PARLEY TO
AID US. IDLE,
Hoover Prepares Plan TO
Bring Best Brains To
Bear On Problem.
CALLED BY HARDING
CALLED BY HARDING
Unthinkable That Our Own People
Should Want, Says Secretary-To
Meet Next Month.

Washington, Aug. 29.-President
Harding will call national confer
ence, representative of the whole
country to meet here next month to
inquire into the unemployment prob
lem.
Announcement or the President S
intention was made tonight by Secre-
tary Hoover, who was asked to for
mulate plans for the gathering. These,
he said, would be ready for the Presi-
dent within ten days.
"The object of the conference" Mr..
Hoover said, "will be to inquire into
the volume of needed employment, the
distribution Of unemployment, to make
recommendations is the measures that
can properly be taken in co-ordinated,
speeding up of employment by indus
tries and public bodies during the
next winter, and, in, addition, board
study of economic measures desirable
to areliorate the Unemployment situa-
tion and give impulse to the recovery
of business and commerce to normal.
Many constructive suggestions have
been made to the department by en-
ployers, Governors of States and by
city officials
While it has been determined to
keep the number at the conference as
small as possible, he said, so that the
work may be done with expedition, it
is intended to invite representatives
of the greater groups of Industries
and thought, and the cooperation of
national organizations will be sought
in their selection.
The personnel of the conference, M.
Hoover added, will be made up so as
to represent the country geographical
ly. The Commerce Department is to
cooperate with the Labor Department
on representation of labor.
"While the business situation IS
steadily improving" Mr.. Hoover stat
ed. "some sections OF the workers may
have exhausted their savings by the
coming winter, and these must become
matter of extreme solicitude. It
is inconccivable that America, with
it's surplus OF food and clothing, with
housing-though crowded-and with
an abundance of fuel, could allow suf-
fcring among those of our own people
who desire to work"

To Gust Democrats

Harry NJ. Daugherty, the Repub..
lican Attorney General is making it
very uncomfortable these days for
Democratic U. S. Marshals and At
torneys throughout the U. S. Re-
publican Senator's and Congressman
are urging the Department of JUS
tice and appoint Republican hench-
men ;r their places. The latest VIC
tim of the Republican headsman is
Marshal Mccarthy at New York.
Mccarthy, a Democrat, has been
given notice that his successor vii
be appointed on November /. Pat
ronage grabbers are hard at work N
Washington just now, and there is
a general demand from Republican
statesmen and politicians that lucra-
tive places now held by Democrats
shall be turned over to Republicans
in all parts of the country.

Hits G.. 0. p. Congress

George White, Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, IS
performing great service in calling
the attention Of the country to The
fact that Republican Congress has
seen fit to take an adjournment with
out passing any Of the important
measures for which the special seS-
sion was called to enact. He points
with pride to the record of the for
mer Democratic Congress, which
continued in session without single
break until after it had accomplish
ed everything it was intended should
be done. But the Republican Con-
gress, both Senate and House, IS
wasted its time and the NOR :

Investigations and what not, W
actually placing upon the ST. }
books a single piece OF leglslal /
for the good of the country in gene
raj. There will be reckoning day
and that day is not far distant, in
the judgment Of Democrats in Wash

ences in federal prisons will be i, l.,
PEELED to continue their terms uLtil
after the treaty of peace between
the United States and Germany has
been ratified by the United States

tween the two countries. Despite
the fact that great deal of pressure
has boen brought to bear upon the
President to grant a pardon to

Criticise Republicans

A good deal of unfavorable criti-
cism, especially in Democratic cir
cles is heard at the Capitol these
days over the failure of the White
House and State Department, in for
mulating a treaty of peace with
Germany to make any mention IL
the pact agreed upon about the trial
of the former Kaiser, now sojourn-
ing in Holland and enjoying all lux
uries just as if he were still the
reigning of Germany. 1t had been
expected that the treaty would make
some provision for the trial of the
former German Emperor but there
is not a word in the text of the doc
ument which refers to this matter.
1t is doubtful if Kaiser Wilhelm will
ever be brought before the bar OF
justice to answer for his many
crimes

Dreadnaughts Victors
Defeat Triple AS By Score OF 10 to
4 In First of Series for Cham
pionship.

| The Dreadnaught Athletic Club
baseball team defeated the Alexan-
dria Athletic Club baseball nine IN
the first of three game series for
the Independent Baseball champion
ship of northern Virginia Yesterday
by the following score: Dreadnaughts,
ii; Triple AS i.
( The game was fairly well played
and was exciting from start to fin
ish and the excitement caused many
OF the fans to act like the old-tlme
( plaster -of-paris spider with wise
spring legs that would wriggle when
ever, any person would place 1t sud
denly before some unsuspectlng VIC
tim and cause them to make flip
flops and Somersaults.
The circus is not due in this city
until Tuesday, but Frye, the Dread
naught's twirler, surely had some OF
the Triple a lads standing on their
heads and performing other gymnas-
tic feats during the game yesterday.
Frye was given great support by his
teammates, who also put the scores
over the home plate that won the
game. Every member of the Dread
naughts played their positions in a
crcditable manner. 1t is true, that
several errors were made, but they
are excusable.
! While the Triple AS lost their first
game of the series, they are deserving
of the highest praise for their manly
traits in trying hard to win when fate
seemed against them. They are nc
cutters. either, for some of those lads
who battled in the Triple AS Lineup

WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY
(From Our Special Correspondent y

tFfoW Ouf Special correspondent
Washington, Aug. 29.-The Sen
ate Finance Committee has at last
decided to lay aside further hear
Jugs C. the Republican tariff bill
and to begin consideration Of the re-
vision of the tax law. Chairman
,Penrose of the Finance Committee
is hoping that BIZ the time Congress
reconvenes afer the recess, the tax
revision b::l will be ready TO report
to the Senate.
Up to date, the Finance Commit
tee has completed hearings on only
one fourth Of the tariff bill. 1t does
not seem possible that this measure
will be ready for consideration Of
the Senate before the regular Con-
gressional session which meets the
first Monday in December. When 4
tariff bill will be placed upon the
statute books is problema teal
Shrewd observers believe it will be
we'll into next spring before the
present Underwood law is superseded
by what VIII be known as the Ford

President Held By Business

President Harding would like to
get away from official cares during
the present recess of Congress but
he finds that there are so many MAJ
ters of public Importance demanding
his attention that it is doubtful if he
can escape from Washington for
more than a few days at time: It
seems that the Presidents wishes
have to be consulted before a member
of the Cabinet or head of any IN
portant government bureau taxes ac-
ton upon any problem before him.
The Chief Executive, it appears,
must pass upon such matters in
person. That is why he finds HIM
self tangled up in the meshes Of gov
ernment activities. Apparently, he IS
not willing to leave the solution of
any question TO his subordinates in
cffice.
