PROGRAM
FACES FRESH
ATTACKS
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
International News Service .


Two fresh assaults on the Presi-
dents farm relief program per-
picked administration leaders in the
Senate today as final vote neared
on the new farm bill, with its
Hoover-epposed export debenture
plan.
The same Democratic-Insurgent
coalition, which forced adoption OF
the debenture over Hoover's opposi-
ton, sponsored two amendments,
calculated to upset Hoover policies.
One, by Senator Heflin Ol OF
Alabama, would increase the farm
relief revolving fund, authorized by
the bill, from $50, 200, 900 to $1,000
O00, 900.
The other, by Senator Nye R0
Of North Dakota would authorize the
President to purchase $2OO,OeO,0OO
of wheat and wheat products Tor
free distribution to the starving
peoples of China
Wrecks Program
If adopted-though the chances
appeared light-these proposals
would wreck the Administrators
financial program. In opposing the
debenture, one of the Presidents
chief objections was that it would
take 5000, 900 900 out of the Federal
Treasury.
The Heflin amendment would
double the. liability Of the Govern
ment in financing farm relief and
double its possible losses. With
the President contending that the
Government should not pay agri-
cultures losses, he could scarcely
approve a proposition to increase its
liability.
There appeared small likelihood
of either amendment being adopted,
although the Democratic.Insurgent
coalition could write both into the
bill by maintaining the same ranks
shown in the debenture fight.
Amendments Continue
The belief prevailed that q num-
Der of Democrats would break
away from the coalition and join
Administrator forces in defeating
both amendments, thus giving the
President a change Of political diet.
The Senate meanwhile continued
to perfect the Administrations
bill.
A number of minor amendments
have been adopted, all tending to
improve the administrative features
of the proposed new Farm Boards
control of marketing crops. An
amendment by Senator Copeland
D.) of New York proposing to pro-
hibit loans for the creation of new
marketing facilities unless it were
demonstrated that existing facilities
were inadequate, was defeated with
out a. record roll call.
This provision was written into
the bill by the House with the
Presidents approval, but Insurgent
leaders condemned it is a Joker
and the Senate rejected, it.
Hope for Vote
Administration leaders were hope
full of securing a final vote on the
bill this afternoon, although they
had the same hope yesterday. Under
a unanimous consent agreement, de-
bate is limited, but some 80 amend
ments must be disposed Of before the
final vote. Consequently, there was
no certainty as 10 when the bill
would be enacted.
Once it is passed, the Senate will
turn its attention to the House re-
apportionment and 1880 census bin.
While some Southern Senator'S will
oppose this measure vigorously, be.
cause it reduces the House represen-
tation in their States, Administrator
leaders predicted it's enactment
within a few days.

wasn't his. Everybody knew there
was no evidence that any clothing
robbery accompanied the shooting of
Morrison.
Still, the murderers of Joe Hill
were fairly well satisfied. If the
last act of the clumsy farce had been
Kissed, there was one indecent cpl
logue that could be played out. They
could say that Joe Hill "bawling
out" the guards who tried to play
this little secondhand clothing trick
on him, and clouting one of them
over the head with broom handle
for it, was closing his nerve" that
he had "hysterical fit" And they
said it.
Fortunately there were those in
prison who knew what happened,
and there were Joe Hills last words,
and his kilograms.
The reporter allowed to see Hill
shot says he spoke as he was seated
in the chair in the prison yard,
across from a curtained doorway
which masked the faces of the fir

BY VERN SMITH.

Joe Hill woke up in the prison
at Salt Lake City, Utah, at four
o'clock in the morning, November
10, 1915, and remembered he was
to be shot at 1880. He looked for
his blue suit he had asked for; the
warden had laid it away nearly two
years before, when he was just ar
rested; it was his only good suit,
and he had fancy to die in it. But
the suit they gave him had some
thing wrong with it. 1t was some
inches too big, and inside on the
pocket, was a strip of cloth, nicely
letter, 81. S. Morrison"
The frame-up, pure and simple,
was reaching out after Joe Hill, to
shroud his body and smirch his
reputation even after his death. His
suit had been changed for another
by those who had arranged that
Joe Hill should be shot for a crime
he never committed. His body was
to be exhibited with suit tagged
as Morrison's. Morrison was the
grocer that had been killed in a
neighborhood feud, Jan. 10, 1914,
and for whose death Joe Hill was
being executed. 1t would make a
nice little story for the press, when
some reporter, properly tipped off,
discovered" that "Joseph Hillstrom
went to his death brazenly wearing
clothing he had stolen from his vic
tim, after shooting him."
Wasn't Even Morrison's.
Hill was shot in his prison clothes,
and they had to say that guard
found the name in the suit and
wouldn't let Joe Hill wear it. They
showed it to Morrison's widow, and
asked her to identify it as one of
her husbands, but she was tired OF
the dirty game, and refused. She
did say it was something like the
