FEDERAL HOME LOAN
BILL TO BE PUSHED
Campaign for Construction Meas
ure Is Planned by Contractors
of America.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,

Associated Press Business Writer
A campaign for enactment of legis-
lation to aid construction will be made
at the board meeting of the Associated
General Contractors of America here
the first week in May.
Foremost among the legislative meas
ures to be pressed are the Federal home
loan discount bank bill; the Metcalf
bill for the extension of prevailing wage
legislation To all classes of public con-
struction, with a provision that the
wage shall be predetermined; the Coch-
ran bill for the creation of an admins
tration of public works; the Blaine
Christopherson bill for uniform re-
quirements in all Government con-
tracts; the emergency Federal aid high
way bill for the relief of unemploy-
ment, and the bill requiring the en-
ployment Of local architects ON Govern
ment work.
The board also Is expected to indorse
formally the retroactive repeal of the
recapture clause of the transportation
act OF 1920, which its Railroad Contact
Committee believes Is seriously hamper
ing the development of the railroad
facilities of the country.
One OF the major questions to be dis
cussed by the board is whether the
banks of the country are loosening up
funds required by contractors and other
business interests and, If not, what
action can be taken to break the credit
jam which the various reconstruction
measures taken were designed to loosen.
The association, it was said, has re-
ceived reports from various sources
which indicate that banks are appre-
ciative Of the new liquidity which these
Federal measures have afforded, but as
yet are not making credit available for
commercial and industrial uses to the
same degree that they themselves enjoy
its availability.
The meeting also will mark the
formal induction into the presidency of
the Contractors Association of Henry
j. Kaiser of the Hoover Dam builders.

BONDS ARE HEAVY
IN SMALL MARKET
New Treasury Note Issue Re-
suits in Decline of
u. S. List.
BY r. III. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
VIEW YORK, April 25-Bonds were
heavy today in inactive trading. with
losses generally small in the corpora
ton list and ranging from one-eighth TO
one-quarter point in United States Gov
ernment long-term obligations.
The market opened lower Announce
ment of issues of $3.50, ,000, 900 Treasury
notes and bills in one and two year de-
scriptions carrying rates of and per
cent, respectively, was constructively
viewed, although temporarily it had .
depressing effect on long term LibrTtles
and Treasures. Wall Street did 1JS be-
lieve the high rates warranted ~ pres
ent quotations for Governmena bonds,
though it was generally conceAed that
the effect of the large oversufEcripton
that Secretary Mills was obviously play
ing for would more than offset the
slightly increased cost to the Govern
ment. This was borne out by the firm
quotations for outstanding notes and
bills.
Short-term municipals were also firm.
The intimation that New York State
would shortly ask application for short
term bonds amounting to $75.00O,OO0
was followed by heavy subscription ap--
plications for the notes as 2$ls dated
May 2, 1892, and 1888. Existing notes
of the State are quoted around a per
cent yield basis and it is not believed
the State will have any difficulty In
placing the full s75,000,000 at 2a4 per
cent, which is full per cent less than
the cost of the financing accomplished
on March 81.
The high-grade corporation list was
steady. with q few seasoned investment
bonds like American Telephone IS, New
York Telephone 4k2s and Duquesne
Light 4las selling below Saturdays
closing prices. Most high-grade rail Is
sues were firm.
In the semi-speculative rails and in
dustrials losses were more numerous.
Missouri Kansas-Texas A IS were on q
point. Fractional declines marked
Texas Corporation IS. Youngstown
Sheet g. Tube IS and other industrial
and junior utility bonds.
German government issues steadied
after an initial break caused by the
sweeping Hitlerite gains in the Prussian
elections, Young plan 51ss opened down
about points, then retraced most Of
the ground. Fears that the Prussian
results will have an unfavorable re-
action in the French elections prevented
= the London and Paris markets from
showing any buoyancy. European dollar
bonds here were lifeless. Initial gains
in the French government group were
lost and even Great Britain 5 las were
off fractionally.
South American bonds were not much
changed. Japanese issues were steady.
Australians were about point lower.
