SENATE BLOC HAS MAJORITY IN TAX MOVE Corporation Income Report Publicity Passage Seems Certain. % VARE ISSUE DELAYED Coalition Will Force Vote on Seating Member From Pennsylvania. BY PALL R MALLON I'nlted Prer-? StafT Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—Debating the $600,000,000 tariff bill today, the senate moved toward adoption of a resolution designed to disclose income tax secrets of corporations •eeking increased tariff duties. A last-minute check by leaders indicated the coalition of farm bloc I Republicans and Democrats had a I safe majority of from twelve to sis- I teen votes for the resolution, which is opposed by administration Re- j publicans. When and if the resolution is \ passed the coalition intends to bring : before the senate the resolution pro- ’ posing to deny a seat to Senatorelect William S. Vare of Pennsyl- \ vania, who spent SBOO,OOO in his primary election three years ago and has since been ineffectively trying to get his seat. If Vare is denied his seat, which seems inevitable, then Governor John S. Fisher of Pennsylvania, a friend of Secretary of Treasury Mel- J lon. is empowered to appoint a Re- I publican to fill his place. The Vare defense is in the hands of Senator David A. Reed <Rep„ Pa.), who says he expects the case to be disposed of within a few days. He says he does not intend to delay consideration. He will confer with Vare’s attorneys to decide whether an effort should be made to permit Vare to appear in person in the j senate in his own defense, but. be- j cause of Vare's physical condition, | it is anticipated the matter will be permitted to go to a vote in his absence. Reed filibustered against a resolution similar to the present Norris resolution at the close of the last session of congress, thereby preventing adoption at that time.

By United Press ST LOUIS, Sept. 10.—Flying at full speed, the Transcontinental Air Transport tri-motored passenger plane City of San Francisco, crashed head-on into a mountain with such force ttiat all occupants of the plane were killed before gasoline in tne tanks exploded, burning the ship and its contents, according to an official statement released by the general offices of T. A. T. here today. The statement was based on the reports of examination of the wreckage by Paul Collins, general superintendent of T. A. T. who made the investigation afoot, and Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, technical adviser, who surveyed the scene of the accident in a circling plane. The statement follows: “Too many things are involved to give an irrefutable cause of the accident.

“A dangerous storm area was not indicated by any of the weather reports and must have been very local in character. Just before taking off for Albuquerque, Pilot Stowe was handed a weather report showing visibility, temperature, cloud conditions, barometric pressure and ceiling and other important data from twelve reporting stations in that area, three weather bureau stations and nine T. A. T. stations. “Pilot Stowe did not take off in the face of poor flying conditions or against his better judgment, as no one in the T. A. T. organization has the authority to order a pilot to make such a flight. “It is quite possible that full facts concerning the cause of the tragedy never will be known, but the company realizes its obligation to make public such facts and will do so if they ever are available.

LABOR AGENT IS BEATEN BY GASTONIA MOf Union Organizer Threatened With Death: Mates v Also Kidnaped. STRIKE MEETING SPARK Anti-Communists Incensed by Report of Talks by Murder Defendants. Bu United Press CHARLOTTE, N. C„ Sept. 10.— After a night of terror in which they were threatened with lynching and death, organizers of the National Textile Workers Union and one striking worker, slipped into Charlotte today and told a graphic story of their kidnaping by an anticommunist mob in Gastonia Monday night. C. D. Saylors, one of the kidnaped organizers, said he recognized five members of the mob. He named persons prominent on the other side of the recent labor-capital struggle in the local textile mills as his assailants. Ben Wells, 27, an organizer, lay in a bed in a downtown hotel and exhibited his legs which, were covered with cuts, bruises and welt's from his hips down as he told his story. Despite the pain, he was cheerful and after relating how the mobsmen had beaten him with sticks and whips, said smiling: “It was a hell of a night.” Tired and haggard after walking eight miles from the seen? where they were thrown from automobiles and where the mobsmen at tempted to force C. D. Saylors. 41 another organizer, and C. M. Le--52, a striker, to beat Wells, the tri told their story simply. Tell of Lynching Threat*. They described how the automo bile loads of men shouted “Lynci the Red,” and "Kill them,” as the : whisked them from Gastonia intt Charlotte. Pistols were poked in their ribs, they said. The anti-communist demonstration started when it was reported that Amy Schechter and Vera Bush, two of the sixteen defendants waiting retrial Sept. 30 on murdet charges growing out of the fatal shooting of Police Chief Aderholt in Gastonia during a riot at strikers' headquarters there on June 7, were to address a strikers’ meeting. The meeting was postponed when the union organizers learned of a plan to spirit away the speakers. Night of Terror The night of terror spread from Gastonia to Charlotte shortly before 11 p. m. when the mob was reported to have visited the home here of Tom Jimison, a defense attorney and ex-preacher, shouting: “Lynch him,” “lynch Jimison.’* When it failed to locate Jimison, the crowd stormed the offices of the International Labor Defense and visited a hotel in search of Hugh Oehler, organizer, who was beaten in South Gastonia Saturday night by a mob while en route to a strikers’ meeting. Oehler was eating in a restaurant nearby with Leon Josephson, another defense attorney. They escaped in an automobile. Dr. John R. Neal of Tennessee, defense attorney and former defender of John T. Scopes in the evolution trial, sat in the lobby of a hotel with Jimison. Both were nervous. Sought Protection Neal asked for police protection Both men spent the remainder of the night in seclusion. The uprising began in Gastonia nine hours after the dramatic trial of the sixteen strikers had been brought to an abrupt end by the mental collapse of Juror Campbell. He was carried screaming and crying into a cell at police headquarters. Deputy Sheriff E. Johnson, who was in charge of the jurors, denied reports afterward that the effigy of Police Chief Aderholt which was brought Into court to assist the state in proving the means of Aderholfc’s death had been responsible in any way for Campbell's mental collapse. “He was acting queer three or four days before that,” Johnson told the United Press. "I. doubt if he paid any attention to it.” Campbell was removed to the state hospital for the insane today. He was hysterical most of the night.
