WOULD TRIM VALUE
Of GAS COMPANIES
Committees of Citizens Fed.
GRAFTON Ask Elimination of
"Going Concern" Figure.

The Executive Committee Of the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations at a
meeting late yesterday unanimously
approved an amendment to the bill to
merge two local gas companies, pro-
viding that the element of going con-
Germ value" should be eliminated from
valuation of the merged company.
The Public Utilities Committee Of the
federation, meeting jointly with the
Executive Committee, took the same po-
sition.
BY SO doing the federation's two COM
mittees supported the stand taken by
Peoples Counsel Richmond B. Keech
They opposed the stand of the Public
Utilities Commission, which is satisfied
with a merger bill without any refer
ence to going concern value"
The importance of the amendment In
future determination of gas rates may
be seen by taking $20,000,000 as an
approximate valuation Of the merged
concern, and supposing that 10 per
cent were to be used for going concern
value" This would bring the figures up
to S22, 100000. Assuming the company
would be allowed to earn rate of 7
per cent, the extra $2,000,000 would
mean a difference of $4,000 per
annum in rates.
The amendment. to be proposed by
Senator Howell, Republican. of Nebras-
ka, would take the form of contract,
wherein the companies would bargain
away their right to the going concern
value" in exchange for the merger.
which, according to testimony before the
Senate District Committee, would save
them $4,000 to $50,000 year.

SENATORS TO HEAR
PLEA AGAINST CUTS
Leaders of U. s. Employees Plan
Visits in Attempt to Head Off
Added Pay Reductions.

With adoption of declaration OF
policy assailing reduction of pay, OFF,
GERS of the National Federation Of
Federal Employees, comprising the
Executive Council, today arranged to
see members of the Senate in an effort
to head of further economies at the
expense of Government workers.
The council planned to call on Sen
ators from the States from which OFF,
cials of the federation come. and it
was said they were hopeful" that some
benefit would result from these con-
ferences.
Along with the attack on wage re-
duction, the declaration also put the
Executive Council on record as favor
ing vigorous support for extension of
the merit system, and as holding that
any movement to introduce the spoils
system be vigorously opposed"
The economy program was described
as springing from the unprecedentedly
bitter and vicious efforts of selfish
special interests to disrupt and ulti-
mately destroy the Federal service
structure

HOrr Is Relieved
As Zoo Accepts
His "Pet" Monkey
MarmOset Given Member
of House Causes Him
Lot of Grief.
BY the Associated Press.

Representative Horr, Republican, OF
Washington, is much happier-the Ma
tional Zoo has taken off his hands
what was supposed to be pet monkey.
One days ownership was enough for
Horr. From the time it was given to
him by friend In New York, the al
legged pet brought nothing but grief.
At the very start, Horr became unpopu-
lar when the marmoset got away in the
railroad station and climbed on lunch
counter for what was some kind of a
monkey game.
Horr finally got the animal to WASH
ington and into his Office, where he
put him on exhibition for his friends
First off the marmoset chewed the
erasers off all the pencils in sight. But
the last straw came when it got on top
of the file cases and began throwing the
pencils at invited Representatives and
the Office force.
Horr told his secretary TO give the
monkey to the Zoo and to his great
relief it was accepted.

FILING OF REPORT
ON RENTS DELAYED
Senate Subcommittee May Discard
Commission Plan for
Check.

The Senate subcommittee inquiring
into rents and housing problems in
Washington has postponed until next
Monday the filing of its report in the
Senate, with indications that 1t is con-
sidering the possibility Of keeping a
check on rent levels in some other way
than through revival of a rent COM
mission.
At the close of an executive session
yesterday Chairman Capper said the
subcommittee reached no conclusions,
but had been advised it would be diff
hcult to draft rent commission law
that would be constitutional. 1t was
pointed out that the rent commission
which existed some years ago was based
on conditions growing out of wartime
emergency.
Assistant Corporation Counsel w. A.
Roberts and Peoples Counsel Richmond
B. Keech were called in to the sub
committee meeting yesterday, and it Is
understood they gave their views on
the legal phases of rent commission
legislation.
After the meeting, Senator King of
Utah said there was some discussion of
the possibility of making use of the
recently enacted general licensing law
by requiring the filing of information
on rents and buildings costs in issuing
licenses for apartment houses. He sug-
gested that in this way public opinion
could be utilized to keep check on
rentals.
Senator Copeland of New York said
he believes that from a legal stand
point Congress could establish con-
stitutional rent commission in the Dis
trict, but added he was not sure he
would favor taking that step at this
time.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Rob-
erts later in the week will supply the
subcommittee with certain information
suggested during yesterdays conference,
after which the subcommittee viii BE-
called tcgetiSr again.

ARMY CAMP CARE

Miss Abbott Says Couzens
Plan Would Stimulate, Not
Check, Wandering.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PresS.
Miss Grace Abbott, chief of the Chill

tent of the wandering boy" problem
today voiced opposition to concentra-
ton of the jobless youths in Federal
military camps.
Such plan would stimulate wan
dering, rather than check It," Miss Abb
bott said. II believe the fare of pub
licity which would inevitably attend
the establishment Of such camps would
prompt boys to leave home and try
them out"
Senator Couzens, Republican, of
Michigan Is preparing bill to open
Army camps to boys now hitch-hiking
their way from city to city. Another
interested in the problem is Senator
Cutting, Republican, of New Mexico,
who has prepared legislation for s1o,-

sition that any Federal financial aid
should be administered through State

Cutting proposal as sound.
Il would favor having some money
allocated to the return of some OF these
boys to their homes-in cases where
investigation showed that the feasible
solution she said. Many of them
are very sorry they ever went away"
Social workers, in preparing statistics
for presentation at congressional hear
igns on some of these bills later this
month, have found also the gypsyine
, girl, and the nomad family in larger
numbers than ever before.
Both Miss Abbott and William j.
Plunkert, field worker for the National
Committee on Care Of the Transient
and Homeless stressed the general
transiency problem, backing their con-
clusions with statistics on the number
of meals and lodgings provided for the
homeless during the first nine months
of 1882 in 20 metropolitan areas. The
Red Cross also noted similar findings
The figures showed that Chicago
served 1921 1924 meals to wanderers
| 29l .967 of them to women and girls
| 1t also furnished 2,536,974 lodgings fol
the night, 112 ,286 being made available
to women and girls.
| Same Trend Elsewhere.
| Figures from other cities showed very
much the same trend. In the nine
months the 20 cities gave to stranger:
making short stays a total of 1902
338 meals and 4.300,985 lodgings. The
social workers interpreted the statistic.
as showing that many mothers were or

Congress should lead the way back

Shaw, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Government Employees, told
Treasury Department Lodge. No. "a, at
meeting last night in the Hamilton
Hotel.
Il am convinced there will be no up
ward trend in the economic situation
in this country" he said, until Con-
gress has faith enough in the future of
the United States to say to the world:
We have regained our courage. We
nave started fghtlng our way back to
normally
The only way Congress can make
this statement and expect to have it
believed is not only by refusing to re-
duce salaries further, but also by re-
storing Federal salaries to their former
status.
Other Officials Speak.
ut is difficult to understand how our
statesmen can refuse to accept this fact
in view of the evidence of the last few
years. Each time business reduced sal
aries, more persons were added to the
ranks of the unemployed. When the
Government approved this wage-cut-
act, the number of unemployed reached
new high figure
