Then the e n a t e judiciary committee will go into executive session and debate the bill at length. The hearings were suspended Monday afternoon, April 19, but the senators scorn- fnllv Hpnipri (hut th Smith W. opening of the Dau season had anything to do with this. One witness heard in support of the bill was Smith Wildman Brook-harradical former senator from Iowa. lie said the President's proposal was an issue in the campaign because the opposition declared what he would do to the Supreme court. "It was specifically made an issue in the campaign," said Mr. Brookhart. "The President himself did not so urge it because he probably had not fully made up his mind, but former Senator James A. Reed, the ablest, most brilliant and most forceful opponent the President had in the whole campaign, did present in detail the President's plan upon accurate information. He dared the President to deny his on Hi base-Brookfa- t, statement. "There was no denial because Senator Reed was telling the truth and the President was content to submit the issue upon the violent arguments against it alone." Judge William Denman of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals at San Francisco, an appointee of President Roosevelt, argued against Chief Justice Hughes' contention that a Supreme court working in two or more separate panels would be unconstitutional. Army's Huge Bombing Plane Is Given Test Flights 'TEST flights by the army air corps' new bis combine nlane were being made at Seattle, Wash., where it was built by the Boeing Aircraft company. This machine is the largest military airolano in the world, with an all metal fuse. lage 100 feet long, a wingspread of iua leet, and a cruising range of 6.000 miles. It weiehs about 40.000 pounds unloaded and 75,000 pounds wnen carrying a run complement of fuel and armament It has four twin row engines of a new tvne which will deliver 1,400 horse power each for takeoff. The speed is about 250 miles an hour. There are five streamlined blisters on the new ma chine which are emplacements for mail, quick firing cannon, instead of machine guns. These cannon will outshoot any guns mounted on any other military airplane in the world and make the great machine virtually impregnable. Auto Strikers Lose S65.000.C00 in Pay IN THE last five months strikes in the automotive industry have cost the workers between $65,000,' 000 and 970.000,000 in wages. And still, at the behest of John L. Lewis and his C. I. O., they are planning further strikes. What they gain, beyond recognition of their union which probably could be obtained by negotiation wherever it is de served, is problematical. ' The fig ures are from Ward s Reports, Inc., which says of losses to companies affected that the net volume of busi ness "delayed" by the strikes would approximate $200,000,000, but what proportion of this actually is lost cannot be calculated. "Let me tell Lewis here and now that he and his gang will never get their greedy paws on Ontario as long as I'm prime minister," said Premier Hepburn. He thereupon let it be known that he was prepared to push through legislation that would exclude the C I. O. from Ontario if this bed comes necessary to save the and mining industries from C. I. O. control. General Motors of Canada offered the strikers at Oshawa various concessions but not recognition of the union. Hugh Thompson, U. A. W. A. organizer, advised that the offer be accepted, but the strikers rejected it as insufficient. The executive board of the union at a meeting in Washington decided to postpone until November the drive to unionize the Ford company plants. Hepburn forced two of his ministers to resign, charging they were not supporting the government in its fight "against the inroads of the Lewis organization and communism In general." They are David A. Croll, who held the labor, municipal affairs and public welfare portfolios, and Attorney General Arthur W. Roebuck. Axel Hall, young mayor of Oshawa, who has been friendly to the strikers and critical of Jiepburn's action, sent an "ultima- pulp-woo- Vaun 1 l.'mon turn to President Martin of the Automobile Workers of America de manding that members of the union in the United States strike in sup port of the Oshawa local. The latter body adopted a resolution de- manding that Premier Hepburn withdraw from the negotiations to make way for intervention by the dominion authorities. In Montreal 5,508 w omen garment workers, members of the C. I. O. international union, employed in 72 plants, started a strike for higher wages; and in Fernie, B. C, 1,000 C. I. O. miners threatened to strike for union recognition. Baseball Season Opened; President Tosses Ball IIOTH the National and American For sit-dow- n ng " anti-Jewi- 16-in- board it Washington.
