FOR UNEMPLOYED
Many Appear Before House
Labor Committee in
Favor of Bills.

man out of work, sitting at the
window Of cold tenement, with his
wife standing over a tumbled-down bed
in which three children had been
cuddled to keep warm-this being a
part of the great picture of poverty in
Chicago one winter twenty years ago
was described before the House COM
mittee Labor day by Representative
Victor Murdock of Kansas. Murdoch
saw the poverty in the tenement house,
he being a newspaper reporter at the
time, and the sight of that particular
hard luck was the germ of the MUIR
dock bill for federal employment offices
and federal aid to the great problem
Of the unemployed.
THE mans back was toward me as
entered the room" said Mr.. Murdock,
''and / would have gone to him to speak
but the woman said, Don't bother him,
his heart Is gone
That Is the reason for much of the
suffering of the unemployed. There is no
general scheme for the settlement of this
great out-of-work problem. Private en-
ployment agencies in many instances
practice fraud and deception on the man
who has lost heart
Mr.. Murdock quoted from New York
report to the effect that laborers who are
employed through private agencies are
obtained often through gross misstate-
ments as to the character of work. pay
and quality of treatment, shelter, etc.
Many Give Their Views.
Many students of sociological conditions
appeared before the labor committee to-
day, which was presided over temporarily
by Representative Casey of Pennsylvania,
in the interest Of the Murdock bill. or the
Macdonald bill for using the. post office
organization in the general scheme for
federal labor employment Office. One OF
the new schemes advanced was packed
by Manuel F. Behar, representing the
National Liberal Immigration League Oh
New York city
In brief, the league favors the publi-
cation of a daily labor bulletin showing
the status of work and Unemployment
throughout the United States, and
also favored some plan whereby the army
Of the unemployed could be transported
to the section where workmen are need
ed. such as the wheat fields. when the
crop la heavier than the hands can take
care of, etc.
Others appearing were DIR. John B. An

PLAZA PAYMENTS
TO Be MADE SOON
Vice President and Speaker to
Be Members of New
Commission.
PLAN is AGREED UPON
FOR ENDING LONG DELAY
Claims Which Are Admittedly Just
to Be Settled Without Further
Court Action.

A plan for prompt payment of the long
delayed Union station plaza property
awards was agreed upon today by the
House committee on public buildings and
grounds.
This contemplates the creation of an
entirely new commission, on which Vice
President Marshall and Speaker Clark
perhaps will be members: the immediate
payment of the awards in the cases
where there is no dispute as to the JUS
tice of the amount awarded; the power
to recondemn in any instance where
there is a question as to the justice of
the amount awarded by the previous
procedure.

SUFFRAGE ADVOCATES
AGAIN BES|EGE HENRY
Ask Special Rule Permitting Vote at
the Present Session of
Congress.

Again today suffrage advocates be-
slesed Chairman Henry Of the House
rules committee for special rule allow
ing the suffrage amendment to be voted
upon at this session of Congress. A
delegation of West Virginia women, led
by Representatives NJ NJ. Neely, demo-
crat, and Hunter Holmes Moss a re-
publican, waited upon Mr.. Henry.
Mr.. Henry would make no promise of
favorable action at this session, but
promised that the question of suffrage
for women would be voted upon at the
next session of Congress.
Miss Doris Stevens, executive secretary
of Congressional Union, is leaving Wash
ington this evening to do campaign work
in the interests Of equal suffrage in Ohio.
Mrs. Jessie Hardy Stubs. chairman of
the press committee of the National AS
sociation of Women voters, is to deliver
a speech in Wilmington tomorrow night
at q dinner of the progressive party lead
ers. where she Is to tell what the women
have done toward securing equal suf-
frage and what they propose to do in the
fall campaign
Congressman Get Cards.
Members of Congress have just received
a vest pocket suffrage status card issued
by the national congressional committee.
The card, about the size of base bali
schedule, shows at a glance the history
of the woman suffrage movement in the
United States measured by the results
and It's present status.
a list Of the states where women have
been given full suffrage is arranged in
chronological order. commencing with
Wyoming, which came into the Union as
an equal suffrage state in 1869.
The vest pocket card also shows the
foreign countries where women have
equal suffrage and those in which they
have important municipal suffrage.

Prompt Payment Planned.

The committees leading idea is to pay
the money to the people whose land and
credit has been tied up for so long time
on a complaint which was directed at a
small portion of the entire transaction;
and also to close up the matter with the
minimum delay and expense For that
reason the committee today ordered the
special subcommittee which has been
handling the plaza subject to report a
bill Monday which will reach the de-
sired ends. That special subcommittee
is composed of Representatives Burnett,
Logue, Sumner and Barton.
The possibility of Speaker Clark on the
committee augurs we'll for a speedy
method of paying those unfortunate prop
erty holders who are the victims of cir
cumstance in the delay, as it Is under
stood the Speaker Is entirely in SYM
pathy with them.
Personnel of Commission.
Members of the special subcommittee
would not discuss the personnel of the
new commission, but from private
sources it was learned that Speaker
Clark would be asked to serve, and that
Vice President Marshall would also be
urged to take position on the commits
sion and put an end to the dissat1sfac-
ton and distress which the tie-up has
caused.
The reason for the creation of a new
commission to start afresh is obvious
Former Speaker Cannon is many miles
away. former Vice President Sherman
is dead and Elliott Woods, superintendent
of the Capitol has disliked to go ahead
as sole remaining member of the COM
mission on the ground, unless he had
specific authority. 1t is probable he will
be made a member of the new commits
sion, however, as his advice in the matter
is looked upon as being of extreme value.
1t is probable the new commission will
pay Immediately many Of the property
holders without bothering to enter on
new legal proceedings.

Some Skepticism Manifested
at Conference as Carranza's
Reply Is Awaited.
C0NSTITUTIONALIST AGENT
HERE REMAINS OPTIMISTIC
Administration Officials Continue to
Urge Participation of Rebels
at Niagara Falls.

NIAGARA FALLS. Ont, June 5.-The
general attitude here in regard to the
expected reply from Gen. Carranza- chief
Of the constItutionalist cause in Mexico,
to the note the South American media
tors sent him last Tuesday through his
representatives In Washington is a mix
ture of doubt and hope.
In some quarters there was more or
less skepticism manifested. 1t was evi-
dent some believed Carranza's response
would be negative. but it was hoped 1t
would leave open the door for continued
correspondence.
Semi-offlcial statements in regard to the
attitude OF Carranza toward the media
ton proceedings indicate he is not ready
to accept unreservedly the offer Of good
offices practically renewed by the medi-
ators.
A question which aroused interest here
today was as to when Carranza. who is
reported en- route from Durango to Sal
tillo. would reach the latter city, where
he is preparing to establish his provision
al government. While no meetings be-
tween the mediators and either the
American or Mexican delegates were
scheduled for the day. the mediators
themselves planned to get together to
discuss the latest phases of the situation.
Optimism Reflected Here.
Carranza's statement that he would not
reply to the last note of the South Ameri-
can envoys until he reached Saltillo from
Durango confirmed the belief of adminis-
tration officials today that the constitu-
tialists final attitude toward entering the
Niagara conference would not be known
fn,- tbraa nr fo,,r davs
Optimism expressed at Niagara Falls
that Carranza would decide to take part
in the proceedings was reflected here.
The statement of Rafael Zuburan. the
constitutionalists' chief representative In
Washington. attracted widespread atten-
ton.
Affairs are getting better he said.
when asked directl! as to the likelihood
of Carranza's participation in the con-
ference. He did not expect, however. To
receive an answer from his chief before
late tomorrow or Sunday.
Meanwhile officials of the administra-
ton continued their conferences with
Carranza's S agents. urging them to recon-
mend that a favorable reply be sent to
the mediators.

Semi Official Statement of
Those Close to Gen. Carranza
Jeers at Mediation Plans

Ell PASO, June 5.-Gen. Carranza an
nounced yesterday through agents here
that he would not make answer to the
communication of the mediators. nor is
sue his proclamation dealing with the
formation of a provisional government
in northern Mexico until he had reached
Saltillo.
At the same time it was announced
that the constitutionalist commander-in-
chief had departed from Durango on his
way to Saltillo by way of Torreon.
The delay in the issuance of the proc
lamation is believed to have been caused
by some phase of the Niagara Falls con-
ference and by the reported desire OF
Carranza formally to establish himself as
provisional president at Saltillo.
Speculation Over New Military Zone
Gen. Villa was reported as preparing to
move south from Chihuahua City to meet
Carranza at Torreon, and thence to pro-
ceed south on the campaigns against
Zacatecas and San Luis Potosi. Mean
while, the creation of a new central mill
tary zone in command of Gen. Natera,
which was made yesterday by CarranZa.
continued to cause speculation as to it's
effect on Villas military plans.
The opinions of those surrounding Car
rama regarding the three-cornered con-
ference at Niagara was reflected once
more In a semi-official statement from
Durango.
The statement follows:
".Hamlet with Hamlet left out is
the way many constitutionalist leaders
here expressed themselves today regard
ing the conferences at Niagara Falls.
That a plan can be found to settle in
terror affairs in Mexico without the par
ticipation of the constitutionalist govern
ment is regarded by them as impossible.
They point out that the only party di-
rectly interested III Mexico which has
been represented in the formation of the
Niagara Falls plans has been that OF
Huerta.
Reiterates Rebels Position.
This party. defeated by the constitu-
tionalists at every point is in the throes
of dissolution and is in no condition to
fulfill any pledges that might be made.
The constitutionalists have declared re-
peatedly that the sole solution of the
internal difficulties of the country was
the elimination of Huerta and his party
from politics
The constitutionalists emphasize the
fact that they will recognize only gov
ernment organized under the plan of
Guadalupe at the triumph of the revolu-
tion. BY this time the commander-in-
chief of the constitutionalist party will
be provisional President of Mexico. while
elections are being verified and constitu-
tional order is restored.
..In a word. the constitutionalists think
II would be well for the commission to
acouaint themselves with the facts before
themselves to a program
which there is no possibility of their
carrying out.

PARISH MAKES STATEMENT THAT
CITY DID NOT WITHDRAW 70
JOIN OTHER LEAGUE.

PRESIDENT Randall Parish of the Re.
vance baseball team has issued
s,a'oineht relative to stories that were
circulated In the Chicago and Aurora
papers regarding the Illinois city's
wlthdrawal from the Central associa.
tlon' Mr.. Parish states that these
articles would lead the reader to the
concllslon that Kewanee withdrew
WIN the sole intention of Joining an
o,her league. This he emphatically
aenles The following is taken rom
MS article as printed in the Kewanee
StarCourier:
IL is, under the circumstances, re.
gretable that such remarks should
nave been made, and given wide cir.
culatlon. In the first place. no such
new league Is being organized. or be.
ing seriously considered so far as we
Know. Certainly neither Kewanee nor
Monmouth withdrew from the Central
ASSOCIATION with any thought OF unit.
ing with any such organization of iii.
hois citles. kewanee withdrew solely
ana only because of lack of support.
ana the utter fmpossibilty to raise the
iunas necessary to continue the game.
ne continued refusal of the solicit
ing committee to acknowledge their
inability to raise the required amount
this constant asking Of more time
prevented the disposal by sale of the
payers under contract, and cost us
several hundred dollars. while now to
scatter widespread baseless report
that we retired from the Central asso-
cation for the mere purpose of con-
Meeting ourselves with the formation
Not new. and rival. league, might de.
velop q prejudice against us which
may result in even greater loss. The
Central association has taken charge
or our players. and is endeavoring to
DISPOSE of them to our advantage.
keWanee retired from organized bal,
honorably and for the best of reasons
because only $4,000 persons attended
the game last year, and because the
committee succeeded in getting n
guarantee list of $4,000 for the next
season. This is the reason we quit.
and the only reason We had then,
and we have now. no thought or inten-
I ton of entering any other league
Neither. SO far as we have known
have any of the other towns mentioned
lin the article.
