Hill, Democrat, of Washington; Lewis, Democrat, of Maryland; Vin- son, Democrat, of Kentucky; Knut- son, Republican, of Minnesota, and Reed, Republican, of New York. Outstanding among differences be- twen the Senate and House bills was an amendment by Senator Borah, Re- publican, of Idaho, pointing toward the heart of the bill—price fixing— though its exact effect still was in dispute. On Borah's motion, the Senate re- moved a clause to exempt producers complying with the bill's marketing provisions from the anti-trust laws. Henry Warrum, counsel for the United Mine Workers, who drafted the original bill, said the Borah amendment would not stop price fix- ing—that the price-fixing provisions of the bill superseded the anti-trust laws regardless of the amendment. On the other hand, Borah himself told the Senate the amendment “elim- inated” price fixing. H. R. Hawthorn, chairman of the producers opposed to the bill, agreed with Borah. ‘Hope of Income, By permitting the producers to keep up prices through price-fixing, the mine union hopes to insure the indus- try of sufficlent income to cover the wages it demands. Price-fixing would be supervised by ® PFederal Bituminous Cosl Commis- sion of five “impartial” members, to be appointed'by the President. The bill also provides for appointment of a labor board of three, also to be named by the President, to take juris- diction in labor disputes. Determination of wages and hours 1s left to collective bargaining between the operators and the labor organiza- tion representing a majority of the employes in each district. The Senate vote showed 38 Demo- erats, 6 Republicans and La Follette (Progressive) of Wisconsin for the measure. Opposed were 24 Demo- crats, 12 Republicans and Shipstead (Farm-Lebor) of Minnesota.

YOUNG WOMAN DIES; INQUEST TO BE HELD Ardmore Resident Brought to Eospital Here Never Re- gained Consciousness. An autopsy was to be performed at the District Morgue this afternoon in | an effort to determine the cause of the death of Betty Wittner, 27, of Ardmore, Md., who died in Providence Hospital last night. The young woman was brought to the hospital in the Maryland State police ambulance from Waldorf. She was unconscious on arrival and died within two hours without regaining consciousness. Dr. James Du Fault of the hospital staff, who attended the case, said she was suffering from an acute abdom- 1nal condition. State Trooper E. B. Danenhower she had been brought to ‘Waldorf in the hope a physician there could cure her, but he immediately ordered her removal to the hospital. e 10,000 HOMELESS CALCUTTA, India, August 23 (#).— More than 10,000 persons were made homeless today as a resul’ of exten- sive floods covering about 200 square miles in the Burdwan district of nuimmnlouofu:‘. e goyernment is taking precautions prevent an outbresk ‘of epidemics. “Was I There?” SENATOR TYDINGS, Democrat, of Maryland, shown be- fore the Senate Lobby Committee today as he denied the statement of B. B. Robinson, Chicago securi- ties salesman, that he had been a guest at a cocktail party given at the “F Street Club” by Robinson and Miss Evelyn Walker. Repeat- edly demanding of Robinson, “Was I there'” Tydings forced Robinson to admit he had only read in the newspapers that he was. —A. P. Photo. Lobby (Continued From First Page.) i it is a sale where there s no actual passage of any money and where one sale matches the other.” Immediately afterward Schwellen- bach read the definition of a “wash | | sale” of several financial experts, one | of whom, Charles F. Hodge, described |it as a “fictitious sale.” The Senator wanted to know if he agreed with that definition. “I have no comment to make,” he| replied. Hopson's testimony was interrupted suddenly when Senator Tydings came mto the room. Robinson was called to the stand and his attention directed to his tes- timony of yesterday that Senator Tyd- | ings was present at a cocktail party | he had given at the “F Street Club.” | Tydings Denies Attendance. | Tydings looked directly at him and | asked: “Mr. Robinson, did you ever invite me to a cocktail party? Did I ever attend a party you gave?” H “You were invited by a young lady,” | he replied. | “How do you know it?” Tydings in- quired. “I read it in the newspapers,” Rob- inson answered. “It was a joint party and Miss Walker invited you.” “If I accepted her invitation to a party,” said Tydings, “what has that got to do with you? You know, Mr. | Robinson, T never attended any party | you ever gave. I might have been at | the club when you were there, but that doesn’t mean I attended any party | given by you.” | “You don’t know that I was there?” | again demanded Tydings. | “Well, I read it in the papers,” said Robinson. | “Well, I will tell you this,” declared | Tydings. “You never saw me at a cocktail party in your life.” | “That'’s not true’” shouted Robin |son. “I had dinner with you, Miss | Walker and another young lady.” | “I've been in the ‘F Street Club’ |only once in four months,” Tydings said, “and you certainly were not at that party.” Tydings then pressed Robinson to say definitely whether he attended | the cocktail party. “I don’t think you were there,” Rob- inson finally declared. “Hereafter,” declared Tydings, “when you use my name in any testi- mony, be damn certain you are right. You know you have never seen me at a cocktail party in your life. I get in- vited to a lot of cocktail parties, but I don't always attend them.” Tydings left after that statement and Hopson returned to the witness stand. On returning to the stand, Hopson was questioned about various stock sales. Senator Schwellenbach inquired if securities salesmen did not urge the investment public to buy stock on the | basis of an advancing market on cer- | tain issues. | “I don't think our stock was sold on the basis of its going up,” replied | Hopson. { Chairman Black then questioned him about a plan he said he under- stood the witness to have said that the Securities Commission was work- ing out to sustain a market by sales that are not really sales. Hopson declared his statement had been misconstrued and what he really meant was that the securities law rec- ognized that there had to be some method of stabilization. Market Activity Explained. { Black next asked Hopson about a stock transfer of 464,000 shares be- tween companies of the Associated | System. He said the object was to } keep up a sufficient market activity 50 any persons owning shares could find a ready market. Black argued that the transaction was intended to keep the price of the stock up. Hopson then declared he, did not believe any company should give out information for purpose of raising or Don’t Be Late!

Estranged Husband of Em- ploye Held Suicide by Coroner. Climbing out a fifth-floor window, the only one on several fioors of the Government Printing Office not pro- tected by iron grating, Edward Pilker- ton, 39, a gasoline service statign em- ploye, late yesterday plunged to his death on the sidewalk on the G street side of the building. Coroner A. Ma- gruder MacDonald said he will issue a certificave of suicide. Pilkerton, police believe, went to the Governiaent Printing Office to see his wife, Mrs. Lillian Pilkerton, No. 73 H street, an employe there, from whom he is said to have been estranged. Mrs. Filkerton, however, had left be- fore he arrived. No one saw Pilkerton plunge from the window, Dr. MacDonald said, but a swivel chair was found pushed up to the window and an employe on the fourth fivor saw a shadow flash as the body vassed by the window. Pilkertoa, police said, formerly lived in the 70¢ block of G street southeast, but had movea from there. Officers today were trying to locate his resi- dence. The bocy was identified at the Dis- trict morgue by Mrs. Rose McDermott, who lives at the H street address, where the wife resides. She told police Pilkerton had seen her yesterday. Police ‘nvestigating believed he was despondent over marital difficulties. ELEPHANT IS SLAIN PERU, Ind., August 23 (#).—Tommy, a five-ton, 35-year-old elephant, went to his death in Winter circus quar- ters here yesterday for unruly con- duct. Police Chief Edward Hobbs, in the presence of newspaper men and city officials, conducted the execution by firing five rifie shots into the beast’s skull, e — lowering the price of stock unless it is certain the securities are out of line with their intrinsic value. Chairman Black told Hopson the Senate would be extremely busy toaay and tomorrow and that the commit- tee would recess and make further plans later for continuing the investi- gation. He instructed Hopson to leave with the committee an address where he can be reached when wanted again. The committee then recessed until 2:30. At that time, Black said, it would question some witnesses 't is trying to locate. He did not reveal their identity. Tells of Parties, ‘The investigators drew from Robin- son yesterday an account of how he entertained Government officials at dinners and parties and in some cases was entertained by them. Hopson called this “indirect sales- manship.” Committee members de- nounced it as a “social lobby.” Robinson told of entertaining Marvin McIntyre, a presidential secretary, at his apartment in the Shoreham Hotel. He also spoke of Lawrence W. (Chip) Robert, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, and Emil Hurja, an official of the Democratic National Committee, as being other guests, Asked if McIntyre would be sum- moned before the committee, Chair- man Black said he would not be called immediately. He pointed out he never | announces his witnesses ahead of time. | Hopson, testifying only briefly yes- terday, vigorously challenged com- | mittee figures crediting profits of | $29.300,000 to himself and J. I. Mang:, his partner, in organizing the Assocjat- | ed System. “No such profit ever was realized,” Hopson asserted. Senator Schwellenbach said “they | were if the records of your companies are correct.” Thess figures were placed in the committee’s record after the utilities man had testified he had to borrow money to buy furniture when he went into business for himself in 1915. Black said Hopson and Manage made $17,000,000 on a stock deal in 1930, turning the securities back to the Associated System to reduce in- come taxes. “C. U.” Finally Identifiedl. H. A. Stix, Hopson's alde, denied that was the reason for the transter, | although he finally said: “There were many other reasons, but that’s the only one I can think | of now.” Other developments yesterday in- In cluded: The mysterious “C. U.” mentioned in a telegram from Hopson to Robin- son was identified by Robinson as Walter J. Cummings, chairman of the Continental Bank & Trust Co. of Chi- cago. Cummings also is treasurer of the Democratic National Committee. He was formerly an aide to Secretary of the Treasury Woodin. John Snure, jr., Washington Times reporter, denied vigorously that he gave Robigson any information on President Roosevelt’s radio speech on utilities on April 28 or that he had ever even talked to Robinson about the President's speech. Robinson insisted he talked with Snure the day before the broadcast and asked Snure whether it was cus- tomary for the President to personally sitack gny one in & radlo spéech. |Salaries and Costs Bared!
