1T was desirable" Ryan said, that
the Chile and Anaconda stock be
brought together on the market SO
that when the final exchange was
agreed upon Chile would not be so
high that there could be no exchange,
or Anaconda so high that stockholders
would feel their interests would suffer"
In other words" Gray replied, you
were buying and selling in order that
the prices might be maintained so that
the conversion could be made at the
ratio agreed upon"

fixed by engineering data without con-
Sideration to stock market values

MILLS RELIEF BILL
REACHES SENATE
Administration Plan Would
Use Reconstruction Cor
poration Loans.

By the Associated Press
The administration relief bill, spon-
sored by Secretary Mills of the Treas
ury, was introduced in the Senate to-
day by Senator Barbour, Republican,
Of New Jersey.
The bill was similar to the one previ-
ousiy introduced in the House by Rep
resentative Hawley, Republican, Of
Oregon.
Barbour said he presented the meas
ure at the request Of Secretary Mills
on behalf Of the administration. In
many respects the new measure was
similar to the Barbour relief bill intro
duced May %.
The new bill would amend the Re-
construction Finance Corporation act to
provide additional employment through
construction Of economic projects.
Would Provide Jobs.
The corporation would be authorized
to make loans to States, municipalities,
public agencies, such as port authorities,
or to private corporations for the
financing of new construction or the
replacement of Anticipated equipment.
These projects must be designed,
under the bill, to provide immediate
employment for a substantial number
of persons.
The loans would be subject to the
same limitations placed on present
loans of the Reconstruction Corporation
he ID ,Ix, 6va
A resolution for distribution of
100000 more bushels of Farm Board
wheat through the Red Cross to the
needy was introduced by Senator
McNary, Republican of Oregon. Similar
legislation has been presented in the
House.
This would bring to 10000 900 BUSH
els the amount made available.
Senate leaders intend to seek prompt
passage.
Teachers Ask Help.
Meanwhile, an appeal for Federal re-
lief for themselves, other educators and
school systems was presented to the
Senate Manufactures Committee by q
group Of Chicago teachers.
Charles B. Stillman, president Of the
joint conference of teachers and prin-
cipals Of that city, headed the delega-
ton, which urged legislation to permit
Federal loans to cities against the value
of school properties.
Stillman suggested this procedure
where tax collections have been delayed
for year or more, the amount loaned
to be sufficient to give back pay to
teachers and enough to carry them
through the coming year.
Meanwhile, the iron hand of party
rule had been clamped down on indie
pendent-spirited Democrats of the
House, compelling all members Of the
party to vote for the huge Garner re-
lief program.
It will be taken up Tuesday and
probably passed in fairly short order
on the strength Of the Democratic ma
jority, despite Republican plans to fight
1t with everything they've got.
The Democrats were bound to the
bill last night in party caucus by a
majority vote obtained only by tremen-
dous effort. over spirited opposition of
