Shaw Says Federation Is Due
to Support Principle at
Convention

Classification of field en-
ployes in the Federal service,
long a topic of controversy in
Federal and organized labor cir
cles, will be one of the chief
subjects acted upon by the an
nual convention Of the American
Federation of Labor, beginning to-
day in Cincinnati.
The American Federation Of
Government Employees, repre-
sented at the convention, will
support the following classified
ton program which was recon-
mended by the A. F. Of L. coun-
Gil:
Extending classification to the
field service; that the personnel
classifying agency should have
labor representatives; that it
make an immediate review of
ALLEGATION of field positions; that
an extended survey Of classified
ton be made in. conjunction with
the Government employees fedora
ton. =,
The A. F. of L. opposed the
Lehlbach bill at the Vancouver
convention last year, not because
the bill proposed classification of
Federal field jobs, but because
it's clauses included positions
coming under direct A. F. OF L.

set by laISOr boards, according to

BY afternoon between 200 and

HARRISON HITS
COUZENS' HIGH
TAX PLAN
Appeals to Senate Democrats
To Prevent Excessive
Income LevieS in Bill

A striking plea to Demo
Gratis to reject the CouzenS
proposal for levying 81, 10O,-
100000 tax on incomes was
made in the Senate by Sena-
ator Harrison 3D. of Missis-
sippi.
Limping around the chamber,
due to a leg injury, Harrison told
the Democrats their party had
fought against excessive income
taxes ever since it first enacted an
income tax bill during the Wilson
administration of 1913.
He declared the Couzens plan,
imposing normal rates of 6 and II
per cent, would put tremendous
burden on the little fellow"
His condemnation of the plan
indicated it would be defeated.
Harrison pointed out that the
first income tax bill had a nor
NAL rate Of one per cent and
that the CouzenS rates were ap-
piled only during war time con-
ditions. He said the people could
bear the rates during prosperity
but that now. during an eco
nomic crisis, such heavy levies
would retard business recovery
Harrison chided Senator Cou-
zens (R) of Michigan for spon-
soring the war time rates. He
said Couzens did so Ito relieve
the automobile industry Of
taxes" since the plan if adopted
would repeal the automobile tax.
CouZenS and Harrison debated
the action of the Senate Finance
Committee in changing the in
come rates from 4 and 3 percent
to 3, 6 and 9. Couzens said it
was done at the behest Of Secre'
tary of the Treasury Mills. Har,
rison denied it.
If wartime taxes are adopted.
it will disrupt the whole nonpar
tisan program for balancing the
budget and may project battle
that will keep Congress in session
all summer.

defeat of the plan, and If they are
correct the bill may pass the Sen

ance pending the end of the tax
war.
Foe of Bond Issue
1t was apparent the Democrats
will have to abandon their pres
ent intention of sponsoring huge
bond issue to finance a Federal
construction program or there will
be a finish fight over relief.
The President was known to be
unalterably opposed to a bond is
sue, even to the extent Of vetoing
any bill carrying such an authori-
cation.
He also was disposed to veto any
relief bill for cities, being deter
mined to limit relief loans to the
States.
His own plan called for $780,,
900, 900 loans to States, through

resist efforts to "loan a dollar"
of Federal funds for administra-

eve must maintain Federal
control over relief expenditures
from the Federal Treasury.
BACKS COUZENS IDEA
"And we had just as well
face the fact that the Federal
Government must assume its
full share of responsibility
without further delay. We had
just as well proceed to the
completion Of a Federal un-
employment relief program be-
fore Congress adjOurns."
Borah urged adoption OF the
Couzens amendment re-enacting
the war time income tax rates.
House Drive On
Meanwhile, a bond issue Of
$4,000, 100000 to create jobs be-
came the goal of a bipartisan
House group which has launched
a drive to prevent adjournment
of Congress until action is taken
to relieve the unemployment stu,
alton.
Brushing aside the compromise
proposals of President Hoover
and the bond issue plan of Sen
ator Robinson Cd of Arkansas
as insufficient. the House forces
announced they will conduct
their fight independently.
While the program is still III a
formulative stage. leaders in the
House movement united in de-
claring a huge bond issue must
be the cornerstone of their plan.
For Emergency Measures
Emergency measures also will
be incorporated for relief of the
needy. but it was made ain
the general scheme contemplateS
the creation Of jobs as the most
effective Wav of relieving both
city workers and agriculture.
Representative Swing (R) of
California who is cooperating
with the group declared:
"A bond issue of $4,000, OOO,-
900 is the minimum which
should be made the basis Of
the program"
The tentative plan embraces
building of bridges, to be paid
for by tolls; tunnels and public
buildings to save rent for the
government. and similar projects.
The bipartisan group was en-
couraged by the Endorsement

ployment by Repres entative

Experts To Be Heard
Representative Black CD Of
New York, who recently intro
duced a bill for a $4,000. 000, 900
bond issue based upon searching
investigation by economists and
business men, said he is assured
of a hearing by the Ways and
Means Committee.
He plans to present authorities

Whether the attitude of Colonel
Lindbergh, as revealed in his let
ter to Governor Moore, will deter
Senator Richards from his inten-
ton of asking for a legislative
investigation of the State police
could not be learned.
Fish PeddIer Has Clue
Senator Richards expressed
the view that the Senate should
take notice of the failure of the
State police to find the body.
State police and Newark de-
tectiveS were investigating the
story of Carrot Schenk, a fish
peddler, who told Of having seen
two men in the vicinity of where
the baby was found six hours
before the discovery was made.
He quoted one of the men as
emerging from the thicket and
saying to the other:

He said two cars were parked
in the vicinity

found Schenk was driving from
Hopewell to Mount Rose. Op-

Schwarzkopf announced that
Lindbergh himself was actively Co
operating in the hunt. He also
reported that Harry Fleischer,
Purple gangster of Detroit, and
Able Wagner, New York gangster,
long sought as possible suspects in
the case, were still wanted for
questioning.
