MINERS REAFFIRM
LEWIS OPPOSITION
Illinois District Votes to Continue
Writ Against His Inter
ference.
Nv the Associated Press.


SPRINGFIELD Ill, February 81
Opposition to International President
j. L. Lewis of the United Mine Work
ers of America was reaffirmed today by
the Illinois district of the organization
in voting to continue enforcement OF
an Injunction restraining him from in
terfering in Illinois union activities.
Delegates to the International Union
Convention in Indianapolis month
ago had asked the injunction be lifted,
but the district scale convention de-
feated the proposition today without
roll call.
Lewis. a former Illinoisan, was at
tackled by several speakers, with dele
gates from three counties only voting
in favor of lifting the injunction. State
President John H. Walker told the con-
yention. which was called to make
plans for forthcoming wage negotla--
tions with operators, that removal OF
the Injunction would result in loss OF
autonomy to the Illinois union. Gerry
AlIard, delegate from West Frankfort
asserted the request Of the Internatlon-
al Convention for dissolution was dc
tated by the Lewis political machine; :"
The Injunction was obtained by IL
linois leaders in a dispute two years
ago with Lewis.

COUNTY
TO BORROW S14O,0OO
Funds Will Keep Schools Open
and Run Departments
Until April |.
By a stan Correspondent of The Star.


ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, February 27.-The Arling-
ton County Board voted unanimously
tonight to borrow 100000, and au-
thorized the School Board to negotiate
an independent loan for an additional
$4,000, to pull the county out OF its
temporary financial rut as result Of
the reported S275,00O shortage in the
accounts of E. Wade Ball, former county
treasurer.
Action was taken at special meet
ing, called by Harry A. Fellows, chair
man of the board, for the specific pur-
pose of raising an emergency fund to
finance county activities until an audit
of Balls accounts is completed. The
$4,000 to be borrowed, it was an
nounced, will keep the public schools in
operation and enable other county de-
partments to operate without interrupt
ton until April /.
Both loans will be negotiated through
banks which offered to come to the
county's aid to the tune OF interest at
the rate ii per cent.
Aside rom the $4,000 which the
school board will borrow Immediately
to meet its February pay roll OF $20,-
900 and care for other current ex-
penSeS, Thomas j. De Lashmutt, chair
man, revealed that it already has taken
definite steps to float a second loan

Says. Ali American Residents

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Japanese representative at
the League of Nations Council at
Geneva has submitted a proposal
to settle the Shanghai conflict by
establishing a neutral zone about
the city to be occupied by the
troops of the great powers. A
similar proposal was contained in
the ultimatum rejected by the
Chinese when the big japanese
offensive was launched.
The American commercial at
tache at Toxic predicted in a
report to Washington that the
operations in China would seri-
ously aggravate Japan's already
strained financial situation"
The dogged Chinese garrison
still clung this morning to their
machine, gun positions in the
ruins of Kiangwan, pivotal point
of the Shanghai-Woosung battle
front toward which both Japanese
and Chinese rushed reinforce
ments for a decisive battle.
Gunners Harass Food Bearers.
The japanese announced they finally
had succeeded in taking the village, but
an Associated Press correspondent es-
tablished on a tour of inspection that
the Chinese defenders still were hold
ing out.
Supplies were being carried in to
them through a narrow communication
line to the rear. Men bearing food and
ammunition were harassed by jap
anese machine gun fire from both sides
as they hastened through the meek OF
the bottle"
Two japanese troop ships, the first
of a feet bearing reinforcements from
Japan, arrived off the Woosung forts.
Gen. Tsai Ting-Kai, Chinese COM
mander, announced that the Marking
government had sent two more di-
visions to reinforce his 10th Route
Army.
Assign Concentration Points.
United States consular officials in
Shanghai assigned all American resi-
dents to concentration points for use
in case it became necessary to evacuate
the city.
In Toxic it was learned on high au-
thority that Japan is ready to use her
air force and her navy in interior
China to prevent the Chinese from re-
inforcing their troops at Shanghai.
The navy will be ordered to stop

LEADERS PREDICT
PROBE Of STOCKS
Watson, Terming Inquiry In
evitabIe, Would Confine 1t
to Short t-SeIIing.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The long awaited and often promised
investigation Of the New York Stock
Exchange, particularly Of "short-sell-
ing" activities, is about to take place.
Republican and Democratic members
of the Senate Banking and Currency
Committee yesterday, after prelimi-
nary hearing of Senators who have Of
fered resolutions for such an inquiry
declared themselves in favor of it.
The committee is to meet again
Tuesday and at that time may definitely
outline course Of inquiry, act on a
resolution of investigation and then call
on the Senate to give full powers for
carrying 1t out.
Probe Called Inevitable.
Among those who declared an in
quiry inevitable were Senators Watson
of Indiana, Republican leader Of the
Senate; Norbeck of South Dakota
chairman of the Senate Banking Com
mittee; Duncan U. Fletcher of Florida
and Cordell Hull of Tennessee, both
Democratic members of the committee
There is sure to be an investigation, -
said Senator Watson. THE only queS-
ton is the scope. Personally, I am in
favor of keeping it confined to short
selling"
The Indiana Senator said he believed
the inquiry should deal with the short
selling of commodities as well as Sc
curities.
THE stock market is controlling
business these days, not business the
stock market" continued Senator Wat
son. If the market is being used to
keep business down, then the country
is entitled to know it and to know the
practices of the market which are used
to keep business down. I am in favor
OF going right into the thing now. But
l believe more can be accomplished by
confining the Senate committees in
vestigation to short-selling than by
covering such a wide field as that pro-
posed in the resolution offered by Sen
ator Walsh Of Montana. for example.
Proposes ventilation"
I'VE might well wind up an investi-
cation of short selling within three
weeks, but if we undertook to make an
investigation Of all the causes which
brought about the business depression,
including the short selling OF securities
1t would take us all Summer to get
through"
Senator Cordell Hull expressed the
opinion that a thorough ventilation of
the whole matter of short selling would
be beneficial. He pointed out the peo-
pie have been told that short selling
was keeping business down and retard-
ing economic recovery. They are en-
titled to know the facts, he said. Un-
doubtedly, he added, there have been
short-selling practices by groups of op-
orators, designed to beat prices down
below actual values.
Senator Fletcher Of Florida took
much the same view of the matter as
Senator Hull. Just what Congress
could or should do about the matter of
short selling, however, the members of
the Senate committee were not agreed
upon. If legislation should follow the
proposed inquiry it might be predicated

The government is expected to sign
