GOTHAM MAYOR TELLS REDS TO AVOID RIOTING Jimmy Walker Issues Edict Two Days Before Reds’ Jobless Meeting. Bv UnUCtl Pres* NEW YORK. March 4—Within two days of a proposed ur.employment demonstration under Communist auspices, Mayor James J. Waiker has issued a warning against any “riotous demonstrations” winch he said would be "suppressed at once.” It was the first time the mayor had taken official notice of the clashes between Communists and police. There had been several during the past week. The mayor’s pronouncement was that demonstrators may enjoy “their rights of free speech, free assembly and petition,” but that the privilege must be exercised “in the proper places” and under “sanction and protection of police.” Walker said the city administration can not be blamed for unemployment, pointing out that the municipality has inaugurated an unprecedented program of public improvements, “requiring the services of ten of thousands of workers and the expenditure of approximately ii ,000,000,000.” Meanwhile, Communists went ahead with plans for Thursday's demonstration In Union Square. It will be according to William Z. Foster, a leader of the Communist party of America, one of the greatest international protests against capitalism ever seen.

GRAIN CHIEFS CONSULTED AS PRICES PLUNGE Exchange Executives Meet to Prescribe Remedy for Market. Hu United Pres* CHICAGO, March 4. —Executives of the nation's leading grain exchanges were called into consultation here today to prescribe a remedy for the ailing grain market. Although announcement that these “doctors” of the vast marketing industry that transfers wheat, barley, oats and rye from the bins and elevators of the plains and prairies to the giant mills of the cities or to the loading terminals at seaports would meet to diagnose the ills of the moment was made after Monday’s price plunges, officials of the Chicago Board of Trade explained the conference had been planned for some time. Monday’s slump was interpreted as a reaction to the change of policy of the federal farm board, which declared it would discontinue purchases of grain except “at the market.” The change of front was announced here last Saturday, after Chairman Alexander Legge of the federal farm board had conferred with Arthur M. Hyde, secretary of agriculture, and officials of the stabilizing corporation of the farm board that had been making the wheat purchases. In the Chicago pit wheat prices Monday dipped 5 cents under Saturday’s figures and the close for cash and May delivery wheat was from 2% to 4% cents under Saturday’s final prices. Another crash of the market to the low levels of last week w*as averted by spirited buying credited to brokers having orders from the farm board’s buying corporation.

March 4.—A new wheat pool, enabling Great Britain to regulate in the British isles the supply and price of grain raised in the dominions, has been suggested as one of the means for welding the British empire into an economic unit. The scheme, devised by E. F. Wise, laborite, is designed to give British farmers a stable price for their wheat and to protect them against the dumping of foreign subsidized grain. A public corporation is proposed to purchase in bulk the wheat output of the dominions, and release it on the market in a steady flow to avoid speculation and sharp fluctuations.

ELLIS ATTACKS FEDERAL CDURT POWERJIONTROL Public Loser Through Hiked Valuation of Utilities, Is Charge. Federal court decisions have increased Indiana utility valuations $11,334,235 in ten cases in which public service commission decisions were overruled, and are causing Hoosier rate payers to pay some $793,396 annual increases to produce 7 per cent return on the valuations. This contention is set out by Commissioner Howell Ellis of the Indiana public servic commission in the current Public Utilities Fortnightly. In an article entitled “Washington Versus Main Street,” Ellis urges state against federal utility control. Nine of the cases appealed to federal court are set out in a chart showing how, in each instance, the court granted greater valuation for rate making than was allowed by the state commission. Indianapolis Water Company valuation was increased in this way from the commission figure of $16,455,000 to $19,000,000; Indiana, Bell Telephone Company, from $32,000,000 to $36,000,000; Citizens Gas Company of Indianapolis, $12,000,000 to $16,000,000; Central States Gas Company of Vincennes, $482,845 to $739,572; Greensburg Water Company, $225,000 to $340,000; Steuben County Telephone Company of Angola, $242,000 to $278,444: Greencastle Water Company, $300,000 to $350,000; Liberty Telephone Company, $90,000 to $114,000, and the Vincennes Water Supply Company.

$725,000 to $114,000 and the Vincennes Water Supply Company, $725,000 to $1,032,064. Ellis offers the following comment in regard to these figures: "The Indiana commission was created in 1913 and yet has to win a rate and valuation case in federal courts, although many have been carried to such tribunals. “In each instance the federal court found that the commission erred in fixing the rates and valuation was too low. “We, however, have won our share of cases contested in the state courts. The score in federal cases involving valuation of utility property stands, federal courts, 10; Indiana commission, 0.” Ellis also sets out the complete control of steam railroad property, although operating fully intra-state, w*as wrested from the states by the interstate commerce commission through the federal courts. He points out the danger of similar loss of state power through creation of a federal utilities commission. Aged Fanner Fatallv Hurt CRAWFORDSVILLE. Ind..
