Labor's Demand for Post.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Ad-
f1linistration Republicans are un-
derstood to have been aroused by
the attitude Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor that one of its
members should be chosen secretary
of labor.
Opinion of President Hoover's
friends is reported to have been ex-
pressed by Chairman Fess of the
Republican national conittee, who
said:
81 believe the American people
will insist that a President of the
United States be permitted to select
his own cabinet officials"
Stand of the labor federation was
made clear by william Green, presi-

conference at the White House late
Tuesday.

SLEDS BANNED
FROM STREETS
Coasting in Public Parks
Only, Police Say.

Children must rot coast or skate
on public streets. They may take
their sleds or skates to the city
parks, where arrangements have
been made to care for them.
This was the edict this morning
of Police Chief Jerry Kinney.
Heretofore, the police department
has erected barricades at certain
streets, barring traffic so that the
children might have their fun in
safety. sssl
The present storm has so coated
the streets with ice that automobile
traffic is more or less uncomfortable,
and the erection of barricades at
this time would be an additional
hazard, Kinney says.
At the park board meeting Fri
day, arrangements will be made for
coasting throughout the winter,
Kinney said.

TRACTION PLAN
CAUTION URGED
Mayor Asks Careful Study
of insult Proposal.

Caution in consideration of the
proposed insult plan for reorgani-
Sation and rehabilitation of the
cityS street railway system was
urged by Mayor Reginald H. Sulli-
van today in a letter to e. Kirk Nc
Kinney, works board president and
chairman of the mayors committee
weighing the street car plan.
1--WE al are agreed that adequate,
modern, asficieilt. and up-to-date
transportation for the city would be
Of great benefit" the mayor wrote
from his bed in st. Vincent's hos
pital. I'VE should endeavor to OBJ
tain this objective unless we are
compelled to surrender rights of
the city and our citizens which, it
is most imperative, should be re-
tanned"
The insult plan calls for legisla-
tive enactment creating a city util-
tiles commission with broad ..'egu-
latory powers. The prospect of
dual authority" of the city conf
mission and the public service COM
mission concerns the mayor, he
wrote.
He indicated he believes the local
body should be vested with all the
powers now exercised by the public
service commission, including au-
thorizatiOn of securities.
Urging close study of the value of
the street railway plant, the mayor
closed his letter with the question:
rs the cost-plus system best?"
The city hall committee on the
insult plan today wrote letters to
promoters Of the reorganization re-
questing them to submit their pro-
posals by Dec. 3, when a date will
be SET for nlhlic hearing

Mt. Fuji and scores of
towns were rocked and a
slight tidal wave occurred on
Boso peninsula.
The quake was the worst expe-
rienced in Japan since the disas-
trous temblor of Sept. l, 1923. To-
kio and Yokohama escaped with
slight material damage. chiefly wa
ter pipes. No casualties were re-
ported in the two cities.
AirpIanes Rushed to Area
Airplanes we're sent into the
moutain region to check the cas-
ualties and damage. Physicians and
Red Cross workers were rushed to
the quake area
Landslides caused by the EARTH
quake blocked numerous roads, and
several streams in the mountains
overflowed when they were damaged
by debris.
Lack Of crowded population cen-
ters in the quake area was believed
to have held the loss Of life to a.
minimum.
Mountain roads we're blocked by
landslides, hindering relief work.
The Shingenji temple at Yumoto
fell in ruins and a priest and two
other persons who we're worshiping
at the time we're killed.
Foreigners at Miysnoshita, 3
mountain resort about ninety miles
from Yokohama, were reported
frightened, but not injured by the
quake.
The Hakone lake district, anotIer
region ,frequented. by Japanese and
foreigners during the winter, vas
rocked by the quake. The district
is just beyond Miyanoshits, and
near the famous Mt. Fuji.
Frequented by Foreigners
The entire region of today's
quake has been affected by major
disasters frequently in recent years.
Steam spouts from hot springs be-
meath the volcanic mountains
Slight tremors are common
throughout the entire volcanic area.
LandSlides add to the danger Of
living in the lnoutainous district.
Scores of foreigners were in the
-Miyanoshita region when
the 1923 disaster struck Japan.
The roadways crumbled beneath
them as they fed down the noun
tain sides. A few lost their lives
and many we're badly hurt during
the recurrent tremors.
Miyanoshita and Atami are usu.
ally crowded with foreigners during
the holiday season. The region is
particularly noted for its beauty
and the walk along the mountain
ridge which runs along the penin-
sula affords one of the most re-
markable scenic views in the far
east. The ocean is visible on either
side for much of the way to Atami
from Hakone.
