D. {. Supply Bill
Is Taken Up by
Senate Group
Subcommittee
Has Changes Under
Consideration
BY ]. A. OIEARY.

With three weeks of testimony be-
fore 1t on a wide variety Of pro-
posed amendments in the 1910 Dis
trict supply bill Senate Appropria-
tions Subcommittee began delib-
erations today to decide how many
changes 1t will recommend to the
Senate.
After two-hour morning session
the subcommittee, presided over by
Chairman Overton of Louisiana, was
still at work at noon.
The amount of the Federal share
toward bill that already totals
S46 ,915 900 as passed by the House
is a major question awaiting set
tlement. The House continued for
another year the present $1,000 900
lump-sum payment, but Senator
Overton indicated at the close of the
hearings he would ask the Senate
group to consider an increase in
the national obligation to help meet
additional needs developed since the
measure passed the House.
For example, subcommittee men,
bers have given serious considera-
ton to enlarging the school-con-
struction program to begin replace
ment of antiquated buildings, some
OF which are go or more years old,
Some members of the subcommit-
tee also have indicated they are
considering whether the 5000 900 re-
lief fund in the House bill is sufi-
cient, following testimony that this
is required almost entirely for un-
employables. leaving little provision
for idle employables on the w. P. A.
waiting list.
The subcommittee also must de-
eide how much of the 100000 the
House trimmed from budget esti-
mates, in small amounts throughout
the BILL should be restored. The
hearings disclosed that the House
bill uses up all anticipated local
revenue, and about sl85 900 more,
assuming the present s1.75 real es-
tate rate is continued, without fig
uring on proposed new tax pro-
gram.
The extent to which the Senate
adds to the bill, therefore, is likely
to depend on whether the Federal
payment is increased.
Although revised local tax bill
has just been introduced in the
House, it still awaits in committee
and on the floor at both ends Of
the Capitol.

To Reduce Hazards

Need for world uniformity in
trafiic safety signs was emphasized
in today's meeting of the three-day

Congress today its campaign against
magazines it considers "off color"
The Rev. S. j. Ryder of Fort
Wayne, Ind, asked the House Post
ONCE Committee to approve a
measure requiring periodicals to list

Father Ryder said unscrupulous

BY JAMES E. CHINN.

w. Lawson King, milk producer
OF Gaithersburg, Md. today appealed
to the House Committee investigat-
ing the District milk situation to
close the inquiry Immediately.
This thing ought to be called of

our business-get it out of the news
papers. They are having a good
time at our expense"
You have my assurance" said
Chairman Bates, that no member
of this committee asked for this
job"
Mr.. King gave his strong indorse-
ment to the rigid regulations of the
Health Department governing the
production of milk.
The regulations are very fair"
he declared. They are plain. They
are so perfectly set up I can inspect
my barn as we'll as any inspector in
Washington"
Mr. King, however, advocated a
larger inspection staff to be placed
in dairies. He suggested that tax
be placed on both producers and
distributors, if necessary, to employ
additional inspectors.
Discussing the low per capita
consumption of milk in Washing
ton. Mr.. King said if suspicion"
Is taken out of the minds of con-
sumers that something is wrong"
with milk they would use more.
John F. Hillyard, counsel for the
i Wakefield Dairy. who afterward
cross-examined Mr.. King, said the
smaller dairies in Washington are
not making any profit due to wages,
bottle losses, ever-increasing taxes
and the depreciation on equipment
and plants.
Profits to Be Probed.
No hearing is to be held by the
committee tomorrow. but next week
1t plans to turn attention to the
dairies and delve into records show
ing profits, salaries of officials and
the cost of pasteuriZation and dis
tribution. Considerable data on
these subjects already has been
gathered for the committee by its
investigator, Estil w. Smith.

OF Indiana. who has taken lead in
the fight to have the Washington
milk market opened to producers
outside the local milkshed, is sched-
uled to return today from a trip
through his congressional district
and revive his campaign.
For several days last week, Mr..
Schultz conducted ind pendent
hearings on bill he introduced
which would permit milk and cream
from areas beyond the Washington
milkshed to be shipped into the city
for fluid consumption
Measure Now Pending.
Mr.. Schulte's measure is now
pending before the Milk Investigat-
ing Committee. as we'll as a similar
one sponsored by Representative
Bolles, Republican. of Wisconsin.

not have a hearing yesterday be-
cause OF meeting of the full Dis

Dependent on Others
Industry as operating in Mex.
ico at present is more inclined to
interests outside the country than
those inside the country. This IS
due not only to the fact that most
Of the capital is foreign, but also
because Mexico is a country Whicn
exports raw materials and imports
manufactured products. That Is,
it sends out and buys back-ia
other words Semi.colonial coun.
try dependent on others.
The struggle in Mexico is for
seIt-suttlclency and Self-support in
the fundamental necessaries of
life. The labor movement repre-.
sents the most conscious sector
OF the country, the one most
closely identified with the ideals
and aspirations of the Mexican
people, and the one best prepared
for the struggle.
"Baslcally. the struggle divides
Into two fronts, one against the
still existing feudal institutions
Of the country, centered in the
vast land holding system, and
two against economic dependence
Mexico cannot win on the second
front until it wins on the first.
Detests Trotsky
Henry J. Allen, former governor
Of Kansas, and editor of the To
peka State Capital, who visited
Mexico last year, wrote that To
ledano is a follower of Trotsky. >
and that Trotsky was invited bS
Cardenas to make his asylum ir
Mexico"
1t is a we'll known fact in Mex
leo City that Toledano detest.
Trotsky as the one who has be
.trayed the Russian revolution. HI
