the successful, unprecedented and
epoch-making flight of Capt. Charles

see Capt. Lindbergh. but we feel that
his success has done great deal to
bring to the European nations a real.
ization of American ideals, and it is
our desire to have Europe see a real
example of what American ideals and
principles can do for a man. There.
fore, we do not feel that we should
attempt to hasten his return.
To properly prepare for a celebra.
ton. such as we all want, will require
time and efforts on the part of our
citizenship"
The reception committee is divided
into one executive committee and
eight subcommittee to arrange fol-
the parade, public dinner and other
features.
When Capt. Lindbergh arrives in
London tomorrow he will be greeted

the song today over the radio tele

COMPENSATION BILL.
WARMLY DEBATED
Citizens Federation Hears
Arguments and Names Sub
committee to Act.

The Fitzgerald workmen's compen-
sation bill was defended and attacked
befol e the Law and Legislation Com
mittee of the Federation of Citizens
Associations last night in public
hearing in the District Building, but
decision by the committee was de-
ferred until next Saturday night prior
to the regular meeting of the fedora
ton.
Chairman Charles / Stengle ap-
pointed a subcommittee consisting of
w. H. Richardson. l.. II. Wilson and
David Babp to bring i'm a recommen-
dation to the whole committee at that
time. Th, committee has before it
resolution from the Brightwood Citi-
zens Association indOrsing the Fitz-
gerald bill and asking the federation's
approval.
Woman Defends Bill.
The hearing brought out a few per.
sons, including representatives of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States and the Washington Board of
Trade.
Mrs. Lucy Swanton proved the
only outstanding defender of the
Fitzgerald bill. She charged that
employers were behind the Under
sure before Congress, because it was
cheaper for business, and that labor
was behind the Fitzgerald bill be.
cause the workman knew he could
get more justice out of it. She said
taxes would probably rise higher un-
less some such bill as the F'itZgera Id
bill were enacted to take the burden
off the social agencies of caring for
injured workmen and lay it on the
employers. Objecting to private in
surance companies making a profit
out of workmen's compensa ton insur-
ance, she charged that women would
not stand for it.
Robert J. Cottrell, assistant secretary
of the Board of Trade, formally en-
tered the boards protest against the
Fitzgerald bill, supplementing letter
from E. G.. Graham, president of the
board to the committee, restating a
former stand. Mr.. Cottrell objected
to the Fitzgerald bill as monopolistic
and as putting the Government into
the insurance business, stating that
there was ample evidence to show
the Government could not run such
business as economically as the insur.
ance companies.
Frank &. Page and Arthur Won Tha
den of the Chamber of Commerce OF
the United States presented a lengthy
argument with many statistics to
prove their contention that the Fitz
gerald bill principle of State funds
was not as generally prevalent nor
| workable among the States as other
plans allowing participation by insur
ance companies. The national cham
ber, they said, favored workmen's
| compensation, but was opposed to
monopolistic State funds.
The service rendered to the work
man was said by Mr.. Won Thaden to
be superior when coming from private
companies, or self-insurance, than
from State funds.
John Ihlder, also of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States, pre-
dicted that If the private companies
were permitted to come in, generally
speaking, the State fund would be
beaten out simply because of better
service from private companies.
