COMMITTEE GETS
LASTkENY0N |! BILL
Measure Providing Elastic
Control of Public Works
Is Recommitted.

The Kenyon bill to give the Presi-
dent power to speed up in slack times
and retard in prosperous times con-
Of meeting unemployment conditions,
was recommifted to the Senate COM
mittee on education and labor late
yesterday, after an amendment had
been adopted which Senator Kenyon
said practically destroyed the meas
ure.
The amendment was offered by SEN
ator Harrison, democrat, Mississippi,
and would exempt from the provi-
sions of the bill all river and harbor
DEVELOPMENT, flood control and ex-
penditures on irrigation projects. 1t
was accepted by a vote Of 20 to 26,
with party lines broken.
Senator Kenyon said that the
amendment left only public buildings
and good roads within tho scope Of
had been adopted moved to recommit
the bill to committee, as he said it
was evident the bill had been de-
stroyed and the amendment had been
supported with that view in mind.
His motion to recomTit was accepted
by a viva voce vote.
Last Bill for Kenyon.
Hc Oil Is the ldSC Wnlch senator
Kenyon said he expected to press
for action in the Senate before re-
firing to take up his duties as a
federal circuit judge.
Provisions OF the bill were drafted
from recommendations of the Presi-'
dents conference on unemployment
and were designed to make possible
long-range planning of all public
works. SO that the President could
at any time order cessation or re-
sumption of work on stated projects.
1t would have made it possible for
the government to spread its public
works program over periods when
other lines of effort were inactive,
thus giving employment and providc
ing markets for the output of many
manufacturers.
Bipartisan opposition developed
when the measure was first called
up and grew stronger as the debate
developed. The principal objection
was that the measure gave oppor-
tunity for destroying rather than
stabilizing the country's economic
life.
Support for the bill had come from
many sources throughout the coun-
try, chambers of commerce and other
business groups and associations
having urged its acceptance.
