prove 1t.

No Help for JobIess

Let me discuss briefly the five
points on our agenda:
Along with an utter lack Of pro-
gram for handling our unprece-
dented unemployment and for put
ting business on a basis where 1t
might guard better against periodic
SlumpS, we have had from the adj
ministration one misleading state
ment after another-Statements
from the President himself which
were contradicted by the very ex-
perts whom he had called into con-
sultation regarding unemployment,
The President. in his message to
congress, presented an estimate Of
100000 unemployed. That, con-
trasted with the estimate of Colonel
Arthur Woods, head Of his unem-
ployment committee, Of between
100000 and 100000.
Woods statement also was shown
to be an underestimate in q review
of conditions in 303 cities, made by
Senator La Toilette and Senator
Walsh Of Massachusetts,.

Charge that Representative DELPHI

cratic floor leader In the house, had
been offered a bride by a certain
group Of tile manufacturers to In
troduce a bill supposed to codify
the Indiana drainage laws was
made from the floor Of the senate

The bill, which was introduced In

The bride offer charge was made
by Senator Earl Rowley (Rep.,

the bill to its defeat. Chief advo-
cate for passage in the senate was
Senator Lee J. Hartzell (Rep., Allen

Later Rowley told newspaper

was $4,000.
