In the President’s judgment the bill as now drafted contains a large num- ber of provisions he found necessary to criticize in his veto, but chief among these is the equalization fee. Mr. Coolidge, however, is very anxlous at Congress take some kind of posi- tive action for the relief of the farmer along the lines which he has consist- ently maintained in his messages to Congress and in public addresse W'WILLIAMS CHARGES DROPPED IN COURT | Dr. Pierce and Others Decline to Appear in Robbery Cases—Lewis Offers Job.

Tydings Inquisitive. Stressing the argument that the Farmers’ Market should be placed where it would be convenient for retail buyers and near the center of popula- tion, the Central Labor Union last night went on record against the bill now pending in the Senate for purchase of the Southwest site. The resolutions adopted by the labor organization set forth that the Farm- ers’ Market heretofore has been con- ducted both for retall and wholesale business, and declare that the bill which has passed the House would make it a wholesale market. Another new development yesterday In the market discussion was the mak- ing public by Senator Tydings, Demo- crat, of Maryland of correspondence with the District Commissioners, in which he asked the city heads three questions, as follows: Three Questions Asked. “1. Are you in favor of making the Farmers' Produce Market a wholesale market as provided in page 2, line 5, of the bill? “2. Taking for granted that your rec- ommendation of a temporary site for the Farmers' Produce Market between Sixth and Seventh streets northwest contemplates that it is intended to con- tinue the Farmers' Market as a combi- nation wholesale and retail market as at present operated, when moved to the permanent Southwest site, as provided for in the Stalker bill, wiil the market automatically revert to exclusive whole= sale transactions? v What is the present status of the Commissione study of the known need in the near future of a large new food and produce distribution cente affecting not only the Farmers' Marke! but the commission and other chants and perhaps the Center Mar- | ket?" Reply of Commissioners. The Commissioners made the follow- ing_reply, in part “By direction of Congress the Com- missioners, after considerable study of the subject, including a public hearing, made a lengthy report to Congress on December 15, 1927, respecting the mar- ket situation, Since that time the Com- missioners have made no particular study of the situation, and believe that there is nothing which they can prop- erly add at this time to the report made to_Congress” In response to this Senator Tydings | has swed another letter to the Commissioners, n which he said, In part Holds Views Important. “In this particular case I consider | your views of more than ordinary jm- portance because your port on the | market situation, dated December 15 1027, 18 used as the foundation of the District committee’s favorable report on & bill introduced several weeks later In your report you state ¢ 1s generally agreed that it is de- sirable to all concerned 10 encourage | the retail feature of the Farmers' Mar- ke “The bill provided fust the opposite (H, R. 8208, page 2, line §): “To be usedsand occupied by the District of Columbla as and for the purposes of a wholesale farmers' produce market.

He urged that the bill be made applicable begin- ning with the taxable year of 1929 rather than 1927. The association also opposed the new provision for penalization of corpora- tions seeking to evade surtaxes by with. holding dividends. Satterlee declared the new language seemed “unreasonably onerous, as well as practically impos- sible of literal complianc William A. 8rady of New York, speak- ing for the theaters, told the committee that the legitimate theaters of the coun- | try “are getting the worst of it” on rev- enue legislation.

Mr. Mellon has told the committee it would have to restrict the reduction in the corporation levy | to & 12 per cent rate instead of 11'5 per cent as voted by the House.
