TURNS TO RELIEF
Way Cleared for Legislature
Tonight, With Majority
Backing Roosevelt.

by Lne AsSOClAteu TUBE
ALBANY, N. Y, August 3l.-Unem-
ployment relief legislation had the
right. Of way aS the members Of the
New York Legislature returned to the
Capitol today for tonight's opening Of
the second week Of the extraordinary
session.
The leaders planned 10 mark time
until the middle of the week. consider
ing in the interim the program recon-
mended to them by the Democratic
Governor. Franklin D. Roosevelt, call
ing for the expenditure of $20,000,000
in public works TO give employment to
many thousands OF the States unem-
ployed, the money to be raised through
a 50 per cent increase in the personal
income tax. In the meantime the lead
ers of the Republican majority in the
Senate and Assembly were considering
the introduction Of measures of their
own. In general they will support the
Roosevelt proposals, the chief difference
of opinion between the Governor and
the ma jority members having TO do with
the administration OF the relief fund.
The Governor proposed a commission
of three prominent citizens. to be named
by him and to serve without pay, to
administer the fund. Republican legis
lative leaders believe it can be handled
through the existing State welfare or
ganization and city and county well
fare officers. The plan to raise income
taxes meets with their approval.

BUSINESS LEADERS
SEE 1882 UPTURN
Views of Eleven Industrial
Chiefs Agree That ReCov-
cry Is at Hand.
Nv tho Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 29.-Better
business in general for 1882 was pre-
dicted today by II leaders in various
lines.
Their views, publihsed in the January
issue CT Commerce, official publication
Of the Chicago Association of Commerce,
were based on the belief that better
will result from the expe-
riences of the past.
Organizations and individuals who
have grown soft during the easy years
are now trained down to lean, hard
business fighting trim" said c. w. Nash,
president Of the Nash Motor Co. Mis-
takes that were made are providing
them valuable lessons for the future.
Sees Healthy Future.
Experience has decisively proved
that we cannot share or mold or change
the natural economic forces of supply
and demand with artificial expedients
Like medicine, these things are
sometimes hard to take, but the sooner
the dose is swallowed the sooner the
recovery begins. And the last two
years should put our 1uture IN
healthier basis for resuming the for
ward and upward progress of the coun-
try's agricultural, industrial and flnan-
cial condition"
Among the other opinions were the
following:
c. L. Curtis. president Of the Curtis
Companies, Clinton, Iowa: 1882 should
be better year for everybody than
1881"
Milan v. Ayres, analst of the Ma
tional Association of Finance Com
panies: 1T is evident the general mo-
rale is not nearly at so low an ebb as
it was in some former depression
periods
Predicts Slow Recovery.
Harold c. Smith, president of the
Illinois Tool Works: Il do not look for
any material improvement in business
during the early months of 1882, but
think operations will be more satisfac-
tory than the current year"
F. A. Seiberling, president Seiberling
Rubber Co.: Il have recently completed
a tour of the country and have found
more signs of business improvement
than at any other time in the last two
years. Sentiment in the West is good
and in the East is improving"

from all parts of the country.
Classification of Federal employees,

week and standardized annual leave
will be considered.
Serious study will De given to means
of supporting the classification bill re-
introduced in the House by Represent
ative Lelhbach. former chairman of
the House Civil Service Committee
This legislation not only provides for
classification for the field services of
the Government but abolishes the
present average clause in appropria-
ton acts, and eliminates the present
system of efficiency ratings. In place
Of the present efficiency system, a new
three-grade rating would be introduced,
labelling employees as good, fair, or un-
satisfactory" The bill is based on a
report made to the last Congress by
William H. McReynolds, director Of
classification, after long and scientific
study of the problem.
