Ford’s Income Jumps Up $190.25 Every Minute FOR SENATE VOTE McNary Measure and Mec- Fadden’s on Banking Listed for Consideration. The McNary farm relief bill and the McFadden banking bill both ap- yeared today assured of a vote in the Senate at this session. The petitions for cloture on these measure: twin 223 262,558 have been signed by 58 Senators. To | invoke the cloture rule of the Senate | e two-thirds vote is necessary, or 64 of the 96 Senators if the entire mem- bership votes. Taking into account the vacancy from Illinois and the ab- sence of some of the Senators, the supporters of the two bills today ex- yressed the opinion that the cloture | 4 K28 2000 68, can be invoked successfully if it be- comes necessary. Arouses Speculation. The imminence of a vote on the Farm relief bill in both the Senate and the House gave rise to speculation today as to whether the bill, if passed by both Houses, would be approved by President Coolidge. While the final form the bill may take is still in doubt, predictions were tade both that the President would sign and that he would not, if the sneasure carried the equalization fee | Henry Ford becomes $11,415 richer—a total of plan. ome of the opponents of the McNary bill freely admitted today that the bill would pass the Senate gnd that it would probably pass the Flouse. far there has been no indication « filibuster n_the Senate to pre- nt a vote. Unless it becomes evi- nt that opponents are filibustering, the cloture rule may not be invoked fo force a vote. Differences Ironed Out. ifforts continued today to iron out Rifferences over the provisions of the Lill as the ¢ relate to cotton. cotton provisions may yet prove & stumbling block in the path of the passage of the bill, although its sup- porters are hopeful that an agree. Juent can be reached which will be gatisfactory to the Senators and Rep- | pesentatives from the cotton-growing States. Pushing Equalization Fee. Successful in_their parliamentary fight to get the McNary-Haugen farm hill before the Senate ahead of other sueasures considered by thelr sup- yorters as equally important, man: #igers of the surplus equalization fee proposal today were working for ad ditional prospective affirmative votes sunong members still in the doubtful column. Cotton provisions of the bill were frone over at @ conference last night hetween cotton organization repre- wentatives and the bill's manager in #n effort to reach a compromise on the fee and the Harrison insurance plan, and although no definite agree- ment was reached, it was announced that some progress had been made. Further conferences were planned. Bill to Be Debated. Debate on the bill itself was prom- fised today after a scheduled exemplifi- cation of its features by Chairman McNary of the agriculture committee, whose motion to take up the bill im-| jnediately was adopted, 66 to 44, yes- terday after a storm of debate led to| his withdrawing a request for a unani- | mous consent agreement to vote on it ot later than Monday. On the basis of preparations to head ©ff any filibuster by invoking cloture, | limiting debate, supporters anticipate © vote on the measure within a week. | They predict its passage in both House | und Senate, while opponents look for | ® close vote.

By the Associated Pres BRIDGEPORT, Ohio, February 4.— There is *“one chance in a hundred” that a strike in the union bituminous flelds can be averted April 1, when the present scale expires, C. J. Albasin, | commissioner for the Eastern Ohio Coal Operators' Association, said here sterday. Albasin, who attended the United |/ Mine Workers' meeting at Indianap- | olis, sald the demands made in the report of the union scale commif- tee to the convention seemed im- poseible, but added that a “fine inter- pretation of the report as a whole re- veals a possible chance for the miners’ | delegates to accept a competitive | scale proposal” The ‘“no-reduction” clause, he said, was supplemented by the words “best possible agreement.” A wage agreement drawn on a | competitive basis will first be submit- ted to the policy committee of the Miners’ Union by the operators when representatives of worker and em- ployer get together, he sald_ NINE BOYS ON MURDER CHARGE | Chicago Youths Face Prison Terms for Killing Man During Robbery. \CONVICT By the Associated Press.

The very fact that the automo- bile wizard complacently turned down several offers of a billion dol- lars for his “flivver” plant, as, re- lated by New York witnesses, has served to boost the estimated value of all his varied holdings to un- precedented heights. The far-flung ramifications of the Ford industries, ranging from mines and railroads to “the finished product,” together with ‘“good will,” cash in bank and the intrinsic value to the industries, so to speak, of Ford's *genius,” combine to fur- nish a reasonable basis for esti- mates of his wealth, financiers de- clare.
