 Committees

DETROIT, Mich, April l. = Gen. eral Motors Company officials an- nounced that 17,300 employees are idle in four of the company's plants today because of new strikes at the Chevrolet plant Number Two, at Flint, also at Fisher Body plants at Cleveland, Ohio, and Pontiac, Michigan. Some departments of the Pontiac Motor Company plant are also closed, though there is no strike there.
 A short time later General Motors announced that 7,2O0 men had re- turned to work at the Cleveland plant, with the wage dispute there settled. Another strike has, how ever, closed the plant of the Yellow Truck and Coach Manufacturing Company, at Pontiac, which employs several thousand men, and, though not General Motors unit, is par tially owned by that company.
 Ed Hall, vice-president of the Un- ited Automobile Workers of Ameri- ca, said the strikes had been called "as protests by the men against re- fusals by the plant managers to recognize and deal with their com- mittees, as provided in the recent agreement"

Schwellenbach pending in Congress in favor of $l0000,000 Alaska pro- ject and is wiring its recommends tions to all Alaska and Pacific Coast Chambers recommending similar support.

This saving, the Fairbanks Chamber said, should be credited to the railroad, thus taking it out of the red' and placing the govern ment in the position of bearing its share of the roads maintenance.
 The Chamber of Commerce also adopted resolution urging the re- mobilization of the railroad.

Big Rush Expected When
 Present Difficulties Are Settled, fThey Are

SEATTLE, April 1. = Of- ficials of the Traffic Depart ment of the Alaska Steamship Company said the movement of advance crews and cargo canneries in Alaska is six weeks late this year. This is because of numerous labor troubles, the officials stated.
 Cancellation of reservations of fifty cannerymen and 300 tons of freight booked out on the steamer Mount Mckinley last night, almost forced can cellation of the trip.
 Traffic officials stated that some cancellations of steam CTS and freighters may be caused unless troubles are set tied.
 It is estimated that the movement of 500 passengers and at least 5000 tons of freight to Alaska canneries is behind compared to the same period last year.
 A rush of passengers and freight is expected, if and when labor troubles are set tied.

Approved hy the Territorial Sen- ate late yesterday with transfer of funds amendment, the school transportation bill providing $65,- 900 for the transportation of chil- dren outside of incorporated school districts was back in the House to- day and was expected to be acted upon this afternoon.
 In passing the bill without dis senting vote, just as the House had previously, the Senate voted to take the $65,000 asked for from the appropriation of $198,00O made at the regular session for needy and indigent. In making the amend ment, it was pointed out that a much larger appropriation than two years ago had been made for needy and indigent in view of Social &c., curity and that taking the transpor- tation amount from this fund would not dangerously cripple it.
 Senator Victor c. Rivers of the Fourth Division also contended that a direct additional appropriation might endanger the $400.000 road fund approved at the regular ses- sion.
 The Social Security legislation is nearly completed in both houses. The act creating Board of Welfare to handle old-age assistance, needy and co-relating matters has been approved and sent to the Governor. The unemployment compensation bill has been passed by both houses, but with amendments, which are now under consideration in confer ence committee, one of the points of contention being the salary to

Attorney General Cummings as a first witness was better than ex- pected. He had a tough aria to sing in the first act. It was Cummings who first advanced the doctrine that the courts were so head over heels in work that justice simply couldn't seep through and for that reason six more Justices were need ed on the Supreme Court and as many as 50 on the inferior courts.
 So many seeming holes were shot through that argument before MT. Cummings got to the witness stand that ever MT. Roosevelt aban- doned it utterly when he went to the radio with his first fireside chat on the court.
 Yet MT. Cummings had to sing the music as he had written it. He presented a statistical study of the number of briefs and opinions the members of the court had to read before they could render a decis- ion and by that means sought to show that the job was simply too much for nine men. and particu- larly these nine men among whom are six past 10 years.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The an
nouncement by the Senate Civil Lib
critics Committe, whose chairman is
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin,
that it will ask the Senate for an ad-
ditional appropriation in order that
its investigation of the violation of
fundamental civil liberties, including
the right of the workers to organize
in labor unions and carry on union
work free from anti-union employers
and their agents, is approved by pro-
gressive forces everywhere.
Evidently with but a slight knowl-
edge of the Importance and extent of
the inquiry, the Senate last summer
appropriated only $15,000 for the s
of the committee. 1t has been shown
that this sum is merely a bagatelle
compared with the nationwide scope
of private detective and labor spy
agencies already uncovered by the
Committee.
The investigation has revealed that
large corporations are paying these
spy agencies hundreds of thousands
of dollars to break strikes, destroy
unions, provide employers with in
formation designed to enable them
to discriminate against their en-
ployes because of union utilization or
activity and for sundry other gutter
services whose sole object is the de-
struction of the bona fide labor

APPROVED BY A.. #. OF L.
CONVENTION

SOAf
The Importance of the investiga-
ton conducted by the La Toilette
Committee was stressed by the re-
cent annual convention of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, in Tampa,
Fla, which was informed by the A.
F. of L. Executive Council that the
scope of the investigation covered
violations of the right of free
speech and assembly and undue in
reference with the right of labor to
organize and bargain collectively"
and that the purpose of the inquiry
is to acquire knowledge of the full
extent to which the right of labor to
organize is denied by violation of the
rights included in civil liberties.
The convention did not rest with
enthusiastically commencing the in
vestigation. 1t also gave the La Fol-
lette Committee assurance of the
complete support and cooperation of
the American Federation of Labor
and recommended that the Executive
Council of the Federation mobilize
its efforts to secure an appropriation
of not less than 100000 for the use
of the committee in order that the
various ramifications of private de-
tective agencies in labor disputes and
in the field of civil rights may be
thoroughly explored.
Following is the report Of the Res
olutions Committee of the A. F. of l..
Convention on the investigation and
the urgent necessity of providing
adequate funds for its continuance,
which the convention unanimously
adopted:
1.-THE Senate appropriation for the
work of the La Toilette Investigating
Committee vas wholly inadequate, a
condition which has retarded its ac-
tivities. In the meantime there has

z BABIES HAVE
EXTRA FINGERS

''You tie a silk cord tightly
around one Of the extra fingers
and then in about ten days, pop
goes the f1nger!.
DR.. Ted Mandy, Of Gallinger
Hospital, today explained the
system used to rid newly born
babies of extra fingers. toes. etc.
Since last Saturday, two boy
babies born at Gallinger have
come into this world with six
fingers on each hand. Other than
this they were normal and
healthy. According to DR.. Mandy,
the cases are the sixth and seventh
of their kind reported at Gallinger
Hospital this year.
Each of the extra fingers grows
out from the joint that connects
the little finger with the hand.
The standard method OF treat.
ment is to tie a silk cord tightly
around the base Of the sixth
finger, or toe, as the case may be,
and within 10 days or two weeks,
the digit drops off, without pain
to the infant.
The two baby boys are the sons
of Mrs. Adele Barnes, Of the 200
block R st. N. w.. and Mrs.
Madeleine Greene, of the 400
block Grant Ave. N. E.
