Little Chance of Reduction Seen

Consumer rates charged by the

indicated there is little likelihood OF

tabulated, but ofIicials said they be-
lieved the excess" of profits above
the initial rate of return, 6.5 per cent
Of the company's rate base. probably
would be too small to apportion among
gas consumers.

there was available for rate reduce
ton some $35.000. but that this d.
vided among thousands Of consumers
would have meant but fractional
split in the rates. and no change was
ordered for the last year.

WASHINGTON, April 6. (UP).
The house today agreed TO end
general debate on the reorganlza-

Administration leaders obtain

ton after attempting unsuccess-
fully to end debate in three hours
on objection by Representative
Ralph Church, R., Ill.
Under agreement the house will
start reading the bill for amend
ments tomorrow.
House action came shortly after
a labor subcommittee reported to
the full committee q wage-hour
bill which would establish mini
mum wages at not less than the
average pay now existing for each
craft in each industry.
The house was in an uproar
when Church objected to the Sec
ond unanimous consent request.
Speaker Bankhead pounded the
gavel steadily, trying to restore
order.
Had leaders been unable to win
unanimous consent they planned
to move during the day to end
the debate and force the issue by
roll call, if necessary.

NLRB RULING
WOULD FORCE
LABOR PACTS
Failure to Sign Contracts
Is Held Violation of
the Wagner Act

WASHINGTON, April 6. (UPJ
The National Labor Relations
board today ruled that an en-
ployer's refusal to sign a contract
with a union constituted a viola
tion of the Wagner act.
Holding that a written agree
ment between employer and en-
ploye is an Integral element" of
the collective bargaining process,
the board ordered Inland Steel
company of Chicago to bargain
with the steel workers organizing
committee and, if a veg agree
ment is reached, to sign a con-
tract with the union. The decision
established a new far-reaching
precedent under the Wagner act
and upheld the contentious of
John L. Lewis Committee for
Industrial Organization in the
bitter "little steel" strike last
summer. The ruling was believed
to be u forerunner Of similar de-
cisions against other steel COM
panieS.
The issue is almost certain to
be headed for Il supreme court
decision.

TO READ BILL FOR
AMENDMENTS NEXT

WASHINGTON, April 6. (UP)
President Roosevelt's three-man
rail committee has recommended
expeditions and economical reor-
ganization of the $26,000,O00,.
600 railroad industry. it was
learned today.
Mr.. Roosevelt is studying rec
concentrations of the committee,
headed by lCC Chairman Walter
M. w. Splawn, as we'll as those
made by representatives Of rail-
way management and labor. Re-
medal proposals for the railroad
situation will be made public
shortly.
President Roosevelt yesterday
ruled out government subsidies as
a tonic for industries reeling from
a succession of recession punches.
He said at his press conference
then that the government cannot
subsidize the $26,000,000,00
railroad industry, as proposed by
rail management and labor yes
terday, without opening the door
for similar, cash grants to other
ailin9 industries such as steel, au-
tomobiles and textiles.
The national industries, he
pointed out, are privately owned
and he hoped they would not be
government owned. He said he
would. send a special message on
the plight of the railroads to con-
gress probably within a week. He
would not say whether he would
propose. a long-term remedial pro-
gram or limit his suggestions to
means Of providing immediate re-
lief.
The president spoke after two
government fiscal experts had
forecast early business improve
ment and after he had been call
ed on by q labor leader to resume
federal spending on large scale
unless congress enacts maximum
hour and minimum wage legisla-
ton soon.

TEXAS MURDER
HAD
W0MEN'S WEAR
Leather Bag With Finery
Offered for Sale Said
"Hottest" Clue
FURTHER FACTS in
CRIME GATHERED

VAN HORN, Texas, April G.
(UP).--District Attorney Roy D.
Jackson today announced expen-
sivc feminine finerv was found in
the possession of an iron worker,
strikingly similar to the ward
robes of Mrs. Weston G.. Frome
and her daughter, Nancy, who
were murdered in the wastelands,
nine miles from here last Wed"
nesday.
The ironworker was Jack Fer
gusoI, 30, a blond powerful man
of the laborer type, who was ar
rested 100 miles east of the scene
Of the crime late yesterday while
trying to sell a leather overnight
bag, filled with feminine clothing.
Sheriff Albert Anderson describ-
ed the arrest and description OF
the luggage as the hottest clue"
uncovered so far.
Additional evidence is that the
murderers of Mrs. Frome OF
Berkeley, Calf, and her daugh.
ter, may have been two men and
two women who won their conf
dence on a transcontinental tour
authorities believed yesterday as
new information was added to the
meagre clues left by the killers
Closer examination of foot
prints at the scene of the murders
indicated that the two women left
the lonely highway willingly on
pretext and only then were con-
fronted with the murderous in
tent of their assailants.
Three persons added to the
store of facts collected by Dis
tl'ict Attorney Roy D. Jackson
since the bodies were found Sun
day, stripped of clothing and
showing evidence of brutal tor
ture by fire and assault.
f. NJ. Wells, division highway
engineer at Pecos, told of seeing
two men in a coupe following the
Frome automobile. Two soldiers,
their names not revealed, report
ed having seen the car near Bal
morhea.
Sheriff Chris P. Fox Of Ell
Paso, promised full investigation
of n report from Kansas City that
n Los Angeles murder suspect
was in the southwest.
"Kansas City police wired that
Leo Wahler, alias Waller, a re-
ported drug addict, was in this
area last week." Fox said. 1T is
entirely possible that a drug
crazed person may have commit
te dthese murders. That angle
might explain the brutality. The
information said Wahler was ac-
companied by woman and we al;
ready are certain woman stod
by while the Frome women were
killed"
