CHANGES DRAFTED
FOR UTILITIES ACT
Commission for Moderniza-
ton Plans Four-Point
Legislation. "

Modernization of the local public
utilities act, to bring it up to the
standards of the acts OF more advanced
States, Is the object Of the four-point
legislation program now being drafted
for the District Public Utilities Com
mission, Riley =. Elgen. vice chairman,
said yesterday.
Two additional objectives OF this pro-
grain were announced Thursday. One
| would place on the utility companies
the cost Of litigation over commission
orders. The other would place clearly
! with the commission power OF approval
or disapproval Of large extenSions or
contractions Of service plants Of the
utility companies. r
Disagreement at Present.
It has developed there s at pres
ent some disagreement over the word
ting Of the latter objective. Corporation
Counsel w. w. Bride, general counsel
to the utilities commission, said he
| would send the draft Of this amend
ment back to william A. Roberts, spe-
cial assistant corporation counsel, for
redrafting. He believes the present
/ statement goes too far and would set
up the utilities commission as q super
board of directors" over those OF the
utility companies.
commissions having the most effective
| utilities laws are given clear authority
! to pass upon major extensions or
changes in the plants Of utilities under
| their control.
In the past the local commission has
passed on all such utility expenditures.
| but only over the protest OF the COM
| panies, Mr.. Elgen said. He believes
Congress should prevent direct issue
over these important matters, which
are of vital consideration to the public.
1 by making IA undisputed grant OF power
to the commission.
The other new point Of the program
would require that utility company,
| protesting . commission order. to pay
| the full cost Of court case. Inc
| companies now are assessed for the
| cost Of compiling data for hearings
on utility problems, including valuation
and rate cases.
Would Limit Court Contests.
The two other legislative objectives
of the commission, previously an
nounced. would limit court contests
over Utility Commission orders to a
review Of the law where factual md
| inRs of the commission are supported
by substantial evidence, and would
clearly state that the commission has
control over depreciation accounting
of the intrastate, or local. business Of
all utilities operating here. The COM
mission claims the present utility law
gives 1t control over depreciation, but
the companies have protested that the
Interstate Commerce Commission has
| final authority.
The commission hopes to present the
four amendments to the District uttli-
ties act to Congress in the next few
, days, so that it may start study OF
| the matters at the special session. even
though it may not complete legislation
| consideration at this time.

A. T. OF |. REPORTS /:
GAIN IN J0BLESS
Green BIames Rise During
1888 Largely on Bank
ing Crisis"

Signs Of an upturn in business
throughout the country failed to show
up on the unemployment chart OF the
American Federation Of Labor, which
President William Green made public
today. -
The labor official asserted trade union
reports for the first four months Of
1888 show worse unemployment con-
dition now than ut the first Of the
year. In April, he said, there were
approximately 13,300 900 jobless, and he
attributed the rise in the jobless ranks
largely to the bank crisis"
Green's report follows closely behind
statement issued by the Commerce
Department that while monetary con-
siderations have been dominant in the
general domestic economic situation,
some industries have made real progress
toward recovery. :
The Government agency. however,
emphasized its statement recording Q
business upswing had been based on no
current employment figures. The state
ment further asserted that substantial
improvement would have to be made be-
fore the job charts would show an up
turn.
Up to Government, Says Green.
In citing the upward trend Of unem-
ployment this year, Green asserted 1t
was clearly the task of the Federal
Government" to get the unemployed
millions back to work"
ITO use the Federal credit to start
work creating wealth in relation Is
the safe way to build back to normal,
avoiding the dangers of imitation" he
said.
Green said the federation estimated
400, 900 industrial workers lost their jobs
in March. The Federal Bureau Of
Labor Statistics agreed with this asser-
ton, reporting decrease in employ
ment OF is per cent and 81 per cent In
comparison with the same month last
year.
Figures Presented.
Normally" Green said, from 2 to 3
per cent of the membership of the fed
Grafton previously unemployedD should
find work from January to April, but
this year our records show more out Of
work in April than in the first Of the
year."
He estimated total unemployment In
February at 1895, 900, and in March
at 13,360,0 900.
"Thus unemployment increased by
over soc, 900 from January to March Of
this year." Green said, while even
under the depressed condition of last
year the increase for the same period
was only 173,000. Normally, about 300,-
600 workers should be re-employed
from January to March
Both union figures and Government
records tell the same story, that the
bank crisis has meant a higher level
Of unemployment and there Is no evi-
dence yet to show that this loss has
been regained"

TOLD NOT TO SH|RK
OWN AID BURDENS
States and Cities Are Warned
After Roosevelt Signs
Relief Measure.

The Federal Government yesterday
made $500, 900 900 available to States
for unemployment relief. but President
Roosevelt wants no let-down In local
efforts to care for the needy.
In signing the Wagner-Lewis bill,
which provides $l35,000 for immediate
relief work In the District, the Presi-
dent said the measure appropriating d.
rect Federal aid for the first time. docs
not absolve States and local communi-
ties of their responsibility to see that
the necessities Of life are assured their
citizens who are in destitute circum-
stances"
This notice on the part Of the Presi-
dent was contained In statement made
public at the White House Immediately
after he signed the bill shortly after S
pm yesterday.
The bill stipulates that the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation Is au-
thorized and directed to act as fiscal
agent.
Hopkins Talked for Post.
Harry Hopkins, New York State di-
rector of relief, has been mentioned as
the Presidents choice for the post of
special administrator, who viii distrib-
ute the $500, ,000, 900 fund-$250 600 900
on the basis of 81 for every 50 spent
locally until October /. and $3.50. .000,-
600 In outright gifts after that. The
administrator will receive $4,000
salary.
ment follows:
II want to make 1t very clear to
citizens of every community that the
bill I have just signed authorizing an
appropriation Of $500 ,0O0. 900 Of Federal
funds for unemployment relief does not
ahsolve States and local communities
of their responsibility to see that the
necessities Of life are assured their
citizens who are In destitute circum-
stances
The bill in effect is q challenge to
Governors, Legislatures and local ON
cials to stimulate their own efforts to
provide for their own citizens in need.
For these and other good reasons
citizens who are able should voluntarily
contribute to the pressing needs Of well
fare services.
Cites Obligations.
"The giving Of LIES necessities by
the Government, in ratio to contribu-
tions made by States and local COM
munities, should lead to the giving Of
generous contributions to community
hests and welfare organizations
throughout the country.
"The principle which have on many
occasions explained IS that the first
obligation Is on the locality, II 1t Is
absolutely clear that the locality has
done its utmost, but that more must
be done, then the State must do its
utmost. Only then can the Federal
Government add its contribution to
those Of the locality and the State"

At the climax of the spurt, Gould of the Moose sank a long one from the middle of the court, tried it again and missed. Whereupon the Moose let their grip slip a bit and the quarter ended 23-20 for the Moose.
 The Tallapoosa came back strong | in the closing frame and rushed the score up to 2829. Gould fouled Gisberg, who converted and the score was tied at 29-29 with a minute to play.

JUNEAU BREMEN DOUGLAS QuINT 'TAAGLE' TONIGHT

The Juneau Fire Department casaba- jugglers will meet the Douglas Fire-eaters in a City League game at Douglas tonight. The game should be tight, and a good number of spectators are ex- pected to be present.
 The local boys are doped to turn in a win, but the Douglas squad looked we'll against the Moose last week, and there should b, enough competition to keep the score in doubt.
 The Juneau team will probably start Hollmann and Garn at for wards, Metzgar at center, and Orme and Blake at guard. The lineup for the Islanders is tenta- lively set for Fox and J. Niemi at forward, Manning at center, and Bonner and T. Niemi at guard.
