this power had no binding effect,
inspite Of the clear intention OF
Congress. Whereas Wilbur sug-
gested last October that he would
divide the power, giving a direct
contract 10 the city but requiring
il to give q subcontract TO the
private company, ne now gives &C
tual priority 70 the company be-
cause OF the terms OF the propos-
ed arrangement. Last fall Rep.
Swing protested that any alloca-
ton 10 the company would be an
invitation TO 1t TO spend a huge
sluh fund in preventing the voters
Of Los Angeles from approving
the bonds necessary for cOnStrue-
ton OF the power plant and trans
mission lines. Sen. Norris echoed
this warning. Now Wilbur serves
on the city an ultimatum that II
secure approval Of its bond issue
within one year-instead OF the
6-year period discussed last Octo-
Der. The Metropolitan Water Dis
trict, which is TO get the water
from the reservoir at Boulder
Dam, is given 6 years IN which TO
finance its share OF the work.
Another trick Wilbur has insert
ed in the document is 3 require
ment that failure Of the city bond
issue shall mean default, IN spite
OF the known fact that Los An
geles has sufficient annual revenue
from its own power plant 10 guar
antee the costs Of all power TO be
granted that city and ali others
within the Metropolitan Water
District Moreover, in place OF
his proposed advisory board, ne
sets up q board to equip, manage
and operate the power plant; the
company and the city will each
have two members Of this board
and Wilbur viii name the fifth
member. Finally, the company j;
to get more Of the power than had
been anticipated.
Sen. Norris will come 10 the
support Of the fight which John
son will make against ratification
Of this deal in the Senate Con
gress has q veto on any fiscal ar
rangements, through its power 4
refuse TO appropriate for construc
ton of the dam until the power
question has been satisfactorily
settled. Wilbur's misleading teSti
mony will figure in the debate.

Denied trial by jury on the pre-
text that the charge is a misde-
meanor, the men were tried IN
special sessions court by three
judges who ruled out all evidence
that the riot March was precipi-
tated by police. Defense attorneys
had movies of the police riot and
New York police reporters on
hand to prove that the five men
charged did not start the riot.
Even Police Comm. Whalen adj
mitted that the meeting had been
orderly Throughout the speaking
When Foster gave the word TO
march to city hall without a per
NIT and present unemployed griev-
ances to Mayor Walker, the meet
ing became unlawful, the prosecu-
ton insisted.

testify that police started the
trouble rode down demonstrators
and numerically dubbed and beat
men and women, went home silent
", after the judges decision 20
rule out all testimony Of what
occurred after Fosters order to
march.
At the close. Atty. Robert H.
Elder for the defense moved TO
dismiss the defendants on the
ground they were within their
rights in attempting popular
march to present grievances, ev-
en- though denied a permit. He
cited Section Il OF the constitu-
ton and amendment 1, regarding
freedom Of assembly. Civil Lib
critics Union attorneys maintained
after the trial that the prOsecu-
tion's case justified at the most
only a minor charge OF parading
without a permit.

FINANCIAL POWER.
EDUCATION MENACE
TEACHER STATES

Memphis-FP-"Not in the 30
years that / have been connected
with the educational system has
the outlook for public education
appeared so menacing," said Sc.
Florence Curtis Hanson Of the
American Federation OF Teachers,
addressing Teachers Local 80 Of
Memphis. 'The corporations and
special interests are making a
concerted nationwide drive TO cut
down school expenditures and get
control Of education. In Atlanta,
Chicago, Syracuse and many 9th
er cities It is the same story.
Some say it is unprofeSsional
for teachers To Join a trade union, !"
pursued Mrs. Hanson. Il say il
Is the only professional thing they
can do. There is just one thing
that would IN my opinion justify
immediate dismissal OF q teacher
without appeal, and that is think
ing that she belongs to q social
class superior to those she teaches.
What we need today is TO get
the fear out OF the teachers
minds. No teacher obsessed by
fear is fitted TO teach children
how 70 be self-reSpecting demo-
cratic citizens.
at is not only the question of
teachers salaries, but the protec-
ton OF the children Of the masses,
that makes unions vital The in
dependence Of the teachers from
the high-handed tactics Of school
boards which seek to curtail the
freedom OF their Institutions Is a
matter OF paramount importance
The public schools were eStab-
iShed largely through the efforts
Of organized labor and have been
protected and foStered by labor.
The majority OF the pupils are
children OF the workers. 1t Is an
anomaly that they should be con-
trOlled BY the wealthy class, peo-
pie who have only 8 financial in
terest and no personal interest
Mrs. Hanson announced that
Pres. William Green OF the A. F.
OF l.. would be invited to attend
the teachers convention at Mem
phis at the end Of June, and that
he would accept. A letter was
read from John Dewey, recogniz-
ed as one of the great phiOlsoph-
ers OF all time, IN which he said,
Nothing Is dearer TO my heart
than the American Federation of
Teachers" Dr. Dewey, who re-
tires this yaer as professor of
philosophy at Columbia after a
long and distinguished service, is
q member Of Teachers Local )
and strong believer IN trade
unionism.

O'Flaherty Screen Version
of The Informer" Is
Banned BY Free State

Dublin. Ireland-The Free State
film censor has banned the new
film called The Informer" based
on a novel BY Liam O'Flaherty.
The book, according TO the censor
misrepresents the Irish revolution
aries and Irish life and the pro
duction OF the film might provoke
protest. A Norwegian cinema
star takes a leading nole in the
screen presentation.
Liam O'Flaherty, trained for
the priesthood, has had one Of the
most spectacular careers IN liter
airy history. Not only has he
been banned BY the Catholic
church In Ireland but he has sui
fered a general boycott because OF
his refusal to toady to the back
scratcherS in literary circles. He
simply viii not bow down before
the gods.
O'Flaherty took part IN the civ
il war In Ireland that followed the
signing OF the peace treaty IN
1871. Win person Dy the haLle
OF McAnteer, formerly a member
OF the l. ". ". in Butte. he seized
the Manson House in Dublin and
hoiSted the Red Flag over it. At
ter a week, the small Red Army
was permitted 10 march out OF ths
building with drums beating and
colorS flying Shortly afterward!
Liam took himself TO BOn6OI
where ne starved as best he eOulC
until q publisher took cognizanci
OF his ability.
Some critics give him credit fOl

Wlbur's Trickery of Los Angeles De6ed

Washington-(FP)-Rsy Lyman
Wilbur, secretary Of the interior,
who testified to the Senate COM
mittee on interstate commerce,
March 5, that he had not made up
his mind as 70 the ALLEGATION OF
power from Boulder Dam as be
tween the city OF Los Angeles and
the Suthern California Edison Co.,
had actually sent out to Los An
geles, q week before that date,
the contracts which he demanded
that the city sign. And the terms
Of the proposed contracts are
much more unfavorable 10 the mu-
nicipality than any Of which had
been discussed in Washington.
These facts have been disclosed
by Los Angeles official 10 Sen.
Hiram Johnon, Rep. Phil Swing
and others interested in the saw
ing for Los Angeles Of the bulk
Of the Boulder Dam power. VII

timony, under oath, will be brot

override the fiat of the admins

Northcutt Ely, executive assist
ant 10 Wilbur, is named as the
messenger who carried the con-
tracts TO Los Angeles, late IN Feb
ruary. Wilbur has drafted 3
joint contract between the city
and the Southern California Ed
son Co. despite his knowledge
that the city's legal advisers held
that the city could not enter into
a Joint obligation with a private
concern. The scheme provides that
both the city and the company
shall guarantee the entire cost OF
power output from the dam, and
that If either defaults, the other
will take over the entire Obliga-
ton. The terms are so difficult
for the city that the effect is to
give the private company a good
chance Of getting all the power to
be generated at the dam

ON FLATHEAD RIVER
Sen Walsh Says Company Oppos-
ed MOustached S0lCn and Sen.
Wheeler for Senate Seats Is
Eat 70?

Washington, April 15.-InteriOr
department officials admitted that
the Montana Power Company had
declined q proposal by Secretary
Wilbur for development OF the
Flathead, Montana, river sites,
but that negotiations toward
lease still were In progress.
Secretary Wilbur'S proposal is
understood TO have been that the
company pay $4,000 q year while
the power project was under con-
struction; 100000 a year until
power development reached q to-
tai OF $1,000 horsepower, and an
increasing rate as developed pow
er increased beyond the latter fig
ure.
Disclosure OF the status OF nego-
tiationS followed q defense by Sen
ator Walsh, democrat, Montana,
OF the action Of Secretary Wilbur
IN making the proposal 70 the pow
er company on behalf Of the COM
mission. Speaking in the senate
Walsh endorsed WiIbur's ~appar-
emily" abandoning consideration Of
application for a development per
nit BY Walter II. Wheeler, Min
neapOlis engineer. The Montana
senator insisted he held no brief
for the power company but said
he was determined that the sites
should not longer lie idle.
There Is DO reason why ! should
be disposed 10 favor the company,
Walsh declared. Neither / nor my
colleague (Sen. Wheeler) would
be here If those allied with the
Montana Power Company had theil
way."
