Of their twenty-second day Of con-
tinuous flight in the City of Chi

they don't want anyone else to
say so.

the brothers insisted today they
win remain aIoft as long as
their StinSon-D Detroiter n1onoplane
hangs together.
Sheriff In Dilemma
Angry criticism Of newspaper
reports that Kenenth was ready
to end the flight was contained
in q note John dropped to the
field as the flying coal miners
completed their 524th hour at
12:4O p. m.
A deputy sheriff armed with a
writ Of attachment waits on the
grounds as the Hunters soar on.
But he can find no way in which
to serve it.
The Chicago We WiIl' Cor.
pOratiOn, that promoted the un-
successful attempt Of the same
plane to break the world record
last year, has brought suit, charg-
ing the plane still belongs to the
corporation and not the Hunters
and their associates.
"They can fly as long as they
like" the officer said. Il do my
work on the ground"
Radio Complications
Further complications were
seen in regard to brOadcasting
which the brothers have been do
ing. They broadcast last night
over the National BrOadcasting
System, while the Columbia
BrOadcasting System is said to

Attorneys are now preparing TO
enforce the contract, a spokesman
for the Columbia system said.
Some reports Of diSsension be-
tween the Hunter brothers on the

current at the airport, but these
were denied.

WORCESTER, Mass. July 3.
The lives of 40 children, sons and

York were imperiled today in an
unusual railroad accident in the
center of the city here early TO-
day. The children were en- route
to summer camps in Maine.
Five persons were injured, none
seriously, when a light locomo-
tive struck the rear end Of an
extra passenger train, bound from
Philadelphia to Portland, Ne,
overturning the last sleeping car
and derailing the sleeping car
ahead.
The accident happened just as
the train was pulling out of
Union Station and was proceed
ing slowly over a croSSover.
The Injured
Those injured and treated at
Worcester Hospital were Mrs. Ida

after treatment all were dis
charged except Reynolds, who
was held at the hospital for OBJ
servation. Betty M. Thomson, l2.
of Baltimore, grandchild Of Mrs.
Thomson, who was a supervisor of
the children, was taken to the hos
pital but was found to be unin-
jured.
Three Hours Delay
The train was delayed about
three hours, but extra sections
were added and all the passengers
were able to continue on, their

Planted BY Slayer
It was thought for a time that
Miss Bakers clothes might have
been hidden in the trap-sewer by
sneak thieves who found them in
the blood-Stained car. Detectives
now are certain that they were
placed there by the murderer, or
his accomplice. The planting of
the murder weapon in Campbelrs
office has strengthened their be-
lief.
The evidence was found several
days after the murder and it was
thought at the time that it had
been planted, because Harry
woodward, of the Arlington
county police, said he had prev
iously searched the hiding place.
This was later discredited but

HOOVER To ASK
THAT HUSTON
QUIT POST
Fear of G. 0. P. Leaders That
Campaign May Be Injured
Drives President to Action
BY GEORGE E. DURNO

With the greatest reluctance,
President Hoover has decided to
intervene personally in the
tangled situation confronting the
Republican National Committee
and ask Claudius H. Huston to
resign as chairman.
Possibly today, almost certainly
before Monday. the executive viii

quest that he step aside. The
White House already has made
inquiries as to his whereabouts.
learning he was not in the city
yesterday.
Huston Defiant
The chairman, himself, brought
matters to a head by calling the
meeting of the officers of the
committee and the chairmen Of
the Congressional and Senatorial
campaign committees for Monday.
July z.
At first. 1t was thought Huston
intended to. accede to the wishes
Of party leaders and announce
at that meeting he would retire.
but all reports reaching the
White House have indicated he
had Just the reverse in mind
that he intended to let them
know he meant to stay on the
job regardless.
Such a situation Is most dis
tasteful to the President. He Is
aware that prominent Repub
licaIls in the Senate already have
met to consider ways and means
Of forcibly ouSting Huston should
he fail to resign voluntarily on
Monday, and he has chosen to
intervene rather than let an open
row break out.
Are Intimate Friends
Huston repeatedly has told
party leaders who went to him
with the suggestion he could best
serve the G. O. p. by getting out
that he wouldn't resign unless
Mr.. Hoover himself requested it.
Up to now the President has re.
fused to do this because he and
Huston were old friends.
Huston was Assistant Secretary
when Mr.. Hoover was Secretary
Of Commerce, was a prime money
raiser in the Hoover campaign,
and was placed at the head of
the committee by special request
Of the White House.

PENSION ACT
SLATED FOR
PASSAGE
Four Other Big Bills Await
Action as End Approaches;
Early Adjournment Seen

With Senate conferees acceding
to the demands Of House leaders
on the main controversial issues
in the new World War veterans
pension bill, an agreement was
reached on the measure early to-
day in less than two hours dis
cuSSion.
Leaders predicted the compro-
missed measure would be enacted
before nightfall and the way
paved for an early adjournment.
Senate Gives In
The Senate representatives gave
in to House demands to slash
from the measure the new $40 to
$50 compensation rates inserted
by the Senate two days ago, re-
placing the House $l2 to $40
rates.
Other major provisions re1in-
quished in. favor Of the House in
cluded the provision to pay COM
penSation to veterans whose diSa-
bilities were incurred by their
own misconduct" and that to
pay compensation to veterans
who paid no income tax.
Four Issues Fought
In order of their Importance,
other problems are:
l. Passage of the second def
cheney appropriation bill, after q
compromise of the contest over
giving $3.50, 900 or merely $50, 900
to the Wickersham commission.
2. Settlement Of the contro-
versy over the demand of south
ern senators that Congress direct
the Secretary of War to lease
power from Muscle Shoals to
nearby municipalities.
d. C. Bill Blocked
3. Passage of the District of
Columbia appropriation bill, after
compromise Of the dispute be-
tween the House and Senate over
the amount of Federal contribu-
ton to the city'S operating ex.
penSeS.
4. Compromise Of the dispute
between House and Senate over
the Wagner unemployment bill,
to establish a long-range govern
ment program Of construction
work during unemployment pc.
RODS
If all these problems are settled
to the satisfaction of the inter.
ested factionalists, Congress will
adjourn. Otherwise, the present
session undoubtedly will be car
ried into next week, since fill
buster by even small group Of
Senators could Shatter all plans.
Has Poor Record
If Congress does 60 home to-
night, it will adjourn with one Of
the shortest legislative records in
q quarter century. Thus far.
while it has enacted hundreds of
minor bills. its outstanding legis-
lative achievements include only
the enactment of a tax reduction
resolution, passage of the tariff
bill and authorization of an in.
crease Of pensions to Spanish War
veterans.

Old Wales Shipmate

SUNDERLAND, Eng, July 3
O.N.S9. - Considerable excite
ment was caused here today
when an old friend and ad-
mirer of the Prince of Wales
jumped on the running board
of his car as he was driving
through this town.
Detectives guarding the
prince pulled the man from
the running board amid angry
shouts Of the crowd. Upon
questioning, the man revealed
he was Charles E. Smith, an
old ship-mate of the prince. He
said:

Smith was released.

DORIS PRICE

After emphatically denying that
he had directed precinct and bu-
reau commanders to stop using
informers in making prohibition
cases, an order signed by Major
Henry G. Pratt, Superintendent of
Police, was unearthed today in
which he states that all vouchers
for expenses OF such informers
will not be honored.
This order, unlike many others,
directing precinct commanders to
tag automobiles for parking viola
tions, did not reach the press
room in the usual manner.
1t was also learned that Harry
Luckett, the clerk of the depart
ment, was directed not to honor
vouchers for expenses incurred in
making prohibition cases, with
stool pigeons.
The police chief left his office
shortly after denying that he had
sent any such order out, and

today. The National Geographic
Society, it waJ said, is furnishing
the funds for the. transfer Of the
body. The new site was provided
by the War department.
It was said that the transfer is
being made because of the unSat-

the original grave. The new loca-
ton has one Of the most beautiful
landscapes in the cemetery.

Insurance Policy
On Dickens Found

BATH, England, July 3.-A life
insurance policy of $4,000. signed
by Charles Dickens. and dated
February 9, 1888, was found by H,

papers belonging to the estate of
the late j. w. Tranter, a Bath
insurance agent, which he had
purchased for a trifling sum.

MT realize what it was about or what
it meant. For years most people
didn't understand the robbery of hu-
man rights that was committed every
time a man was forced to sign such
a contract.
1t took long time to bring out
the fact-to most people-that the
yellow dog contract is what is known
as unconscionable; that it is signed
under duress, is not an instrument
of mutual benefit, and that it COM
pels men in desperation to sign away
their rights.
Now the nation knows all about the
yellow dog contract. Some of the
states where labor is strongest have
state laws making it unlawful, or
against public policy to force work
ing people to sign such instruments.
In Wisconsin the state supreme
court soon is to hear arguments and
must decide on the constitutionality
of such a state law.
After the Parker case debate in the
United States senate never again can
a judge pretend he doesn't know that
the yellow dog contract robs a wage
Garner of lawful right, that it is
procured under duress of the most
forceful kind, that it is unconscion-
able, that it does not have to be sup
ported by judges. And never again
can legislator, state or ftderal
vote with straight face against a
bill to outlaw all yellow dog contracts.
The Parker debate has put the XII
bosh on the yellow dog That par
ticular brute of modern industrial life
is on his last legs.

1t is worth remembering worth
telling state legislators not one
United States senator, in all the heat
of defense of Parker, defended the
yellow dog contract. Senators back
ed Parker for various reasons, but
not even the most hard-boiled and
reactionary went as far as Mitchell
went. Not one of them defended the
Infamous yellow dog contract.
And as for the opponents of Parker
end Parkerism, not often has oratory
risen to the heights of libertarian
fervor reached by the dozen men who
bore the brunt of the battle for free
dom. Unforgettable pronouncements
were made in that debate. Freedom
lives! Freedom has all of the vigor,

the hearts of men-all that it ever
had, all of the grip that brought it

BUSINESS COURT"
To Check Output Urged BY
Baruch

Boston.-It is public lunacy" to
produce more than can be consumed,
said Bernard M. Baruch, in urging,
at Chamber of Commerce luncheon,
the establishment of a supreme court
of business" so that industry "can
practice group self-government."
"Overproduction is worldwide and
drastic measures are necessary" said
Mr. Baruch.
For a good many centuries the
peril of the poor was famine-scarc-
ity of things" he said. at is a curious
paradox that too many things-over-
production-should now be the wolf
at the cottage door. Today we have
business stagnation because there is
more of everything than can be sold
at profit.
"Of course, there is no choice but
to slow down production until con-
sumption catches up. That means
that capital in industry ceases to
earn. People go out of work.
'Why do we have over production
Because by combination and co-ordi-
nation of industry in groupings of
enormous wealth and power we have
become so efficient that we have in
creased production three times as fast
as population.
at may have been sound public pol
icy to forbid by law anything that
looked to regulation of production
when the world was in fear of famine,
but 1T is public lunacy to decree un-
limited operation of a system which
periodically disgorges indigestible
masses of understandable products"

THE FOUNDATION OF LAW

Laws are not made by ukase or by
dictate, but are based upon the pub
lie conscience" said New York State
Supreme Court Justice John F
Carew. in a New York speech.
If every member of organized la
Dor understood this basis of law they
would continuously agitate and edu-
cate.
They would understand that it is
futile to elect lawmakers or select
judges until the foundation for law
is laid This foundation, as Justice
Carew points out, is public conscience.
The public must accept new view
points. Agitation can create such a
public conscience that is greater than
parties or individuals.
Under the kingly system a public
conscience is not necessary-th mon
arch does the peoples thinking. A
democracy can not function when our
foundation Of law is ignored.

OUT-OF-DATE ECONOMIC
THEORIES

The optimistic theory that tech
biological employment releases work
ers for new industries can not stand
analysis.
Automatic machinery can be APP
piled to new industries, as well as
to old The machine-whereve oper-
produces more than can be
consumed.
E. B. Reeser, president American
Petroleum Institute, was recently
quoted that "the depression existing
today in many industries is due to
efficiency.
Barnard NJ. Baruch, New York
banker, stated in Boston recently that
I'VE have business stagnation because
there is more of everything than car
be sold at a profit" He classed as
public lunacy" a system that DEGREES
unlimited production of "indigestible
masses of understandable products"
Henry P. Kendall, president Ken
dali Company, speaking before the
Atlantic Cotton Association meeting
at Augusta, said: "Overproduction
means curtailed employment and re-
duced earnings, and reduced earnings
mean lessened purchasing power. The
new purchasing power should come
first, or industry will choke down. .
he said.
Theodore NJ Knappen, associate
editor The Magazine of Wall Street,
declares that American industry can
easily make in eight months all that
it can dispose of in twelve" and jobs
becomes scarcer and scarcer."
These statements justify organized
labor's claim that hours should be re-
duced and wages increased.
Old slogans Of stand-pat economists
must be junked.
