RAILWAYS PROPOSE
new PAY CUT PLAN
Would Extend Present 10 Pei
Cent Reduction For An
other Six Months

Chicago, Dec. l4.-(R-Extension
Of the present 10 per cent wage de-
auctions of railway labor for six
months beyond the Jan. 81 deadline
was proposed to the brotherhoods
Wednesday by w. F. Thiehoff, chair
man of the railway executives, at
their joint wage conference.
The arrangements stipulated that
any further changes In railway wages
should be taken to the railway la
Dor board and should affect the basic
rate Of pay.
Under their proposal, labor and
employers would agree that no notice
would be given of any desire to
change the six-mohth extension un-
til July l, 80 days before its expira-
ton.
Then there would be no further
resort to temporary wage cuts, no
more summoning Of conferences be-
tween arrangements and brother
hoods. Instead, the problem would
be laid before the mediation agencies
provided by the railway labor act.
This was the second plan submit
ted by the railroad executives at the
sessions that started Monday.
Tuesday labor rejected the first
tender, In which the carriers asked
that the Jan. 81 deadline of the cur
rent temporary reduced pay be wiped
out and the rates extended indefi-
nitely.

DROP SHOWN IN PREMIUMS

For the II months OF this year.
the North Dakota workmen's COM
pensation bureau sustained an &C
tual underwriting loss, compensation
payments exceeding the premium re-
ceipts, r. E. Wenzel, chairman of the
bureau, reported Wednesday.
November brought no relief from
the record of the previous 10 months
of 1882, again increasing the losses
piled up, according to Wenzel.
Industrial accidents totaled 5,O25
during the II months of this year,
with premium receipts $3.50, 500, and
compensation payments $459. 900. In
Guiding administration expense and
reserves, the shortage for the II
months of 1882 is about $4,000.
During the first II months of 1881
accidents totaled $500, premium re-
ceipts $545 400, and compensation
payments $496, 900. For the 1l-month
period in 1880, there were $500 acct
dents, receipts totaled 1923, 800, and
compensation payments $4,000.
Should the credit of North Da-
kota bonds not be reestablished, q
thing almost too serious to contem-
plate" Wenzel said, "the value OF
the funds permanent investments
would be so reduced as to make 1t
impossible to continue without un-
payable premium rate increases.
Premium receipts decreased nearly
20 per cent between 1880 and 1882
whereas accidents declined less than
six per cent, so once more we assert
that the preventable accidents must
be prevented.

Paris, Dec. 14.-(P-Premier Edou.
ard Herriot and his cabinet resigned
Wednesday after the chamber OF
deputies postponed the payment Of
less than sc, 000, 900 interest due the
U. S. Thursday.
The chamber decided to defer the
debt payment until an international
debt conference can be held. An
Overwhelming $50 to so vote ap-
proved the action. The premier's plan
for payment with reservations was
defeated shortly before by vote Of
402 to 1877.
Because of this vote, the Herriot
cabinet submitted its resignation.
Many Of his supporters left the
chamber before the second vote was
taken early Wednesday morning. De-
ferment Of the payment was pro-
posed by the chambers foreign al
fairs and finance committees over
the premiers protests.
The action Of the chamber, con-
GLIDING IA hours debate, was inter-
preted in Hobbies as directed against
the attitude of the American govern
ment on the debt issue, rather than
against the radical Socialist party
leader who has been head Of the gov

ties. Throughout the long session,
the burly premier, who pleaded the
debt had to be paid as a matter Of
national honor, was listened to re-
specially but coldly.
The defeat Of his government pre-
cipitated a situation calling into
question the whole system of debts
and war reparations.
Herriot previously announced he
would not attempt to form new
cabinet.

cessors to their chief.
Pierre Renaudel, leader Of the So

376 seats belonging to parties OF the
Left and which led the bolt of Leftist
members on the debt issue, said the
premier's insistence on good rela-

He also introduced a bill to suspend

This likewise would continue legis-

The loan fund would be under the

NOMINATIONS BY
| HOOVER AT END
Senate Closes Door Against
Further Combinations in
First Party Test

Washington, Dec. IA. The
senate closed the door Wednesday
against confirmation of further NOM
nations by President Hoover. It was
done in the first party test of the
session.
A motion by Senator McNary OF
Oregon, assistant Republican leader
to send the senate into executive SeS-
sion for consideration of a batch of
Hoover appointees was defeated A
to 81.
The roll call was on strictly party
lines, only Senators LaFollette and
Blaine of Wisconsin leaving the Re-
publican fold to line up with the
Democrats.
Senator Shipstead, Farmer-Labor
of Minnesota, also voted with the
Democrats.
The effect was to block even the
sending of the nominations to COM
mittees for preliminary considera-
ton.
Immediately after the vote, LaFol-
lette said he enlisted against the mo-
ton because of the announced inten-
ton of the Democrats to block con-
firmation Of any nominations and of
his desire to speed senate considera-
ton of other business.
The nomination of Roy D. Chaplin.
Of Michigan, as secretary Of commerce
was confirmed by the senate after
the Democrats had blocked consider
alton Of other presidential appoint
mentS.

HOUSE COMMITTEE
SHAPES FARM BILL
FOR SPEEDY ACTION
Domestic Allotment Plan En-.
dorsed, But It Will Be VOL
untary System

Washington, Dec. 14.-(F-Encour
aged by support Of farm leaders
Chairman Jones and members of his
house agriculture committee Wednes.
day whipped together bill contain
ing the domestic allotment farm relief
plan for speedy house action.
Meeting in executive session, the
committee heard the views of the
heads of national agricultural groups
and then prepared to write in any
necessary changes in tentative draft
of the relief measure to insure unified
support.
The farm leaders agreed Tuesday
night on simplifications of the volun-
tary domestic allotment plan, design
ed to bring tariff benefits to produc-
ers of wheat, cotton, tobacco and hogs
The proposed plan is essentially a
temporary relief arrangement provid-
ing for a two-year operation pending
enactment of comprehensive pro-
gram after the Inauguration of Presi-
dent-Elect Roosevelt.
Democratic leaders are hopeful this
agricultural aid measure can be taken
up in the house soon after the Ques-
ton of legalizing beer is disposed of,
and that it will receive the approval
of President Hoover so as to avoid a
special session of congress.
Some leaders threatened to with
draw their support Tuesday when sug-
geStionS were advanced for making
the allotment plan compulsory, but in
an executive session Tuesday night
agreement was reached on proposal
making its operation entirely volun-
tary.
Under the plan producers would re-
ceive in addition to the market price
treasury certificates ap-
proximating the amount of the tariff
40 cents a buStel on wheat, five
cents a pound on cotton, cents a
pound on tobacco and 2 cents a pound
on hogs.
A unanimous agreement on funda-
mental principles closely approximate
ing the bill prepared by Chairman
Jones was submitted to the house ag-
riculture committee Wednesday by
spokesman for national farm and
commodity organizations.
The agreement was outlined by
Frederick T.. Lee, attorney for the
farm leaders.
Lee named three major principles
on which the farm groups desire leg
islation to be founded. They were:
That the legislation in question
should be administered by the de-
partment of agriculture.
THAT 1t should cover four basic
commodities, wheat, cotton, tobacco
and hogs.
THAT the legislation should be
framed to the end Of giving agricul-
tural commodities their pre-war par
ity with other commodities, that is,
the same purchasing power as agri-
cultural commodities enjoyed be-
tween 1909 and 1914"

DISAPPEARANCE OF
N. D. Youth PR0BED
six-Year.oId Mystery At Par
shall Reopened Following
Fathers Funeral

Parshall, N. D., Dec. 14.-(F-Ar-
rival Of Ellsworth Landaker of Hart
ford City, Ind, Is awaited here to re-
open an investigation into the mystic
rious disappearance of his brother
Ben, from Parshall six years ago
A theory that the missing youth, 1e
years old at the time he disappeared
had been killed and buried In this
vicinity has furnished impetus for
probing into the case again.
Ellsworth Landaker Is expected
here within the next few days to at
tend the funeral Of his father, who
died few days ago.
In 1927, Ben Landaker disappeared
after reporting to an insurance COM
pany that an automobile truck he
had purchased had been stolen.
The truck subsequently was found
stripped Of its tires. A companion
Of Bens Is said to have later sought
to sell the tires. There was no fur
ther investigation after finding OF
the truck. It was believed that Ben
left to join the navy.
Rumors had been current here
that Ben was killed and buried In q
grave In the vicinity In which he
lived, but since his disappearance
there was no clue uncovered to verify
this.
It was understood here that Ellis
worth Landaker Is bringing with him
some clues that may solve the mys-
terry Of his brothers disappearance.
and his arrival Is awaited before any
action Is taken.

dications were that a large crowd
would be on hand. There will be
nothing of formality about the oc-
casion other than the grand march,
to be led by Governor and Mrs.
George F. Shafer and an attempt
will be made to get everyone ac-
quainted by staging a circle two-step
and by other methods. indications
are, according to members of the
veterans committee in charge, that
the ball will be the liveliest held here
in a long time. They expressed the
hope that attendance will be large,
since every penny will go to buying
shoes and clothing for needy chill
dren.
Lists of needy children have been
received by Miller from all schools
in the city and these will be checked
by Miller and Miss Esther Teichman,
school nurse, after it is known how
much money can be spent for this
purpose.
Response to appeals for bed cloth
ing has been good, Miller said, and
a large quantity of toys have been
received. Those not in shape for use
have been sent to the state peniten-
tiary to be repaired by prisoners
there.
Although the people have been
generous, Miller said, the demand has
been so great that there still is need
for anything anyone wants to give.
He asked again that people who have
not already done so inspect their
cellars, attics or storerooms and send
whatever they can to the headquar-
tiers in the Baker building or call
1901 on the telephone so someone can
call for it.

In Widest Confusion
The crowded chamber was thrown
into widest confusion at 4 O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon as Kemmerer, de-
scribed as an expert marksman, sud-
denly stood up in the gallery, placed
one leg over the railing and waved q
revolver.
Il want the floor for a few min

A page boy cried "look out for the

In his rooms here police found two

600 due from that country. It re-
mains to be seen what action will or
can be taken, If any.
Negotiations between France and
this country for commercial treaty
probably will be suspended automat-
ically with default Thursday, as con-
ditions will not be favorable for their
continuance.
Trade between France and the u.
g. is at low ebb and the U. s. has
1 felt for some time that France has ad-
ministered tariff quotas and regula-
lions in such manner as to discrin-
mate against American exporters.
The U. S. might impose retaliatory
tariffs against France as q protest,
but in official circles no such step Is
I foreseen in the immediate future.
Inasmuch as this government spoke
plainly in its replies to every foreign
request for a moratorium extension,
indications were the white house and
the state department would keep ST.
lent until after Thursday-the date
when nearly $4,000 900 Is due from
Z the debtors.
N Special Message Probable
Should France, Belgium and other
nations default, President Hoover
I then probably will make those facts
known officially to congress in spe-
cial message and at the same time he
may propose new study Of the debt
question as he has indicated.
Congress alone can alter existing
agreements, and with one day re-
naming 1t was plain nothing would
be done until Dec. Is has come and
gone.
Expressions Of indignation first
rose in Democratic quarters, Sena-
tor Mcclellan Of Tennessee saying It
was clear that Germany is not the
only European nation that treats its
obligations as scraps Of paper"
II think 1t Is the most ungrateful
act In the career Of any nation in
the world" he added to newspaper
men.
While President Hoover kept in
close touch with the situation, there
was no indication Of further action to
come from him or the state depart
ment. Officials pondered the conse-
quences likely to flow from the Paris
refusal to meet its debt payment.
One congressional view given to re-
porters. by Chairman McReynolds OF
the house foreign affairs committee,
was that France has less excuse nos
to pay than any other nation.

only IS per cent Of what she received
