The request is from Rep. Fred A

speech in the house, said he would
call upon Hull to ask for "his recall
from the United States because OF
his personal opposition to legisla-
ton that was pending before the
American congress"
Britten said that a British subject

WASHINGTON, April 81. =
Propellors of commercial airmail
planes, stilled by order of Post
master General James A. Farley on
February 9, will whirl again be-
fore the end of the month, postal
officials promised today as they
began consideration of bids on
temporary contracts for II months.
Z Examination of the As bids show
ed that all competing airlines had
offered to renew operations at
lower rates than were paid under
their former contracts.
Routes on which the post Of
flee department fixed maximum
rates of from Al to As cents per
mile were bid at prices so low
that Farley and his aides ap-
peared astounded. In one instance,
an independent company which
never held a government contract
offered to operate between Chicago
and New Orleans for 171a cents
a mile.
"a considerable saving to the
government is assured by these
bids, Farley said. '"The competi-
ton appeared to be keen and
bonafide"
Airline executives expressed sur
prise at the offers submitted by
E. l.. Cord, wealthy automobile
and aircraft manufacturer, whose
companies operated dozen major
routes before their contracts were
cancelled.
American Airlines, Inc, principal
Cord company, was underbid on all
but one Of seven routes on which
it submitted offers. It's low bid of
33 1-3 cents on the Boston-New-
ark route was uncontested. Under
former contracts, the Cord con-
Germs were paid an advance of
381s cents.
The bid openings caused con-
gressional airmail developments to
fade into the background. The
senate continued debate on the
controversial Black-McKellar bill.
1t agreed to limit speeches after
5 p. M, April 26.
A $5,00O,0O0 appropriation for
purchase of new planes for the
army and for an investigation of
the army air corps was approved
and sent to the house for final
action.

lice today said Leon Trotzky's
Fourth Internationale," designed

death blow when his deportation

They predicted that any country

WORKERS PRESENT
 RELIEF DEMANDS
Formal Applications to Be Made at City Hall MOn-
 day Morning

Single men and women without employment, who have been or ganizing forces to compel the city to esta blish a relief fund for them, have been advised to present them- selves at the City Hall Monday morning to make a formal demand for aid to the public welfare de- partment. Charles Campbell, com munist leader who outlined his fourteen point relief program and his idea of social legislation to the aldermen twice during the past two weeks, stated today that hav- ing waited for one week for city officials to decide upon a course of action the white collar" applicants will now take definite action.
 Tonight a meeting of the Steel and Metal Workers union, of which MT Campbell is the organ izer, will meet at 1S6 Cherry street to adopt final plan for relief de- mands. Last week, according to MT Campbell, the white collar" work CTS accomplished a victory by hav- ing a schedule of weekly work, ten hours in duration at the rate of 50 cents, hourly, established.
 It is the claim of MT Campbell that the city officials have had am- pie time to study the 14-point re- lief program submitted and that tonight,s session is called for the purpose of having a final method of procedure decided upon. The group will make a formal demand on Monday for relief for single men and women and, if denied imme- diate action, will start picketing the municipal building as na exn ample of their formal prot

HARMONY MISSING
 IN HOUSE FIGHT
Speakership Candidates Make Sectional Strug-
 gle Out of It
RY EpWARD w. LEWIS

Washington, December IA = (UP) Sectionalism in the fight for the house floor leadership de- veloped today as a serious menace to democratic party harmony In the next congress.
 Bitterness left by tho struggle between half a dozen leading aspir- ants may add to the real difficult ties in keeping the unruly majority, with its imitation and bonus blocs. in hand.
 A north-south controversy, with sectionalism dangers arose with entrance of Rules Committee Chairman William Bankhead, d., Ala, into the race. The Tammany issue was another danger point.
 Bankhead, and three representa- tives from the east, John J. O'Con- nor, N. Y., James W. Mead, N. Y, and John Mccormack, Mass, stood out as candidates.
 The Illinois delegation added to the preponderant support of Rep Joseph w. Byrns, d., Tenn, for speaker last night when the states 21 votes were pledged to him at a Chicago meeting.
 O'Connor claimed today he had 72 votes assured outside of New York and Pennsylvania. Martin L.. Kennedy, d., N. Y., supporter of O'Connor predicted nearly all of New York's 29 votes would go for O'Connor, who already has been assured some Tammany support.
 Mccormack is expected to have almost the solid support of New England democrats. Mead forces claim strength in Pennsylvania, New York and West Virginia.
 Domination of southern demo- crats on committee posts has brought demands that the leader ship go north, but Bankhead is believed assured of support from several individual northerners. At the same time he hopes for much of the solid south vote.
 Other candidates who will play a leading part in the fight include John Rankin, Miss, Arthur Green wood, Ind, and possibly Clarence Lea, Cal, although the latter is not formally in the race.
 The democratic caucus to pick a speaker and leader will be held January 2, the day before congress meets. It probably will not re- wise the caucus rule, providing for elimination of all candidates ex- cept the two leading in votes, after the first ballot.

UNUSUAL CASE
 SETTLED HERE
Stipulation Agree m e n t Made for Litchfield
 Teacher

An unusual case came to the at- tention of the local compensation court today when the claim of Anna Hausman of Litchfield, a school teacher, against the Town of Litchfleld was settled by stipuia- ton agreement. The teacher claimed an infected finger which required medical attention, was caused by contact with some of the pupils in the school who were af- fiicted with Q skin disease called "impetigo contagiosa".
 She set up in her claim that she was changing a tire on her auto mobile on Dec 15, 1888, when she cut the middle finger of her left hand.
 Some of the students were suf- fering from this peculiar skin dis ease, she said, and it was the duty of the teacher to dress and care for the children 50 afflicted.
 The teacher charged that some of the infection from the disease was transferred to the cut on her finger so that it became badly ir- fected, and necessitated her reQuir- ing medical attention. She charged her injury arose out of and in the course of her regulation employ ment. This the respondents denied and hearing was fixed to deter mine the issues.
 The stipulation agreement was finally agreed upon and the case was settled. Under the terms of the agreement, the teacher is all lowed the sum of $75 as full and final settlement.

He added that the operation of the receiverships could be done just as we'll by anyone else or by any other agency.
 Attorney Blansfield also sug- gested that the entire cost of the liquidation of closed banks should be borne by the State of Connecti- cut. While there is no law along those lines. MT Blansfield said, it is his theory that such a policy would be of great benefit to de- positors.
 Scrutinlze All Bills
 Mir Blansfield told Judge Cornell that the bills of receivers should be carefully scrutinized, that dis cussions concerning them should be held in open court so that the public and those interested in the bank. could come in and give at- tentive ear.
 The Citizens & Manufacturers National Bank in it's application for an allowance presented last week did not mention any amount. Att torney Thoms said he would leave the amount to be fixed at the courts discretion.
 When Attorney Blansiield fin ished, Attorney Thoms arose to state that there is a full account of the doings of the receiver in- cluded in the application that was filed last week. He agreed to corAN into court next week and hold a discussion in open court with At torney Blansfield and Attorney

 q had always regarded myself as an American citizen until talked to Mir Baker. Then I discov- cred we were regarded as a species of outlaw"
 A letter from Robert S. Brook ing, member of the War industry's board, to Baker, was read into the record.
 Relating to the Old Hickory plant project, Brooking said protests had produced changes in the contract which will probably save the gov ernment $5,OOO,OOO or $6,000,000," but he did not yet consider the matter satisfactorily arranged.
 General Crozier, Col Hopper and Mir McRoberts (of the war department) had recommended in the most unqualified way this or iginal contract" the letter said, "and in our interviews with Gen Crozier and Col Hopper no amount of arguments made any impression upon them, as they still insisted that the contract was not only a reaSOnaDlo one put Ohe WHlCH SEi- denced the greatest generosity up- on the part of the Du Fonts.
 II may be wrong, but l have the feeling that if we had par ticipated in this negotiation from beginning we could just about have reduced 1t one-half, i. e., 71s per cent on construction and probably 21s cents per pound from opera tions. Even this would have giv- en them an absolutely secured pro- fit of $7,5Q0,000 per year !"
 The Old Hickory plant, which the Du Fonts regard as an out standing achievement in construc- tion, was finally built on cost plus one-dollar arrangement, with the Du Fonts given exclusive op- erating rights and a profit of five cents pound on powder manufac- tured there.
 Col c. T. Harris, army ordnance expert, testified there were de- lays at very critical peroid" be- cause of differences of opinion be- tween the Du Pont company and the war industries board on what the company's profits should be-"

 Public Utilities also wi come in for a share of attention. Pubic ownership advocates, led by Sem ator Herbert B. Nav, a University of Utah professor, are out in full force and will wage a desperate war against private power and other public utility interests.
 The outcome of the utility fight however. remains in doubt and won't be determined until votes are counted. The fight, largely, will hinge around methods of con- trol and stock sale regulation, rather than movements toward public ownership, according to anti-utility lead~'s.
