Flags Holding Firms Again

b. Serfpps- H0tcard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, June 20.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt carried the holding
company warfare into the enemys
camp today.
His reply to the refusal of
House subcommittee to report the
utility holding company bill in the
form he wants was a sharp attack
on unnecessary holding companies
in all lines Of business The attack
was contained in his message on
taxation.
Coming as it did a few hours
after the committee had made pub
lie the draft OF an emasculated bill.
the message was interpreted as a
warning that the President would
seek to accomplish his purpose
through the taxing power if he
could accomplish it no other way.
The subcommittee reported a bill
giving wide discretion to the Sc
curities and Exchange Commission
10 decide which utility holding COM
panies should be required to SIM
pity their corporate structure. In
effect and even in wording the new
provision reSembled the Dieterich

vote in the Senate after utility COM

WAGNER BILL
Action Cheered by Labor;
Measure Now Goes to
Conference.

UH 2 NfNfA EffNs
WASHINGTON, June 2O.-Labor's
magma charta." the Wagner labor
disputes bill, went back to the SEN
ate today. having received congress
sional appreciation after a long and
rocky course through committees
and the floors of both houses.
Supported by organized labor and
denounced by a large section of in
dustry, it will be sent to a Senate
House committee, where minor diff
ferences in the House and Senate
versions will be ironed out. 1t prob
ably will be signed by President
Roosevelt and become law within
week.
The House was held into a night
session to pass it. Angry debate
preceded approval, without a rec
ord vote. Labor expressed its de-
light and gratitude. Industry gen.
orally was silent.
The bill was. in effect, the New
Deals answer to the Supreme Court
ruling that outlawed NRA and its
controversial Section IA, guaran-
teeing labor the right of collective
bargaining. It makes it AN unfair
labor practice" for any employer or
his agent TO interfere in any way
with organization of workers for
collective bargaining purposes.
InduStrialists and other enemies
of the bill contend it will enforce the
closed shop on all industry. Labor
and proponents of the bill claim it
will not work against the open shop
principle.

IN RIVER HERE
27-Year- 0Id Fisherman Is
Swept to Death in
Giant Whirlpool.

Omar S. Tyson, 27-year-old fish,
erman, of 1912 w. 17th-st, was
caught in a giant whirlpool below
the Emerichsville dam in White
River, early today, and, after bat
Ting with the current for several
minutes, sank to his death within
100 feet of safety.
Mr.. Tyson, who was preSSman
at The Indianapolis Star, left his
home on the fishing tip at 1 a. m.
with two of his friends, Virgil Wood
ard, 1918 Alton-av, and Durbin
Reeves, 903 College-av.
Besides their fishing tackle, the
men had a small, homemade boat
large enough for only one person.
While Mr.. Woodland and Mr.. Reeves
were upstream hunting a likely
place to- fish, Mr. Tyson set out in
the boat below the dam.
Warned by Companion
He had been warned by the other
two that the current was swift, but
he felt confident because he was an
expert swimmer and boatman.
Ralph Gordon, Hymera, Ind,
also fishing at the spot, saw Mr.. Ty-
sons boat caught in the giant whirl-
pool when it was about rs feet off
shore.
At that time his boat was 100 feet
downstream from the dam, but the
swift, swirling current caught the
boat and took it toward the dam.
The boat made a complete circle
and was starting a second when it
overturned and sank almost imme-
diately.
Mr.. Tyson called for help, and Mr..
Gordon called to the two fishermen
upstream and they hurried down 10
the scene of the accident. They
were powerless, however, to assist
as Mr.. Tyson was swept around the
whirlpool circle, whose radius was
about 500 feet, two complete times.
Unable to Find Body
After the second circuit, Mr.. Ty-
son found himself in an eddy and
started to swim for the southwest
bank, but the current caught him
again.
He sank from view 10 feet from
five large rocks that jut above the
water near the dam.
Police were called at $50, but
were unable to recover the body.
The day rescue squad took up the
work today.
Mr. Tyson is survived by his wife
Thelma and two children, Joan, 4,
and Joy Dolores, 2 months old. His
mother, Mrs. Birdie Farley. and two
brothers, Iris A. and Jewel S., also
survive him.

IA and II years old, who admitted
kidnapping the Dubois County sher-

sentenced to SO years in the state
reformatory today by Judge John l..
Summer in Circuit Court.
The boys heard the sentence
without a visible show of emotion.
Both youths, Bascum Ray Jr., IA,
and Maurice Sheridan, II, con-
fessed they had broken into houses
and stolen automobiles at their
home in Huntington, w. Va, before
coming to Indiana.
Lectured by Judge
Judge Sumner gave them a Sc
we're lecture regarding the sGrious-
ness of their crimes before passing
sentence.
He had postponed the sentencing
yesterday when notified that Bas-

boy, was en- route to Jasper, but he
had not arrived when the boys were
taken to court today.
Sheriff Edward LuegerS said he
would transfer the youths to the

which ended in ditch about eight
miles north of Boonville.
The boys fled, leaving the sheriff

pleaded guilty.
Sheriff Luegers said they were
bolstered when informed that Rays
father was en- route to Jasper and
maintained that spirit after being
sentenced.
