When asked to explain the scarcity of oil and recent orders commandeer ing supplies. Signor Mudialdi, food controller, asserted that while there was complete liberty, or commerce, "oil had disappeared from the mar kets." At this point Deputy Vella, socialist shouted: "Oil exists, for there is still In stock the whole production of last year. It is yon who is hid ing it" The entire left attacked Signer Murialdi. -who stood impassive with his hands in his pockets. Uf any one has specifio accusa tion," he said finally, "he has only to bring It forward. I will Inexorably punish whoever is guilty of profiteer ing in oiL" Wo will do It," was the retort of Deputy Bombacci, while Deputy Bar- beris, who was formerly a cart driv er, shouted in thunder tones, "You buy oil at 350 lire and sell it at 1300, cammora, cammoral" The tumult which was indescribable, was height ened when a voice was heard yelling from the public gallery, "Shut up!"

AUTO TOOr CALLS OWNER . - . Wires Become Crossed and Two Thieves Are Scared Away. LOS ANGELES, Cat. Feb. . Dr. F. F. Abbott left hie automobile at the curb In front of his office early yesterday. Two would-be thieves came along and tried to drive away, but the electrical system got short cir cuited with the horn wires, and the I horn started, while the car did not. The prolonged "toot" attracted pedestrians who did not know that the men in the car were interlopers. The pedestrians gave advice, and the men grew nervous. Then Dr. Abbott heard the familiar sound, looked out and came out, and the men took to their heels. The doctor cut the horn wires, stopped the noise, and tele phoned, his report to the police, WASHINGTON, Feb. t. Definite plans for the first nation-wide, ag gressive political campaign by or ganised labor to control congress and elect friendly national and state offi cials have been made by a committee of the American Federation of Labor, and will be announced soon. The fight, .labor officials declared today, will be bi-partisan, and will be launched in the coming presidential primaries. Organisation details have been formulated by a committee composed of the executive council and depart ment presidents of the Federation, which has been in session for two days. Samuel Gompers said tonight that an explanation of the move ment wouM be made public tomorrow. The committee formulating plans was appointed by Gompers In accordance wtth instructions to the general lapor conference here last December 13, to put into effect the "declaration of principles" adopted at that time. - Foe in Congress Attacked. Representatives in congress whose records show them to be unfriendly to organized labor, it was said by members cf the committee, will be opposed vigorously for re-election, and new candidates hostile to labor's interests will meet the same opposi tion. Every craft affiliated with the Federation will be called upon to Join in the fight, it was added, and congressional districts will be active- canvassed, and an army of organ- zers will be put in the field. The Federation now claims a membership of more than 4,000,000. In addition, the campaign will be carried into state and local primaries and elections, and an attempt made to obtain governors. Judges and legis lators well disposed toward labor. Labor leaders explained that while an effort would be made to enlist the support of the farmers, no third party movement is considered advisable. No attempt to reach an agreement with national farm organizations will be made, but the appeal will be ad dressed directly to the workers them selves, it was said. Brotherhood Avoids Question. The co-operation of friendly state and local farm organizations, how ever, is hoped for, particularly In North Dakota, Minnesota and adjoin ing states where the Non-partisan league has gained a hold, and In New York, South Carolina and other states having strong farmers organizations. Chiefs of the four big railroad brotherhoods now in Washington for wage conferences with the director- general shied at any political discus sion when asked today if the railroad employes were aligned with the fed eration In the contemplated fight Warren S. Stone, chief of the loco motive engineers, said that he bad been too busy with other matters and had talked to no one regarding the projected scheme. On the other hand the week's issue of "Labor," the official organ of the Plumb plan league, will have as its leading editorial a call to "90,000.000 wage earners and farmers" to organ ize now to elect their quota of .con gressmen. Workers Wanted la Congress. H. E. Wills, chairman of the legis lative committee of the brotherhoods, and L. E. Sheppard, president of the conductors, are members of the ed itorial board of Labor. The editorial declares that there should be at least 200 workers and farmers in congress, instead of the lawyers, the bankers, the trust bar ons and the mine operators now holding seats. 'Labor and the farmer have the votes," the editorial says, "They only eed to mobilize these votes for re sults. They should begin to organize ow. It will be too late after the primaries close. And there never was greater reason for such a union and for such an action than now." The editorial condemns the return of the railroads to private ownership, universal military training, interven tion in Mexico, anti-strike legisla tion and a new alien and sedition law. Privilege, it says, wants "an at torney-general of its own choosing, so it can put men in Jail for even dis cussing the right to strike." .. . "In a republican district a man should be nominated who can be re lied upon to oppose these things," it continues. "In a democratic district a democrat should be nominated who will oppose these things." Women's Panne Velvet Bags In popular styles with large mirror. They come in black, navy, brown and taupe.
