SENATE WILL
RENEW NEEDY
RELIEF DRIVE
Lawmakers Are Alarmed by
Unemployment Conditions
Through Nation.
BIZ United Pros.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, April 21.-The
senate commerce committee today
authorized a favorable report on the
Wagner unemployment system bill
which would abolish the present
employment service in the Depart
ment Of labor and set up a national
system to obtain work for the I'M
employed.
A total of sl7,50o 900 would be
appropriated for the program ex-
tending over period ending June
80, 1897.
Alarming reports of unemploy-
ment relief conditions so aroused
interested senators today that the
United Press was authorized to say
without qualification that the drive
for direct federal aid would be re-
newed at once.
Funds Are Vanishing
An official survey of relief condi-
tons in industrial areas placed be-
fore senator's described generally
depleted funds and disappearing
sources of additional revenue.
Birmingham, Ala, is cited as the
most critical spot in The United
States with relief said TO be so in
adequate that the situation is dis
quoting, if not actually dangerous.
On the basis Of new estimates of
conditions poll of senators pre-
viously opposed to direct federal re-
lief is said on good authority to
have shown shift of almost twenty
votes.
Advocates of relief now believe
that a majority of the senate ia
vors federal appropriations to aid
the hungry and destitute.
Majority for Relief
The prediction was made by
senator interested in obtaining an
appropriation that the senate would
approve relief bill before adjourn
ment in June.
The CostiganTLa Toilette bill for
direct federal relief through allo-
cations to the states was defeated
Feb. Is by vote of 4S to IS. Thir-
teen senators did not vote.
II the recent shift in sentiment
proves as general as it is said to
be a direct relief appropriation
would now appear to have a ma
Jorlty OF four or five senate votes.

tell you how he grew up as the
son of a Pittsburgh blacksmith,
finished his education in high
school, played baseball with semi
pro teams and came in 1911 to
Oklahoma, 80 years old and prac-
tically broke.
The great Blackwell oil field, one
of the richest, was then opening
up. Wentz believed in it and be-
gan buying oil leases from nearby
farmers.
He worked in the oil fields to get
money, often slept at night on a
derrick without removing his
clothes. tramped on foot from
farm to farm. and put up every
dollar he could earn and borrow.
In those early days, one could
buy oil leases for 2k cents an acre

OF course Sims knows his theatsr

His method Of approach this season

Miss Bailey fits into the picture with
splendid taste.
Their act Is one Of melody and
refinement and they never sink
down TO cheap or offensive Jokes.
Years ago when it was a novelty,
Mike Ames put on girls clothes in a
university show. Since he left
school, he took 1t up as a profession.
Today female impersonation is not'
a novelty. Ames has TO Joke" the
idea to get by. That rule allows
very little opportunity to put art"
into the work. He has the looks

voice.

LABOR TO PROPOSE
NEW RAIL PAY PLAN
Unions Are Believed Ready to
ACcede to Demands for 10
Per Cent Cut.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January 3O-A program
which David B. Robertson, chairman of
the labor delegation, said he was conf
dent will be acceptable to the rail ex-
ecutives, was drawn up tonight by
members of the rail labor unions meet
ing here with representatives Of the
Nations carriers to negotiate wage ad-
justmentS.
Although details of the program were
not disclosed by Mr.. Robertson, the ex-
ecutives previously have refused to
compromise on their demand for 10
per cent cut in wages for one year, and
it was generally believed union repre-
sentatives had decided to accede, with
possibly few minor reservations.
One Of the principal union reserva-
tions that had previously contributed to
deadlock the conferences demand
that the roads agree not to attempt
further pay cuts at the expiration Of
the projected contract-Was abandoned
by the unions.

will accept the program which was
unanimously approved by union rep
resentatives tonight" Mr.. Robertson
said.
Railroads Adhere to Demand.
The program will be presented at a
Joint meeting of the two groups called
for | am tomorrow.
When told of Mr. RobertSon's belief
that the program would be acceptable
TO the carriers, c. E Denny, president
of the Erie Railroad. said:
In that event the program must
provide for acceptance Of the 10 per
cent cut The carriers are not dis
posed to compromise on that point.
The unions have been apprised of
this, and if Mr. Robertson is confident
of carrier concurrence, the unions no
doubt plan acceptance of the cut"
The proposal to which the railroads
have adhered throughout the negotia-
tions provided in part:
Ten per cent to be deducted from
each pay check for period of one
year
Basic rates to remain as at present
Arrangement to terminate auto
matically y months after the plan
becomes effective"
On the basis of such a cut, the de-
duction would mean savings of $2l5,-
900 900 to the carriers.
In return for such a payroll reduc-
ton the carriers offered:
To negotiate on individual lines for
the purpose of Stabilizing employment
as conditions may justify.
To recommend to the roads controll-
ing motor transportation companies and
