BOY IS RESCUED
 IN NIAGARA RIVER
Floating Towards Falls on Ice=Cake When SnatChed
 From Danger

North Tonawanda, N. Y, Jan. 30 -CU.P0-Constable Amos Voetscil went out into the Niagara river in a canoe last night and forcibly res cued IA year old Richard Abby, who sat on an ice cake drifting toward Niagara Falls.
 The rescue was made in mid stream, 10 miles above the falls, 30 minutes after Joseph Dey, a river man, had heard calls for help as he worked on the river bank at dusk.
 Dey saw the body bobbing along the channel of the ice-clogged river and ran to a nearby hotel to sum- mon aid. Police and firemen raced to landing downstream with sup. ply wagon carrying ropes, ladders and a canoe. They estimated the time it would take the boy to drift to the landing, and made ready with the boat.
 A rope was tied to one end of the canoe. Voetsch, a master mar iner, chose the most difficult aS- signment. He got into the frail boat and padded out from shore while those on the bank held to the other end of the rope to keep him from drifting away.
 In a few minutes the boy on the ice cake loomed into sight. Voetsch padded furiously across the chan nel. As he heard the boy, he thought of shouting encouragement to him
 What are you doing out here young man?" he asked.
 whats it to you?" the boy called back.
 Those ashore could see 8 struggle as the canoe and ice flow met ir mid-stream. The canoe tilted per- ilously but Voetsch quickly got tht boy aboard and was hauled ashor: by the rope.
 The rescuer said the boy had tt be firmly persuaded" to get mtt the canoe. Asked whether he hadn1 been afraid to tackle the river In z canoe, Voetsch said, "heck no. 1'v' got my captains papers"

Mine Workers Charge Gar= ner, Others With Endan=
 gering Law
BY WILLIAM H. LAWRENCE limited Press Staff COrreSnondenfl

bI WILLIAM Ill. LAWhENCE United Press Staff Correspondent
 Columbus, O., Jan. 30.-(UP)-The United Mine Workers convention today approved a resolution charg- ing that Vice-President John N. Garner, "reactionary employers" and their tory representatives in Congress" had threatened "the very life of the federal wage-hour law"
 The resolution, adopted without debate, said that the wage-hour ad- ministration had been inefficient and lax" in establishment of indus try committees % raise minimum wage standards and in the enforce ment of the law.
 Larger appropriations for admin iStration were asked as the miners attacked "crippling amendments" offered by "Tory representatives"
 It was during hearings on the proposed wage-hour amendments last spring that UNIV President John L. Lewis attacked Garner as "labor-bating, whisky drinking, polk er-playing, evil old man."
 The delegates opposed federal gov- ernment loans to Finland or any other country involved in war, al- though they voiced sympathy with Finland in its war against Russia.
 Secretary Treasurer Thomas Ken nedy declared that loans to foreign countries were the first step to war.
 During the discussion, Kennedy revealed that the miners union had arranged to purchase Canadian war bonds with its Canadian funds but said this policy was consistent with the interests of its Canadian mem bership and would not tend to in- volve the United States.
 Another resolution opposed use of the National Guard in labor disputes.
 Plans to submit Lewis political policy to popular test before the convention today were deferred un- til tomorrow. No reason for the post ponement was given.

PHILLIPS TRIAL
 DATE DEFERRED
One More PostpOnement TOday-Date for Hear
 ing Now Set as Feb. l3
Special to the Democrat)

(SpeclaI to the DemOcrat)
 New York, Jan. 30.-The trial date for Rowley w. Phillips of Wa terbury, Conn.,, and five others in- dicted by 8 federal grand jury which investigated the McKesson & Rob- bins Company year ago, is now ex- pected to be set on Tuesday, Feb- ruary 13. It previously had been planned to announce definitely the date today.
 The sentencing of the three broth- CTS of the late F. Donald CoSter- Phillip MusicA was also scheduled for this morning, but was also de- ferred until February 13. The three have entered pleas of guilty and are expected to testify for the govern ment during the trial.
 This mornings postponement was another in the lengthy series which got underway last spring, and it was generally expected, because there has been a shortage of federal judges available. Then, too, the government recently reopened its probe into the McKesson firms af- fairs, a new grand jury calling in number of witnesses.
 The accused are charged each with IA counts, including charges of conspiracy, mail fraud and fil- ing of fals statements. Facing trial along with MT. Phillips are Horace Merwin and John McGloon of Bridgeport. Benjamin Simon of New York, and two brothers of Mrs. CoSter.
 The indictments were returned last March after an exhaustive grand jury investigation. It was claimed that assets of the drug firm were marked up by $21, 100000.

Probe Of Schlosser Tragedy Is Continued
Murder, Suicide at Lake Beseck-Private Funeral Services for Victims in Naugatuck Tomorrow

State police today were continuing their investigation of the tragic end of Alden G. Schlosser 35, who killed his two children, and then shot him. self in his burning Lake Beseck dwelling yesterday at dawn.
 Pressed by friends of the Diamond Ginger Ale Go. salesman, state police said they would not abandon the case until they could reconcile the conflicting stories of the motives in spring Schlosser to have a funeral pyre for himself and his children, although he first bound, gagged, and tossed his wife into the backyard, living and unharmed. They did not deny the possibility that an entirely new angle might come out.
 Several Motives Considered
 Motives advanced for the grue- some tragedy were:
 CD, financial worries; CD, dom- estic quarrels; (3) insanity; (4 a desire to torture his wife.
 The story told by Schlosser's wife. Jeanette, of the parting words of her husband before he proceeded 10 carry out the murders and suicide, was seen as consistent with the idea of torture as motive.
 Routed Out At 3 A. M.
 Mrs. Schlosser told police her hus- band routed her out of her couch shortly before 3 a. m., urged her to get dressed, and at gunpoint, gagged and bound her, while he revealed each detail of the plan he was about to carry through.
 She said he even told her which child he would shoot first, Jeanette, 3 years old.
 AS he propped her against tree in the back yard, she quoted him as saying: "The first shot you will hear will be for Jeanette!
 r' Heard No Shots
 She told police she heard no shots because of the tightness of the ad- hesive tape he had put on her, but she saw the cottage go up in flames. Her husband, she said, had sprayed the place with gasoline.
