asked industry and business to keep
wages up. He's right and he knows
what he is talking about. Wages are
100 dow everywhere. This country ex-
lists on the pay envelope. There is
where We must begin"
Farms Must Be Helped
Rcverting to his belief that guam
tlty production from the soil is essen
tan, Mr.. Ford said;
"Of course, the steady desertion Of
the farm cannot continue forever.
Too many people have believed that
Santa Claus lives in the city. They
we're raising a million dollars to adj
Vertise Detroit and bring more peo-
pie here. I told them the money
would be better spent 10 educate
people how to get away from the
city. Halt the people out OF work in
Detroit have farms they could
work"
Asked whether quantity produc-
ton from the soil would not mean
| over-production and waste, Mr.. Ford
said:
What We call waste is only sur
plus and surplus is always the start
ing point Of new uses. We used TO
! think corn was nothing but food I'M
We use more corn industrially than
we ever did for food. Everything that
/ is produced from the soil can be used
| for some purpose. Chemistry alone is
crying for it and industry not only
| can find q use for but has need for
/ everything the soil produces that is
not converted into foodstuffs."
Too Much Comparison
There is too much talk Mr., Ford
said, Of conditions as they we're a
| year ago, compared with today. The
past is absolutely gone" he said.
The whole world wants to get to
work and not just re-establish condi-
tons Of a year ago. We don't want
the old system back. We want bet
ter one.
Mr.. Ford does not believe the
| machine age" threatens the wage
earner's future. Asked what will
become Of the worker if industry
continues to develop single ma
chimes to do the work of many
men. he said:
The machines have TO be built
and it takes men to build them.
Our own experience is a very good
example OF how that works out,
In hrF
car, We were reported to be shut
down We had 10000 men at work
during that shut down They were

Bonner Charges
Fail When Probe
Doesn't Back Them
SecretaryWilbur Declares
Investigation Finds Ac-
cusatiOnsWi Basis.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated freSS.
Secretary Wilbur announced yesterday
that charges made against F. E. Bon
ner, secretary of the Federal Power
Commission, and F. w. Griffith, chief
clerk, by Mrs. Minnie L. Ward, file
clerk, were found by the Department
of Justice to be absolutely without
basis
Mrs. Ward, who was suspended for
characterization after throwing eggs at
Grifhth, was dismissed from the serv-
ice yesterday by the power commits
sion. After the alteration with Grit
fifth she had charged him and Bonner
with destroying letters pertaining to the
recommendations by power companies
of Bonner and Paul s. Clapp for the
position of commission secretary.
Secretary Wilbur, who is acting
chairman of the commission, said that
"a most careful examination by the
Bureau of Investigation of the Depart
ment of Justice resulted in absolute
failure to substantiate any of the
charges made by Mrs. Ward"
LAS to the allegations of abuse made
by Mrs. Ward" the secretary said, ut
is evident from the inquiry that these
charges grew out of exaggerations of
motive, petty Office gossip and an i'm
proper perspective regarding her work. -
Mrs. Ward, Wilbur said, failed to
answer satisfactorily the charges which
resulted in her suspension. She adj
mitted, he said, that she did not fol-
low instructions of her superiors when
the superiors are interfering with the
direct supervision of my work."

RETIREMENT BILL
READY FOR SENATE
Conferees Will Present Re.
port Embodying House
Plan and Amendments.

Legislative action on the civil service
retirement bill may be completed to-
morrow If the Senate acts on the con-
ference report. The report already has
won House approval, and its adoption
by the Senate would send the measure
to the President.
Those in charge of the bill are hope
full that the Senate will take up the
conference report as soon as the ses-
sion convenes tomorrow, and 1t Is be-
lieved action will be favorable after the
amended bill has been explained. The
report will be presented by Senator
Dale, Republican, Of Vermont. Other
Senate conferees were Senator Couzens,
Republican, of Michigan, and Mcclellan,
Democrat, of Tennessee.
The conferees' report consists Of the
House retirement bill, with several
amendments. Under this plan there
would be q basic annuity of $50 year
for each year Of service, not to exceed
80 years, making maximum basic
annuity of 5000. To help meet this
annuity, 81 a month would be taken
from the contribution of each employee.
The remainder of the employees con-
tributions would be kept to their credit
and used to buy an additional annuity
upon retirement. Thus the total an
nuity of an employe would bear some
relation to his salary. 1t is provided,
however, that no enploye would get less
under this bill than he would have re-
ceived under the Senate measure.

SEWER COMPLAINTS
ARE BEING STUDIED
District Department Hopes to Re-
duce Amount of Waste Flow
ing into Potomac.

The District Sewer Department is
working on plans for reducing the
amount of sewage flowing into the Po-
tomac from the sewer at G and Twenty
seventh streets. Complaint was recently
made by workers erecting a new seawall
In that vicinity that deposits of sewage
had made their work unpleasant.
Present plans contemplate an increase
HI the height of the walls of the sani-
tary sewer, and installation of an odor
control gate where the sewer will be ex-
tended to meet the new seawall. The
Job will cost about $4,000 and will take
about month.
The department has no hope of
keeping ROCK Greek or the Potomac en-
tirely free from sewage. To do this in
the District alone would take $7,000,000
and about 100 years work, j. B. Cor
don, sanitary engineer, said.

D. c. FEDERAL HELP
CONFERENCE ISSUE
Senate and House Groups
to Hold Appropriation
Bill Farley.

With the question Of what should be
the Federal contribution toward the
maintenance of the National Capital
looming as the chief issue, Senate and
House conferees on the District appro-
priation bill will hold their first session
passed the bill with the Federal share
placed at q lump sum of $4,000, 900.
The Senate, upon the recommendation
of its appropriations committee, raised
the Federal contribution to $4,000, 900,
making the question one OF those to be
settled in conference.
Teacher Question an Issue.
The conferees have number of other
important items to discuss. One Is
whether the amount for going forward
year should be 100000 as in the
House bill, or 81 ,0OO, 900, as fixed by the
Senate. Another problem is how the
additional revenue for the Water De-
partment should be raised. Each
branch of Congress adopted different
schedules of water rates. There Is also
the question of whether the present
number of teachers should be kept in
the kindergartens, or some Of them
transferred to the grade schools, as
provided by the House. The Senate
voted to retain the present kindergarten
teacher force and provided for new
teacher positions In the grade schools.
A letter urging the House to abide by
the Senate action has been sent the
House conferees by Herbert s. Wood,
president Of the District Of Columbia
Public School Association. He suggest
ed the House took action on the basis
Of inaccurate figures.
Salary Increases Okla by Senate.
The Senate also allowed salary In
creases throughout the municipal serv-
ice and made number Of changes In
smaller items.
The conferees are Senators Bingham
of Connecticut, Phipps Of Colorado,
Capper of Kansas, Glass of Virginia
and Kendrick Of Wyoming, Representa-
tives Simmons of Nebraska, Holiday of
Illinois, Thatcher of Kentucky, Cannon
