Told to Oppose Seaway
Pact.

fFrom the $40 Edition of Yesterdays Star)
BY the Associated Press
A charge that the New York Cham
Der of Commerce, which Is opposing
the st. Lawrence waterway is dem
mated by j. P. Morgan and other Wall
Street interests was made in the Sen
ate today by Senator La Toilette, Re-
publican. of Wisconsin.
Joining Senator Vandenberg, Repub-
lican, of Michigan, in demanding rat
if1cation of the St. Lawrence treaty at
this session. he cited testimony in the
Senate's Morgan investigation that
three vice presidents and Al members
of the chamber had received stock at
bar7e'n prices from the Morgan firm.
t. hree vice presidents, P A S.
Franklin. Arthur Curtiss James and
Frederick H Ecker. received 1000
shares each of Allegheny Corporation
stock at $40 when it. was selling for
S35. La Toilette said, and;
This meant a gr2tuitv of $4,000
each to these vice presidents of the
Chamber of Commerce of the State Of
New York.
I'm addition Junius S. Morgan, jr
the treasurer of the organization. re-
ceived 1000 shares of the Allegheny
stock. or a gratuity of Sl20.000.
TOLI -CCNCIl VI IllC Nlidil
Der received Allegheny and Standard
Brands stock distributed By j. P Nor
gan & Co. They were ellotted 235,000
Allegheny shares and I'll .620 Standard
Brands shares.
"Thus a gratuity of s5,130,760 was
distributed by J. p. Morgan & Co.
among the membership of the Chamber
OF Commerce"
La Toilette said the Morgan firm had
q direct interest" in defeating the
treaty because it holds dominion over
an empire composed of the chief trunk
line railroads and public utility cor
porations of the East"
The House of Morgan" he added
els pursuing the narrow, short-sighted
and selfish policy of bottling up tbs
interior of the United States and pre-
venting its development by seeking tc
continue to the obstruction tc

ment to the industrial bill
Amendments Pour In.
While Chairman Harrison and COM
mittee members were speeding the
hearings in an effort to conclude to-
morrow so the bill might be reported to
the Senate by Friday or Saturday,
amendments began pouring into the
Senate
One by Senator Thomas. Democrat,
Of Oklahoma. sought to provide $780,
100000 from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation to buy stock in
solvent but unliquid closed banks, and
to stipulate that bank assets must be
given normal value by Federal eX-
aminers. rather than current depressed

Another, by Senator Ashurst, Demo-
crat, of Arizona, proposed that any con-
struction that could be utilized for the
national defense be included in the
public works program. along with a
provision of preference for domestic
goo;s in building.
Hugh S. johnson, who will head the
industry control-public works activities,
yesterday was at work at the :nnumer-
able details necessary to send the work
ahead promptly after congressional ap-
proval.
Frankfurther Offered Place.
1t was said authoritatively that Felix
Frankfurther Of the Harvard Law School
was offered place in the new admin
istration, but declined after comforting
with johnson.
Under the set up being worked out
the Federal Trade Commission, which,
in the past has held trade practice con-
ferences, will be largely an investigative
agency working with the administra

ment is to have an appointee working

Secretary of Labor Perkins yesterday
described as "a wholesome sign" the in

come to her from industry. A dozen
or more trade groups have presented
tentative proposals for conforming to
the regulative plan. she said. They in
clude leather goods, textiles of all kinds
electrical supplies, ink, lumber, gar

All suggested higher wages as a basis,
the Secretary said, in expressing an
opinion that business men generaliy
want to see this legislation enacted"
Miss Perkins said the Wagner un-
employment service bill was vital as
means of spreading employment equit-
ably as business picks up and the pub

The formal report on the measure,
prepared by Undersecretary of the
Treasury Acheson, said:
The occasion for the declaration in
the resolution that the gold clauses are
contrary to public policy arises out Of
the experience of the present emer-
gency."
Two things developed during the
emergency, the report said. which make
the enforcement Of the gold clauses In
compatible with the public interest.
The FIRST" it said. "is the tendency
which has developed internally to hoard
gold; the second Is the tendency for
capital to leave the country"
With the Treasury preparing to en-
gineer a financial operation In June
involving $4,000, ,000, 900, 1t was explain
ed the issuance of bonds without the
gold clause would affect the medium
upon which the entire credit and cur

SENATE NEAR VOTE
| ON BIG SUPPLY BILL
independent Offices Measure
Debate to Continue This
Afternoon.

The Senate win push ahead with de-
bate on the $4,000, 900 independent
Offices appropriation bill today and
leaders hope to pass it during the aft
ernoon.
This bill carries the funds for vet
erans' benefits, the total of which has
been cut in half by the operation of
the economy act. In view of recent ef-
forts among members Of Congress to
have the veterans economy regulations
modified, there probably will be some
discussion of this subject while the
appropriation bill Is being considered.
There is also likely to be some dis
cussion of the question Of whether the
President should be given power to can
eel or modify mail-carrying contracts.
The House bin contained such a pro-
vision, which the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee eliminated.
Affects U. s. Workers.
The independent Offices bill also con-
tains several general provisions affect
ing the status of Government employees,
including a proposed method of deter
mining how employees should be selected
for dismissal when reductions in force
become necessary. The House directed
that State quotas under the apportion-
ment law be considered in passing on
dismissals This would have worked an
injustice on employees from the District
of Columbia and from a number OF
States that happen to have more than
their quotas in the service at this time.
The Senate Committee rewrote the pro-
vision to require consideration OF both
efficiency and State quotas.
The measure also would allow depart
ment heads to place employees on rota-
tive furloughs as means of spreading
employment, instead of making dismis-
sails.
Extends Retirement Plan.
Another Senate committee amendment
would extend the 30-year retirement
plan in the House bill SO that 1t would
apply to those who wish to retire volun-
tarily. The House provision granted
annuities to those with 80 years OF
service who may be involuntarily sepa-
rated from the service.
Amcng the amendments that are
pending to be offered from the floor IS
one by Senator Robinson of Arkansas,
Demo- ratio leader, to transfer the
Eot" nc Garden to the Department OF
Agricu' 'ture as stsp in the co-crdina-
ton of the greenhouse facilities OF the
Government The transfer was recon-
|. mended by the Budget Bureau.
