Thirty Experts to Act

Hoover Announces, After Talk

VIII Be Represented
WASHINGTON, Sept. s.--After con-
ference with the President to-day Sec
retary Of Commerce Hoover estimated
that at least thirty delegates would be
summoned to the conference on employ
ment to be held here soon. With Sec
retary Of Agriculture Wallace Mr..
Hoover discussed the details of the con-
ference for q half hour with the Exec
utive. 1t was first thought that not
more than twenty delegates would be
designated to discuss ways and means
of reducing unemployment.
The idea is to get experts in various
lines so far as possible" said Mr..
Hoover. alt was hoped that we might
keep the number down to twenty, but
we find that in order to have the va
rious groups of labor and employees
represented it will be necessary to
stipulate ten more"
Secretary Hoover has not completed
his work on the program for the confer
ence, except to state that it will be
called within two weeks. He expects to
submit tentative plans to the members
CT the Cabinet tomorrow at the regular
meeting. 1t is believed that following
the discussion Of these plans the Presi-
dent personally will announce or direct
Mr. Hoover to make public the person
mel of the experts to be called into con-
ference. The President desires that
every group and class of labor ard en-
ployees be represented.
Surveys are being made of the unem-
ployment situation throughout the
country which will be submitted to rhs
conference.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune

CHICAGO, Sept. S.-A strike of the
plumbers employed on the s5,0O0,O0o
Speedway Hospital was begun to-day
as o protest against Judge Lands's
building award, in which their craft
was given 95 cents an hour. The strike
will delay the arrival Of 1900 wounded
and disabled soldiers who were sched-
uled to go to the hospital in the next
two weeks
L. ". Steece, government superin-
tendent of construction. called on
Judge Lands to-day seeking advice on
methods of dealing with the plumbers
strike. Judge Lands told him that it
was not a matter for him to decide,
but would have to be handled by the
sub-contractofs engaged in government
work.
There were other unuthorized. spora,
dc wall-outs on the various buildings
being constructed throughout the city
despite the efforts of union officials to
hold them in check Hundreds of
workers--principally members of the
trades which received the large cuts in
pay-walked off Of the jobs leaving
the building situation for the moment
in the most chaotic state it has ex-
perienced since the arbitration pro-
ceedings began.
Some of the workers went back on
the job to-day and others are expected
to return tomorrow. Both contractors
and union officials believe the situation
will adjust itself within a week, as the
men themselves secome more familiar
with the operation C., the new agree
ments.
The unions which received the larg.
est cuts in pay were those which re-
fused to waive certain rules making
for greater economic waste, and for
these organizations Judge Lands left
the "back door" open if they change
their minds before November I.
Chief among these crafts, besides the
plumbers, are the gasfitters and steam
filters, marble settlers, composition
roofers, cement finishers and few
smaller organizations.

called for.
"This is one of the men that you
used during the war. What will you
do with him now? How much will you
bid for this mans services for week
in order that he may have food and
shelter?" the auctioneer asked. Bids
were then made, but when they were
called those who had made them had
slipped away Ferris was then de-
clared to be without bidder.
A dog was brought to the block. He
was knocked down for S. with the con-
dition, accepted by the successful bid
der. that he be returned to the "Church
of the Unemployed" as its mascot.
John Mitchell, q negro, was then
called. His shoes were without soles
and his clothing was ragged. Reply
ing to Ledoux's questions he said he
had been without food for days at
time in the six months he had been
out of job.
There was no bidder for his services
and the auctioneer called on the crowd
to pledge him food and shelter for
week. Mrs. Annie jackson, of the
Charlestown district, responded and
went the auctioneer one better by say
ing she would be responsible for
Mitchell's substenance and shelter for
. second week if necessary. John
Farley, of Dorchester, wearing a G. A.
R. button, added a dollar, another man
promised suit of clothes, and third
man passed LedouX 50 bill to "buy
some beans for the boys"
William Davis, boy of eighteen
years, out of job for year, was offered
to the crowd as one willing to work. He
said he had kept himself going for a
time on $500 that he had saved. but
had reached the end of his rope and was
in hunger yesterday. He was promised
a home for week by Mrs. J. H. Gran
niger, and the man who promised the
clothing to Mitchell gave So to Davis.
With no bids for the three men set
up Ledoux suspended his auction, an
nouncing that it would be repeated to-
morrow.

In 63 Hours, Breaking Record

Miss Milla Gade. woman swimming
champion of Denmark. climbed lad
der to Pier A at the Battery, at 10:57
a. m. yesterday, with new but invisible
laurels on her sleekly capped brow, hav-
ing made record breaking swim from
Albany.
1t was $3.50 Friday morning when
she entered the Hudson River at AL
bany and although little more than
six days had elapsed since her start
her actual swimming time for the 143
miles was sixtythrce hours and thirty
five minutes. She lost six pounds in
weight III the six days, but she re-
marked laughingly that she could
spare them easily.
A letter from Mayor Watts, of Al
bany to Mayor Hylan, which Miss Gade
carried in water-t tight packet, was
accepted by Murray Hubert, Dock
Commissioner, who was at the pier to
greet her.
During tho swim, Miss Gadc was ac-
companied by a launch, in which we're

be responsible for the consequences.
The Lord Mayor subsequently appeared
and assured the leaders in the demon
stration that plan would be formulat-
ed for finding work.
One of the most notable demonstra-
tons occurred in Wales, where 1000
persons marched across the mountains
from Abertillery to Tredegar, a dis

festation in Sunderland eliminated in
an attempt to force the gates of the

seen death. It's grim presence terrified
him. That the deplorable thing had
been an accident, due to his faulty

for W. W. Pepper Of Springfield, a
stanch Wing, and once blacksmith.
Despite their irreconcilable political

Pepper became a Judge in 1854, and
after a visit to Johnson, then governor
set about fashioning a shovel, when
he sent with note explaining 1t was
intended as a mOmento of a friendship
proof against all political differences
Johnson, to show his appreciation,
took up his scissors and needle and
made handsome beaver cloth coat

Johnson ever did, and exists to this
