LOCAL MAN LEADS
IN FREIGHT Fight
Representative OF State Rail-
road Board Raps Proposed
Boost in Rates

Washington, Sept. 24.-(P)-Oppon-
ents of q flat freight rate increase
on all commodities began their final
drive Wednesday to halt Interstate
Commerce commission approval Of
the raise.
In command of the opposition were
Senator Brookhart, of Iowa, who has
consistently fought for a lower lawful
return to the carriers; j. E. Benton.
representing the National Association
Of Railroad and Public Utility COM
missioners, and E. M. Hendricks, Bis
marck, traffic expert for the North
Dakota board Of railroad commission
erA
Brookhart and Hendricks argued
against the plea for 15-per cent In
crease from an agricultural view
point. Both contended the farmers
are In no condition to stand higher
rates.
Benton argued railroad rates In
stead OF finances must be considered
and that the roads could not legally
claim the right to blanket increase
because Of q fall in earnings.
Hendricks said the North Dakota
commission believed the railroads had
failed to do their share in reducing
expenses. He said reduction OF rates
would be more plausible at this time
and felt "if producers and shippers
were as well organized as the carriers
this would have been done.
Taxes as we'll as other costs, except
railroad freight rates, have turned
downward during the last two years,
he said.
"A downward revision Of freight
rates would help stem the depression,
he said. 1T Is clearly obvious that
tho railroads have not done Their
share Of cutting costs In this de.

Agriculture DEPARTMENT Seeks
Data on Possible Result
on Farmers
SPECULATION IS STIRRED
Numerous Consequences Held
Possible; May Forecast
Change in Policy
SPECULATION IS STIRRED

Washington, Sept. 24-(PeAnother
official inquiry into the possibilities
Of legalized beer, this time directed
toward the effect on the farmer, Is
being undertaken by the federal gov
ernment.
Secretary Hyde disclosed Thursday
that the agricultural department was
seeking data on how resumption Of
legitimate brewing would be felt on
the farm.
1t will determine how many farm
ers might be employed in raising hops
and barley and other grist for the
vat.
Among those who want to see Presi-
dent Hoover come out for beer-and
many in his party have urged him to
do 50 the news was received with
hope that 1t meant at least an open
mind toward their proposals.
Among those who want the admin
istration and the Republican party to
stay as dry as ever "a and they are
numerous, too-the result was Just
renewed speculation, to which there
was no authoritative answer.
Hyde II Reticent
Those who questioned Hyde direct
ly got little more information than
came recently from Walter Newton,
presidential secretary, who said he
had asked, on behalf Of an outside
source. for census bureau figures on
the number employed IN breweries be.
fore prohibition.
The agriculture secretary said he
had received many requests for In
formation on the much debated point
of beer as q measure OF farm helief.
None of the requests, he said. came
from the white house.
The president might learn Of the
result. he continued, but the returns
would not go directly to him from the
agriculture department.
About the political aspects and
consequences of the inquiry Hyde
would not talk except to concede to
queStioners that some such conse-
quences might ensue.
Congress On Spot
It was congress which set the alco-
holic content of legal drinks at one
half of one per cent. The modifica-
tionists now are talking about three
or four per cent product. The general
agreement Is congress would have to
act again. It meets In December.
How it would respond to q presiden-
tial recommendation Is q matter Of
debate, although under normal con-
ditions, the majority Is conceded to
be heavily against modification.
Action which the American Legion
took at It's Detroit convention certain
ly will get the serious attention Of the
administration and Of the congress
sonal forces of both parties.

ceptance in principle Of Italy's pro-
posal now before the League Of Ma

BAD Faith CHARGE
LEVELEDBY GREEN
AT Big EMPLOYERS
Labor Federation Head Protests
Noncompliance With For.
mer Agreement

Washington, Sept. a. = B "A
charge Of bad faith and unsound
policy was raised against the wage
cutting steel corporation Thursday by
organized labor.
While President Hoover and his
advisers renamed silent but serious
ly intent. William Green, president Of
the American Federation Of Labor.
took the initiative with q public as
sertion that the steel industry had
broken its two-year-old pledge to the
white house.
The labor leader quoted q state
ment made by Julius Klein, assistant
secretary of commerce, that there
will be hell to pay throughout the
United States in the event Of q gen.
eral wage reduction" This, Green
said, was logical and sound conclu-
sion.
All federal economic experts, how
ever, are not agreed as to the final
outcome. From one side have come
predictions that the wage reduction
will strengthen business, increase en-
ployment. In the other camp are ex-
pressions Of regret and forecasts Of q
decreased buying power on the eve Of
|a business recovery.
President Hoover himself has indi-
Gated his chief concern focuses upon
the maintenance Of American living
standards.
Exactly what was said at the white
house was that the presidents anxiety
to maintain the standard Of living has
been consistent and Is unaltered.
It was tp the presidents action In
November. 1929, OF securing anti-wage
lowering pledges from industrial lead
ers, that Green referred In his charge
that the steel industry had violated
its given word.
mo greater blow than this" Green
said. ''has yet been struck against the
forces which have been and are now
serving to bring about return Of
prosperity"
The labor chieftain maintained that
the wage reducing corporations were
the beneficiaries Of high protective
tariff. This protection, he said, was
granted upon the theory it was neces-
sary to uphold the American wage
standard.
1T seems reasonable" he concluded
that since they accepted this favor
and reduced wages, the tariff sched-
ule should be reduced and the special
favors accorded them by the Amert-
can government withdrawn"
Green sided with some OF the gov
ernment economists. II. as stated, the
10-per-cent reduction will save the
United States Steel corporation $685.
600 900, he said, it will likewise mean
the employees Of this concern will
spend that much less for goods.

u. S. Urg,ls Cessation
OF Mat1churiQ Fighting
Secretary Stimson Asks With
drawaI From Present Sit.
uation OF Danger

Washington, Sept. 24.-lReThe
weight of the American government
has been thrown against further hos
tilities in Manchuria.
Secretary Stimson not only has
urged cessation of fighting between
Chinese and Japanese troops, but has
asked withdrawal from the present
situation of danger"
This action of the government.
presumably through the diplomatic
representatives in washington of the
disputing nations, was made known
in a note to the League Of Nations
expressing sympathy with its stand
on the Manchurian situation.
The League, In resolution, had
called upon Japan to halt the ad-
vance of troops into the disputed ter
ritory. It asked the United States to
take similar position.
Replying Wednesday, the American
Secretary of State assured the League
of this governments wholehearted
sympathy"
Urges Withdrawal
"I have already urged cessation OF
hostilities and a withdrawal from the
present situation Of danger" he said,
'and will continue earnestly to work
for the restoration Of peace"
The state department has followed
closely developments In Manchuria
since the outbreak of hostilities last
week. While feeling both the Kel-
log BRAND pact to renounce war and
the nine-power treaty OF 1922 regard
ing principles and policies concerning
China bear on the situation, it has
not sought to invoke either.
The American governments note
was said to be interpreted at Geneva
as meaning the United States Is leav-
ing the door open to possible associa-
ton with the council or will cooper
ate in any other procedure to solve
the dispute.
New Developments Loom
Meanwhile the military situation
in Manchuria had been showed into
the background by other develop
ments in the controversy between
China and Japan.
An authoritative Japanese spokes-
man at Shanghai advised an official
foreign dispatch at Peiping said Chi
nese troops were evacuating Harbin
in anticipation of its occupation by
japanese forces advancing northward
from Changchun, denied japanese
troops had been sent to the Man
churian city.
The spokesman further asserted re-
ports of Russian mobilization in ST.
IBERIA, recounted in the same Peiping
dispatch, were unconfirmed rumors.
A third point of the Peiping report
denied by the spokesman was that a
secret understanding existed BE-
tween Japan and Russia for q divis-
ion of spoils in Manchuria.
Halt Troop Movement
The Peiping dispatch also was con-
trary to action of the Tokyo cabinet
in deciding that no japanese troops
would advance farther north than
ChangcHun.
The "save the nation from perish
ing" association was formed at Han
kow by representatives Of the Kuom-
intang, dominant political party Of
China. the Chamber of Commerce
Labor Unions. the Pheasants' Guild
and Educational associations.
A policy of cooperation with
Japanese was announced by the as
ISOLATION. All Chinese were urged t
refuse to deal with japanese or ever
to furnish them the necessities O.
