100 U. S. FACTORIES
IN CANADA PERILED
BY EMPIRE PARLEY
Continued From First Page.)

advantage In supplying and servicing
the steel demands of population con-
centrated 300 miles deep all along the
border than has the United Kingdom,
which, after an ocean haul, must work
straight inland for 5000 miles
1t was understood the steel accord
was making further progress than any
other of the major bargains before the
conference.
TIL unofficial American view express
ed today was that while possible
agreement to grant freer entrance to
British cotton textiles might cut in on
the American trade, it was likely that
women, particularly in Canada, accus-
toned as they are to New York styles
and American magazine advertising,
would be hard to win to British gar
mentS.
On the question of lumber q posi-
bility was seen that Douglas fir and
timbers from Washington and Oregon
might be Disseminated against in IA
vor of that of British Columbia.
Canada and other empire nations
have shown a tremendous interest In
the United Kingdoms annual outside
purchases of $50, 600, ,000 worth of meat,
500 900, 900 of which is represented by
American lard. Pork and pork products
constitute Americas chief meat exports
to the United Kingdom. British trade
figures show q preference for United
States bacon over Canada, but Danish
and IRISH bacon dominate the British
market.
Discuss Russian Dumping.
This afternoon the British and Cana
dian delerations began discussion Of
Russian dumping, particularly with re-
gard to lumber.
Canadian interests contend the 10
per cent preference In the British mar
ket for Canadian lumber is not sufficient
to overcome Scandinavian competition:
but they are more seriously concerned
with the Russian product.
Various reports Of the trend OF the
discussion were circulating. One was
that the British, while offering no con.
crete plan to prevent dumping, mao
given assurance Of their intention to
act. Another report was that the BTU
ish had declined to take any acton.
British headquarters said the latter
version was without foundation.
Meantime discussion concerning dairy
products and meats was practically con-
cluded The present preference on en-
pire dairy products in the British mar
ket Is about 10 per cent. The domin-
ions. it is understood, want that per-
centage maintained as a minimum,
with an increase to Is per cent on Ger
tain dairy products.
The proposal regarding meats, 1t was
reported, is that Great Britain impose
a tariff of 8 cents a pound on foreign
meats, except those from Argentina;
~ cents pound on Argentine meat,
and admit empire meat duty free.
Fruits, cereals and base metals are to
be considered at subsequent CONVERSE
tions among representatives Of the
dominions.

were reported at the Federal Building
today to have completed their investi-
cations Of the incomes Of city officials
named before the Hofstadter Legisla-

The investigation dealt entirely with
the question of whether proper Federal

and had nothing to do with the sources
Of the incomes.
Among others whose incomes were
investigated as to tax payments were
Mayor James J. Walker and former

The mayors friends also made known
that:
Walker consulted with his old politi-
cal ally, ZAP Smith, at one time during
the preparation Of his reply to the re-
moval charges arising from his ques-
tioning by Samuel Seabury.
He talked with John F. Curry, Tam

During the weeks that he labored
over the document upon which his
whole political future may depend, he
had the constant help Of the nine ad-

SENATE INQUIRY TO BEGIN.

President Hoover was advised today
by Senator McNary, Republican, Of
Oregon, that the investigation of the
Federal Farm Board ordered by the
Senate would begin today.
AS chairman of the Senate Agricul-
tural Committee, the Oregon Senator
will head the investigating group. He
said the first step toward the investiga-
ton was put In motion by having Con-
troller General McCarls office conduct
a further investigation of the activities
Of the board since its creation three
years ago.
He said Controller General McCarl,
at his request, today assigned two spe-
cial investigators, one from Tennessee
and one from Wisconsin, to make a
check-up of all that the board has done
to date He said this survey will go
into the most minute details of all the
transactions of the board.
Time Required Uncertain.
Just how long the survey will take
the oregon Senator was unable to in
form the President. He said, however
that when it has been completed the
Investigating Committee will conduct
oral hearings on grievances, with a
view to obtaining all information pos
sible- He was very doubtful If oral
hearings viii be held before November.
During his call at the White House
Senator McNary was asked by the Pres
ident regarding some men from his sec
ton of the country who have been
mentioned for appointment as members
Of the Home Loan Bank Board. Sena-
tor McNary said he had no candidates
Of his own and that he did not feel at
liberty to make public the names OF
those the President asked him about.

ering the sale of securities, foreclosures,
regulation Of the real estate brokers and
the recording and release of deeds Of
trust, all Of which have been passed
by the Senate.
The resolution under which the rent
investigation Is to be conducted was
introduced by Chairman Capper at the
request of the Senate District Commit
tee. 1t was referred to the Audit and
Control Committee on account of the
$500 appropriation called for. 1t was
amended cutting the $4,000 to $2,500,
and then was approved by the Senate.
It is not anticipated that the spe-
cial subcommittee authorized to delve
into the rental situation here will con-
tinue in session, but at the meeting
today the date for the next meeting
probably will be announced. leaving Mr..

ICE COMPANY RANKS SECOND IN
TOTAL OF TAXES PAID IN VALLEY

The largest taxpaying organiza-
ton in Imperial county, outside Of
the railroads, is the Imperial Ice
Ice & development company with
its big ice manufacturing and stor-
age plants at Calexico, Ell Centro
Holtville. and Brawley and Calipat-
ria and other service station prop
perties. 1t is one of the most inn
portant commercial enterprises in
the valley having to do with the
packing and shipping of the vege-
table and dairy products of the I'M
perial Valley. ts
One<of the most important phases
Of the ice company's operations
has to do with its manner of ham

situation. In fact, year ago, last
May, before this problem became
acute in Imperial Valley, the COM

committee, which has done excel

cation of pests in valley crops. Sub
stantial financial assistance was
given to this work by the ice COM
pany and has been continued ever

Last year the ice company dis
bursed total of $3.50, ,792O8 in pay

largely expended by people here
for homes, living expenses and in
making the purchases that are

GROWTH OF VAIL
C0MPANY Is LIKE
THAT OF VALLEY

From a firm in 1920 which en-
ployed Is or 90 people in the pack
ing shed to a business which now
regularly employs more than 100
people during the season, is the
history in brief of the Martin c
Wahl Packing company.
Operating only in Imperial VAL
ley, and centering its shed opera
tions in Ell Centro, the Martin c.
Wahl company has brought its
founder fame as one of the leaders
of the packing industry IN this
section, and reputation for busi-
ness sagacity which explains his
rapid rise in the packing business.
From its small beginnings the
Wahl company has reached a
yearly output of approximately
1900 cars of produce, with a shed
payroll of approximately $4,000
year and a ranch payroll of ap-
proximately 100000 year.
The company. in addition TO
owning its own shed in Ell Centro,
owns, leases and contracts produce
ranches in 1mperiak Valley. The
firm now grows, packs, ships and
distributes lettuce, cantaioupes,
carrots, peas and Watermelons. III
the beginning the firm specialized
as commercial packer of lettuce
and a cash buyer of cantaloupes,
which were bought and mer-
chandiZed.
Martin c. Wahl personally
the business of his firm
in Imperial Vaiiey. In his absence
the business is left in charge OF
w. L. Apple.
While every branch of the pack
ing business in Imperial Valley is
handled by the Wahl company, Of
ficials said cantaloupes and lettuce
furnish the best seasons. Almost
twice as much cantaloupeS as let
tuce are shipped.
Wahl's faith in the future OF
Valley as a fruit and veg
table packing distributing center
is responsible for the gigantic
packing industry which he has
built up here. That officials of his
company believe the future still
holds much in the way of develop
ment for this valley is demon
strated in the undiminished busi-
ness activity of the firm.

without any reduction in wages
or salaries.
Again in September OF 1891 q re-
ductiOn in hours of work for en-
ployeeS of 20 per cent was made,
although the salary reductions for
the workers was only 10 per cent,
which again made it possible to in
crease the number of men employed
by 25 additional employees. Thus,
these two changes made a net in
crease in the number of men en-
ployed in the valley as a whole by
al people, which is a record attain
ed by few organizations during the
present time OF general retrench-
ment.
The Imperial Ice and Develop
ment company has always taken a
keen interest in the cultural as we'll
as the marketing problems that
have arisen in connection with the
agricultural developments of the
valley. This was shown when the
first mildew appeared in the canta-
loupe fields. A. B. West, president
OF the company, came to the valley
