FILIPINO PROJECT
 MAY REACH VOTE
Independence Issue Likely to
 Come Up in December

Washington, Oct. 15 P)-Promis- ed senate disposition of the long recurrent issue of Philippine Is- lands independence during the reg ular session is regarded by Senator King, democrat. Utah, as tanta- mount to a vote for their autonomy.
 AS an issue complete in itself which it has not been since 1916- an independence bill is to be con- sidered at the December session as the result of it's intellectual injec- ton into the tariff debate twice at this special session. Efforts were lem in 1924.
 Two Proposals Beaten
 At the special session two pro- posals which would have led to iE- dependence for the islands were de- feated on votes regarded as not rep resentative of opinion on the issue, but rather as intended to rid the tariff controversy of this rider.
 Acting today, the nationalist, or majority party of the Philippines and the Philippine Independence commission approved the creation of new independence commission to be sent here early in November. It is to be headed by Manual Que zon. president of the insular senate, This follows the action taken by | Chairman Bineham Connecticut of the territories committee, in prom isng to hold hearings on a bill by King with a view to reporting it tc the regular session when the Utaf senator introduced the subject ir the tariff debate.

.REDISCOUNT RAISE
Community DECISION
Reserve Board Consulted All Gov.
errors Before Taking
Drastic Action.

Since Federal Reserve Board policies
have become so much of public issue,
says w. M. Kiplinger in the American
Bankers Association Journal, it may be
pertinent to point out at this time that
the recent rate policy was adopted only
after conference with governors of
the Reserve banks. 1t was apparently
community decision on which there
was no serious disagreement. The board
is consulting the governors freely. At
the same time there are reasons for
suspecting, without actually knowing,
that the board is getting its collective
mind in shape to take actions more
quickly and Summarily hereafter. If it
were to be admitted that the New York
rate should have been raised sooner,
then 1t is conceivable that under COM
parable circumstances in the future the
action would be taken sharply.
The White House, or the admins
tration," or other political influences
had nothing to do with the recent rate
policy of the Reserve system, reports
intimating this being made of whole
cloth. The White House has kept hands
off credit policies.
Congressional inquiry will be made
into Federal Reserve policies, stock
market speculation, branch and chain
banking and other bank and credit
questions in the next session of Con-
gress in the Spring of 1880. Legisla-
ton to strengthen the power of the
Federal Reserve Board to control the
use of credit in securities markets will
be proposed. The attitude of the Fed
eral Reserve Board probably will be
that it has plenty of power already;
that it would be unwise to attempt to
use all the power already possessed, and
that new legislation of fundamental
nature is unnecessary.

The total number of dead In the
disorders which began May day was
at least 10 today with the likelihood
that -. or even more may have
been killed; seven were killed dur
ing May day disturbances and two
of those wounded on that day died
in hospitals this afternoon.
Last night further disorders broke
out In the. communist section of
Neukoelln. One man il known to

In addition to the hundreds ar

more arrests were made overnight.

Moscow Is Blamed
Last nights outbreak was de-
clared to have been melted by in
cendiary posters and speeches by
communists including Reichstag
members but which were bitterly
criticized by the social democrats as
dictated by Moscow. and as not ex-
pressing the true feeling of German
labor.
Berlin. May 3 R)-Berlin emerged
today from its second night of COM
munist rioting with 10 persons dead
and at least 1870 more or less SER
iously injured. Many hundreds were
under arrest. Property damage was
considerable. Last nights total was
three dead and 90 injured.
It was not until daybreak that po-
lice. armed with hand grenades, tear
bombs, machine guns. and protected
by armored cars, found that the
communists had abandoned barri-

After the first stages OF fighting
last night the constabulary had con-
tented itself with throwing a heavy
Gordon around the area and awaiting
daylight, realizing that to attack the
barbados in the dark would involve
heavy loss of life.
They found the street In ruins as
they entered it this morning. Mater
ials which were to have been used
for subway extension had been
worked into the barricades. paving
blocks were torn up. trees uprooted,
windows smashed, and stores looted
for more than a mile.

later called for reinforcements.
Beer Bottles Is Weapons
Communists who had no guns
used stones and beer bottles and
many times aimed SO well with the
bottle that they knocked the guns
from the policemen's hands. After
hand to hand fighting In which
many persons were injured the po-
lice were forced from the street and
the barbados were thrown up.

as anybody showed himself at WIN
dow police fired warning shot and
announced that on repetition OF the
offense they would not hesitate to
shoot to kill. A house to house
search for instisators of the riots
was planned.
Police today suppressed the COM
munist organ, Die Rote Fahne (The
Red Flag). which was charged with
having aided in melting the COM
munists. Both the socialist party ana
the trade unions this morning issued
press appeals to workers not to heed
the communist agitation.
