THIRTY HOUR WEEK
 PROPOSAL DEBATED
United Textile Workers Fail to Agree On Issue

New York, Sept. IL R-Etforts to have the United Textile Workers of America approve in principle a 30-hour work week as means of ending unemployment in the indus try today resulted in a lively de- bate among the delegates to the national convention. The resolution was offered by Local No. 25 of Philadelphia, and the committee on legislation, to Which it was referred. reported it to the full convention adversely. After an hours debate had shown strong support for the proposal among delegates the resolution was taken from the hands of the legis- lation committee and referred to the committee on resolutions, with the prospect that it would be adopt ed later in the day.
 Approves Short Week
 Before this matter was brought up the convention approved the establishment of an eight-hour day and five-day week and abolition of night work for women and chill dren in the textile industry and ap- proved state old-age pension laws and provision of unemployment in- surance under state or government supervision. Support was also voted to the shipstead Anti-Injunction bill pending in congress. Other res olutions favored the extension of Workmen's Compensation laws and put the union on record as oppos- ing yellow dog contracts.
 Josephine Barron. chairman Of the committee on legislation, in ad- vising against approval of the 3o- hour week program. said that the committee was in sympathy with the proposal, but felt that the re- duction of working hours to forty per week would be the most that could be hoped for at present.
 Urges Drastic Cut
 Speaking for the resolution, Mi chael McHugh, of Local No. 25, said that such a drastic reduction in working hours is the only cure for unemployment, which he and other speakers blamed on the wide use of labor saving machines. In the upholstery, weaving and knitting

sippi Project Discussed
at Convention.
BY the Associated Press.


ST. LOUIS. November 24.-The
speedy completion of the Mississippi
Valley waterway system was urged as a
measure tending to relief of agricul-
ture and unemployment in the Middle
West by speakers on the opening pro-
gram of the annual convention of the
Mississippi Valley Association here to-
day.
w. R. Dawes, Chicago, president of
the association, the first speaker pro-
grammed for today, believes public
money for perfecting the inland water
way systems of the country will be
spent advantageously by the Govern
ment, at this time, and will result In
employment of large amount OF labor
now unemployed.
The expenditure of considerable
sums next year in river development,
he said. will not only relieve a critical
unemployment condition, but will ad-
vance the progress of inland waterway
development so that future annual APP
preparations will bring about an early
completion of the river channels and
consequent earlier relief to agriculture
and industry in the Middle West"
Completion Held Imperative.
Representative w. i. 1NOloll Va IhAA1AC
apolis,, who will speak tomorrow, said
that If the Government is in earnest,
then it is imperative that the water
ways job be completed at the earliest
possible date, so as to realize returns
on the investment"
c. C. Weber. Minneapolis, president
of the Upper Mississippi Barge Line Co.,
in an address programmed for today
pointed cut that the time to build
waterways is at the present when cap
ital labor and material are at the low
est scale in recent years"
Aims Are Outlined.
The aims of the Army Corps of En-
gineers in waterway building in the
valley are outlined by Maj. Gen. Lyle
Brown, chief of Army Engineers, an
other speaker on the program, as fol-
lows:
81. To drive the Illinois waterway
to completion with all speed.
20. To prosecute with vigor the i'm
provement of the Missouri from its
