great disadvantage and embarrassment.
He said that it is difficult to keep the
market space fully rented and be-
cause of this the company is losing
money. Also, that prospective ten
ants are holding or signing leases. or
else they sign only very short-term

troll. might not continue their lease.
Senator Scott stated further that
the market tenants "are trying to
cut down rentals. delay in signing
leases. and do other things that the
general uncertainty Of the situation
warrants"
The selection of the three men to
serve on this commission was left by
the President to the bureau of mar

pleaded with Congress to act on the
railroad bill before 1t recessed SO that
an improvement in the industrial sit

refused to allow the plea to interfere
with its plans for months vacation.
Business Men Want Tax Fixed.
Fourth, Congress has debated first
the tariff and then the revenue bill. and
has failed to pass either one. The ad-
ministration has urged action right
along. contending that the business
men of the country want to know what
their taxes will be before they make
any plans for expansion or the reopen
ing Of factories now closed down. t
is practically as difficult to operate
business without knowing the size Of
the years tax bill as to try to get
along without knowing from week to
week or year to year what the pay
roll will be. Business petitioned Con-
gress to hurry up and get the tax bill
through by July /. so that planning
could. be done during the summer
months. Now 1t will be late autumn be-
fore there will be revenue bill.
The administration will have to

The unemployment conference is
generally commended in Washington

body asks an administration official
what is to be done with the facts.
what remedies are proposed. the in
evitable answer is a shrug Of the
shoulders and the expression of
hope that Congress will take heed
