DENY TESTIMONY
OF CANNON NEEDED
Nye Committee Chairman
Holds Report Probable After
Other Witnesses Called.

The inquiry into the disposition OF
anti-Smith funds in 1928 by Bishop
James Cannon, jr., could be completed
without either the testimony Of the
churchman or Miss Ada l.. Burroughs,
his treasurer, who has declined to testi-
fly, according to Chairman Nye Of the
Senate Campaign Funds Committee.
Senator Nye late yesterday expressed
confidence that the committee would
be able to make a report TO the Senate
after hearing other witnesses.
When Miss Burroughs refused TO
testify Thursday, Chairman Nye said
that I'VE have evidence here Of a vio-
lation of the corrupt practices act and
1t will be up to Bishop Cannon and
Miss Burroughs whether they testify or
not"
TT is possible" he added, Miss Bur-
roughs may change her mind II she
reaches the conclusion that she is be-
ing sacrificed to protect some one else. :
Tinkham Was Complainant.
Representative Tinkham. Republican,
of Massachusetts, has complained to
Bishop Cannon failed to account for
more than $50 900 of the $65 800 given
to him as chairman Of the Anti-Smith
Committee in Virginia in 1928 by e. G.
Jameson, New York capitalist.
Commenting on this Chairman Nye
said Friday that evidence Is already
before committee that the receipt of
this money was not reported on the
last filing day, January /, 1929. The
subsequent report filed in February
showing receipt Of $1,000 and expendi-
ture of that amount has legal stand
ing, in my opinion"
Senators Dill, Democrat, of Washing
ton and Patterson, Republican, of Mis-
souri,, are now abroad, and Senator Nye
said he would not seek to take any
action until the remaining three MEM
bers OF the committee were present, a
bare quorum. 1t is the belief of the
committee members that Bishop Can
non would take the same position as
sumed Thursday by Miss Burroughs, In
refusing to testify.
the authority of the committee and the
constitutionality of the corrupt practices
act quoted the same authorities as did
the statement of Miss Burroughs In
making q similar challenge.
Contempt Action Delayed.
While Chairman Nye is determined
to cite Miss Burroughs to the Senate
for contempt. he said he would not seek
any action in this direction until later.
The Senate does not reconvene until
December. The committee members
emphasized to Miss Burroughs she was
making herself liable to prosecution.
Before any prosecution could be start
ed. the Senate would have to have
formal notice of the case. 1t Is the
opinion of some that the Senate would
have to adopt resolution citing Miss
Burroughs for contempt before referring
her case to the courts.

on one subject-the anticipated express
sion on war debts.
For three days this controversial Ques-
ton has been the subject of conferences,
overshadowing even tariff, although the
latter, particularly as it concerns the
American set-up. has been the object OF
attack OF numerous speakers.
Both Georges Theunis of Belgium, re-
firing, president and Silas II. Strawn,
head OF the American delegation, pre-
dictEd harmonious final session, with
little or no hard feelings that might
possibly arise in drafting the resolution.
Whether anything would be said on
Russian relations was another matter
OF speculation. This Question was
shelved early in the congress.
The special Committee which had
| drafted TIE si.verNconference resolution
had authorized the formation Of a group
TO work unoficially TO see that its terms
are complied with and demand that a
conference be called.
The group is composed of Senator
Pittman. Democrat Nevada. chairman
! OF the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, which has been studying the
silver question: Senator King. Demo-
crat. Utaf4; Arthur Prichard OF Tacoma,
Wash. and Montague Ferry OF Salt
Lake City.
Confident ~ Conference.
| King. who directed the course OF the
resolution. expressed confidence 1t
would result in the calling of an inter-
national conference.
He expressed little hope that Presi-
| dent Hoover would call the conference,
in view Of the Presidents failure TO act
on a similar resolution passed by the
Senate, but said II neither the United
States nor Great Britain call 1t. the in
vitations might be issued by Canada,
| China or Japan
Resolutions indorsing futures trading,
which the legislative bodies In some
countries now are attempting 10 re-
strict, and covering the subject OF most
favored treaties also were due
up.
Besides taking up the resolutions, the
final session was to hear a radio ad
dress from Berlin by the incoming
President, Franz Won Mende,ssohn, and
closing speech by NJ. Theunis.
Several group meetings were held this
morning.

OF c. WILL WOO
LATIN REPUBLICS
Resolution for Expansion
Follows Tilt With Chill
can Delegate.

Expansion of membership and activi-
ties BIZ inc international Chamber Of
Commerce In the Latin American re-
publics was called for in ~ resolution
adopted by grmp session yesterday
afternoon, after the session had been
stirred temporarily by the withdrawal
of BENJAMIN Cohen of Chile, author of
the resolution. who charged he had
been discourteously treated by Joseph
Sachs of Sweden, chairman.
Cohen's withdrawal was occasioneo
by ruling by Sachs that his proposal
was out of order in that meeting, which
had under discussion new commercial
policies.
Agitated by the turn Of affairs,
friends went to Cohen, assured MIN
that there had been "misunderstand-
ing and he returned to the conference,
completed his speech and presented the
resolution.
Cohen is the sole Latin American
delegate at the congress, as his coun-
try Is the only one Of the southern re-
publics in the chamber.
Another Tariff Attack.
The same group conference also heard
another attack on American tar1n by
Henry Bell, London banker, who de-
scribed tariffs as 1.-The intrusion INTO
economic we'll being Of the cannon ana
the machine gun, the high explosive, the
poison gas"
Bell wondered "if it is too late to
change our direction and make the
great experiment of the free exchange
OF the products of all nations"
Henry D. Sharpe. Providence manu-
factlIrer. however defended the tartn,
and pointed to its principle Of fiexibility.
At a conference on mass production,
wallace B. Donham. dean OF the Grad
uate School of Business Administration
of Harvard University. said Russia was
the only country that has solved the
unemployment problem, although, ne
added he has no sympathy for the ma
ior objectives" of her economic system.
Soviet Russia" he said, passes 1ts
man power from the production OF
cauital to the production of goods
for immediate use or to the pro-
duction of things, needed by the
community and does this without any
problem of unemployment. The rest
of the world must eeek the answers
to the problems of unemployment in
these same three variables, for they
are the only ways that men can work.
Another speaker at this session was
Edward A. Filene of Boston. banker
and economist. who said that "scien-
tific mass production is reshaping the
business world and Is the greatest
practical force to compel reduction OF
tariff barriers and other obstacles In
the coming together of the nations.
Mass production not only makes
rriceS as low as possible, but makes
wages as high as possible" he said.
wages can go higher and higher only
II production is constantly increased
and If production is constantly IN.
creased wages must go higher ana
higher, 30 that wage earners Will nave
the buying power to purchase tne
then have TO be sold.

TRUCE IS EXPECTED
IN KENTUCKY MINES
Coal Operators and Strikers
to Arbitrate Differences,
1t Is Believed.
BY the Associated Press.


HARLAN, KY, May s.z-Three
agencies today continued their efforts
toward solution of troubles in the
Harlan County coal fields.
Col. Dan M. Carroll, commanding
officer of troops here to preserve order,
and his STAFF visited communities sur
rounding Evarts, the storm center, to
study conditions in general.
A special Harlan County grand jury
concentrated upon an investigation Of
shootings, burnings, explosions and gen.
eral unrest growing out of the mine
trouble.
Union miners seeking unionization Of
the field met at Evarts to discuss their
problems and consider possible solu-
tons.
Col. Carroll said he had encountered
a willingness on the part of both opera
tors and miners to cooperate. He said
he believed both factions were tired"
of conditions as they exist, and that
their differences would be arbitrated
soon.
Troops Aid Situation.
Since Tuesday. when four persons
were slain, there have been no out
breaks, but a general feeling Of unrest
and apprehension prevails. The ar
rival of more than 800 National Guards
men Thursday had quieting influence.
Business adversities are blamed by
mine workers and owners as the I'M
derlying factor in the strife.
A depressed coal market and high
freight rates from the Harlan fields
were given as principal reasons for
wage establishments and irregularity OF
work An attempt to unionize the field
was made, and a definite breach be-
tween operators and workers followed.
Harlan never has been a regularly
unionized field. The mines, it was said.
were operating at a profit until about
three years ago. The miners were
satisfied Union members were en-
ployed and are still working in many
mines. but not recognized as such.
Many of the operators, 1t was said,
would prefer to close their mines rather
than recognize the unions.
Oppose gifted Gunner"
Representatives of the miners said
they felt the men should be allowed
to unionize. They characterized the
guards as "hired gunmen." who were
causing all the friction by bully
ing" attitude. They said there were
no Communists here and the union
men did not want them.
They declared that commissaries
where men bought goods from the COM
panies charged higher prices than other
stores. The operators have denied
this, saying their prices compare with
any stores except chain stores. They
said the commissaries have aided the
men In times of partial unemployment
by advances of about 81 per DAY.
