Advises Staggering Jobs.
Describing how industry has CO.

more nearly intact than was the case
in 1921, Secretary Lamont said the de-
STABILITY of some system for staggering
employment, 50 that many industrial
workers now unemployed will be Of

during the Winter, could not be too
strongly emphasized.
Secretary Lamont also outlined how
the Federal and State and city gov
ernmentS were pushing ahead public
building programs 80 as to provide en-
ployment and otherwise to stimulate
economic conditions and discussed the
additional huge appropriations for pub
lie buildings and roads which President
Hoover has recommended to Congress.

munity efforts for unemployment relief.
These measures have been success
full to marked degree" said Secretary
Lamont.
He declared that for the flrst time in
our history the Nation had passed
through a depression period without
experiencing serious industrial disputes.
Strikes and lockouts during the past
several months have been so few in
number as to be almost insignificant, he
said. During the first six months of
the year the Department Of Labor re-
corded 313 disputes, most of them Of q
few days duration, affecting 10000
workers, which Secretary Lamont de-
Scr1bed as IAN Insignificant fraction of
the nearly 100000 900 wage and salary
workers in the United States"
Contrasting this situation with the
labor disturbances in the 1921 depres-
sion, Secretary Lamont pointed out that
during the first six months Of that
year approximately q million workers
participated in strikes, this being IL
times as many as in the present year.
During that period Of 1921 also, he
ided, more than 1900 industrial dis
puteS occurred, or more than five times
as many as during the first half Of this
year.
Tribute to Labor.
"This record Of Industrial peace dur
in the trying period through which we
are passing is a fine tribute to the
craftsmanship Of our labor leaders In
preventing industrial strife, and to the
vision Of our industrial leaders in main
tanning wage rates at the high levels
attained in 1928 and 1929.
1t is important to note, he said, that

SENATE MAY AWAIT
HOUSE SHOALSSTEP
Opposes Parliamentary Sug-
geStion of Breaking Con-

BY the Associated Press.

oS bIc hSoOCldJeu FreSbs
Although parliamentary means by
which the Muscle Shoals deadlock might
be broken by Senate action were dis
cussed yesterday by House majority
leaders, opposition to that course quick
ly arose on the Senate side.
The possibility Of the Senate Confer
ence Committee reporting a disagree
ment to the Senate, which would put
the matter OF either sustaining or dis
charging its confereeS to the House, was
discussed. Should such action take
place, House advocates of Government
operation would press for appointment
of new committee.
However, Chairman McNary of the
Senate conferees advocating Govern
ment operation, maintains the House
should act first If no agreement is
reached when the conferees meet Tues
day. He said he wanted the House to
vote on the Norris plan before talking
compromise.
Speaker Longworth, Representative
T1lson Of Connecticut, the majority floor
leader; Representative Reece, Repub-
hcan, Tennessee, and Chairman Smell
OF the House Rules Committee took part
in the conference. Longworth said
should a bill be approved that called
Tor Government operation of both power
and nitrate plants, there existed the
possibility of q veto.
Representative Reece, he said, still
was hopeful of agreement Tuesday, and
as consequence no definite course was
laid. Reece sponsored the administra-
ton bill for private operation as passed
by the House and Is one Of the con-
ferees.
On the other hand. a group headed
by Representative Hill of Alabama, a
Democrat on the House Military Com
mtttee, plans to urge Senate action first

The Chinese have asked that the con-

Chinese Eastern Railway dispute be
postponed one month until February

The nominal reason given for asking
for the poStponement is China's in

set. 1t is believed here. however, that
the real reason is China's hope to have
its position strengthened by February

BL|MP IS WRECKED
AS TREE TEARS BAG
Goodyear Craft Was Flying
Low to Avoid CoId-TWo
Occupants Unhurt.
BY the Associated Press.


CAMPTON, KY, January 11.-Swing-
ing down to avoid the intense cold of
higher attitudes, the Goodyear blimp
Puritan crashed into a tree near here
today and ripped its gas bag to pieces,
but both the occupants escaped unhurt
The blimp. en- route from Akron,
Ohio, to Gadsden, Ala, apparently had
become lost in a heavy fog, and earlier
reports had it narrowly missing high
tension wires at Ashland, KY, before it
turned Southwest again.
The pilot house was not badly dam
aged and w. L. Smith, pilot, and Au-
gust C. O'Neill, navigator, climbed out
after the crash.
Smith, who came here, said they did
not realize they were so near the earth
until they felt the crash and found
themselves on the farm of Curtis Ealy,
about seven miles from here. It was
believed that the motors were only
slightly damaged, as the tree, which
ripped and tore into the bag and de-
fiated 1t, acted as brake to stop the
blimp.
The blimp fell on q hillside about
seven miles from here and o mile from
the Ealy home. Pilot Smith walked
three miles to the highway, caught a
bus and came here for aid in salvaging
what parts he could. The mountain
roads at this season of the year are i'm
passable for automobiles and wagons,
however, and 1t was expected to be
months before the motors could be
brought out. Persons going to the scene
today had to walk or ride mule back
the three miles from the highway
across the hills that dot this part of
Kentucky.
The Puritan left Akron about 10
o'clock last night and was next heard
of when her motors awoke residents of
Ashland Her brilliant lights could be
seen as she swooped low over the city
apparently trying to get her bearings.

engine nearby, used to sift sand. Two
other men had just left the mine. The
spark is believed to have ignited gas.
Rescue crews were summoned from
Sturgis and Madisonville. They were
not expected to reach the scene until

In the meanwhile desperate efforts
to free the men were made by local
residents. who were trying to dig into
the mine with tools available. The two
were believed not to be far from the
surface as the mine is a small one.
