 Conference Next Step
 The house voted a rate of 2.40 rents q pound on sugar and the difference between the senate's de- maud for no increase and this ad- vance must be threshed out in con- ference between the two chambers. The western independent repub- llcans who combined with the democrats to knock out of the re- publican bill all rate increases eA- cept those on agricultural products, split on the sugar duty. Senators Borah, Idaho. and Norris, Nebraska, leaders of this bloc were among those voting against an increased rate.
 However, Senators Nye. and Frazier, of North Dakota. and Howell, Nebraska. voted against Harrison's proposal to retain the existing sugar rate.
 senate Galleries Filled
 Senator Howell immediately sought to offer an amendment, ex- tending to sugar producers in this country a bounty.
 Senate galleries were filled for the roll call. The sugar tariff has been q sore point throughout the year Of tariff discussion and this week the senate lobby committee reported expenditures of more than S40oQ00 by those interested in the sugar contest.

CITY HALL FAVORS GIVING SCHOOL JOB
 ID LOCAL BUILDER
Officials Reported Would Award It to Hayes Co.,, Second
 Lowest Bidder
HALL0RAN AND DOWNES
 DENY CHANGE IN PLAN

NJ. 4. Connor of Hartford Submits
 Lowest Estimate for Franklin
 School Addition at Meeting of
 Accommodations Committcc-Fi-
 nance Board and Common Coun-
 ciI Must Pass on Contract.
 Discussion in city hall today gave positive indication that an effort will be made to prevail upon the school committee to discard the lowest bid for construction of an eight-room addition to the Benja- min Franklin school, and award the contract to the next to the lowest proposal, this to insure performance of the work by d local contractor and by local labor.
 COnnor's Bid Lowest
 M A. COnnOr Of Hartford, pre- scented the lowest bid, proposing to do the general contract for $4S,909. The bid next to his was by the Hayes Construction Co.,. submitting d figure about $2,uO0 higher
 Several influential city officials have interested themselves in the matter, and hope to convince the school board of the wisdom of rec ommcnding the Hayes Construction Co. to the board of finance and tax atiOn and the common council, both of which must pass on the plans and contracts before work can be started,
 1t has been pointed out that many municipalities, notably the one from which the low bidder comes, zeal ously protect their local contractors by giving them contracts for public buildings when they are higher than contractors from other cities.
 Work For Home Labor
 or more importance than this policy, according to officials inter viewed today, is the fact that this city has an unemployment problem that can be alleyiatcd to a degree If the employment of local tradcsmcn and laborcrs is insured. In the case of the Hayes company, it is pointed out that a request is already on file in the municipal employment bureau, asking that 20 laborcrs be detailed to the Walnut Hill park momGrial plaza job when formal Nt1t t,.I, t.ir T commission, the force 70 be main- tain"d on the shifting arrangement employed in municipal undertak- ings.
 Officials of the Hayes company had announced that the samc labo. policy would be put in force in the event the school committee voted to award them the contract.
 Bids Being studied
 Bids on the plumbing. heating. ana ventilation of the addition to the BcnJamin Franklin school are still the subject of study by school Building Supervisor John F. Downes. The electric contract may go to the Billings Electric co. of tIllS tllS dL U U.oU.
 Bids were opened at a meeting of the school accommodation com mlttee late yesterday afternoon and when 1t Was found that some of the contractors bidding on the plumb- ing, heating and ventilating had en- tered several combination bids the members of the committee left these bids with Mr. DoWncs to study and decided not to award any of he contracts,
 Mr. DoWnes said today that the bids will be within the appropriation Of $60,O00. It was his opinion that there was unusual close competition for all the contracts. The first and

 Morris Ellcr told police he had no idea why the bomb was thrown.
