GN.SO. Stung by action of the
House Rules Committee in tabling
his resolution to investigate sale
of Democratic campaign books to
corporations, Representative Smell
of New York, Republican House
leader, today challenged Demo
cratic liberals" to take action.
Smell declared the evidence he
presented to the committee showed
the sale of campaign books to cor
porations, autographed by the
President, was an effort to avoid
the Federal corrupt practices act
ban on corporation contributions.
Smell charged the Democratic
Congressional Committee is con-
tinuing the plan of obtaining
money from corporations by sell
ing advertisements in the Demo
cratic Register.
An affidavit of J. Edward Jones,
New York oil man, who has tan
gled frequently with the Securities

Use of "doodle-bug," a device
consisting of a piece of metal at

This concern sought permission
to issue $150,000 of stock to oper-
ate gold mine in Sonora. Mexico.
Claims of gold ore deposits made
by the company through use Of

SUGAR QUOTAS
TO PASS OVER
THREAT OF VETO
Senate Approval Seen
As Certain

G.N.S). Prompt passage Of q
bill extending the majority OF
Jones-Costigan act sugar quotas
until 1910 was predicted in the
Senate today despite threatened
veto by President Roosevelt.
The road to approval was
cleared in the Senate shortly after
the Senate Finance Committee,
headed by Senator Harrison
3D. of Mississippi, OVERRIDE
unanimously the Presidents per
sonal request that it be revised.
PRESIDENT OVERRULED
Harrison read to the committee
a letter from the President objec'
ting to provisions of the bill which
he said discriminate against insu,
lar possessions. The President
said the bill prohibits Hawaii
Puerto Rico, and the Virgin
Islands from refining sugar which
they are permitted to grow under
the quotas.
Passage of the bill was expected
after the Senate considers a group
of amendments introduced by
Senator Pepper CD of Florida.
They would permit his State to
increase its allotment from So, 900
tons to $4,000 by 1910.
COMPROMISE VOTED
Harrison and Majority Leader
Barley, Of Kentucky, predicted
defeat of the amendments and
approval Of the bill shortly there
after.
The Senate bill represents a
slightly modified version of one
passed by the House several weeks
ago. It also was approved over a
yelled threat of veto.
Harrison said the Finance Com
mittee voted to proceed with the
so-called compromise bill on the
grounds that it represents "the
only solution to the problem. The
compromise measure was approved
and placed on the Senate calendar
several days ago.

According to commission rec
ords. stop orders during the past
months have blocked issuance of
more than $100,000.00O in stocks
and bonds by gold mine promoters.
These securities were designed for
public sale.
OUTPUT RISES
With the U. s. Treasury paying
$35 an ounce, gold production has
been stimplated in all parts of the
world. Gold mining operations in
the United States during 1885 re-
suited in the output of 4,313,1 22
ounces, valued at $150,959. 270.
This was an increase of 100000
ounces over 1885 and came close to
a production record.
Since American gold output is
shared by % States. Alaska, Puerto
Rico, and the Philippines, the
SEC has received an increasing
number of registration statements
from newly-organized gold mining
ventures.
Glib promoters have haunted
the commission headquarters seek
ing approval for large stock and
bond issues which would be used
to begin mining operations.
SEC is EXACTING
Aware that the public is still
gullible as far as gold stocks are
concerned, the commission has
instituted the most exacting in
vestlgation of AL applications by
mining companies.
The commission maintains its
own force of biologists and min
ing engineers VINO conduct search
ing tests at the applicants mine
sites. Officials estimated that of
all the SEC stop orders against
flotation of securities, so per cent
involved proposed issues of gold
mines.
A stop order handed down
earlier this week by the commits
sior, halted issuance of $4,000, 900
shares of capital stock of the
Golden Conqueror Mines, Inc, of
Manitou, Col. This stock, which
was to have been sold for 10 cents
a share, was blocked when the
SEC found the company's reg
istration statement contained

NORTON OFFERS.
WAGE-HOUR BILL
HOUSE PETITION
Foes Claim Measure
Dead for Session
BY WILLIAM s. NEAL

G.N.SO. The extraordinary pro
cedure Of seeking to blast the
wage-hours bill from the House
Rules Committee by petition was
invoked today by Chairman Mary
T. Norton Cd, of New Jersey, Of
the House Labor Committee.
She introduced a resolution to
discharge the Rules Committee
from consideration of the wage
hours bill. Next Friday, after q
lapse of seven legislative days, she
will formally file the petition with
the Speaker and ask members to
sign it.
BELIEVED DOOMED
The wage-hours bill, however,
was believed doomed for the pres.
ent session.
Mrs. Norton estimated that it
would take a month to complete
the procedure necessary to bring
the bill to the House floor. An
added week or two, it was esti-
mated, would be necessary for
passage and conference agree
ment with the Senate. It ap-
peared doubtful leaders would
keep Congress in session for a
month to six weeks.
President Roosevelt, at his semi
weekly press conference, said he
had heard nothing new from
Capitol Hill about the wage-hour
bill. He indicated he was still
awaiting word as to what is
planned.
FARM CONFERENCE
Mr.. Roosevelt has a conference
later in the day with Congress
sional farm leaders who are press
ing for a 12-cent loan on cotton.
A member OF the rules COM
mittee, who declined to permit use
of his name, said:
1.-THE wage-hour bill is dead
for this session. They can't
get a rule out of the Rules Com
mittee in spite of pressure.
They can't get a petition and
they won't try to pass it under
suspension.
Chairman O'Connor CD of
New York, of the rules committee,
hacker of the wage-hour bill,
aid he had made no plans to call
session of the committee.
If the bill does reach the
House floor it will pass by an
overwhelming vote, he said.

HOUSE DEBATES
DEPARTMENT OF
WELFARE TODAY
Bill Also Provides for
Reorganization

d.N.SJ. The House was slated
to debate the Warren bill creating
a new Department of Public Wei
fare and giving President Roose.
welt virtually blanket power for
two years to reorganize the Fed.
eral governmental structure.
Representative Warren Cd of
North Carolina, chairman of a
House reorganization Subcommit-
tee, was authorized to call up his
bill in the House fol- action.
While reorganization has been
dropped for the session in the
Senate, the House reorganization
committee wanted to put the
House on record in behalf of Pres1-
dent RooSevelt's general plan.
PERKINS MENTIONED
The measure provides that the
Cabinet head Of the new Welfare
Department shall be known as
Secretary Of Welfare" The de-
partment would handle all mat
tiers relating to public health,
safety, sanitation, protection of
the consumer, cause of education,
relief of unemployment, benefits

Utilization.
Secretary Of Labor Perkins,
Harry L. Hopkins, WPA admins
traitor, and Miss Josephine Roach,
Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury, have been mentioned fire.
quently as possible heads of the
proposed new department.
SUBJECT TO VETO
Under general terms of the bill.
President Roosevelt could eStab-
lish bureau and functions and gen.
orally reorganize the Government,
subject to veto by Congress within
so days time. The President would
be forbidden to reorganize or abol-
ish such independent agencies as
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, but they would be brought
under budgetry control.
Because the reorganization pow.
ers are virtually the same as given
to President Hoover. by Congress,
hackers of the measure predicted
it's passage by the House.
