FiIipinos Concentrating, but
in Preparation for
Spring Crops.
WATCHFUL
Troops Reported Ordered
in Readiness to Stop
Further Fighting.
By GEORGE D. CRISSEY
United Press stan Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. As
Stunning that plenty of work means
few riots, authorities today looked
toward the fertile fields of the San
Joaquin valley as a factor which
will stop fighting between Filipino
and white 1aborers.
The Filipinos are concentrating In
the rich districts OF interior Cali
fornia, but this fact brings signs
of relief because 1t is work that is
drawing the islanders together.
For time, it was feared the
Filipinos would collect in groups and
hold California phase OF the Ma
tional Humiliation day" observance,
which will be staged in Manila Sun
day in mourning the death OF a
young Filipino, killed in riot near
Watsonville.
But the soil of the California val
leys eased that fear. The spring
crops will mean more jobs for every
one, and, as a result, the competi-
ton for work between the two races
will end.
Authorities are apprehenSive, how
ever, and are guarding against the
possibility of renewal of the riots
which caused one death at Watson
vile and resulted In hundreds of
injuries in the Pajaro valley and
San Jose.
It was reported that members of
the One hundred forty-third field
of the California national
guard had been ordered to stand by.
officers of the regiment, however.
denied the report, although enlisted
men maintained that they have in
structions to remain in contact with
headquarters of their batteries.
Meantime, with the situation In
California we'll in hand, Filipinos in
Manila completed plans for great
as tribute to the islander
killed in California. Agitation for
complete independence will feature
the gathering which, according to
advance indications, will be an Or
derly one.

In the Stock Market
by Thomson d. McKinnon)

NEW YORK, Feb. both trade
and financial news still is on the
side Of slow but steady improve
ment. Trade reviews sound a more
encouraging note this morning and
from the financial side of the pic
ture the movement of gold in our
favor is important in that it is in
creaSlng our credit ease and creating
easier money conditions. This in
turn already has brought about an
improvement in the construction in
duStry and is responsible for much
OF the betterment shown in other
directions. With very few excep-
tons the annual reports of prac-
tically all of our important corpora
tlons make pleasing reading. Within
the market We believe stocks have
been passing into strong hands, and
that such distress selling as recently
overhung the market has been
cleared away. We can not bring
ourselves TO modify in the least our
bullish views on the better class of
securities.

Vets Against Suggestion
to Make Liquor Legal
in Homes.
WATCH DRY SITUATION
President Hoover Cleared
of Any Hookup With
Moderation Move.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA cold
reaction to the Fort suggestion for
legalization of home brewing came
today from both vets and drys in
tent upon fighting out the prohibi-
tion question in congress.
The vets asked if Representative
Franklin Fort (Rep., N. j., close
friend of President Hoover. wants
to make a brewery of every home.
The drys pledged themselves to
making the Volstead act stronger
instead of weakening it, as they see
1t, With the Fort moderationiSt pro-
poSal.
Vets claimed to see in 1t, mainly,
vindication of the proposal for
legalization of 2.75 per cent beer,
but did not consider 1t a practical
solution.
Nothing Expected
Nothing is expected to come of it,
as nothing came from a suggestion
for manufacture of light beer under
government control made in 1926
by Brigadier- Lincoln c.
Andrews, former prohibition en-
forcement chieftain, in appearing
before the Reed special senate COM
mittee.
While and old boyhood chum of
Fort, Representative Lehlbach, wet,
(Rep., N. j., prepared to give an
official answer to Forts speech of
Friday, the vets and drys had their
eyes fixed on the following develop
ments in the ever-growing prohibi-
tiOn controversy here:
First there is the Inauguration
of the plan of dry senators to put
every candidate for enforcement
positions on record as to his per-
Sonal views before letting him be
confirmed in the senate.
Next is Borah'S fight against re-
tention in the prohibition enforce
ment service of John Herbert, ad-
ministrator of the Idaho-M Montana
district.
Charges Unverified
The charges against Herbert,
whispered around Washington for
the last few days. have not been
verified in any way so far as is
known, although they are of a SEN
Sational character.
Third. is the move in the house
expenditures committee to return
to Secretary of Treasury Mellon some
of the power he lost in the bill to
transfer enforcement to the justice
department The bill is expected to
be amended back into its original
form. giving Mellon and Mitchell
the joint power to control industrial
alcohol withdrawal permits when it
is reconSidered by the committee to-
day. It is to be taken up on the
floor of the house early next week.
The Fort speech was robbed of
any idea that it stated Mr. Hoover'S
personal views when both the Presi-
dent and Fort issued statements CIV
ing Fort the sole credit for it.
