To
DISCUSS ACTS
Of V|OLE Noe

President w. H. Tyler, Jr, of the
Ell Centre Chamber of Commerce
has called a special meeting of the
chamber IS board of directors to be
held at chamber headquarters at 5
o'clock this afternoon, to consider
the existing strike situation in Ell
Centre and Imperial Valley. This
is in response to general request
of directors that they be gathered
together to discuss the chamber S
policy with reference to the prevail
ing strike.
1.-THE citizens of this communi-
ty," said Tyler, "are fed up on vio-
lence. We have had a great deal of
experience with it in Imperial Val
ley, and we do not want to see any
more of it. At this afternoon IS
meeting of the directors, the merits
of the contention between shippers
and packers will probably not come
up for consideration, but the cham
ber of commerce, representing the
business interests of the community,
is vitally interested in the acts OF
violence which have occurred and in
further prevention of them.
1.-The matter is one of prime i'm
portance to the business interests
of Ell Centre and to the community.
These violent outbreaks are inter
fering with business in El Centre.
They are, also having a detrimental
effect on the morale of the COM
munity, and we consider it proper
that the chamber of commerce
should take a stand in the mat
ter. 1"

CRASH
NOT CAUSED
BY WEATHER

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 18. W.I)-.
The weather definitely was elimi-
mated as cause of the dirigible
Macon disaster in testimony today
before a naval court of inquiry.
Lieut.. A. L. Danis, aerologist on
the Macon, declared the weather
had nothing to do with the "break-
up" of the dirigible off Point Sur
last Tuesday night.
He added as personal opinion
that structural failure might
have caused it.''
Other testimony given by w. A.
Mcdonald, coXswain on the Macon
revealed that Florentino Edquiba,
Filipino mess attendant, one OF the
victims of the crash, probably was
trapped by escaping helium gas.
"Edquiba was climbing toward
the nose the last time I saw him, "
said Mcdonald. "We were about
100 feet in the air and the ship was
nearly vertical with its nose up.
"The gas was escaping very rap
idly. 1t is possible he was trapped
by the gas.
Lieutenant Danis said the wind
remained light, with slight drizzle
just before the crackup.

MAJORITY IS UNANIMOUS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18. UP -
The supreme court by five to four
decisions, today gave the new deal"
a sweeping victory in the momen-
tous gold clause cases.
The majority decision OF the
court nnquallfiedY approved the
action OF congress in outlaWing pay
ment clauses in some $75, 1000, 900 900
of private corporation bonds.
On cancellation of gold payment
clauses in the governments own
bonds, the court eXcoriated the gov
ernment, but it threw the case out
Of court. The effect was that, al
though the court said congress could
rot invalidate the gold clause in
government bonds, the holders OF
those bonds must be content with
payment of the face value in de-
valued dollars, rather than be paid
at the rate of $1.69 to the dollar, as
they had sought.
The court likewise threw out a
suit in which a former holder OF
gold certificates sought the same
amount of premium on them.
The net result of majority de-
cisions was protection for the Roose-
velt monetary policies as now in ef-
feet. despite the courts criticism of
some new deal' methods.
Administration officials were jubi-
liant over the result. Attorney Gen.
eral Homer S. Cummings, saying he
was pleased" rushed to the White
House to interpret the good news to
President Roosevelt.
Chief Justice Charles Evans
Hughes read the majority opinions to
courtroom packed with high Of
ficials, senators, financierS and So
cialites. With him sided Louis D.
Brandeis, Harlan F. Stone, owen j..
Roberts and Benjamin j. Cardozo.
The conservative" bloc dissent
ed TO every decision. Justice James
C. McReynolds outlined the dis
agreement of himself and Justices
Willis Van Devanter, George Su-
therland and Pierce Butler.
Majority Unanimous
The majority sustained in every
respect the cancellation OF gold
clauses in some $4,000, 100000 Of
private bonds. Claimants in the
suits had sought payment at the
late of $l.69 because it takes that
much present devalued currency to
equal the former gold dollar on
which the bonds had been based.
But the court pointed out that to
force corporations to pay $l.69
would work havoc throughout the
American economic suStem because
all income of the corporations would
he based on the new dollar. Up
holding cancellation OF the gold
clauses. the court said:
1--WE think that it Is clearly shown
that thes clauses interfere with the
exertion of the power granted TO
the congress and certainly 1t is not
established that the congress arbi-
trarily or capriciously decided that
such an interference existed"
The decision with respect to gov
ernment bonds was more complex.
The government bond case arose
from the suit of John M. Perry, in
the U. S. court of claims. He sued
tor $16,93l25 ON a $4,000 Liberty
bond.
The court went first into the
question of CONGRESSES power to can

Peace succeeded turmoil in the
lettuce strike situation here today
following an outbreak of violence
yesterday afternoon In which two
men lost their lives and several
others were beaten. County off,
ficers have the situation well In
hand today and are prepared to
cope with any further disturb
ances which might occur this af-
ternOon or tonight.
A visit to the packing shed area
shortly before press time showed
all sheds were in operation and
that no picketing was being done
by strikers. Police have thrown q
line about the sheds which can
not be crossed by anyone unless
on legitimate business. AZ q re-
picketing has ceased.
Extra peace officers are being
added hourly to the number now
doing patrol duty. Sheriff Ware
has appointed nearly so special
deputies for duty throughout the
county. Captain Frank Oswalt of
the state highway patrol stated
that he expected so additional
traffic patrolmen here before
night. These officers have been
arriving singly or in pairs since
early this morning and by night
their list will be completed.
William Mitchell, Alan Bump and
Don Nice, former county police Of
ficers and now members of the state
highway patrol, arrived yesterday
and will work with the present
squad. Chief Oswalt of the local
police department was authorized
this morning to add as many dep
uties to his force as he thought
needed and this is being done.
Elmer Heald, district attorney,
stated this morning that the in
quest into the deaths of Paul
and Kenneth Hamaker, IA

on the Wahl shed, will probably be
held on Wednesday. He added that

SANTA MONICA, Feb. II.
(SpeciaD by today's papers
Mr.. Townsend appeared before
the senate committee and they
had a lot of fun and laughter at
his plan. Well, they can have
some fun with the amount, but
they can't have much fun with
the idea of paying a pension.
You see it's not just some
idealistic crank or bolsheviki
idea. All the rest of the world
are doing it but US. We thought we
had a better idea. We called it a

could afford it, or had any po-
