POWERCONTROL
IS URGED BY
j. 8. BOARD

Sweeping new legislation to
bring electric power holding COM
panies under Federal regulation
is recommended to Congress by
the Federal Power Commission.
Revealing a great concentration
of control over the country's
water power, as found in a special
survey, and admitting that is is
helpless to enforce important
parts Of the law, the commission
said:
"The commission from this
study and its administrative
experience is convinced that
public control Of holding COM
panieS in the power utility field
Is absolutely essential in the
public interest.
"Such control to be adequate
would include the service organ
izatiOns Of these holding COM
panieS, with supervision of all
contracts between holding com.
panieS, and would include regu-
latiOn of accounts with require
mentS providing specifically for

clared today.
Smell took sharp issue with

saying:

Of Senator Robinson and Rep

fault with the leadership of

that he did not have a pro-

Just about as they passed
through congress"
"The President is the only
man either here or abroad who
has made any constructive sug-
geStiOnS for economic relief
that has been enacted into law.
His leadership has been pre-
eminent from the very begin

Congress this session turns out

F. L. Bingswanger, of the

Safety Mike" tells the story:
"It is seldom traffic jams
occur when traffic is moving
on the proper signal, but here
is a condition where the wrong
party gets the blame.
"The signal Is on for north
and south traffic. No. l, vehicle
going north wants to make q
left turn. The street car 90
ing north is stopped, street car
going south is also stopped.
The vehicle going north starts
his left trun and proceeds eau
tiOuSly across intersection.

stop for him to clear the inter
section and in the meantime
the street cars are ready to
proceed.
"The driver noses out and
barely scapeS him and he is
hit by a vehicle going south.
No. 2 gets credit for the jam;
he was legitimately in the in
tersectiOn and the sOuth.bOund
vehicular traffic was reSpOn-
Sible."

How different was this convention

looking backwards. From General
Nolan to the crudest Tammany poll

the bloody exploits in the war for
capitalist profits in 1917-18. This
period was referred to as the good
