PRODUCTION LIMIT
HITS At MONOPOLY
Miss Perkins Says Aim Is to
Keep Rich Plants From
Unfair Competition.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary Perkins told newspaper
men today that among the changes she
had suggested to the 30-hour-week bill
was "a measure of control Of produc-
ton to eliminate unfair competition"
The Secretary of Labor, said. how
ever, that the change she had recon-
mended to the Black bill, now pending
before the House Labor Committee, did
not contemplate any Nationwide sys-
TEN of production control"
She explained it was intended only to
supplement the shorter work week bill
which has already passed the Senate.
The principle Of the measure has ad-
ministration approval and the sugges-
tions Miss Perkins made to the House
Committee are also believed to have the
approval of the White House.
Could Limit Hours.
In the case of particular plants which
are violating the fair competition"
clause suggested, the Secretary of Labor
would be authorized to specify a limit
on the total hours OF operation OF the
offending plants
Secretary Perkins said conditions in
textile industries might be cited as an
example of the need for the change she
has recommended in the Black bill.
Fifteen per cent of the textile plants,
she said, might work four shifts under
the Black bill, keeping their plant in
operation all the time and thus render
futile the efforts of the remaining tex
tile manufacturers to eliminate night
work for women or to regulate their
hours of production to conform to an
orderly demand for their goods
Miss Perkins will be asked to appear
before the committee tomorrow or next
day to discuss her suggested changes in
the bill, which was finally approved
yesterday by the Senate. Besides the
production control, Miss Perkins also
has suggested inclusion Of a minimum
wage provision.
Constitutionality Questioned.
The Perkins amendments also con-
template two other Federal boards-one
wages and another to see that workmen
are not kept on the job more than 80
hours a week.
Some committee members said the
30-hour- -a-week provision would be en-
forced through ban on interstate ship
mentS of goods made by employees who
worked longer than that but that q
similar tie-in was not proposed as to
total production
Consequently" said Representative

arises some question Of constitutionality.

Protest.

Plans for possible rerouting Of the
Sixteenth and Buchanan street line
Of tine Washington Rapid Transit Co.
were considered yesterday by the Pub
lie Utilities Commission after petit
tion from residents in the neighbor-
hood of Fifteenth and Allison streets.
The commission directed members
of it's staff to consult with the bus
company and with residents Of the
neighborhood to see If a solution might
be found. Protests against the noise
caused by the buses and the requests
for some change in the route came
from residents along Allison street, be-
tween Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets

sion recently by Harry Davis, repre-
sentative of the Independent Taxi Op-
orators Association, asking for the es-
tablishment of a uniform system of

not eligible for a residential power
rate, which is lower than the CONNER
cial rates now charged the institution
by the Potomac Electric Power Co.
The institution had been asked to be
placed on the lower rates, since it is
located in a residential district. The
commission found, however, that the
residential rate is applicable only to
private homes and apartment houses.

The utilities commission will pro-
pose to the power company a lower
schedule of charges to be made to con-
sumers in cases where extensions Of
conduits have to be made to the prop
erty of the new customer. Where such
conduits do not now exist the first ap-
plicant for service is assessed $325

conduits after the first 35 feet of ex-
tension, which Is given free, and 40
cents foot for extension of overhead
lines beyond the first $50 feet. The
power company is asked to reply to the
proposals of the commissions.

TARIFFS DELUS|ON,3:
,REY.l.A. RYAN SAYS.
Tells Catholic Delegates In.
fant Industries Do Not
Exist in u. S. Now.

Tariffs with but a few minor excep-
tions are not the protection they are
supposed to be, rather they are delu-
sion, Rev. John A. Ryan, professor OF
economics at Catholic University, told
the seventh annual conference of the
Catholic Association for International
Peace, at Catholic University this morn
ing.
The session was devoted to the inter-
national economic reconstruction which
was discussed in q paper by Rev. John
La Fargo, 8. j., and joint study from
international ethics and Economic Re-
lations Committees presented by Rev r
A. MCGOWAN and a World Court SYM
postum.
DR.. Ryan attacked the presumption
which he accrediated to protectionists
that our infant industries need pro-
lection.
"Our infant industries do not exist. y
he said, they have all grown up and
there is not the need for the tar1n
industries.
"The fact that all the nations Of the
world now have high tariffs means
nothing-except that the nations have
all gone temporarily crazy. Tariffs,
generally speaking, are immoral"
Urges Settlement.
At the international dinner last
night at the Mayiower. Father Ryan
advocated immediate settlement OF war
debts for any amount the debtor ma
tions would agree to pay.
This would remove. he said, the war
debt sore, which threatens the peace OF
the world. He said the debtor nations
no longer have q moral obligation 70
pay, for to pay would cause their COL
lapse. He declared that it is impcs-
sible for them to pay in gold and the
United States will not accept payment
in goods
He urged that the whole war debts
question be removed from the interna-
tional scene, thus clarifying the rela-
tions of other countries with this coun-
try and paving the way for more secure
establishment of peace throughout the
world.
Wants Stronger Pact.
Parker T. Moon of Columbia Univer-
sity, president Of the association, saw
bright spots ON the international
horizon as the result Of President
Roosevelt's attitude toward tariffs and
other economic problems. The Presi-
dent, he said can go far toward quick
ening the sluggish pulse of interna-
tionel trade.
He saw war threats In the Man
churian situation and decried the
policies of the Hitler regime IN Ger
many. He declared that the Kellogg
pact keeps nations from declaring
war. but does not keep them from
fighting, and advocated . more binding
tie to bar hostilities.
Catholicism" said Most Rev. John
M. Mcnamara. auxiliary bishop OF
Baltimore, can unite and a desire for
peace will sweep the world"
Michael Francis Doyle, well known
international lawyer, presided at the
dinner.
