ON SESSION TODAY
Youngstown Stockholders
Meet to Vote on Merger
With Bethlehem.
By the Associated Press.


YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio April 8.-The
meeting of the stockholders of Youngs-
town Sheet g. Tube Co. to vote on the
merger with the Bethlehem Steel Cor
poration opened at 10:45 am. today,
while at the same time a hearing was
begun in Common Pleas Court TO pre-
vent the voting of 81 ,038 shares of Sheet
g. Tube stock held by Otis g. Co. of
Cleveland.
Luther Day of Cleveland, attorney for
Otis & Co., said he would ask a tenn
porary restraining order to block the
voting of this stock.
James A. Campbell, Sheet & Tube
chairman, received loud ovation when
he mounted the platform. He turned
the meeting over to Frank Purnell,
Sheet & Tube president, who presented
list of stockholders as of l pm,
March %.
Purnell then ordered the stockholders
and proxies to adjourn. 1t was indicated
that the meeting would be resumed
at 2 pm.
Meeting Climaxes Long Fight.
The shareholders meeting came as a
climax 10 three weeks of intense fight
ing for proxies, in which the resources

port and finally into last-minute legal
StratagemS.
There still was the possibility of
eleVenth-hour court moves by the op-
position to foreStall the vote even up to
the hour of the meeting, but this was
considered remote in view of last nights

it was not believed they would be

Eaton Predicts Victory.
Although Cyrus S. Eaton, Cleveland
f1nancier directing the struggle to pre-
vent the consolidation, lost his fight to
stop today's meeting, he reiterated his
claims that he and his associates "are
absolutely confident of defeating the
proposed merger" Those urging the
consolidation likewise were confident OF
victory.
Eaton proved sensational witness in
Federal Court late yesterday. telling OF
the ramihcations Of his huge operations
in holding companies and in the steel
industry. He declared that passing OF
control of Sheet & Tube to the East
would make clerks of all Of us in the

Eugene C. Grace, president of Bethle-
hem, draws a salary and bonuses of
$1,000 900 a year and that some vice
presidents of the same corporation re-
ceive 100000 annually, and said the
merger was decided upon at a date too
late to allow sufficient examination of
its advantages.
Approval Of holders of $780, 900 of the
approximately 10000 shares Of Sheet
& Tube common stock was needed to
Tatify the merger.
Attorney Day said an appeal from
the decision of Judge Tuttle will be
filed today in the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals at Cincinnati In the
event the stockholders should approve
the merger, the appeal, if granted,
would nullify the stockholders act.

Peter that it was ready to report and
court was convened Immediately for the
reception Of these indictments, with
several other criminal cases which the

Brooke Lee Started Action.
The return of the indictments today
grew out of the sudden appearance,
some days ago, of the county COM
missioners and e. Brooke Lee, county
ORGANIZATION leader, before the body
with a demand for an investigation.
They asked that if the charges of the
INDEPENDENT were true that the COM
missioners and officials be indicted, or.
if, they were found not to be true, that
those responsible for the publication OF
the charges be indicted.
The board of commissioners, the
members of which are alleged to have
been libeled, are named in the ind1ct-
ments as follows:
Benjamin C. Perry, Lacy Shaw, Cla-
gett c. Hilton, Robert L. Hickerson ana
Downey M. Williams.
The indictment further says that IN
addition to being members OF the board
of county commissioners, that they are
leaders Of a political faction known as

dictrnents asserts that Lee Is prominent

today. Four companions
were given similar sentences.
Most of the Hindu and Parsi shops in

hartman, who is a most prominent
Swarajist, or Indian Nationalist, was
sentenced to one months simple impris

Two thousand school boys threw down

About 80 others already have been
arrested in the campaign of civil dis
obedience by which the leader hopes

None Will Fight Police.
Today's violation was on the beach
at Aat, where yesterday police clashed
teers, and bruised the hands of some
who refused to give up their salt, but,
in pursuance of Gandhis doctrine of
non-violence, would not fight.
Gandhi's answer to the clash was
read aloud to the Aat villagers. He
urged them not to give up their salt
even. If the police broke the bones in
their hands He advised them to ar,
as he does, only loin cloths, alIu so
avoid having their clothes torn.
Generally Gandhi's followers are
maintaining an almost strict adherence
to his passive doctrines and are refrain
ing from violence. but few clashes
with the constabulary were reported.
Police fired on workmen in the Mysore
gold mines, Southern India, who got
out of hand during strike and stoned
officials. There were so casualties.

SCANDALS CHARGED
IN POSTAL LEASES
Senator Nye Urges Senate
Investigation of Rentals
Throughout Country.

By the Associated Press.
Scandals in the leases of post Office
buildings throughout the country, said
to be costing the Government millions
annually, were charged by Senator Nye,
Republican, North Dakota, in a speech
today in the Senate assailing the st.
Paul Commercial Station lease.
Senator Blaine, Republican, Wiscon-
sin, offered a resolution calling for a
Senate investigation of the post Office
leases. His resolution charged that
fraud, Misrepresentation and corrup-
ton" had entered into the negotiations
for the leases
Senator Nye called upon the Senate
to adhere to a provision in the House
appropriation bill for the Post Office
Department which struck out the $780,
900 fund for rental of the st. Paul
Commercial Office.
Calls Situation Rotten.
"The story at st. Paul smells to high
heaven" Nye told the Senate. "If all
other post office building leases are on
par with that at st. Paul the situa.
ton is rotten and unconscionable. It
Is a story that possibly rivals the Tea
pot Dome and other naval oil reserve
leases.
Il remember a Mr. Fisher who was
investigator for the Senate lands COM
mittee who told me frequently that II
Congress would go into the Post Once
leases it would uproot a scandal that has
fastened itself upon the Government
over a period of administrations. Mr.
Fisher died suddenly about two years
ago and under circumstances which
some people believed very suspicious"
Senator Nye said that in 1920, the
Government entered into a contract,
without open bidding, for the construc-
ton Of sub-station In St. Paul. The
contract provided that the Government
would rent the building for 20 years
at an annual rental Of $12o775.
Recommends Reduction.
In a letter read to the Senate by
Senator Phipps, Republican, Colorado,
Postmaster General Brown today sug-
geSted that the Senate cut down the
appropriation for rentals fo= post Office
buildings by 100000. He estimated this
sum Of 100000 could be saved in the
rental Of another building at ST. Paul
Senator Phipps said the st. Paul lease
was now before the courts. Both he
and the Postmaster General urged that
Congress not take action, as was done
by the House, to cancel the lease while
it was before the court. Senator Nye
insisted the situation existing at St.
Paul was applicable to other cities.
Both the Government and the public
are bein duped," he asserted, pleading
Tor Senate investigation. 1T does not
lie at the door of any one administra-
ton, but covers them all"

DANIELS INSISTS
BEFORE SENATORS
RASKOB SHOULD GO
Continued From First Page }

Montana, a Democrat, who was acting
as chairman of the committee today in
the absence of Senator Caraway.
Senator Robinson suggested that it
was rather extraordinary that Senator
to have such a distinguished Democrat
as Mr.. Daniels express his views before
the Senate committee.
Walsh Blocks Answer.
Senator Walsh said that Mr.. Daniels
would not be permitted to reply to the
question asked by Senator Robinson.
mot if can help it," continued Sen
ator Walsh. Apparently the question
has no relation to anything that this
committee was created for"
Senator Robinson then changed his
question so as to ask whether Mr.
Daniels believed that the facts set forth
in the editorial which he had read were
true.
Senator Walsh made no objection to
this form of the question.
They are true" responded Mr..
Daniels, and the crowd in the rear of
the committee room broke into applause
Audience warned.
Senator Walsh then warned the au-
dience that the Senate had rule which
did not permit expression of approval
or disapproval by those attending its
sessions. The same rule, he said, should
apply to persons attending sessions of
the Senate committee.
I'm surprised" said Senator Robin
son SarcaStically, that this warning
comes so late" referring to the fact
that there had been no check on the
applause which greeted replies of Mr.
Raskob when he was before the COM
mittee last week.
This association against the prohibi-
ton amendment, of which Mr. Raskob
is a member, is a bipartisan organiza-
ton, is it not?" asked Senator Robin
son.
Yes" replied the witness.
THE organization seeks to elect Re-
publicans for candidates for Congress
and to favor repeal of the eighteenth
amendment" persisted Senator Robin
son.
Mr.. Daniels said he believed that to
be so.
"If candidate is a wet and a Re-
publican, this organization would work
against his Democratic and dry
"That is my understanding" said
Mr.. Daniels.
Contributed Both Ways.
In reply to further questioning, Mr..
Daniels said, Il think the chairman of
the Democratic party should not be
member of and give money to any
organization which seeks to elect any
one but Democrats"
Senator Robinson said that the evi-
dence before the committee showed
that Mr.. Raskob had contributed both
ways"
isn't it logical to believe that he
would expect his money all to go for
one purpose?"
II object to that question" raped
out Senator Walsh. With smile Sen
ator Walsh continued that he had
high regard for the opinions of Mr..
Daniels. but that the committee was
not seeking opinions.
Senator Robinson said he would not
press the question. He asked Mr..
Daniels whether it were not true that
the Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment has already set up three
headquarters in Philadelphia to take
part in the primary election there and
in an effort to make prohibition domi-
nant issue.

And that ended Mr.. Daniels testi-
mony, Senator Robinson saying that he
had no further questions to ask.
