STEAMSHIP LINE
SCORED BY HASSEL
Washington, Nov. 21 (IP) The go
vernment would be fully justified in
cancelling the mail contract of the
Tacoma Oriental Steamship line,
Calvin W. Hassel, counsel for the
postoffice department, said today at
the ocean mail subsidy hearing.
Hassel alleged that the firm not
only had failed to meet its agree
ment with the postoffice calling for
partial reconditioning, and replace
ment of its fleet.
Hassel said the line is- "unimport
ant," never has been opera tring pro
fitably, and gives no indication of
ever showing any profit. As a mail
route, Hassel said, the line is a
farce.
"The government should cancel
the contract immediately," Hassel
said, "and write off the money al
ready spent on its development."
Elmer M. Hayden, counsel for the
company, said the company could
not survive without the contract. !
The agreement, was completed in
1929, to run for 10 years, at an an
nual rate of $330,000.

CITY GRAPPLES
WITH LABQRITES
Los Angeles, Nov. 21 (IP Trans
portation companies and their em
ploycs tightened grips today In
deadlock on wage demands and
union recognition which threatened
to paralyze every medium of public
transportation in Los Angeles and
interurban service to surrounding
cities.
Conferences called by the region
al labor board were futile, and
strike appeared to be imminent.
The latest blow to conciliation ef
forts was the flat refusal of the
Los Angeles Railway corporation,
operator of both trolleys and busses,
to accepc arbitration.
Meanwhile the Pacific Eleetrlo
railway, operator of interurban
trains and busses, also remained
firm in refusal to meet employes'
demands.
Members of the Amalgamated
Street Car and Electric Workers un
ion and the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen continued a strike vote,
expected to be completed today. The
vote, leaders claimed, was 90 per
cent in favor of a walkout. The
next step, if a strike is voted, would
be to set a date. More than 2500
employes are affected.
RULING MADE IN
MORROW CASE
Conviction of a crime, an offense-
involving a violation of oath, judg

bond or violation of the corrupt prac
tices act are the only reasons for
wnich tne governor of the state may
declare a vacancy of the office of
any public officer, the attorney gen
eral held today in an opinion to S,
E. Nbtson, Morrow county, district
attorney.
Notson sought the ruling in the
case of the Morrow county clerk
wno, alter being acquitted of a
charge of larceny of public funds,
later admitted shortages in his ac
counts. Notson questioned the right
of the clerk to continue in office.
"I do not find any other provi
sions of law under which a public
officer of this state or any of its
political subdivisions or agencies
snail lorieic tne unexpired portion
oi ins term oi oitice, or may be re
moved thcrcirom, except for a con
viction of a violation of the corrupt
practice act, which is not involved
in the question under considera
tion," the attorney general said.
"Inasmuch as the county clerk
has not been convicted for a viola
tion of any of the provisions of law
referred to and no Judgment has
been obtained against him for a
breach of the conditions of his offi
cial bond, it is my opinion that your
question should be answered in the
negative."

The program Involved rigid col
lections of federal taxes in a round

federal axoise tax if thoy are selling

laws.
In addition, retail dealers must

plied to wot states for technical
violations but said that enforce
ment facilities ore too limited to
undertake that now.

(By the United Press)
marly winter rain, snow and wind
storms swept the United states to
day bringing damage to property on
land and- disaster to boats on the
Great Lakes.
Preoipitation of one kind or an
other was- falling today from the
oast coast to the Rockies and a cold
wave was predicted for tonight to
turn the rain Into snow and wet
streets into dangerous icy thorough
fares. Poor visibility due to the storm
was blamed for a collision In Lake
Huron between the steamers Frana
and Edward R. Loomis. bringing
death to four members of the Fraus'
crew.
Tho rain reached cloudburst m-n.
portions, in the south. At Memphis
homes were flooded and property
damaged when more than 9 Inches
ofi rain fell within 12 hours.
Weather experts said the storm
had its center In a low pressure
area near Dallas, Tex., from which.
it spread fan-like into California
Utah and Nevada on the west,
northward to Mlnesntu .nj .:
ward to beyond the Alloghanles.
A separate disturbance was re
ported from Florida where south
