Postmaster General Farley may be
called before the Senate Post Office
Committee to explain the refusal by
his department to deliver food and
clothing sent through the mails to
workers who have refused to leave
their jobs in several strike-torn Ohio
cities.
This developed last night when Sen
ator Bridges, Republican, Of New
Hampshire. said he Is preserving his
right to summon Farley before the
committee, which is conducting an
investigation of charges that steel
strikers have blocked mail deliveries
The committee prepared to resume
its hearings tomorrow in an atmos-
phere made tense by the fiat refusal
Of the White House to order troops
into the Johnstown, Pa, steel strike
area.
Refuses Troops to Mayor
This refusal yesterday was In re-
sponse to a telegram from Mayor
Daniel J. Shields, who asked Presi-
dent Roosevelt:
Are you going to fail me by allow
ing this reign of terror to continue?"
Stephen Early, secretary to the
President. said no troops could be
sent unless the Governor or State
Legislature asked for them He added
that Gov. Earle, who has placed the
city under marital law, has given
no sign he is incapable" OF taking
care of his own troubles"
The intimation by Senator Bridges
that he may seek testimony from
Farley came after postal officials from
Ohio had told the committee they
have refused to accept deliveries Of
food, clothing and similar irregular"
mail, on orders from Washington.
Bridges, sponsor Of the investiga-
ton, has been trying to ascertain the
reasons for this classification of the
mails.
Packages Turned Down.
In addition to testifying about in
terference by c. l. o. strikers with
mail deliveries, postal officials have
told the committee they had turned
down thousands" of packages, mostly
food and clothing, as irregular mail.

Karl W. Weston Found M a k n g Bricks
A Dull Career; Life As Fireman
Here More to His Likinq

Making bricks in his fathers
plant in a small Pennsylvania
town did not offer much in the
way of excitement.
So Karl william Weston came
to washington and joined the Dis
trict Fire Department-where he
found plenty of excitement until
his retirement with the rank of
lieutenant.
He had a narrow escape from
death in a furniture company fire
in 1915, when high-pressure hose
burst and he was hurled from a
second floor window, suffering in
juries that kept him in the hos
pital six months.
But the worst fire he recalls
was that at the Rudolph and West
store in 1890. 1t was at this fire
that Acting Deputy Chief P. r.
Davis was killed when a ladder
collapsed, and several firemen
were seriously injured.

president of the Retired Firemen's
Association, resides at 513 E st.

STONE HORSES

The Arlington Memorial Bridge
will remain horseless for an indefi'

of granite, it was indicated today
at the National Parks office.
In 1881 contracts were let for
the granite so that sculptors could
execute the two groups of eques.
trian statues called for in the
bridge plans. In 1888 the money
for the stone was impounded, and
since that time the price of granite
has risen 800 per cent.
So it seems that the statue bases
which we're built to receive the
statues will remain without adorn'
ment, although the city beautifierS
are anxious to complete the bridge

certain prospect of visiting the capital,
she is not misled by a glance at the
map, which shows the country south

WINTER ALLUR|NG
At SWISS RESORTS
Famed Snow Sport Land
Is Bright With Sun and
GAY Visitors.

ST. NORTH, Switzerland, January
23-With the American dollar enjoy
ing . AZ per cent greater purchasing
power In Switzerland than it has had
for some years past. because OF the
recent devaluation Of the Swiss franc,
st. Moritz and other Swiss resorts are
acting as hosts to some of the largest
parties of American visitors in recent
years.
Among the first travellers here this
Winter were the film celebrities, Merle
Oberon, Kay Francis and Douglas
Fairbanks, sr.. and visitors from other
lands are arriving in large numbers
daily. They are coming not only by
land, but also by air, and so busy have
the air express planes from London
been that the company operating them
has just decided to purchase some OF
the latest type planes, which will ac-
commodate one-third as many more
passengers as the present ones.
Sun Bright In Mountains.
Like all mountain resorts in the
Canton Grisons, st. Moritz enjoys
fine January and February, for the
sun in the high altitude provides al
most Summer brightness for the en-
thusiasts who come here for Winter
sports. The lightest Summer clothing
can be worn, and with ground
temperature which keeps the snow
throughout the season. it is dry under
foot. The maximum sunshine per day
at this time of year is over nine hours,
and the sky has the constant blue OF
that in neighboring Italy.
Beginners as we'll as experts in ski
Ing come to st. Moritz and nearby
resorts, for every large resort in the
country now has its ski school, where
q standardized technique is taught.
Instructors are trained and licensed
by the state, and they give lessons
for every one, from the novice to
the advanced In some places the
expense of the school is borne en-
tirely by the resort, while in others
nominal fee is charged.
Skiing Is not the only attraction at
st. Moritz, as glance at its Winter
sports calendar for February will
prove. Early in the month the grand
national toboggan race will be seen
on the famous Cresta Run, while the
ski race for the cup annually pre-
sented by the President of the repub-
lie is also scheduled for some time
the first half of February. Febru-
ary l monobob championship
race will be held, and during the
following two weeks the bobsled
races for the Martineau Cup and
the Gold Cup and special ski races
for guests will occupy the attention
Of most visitors.
Bobsled Derby.
The grand ski jumping contests
at the Olympia Leap will be held
February 6, and two days later will
occur the first bobsled derby. A
skating exhibition will be given on
the ice stadium February 8, while
the world bobsled championship
will be settled during two days OF
exciting runs opening February 10.
In addition ice hockey games, with
matches so thrilling that they have
often been filmed for spectators over
the world will be played in great
international competition the middle
Of February, with another match on
