Congress to Be Kept Here
Until Action Taken.
Veto Is Ready.
PRESENT MEASURE GETS
APPROVAL OF CONFEREES
Report Will Be Taken Up by House
TomOrrow-New Appeal Due
From White House.

Senator Watson, the Republican lead
er, said today that President Hoover
would veto the s2,100, 900 900 unemploy-
ment relief bill and insist that Con-
greSs stay in session until a new meas
ure has been passed.
The Republican leader In a statement
Of the floor said this virtually ended
any chance for an adjournment of Con-
sress this week.
=, me compromise unemployment re-
lief bill was finally approved TO-DAY bv
House and Senate conferees.
Representative Rainey OF Illinois. thu
Democratic leader of the Conference
committee, said the report would be
taken up tomorrow by the House.
Hoover Sends Message.
Meanwhile Mr.. Hoover sent a mes
sage to Congress urging an appropria-
tion OF $4,000 to continue the work
during the next fiscal year of the Pres
ident's Organization on Unemployment
Relief. This was omitted from the Sec
ond deficiency bill recently passed.
In this message. the President stated
1t is obviously of the utmost Importance
any way diminish the work being done
throughout the country in the interests
Of unemployment, and that to demob-
olize this organization might easily
create widespread confusion and bring
great hardships.
Mr.. Hoover pointed out that the or
ganization is made up primarily of vol
unteers serving without pay or expense
and that 1t Is non-partisan in nature.
To function successfully, the President
said, it must have funds to employ a
relatively small number Of trained per.
sonnel, together with trained office help.
Moreover, the appropriation requested
for the continuation Of this activity, is,
in the opinion of the President, infini-
tesimal compared to large resources
which are put at the command of those
IN distress, and added also, it relieves
burdens upon municipalities, States and
the Federal Government.
Draft Same As Saturday.
The conferees approved the fnaI
draft OF the compromise agreement In
the same form In which 1t was tenta-
lively agreed to last Saturday, carrying
0,000, 900 for direct relief loans TO
States, 1922, ,0O0, 900 for public construc-
tion and 81, 900, ,00o,00 for loans through
the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton, both public and private.
All the confereeS signed the bill ex-
cept Representative Treadway, Repub-
lican, Of Massachusetts, strong ad-
mmistration supporter. His refusal to
sign added strength to the reports that
President Hoover would veto the mess
ure.
A copy Of the compromise measure
was sent by the conferees to the White
House today for Mr. Hoover's study.
Sponsors of the legislation continued to
maintain confidence that he would sign
the measure.
The text Of the compromise bill was
withheld until presented in the House.
