TERMS OF LOANS ARE
DISCUSSED BY HYDE

washington, Oct. 6.-R-The ques-
ton of security for farmers livestock
feed loans was discussed with Secre-
tary Hyde Monday by a delegation OF
northwestern governors.
The callers were Governors Shafer
of North Dakota: Green Of South Da-
kota. and Erickson Of Montana. Their
states are in the group Of eight west
ern states in which government
drought loans recently were reopened
to enable farmers to buy feed for
stock.
The governors sought modification
of the regulation requiring prior
mortgage holders to share their liens
on the livestock with the agriculture
department. They said the regulation
was not applicable in all states and
that it was preventing farmers from
obtaining much-needed loans to carry
their animals through the winter.
Secretary Hyde has opposed any
change on the ground that the gov
ernment would be deprived Of ade-
auate security and that modification
would benefit only the banker and
business man holding prior notes.
The conference was the first OF
several which will be held during the
next two or three days. Each COVER
nor was armed with q mass OF data.
Governor Erickson said he was
hopeful that the secretary would
agree on a change. and that the con-
ference had been encouraging"

Violated Pledge by Cut

Vancouver, B. c., Oct. 6.-(R-Del-
egates to the annual convention OF
the American Federation Of Labor
swung Tuesday into the business OF
planning for the return to industrial
stability with capital accused of hav-
ing broken faith" in lowering wages.
Committees, on the second day Of
the convention, prepared resolutions
and criticisms designed to head the
national body toward its "seven
milestones of prosperity"
William Green, president, speak
ing at a banquet Monday night
charged that employers had violated
pledges they made to President
Hoover and organized labor OF the
nation at a Washington conference
to maintain the wage standard OF
the United States.
Labor, he said, asked to guard
against strikes and avoid the 'un-
rest always fomented before in times
of depression" has never violated its
pledges"
"The record has been made,
Green added. "Those men, employ
erS who solemnly promised the prest-
dent of the United States to main

promise. They violated their pledee
not to reduce wages.
There sat at that conference rep

before last, the United States Stee
corporation made q 10 per cent re-
duction In wages.
II leave it to you to decide WHIT

Green, in opening the convention
said labor might well add the righ
to work. to the bill Of rights.
THE great army Of the unemploy.

to the existing social order. No urge

The executive council report, com
prising a record Of the Achievements
of the past year and a summary o.
means tending to relieve unemploy'
ment and depression, was divided
among committees for study, com
ment and action.
Here are the seven schemes ad'
vocated:
