"A uLI4e hurry OF Tear or dnlav
was experienced yesterday morning
when reports were received that the
house had failed TO concur ON the
senate amendment. and the bill was
sent 10 conference. But later in
the afternoon the glad report was
received that the conferees had
agreed.
a pen has been rushed 10 PreSi-
dent Hoover by the Brownsville
Navigation COMMITTEE with the re-
quest that he use IL In signuinE the
bill. It Is desired TO have this pen
as a city trophy.
Following the receipt OF this In
formation the Brownsville NaviRa-
ton commission made the follow
inE statement:
Members Of the Brownsville Ma
vigation District feel disappointed
IN the lack OF cooperation on the
part OF certain local people, and
owing TO the urgency OF the matter
IL 4 going to be necessary, much
against the wishes OF the NAVIGATION
commission. TO Immediately start
condemnation proceedings against
the owners OF certain tracts OF land
II Il believed that fair prices are
being offered for the land along the
rlght-of-way of the proposed chan
nei. but apparently some Of the
owners look upCn the money belong
ing 70 the district as being public
funds. ana that they should receive
ex ,orbitant prices for land. SO long
as no particular individual Is being
injured thereby.
Claim Prices Too High
The commission looks upon this
ID "a different light, feeling that
thsy are custOdians OF taxpayers
money and that same should he
sptnt with the same diligence aE
though they were using their own
1drds. These land owners should
realize the limitations on their
holdings. AS an illustration az the
fairness Of the values placed upon
these lands by the district, they
cite the fact that In "a recent con-
demnati0n proceeding the owners
were exacting $3.50. per acre and
on condemning same we're awarded
$1,000 per acre for the land needed
by the district and soc per acre
damage on other lands. while the
district had offered. without litiga-
ton. $1,000 pei acre.
The members Of the commission
have familiarized themselves with
the value Of the land required. and
while IL Is their purpose 70 be fair
in their dealings and pay all the
Lard is worth, they do not propose
TO pay fictitious prices.

individual desires these lands for

SELL0UT
IN HARD COAL
Every Member of Gang
Is Out for Himself

SHENANDOAH, Pa, April a.
All hard coal miners are wondering
what will happen on August 81,
when the UNIV district agreement
expires. The National Miners Union
is calling all anthracite miners to
fight under its leadership against
the wage cut and long term con-
tract which Lewis and the higher
district officials are openly arrang-
ing, in conferences and banquets
with the employers where they pro-
mise never to strike.
U. NJ. w. Shattered.
But with the exception of control
of critical opinion decentralization
and first signs of dissolution within
the United Mine Workers are al
ready evident. Local and sub-district
officers, in speaking at their local
union meetings, spend no time ex-
tolling the virtues of Lewis but try
to protect their own places by talk
ing district business. "Never mind
what happens anywhere else," is the
burden of their song. "Let us fortify
ourselves in our own district and
see that our jobs are protected"
District officers are preparing for
August with an eye to making the
best bargain they can for them
selves. They even advise striking pit
by pit, instead of a whole colliery.

oANDHI FINISHES
SALT TAX STUNT
Aids British Bos sc S
Against Masses

BOMBAY, April 14.-Gandhi
ended his futile circus stunt of salt
making today with meeting at
the Bombay beach. Thus far he has
had the cooperation of the British
imperialist authorities, who let him
play at the waters edge making
'nedible muddy salt, as a trick to
mislead the growing revolutionary
temper of the Hindu masses.
Gandhi has not stated what his
next move will be. He is disap-
pointed because the British officials
have not arrested him. They con-
sidered his actions as very helpful
to them against the masses.
ALLAHABAD, Bombay, India,
April 14.--Jawaharlal Nehur, presi-
dent of the bourgeois All-India Ma
tional Congress, was sentenced to
six months Imprisonment on the
charge of violating the salt law. A
widespread campaign of propaganda
is seeping through the petty-bour-
geois controlled native press, but
it is directed as much against revo-
luton by the masses as it is against
British Imperialism. The petty
bourgeois are trying to force the
British "labor" government, which
s acting for British imperialism, to
mite with it against the Hindu
workers and peasants who from day
to day become more revolutionary.
