DEPOSTTORS TO
DEMAND SAVINGS
Send Committee Of 5
= to Albany

NEW YORK.-At a meeting at the
Has Building Sunday of the execu-
tive committee of Is Of the United
DepositorS Committee, representing
more than 10000 small depoSitors in
the defunct Bank Of the U. S., a
group of was elected to present the
demands of the 100000 small depoSi-
tors to Governor Roosevelt in Albany.
Those elected to go were Litman,
Greenbaum, Yellin. WalIn and
Cohen.
The demands that will be presented
are: ID Immediate return Of the
savings of small depositors in full;
20 floating of a state loan to repay
the small depositors; ~ criminal
proceedings against those responsible
for the inside bank robbery of the
Bank OF the U. S; "a no evictions
of depositors who cannot pay their
rent. ~'-
1t was decided to have local meet
ings of depositors in the public
schools in>au boroughs. Further an
nouncements will be carried in the
Daily Worker of the time and place
of these meetings.
On Saturday, over 1000 depositors
met in Webster Hall to listen to a
report of the committee on a meet
ing with Acting Mayor Corrigan. 1t
was decided unanimously at this
meeting to organize all the depositors
for mass demonstrations to demand
the return of the savings of small
depositors. 3
At a meeting of 1000 small de-
positors in Brooklyn, at 400 Stone
Ave. it was unanimously decided to
affiliate themselves with the United
5itors Committee and fight with
them for the demands aS1pted by
other small depositors
At meeting of depositors of the
Harlem Branch Of the closed Chelsea
Bank, a committee Of five was elected
to call mass meeting and organize
a fight for the return of theiF' de-
posits in full W. ~
At the meeting it developed that
many Negro fraternal organizations
had lost their funds in the failure of
the bank, and will be unable to meet
demands for sick and death benefits,
It also became apparent that many
of the Negro bourgeoisie had been
tipped off and had withdrawn their
money the day before the crash.
In order to hide the grating
amounting to 100000 which wreck
ed the Consolidated Indemnity and
Insurance Co., one of the fake Or
CARNATIONS formed by the Bank OF
the United States to fleece the
workers, whole series of deals are
being attempted in the Federal
Court. The leading figures in this
company were Tammany henchmen
Foremost among them was none
other than Al Smith, William F.
Kenney and John F. Gilchrist - all
millionaires, and part of their mil
lions comes out Of the Bank of the
United States and out of the pockets
of the 100000 small stockholders who
are left holding the bag -'----...-,-'-

WATSON LIKELY
TO Be SPARED
SENATE REBUKE
Untavorable Publicity Seen
Only Penalty for linn in
Sugar Scandal.

81 tines Special
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. - Sem
stor James E. Watson probably will
escape from the senatorial sugar
scandal with nothing more than
the unfavorable publicity which has
attended the expose Of the senate
lobby committee.
There was today no indication
that any steps would be taken here
to censure the Indiana senator for
The financial transactions which
netted him 500 shares of now value
less stock in holding company
controlled by sugar interests.
Although evidence submitted to
the lobby committee proved that the
Indianian paid no money for the
stock he received, no direct testi-
mony was offered to show that the
stock deal had any bearing on leg
islation before the senate.
Probers Lack Authority
Senator Thomas r. Walsh Dem,
MONTH and Senator John J. Blaine
Rep, Wis.,, who conducted the
hearings, consider that the lobby
committee does not have the power
10 inquire into or report of any
matters where lobbying activities
are not involved.
No date has been fixed for the
next session Of the lobby committee
which adjourned Tuesday, after
hearing testimony for two days.
The question of senatorial eth
ics, alone, is raised by critics of the
Indiana veteran, and there is but
one step which could be taken to
repudiate his acts-a public vote of
Censure.
Bingham Censnre Recalled
Such move was regarded here
as highly improbable. Watson has
many friends and few enemies in
the senate.
Only once in this century has the
senate resorted to q vote Of censure
against one OF it's members. That
was last year when Senator Hiram
Bingham of Connecticut was con-
demned publicly for hiring lobby
list as his secretary and allowing
MIN to sit in on secret committee
hearings where the tariff bill was
being framed.
The question OF ethics is raised
against Watson on two points:
Stock Deal CHARGED
First, he was chairman of the
seante committee on interstate
commerce in 1927 when he accepted
employment as an attorney to set
Tie rate refund litigation which his
client had against certain railroads.
The interstate commerce commit
tee passes on all railroad legisla-
ton.
Second, in August, 1929, B. G.
Dahlberg, Chicago sugar king"
negotiated the stock transaction
which resulted the cancellation of
Watson's personal notes aggregating
$250 900 and gave the Indianian
clear profit of 500 shares of COM
mon stock in the Dahlberg Corpora
ton Of America.
At that time Watson was senate
leader and a. member of the sub
committee of the senate finance
committee, which then was striving
to determine how high to fix the
tariff on sugar.

Hoover Is Going

Now that that's over, we are
sorry to relate we heard before
leaving Washington that Lou
Little's injury at Columbia while
demonstrating how a tackle
should be made, is far more
serious than originally reported.
Instead of a dislocated collar
bone, we understand Lou has
fractured a vertebra in his neck
and that some time will elapse
before he will be available to
his team.
The newspapers are carrying
a story that President Hoover
will attend the first Philadelphia
game of the world series next
Monday and if you have fol-
lowed the Hoover baseball tend
ency, you will admit this is a dis
tinct advantage to the Mackmen
in that particular game, and
perhaps for the series.
Since Mr.. Hoover became the
Chief Executive he has seen five
baseball games, in all of which
the Athletics have not only
participated, but won. Mr..
Hoover has seen two season
openers in Washington, two
world series games in Philadel-
phia and one midseason game
in the Capital.
You'll have to excuse us now,
for we've got to go across the
Pullman isle and help Nick
Altrock out with a crossword
puzzle which seems to have him
both cross and cross-eyed.

Wnen everyone was counting on
Grove for the opener and then
Connie showed in Howard Ehmke
who'd been laying off all season,
When he went into the box, the
experts didn't recognize Ehmke.
They couldn't even spell him.
So we are busy pondering-
and. boy, you ought to see me
when I ponder-what kind of a
tomato surprise the old chef will
dish UP this year. We've been 60
ing over all the persons that have
been missing a year, like Judge

important witnesses, ETC., and try
ing to pick out the. one that Con
ME will start. My own guess is
that he will start Charley Ross,
who has been missing for 80
years.
If Connie Mack is going to
4 make this world series another
mystery show, the Cards only
chance is to sign up Thurston,
the magician, and give Gabby
Street, the series off.
Should Start Grove
At that. don't know why the
old boy can't lay down his wand
and just start Lefty Grove. Of
course, the experts will holler that
that is just what the Car0s are
expecting, but won't that do the
Cards a lot of good!

vantage in expecting Lefty
Grove and then getting him,
they're welcome to it. Or if
Connie did cross them and
started EarnShaw, the results
would probably be the same.
That's just the same as a guy
waiting to go to the electric chair
and then the warden comes in
and says they amt going to elec-

, hang him instead. If that's what
you call relief, I've been paying
dues to the wrong Red Cross.
