ards Experts.

The House Rules Committee today
tabled a resolution of Representative
Kramer of California providing for
creation of a special committee to in
vestigate the ultra-modern elevator
system in the new House Office Build
ing.
The committees action was guided
by testimony of experts of the Bureau
of Standards who declared inspection
of the elevators in the new building
showed them to be safe and equipped
with sufficient automatic devices to
preclude a serious injury in the event
of an emergency.
Kramer introduced the resolution
after Miss Reba Doughton, daughter
Of Chairman Doughton of the Ways
and Means Committee, was shocked
when one Of the elevators in the new
Office building is alleged to have
dropped five floors with her on
Washington's birthday
Speaker Rainey had previously
told the committee he favored the
resolution and believed the scope Of
the investigation should be broadened
to include elevators in the Capitol
Building. Supplemental estimates to

FARM ADVISOR
WORKING ON
PECAN TREES

Summer training of pecan trees
on the demonstration plots has oc-
cupied Frank G. Beyschlag, farm
advisor, this week.
The trees are growing nicely and
the pruning system being tried out
seemed to be satisfactory, states
Beyschlag.
In this pruning, the chief aim,
which may be accomplished by sew
eral methods, is the central leader
type of framework rather than the
open vase type.
Advantages of the central leader
type are that it makes the tree
stronger, more wind resistant, and
longer lived. The trees are pruned
in the summer during the growing
season rather than letting them
make their growth and then prune.
1t is hoped that the system being
tried out locally will result in bring
ing the trees into earlier production.

HOUSE PASSES
LABOR BILL
Action Taken After Brief Con-
sideration Of Measure To Pre-
vent Strikes.

WASHINGTON, June 16. U.P) -
The house approved today the ad-
ministrations proposal for dealing
with the rapidly widening threats OF
serious labor disputes. The joint re-
solution now goes to the senate
where it was first introduced after
days of wrangling as a substitute
for the highly controversial Wag-
ner labor disputes bill.
The house considered the bill only
about 10 minutes.
The leadership brought the mea-
sure up Unexpectedly in the house,
previously having indicated senate
action should come first.
The resolution authorizes the Pre-
Sident to establish board or boards
to deal with capital-labor contro-
versies developing out of interpreta-
tions of the famous Section IA"
or collective bargaining provision
of the national recovery act.
A board under the resolution
would be empowered to order and
conduct secret ballot elections for
collective bargaining purposes in in
dustrial units.
House passage of the resolution
left the chamber in a position to
agree to conference reports on other
must" measures having completed
passage of the long list of legisla-
ton demanded by the administra-
ton this week.
The resolution was called up by
Joseph w. Byrns, house majority
leader, who asked unanimous con-
sent for immediate consideration.
Various members "reserving the
right to object" asked a series of
questions before agreeing to have
the measure considered. No debate
followed, and the resolution was ap-
proved without division vote.
Chairman William p Connery of
the house labor committee, said he
had just talked with President Will
liam Green of the American Fedora
tion of Labor and that Green while
preferring the original Wagner bill
is not asking federation friends to
vote against this resolution.

POST OFFICE
MAY YET GET
AIR COOLING

In a telegram received at the El
Centre Chamber of Commerce last
night, Congressman George Burn
ham stated that he is endeavoring
to have an air cooling system for
the Ell Centro post office building
included in the deficiency bill, but,
as the telegram was sent prior to
the passage of this bill, it is not
known whether or not his efforts
were successful.
In his telegram Representative
Burnham stated that he had the
cooperation of Senators johnson
and McAdoo in his effrots and it is
possible that an appropriation for
this purpose was included in the
many items contained in the defi-
cheney bill which passed the senate
late last night.
Burnham has worked vigorously
to have the air cooling system in
stalled in the local post office by
some means. Prior to the time Burn
ham took office, Phil Swing had at
tempted to have air conditioning in
cluded in the plans and when Burn
ham went to- Washington he i'm
mediately continued the campaign
commenced by Swing, keeping in
constant touch with the Ell Centre
Chamber of Commerce, which had
carried on extensive correspondence
with the treasury department.
At one time 1t was thought the
air cooling system was assured, only
to have plans for air ducts cancelled
later. Upon learning that an air
conditioning system had been estab-
lished in the Yuma post office,
chamber directors again contacted
Congressman Burnham and he has
made every effort, as his telegram
indicates, to find some method of
getting air conditioning for the Ell
Centre post office before the closing
of the present session of congress
