seeking loans win not be required
as a condition precedent TO RE-
DUCE AND CURTAIL THEIR
PAYROLL"
This is merely a demagogic appeal
TO voters. II is important because IL
reveals that there has been a solid
conspiracy of banks and industry in
the wage cutting drive that is going
ON now with even redoubled inten-
sity. Before loaning money to in
dustries, banks forced the bosses to
cut the wages Of their workers In
order to insure the repayment Of
loans.
Among the first to make appllca-
ton for loan" from the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation was
the Pennsylvania Railroad. Its action
will be followed by almost all other
roads including, and especially, those
that are on the verge Of bankruptcy.
While the Hoover Hunger govern
ment refuses to give one penny 10
the 100000 unemployed it is ready
to grant two billion dollars to the
financiers, industriansts and railroad
companies This loan" to the rail-
road companies follows the intro
ductiOn by these companies of ten
per cent wage cut with the aid Of the
American Federation Of Labor.
The hook up OF the A. r. Of I,
with Wall st. can be further seer
from the fact that it is among the
forty organizations called into con
ferences by President Hoover to help
the banks and industriausts Of crisis
stricken America. Another organiza-
ton called in is the treacherous Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored Peoples.

LION RUNS RIOT
At BROADCAST

BOSTON, April 29.-King Leo,
8OO-pound Nubian lion, celebrated
his eighteenth birthday here last
night by jumping through two
heavy plate glass partitions in a
radio station on the fifth floor
of a hotel and throwing 200
guests, gathered to watch his
broadcast, into a panic. Five
persons were slightly injured in
the melee.
When Leo, who is the trade
mark lion of a famous film-com-
pany, was first brought into the
broadcasting room, he saw sew
eral staff employees in the control
room.
He leaped at them, crashing
through the glass partition.
Guests were locked in the studio
while the trainer and policemen,
armed with whips, Subdued the
lion and brought him back.
About 20 guests had returned
to witness the end of the per.
formance. The enraged lion saw
them and again ran amuck, tax
ing another plate glass partition
with him. He was finally cor.
nered and returned to his cage.

BOMBING ST|RS
JAP RED FOES

TOKYO, April 20 U.NSJ-The
bomb outrage at Hongkew Park
in Shanghai, resulting in injury
to six high Japanese civil and
military officials, caused a wide
spread sensation here today.
The incident caused responsible
Japanese newspapers to call at
tention to relations between ia
pan and Soviet Russia, due to
the fact the perpetrator of the
bombing is suspected of being a
Korean Communist.
Gen. Sad, } Araki, minister of
war, expressed grave fears that
the incident would have serious
repercussions. He said:
"The Shanghai bombing will
cause ill-feeling in China and
Japan. 1 especially regret the
incident on the eve of the re-
newal of peace negotiations.
Our forces are needed in ShaEg-
hal to curb further outbreaks"
It was regarded as significant
that Tokyo newspapers, which
ignored the anti-Japanese blasts
of the Soviet newspapers Pravda
and Izvestia week ago, sud
denly turned their attention to
Soviet relations as result OF
the bombing.

SHOUTS DOWN

LEADERS
Revolt Strikes Out Plan to
Slash Vocational Funds;
Farm-Labor Pact Urged

The House further riddled
the omnibus economy bill to-
day by striking out a section
that would have prohibited
the Federal contribution to
vocational education.
Representative Clarence Can
non CD of Missouri offered an
amendment to strike out the pro-
hibitive section soon after the
Houses convened and economy
leaders who protested were shout
ed down by Representatives from
farming districts and manufac-
turing sections.
So, when a vote was taken, a
huge majority supported the Can
non amendment. IL. .4
For FarIn.LabOr Pact
The section eliminated provided
that the amount Of the Federal
contribution to vocational educa-
ton be gradually decreased until
entirely abandoned.
Representative LaGuardia (R.)
of New York, supported the Can
non amendment in a speech.
He declared the working classes
OF his district wish to rally to
the support of agricultural sec
tionS knowing that unless there
is cooperation between the labor
ing classes and agriculture both
groups will be exploited by the
very group that is attempting to
saddle the financial burden of
the economy bill on Federal EN-.
ployes.
The House also was ready to
consider reorganization of the
Shipping Board, abolition of the
Army and Navy transport services,
and increases in charges and fees
for Government documents and
services.
Paw Cut Wins ,176 to 159
Regardless of party leadership
the House rejected the President S
furlough proposal 176 to 159
and permitted the plan of the
Economy Committee to remain in
the bill so that pay cut of II
per cent over $2,500 is recon-.
nnended.
In a turbulent night session the
House approved provisions that
require retirement of super.
animated employees, deny extra
pay for overtime, require dis.
charge of married women whose
husbands are in Government ser.
vice before others, and reduce
travel and subsistence allowances
It also approved reduction of

Most savings agreed upon come
directly from Federal employees
and the House has been careful
to avoid adding to its own econ.

(I.N.S.) Dramatic injection
Of Harry Fleischer, of Detroit 8

Harry A. Utterhart, noted at
torney, was named as an inter
mediary through whom communi-
cation could be made. In an in
terview later, Utterhart let out
yelled hint that the message
might have had something to do
with a report that AL Capone
bought the Lindbergh baby from
the original kidnapers for $25, 900.
FleiScher Listening
Left at the broadcast station
by a stranger, the odd message
was sent out after consultation
by radio officials with the attor-
ney.
The unidentified man said:
"FIeischer will be listening in
at IL o'clock sharp tonight"
Such a powerful range did the
broadcast have it could be. picked
up throughout the United States,
in Canada, and at sea. Fleischer
has frequently been mentioned as
being seen with the stolen Lind
bergh baby in Canada or reported
with it in a boat off shore on
the eastern coast.
The broadcast message read:
