olution for an investigation OF the eX-
tent to which power interests have &C
CURED control of Massachusetts, public

ly completed acquisition OF the Wor-
cester Electric Light Co. by the power
association. Both deals were defended
by the company heads as good business

examples of "hook-ups" which were
considered advantageous to the COM
panies involved. He declared that such
procedure had government sanction In
England.
The International Paper Co. was not
interested in any other newspapers in
this section, Graustein declared Great
err efficiency in mill operation and GER

ADVISES INQUIRY
ON MELLON TRIP
Senator Walsh Cites SeCrc-
tary's Canada Visit in Right
to Hold Office Probe.

By the Associated Press.
Inquiry into the nature of visit to
Canada by Andrew Mellon in 1925, AM
as to whether it was in the interest
of the Aluminium Co. of America, was
suggested before the Senate judiciary
committee today as it argued over the
right of the Secretary of the Treasury
to hold that post.
Supporting the report OF Chairman
Norris that Mellon, as a stakeholder, Is
violating an old statute forbidding the
Secretary of the Treasury to be inter-
ested in carrying on trade or commerce,
Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana
raised the point of Mr.. Melons pur-
ported Canadian visit.
Deposition Produced.
Senator Walsh has produced before
the committee a deposition OF Mr Mel
Ion in a law suit involving claim
against the Aluminium Co. OF America
The suit was tried in 1925. The aluml-
mum company was charged with Vloia-
ton of the antitrust law in the acqtll-
sition of a certain tract oil lana IA
Canada. ,,. 80 caro+or
II was the understanding OF senator
walsh that Mr.. Mellon, who is STOCK
holder in the Aluminium Co. Went W
Canada and while there signed certain
ranorc in connection with the land
transaction. ,. :,
THE Montana Senator. however, m
formed the committee today tha0 the
record was vague" on this point. He
left the suggestion that further inquiry
on this point would be advisable.
The law suit in which Mr.. Mellon
denosition was taken was brought by a
man named Haskell, who claimed 10
have had an understanding with the
Duke interests for the development OF
the Canadian tract for the manufacture
of aluminium. ....-
Haskell contended the Duke interests
broke their contract with him ana JOIN
ed the Aluminium Co. for the Canadian
land in violation of the antitrust law
Attention on Law Suit.
The deposition of Mr.. Mellon was
taken at his home here by lawyers 1ol
Haskell. Since the report OF Chairman
Norris was laid before the committee or
SATURDAY.. Senator Walsh has he!d tne
attention OF the committee vi tliAo ia"
suit. 1t is the Montanans contention
that it tends to show that Mr.. MELON
actually was interested in carrying on
business.
Friends of the Secretary intend tc
reply. but they are making no predlc-
tions as to the outcome of the commit
tees vote on Mr.. Melons status. A
close division is apparent.
Regardless of the committee vote, 1t !:
certain that reports both for and agains
Mr.. Melons right to continue at hi
post will be submitted to the Senate
There is some doubt on what may ulti'
mately occur If the Senate should up
hold Senator Norris in view of the rul
ing by Attorney General Mitchell tina
Mr.. Mellon is legally holding office.
