spent $4,000 to carry Virginia for
Herbert Hoover and the remaining
$4,000 in the national campaign
against Smith. The fact that the
bishop and Miss Burroughs re-
ported the latter to the clerk Of the
house of representatives proves
that they did not violate the cor
rupt practices act, McNeiil said.
'In fact 1t Is a shameful thing
that the government even could in
sinuate that Miss Burroughs could
do wrong" the attorney said, while
Miss Burroughs removed her horn
trimmed glasses and smiled family.
Mcneil said Jameson testified as.
to the disposition of his contribu-
ton before two congressional COM
mittees, saying he sent cash to the
bishop because of his high con-
fidence in the latter's liability to
swing the south toward the defeat
of Smith and the election Of Hoov-
err"
The anti-Smith committee or
ganiZed by Bishop Cannon with
headquarters at Richmond, Va, re-
ceived thousands Of small contri-
buttons. Some Of these were ad-
dressed personally to the bishop.
Immediately upon depositing
any of these checks in his own ac-
counts, the attorney added. "the
bishop always sent Miss Burroughs
his own checks to make up for
them"
The attorney said in February,
1929 the bishop planned a Medi-
terranean cruise. The day before
he sailed Miss Burroughs reported
expenditures Of $4,000 to the
house clerk.
"The bishop and Mr. jameson
communicated with each other"
Mcneil continued. "Of course they
did. We do not deny it. The bishop
said in fact In a telegram to Mr.
Jameson he spends $4,000 of your
money on the national campaign
and the balance Of 1t to carry Vir-
ginia.'
$50 Miss Burroughs then report
ed the expenditures of $4,000
spent by this committee.
every dollar of the $4,000 re-
naming was spent under the man
agement of the Virginia state COM
mittee. We shall ask you jurors
therefore to dismiss this indict-
ment."

ferred stock would be purchased

Corporation. and the cash used In
the operation Of the new bank.
Common Stock Offered
The common stock, all but a
few shares, would be offered to
depositors of the new bank.
Depositors and Stockholders
would relinquish their claims
against the old bank with the
adoption Of the reorganization plan
The copy of the Bridgeport plan
takes up 10 pages of printed paper
and is rather complicated. The
above information Is the plan In
brief as explained by a banking
official who was given an oppor-
tunity to examine 1t.
Not All Adaptable
The official who prefers to re-
main unannounced states that such
a plan could not be adopted in It's
entirety for adoption to the Mer-
chants Trust Company because
there is not much similarity in
the two institutions.
Arthur Tanner who is reported
to be one Of the leaders in the or
ganization Of the Merchants Trust
Company prefers to keep the Mer-
chants Trust Company plan under
adyisement for q while yet.

A THREAT TO

in a letter TO stockholders of one of the companies
associated. with H. M. Byllesby and Company, John j.
QBrien. president of that concern, said: "Your corpora
ton has substantial investments in public utility securi
ties which have suffered severe declines in market values
particularly during 1888, when unusual burdens were
placed upon the industry of additional federal, state and
local taxes. threats of competition from the government
and municipalities and continued demands for reduced
rates" During the last year we have witnessed an amaz
mo spectacle. Every effort has been made to stimulate
industries and increase their profits so they could employ
more labor, pay better wages and meet dividend require
ments, to aid recovery. The utility industry alone has re
ceived different treatment. Efforts have been made to
lower its rates-which are already far below the pre- war
leve]-at a time when operating costs were rising rapidly,
due largely to its willing compliance with such agencies
as the N. R. A. Special taxes, borne by no other business,
have been levied against it under laws which prohibit it
from including them in cost of operation. Public funds
have been to build tar free competing plants-even
though there is a great of power facilities in this country
now. AS the duplicate public plants destroy the invest
ments Of thousands Of American citizens. they also de
stroy tax revenue now paid by private utilities to govern
ment, amounting to ten per cent Of all their earnings.
These tax losses will be added to remaining taxable
property. This situation is of vital interest to every citi
zen who owns property, has a job or has his savings in a
bank, an insurance company or industrial securities.
Utilities, normally, are great employers. They are extra
ordinarily progressive, and spend millions annually to
broaden and improve their service. The major portion of
their expenditures goes into pay envelopes, taxes, interest
on savings, and supplies. They are among the greatest
assets any community can have. Any program which
cripples, them, in order to create political business toys,
is an industrial crime.
The Omaha guide., 1934-03-17

The National Urban League has organized the
Emergency Advisory Council for Negroes which is de-
signated by the initials A Declaring its belief in the
N. R. A. as a significant opportunity for intelligently I'M
proving the economic and social status of American work
ers, the A sets out to inform Negroes of the mechan-
les and benefits of the National Industrial Recovery Act
and other legislative enactments designed to meet the
current emergency.
It recognizes that the purchasing power of 1000.
600 Negro citizens is too potent a factor in our national
economy to be subjected to exploitation such as is usually
p~racticed against Negroes. Consequently it intends not
only to promote awareness of the provisions offered, but
to sensitite Negroes to the point of seeking benefits pro-
vided for in legislation having to do with public works,
farm and home mortgage loans, civil works, the national
EMPLOYMENT exchange, relief for the unemployed, and all
similar measures.
The National Council has as its Chairman, c. c..
Spaulding, highly respected President Of the North Caro-
lima Mutual Life Insurance Company. Members at large,
prominent Negroes throughout the country-and
Chairmen of State Councils make up the National Coun-
ell. The principal activitier are carried on by the various
City Councils now numbering ISL and located n 81 states
and the District of Columbia. Over both the State and
CITY Councils are men of unquestioned integrity and en-
ergy and already some groups have shown surprising
initiative and imagination in informing Negroes OF Fed
eral activtier in their local communities.
Underneath and buttreSSing all OF this emergency
interest is something regarded by the League far more
fundamental to the economic life OF the Negro. Each City
Council is to be a study group in which the rudments OF
industrial relations are to be analysed and weighed IN the
light of actual problems experienced in it's midst. The
FAC will deal not with distractions, but with a~ctualltles.
It will not have academic instructors but self instruction
in which the Council members will all participate. The
text books will be the Presidents Unemployment Agree
