The indianapolis Railways workmen are busy
putting the finishing touches on new overhead wire
for the English avenue trackeSS trolley car line
which is to be placed in service next week.
The installation of trackless trolleys on the Eng
lish line marks the tenth line to be converted to
trackess operation this year. The three lines yet
to receive this new service according to the present
program of the Indianapolis Railways, are South
East, Pennsylvania and Brightwood.
New English avenue trackless trolley cars will be
routed ever Fletcher avenue between Pine street
and Virginia avenue thus shortening the route

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Sosthenes Behn, president of the
International Telephone g. Telegraph
Corporation, yesterday urged that the
legislation for Federal regulation Of
communications be confined strictly
to President RooSevelt's recommended
tionS.
Lining up with Walter S. Gif-
ford of the American Telephone g.
Telegraph Co, who opposed the bill
yesterday, Behn Endorsed the PreSi-
dents proposal for regulatory COM
mission, but said the bill went much
farther by providing new and drastic
regulation of the telephone, telegraph,
cable and radio services.
Senator White of Maine, a Repub-
lican member of the committee,
served notice he would offer a sub
stitute for the Dill-Rayburn bill.
This will provide only for a commits
sion and transferring to it existing
powers over communications now
held by the interstate and radio
commissioners.
Grayson NJ. P. Murphy, chairman
of the Gable and Radio Users Pro-
tective Committee, urged creation of
a tribunal which would have COM
plete authority over cable rates.
These, he asserted, were raised ar
bitrarily last December.
Due to foreign affiliations, he said
these companies are now in a posi-
ton where customers cannot obtain
modification of rate schedules by ap-
peal to existing authority.

Advocates Addition Plan.

Additions to the AnacoStia Junior
High School would cost about S308 900
he said, while an addition at Eastern
to house 800 students would cost
S348,O0O.
Mr.. Gregory advocated the Eastern
High School addition plan, because,
he said. parents living west of the
Anacostia River would not want their
children to have to cross the river
and because it would offer relief more
quickly than BallouS plan. Mr.
Gregory said he would propose an ad-
dition to accommodate not 800, as the
superintendent supposed. but 1900
He added that IA civic bodies had IA
vored the addition plan in formal reso-
lutions.
He submitted as his list of such ap-
proving bodies the Congress Heights,
AnacoStia, Southeast Washington,

DR.. Ballou opposed Gregory's plan
on the ground that a senior high
school of $500 students would be "un-
veildy" to administer. When Mr..
Gregory cited a New York City high
school of 5000 pupils. DR.. Ballou re-
piled that he was quite aware not only
of that school. but the dissatisfaction
which New York educators themselves
constantly express over it. He de-
clared that to make Eastern High
School community of $500 students
would be to saddle its principal

of the best anywhere" with admins

the efficiency Of the school.

TWOEASTERNH HIGH
PLANS DISCUSSED
School Board and Citizens
Consider Relief of
Congestion.

Two plans for relief of severe con-
eestion at Eastern High School were
discussed before Board of Education
members at joint meeting of school
authorities and civic organization
delegates last night at the Franklin
School Administration Building.
The school board took the matter
under advisement for further study
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superin-
tendent of schools, advocated con-
struction Of wings on the proposed
Anacostla Junior High School and the
establishment in that enlarged plant
Of a combination senior and junior
high school. DR.. Ballou pointed out
that Eastern High School, with ac-
commodationS for 1000 students, has
an actual enrolment at present
Of 2,748.
The alternative method of relieving
Eastern High School. he said, was
construction of large addition to the
present Eastern building. This
measure was advocated by A. H
Gregory, spokesman for the Fedora
ton Of Citizens Associations.
Can Cut Immediately.
In his statement, Dr. Ballou pointed
out that 428 of the students now in
Eastern live east of the AnaCoStia
River. Three live IN Takoma Park,
Md: in Alexandria. Va: u in
Suitland. Md, and 25 in Hyattsville.
Besides these he said, II District of
Columbia children living west of the
AnacOstia River still live outside of
the schools regular district. BY
eliminating from Eastern High School
all students who do not live in that
schools official district, the superin-
tendent contended it would be pos
slble to reduce the schools enrolment
Immediately to 2,006
With Eastern on the west side of
the Anacostia River. DR.. Ballou con-
tlnued. 1t is necessary now for the
428 children in the Anacostia section
to cross the river daily to get to high
school. since their side of the river
at present has neither senior nor
junior high school facilities. Funds
to begin construction of the junior
high school in Anacostia already have
been appropriated, DR.. Ballou said
and he advocated construction of two
wings to that proposed structure to
accommodate the senior high school
pupils of the east-of-the-rive section
and those in the neighborhood of the
navy yard to whose homes the Ana
costa Junior High School would be
nearer than the Eastern High School
Eventually, when the senior high
school population of the Anacostia
section increases, a new building
could be constructed and the space
in the Junior high school released to
junior high school pupils.

Protest

PARIS, April 2o.-Tens of thou
sands of workers battled police to-
day in a united front demonstra-
ton before the City Hall, against
the -Wage-cuts.. wholesale lay-offs,
and slasheS in veterans pensions by
which the Doumergue government
is attempting to balance its war
budget.
Police reported that $40 had been
arrested. Hundreds were injured in
the fighting which began when
heavy lines of police barred the way
of the demonstrators, and refused
to allow their delegation to enter
the city hall.
Thousands of workers struck late
this afternoon in ordre to march to
the city hall, where the demonstra-
ton was called for p. m.
The police and Mobile guards,
armed with rifles, thousands strong,
charged the workers and veterans
again and again in front of the
city hall and in all the adjoining
streets. A group of several hundred
veterans, led by three legged
war victims, was furiously attacked
by police and Mobile guards.
At late hour today, fighting be-
tween the police and workers con-
tinued in many parts of the city.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-Sing-

into Federal Relief Headquarters
today and heard a top Government
relief official turn down all demands

the Government in the interest Of
the ruling employers.
William j. Plunkert, Federal Di-
rector of Transient Relief, listened
to the seamen's demands and their
declaration that PlunkerG has been
acting at the command of ship
owners, and replied: mo, I can't
do what you demand Since
things are as you say. why don't
you go elsewhere? T the polls, or
somewhere else"
The seamen'S answer rolled back
in a deep, resentful laugh, above
which Leonard Patterson, Negro
leader, called: Sometime, Mr..
Plunkert, we workers are gonna
force you and all Government off,
Gals to do what we say. But in
the meantime, this is not the end of

question Let me remind you that
1000 textile workers struck in

The injunction was granted by
Common Pleas Judge Roy Stuart
when it was evident that the idea
Of mass picketing as proposed by
the Auto Workers Union was taken
up by the strikers and the men,
bers of the Unemployed Councils,
Relief Workers Unions and other
organizations. They had swelled the
number of pickets at the Auto-Lite
last Tuesday to over 1000.
At the hearing the Auto-Lite

Admits Terrible State
of r. r. Workers

WASHINGTON, April 20.
President Roosevelt today
refused to bulge from his
February Is letter to the rail
road magnates in which he
proposed the continuation of
the basic ten per cent cut for
six months after June 30. 1884, the
date Of the expiration of the present
agreement between the owners and
the Railway Labor Executive Asso-
citation
The Presidents refusal, in the
form of letter to Federal Coordi-
nator Of Transportation Joseph B.
Eastman. followed weel-s rf c-'7f-r-
apces, ultimatums, negotiations and
shadow boxing between the man
ayers and the so-called labor
executives.
Roosevelt declared that the ten
per cent basic cut is not the main
cause of the terrible unemployment
and misery among railroad workers.
1t is rather, he said. the practice
of part-time work, demotions and
the use of the furloughs.
BrotherhoOds Proposed Cut
Pointing to the fact taat the
present basic cut was voluntarily
proposed by A. F. Whitney, Presi-
dent of the Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen and Chairman Of
the Labor Executives, and the other
twenty railway leaders, Roosevelt
characterized this decision as a wise
one.
If the decision is not accepted by
either the railway workers leaders
or the management, the matter will
be referred to a board appointed
by the President, which board. said
Roosevelt, will be instructed to re-
view the matter without regard to
today's letter
In discussing the capital struc-
ture Of the railroads Roosevelt ex-
planned that he expects them to
increase the wages Of the lowest
paid workers up to the N. R. a.
level "a low one-Ed) and to in
crease the pay, within reasonable
limits, as earnings increase.
Roosevelt also announced that he
has asked the Secretary Of Labor
Perkins, Secretary of Commerce
Roper and Attorney General Cum
mings to prepare a study of the
railroad situation with a view to
mapping out a national railroad
policy.

NEW YORK.-The menace of
further infationary moves on the
part of Roosevelt loomed today as
wheat prices dropped sharply and
the dollar was sold in large guam
titles on the international money
markets.
Wheat dropped sharply in the
Chicago markets on the announce
ment by Secretary Wallace that
domestic wheat prices will have to
be adjusted to world prices. Do
nestle prices have up to now sus-
tanned above the world market by
the Government.
Wheat prices are falling again
because the amount Of wheat
throughout the world is still at
record peaks despite all efforts Of
the capitalist governments to de-
stroy or curtail wheat stocks. All
efforts of the capitalist govern
ments to jack up the world price
of wheat through agreements al
loting definite quotas of wheat to
each country nave broken down
siace each country wants the other
to sacrifice its own wheat crop in
order to raise the profits of the
other.
The need of the Roosevelt gov
eminent to keep wheat prices high
will inevi ably force it to inject
further shots of imitation into the
country's economy. This imitation
will be of benefit only to the big
wheat spectators since the present
crops have been largely sold already
by the farmers. In addition the in
f1ation will hurt the vast majority
of small farmers who will have to
pay higher prices for machinery,
fertilizer, gasoline, etc. 1t will raise
bread prices in the cities.
