WAGNER HELD
T NT|TLED
To HONOR
Special Senate Committee
to Study Problem Meets
Tuesday; Hebert in Charge

With some Of it's members al
ready under fire on a charge of
playing politics, the special
Senate committee appointed to
investigate unemployment in
surance systems will meet here
Tuesday to map the scope of it's
inquiry.
Senator Hebert (RO of Rhode
Island, is chairman of the com.
mittee, with Senator Wagner
D) Of New York and Senator
Glenn (R0 Of Illinois, as the
other members.
Democrats Protest
1t Is the selection of the Re.
publican Hebert, as chairman
which has brought down upon
the committee a storm of criti-
ciSm, chiefly from Democrats,
who maintain that under ali
rules of Senatorial courtesy the
Craftsmanship should have gone
to Senator Wagner, who spon.
sOred the resolution creating the
committee.
The Tuesday meeting will be
the first public session which
the committee has held. and
those interested in the political
situation are anxious to see how
Senator Wagner reacts to the
Slight" which he is considered by
many to have suffered.
See Hoover Hand
Blame for the substitution of
Hebert for Wagner as chairman
is traced by many directly to
the White House, it being claimed
that the Administration did not
desire to have Democrat obtain
the credit for whatever the COM
mittee may do.
The committee is expected to
map out a. course of hearings at
which experts on unemployment
insurance will be invited to tes-
tify. Many of these are expected
to be Government officials who
have studied the problem.

HOOVER FACING
REBELLION IN
=. G.O.P.RANKS
"Under Cover" Movement Be-
gins In South; Mann Named
as Power Against President

A substantial movement to block
the denomination of President
Hoover in 1892, is now under way.
Having it's genesis among the
Republicans Of the once "Solid
South" it is spreading rapidly in
various Northern strongholds Of
the G. o. p, hackers say.
The campaign is primarily anti
Hoover and has not fixed upon
former President Coolidge or any
other candidate for the coming
Presidential battle.
Not Yet Out in Open
The movement is not yet out
in the open. Not until next
December will it open headquar-
tiers here. In the meantime, it
is all under cover" work, de-
signed to exploit the tremendous
anti-Hoover" wave which is al
legged to be sweeping the Repub-
lican rank and file.
1t is no secret that Col. Horace
Mann, who organized the south
for Hoover in 1928 and produced
amazing results in the ensuing
presidential contest, is one of
the powers behind the new move
ment.
Colonel Mann today declined to
admit that the new campaign is
directly aimed at the President,
but he said:
"The Republicans Of the
South are determined to have
a solid delegation in the 1892
convention reSOlute in their
purpose and firm in their con-
victiOn that a new order of
politics shall hencefOrth prevail

although we haven't decided

fines are levied.
"Of course, in cases where
the penalty calls for dismissal,
the officer may go before the
regular trial board. In cases
which will be tried before the
district inspectors, the officer,
if found guilty, may appeal to
higher authorities"
The Commissioner also de-
clared that each district inspector

DEATH OF MATHER
ENDS STEEL CAREER
Cleveland Industrialist Was
Pioneer of Shipping in
Lake Region.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, October 2o.-Another
chapter of industrial empire, which
made fascinating history OF the nineties,
has been closed.
It's end was written Sunday with the
death of Samuel Mather, last OF the
pioneering figures Of Great Lakes ship
ping and manufacturing, and one OF the
great. influences in the iron and steel
Industry for half. century.
His life paralleled the development
of the Pittsburgh steel area and the
Mahoning Valley-the Ruhr OF America
and his name became to the Great
Lakes region what Edward Harriman's
became to the East and the railroad
world, and James J. Hills to the
Northwest.
Founder Of Company.
AS a founder Of PickandS. Mather &
Co., he was instrumental in bringing
to fulfillment the joining Of the North
vests rich ore deposits and the Bes-
semerS of the lower lakes regions.
| At the start Of the twentieth century
when American capital reached out into
the early merger period and the founda-
tons Of the vast corporations OF today
were laid, Mather's executive genius and
wide knowledge Of iron and steel was
widely called upon.
When the United States Steel Cor
poration was created In 1901, 1t was
from the beginning endowed with iron
ore SURPRISES and all the organized
machinery Of transportation and con-
veyance necessary.
Yet Mather, with little actual none
tary interest. was elected to its board, q
post he held until his death.
Aided youngstown Development.
The youngstown Sheet & Tube Co
is the outstanding example OF his sue.
cess. When the Pittsburgh steel ares
spread to the Mahoning Valley through
Youngstown to Cleveland, capital wa!
needed TO round out this new area o.
enterprise.
Mather supplied the capital thai
brought about the merger of the Shee'
& Tube Steel, Steel & Tubes and Brie,
Hill intb the Youngstown Sheet g. Tube
Much Of his executive ability went tnt<
its continuance.
He swung his influence in favor o
the Bethlehem Steel Corporation
Youngstown Sheet & Tube Merger
and lived only a few days after merge
negotiations fell through. He had dis
posed of q considerable part of hi
Sheet & Tube holdings shortly be
fore the billion-dollar merger battl'
began.
He served for many years on tn,
board of the New York Central Rail
road Earlier, when the railroad. theI
Vanderbilt-owned, decided that Buffalo

was entering the destinies Of steel,
Mather joined Eastern capital to create
Leckawanna Steel, later to form q major
link Of Bethlehem.
Operated Large Ship Firm.
He operated the Interlake Steamship
Co., the second largest deet Of ore and
coal carriers on the Great Lakes, and
later assisted in developing Interlake
Iron, q merger Of furnaces and cast
metal producers.
Perhaps his fortune, which Is esti-
mated ct more than $100,00O, 900 at
death, does not equal many Of the
fortunes reared upon the stakes of
industrial chance, yet his interests were
the great leavening influences upon q
new century Of industry and gigantic
growth. ~
With Andrew Carnegie, Marcus A.
Hanna and Henry Clay Prick, he was
one Of those who wrought at the MAIN
springs Of the Nations industries.
