Senator Opens Fight
For Crop Taxes" WASHINGTON, March 19 (U. ) —Senator Pope (D. Idaho) today opened a fight to force consideration of his effort to attach $212,000,000 in tariff equalization fees on six basic farm commodities to the $5,330,000,000 (B) tax revision bill. Senator Pope asked the Senate Finance Committee to give immediate consideration to his “rider” to the tax measure. The rider, intro-
duced yesterday, would impose the |.
equalization . fees on cotton, rice, field corn, tobacco, wheat and synthetic fibres to equalize farm revenue. Chairman Harrison .(D. Miss.) of the Finance Committee said he would place Senator Pope’s request before the full committee to decide in executive session whether to reopen its hearings for the proposal.

RAIL LABOR HEADS OPPOSE WAGE GUT
Plan Washington Conference To Ask Federal Aid.
CHICAGO, March 19 (U. P).— Railway labor leaders said today they would oppose flatly any plan for wage reductions for the nation’s 1,150,000 railroad employees and suggested that railway management’s. petition for Federal aid is a more agreeable solution to their economic plight. The Association - of American Railroads, with a membership of 142 Class I roads, invited the 21 railway brotherhoods yesterday to discuss the problem at a Washington conference the latter part of next week. The action was unexpected, as association directors had indicated they would request immediately that the Brotherhoods accept a wage cut. George M. Harrison, Railway Labor Executive’s Association president, announced at his Cincinnati headquarters he was ready and willing to participate in the dicussions. “But I will oppose any wage reduction plan,” he said. “We may be able to agree on some program to ask for Federal aid for the railroads.” The conference invitation was extended to Mr. Harrison shortly after President Roosevelt had announced he was seeking a solution to the railroad’s economic difficulties. He advised against wage reductions at present.

MEXICO CITY, March 19 (U. PJ). —President Lazaro Cardenas by executive decree expropriated today the foreign oil industry in which the United States and other foreign
nations have invesments totaling
400 million dollars. - Coincidently the Bank of Mexico suspended purchase and sale of gold dollars and foreign exchange. The two decrees marked a new climax in a major struggle between foreign industries and the Government. They meant that the country faced a gigantic economic crisis and that the Government and foreign capital faced a showdown bat tle on policy. Josephus Daniels, American Ambassador, was in close touch with the Government and with the State Department at Washingon. The British Minister and envoys ‘of other nations which have tremendous sums invested in Mexico, likewise were in urgent communication with their governments. The expropriation law provides for payment to companies within 10 years of the value of their prope erties, based on tax valuations.
