SECOND FIGHT IN SIGHT OVER BOULDER DAI Huge Lobby Trains Guns on Swing Johnson Bill in Senate. BY RUTH FINNEY WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—Battle lines for the second big fight of the session between private power interests and the public are being drawn today. The Senate irrigation committee has begun considering the SwingJohnscn boulder dam bill, the measure upon which the heaviest guns of the power lobby are trained. Senator Hiram \V. Johnson hopes his bill will be reported before the end of the week, and ready to go before the Senate. But a desperate fight will be made in committee to rmether the bill or to change it drastically. Blocked Year Ago. It is just a year ago that the power lobby made its first appearance of recent years in Washington to defeat the Swing-Johnson bill. In a ten days' dramatic fight Senator Johnson held his bill before the Senate, but filibusters kept him from getting a vote on it. Since then the power lobby has been continuously sending out floods of propaganda against the bill. The measure provides that cost of the world’s biggest dam, for controlling floods cn the Colorado, thall be reimbursed through sale of power developed there. It provides that the Secretary of Interior shall lease water rights at the dam for a sum sufficient to repay this cost, or if satisfactory bids are not received on leasing privileges, he may construct a Government power plant at the dam. and sell power wholesale at the switchboard. Private Firms Protest It is this precedent thus established to which the private companies are so bitterly opposed. • When the bill was on the floor last 5 ear, thousands of telegrams purporting to be signed by private citizens and civic organizations protesting against the bill were received by Senators, and were traced in j practically every instance to private I power interests or banks controlled ] by them. At that time, Josiah T. Newcomb alone was in charge of the power! lobby here. Since then the joint committee of national uti'ity associations has been organized with a large staff here and in New York, and a well organized plan of campaign. Senator Lawrence Phipps of Colorado, himself a large owner in power companies in the Southwestern : territory to be affected by Boulder | Dam, is chairman of the Senate Irrigation committee. He has introduced a bill he will attempt to have substituted for the Johnson bill. CITY SENDS LINDY MAIL Over 3,000 Letters Forwarded From \ Indianapolis for Flight.
