SPEAKER IS HELD
RED RIDER" KEY
SisSon Declares Byrns Can
Block Action on School
Measure.
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

Representative SiSSon, Democrat OF
New York today placed responsibility
for House action on his bill to repeal
the "red rider" to the 1886 District
appropriation act squarely on Speaker
ByrnS.
In a special letter to newspaper cor
respondents, SiSson pointed out that
through parliamentary strategy Speak
er Byrns is in a position to prevent
his bill from being considered before
adjournment Of Congress.
SisSon'S red rider" repeal bill is
scheduled to be considered by the
House on the next so-called District
day" the date of which is uncertain
because of plans of House leaders to
concentrate at this time only upon
"must' national legislation.
Sisson explained in the letter that
the red rider" has worked an injuS-
tiCe on the teachers and pupils in
the District public schools and re-
suited in unWarranted criticism OF
the Board of Education and DR.. Frank
w. Ballou, superintendent of schools.
Responsibility on Byrns.
Responsibility for the House being
given opportunity to consider the pro-
posal to repeal the Blanton red
rider" said Sisson, rests today with
Speaker Byrns. He can allow the
bill to come up in due course or it
can be prevented by parliamentary
strategy"
Sisson declared if Congress adheres
to its present program to adjourn by
June l there will be only two more
regular District days"-May IL and
May 25-and through parliamentary
moves it will be possible to defeat the
bill.
Under the House rules and pro-
Cedure." he said, the responsibility
for allowing the bill to come up, OF
preventing it, lies directly with the
speaker. Because of the opposition
of Representative Blanton and the
several members he controls, the re.
peal measure cannot be brought uI
in the House under a special rule
which requires unanimous consent o.
the House"
Sisson declared the red rider" in
stead of suppressing an interest il
communism, had actually increased i
and at the same time placed teacher
under unjust suspicion"

BEDFORD CALLED
IN BOND INQUIRY
"Protective Committee" Of.
fer of $25,0O0 income
Told at Probe.

The SABBATH Investigating Commit
tee yesterday directed its counsel to
serve q summons on Charles Z. Bed
ford, head Of a so-called "bondholders'
protective committee" to answer
charges that the Protective Commit
teee offered $25 900 a year for life to
the head Of Brooklyn company "to
stop protecting bondholders.
The committees action followed the
testimony of Irving T. Bush, 66-year-
old president Of the huge Bush Termi-
nal Co. Of Brooklyn, N. Y, that he
had been offered the money by Pro-
tective Committee for hondholders Of
the Bush Terminal Buildings Co., q
subsidiary, whose securities had been
guaranteed by the Bush Terminal Co
Milton Gladstone, committee coun-
sci, had accused the Protective
Committee of preventing reorganiza-
ton, and of jeopardizing the right;
of security holders in an effort to
get control Of the parent company.
Questioned on Offer.
Did you consider that offer q
bribe?" Gladstone asked Bush, re-
ferring to the "$25 ,000-a-year- for life
offer.
Il don't like to use ugly words, but
it certainly was an attempt to gel
me out of the way" Bush replied
They told me could live anywhere
wanted-for instance, Florida.
told them to go farther south.
Acting Chairman Fuller directed
Gladstone and Murray Carson, also
of commission counsel, to serve q
summons on Bedford, 80 we can SET
whether there's anything to these
charges" Gladstone had described
Bedford as q key witness" who
could not be located.
However, Bedford's cousin, E. T

minal Buildings Co, testified he die

he was wanted, and that the COM

holders and that as soon as the com.
pany was put back on its feet I wanted
to get OUT
He said the Bush Terminal Co., nov
in receivership, organized the build.
ings company for purposes of expan.
sion and had to guarantee its preferred
stock in order to get investment
bankers to sell it. He added, however
that he had since been told by lawyer
that there is a very grave doubt a.
to the validity of this guarantee"
The parent company and its sub.
sidiary earned profits at the averagl
of $1,235,000 a year for the termina
company and 81 400, 900 for the build
ingS company until 1888, he said. Tht
receivership of the terminal company
in 1888, he said, was brought about b.

was unnecessary"
