Jones OBJECTS
TO EARLY RECESS
Republican Whip Declares
Farm Bill and Tariff Dis
@ posaI Vital.

Senator Jones of Washington, Repub-
lican whip of the Senate, voiced strong
opposition at the White House today
to the proposal for an early recess OF
the special session OF Congress, declar-
ing that there is no excuse for recess
ing until the farm bill and the tariff
revision are out OF the way.
The Washington Senator made nc
attempt, however. to reflect afterwarc
the Presidents views on the subject
He did state, however, that if the Pres
ident agrees to prolonged recess with
out the tariff bill being disposed OF In
the meantime he will share in the same
responsibility that Congress will.
Hooyer's Attitude Unknown.

tor Jones said, regarding rumor5 about
the Capitol to the effect that the pres.
emit session shall recess until Septem-
Der and vote on the passage of the
tariff bill sometime in November.
do not know his attitude in regard tc
it, but told him what thought about
it,"
This special session." he continued
"waS called to act on farm relief and
the tariff as connected with 1T. The
people expect us to act on both these
measures. They will not be satisfied II
we drop the program now. Business is
halted and will stay halted until the
tariff is acted upon, and the sooner it
is done the better. The greatest i'm
mediate relief to agriculture will come
through the tariff"
He said the President did his duty
to the country when he issued the call
and that the country will take Con-
gress to task fer inaction. He con-

tends that President Hoover 10 fully
justified in notifying Congress, by mes
gage or otherwise, that he expects the
tariff to be acted upon promptly and
that he will not approve proposed post
poned action on the tariff in order to
provide Summer recess for Congress.
Insisting that there is no excuse for
the Senate not acting within a reason
able time, Senator Jones said: THE
House has passed tariff bill. The bill
deals with Republican act. 1t has
been most carefully considered by a
Republican committee and a Repub-
lican Mouse. Most extensive hearings
have been had-these hearings are
available to the Senate-and there Is
no reason why our committee should
take more than two or three weeks in
reporting this bill to the Senate for
such amendments as It deems neces-
sary. These amendments ought to be
comparatively few"

HOOVER RECEIVES
BOOK OF CLIPPINGS
Miss Mahoney Gathers Newspaper
Articles of Major Events Since
Kansas City Convention.

President Hoover is the recipient OF
a leather bound scrap book Of news

events running from the gathering OF

piled by Miss Catherine Mahoney, en-
ploye of the Treasury Department, re-
siding at the Government Hotels.

Miss Mahoney during the past year
clipped stories recounting events re-
Volving around Herbert Hoover's prog
ress to the White House and pasted
them in chronological order in spe-
cially prepared scrap book, The com

Clippings from Washington papers
comprise the most Of the book. and
prominently included in the work are
stories written by Rex Collier of The
Star staff, who with other correspon-
dents accompanied Hoover on his South
and Latin American tour following his
election.
The book opens with the stories OF
the gathering of the delegates at
Kansas City and ends with the inaug-
ural address by the new President.
Miss Mahoney is no novice in the
work of compiling scrap books. She
states that following the election OF
President Taft she presented him q
similar scrap book and received a letter
from him voicing his appreciation. ,
Miss Mahoney, as may be supposed
is an, ardent Republican in politica
preference, and while she is native
of Newport, KY, part Of the historic
solid South" points out that hei
father, a Civil War veteran, was one
of the first Republicans in Campbell
County, KY.
The scrap book, measuring liz

DANGEROUS CAP
IN INDUSTRY
NOTED
By B. c. FORBES

Our rapidly developing efficiency,
our wholesale installation of Ia.
bor-saving machinery, our ex-
panding utilization of electric
power in industry, our creation of
huge corporations, our colossal
consultations are all fine and
wonderful and desirable-except
for those they throw out Of EN-.
ployment. And the number thus
thrown out Of employment Is not
small.
In my humble opinion, the pro-
found students and prominent au.
thorities on our current economic
evolution and on our dazzling
prosperity do not devote enough
attention to the victims of it nor
seek sufficiently earnestly and
'co-operat lively to face and meet
their plight.
WHY should helpless workers,
not responsible for the actions Of
our capitalists and industrialists
and bankers, be compelled to suf-
fer. along with their families, for
the violent economic changes being
made?
Deserve PFOGbcBlOu
That the trend will continue
away from individualism, away
from small-scale operations Is Ger.
tain. But this merely makes 1t
all the more necessary that hu-
name provision be made for the
helpless men and women cast out
of work.
The cooperation and co-ordina-
ton most urgently needed today
are cooperation and coordination
to take care OF those individuals
and families sacrificed by our in
dustrial and financial cooperation
and coordination.
The Hoover committee on eco
nomic changes In the United
Etates, an outgrowth Of Presi.
dent Harding's conference on un'
employment, in its iust.issued
elaborate report does take cogni-
zance of this serious species Oh
unemployment. It says:
"It has become evident that un-
employment can arise as result
of Industrial efficiency as well as
Of inefficjency. In the latter case
VIC nave SGdSOHdI OA AAIOA Al4bhCb%
unemployment; in the former
case what has come to be known
as Archaeological unemployment
resulting from the introduction
Of new machinery and processes.
Hardships Already Here
1.-THE survey seems to indicate
that the time has come to devote
continuing attention, not only to
the problems Of cyclical unem-
ployment, but also to this newer
problem Of Archaeological unem.
ployment il we are to forestall
hardship and uncertainty in the
lives of the workers"
That expression, IF we are to
forestall hardship and uncertainty
in the lives of the workers" does
not fit the facts. Hardship and
uncertainty have not been fore
stalled" They exist now on a
lamentable scale.
What do President Hoover and
the other responsible and influen.
tial members of the committee
propose to do about it-that is,
beyond simply talking about it?
