REACTION POSSIBLE

Nor is this 10 be discounted
as a mere absence of the usual
year-end tax selling. First, there
was bare touch of such selling.
Second. the balance was post
poned. and came into the market
last week. II is significant that
the whole volume of the selling
was small and that il caused no
pressure momentum on the down
side.
AS already suggested. there are
some indications which, while not
conclusive, indicate that maybe
the broad upward swing since
last August has begun TO lose
momentum. Trading volume was
off in December, which is not
usual. Thus the possibility Of a
relatively severe reaction within
a month or two Is not 10 be
ignored.

Amendment 10 Abolish
Electoral College Proposed
.AP Wirephoto
BY tho Assoeiofed Press

The electoral college came back
under fire today-this time as an
asserted aid to CIO influence in
presidential elections.
Representative Gossett, Democrat
of Texas said he and others are
polishing up proposed constitu-
tional amendment to offer when
Congress reconvenes in January. 1t
would:
l. Replace the electoral college
with simple vote-counting board
and;
2. Revise the present system OF
counting votes for the presidency
Mr.. Gossett said he is certain of
strong backing among other South
ern Democrats and that there are
many Republicans who feel as he
does: That the CIO and "other pow
erful minority groups WELD an in
fuence on national elections far out
of proportion to their strength
The amendment would call for al
location of electoral votes among
States, just as at present. How
ever. it would specify that in count
ing the votes they be cast for each
presidential candidate in direct ratio
to the popular vote, instead of in q
State bloc for single candidate

Killing Suspects S Kin
Threatened in Georqia
BY the Associofed Press

SAVANNAH. Ga, Sept. 3.-An
uncle of a 26-year-old laborer held
in the fatal attack on The Good
Samaritan of Montgomery Heights
sought protection yesterday against
what he said were threats of angered
neighbors to burn his home.
The appeal came from w. A
Stephens, whose nephew. Pete Cole
man, was arrested for questioning
by county police, investigating the
beating and strangling death OF
Bertha Mehrtens. 38, beloved in her
community for deeds OF mercy.
They told me-" Mr.. Stephens, a
roofing company owner, said, THAT
they'd burn my $1,000 home to the
ground if didn't get out.
II tried to get Gov Arnall tc
protect me. but ! haven't been able
to reach him.
If can't get him, I am going tc
call on j. Edgar Hoover, chief o1
the FBI. All / did was to protect
Pete from the mob. That's nc
crime" -
County police bravld a hail o,
bullets to rescue Coleman from the
Stephens home yesterday after in.
censed neighbors of Miss Mehrtens
men and women-armed them
selves with guns and. pistols to
avenge her death.
Miss Mehrtens' body was found
Sunday SO yards from a community
road, near her home. Chief Chap
man said she had been beaten and
strangled and. in all probability, had
been criminally assaulted.

Hawaii Sugar Strikers
Picketing Cane Fields
On 33 Plantations
By keyes Beech
Foreign Correspondent Of The Sior and
the Chieoso Dolly New,

HONOLULU, T. H, Sept. B
Pickets paced the cane fields of SO
plantations on four Hawaiian islands
today as work in the territory's prin-
cipal industry - sugar - was at q
complete Standstill
The International Longshoremen
and Warehousemens Union spokes-
man said more than $4,000 workers
had obeyed the call to strike at mid
night Saturday, after last minute
negotiations between the union and
the plantation owners failed to pro-
duce settlement.
Union officials today said the
strike was 100 per cent effective
and sources close to the ILWU, DOM
inant labor force in the islands and
representative of agricultural as
we'll as water front workers, said the
strikers were prepared to hold out
indefinitely if necessary. ~'
On Maui the union plans to keep
the islands 1000 strikers busy on
picket lines, or on fishing expedi-
tions to help stretch the union war
chest and feed the strikers.
On Kauai the police department
has deputized "a. special policemen
in case of violence. ..e-
Under an agreement between the
industry and the union, utilities in
company-owned villages will oper-
ate as usual. However, utility en-
ployes will surrender their pay
checks to the union. 4
Industry spokesman said the
strike would cost the workers $l21,-
600 in salary day. They added that
if the strike lasts 10 days, all of the
industry's production gain for 1916
will be wiped out.
OF more interest to consumers in
the United States is the fact that
Hawaii produces IA per cent of the
country's sugar.
The four basic demands of the
sugar workers included:
A 65-cents-an-hour minimum
wage.
Reduction in the work week from
48 to 40 hours. 81.
A union shop.
Joint administration of the So
called perquisite fund for workers
housing. fuel and medical care.
The industry denies the existence
of the fund mentioned in the last
demand and claims that such neces.
sites are furnished free by planta
ton owners.
