JL F. OF L. FIGHTS Stand Widens Breach With C. I. 0.—Committee to ( Quiz G. M. Officials. BY JOHN C. HENRY. tabor’s internal differences were in the spotlight again today as the Amer ican Federation of Labor and the Committee for Industrial Organiza tion held fast to contradictory stands on proposed legislation giving the De partment of Labor power to subpoena records and testimony in industrial disputes. Proposed by Secretary of Labor Per kins, in letters to majority leaders of ' both House and Senate, the legislative suggestion now bears the indorsement of John L. Lewis, chairman of the C. I. O., and the condemnation of William Green, president of the A. F. of L. The latter manifestation of sen timent was expressed yesterday at vir tually the same time that implied sup port was being reported at the White House. With sentiment thus divided on ad visability of invoking a method by f which some settlement might be forced In the current tie-up in the plants of General Motors Corp., the Senate com mittee investigating espionage and co ercion In labor relations, announced last night that it plans to bring the giant automotive concern on the car pet on February 8 and 9, to explain alleged “interference with the rights of labor.” To Hear Agents. As a preliminary to questioning "va rious officials” of General Motors, the committee next week will hear officers and agents of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency, of which General Motors has been an important cus tomer. k Opposition of the A. F. of L to the Perkins proposal for increased strike powers for the Labor Department was made known yesterday afternoon by Green. Calling a press conference shortly after he had appeared before a Senate committee to indorse the O'Mahoney licensing bill, Green de clared: • Legislation fraught with such far reaching consequences should be con sidered only when economic and in dustrial conditions are approximately normal. It is inconceivable that Con gress would base the enactment of such important legislation upon inci dents which arise out of one indus trial controversy. Sees Bitterness Fanned. “Proceedings initiated under au thority of such compulsory legisla tion would take on the character of a trial in court • * • and thus the bitterness of the industrial contro versy become more intensified. Such procedure ought to be avoided. The Department of Labor should be a mediation instrumentality. • * • "It is only a step from compulsory attendance at hearings and the com pulsory submission of testimony under oath, and the books, papers and rec ords, to the compulsory acceptance of departmental decisions. That would be compulsory arbitration to which the A. F. of L. is uncompromisingly opp<*ed.” ——.-• .— Pepco f (Oontinued From First Page.) 6'j per cent, ordered last January, is a testimonial to the prosperity of Pepco. The new rates ordered by the com mission follow the proposals made Monday by the company. Of the total rate cut domestic con sumers having schedule A are al lotted a cut of $255,702. There are 141,254 such. For the first 50 kilo watt hours the schedule A rates re mains at 3.9 cents. For the next 50 kilowatt hours the rate is reduced from 2 9 cents to 2.3 cents, for the next 100 kilowatt hours from 1.9 to 1.8 cents. For power in excess of 200 kilo watt hours the rate remains at 1.5 cents. The minimum charge remains at 75 cents a month. Schedule D Users Benefit. Of the total rate cut, 23.300 con sumers using schedule D, the smaller commercial and industrial consumers, were allotted benefits totaling $217, 791. This figure includes reduction due to shifting of schedule D con sumers to schedule E. For the first 100 kilowatt hours, the schedule D rate remains at 3.8 cents. For the next 150 kilowatt hours the rate Is reduced from 3 cents to 2.8 cents, and for the next 3,500 kilowatt hours from 3.7 cents to 2.5 cents. For power used In excess of 3,750 kilowatt hours, the rate remains at 2 cents, the minimum charge remaining at 75 cents. Of the total rate cut, 165 consumers In schedule C for apartment house lighting and similar uses, were alloted a rate cut of $2,162, although there was no change in rate, the reduction being due to schedule C customers changing to schedule D or E. Domestic consumers numbering 1.657, who are on a special rural A schedule, were alloted a rate reduction of $4,450. For the first 50-kilowatt hours, the rate for these consumers was reduced from 8.7 cents to 6 cents. There was no change In the remainder of this rate schedule, which is for the second 60-killowatt hours, 3.5 cents, for the next 100-kilowatt hours, 2 cents, and . all over 200-kilowatt hours, 1.5 cents. * there being a minimum charge of $1.25 a month. There are 130 consumers on com mercial schedule E, available for elec tric service for any commercial service except auxiliary service, who were alloted a reduction of $21,530. Beginning Monday, the charge of 1.8 cents will be applied to a first power bracket use of 5,750 kilowatt hours, whereas this rate heretofore has been charged to the first 13,750 kilowatts. The new rate then will be for the next 8,000 kilowatt hours, 1.6 cents; for the next 25,000, 1.1 cents; for the next 150,000, 0.7 cents, and for all over 188,750, 0.6 cents. The old rate bracket above the first 13,750 kilowatt hours at 1.8 cents was for the next 25.000 kilowatt hours, 1.1 cents; next 150.000 kilowatt hours, 0.7 cents, and over 188,750 kilowatt hours, 0.6 cents. The other reduction allotments for various classes of service were small, s The commission ordered a new f system for adjustment of bills in cases where defective meters are discovered. If the meter fails to register, a bill will be estimated on the basis of a special meter reading taken 30 days after the mater has been adjusted or replaced. If the test shows the meter has had an average error of more than 4 per cent, the company must make a refund to the customer for excess charges over a period of six months, In the case of overcharges, and the company may bill the customer for additional power for a similar period If the meter was found to run slow by pan than 4 per cent.

The 17 defendants of the just-ended Moscow trial were charged with Soviet crime No. 1—plotting to overthrow the Socialist Soviet state. Methods by which the conspirators said they planned to achieve their aims—sabotage, assassination, entan glement in foreign war, partition of jSuseiv-ell had aa « the ousting of Joseph Stalin and his re gime. The confessed conspirators im plicated the exiled Leon Trotzky as their leader. From Mexico City Trotzky Issued vigorous denials and challenged Moscow to prove it. Trial evidence, made unnecessary by the defendants’ guilt pleas, con-, tained few documents such as would have been necessary in American courts to clinch the case if "not guilty” pleas had been entered. The lack of documents, the enthusi asm of confession of the defendants, adding to the inevitability of their doom, and the 'absence of guilt de- j nlals by any of the 17 facing death ; amazed Western European and Ameri can observers. Some attributed it to the Russian 1 legal system, establishment of guilt or innocence in the preliminary ex amination before the trial proper begins, and the defendants’ willing ness to confess, perhaps to save other members of the alleged Trotzkyist organization, since they themselves were substantially found guilty in the preliminary inquiry. Principal item of the evidence, as expounded by Prosecutor Andrey Vlshinsky In his opening statement and quoted throughout the trial, was a letter Radek asserted he received from Trotzky outling the conspirators’ alms. Radek quoted the document from memory. Apparently it had beea destroyed long since. "Trotzky felt the Fascists’ victory in Germany meant the Fascization of all Europe, and the defeat of the working classes. The alternatives were to kill leaders and seize power or gam power through war,” Radek quoted the exiled leader. The 13 condemned to death were: Gregory Platikoff, former assistant commissar for heavy industry. L. Serebryakoff, former assistant commissar for communications. J. A. Livschitz. former vice com missar for railroads. J. N. Drobnis, former secretary cf the Moscow Soviet. M. S. Boguslavsky, former member of the presidium of the Moscow Soviet. I. A. Kniazefl, former chief of the Soviet Southern Railways. S. A. Rataychak, former head of the chemical industry. B. O. Norkln, former head of the munitions trust. J. D. Turok, chief of exploitation of the Perm Railway. N. I. Muraloff. A. A. Shestoff. I. J. Grashe. G. E. Pushln. At announcement of the verdicts, G. P. U. (secret police) officers im mediately surrounded the prisoners, hurried them from the court room to a truck and took them back to Lubianka Prison. DIFFERENT IN ENGLAND. Inskip Supports Dismissal of Sabotage Defendants. * COSHAM, Hampshire, England, January 30 OP).—Sir Thomas Inskip, minister for co-ordination of defense, declared'last night in an address sup porting the government’s dismissal of naval dockyard workers suspected of sabotage: "I am thankful we don’t do things in this country as they do in Russia.” Sabotage* on ships, he said, is easy to commit but almost impossible to detect. (Five workers at British .naval dockyards we'rt discharged recently without trail. Sir Samuel Hoare. first lord of the admiralty, declared in the House of Commons Tuesday their dis missal was the result of "premeditated and malicious’’ damage to British warships, at "the Instigation of some superior organization.”) Floods (Continued From First Page.) its worst and the light against disease and the mammoth Job of restoration became the concern of many cities and towns. Admonished by Kentucky’s Gov ernor to “keep your chins up and the sun will shine on Kentucky homes again,” Louisville mapped a program to prevent epidemics as chugging ma chines began to pump the slime and silt from the city's streets. The cleanup was underway in Portsmouth, Cincinnati and other cities, as President Roosevelt ordered a Federal commission to begin Sunday a week’s tour ol the Ohio flood region. Probably the greatest exodus in the history of the country, leaving 1,033, 000 persons homeless, at least tempo rarily, created a vast problem for the Red Croes and hospitable cities. Scattered through towns in the Mis souri “bootheel” vers several refugee camps where the homeless were given food and shelter and medical care. This was in the vicinity of the great new Madrid floodway which was opened Monday to save Cairo from the pressure of flood waters. In the Mississippi River basin a large army of physicians, nurses and volunteers waged an uphill light against death in ministering to 125,000 disease-menaced refugees. EVACUATE PADUCAH. Officials Order Force, If Necessary, to Remove Remaining 8,000. PADUCAH. Ky„ January 30 (JP).— Police and military authorities began today complete evacuation of about 8,000 persons remaining in downtown office buildings of this flood-stricken Western Kentucky city. The McCracken County Board of Health ordered the evacuation after the Ohio River reached an estimated stage of 60 feet and inundated from 2 to 20 feet an area of more than 8 square miles. County Judge Brady M. Stewart authorized use of force, if necessary, in removal of the citizens, and Padu cah officials were authorized to arrest any persons who failed to obey im mediately the request to leave the flooded area. City Uninhabitable. The order 'ollowed reports to State Health Commissioner A. T. McCor mack that the city was uninhabitable. Dr. McCormack, informed persons still in the city were without lights and heat, demanded immediate action as a health measure. "Health conditions are bad and it is impossible to feed them,” he said. Considerable sickness had been re ported last night at the emergency hospital, but doctors in charge said then there was little danger of an epidemic. Authorities yesterday withdrew passes authorizing persons to go into the downtown district and, to pre vent looting, began confiscating all small private boats. Chief of Police W. E. Bryant said, however, there had been little looting reported. In issuing the order the Board of Health recommended "the utmost courtesy” be shown In its enforcement and directed that it be read to all persons before compelling their evacu ation. Many of the refugees, Isolated In upper floors, were in school buildings and churches. Suburban Avondale Heights and Arcadia, where nearly 17,000 refugees were quartered, were the only parts of the city not under water. It was impossible to compute the river stage accurately, as river gauges were under water, but W. E. Barron, Government meteorologist at Cairo, 111., predicted the flood crest, not ex pected here before Tuesday, would send the water level up to about 62 feet. President (Continued From First Page.) and Harry L. Hopkins, Works Progress administrator. This will be the President's first birthday party since the death last April of Col. Louis McHenry Howe, his principal secretary and close per sonal friend for many years. Mr. Howe, in years gone by, generally made the arrangements for these din ners and paid particular attention to working out the entertainment details and arranging the stunts and fun making, which had become a dis tinctive feature at the annual affairs. In deference to his memory the cus tomary stunts will be omitted tonight. The party will be entirely informal and will afford an opportunity for an exchange of anecdotes and remi niscences by members of a devoted following who have been very close to the President and Mrs. Roosevelt through many, many years. The birthday anniversary group will ait with the President when he, at 11:24 o’clock tonight, speaks over a Nation-wide radio hook-up to the many birthday anniversary parties being held in his honor throughout the country. Outside of the birthday anniversary party to be held tonight the birthday anniversary was just another working day so far as the President's routine was concerned. However, hundreds of greeting cards have been received from admirers from all sections of the United States in addition to messages containing felicitations from personal friends and foreign potentates. The President, pronounced in ex cellent health by his physician, Capt. Ross T. Mclntire, received more than 15,000 menage* from well-wisher* Textile Industry Affected Little By High Waters Bl the Associated Free*. CHICAGO, January 30.—Trade sources here ventured opinions that flood in the Ohio Valley will have little effect on the textile industry. L. F. Barnes of Wellington Sears Co., Chicago, one of the larger pro ducers of cotton goods, said in com parison with the number of textile mills In the United States the number In the Ohio Valley flood area Is small. Retailers, wholesalers and jobbers In the flood area will have to replenish stocks ruined by flood waters, he said, expressing a belief that this was the principal affect of the flood. A major flood In the Southland would affect large mills in Louisiana, Tennessee and other Southern States, however, he added. NEWYORiTcOTTON Bt tl:e Associated Press.

CHICAGO, January 30. — Wheat values averaged mostly higher today, with leading trade specialists empha sizing that transfer of stocks to the show window does not increase the supply. The reference was to extra big ship ments of Argentine wheat overseas and to a consequent probable relative dearth of wheat soon south of the Equator. It was added that persist ent smallness of domestic primary re ceipts of wheat and rapid decreases in the visible supply were attracting attention and were likely to become more and more impressive. Besides, it was noted that Liver pool stocks of wheat are only one third of what they were a year ago. Cold weather over the week end fol lowing on the heels cf a good deal of rain in parts of domestic wheat ter ritory was talked of as threatening to cause more or less damage to crops. Especially in the western two-thirds of Kansas, where temperatures this morning were lower, fresh ice cover ing* was reported in the fields. On the other hand, likelihood of large unloadings of Argentine corn that has been strikebound of late tended to turn the corn market down ward at times, and to act as a drag on wheat price advances. Large shipping sales today of oats were noted. Provisions traders took their cue chiefly from action of corn. Around the midsession wheat was t;a*8 higher, compared with yester day's finish; May, 1.277/8; July, 1.11 H, J and corn was unchanged to *» up; j May, 1.06*4: July, 1.01. _ CHICAGO LIVE STOCK.
