Tfre tr
trouble really startetd, he
said, at La Oroya, a mining town
not far from Malpaso. - Radical
organisers had aroused the men
, there to strike, and when news of
this action reached Malpaso work
men in that town threw down
their tools.
Walkout Paralyses
Power House
The walkout paralysed the
power house which runs most of
the smelting plants, and the local
constabulary hurried an armed

TAX BUMS SOUGHT
Sensenich Reports on A. B.
A. Meet; Thinks Branch
System Certain
i t:.
E. H. Sensenich. vice president
of the ; United States National
bank of Portland, was , a - leading
speaker at the session of the an
nual meeting of group two of the
Oregon Bankers association held
at the Marion hotel following a
banquet last evening. An after
noon session was held in the
ehamber of commerce rooms
where technical problems of
banking were discussed. Mr. Sen
senich reviewed the proceedings
of the American bankers associa
tion meeting . la Cleveland last
month and reported that the as
sociation committee favored a
modification of the section In
the federal banking act which
caused recent trouble over the
taxing of banking institutions.
Because of the wording of the
present law, national - banks re
ceived court relief from general
taxes levied on their shares on
the ground ; that other financial
Institutions were escaping. The
A. B. A. committee now recom
mends modification of the law
which will permit reasonable tax
es based on earnings, and apply
ing to all similar Institutions.
Attitude of Bankers
Varies on Branch Banks
He also reported a difference
in the attitude of prominent
bankers toward multiple or
branch 'banking. Faced with the
failure of 5700 banks in the
country in the past ten years
some eminent bankers previously
opposed to i branch banking are
now disposed to permit the spread
of this system. Mr. Sensenich ex
pressed his own conviction that
multiple banking is coming sure
although strong Independent
banks will ; continue to operate.
Group- banking he stated was
only an Intermediate step toward
actual branch making. The A. B.
A. resolution favored such devel
opment within cities and within
rural areas, subject to the par
ticular legislation of each state
on the subject..
The,, feeling . of social unrest
was very noticeable at Cleveland,
and many gestures of hostility to
ward the visiting bankers were
noted from the crowds In the city
park who - were said to be com
munists. Mr. Sensenich urged the

deep 7 today Into the actual en
forcement of prohibition - in- the
United States and then recessed
for ten days to permit individual
work on Jts tdry law report.
Prohibition Director Amos
W. W. Woodcock, appearing be
fore the commission for the first
time since its prohibition deliber
ations began, laid before- the
members the enforcement .facts
demonstrated by his organisa
tion system, which he believes is
the best that can be devised.
' Earlier, Henry S. Dennison, a
prominent Boston manufacturer
who has been engaged for more
than a year in studying for the
commission the existing enforce
ment organisation and Its person
nel, delivered his report. '
Meanwhile comparative quiet
prevailed over the rest ot the

Added to Personnel
Attorney General Mitchell said
he was backing to the limit the
prohibition director's plan to add
500 men to the prohibition en
forcement personnel and would
urge it before the house appropri
ation committee.
From Capitol Hill, came a
statement - from Representative
Dyer, republican, Missouri, an
antl-prohibitlonist. predicting if
the Wickersham commission
would report favorably for - mod
ification to permit- the manufac

ident Hoover approved- the re
port. It . would be enacted at the
coming short session ot congress.
As the law enforcement com
mission, adjourned, today ;there
was some optimism among- its
members that they could get to
gether on a report. If not by the
predicted "early in December"at
least by the end of that month.
From within the ranks came the
prediction, also, that the report
might be almost unanimous in
Its recommendations, but with
possible dissension by one or two
members.
The attorney general, in dis
cussing the situation brought
about by a California concern's
campaign to sell grape concen

Portland Attorney Probable
Speaker of new House;
Gordon Opponent
Frank J. Lonergan, Salem vis
itor yesterday, asserts he has 37
definite pledges for the speaker
ship of the next house ot repre
sentatives. He has Just completed
a "double check" following the
election upsets and it shows he
has six nrore votes than neces
sary to win the eoveted post of
presiding officer. Lonergan, who
is a prominent Portland attorney,
was here on business before the
state supreme court.
In the pre-election "sounding
out process Lonergan was gen
erally credited with being In the
lead over Herbert W. Gordon,
also ot Portland. Several jolts to
old members, occurred on the re
cent Ill-fated November 4 th and
both candidates were forced to
recast their line-ups. Several pre
viously pledged to Lonergan fail
ed to make the last hurdle, while
Gordon lost a powerful ally-in
MCapy Kahlt ,af -PfittUmU. Ionr,
gan has evidently been able to
rebuild his fences in short order.
Chance for Dark Horse
Very Slight
When the definiteness ot his
pledges becomes known then it
will be pretty much of a bandwa
gon proposition unless the Gor
don forces decide to keep on
fighting In hopes of dividing the
opposition before the legislature
meets. The announcement of
Lonergan as to his pledges. If it
proves to be correct as the lead
ers of the house soon can ascer
tain, will effectually squelch any
more toward bringing in a third
candidate as a dark horse.
Some 1 political gossip rated
Loner agn as likely to be opposed
to the coming Meier administra
tion, but Lonergan has already
extended congratulations to the
governor-elect and assurances of
his desire to co-operate with Mr.
Meier. The majority of the Mar
Ion county delegations has been
lined up behind Lonergan, which
would be of advantage in case
Lonergan does become the speak
er of the next house.

(AP) This was a bitter night
in Lyons, as workmen thrust
crowbars under the debris ot 12
ruined homes, half fearful ot
what they would find beneath as
the toll of a landslide took per
haps as many as 100 lives.
As night fell they had recov

ruins along the slope of the
Fourviere hill where the ground
slid from under a dozen houses
this morning, tumbling them, in
upon ' themselves ' and burying
men. women and children. : -
Police and firemen hurried to
the vicinity as the first thunder
clap of the catastrophe startled
the city. Twenty-five of them
moved unafraid into the ruins to
bring out the Injured, and were
buried under walls which top
pled in upon them without warn

About the scene of horror to
night . the families of those who
were lost, sobbed as the work
went slowly along. Volunteers
were scarce after that group of
police and firemen had perished
and the task of caring for the
