COMMUTERS PLAY
WAITING GAME IN
SLASH RATE WAR
LONG ISLAND RAILROAD
TO APPEAL COMMIS
SION'S RULING
NEW YORK, June 30 (TP)—Com
muters who use the Long Island rail
road are waiting for the line to reply
to a public service commission order
calling for an immediate fare rate
slash.
The Long Island has refused to fol
low the Interstate Commerce Com
mission order to drop passenger rates
to two cents a mile. Company officials
argued that as the line was an in
terstate road, it need not follow the
I. C. C. order. Commuters raised a
bitter protest and, for a time, there
was considerable confusion, with
many passengers refusing to pay more
than the two-cent rate. At least one
commuter was arrested on disorderly
conduct charges when he obstinately
refused to pay more than two cents a
mile.
The P. S. C. order, handed down
yesterday, ordered the Long Island to
put the two cent rate into effect to
morrow. However, it is doubtful that
the rate cut will be made before the
commission's ruling is taken to court.
The Long Island already is fighting
a similar transit commission order
in the courts.

Fey who recently was ousted as
head of the Vienna Heimwehr, came
out with his call for a monarchy dur
ing an address before a gathering of
Austrian veterans. The former Vlce-
Chancellor spoke of Austrian Preten-
der, Archduke Otto, as the “Kaiser of
Austria" and pleaded for his immed

Royalists Interpreted Fey’s speech
to mean that the Heimwehr would

FARMER’S GROUP
IN UNITY DRIVE
GREATER GOVERNMENTAL
BENEFITS IS GOAL OF
CAMPAIGN
ST. PAUL, Minn., June 30 (TP)—
Leaders of the farm holiday associa
tion launched a drive today to unite
farmers of 25 states in a demand for
greater governmental benefits.
The association has called farm
strikes in recent years in protest
against farm mortgage foreclosures.
Today the organization opened its
annual convention in an atmosphere
of dissatisfaction which was intensi
fied by a widespread drought.
The delegates will discuss measures
to combat the ravages of dry weath
er. They will also try to reach a deci
sion on what support they are to give
the Union party. The third party’s
presidential nominee, Congressman
Lemke of North Dakota, bases his
appeal in large measure on pledges
cf expanded aid to agriculture.
The association president, John
Bosch, will wield the gavel. Milo Reno,
the militant organizer of the group,
died several months ago.
COXEY TO BACK
LEMKE’S PARTY
FORMER PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE LIKES THE
AIMS THIRD GROUP
MASSILLON, Ohio, June 30 (TP)
—William Lemke’s new Union Party
has a new backer today. "General"
Jacob S. Ooxey, the leader of the fam
ous “Coxey’s Army” of other days, has
dropped his own presidential candi
dacy to battle for the new third party.
Coxey, the veteran of a dozen or
more presidential campaigns had an
nounced himself as presidential can
didate on a farmer-labor ticket. He
took his hat out of the ring with the
announcement that he was joining
the Lemke firing line.
•‘AU political factions must come
together to fight the common enemy,
the money changers," said Coxey.
“The money changers have named
Landon and Roosevelt their servants.
If either of them win, they will pre
serve the system that drains interest
from an impoverished people.”
Coxey first won national fame in
1894 when he led an army of unem
ployed workers in a march on Wash
ington. “Coxey’s Army." as it was
called, broke up when the “General”
was arrested for walking on the White
House lawn.
COLLEGEPUPILS
THREATEN ACTION
STAND BY DEAN AGAINST
CAMPUS HERO BODES
TROUBLE
NEW YORK. June 30 (TP)—Col
umbia University student liberals are
threatening drastic action in their
protests at the dismissal of Robert
Burke.
Burke, a Youngstown. Ohio student
who was president of the junior class
and middleweight boxing ch-.mpion at
Columbia, was forbidden to return
to Columbia by an order handed down
by Dean Herbert E. Hawkes. Liberal
campus groups, however, insist that
the expulsion order came from Pres
ident Nicholas Murray Butler who
is out of the country.
The order barring Burke was bas
ed on the undergraduate’s part in an
anti-nazi demonstration staged in
front of Dr. Butler’s home when the
University accepted an invitation to
send representatives to a University of
Heidleburg ceremnoy. Leftists at Col
umbia are asking college authorities
to explain why Burke was picked out
of a crowd of 200 for punishment.
Unless Burke is allowed to return to
school, American student union of
ficials said, a general student strike
will be called in September.

RESIGNATION OF BIT
TER LONG FOE
NEW ORLEANS, June 30 (TP)
Mayor Semmes Walmsley of New
Orleans will surrender to the Huey
Long political forces today when he
steps out of office.
Walmsleys re \ lation is a result of
his fight with the King Fish. The two
leaders became bitter political enem
ies when Long forced through state
laws stripping New Orleans of home
rule.
The Mayor recently bargained with
state forces, promising to give up his
post if self-government was restored
to the city. State leaders snapped up
the deal and scheduled the change of
New Orleans political power for to
day. The man taking Walmsley’s
place is Conservation Commissioner
Colonel Robert Maestri, one of Huey’s
lieutenants.

BOY’S PET RATTLESNAKE
IS TAKEN AWAY BY
THE POLICE
NEW YORK, June 30 (TP)—Young
Sanford Glass is mourning the loss
of his pet today. He blames his older
sister, Harriet, for the whole thing.

High school student, kept his pet,
“Willie,” in a box under his bed. Har
riet, however, didn’t like the idea of
"Willie" from Sanford’s bedroom and
transported him to the prospect park
zoo over the young student’s bitter
protests.
“Willie." you see, is a four-foot, dia
mond-black rattlesnake.

ALABAMA CELEBRATES
BANISHMENT OF TOLLS
MONTGOMERY, Ala., June 30
(TP). —The state highway depart
ment, civic clubs and other associa
tions in a score of Alabama cities are
ready to celebrate the freeing of the
state’s 15 toll bridges.
Last week the Alabama Supreme
Court affirmed a decision whereby
the highway department may assume
$3,800,000 bonded indebtedness
ness against the bridges. The deci
sion removed the last barrier in the
deeply involved two-year financial
legal transaction.
The decision also enabled Gover
nor Bibb Graves to discharge a cam
paign pledge which many financial
experts said was impossible.
Bondholders of the Alabama Bridge
Corporation have until July 10 to file
a petition with the Supreme court
for a rehearing.
