 MT. Mitten came to Philadelphia in 1911 after disastrous strike of street car men in Chicago and took over the management of the Phila- delphia Rapid Transit company, whose affairs were at low ebb. One of his first steps toward re mobilization was an agreement with the 10000 employees which gave them voice and financial interest in the company's affairs. This agreement, known as the "Mittcn cooperative plan" has attracted wide attention and was extended to the International Railway company when Mitten became interested in the Buffalo company.

San Fransisco Attorney Accepts Job Without Pay, Although He Confesses It Is Burden-Says
 Abuses Have Given Law Black Eye

Washington, Oct 2 R}-As a patriotic duty of a private citizen, John L. McNab, San Francisco law yer, has undertaken, at the request of President Hoover, the difficult task of formulating legislation to bring about better prohibition >en- forcement and relief of court con- gestion.
 Mr. McNab has no official con- ncction with the government, but was urged by Secretary Mellon, At torncy General Mitchell and Chair man WickcrSham of the law en- forccment commission, as well as the president, to draft legislation for submission to. congress in De- ccmbcr that would centralize pro- libition enforcement under the justice department.
 Task "Burdcn"
 Although describing it as a bur don," he said he felt it was his patriotic duty because no one "Who has caught the spirit of the presi- dent on his ardent desire to make this country a laW-abiding nation could, for a moment, hesitate to take up this task.
 The abuses which have accom- panied enforcement Of the dry law have brought the act into ''un- mcritcd disrcputc," he believes, and have broken down the legal ma chinery through the clogging of the courts.

SOVIET MINISTER
 URGES WAR PLANS
Says Communists Already
 Strongest Military Power

London, Oct. UP)-The organ ization of Soviet Russia as a mili- tary state trained and armed to the teeth for mass war and world revo- lution is the ardent dream of Kie- menti Noroshiloff, commissar of war, lengthy dispatch to the Daily News from Moscow said today.
 In an address before Moscow re- giOnal trade union conference, said the correspondent, Noroshiloif de- clared the red army was already strong enough in all branches to de- feat any power that it might have to contend with. He> urged, how. ever, that red army discipline be also applied to every branch of in dustry and condition that Russia might be prepared industrially as in military way to wage such a war to make world revolution possible.
 Sees War Eventually
 The Daily News dispatch said the commissar in referring to the five year industrialiZatiOn plan declared that mass war alone would settle the fate of the Soviet state and the world revolution.
 If the scheme of development which Noroshiloff advocated in his address is realized. it is believed the militariZation of Russia will by far surpass that of Pre-War Germany and will tend to make Russia the strongest military power the world has eyer known.
 "There will be no distinction" the Daily News quoted Noroshiloff as saying, "betWeen the front and the rear. The discipline in the Soviet factories must immediately be made as rigid as that which prevails in the red army. We. must give the factories a military atmosphere"
 In carrying out the industraliza- tion plan, the war commissar urged upon the trade congress the ncces- sity of strengthening even further the armed forces of the country.
 Officers All Ready
 'The progress of development in the army' said Noroshiloff, should be accompanied by progress in the socialistic industrial machine but in some domains, the army is outstrip- ping industry. For instance the off Ccr class is far ahead of the rest of the socialist organization. They are brilliantly ready and our war de- partment has brilliantly solved the whole officer problem"
 Foroshiloff called attention 10 the military mancuvers of a fortnight ago, when the red army staff was r~animOusly convinced that the So- vict officers were the most efficient of any in the world with respect to tl." complicated problems of modern war.
 Tn a future war" said Noroshi- loff, "Our air force working in col labOration with an immensely pow crful artillery and utilizing Chcmi- cal means of destroying life, will play a decisive role. The red army is already strong enough in all these branches to beat all it's probable enemies. but considering that the enemy powers will be stronger in dustrially, we cannot rest content with the present munition supply either in respect to quantity or qual- ity."
 Praises Trade Unions
 In conclusion NOroshiloh, was quoted as saying: "Thc foundation of the munition supply and tech ncal power lies in the trade union movement. The next war will be de- cidcd by workers in the factories. professors in the laboratories and students in the higher technical schools. Hurrah for the world rev olution."

Ottawa, Ont, Oct. (UP)-Thc last hope of the United States gov ernment to obtain some sort of q regulation by Canada prohibiting export of liquor into that country rested today in parliament.
 The Canadian government at present has no power to prohibit the export of liquor to any country in which importation is forbidden, the department of justice has ruled.
 In making this ruling public last night after the close of q cabinet meeting, Premier King said:
 This means that any action for the prohibition of liquor export 10 countries where the importation IS prohibited or restricted must be taken by parliament"

HOOVER TURNS
TO HARD WORK
President Arises Early And
Spends Many Hours At
Desk Each Day
BY RICHARD L. TURNER
Associated Press Staff Writer.

WASHINGTON, April 4-P1-
Attaches at the White House have
come to the conclusion that hard
work is to be an outstanding char
acteristic of the Hoover admins
tratiOn.
1t was just a month ago today Mr..
Hoover took the oath of office. Al
most Immediately he embarked
upon a strenuous and exacting pro-
gram. Social invita lions customar-
lily accepted by his predecessors
were declined so that his evenings
might be free.
From the presidents desk have
come in rapid succession announce
mentS Of significant new public pol
icies and appointments to offices
of high responsibility. The presi-
dent has written the message to be
sent to congress which he sum-
moned by proclamation, and in adj
dition he has attacked many other
problems of state.
Arises at ] a. m.
Customarily, Mr. Hoover arises at
z o'clock and, mindful of the edict
of his personal physician, Lieuten-
ant Commander Joel t. Boone, that
he must have exercise, he turns
first Of all to that. Several times
a week he proceeds with a group of
friends to a secluded spot on the
White House lawn and they toss a
medicine ball for a half hour. At
eight o'clock, he is at breakfast, and
at nine. he is at his desk. For an
hour he devotes himself to his mail.
1t is usually after o'clock be-
fore the chief executive finds him
self free to return to the White
House proper for lunch. Hardly an
hour later he is back again at his
desk.
Likes His Radio
Only infrequently does he leave
before six o'clock. More often it is
six-thirty or seven.
The interim before dinner MI.
Hoover likes to spend in relaxation.
His favorite way is to lounge in a
comfortable, big chair and listen to
the radio, usually music, but some
times a speech. Dinner is at seven
thirty. and afterward, unless there
are guests, the president frequently
works in the library until about
ten-thirty. when he ordinarily re-
tires to his room and reads until he
is drowsy.

BOOST EXPORT
OF GRAPEFRUIT
Great Britain Used $4,000
Boxes Last Year, Re-
port Shows

WASHINGTON, d. c., April d
P-Imports of grapefruit into the
United Kingdom during 1928
amounted to the equivalent Of ISL
600 boxes as compared with $685.
900 boxes in 1927, according to sta
tistics issued by the British EN-
pire Marketing Board and receiv-
ed in the foreign service Of the
Bureau Of Agricultural Economics.
The main sources of supply for
the grapefruit imported into the
British market are the United
States, the British West Indies and
British South Africa. Most Of the
American grapefruit shipped to the
United Kingdom comes from
Florida. but some quantities also
are shipped from California. The
West Indian supplies come almost
entirely from Jamaica. The South
African shipments come mostly
from the Transvaal and Cape
provinces. The other most import
ant sources of supply are the Isle
of Pines and Porto Rico.
The increase in imports during
1928, according to the British statis-
tics, was due largely to heavier
shipments from the United States.
Imports registered as having been
consigned from the United States
during 1923 amounted to 592,0 900
boxes, or approximately 70 per cent
of the total. as compared with 502,-
900 boxes in 1927.
In this connection it should be
noted that the official figures on
exports from the United States to
the United Kingdom are consider
ably smaller than the British sta
tistics on imports from the United
States.
