BUSINESS CONTROL
PROV|SO APPROVED
Senate Banking Subcom-
mittee O. KS Report Sys-
tenn in Stock Bill.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Corporate sections Of the stock
market control bill requiring regular
reports from corporations with listed
securities. which opponents of the bill
said would place business under Gov
eminent control. were approved today
by Senate Banking Subcommittee.
The committee approved sections of
the bill giving the Regulatory Com
mission authority to require annual
audits and more frequent reports on
the financial conditions and operations
OF companies with stocks listed on
registered exchanges and to make
rules for the use of proxies.
Restores Imroduction.
It also recommended restoring to
the bill an Introductory clause in re-
vised language to bolster its con-
stitutionality.
The full committee voted 10 to
3 few days ago to strike out the
entire Introductory section Of the
bill. despite the contention of Ferdi-
nand Pecora, committee counsel, that
1t was vital in defending the con-
stitutionality of the measure.
The language of the section giving
the regulatory commission power to
demand regular reports from corpora
tions would include such annual re-
ports. certified If required by the
rules and regulations Of the commits
sion by independent public account
ants, and such quarterly, monthly
and or other reports as the commits
sion may prescribe"
Richard Whitney, president Of the
New York Stock Exchange, contended
this language and other provisions Of
the bill affecting corporations would
give the commission complete power
to control business.
MeddlinE Banned
Taking cognizance of this charge,
the subcommittee approved an amend
ment saying nothing in this act shall
be construed as authorizing the COM
mission to interfere with the manage
ment Of the affairs of an issuer."
The proxy section Of the bill was
revised to eliminate all statutory
prohibitions. As approved it would
vest the commission with power to
make rules regulating the solicitation
and use of proxies.
The proposal to write f1xed marginal
restrictions In the stock market con-
troll bill was virtually abandoned to-
day by its Senate friends.
They indicated acceptance Of the
more flexible plan approved by the
Banking Committee and that they
would not carry the battle to the floor
The House Interstate Commerce
Committee, considering the bill con-
currently. is still sticking to the fixed
margin plan, however, indicating the
hnal decision may have to be reached
by conferees between the two Houses.
The Senate committee u rapidly
turning the stock market bill from q
"Pecora bill" into q GLASS BILL" with
provisions written by Senator Glass,
Democrat, Of Virginia, taking the place
OF those drafted by Ferdinand Pecora,
committee counsel.
Both the new marginal section and
the plan to create q new commission
to regulate the exchanges were sub
mttted by the Virginian.

NO SYMPATHY FOR STRIKE

Imperial Valley holds little sympathy
toward the strike now in progress among
field workers in the lettuce industry, UNI
less ii be for the misguided workers who
are allowing themselves to be coerced and
swayed by radical element that does
not belong in Imperial Valley, has no in
terest in this community and no genuine
regard for the cause of the workers.
This present season is one of the poor
est in the history of the valleys lettuce
industry. A late start and an overlap
ping season in Arizona, flooded the mar
ket and has kept prices down, so that
the top price of So now exists in the
best eastern markets. This price yields
no profit to the grower or shipper.
Even as the strike was called growers
were signing up their acreage to pro-rate
shipments in order that they might at
least have a chance to break even" on
the deal No poorer time could have
been chosen for strike.
The strike applies only to field workers
and has not included packers and other
shed workers, who are members of un-
ion affiliated with the American Fedora
tion of Labor The union which has called
the strike is not a member of the A. F. of
L. The latter is taking no part in the
strike.
Agitators from outside the valley have
fomented the strike. They are practical
ly the same element that conducted the
cotton strike in the San Joaquin valley
last summer, the abortive pea strike here
earlier in the season and are closely al
lied with the organization which has
called the present milk strike in Los An
geles.
Those on strike are being grossly mis-
led. The growers, under existing market
conditions, cannot meet their demands
and if the strike persists the strikers will
be the chief sufferers.
The Communistic tendency of the strike
organizers is only too apparent. This in
itself prevents the strike from finding
sympathy among the people of Imper-
ial Valley, who have had previous eX-
perience with Communistic activities.
1t is regrettable that the workers are
permitting themselves to be led by those
who have no real interest in their well
fare s9lN
Law enforcement officers throughout
the county are closely watching the strike
and are prepared to meet any violence
with prompt action. Thus far violence
has not made its appearance and Imper-
ial Valley does not want any. If it is
thrust upon the community those respon-
sble will find the law ready to deal with
them

When can we get out "
The Fox looked through the
tiny window and said:
Very soon, think"
What" hoWled the Wolf. do
you mean that Uncle Wiggily will
soon melt the ice on the stone door
and let us out?"
NO, Uncle Wiggily won't melt
the ice on my door, but the sun

will be shining full and hot on the

soon as the ice melts, we can push
Cur way out and then Uncle Wig

"Oh, hope it happens soonr'
meWed the Bob Cat.
The Fox had spoken truly. The
sun was beginning to melt the ice
and soon the door would be thawed
open. Jack Frost had thought of
that but he had not supposed the
rabbit would remain SO long in front
Of the den, making faces and laugh
ing at the Bad Chaps.
Then, all Of a sudden, as he was
dancing, Uncle Wiggily happened to
notice that the sun was melting the
icy lock on the rocky door of the
Fox den.
"Oh, my goodnessl" exclaimed Mr..
Longears. When that ice melts they
can come out. I had better make
my escape. I'll run home before the
sun can melt the ice
So, very wisely, Uncle Wiggily ran
home to his bungalow and thus
made his escape. And not moment
too soon. For no sooner was he
safely at home than the cave open

UNCLE WIGGHY'S ESCAPE

Never in his life did Uncle Wis
gily have so much fun. Never in his
life had the rabbit gentleman
laughed so hard. He felt the tears
from his eyes run down each side
of his pink, twinkling nose, so hear
ty was his chuckling.
"Oh. dear! My sides acne from
laughing!" shouted Mr. LongearS,
jumping up and down in front Of
the den of the Fuzzy Fox. What 4
joke, What a trick"
Now it may seem a strange thing
that Uncle Wiggily was having such
fun and such hearty laughs in front
of the den of the Fox, one Of the
three Bad Chaps who SO often play
ed tricks on him. You would have
thought Uncle Wiggily might try
to escape, to run away as fast as
he could so the Fox wouldn't get
him.
But there was the joke. There was
the trick. I told you about it last
night. With the help of a Snow Bird
and Jack Frost, the little North Pole
elf, Uncle Wiggily had frozen tight
ly shut the rocky door Of the den
nf the Fox. Shut up with the Fox
were the Bob Cat and the Wolf.
And they can't get out to nibble

small hole, for air, in the rock

The hole wasn't large enough for
