By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 28.-Com-
plete tie-up of the movement of
freight in New York City was threat
ened today by strike of teamsters
and truckmen.
Although the walkout was called
as a one-day protest strike, affecting
10000 men, there were fears it might
spread to $4,000 longshoremen, there
by halting all handling of freight.
Michael ]. Cashal, vice president
OF the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen
and Helpers of America, said the vote
to strike had been taken at a secret
meeting of the members and had not
been sanctioned by officials of the
union.
There seem to be Communists in
this" Casual said. He was unable to
say how many members of the union
would heed the unSanctioned strike
call
The strike call was said to have
resulted from an injunction recently
issued by Supreme Court Justice Burt
j, Humphrey of Brooklyn prohibiting
the TeamSters' Union and the long
shoremen'S organization from CO.
operating in preventing the move
ment OF non-union freight to and

EEBRECZEN, Hungary, January 28.

erty were placed on trial for their
lives.
Among the states evidence were 16
exhumed bodies as we'll as many
phials of poison and dissected human
organs which made ghastly exhibits
in the court room.
Picture of Innocence.
Dressed in their homely sheepskins,
shawls, leather boots, and bandanna
hoods, the prisoners, all of whom are
peasants, presented a picture of art
lessness and innocence which seemed
completely belied by the evidence of
their alleged crime.
Some of the defendants, especially
the 72-year-old alleged leader of the
husband poisoners, Mrs. John Hagy,
were dressed in widows weeds as
though lamenting the deaths of the
very men they are accused of having
murdered.
She pleaded tearfully, in a feeble
voice, that she was innocent, although
she previously was reported by police
to have said she was guilty. Mrs.
Hagy has been called the magic
medicine woman" who obtained poison
from fly paper.
Court Laughs at Plea.
"I was only an innocent dealer
in harmless herbs" she said, while
the court room laughed and the judge
himself smiled. The prosecution ac-
cused the woman of having admin
istered enough poison to kill several
elephants.
1t was expected that most Of the
prisoners. If convicted, will be hanged
and that the others will be sentenced

Holding Company
Useful, Efficient
and Economical
Says Owen d. Young.

Washington, ID. c., June 90
Il see no more reason for abolish
ing the holding company merely
because abuses have crept into
Its operation than | do for abolish
ing an automobile because of the
disasters which come from reck-
less drivers" Owen D. Young,
democratic leader and chairman
of the board of the General Elec-
trio Company stated in a letter
which he wrote to Senator B. K.
Wheeler Of Montana.
"The important thing is to re-
not to abolish a useful instru-
ment,' said Mr.. Young. II am
convinced that the holding COM
pany is a very useful instrument
through which to group utility
operating companies which, by
their nature, must be local, into
an efficient unit. In this way the
cost Of power can be reduced,
service can be given to communi-
ties which could not otherwise OBJ
tain it and the safety of the invest
ment can be increased through
the diversity factor over which it
would be in any one Of the indivi-
dual operating companies"
Mr.. Young, in his letter quoted
quoted testimony he gave recent
ly before a subcommittee of the
senate in which he stated that
"there is a very real reason for
having holding companies. There
is a great advantage, not only
from the standpoint Of connect
ing different units with transmits
sion, but there is a great advant-
age on the technical side in unity
ing those different operating COM
panies; and there is also on the
financial side justification for it
through diversifying the risk. You
a only get diversity in the pub
lie utility field through a holding
company whereas in the manufac-
turing business you are able to
get it by one straight operating

are attracted to the cauliflower in
dustry like moths to a light.
Things rosy for Joe Louis
before last Thursday night. All
he had to do was 60 into the ring
whip Camera, which he believes he
can easily do, and then lay around
for a championship shot at Baer in
September. Now he finds James J.
Braddock in the high seat and Baer
out. Braddock, an Irishman, look
ing at the fate of another drishman,
Loe Ramage from the coast, probably
won't have anything to do with
Louis in a belligerant way.
Baer, if he decides to continue his
ring career, will be willing to fight
Louis right away since no title is in
volved. But to me it looks shaky for
Louis to climb in there for a title
shot. If Baer decides on a come
back, he'll probably issue a challenge
to the new champion and that digni-
tary will accept it, making a state
ment in the meantime, that he won't
fight anybody else until after the re-
turn match which, probably will be
a year off. In that way they'll keep
the black menace outside the family
hearth.
Of course, I'm pessimistic. You'd
be too.
Buff something was stirred up,
as I believe there will be, by the dis
gruntled sports press, which pre-
dicted Baer would win, and if an in
vestigation into the matter is forced
on the National Boxing Commission
by Arch Wards deeply interested
Chicago Tribune, which has on many
occasions indicated that it wouldn't
rest until Louis was manouveured in
to the title as a sort of back pay
ment on a debt incurred in the Pol
ish Int irrational Golden Gloves
tournament in 1884, then something
might drift our way.
Then I'd be optimistic over the out
look.
Two things could come about
through a national boxing commits
sion Investigation: the principals in
a funny fight" could be made to
pay for the alleged fiasco and the
commission could declare the title
vacant and order a ~round-robin
among the best available
heavies and in that case Louis would
be number one contender.
