APP. ACTS TO PROTECT
MEMBERS ON COAST
Asks Court Not to Disturb Injunc.
ton Forbidding Bellingham,
Wash, Broadcasts.

BY the Associated Press.
The Associated Press asked the Su-
preme Court yesterday not to disturb
an injunction forbidding Radio Station
KVOS of Bellingham, Wash, to broad
cast the press associations news un-
til ID hours after publication.
A brief signed by John w. Davis,
New York attorney, urged the tribunal
to deny q petition by the radio sta
ton asking the justices to pass on
the action of the Ninth Circuit Court
of Appeals in granting the injunction.
The litigation was started by the
Associated Press, which commended the
radio station was ''pirating' news dis
patches from the Seattle PoSt-Intel-
ligencer, the Seattle Times and the
Bellingham Herald, all Associated
Press papers.
Replying to a contention Of the ra-
dio station that wide and rapid dis
semination of news was in the pub
lie interest, Davis asserted:
Public interest might be better
served by competition in the indie
pendent gathering of news than by
the pilfering by one news gatherer
from another"

DISMISSAL WAGE
SCALE is REACHED
Railroad Consolidation Pay Seized
ule Decided-Term of Serv-
ice Governs.

Moving toward final accord on the
complex question of how to protect
railroad employees eliminated through
consultations, committee represent
ing rail management and labor today
reached virtual agreement on a scale
of dismissal wages.
The joint committee has been nego-
tiating internationally since February,
when President Roosevelt suggested
that the question be solved through
voluntary agreement.
Sources close to the committee said
today an understanding had been
reached on scale of dismissal COM
pensation ranging up to so per cent
of full pay for five years to employees
who lost their jobs as result of con-
solidation.
The workers would have the option
of accepting lump-sum payment in
stead of the fractional wage over the
designated period.
The rate of compensation would be
based on the individual workers
length of service.
An employe who had worked for a
railroad one year but less than two
years would receive 60 per cent of full
pay for six months or lump-sum
payment Of three months salary.
From this level, compensation would
range upward to the miximum of 80
per cent of full pay for five years or
lump-sum payment of one years sal
airy to employees who had been in
service Is or more years.
Members of the committee said the
dismissal wage scale had not yet been
given formal approval. but this prob
ably would be done in the next few
days.

Our officials have more than 9
suspicion that Mussolini deliberately
delayed his occupation of Adds Ababa
for political rather than military
reasons.
No one will ever be able to prove
it. but they hold him morally response
BILE for the pillaging of foreigners
in the capital. His troops were re-
ported 10 miles out, day after day.
His excuse for not moving them into
the undefended city was that they
were awaiting the arrival of rein
forcements.
Repayment For Trouble.
Obviously he was not eager to go
to the rescue of citizens of the nations
which caused him so much trouble in
reaching his goal.
Note-Sharp-eyed diplomats noticed
that Halle Selassie went to see the

The excruciating delay of the Su-
preme Court in announcing a Guffy
coal decision Is now commonly known
here as "the Supreme Courts little
Joke" Justices walked in at the last
meeting with extra solemn mien. They
saw the large crowd and knew why
the crowd was there. The Chief JUS
tice was three times as auStere as
usual when he started reading routine
rulings which signified there would be
no coal opinion that day. He must
have chuckled when the crowd walked
out on him.
Court followers believe the decision
was reached weeks ago. and the
justices are just having trouble writing
their opinions 1t is customary for
the justices to argue for brief period
and vote in chambers. Preparation Of
opinions Is what takes the time.
Most unbiased lawyers still expect
an adverse opinion with q closely
divided court.

MISSING PERSONS
BUREAU PLANNED
Police to Establish Unit in De-
partment Within Week, Supt.
Brown Saws.

A missing persons bureau will be
established in the Police Department
within the next week, Supt. Ernest w.
Brown said today.
A detective sergeant and a police
woman, yet unnamed, will be assigned
to the new unit.
Maj. Brown said the bureau was
absolutely essential in these times, u
and he has been studying counterparts
in other cities for some months with
a view toward establishment of the
agency.
Under the present system, Mai
Brown explained, policemen on their
beats lose much time from their regu-
lar duties because of the requirement
that they check the homes of persons
reported missing. Brown likewise said
the new bureau would obviate divert
ing detectives from criminal work to
aid the search for missing persons.

Passion play is all about. Amy

the part of Mary, the mother of
Jesus" is in this country now on
a tour of publizing the decennial
event and has expressed will
ingness to come here and lecture
and illustrate the Mary" part.
Mr.. Blount is sounding out the
town to see if it will guarantee the
sum the woman requires for her
appearances, and was confident on
Tuesday that the community
would prove enthusiastic about
it. So certain is he of this he is
trying to determine where the lar
gest crowd can gather and has
reached the conclusion, of course,
that the main auditorium of the
Baptist church is most suitable.
So Amy will appear there or in
the movie theatre or in the high
school sometime soon before
Thanksgiving.
The visitor will give readings
about the play, describe it in it's
entirety, urge everybody to 90 and
see it in 1910, and show herself in
