Barking Snakes
And Roaring Fish

Washington. - Barking snakes:
roaring fish and ~squeaking ants
keep life from becoming dull for
Indians in the Choco, a strip OF
jungle land in northwestern Col
ombia.
Strange tales of this weird coun-
try were told today by DR.. W. A
Archer, botanist, who brought
back plants and theological mater
ial for the National Museum.
The natives told Archer about
the huge reptile which spends mos
of the day coiled about a tree. Az
night it barks like a dog. 1t il
not considered poisonous and is moi
feared by the Indians.
The botanist actually saw ane
heard the noisy fish. 1t is of the
salmon family and at the height Of
migration during the dry month
the fish appear to be a solid mas
in the Atrato River.
At the first roar the Indians ans
negroes go fishing. The noise wa
described by. DR.. Archer as elk
the roar of an airplane coming un-

stranded miles away from home
come under the committees atten-
ton in paragraphs urging that such
carriers be forced to obtain a licen-
sc to show proper financial respon-
sibility for protection Of passen-
gers and public, and to meet condi-
lions required of other carriers.
State legislation parallel to that
for interstate highway commerce
is suggested, with the automobile
concerns subjected to all the res
traints now imposed in most states
upon carriers engaged in interstate
commerce. Iiele again, however,
the railroads and the highway users
split on the question of rate regula-
ton, the highway users insisting
that the necessity for such rate
regulation must first be shown "if
and when sufficient data have been
collected to indicate its desirable
ity."
Two significant paragraphs in
the report, dealing with motor We
hcle operation by railroads and
grade crossing elimination, are as
follows:
opportunity should be given
for rail carriers to engage, either
directly or through subsidiaries, in
motor vehicle service on highways
on equal terms with all others and
without discrimination Neces-
sary notifications of antitrust
laws should be made for this pur-
pose"
Estate laws requiring railroads to
make capital expenditures for grade
crossing elimination should be
repealed Each case should be
considered on its merits and (if a
crossing is to be eliminated) the
division of the cost should be de-
termined jointly by the Public Ser
vice commission and the Highway
commission of the state"
The report is signed by Ger. w.
W. Atterbury, chairman for the
railroad executives, and Alfr+d H.
Swayne, chairman for The high
way users.
1t is hoped, they say, TINT furth-
er conferences will eliminate even
the present differences between the
two transportation agencies.

Special Group
Makes Report
Partial Solution OF Clash OF
Interests Seen In Reeommen-
dations OF Committee

The clash of interests between
Americas two principal transpor-
cation competitors, the railroads
and highway users, reached a par
tial solution in the report of a joint
committee representing both sides
of the controversy, after three
months study of the problem in
New York.
Full agreement between the con-
ficting interests has been reached
on questions relating to taxation,
reciprocity, coordination of high
way administration and grade
crossing separations.
Rate Regulation
No agreement has been reached
on rate regulation and the length
and weight of vehicles engaging in
Interstate commerce over the ma
tion's highways
Both railroad executives and lead
ing highway users agree that com
mon carriers on highways should
be under the jurisdiction of the In
terstate Commerce commission, and
should be required to obtain certi-
fcates of public convenience and
necessity" The financial response
bility for all such companies should
be established, the report says. for
the protection of passengers, ship
pers and the general public.
The railroads and highway users
differ sharply on the question Of
rate regulation, the former holding
that adequate requirements should
be imposed 49,. to insure just
and reasonable rates and proper in
hibition against undue discrimina-
tion," while the latter stipulate
that this should wait until sufficient
data have been collected ''to indi
cate the desirability of such regu-
lation in the public interest"
On the other hand, the highway
users agree they should abide by
certain recommendations of the
Interstate Commerce commission
providing hat such companies shall
be required to have a permit, liabil-
ity insurance, open bookkeeping
and financial records, and that they
should make regular reports of
their operations to the commission.
They also quote the commission
as saying that "there is substantial
ly no demand for public regula-
ton of the charges of motor trucks
to protect shippers against exorbi-
rant or discriminatory charges"
Both sides agree that in the in
terest of public safety, require
ments as to qualifications and hours
of service for drivers as prescribed
by regulatory authority, should be
observed.'
1t is also agreed that private pas
senger vehicles and private carriers
should not be forced to obtain a
permit from the federal authori-
ties, unless engaged in transporting
property manufactured by others,
or in transporting passengers on I
"share-expense or other irregular
fare basis"

ILLUSION:
In this startling trick, the magician seemingly pushes a huge
threaded needle through the body of an assistant, pulling the
needle out the other side, followed by the thread.
EXPLANATIONS:
Under the clothes of the victim is a pipe, extending around one
side of his body from front to back. The needle, which is flexible,
is inserted in the front end of the pipe, is carried around the
body and energies from the pipe in back. This operation is per-
formed so quickly that the audience does not notice that the
needle and thread are momentarny shortened during the act.

American bankers who ruled Cuba
under Machado and who now have
powerful connections with the San

Investigating Committee decided to-

This decision came after the Sen

Revealed at Fur

"Officers of ALL. Fur

frame-up tactics of the fur bosses
IN their attack upon the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union was
revealed yesterday in testimony given
during the injunction trial brought
against the union by the bosses and
their allies, the A. F. of L. officials
CT the Joint Council"
Nathan FREEMAN, called to the
stand after repeated demands from
the lawyers representing the fur
workers that the plaintiff produce
some Officers" of the non existent
A. F. Of L. union, claimed to be
president of the organization. He
admitted that he had been president
only three weeks, and professed alb
solute ignorance of the affairs of the
union before that time.
Workers who had been the victims
Of the A. F. of L. and bosses gang
sters took the stand all afternoon,
at the Supreme Court, Part ", Room
208, Center ST., where the trial is
being held. The courtroom was
filed to capacity with fur workers
who had been through the struggles
of the past months. Extra benches
were moved into the aisleS, and many
failed to secure entrance to the
courtroom. An attendant told the
Daily Worker reporter that he had
nCs seen such g. crowd to witness a
trial in his seventeen years in the
Surreme Court.
A Greek fur worker, Pappas, told
Of threats which were made to him
to induce him to join the A. F. of L.
union, and of an attack by gangsters
when he was beatsn and slashed
with knife. The cut just missed
his jugular vein, and required four
teen stitches. Questioning by coun-
sci for the fur workers brought out
the fact that the gangsters at that
time were defended in court by
Markowich, law partner of Null, the
attorney who represents the A. F.
CT L. plaintiffs in this case.
Null attempted several times to
drag the red scare" into the proceed
ings. He referred again and again
to the fact that the N. T. w. I. U.
is affiliated with the Trade Union
Unity League.
At one point In the trial the Judge
told the fur workers lawyer that he
didn't like his attitude" and told
him he was not out on the steps of
the courthouse making a speech to
others of his own kind" Motion for
mistrial made by the defense was
q enied. The judge frequently
prompted the plaintiffs lawyer with
suggestions for improving his case.
The defense announced that when
court reopens Monday morning it will
call witnesses to establish connection
between the gangster attacks, includ-
ing the raid on the union headquar-
tiers last April when worker was
murdered and many others wounded,

on board were about the worst in
the Merchant Marine - rotten food
starvation wages a pounds per month
for sailors and 4.l0 for firemen,
equivalent to $l8-$20 il American
money!. The crew was discor .ented
and militant. But there was no or

grievances. Last Saturday a member
Of the MWIU. went on board and
spoke to the members Of the crew.
He spent five hours in the seaman's
quarters, At the end of his visit, a
ship committee was elected. Backed
100 per cent by the rank and file,
they declared a strike on Monday and
presented q petition to the captain
OF the vessel and the owners.
The ships officers attempted to
break the strike by threatening to
deport the sailors, and tried to get
scabs but we're thwarted in this at
tempt by the Unemployed Councils of
the waterfront. The strike was set
tied Thursday, after captain K. Fill
arets added his name to the petition,

granted. l6 members of the crew Of
