Alfred Fleming of New York, conservation director of the National Board of Fire : Underwriters, Friday in an address at the Chamber of Commerce urged co-operation of all city departments and residents to reduce fire losses. ‘ Certainly, you can’t be proud of your 1929 first losses,” Fleming dei dared. “In addition, you, ought to be able to get at the causes of the three or four fires, in the last year I that have brought about the greatest losses. “Indianapolis’ greatest need Is the j co-operation of all forces, from in- ■ dividuals to the fire department. The three greatest fire losses in this i city would have been cut if the plants had been equipped with proper sprinkling systems.” Fleming complimented the city on its water supply, but warned that 1 this Is of no avail unless individuals and companies take steps to prevent, ’ rather than control, fires. “Don’t forget, Indianapolis business men. you are making Indianapolis’ fire insurance rates for the next few years,” he declared.

2. E x ploitation of Mexico’s natural resources and riches. 3. Increase in agricultural production. 4. A vast extension of the national highway system. 5. An immediate solution of the labor problem, in which increased highway construction Is expected to play a great part. The president also emphasized that Mexico is ready to welcome, and expects. additional foreign capital to be attracted to the country to assist in exploitation of natural resources. The progressive elimination of alcohol. and abolition of the national gambling evil are two goals toward which the Ortiz Rubio administration will direct its social efforts, he declared. The president reiterated his belief in the cordial relations now established between the United States and Mexico. DRY MOVES BLOCKED Little Chance of Further Legislation Now. Bli United Press WASHINGTON. March B.—Further prohibition legislation at this session of congress seemed improbable today in view of the wide difference of opinion which has developed in the house over the administration's enforcement program. So far, only one of the Wickersham law enforcement commission’s proposals, all of which were approved by President Hoover, has been acted upon—the suggestion that the prohibition bureau be transferred from the treasury to the justice department. A bill to effect this shift has passed the house and probably will be approved by the senate when the tariff bill is completed.

NEW COALITION IS IN CONTROL OF TARIFF BILL Gunning for Increases in Lumber, Oil. Menacing Chance of Passage. BY PAUL R. MALLON I'nited Tress Staff t orrespnod* nt WASHINGTON, March B.—A new coalition of sectional tariff rate seekers appeared to be in control of the tariff bill in the senate today, its members embarked upon a full rewriting of the measure as drawn during the last three months by the farm bloc coalition, Sugar and cement, the two chief points ol' dispute all along, are scalps upon their belts, and they now are after lumber and oil. Changed Their Votes Although the farm bloc, low tariff advocates won all these fights previously, a sufficient number of senators have changed their votes to reverse the former actions as to sugar and cement. The leaders claim a sufficient number will change to put duties on lumber and possibly on oil. The results to date, and the prospects for the future, have throwm the whole tariff question again wide open, just at a time when it appeared the senate was going to pass the bill. The farm bloc leaders say they will not go down without a struggle, and there are hints that they may seek to kill their own farm relief tariff bill if the industrial schedules continued to be revised upward at the behest of the new r and secret coalition. Justify Stand A number of those senators who changed their positions from previous roll calls have justified their switches by saying the rates now being proposed are not so high as were previously proposed. Charges have been made openly on the floor that a secret understanding exists, but whether these charges are true or not. the various groups are getting what they want.

Pa.), tha extra office assigned him in the senate office building was expected today as a result of testimony of# sered Friday before the senate lobby committee. While no resolution providing such action has been introduced, many senators, headed by Senator Harrison (Dem.. Miss.!, have indicated great indignation at the fact that Warren F. Domic, editor of the high tariff publication. The manufacturer. has been working in the extra office since Grundy was appointed to the senate. Donne was called before the lobby committee Friday and said he had been in the employ of Grundy for several years and that neither hit* work nor his pay, SSOO a month, had changed since the former lobbyist took his senate seat.
