 Vertical Union Boosted
 Nevertheless, the organization ot the MIRA is such as to give boos, to the vertical union. Industry 1a now organized vertically. A shor appeals upward to its trade asso. citation and then to its government body above that. There is e strong feeling in the MIRA that labor should be organized along the same vertical plan. instead of on the horizontal plan, cutting across many industries as a single craft.
 General Johnson himself favors this method. though ho insists on labor's right to organize as 1t pleases. The federation has stuck it's toes into this vertical manner of organization by it's new federal unions.
 But the next big labor battle may be within labor's own ranks to determine which style of union Is to be supreme.

 It is, however, c blanket which is constantly changing its textpfc. For, according to Professor Lloyd James, the pronunciation of that important vowel "a" is gradually taking on . cockney tinge. In this respect he says Engiishmcn are be- ginning to talk something like the yernacuIar found in q novel of Dickens.

Old Sol May Turn Cold
 Cheek to Mother Earth
 During Nest Tuo Years
By F. B. COUPON. Associated Press Science Writer


 WASHINGTON, April 22.-A prediction that the sun will be colder for the next two years, with the possibility the earh will be af- feced in way as yet unknown has been issued by the Smithson- ian Institution.
 For the next twenty-four months said Dr. Charles G. Abbot, secre- tary of the institution, the heat that issues from the sun and makes life possible on earth will be some- what below normal. This does not necessarily mean that the earth will have two cold years, for earth ly weather is affected by many in- fluences besides the suns heau. However, it is believed the cold years on the sun must have some effect on the earth, though what it will be is unpredictable.
 Long Distance Forecasts
 Dr. Abbot already has had some success as a predictor of the suns weather" In 1880 he forecast two warm years on the sun, which in general has been fulfilled. Measure ments have shown that the sun has been giving out considerably more heat than normal since then.
 The long range predictions of warm and cold periods on the sun are first steps toward a goal of accurate long-range weather fore

The House this afternoon de- initely rejected the Senate's re-. vision of the beer bill as the measure introduced by Repre- sentative Helierich and ordered it returned to the Senate.
 It was dispatched back to the upper branch with the request that it be handled as a Senate substitute for the House bill and returned to the House for consideration as such.
 As an m n d e d bill the House could only have con- cured or refused to concur in the amendments of the Senate. As substitute bill it will go through the regular procedure of three readings and can be amended by the House.

U. s. President and British Premier Talk Far
 Into Night

Financial and Econo o mic Structure Rec wing
 Closest Attention

WASHINGTON. April 22.-From the first conference between Presi- dent Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Premier Ramsay MacDon- aid, there eme erged mutual understanding of viewpoint clear ing the way possibly for definite progress toward rehabilitating the worlds financial and conomic structure.
 In an earnest talk that stretched far into the night, President Roose- welt and Premier Macdonald ex- plored the entire range of inter- national financial and commercial problems.
 Talk Alone
 The American and British Ex- ecutives talked alone with even their advisors barred.
 Points which were discussed clar- flied the situation, it is said.
 One point was the willingness. on the part of Great Britain to dis cuss stabilization of the world cur rencies on a revised international standard.
 Another point was the yielding by Great Britain to the American view that war debt revision is only one phase in the broad economic picture in which the reduction Of trade barriers bulk large.
 No Emnity Shown
 The refusal on the part of Pre- mier Macdonald to entertain emnity or any thought of retalia- tion because of President Roose- velts gold. standard action, while his guest, was stressed, and there was also a mutual agreement upon the importance of Anglo-American cooperation to end the tragic era of falling prices and widespread unemployment.
 The arrival of former Premier Herriot, of France, which is sched- uled for tomorrow, stirred con- lecture meanwhile as to whether his attitude would prove as con- ciliatory as Premier MacDonald's toward that move. France is the only one of the major nations still clinging to the gold standard.

BILL POSTPONED

By vote of 13 to 3, after it had been scored as not only unneeded but dangerous as well, Echoes bill to provide two-year moratorium on mortgages was indefinitely post poned in the House this morning Not even the author, who had in- troduced it by request, however spoke in defense of the measure
 Representative Taylor and Ner- land, who led the fight on tine measure, asserted it was not need ed anywhere in Alaska. There have been fewer mortgage foreclos- ures in Alaska during the past two years than in the good years" MT Taylor asserted.
 Stop Bank Loans
 The effect of the bill would be merely to stop bank loans and hamstring normal commercial tran sections, MT. Nerland declared. The measure, he added, was dangerous in that it did not require taxes to be paid, nor interest in the indebtedness secured by the mort gage, nor that the property mort gagged be kept in a state of good repair. Under it, it would be pos sible for perfectly sound securities for loans to so depreciate and run down that 1t would be worth less, and taxes and interest unpaid eat up any value it might otherwise have.
 Any person with mortgaged prop erty who kept it in repair, paid his taxes and interest, need have no fear of having to face fore closure proceedings, he added.
 Two Are Recommitted
 Two House measures were re- committed today for amendment One of these provided a seven per cent preferential rate for Alaskans on Territorial projects and purchas- es, and the other, a code amend ment that provided that a wife

SENATE PASSES SIXTEEN BILLS, MOSTLY APPEALS
Only Two New Subjects Covered in l6 Passed
 Today by Senate

Sixteen bills, seven of which re- pealed old laws, seven others amended still others and only two of which are entirely new, were passed by the Senate today and yesterday afternoon. In addition three memorials were passed. The Senate was still in session late this afternoon working on a lengthy calendar.
 One of the memorials, Senate No. 10, appeals to the Interior Department and Office of Indian Affairs to not discontinue the operations of the Indian Service medical boat on the Yukon River. Hears Suspension Planned
 It is declared that the Legisla- ture had been informed the hos pital ship would not be operated this year in order to cut the Medical Relief Service expenses in the Territory by 10 per cent. It is pointed out that the work of the vessel is of vital importance to the Native Indians and isolated white population of Interior AL aska, and that the Service should this summer complete it's vaccina- ton and immunization among the Indian children and that this would not be possible if the boat were laid up"
 The measure passed unanimously and was rushed to the House where similar action occurred today The memorial will be telegraphed 10 Washington.
 DeVane Memorial Passed Senator. DeVanes memorial, as
 amended Thursday by striking
 therefrom reference to the Execu- tive Officer of the Commission, was passed by the Senate 5 to 3, Messrs. Shattuck, Lomen and Bra gaw voting against passage. All three declared they favored the demand of the measure that the administration of game and fur re- sources be turned over to the Territory, but they opposed the sections condemning the Alaska Game Commission itself.
 The third memorial passed by the Senate set up various projects which it is sought to include in President Roosevelt's emergency public works program. Two new ones were added-additiona dredg- ing of the small harbor at Ketchi- kan and a road from Wrangell Jo Wrangell Institute at Shoemaker Bay. These were put forward by Senator Walker

 DEFENSE STORY
One of Strangest Cases Will Go to Trial on Next
 Wednesday

SAN FRANCISCO, April 22- Thomas J. Mooney, who has spent the past sixteen years behind the walls of San Quentin prison after his conviction of participation in the bombing of Preparedness Day parade here July 9, 1916, will go on trial April 26 in one of the strangest cases ever presented to Superior Court.
 Mooney was indicted for the kill ing of each of the ten persons who died after the explosion. He was convicted on one indictment and all but one other was dismissed It is on this indictment, sixteen gears later, he is now to go on trial, fully aware an acquittal cannot affect his previous conviction except in so far as it may create sentiment to have the only person able to give him freedom, the governor, act favorably
 Believes Mooney Innocent
 But District Attorney Nttthew Brady, who long has felt that Moneys conviction was "unJussi- fled" claims that more than like ly he will present no evidence in the case, probably not even any of the testimony given at the pre- vious trial. In spite of this, Leo Gallagher of Los Angeles of the Mooney counsel, said he will pre- sent witnesses to refute t,.e testi- mony of the first Mooney trial, sixteen years ago, although Moon- ey in this case may have no word of evidence against him.
 Brady rests his decision on the ethical theory that district at torney should at. least vouch for the credibility of his witnesses"
 Tn this case there were five principal witnesses" Brady said to- day, Prank c. Oxman, the Oregon cattleman; John MacDorald. now living in Baltimore; Estelle Smith, Nellie Edeau and Sadie Edeau. have never believed Oyman was in San Francisco on J,!ly p, 1916, and he could not have seen Moon ey at Steuart and Market Streets. Although he is now dead, I cannot honestly introduce the testimony that he gave sixteen years ago when I feel that it was then per jured.

.INFLATIONPLAN IS OPPOSED BY
 4 REPUBLICANS
Democrats Confident Pro. gram Will Be Passed
 by House, Senate

WASHINGTON, April 22.-De- nunciation of President Roosevelt's $ plan of controlled imitation was ,s- sued last night over the signatures of four prominent Republican mem bers of Congress, Senators Reed, of Pennsylvania and Walcott, of Connecticut; Representatives Shell of New York and Luce, of Massa- chusettS.
 Objections Made
 The statement said the Presi- dential proposal will cause no per- manent prosperity and vi iol a tes most of the elementary principles of economics and is better designed to defeat than promote business recovery.
 The statement was prepared at conferences attended also by Ogden L. Mills, President Hoover's Sec retary of Treasury, and statedly bore his approval although not ms signature.
 Democrats Hopeful
 Democratic leaders stood on their ground confident of more than enough votes for approval of the program in both the House and Senate.
 To only one provision in the Roosevelt plan pending in the Sen- ate could the Republican leaders subscribe and that was authoriz- ing the Federal Reserve System to buy up three billion dollars worth of government bonds as a means of expanding credit.
 Representative Shell told the newsmen today that so far as he knew, none of the Republicans who joined him in opposition against the imitation program had consulted with Herbert Hoover.
 The Representative said he did know whether Mills had discussed the program with Hoover.
