were built upon. One
chimney would point to the northeast
while another would point to the
northwest. In the rear of these aw-
full habitations was an open expanse
of field, which the city authorities
used as public dump for years.
Mill River, which flows into Long
Island Sound, ran right alongside,
bringing sewerage with it, which
was deposited on the banks.
'The Dirty Dozen"
Some persons who thought they
were humorous nicknamed these
shanties "The Dirty Dozen" a name
by which they were always known
afterwards.
Those who lived in the shanties
were Slavs, Italians, some Irish and
some Yankee families.
When citizens" would pass by
they would hold their noses and
would keep to the outside of the
walk. Children living in other sec
lions of the city would taunt the
children of "The Dirty Dozen" on
their way home from school.
