ASK SENATE
FOR RELIEF

Three amendments to the do
mestic allotment farm relief bill
were proposed at Senate hearings
today by C. w. Holman, secre
tary of the National Cooperative
Mix Producers Federation. He
said:
"There should be q COM
pensatOry tax on OleOmargarine
to offset the tax on butter pro-
posed in the bill.
"The Secretary Of Agriculture
should be empowered to reduce
! the adjustment charge on the
processing of dairy products.
This charge should be flexible.
"a provision should be in
Cluded to restrain new pro-
ducers from unduly increasing
their output"
Holman explained to Senator
McNary (R.) of. Oregon, agri
cultural committee chairman
that the proposal for q flexible
adjustment charge was to enable
the dairy industry to "get ou'
from under" in case the allot
ment plan should prove unwork'
able.
w. F. Jensen, Of Chicago
secretary-manager of the Amer
ican Association of Butter Manu-
facturers, said "our attitude to-
ward the bill is sympathetic bu
we don't think it will work"

WORK INSURANCE
IND. C., WAGNERA|
Senator Introduces Bill to
Start Discussion in Pre-
Iiminary Way.

Legislation seeking to establish a
system of unemployment insurance for
workers in the District will be sought
at the next session of Congress, Senator
Wagner, Democrat, of New York, said
yesterday, after he had introduced a
bill on the subject. He explained he
introduced the measure at this time
merely for the purpose of starting dis
cussion of the subject, preliminary to
having it considered by the District
Committee when Congress returns.
The bill outlines conditions under
which groups of employers could draw
up a plan of their own for maintaining
an unemployment reserve, from which
to pay benefits to jobless workers.
Alternative for Plan.
Industries or groups of employers
failing to establish plan would be
subject to plan to be operated under
the Secretary of Labor. Employers
would have to pay certain percentage
of their pay rolls into a fund to build
up the unemployment reserve fund.
Senator Wagner said the bill which
he introduced Tor consideration In the
District is similar to plan that has
been considered, but not yet adopted,
in New York State.
The first section of the bill consists
Of q declaration of policy, in which 1t
is stated economic insecurity due to
unemployment, is serious menace to
the health. welfare and morals Of the
people Of the District of Columbia" and
that it is, therefore, subject requiring
appropriate action by Congress "for the
compulsory setting aside Of financial
reserves for the benefit of persons un-
employed through no fault OF their
own"
Conditions Are Detailed.
The bill is a lengthy one, outlining in
minute detail the conditions that would
have to be complied with by employers.
The term "employe," as used in the
bill, means any person employed In
any industry subject to the measure,
except those who are paid $4,000 year
or more and other than manual labor.
The definition does not include per-
sons employed by the Federal or Dis
trict Governments.

MUSEUM AIDE AGREES
BIG FISH GET AWAY
Cites Records Standing for Years
for Largest Catches to Prove
Anglers Contention.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 14.-Miss Fran
cesco La Monte of the American Mu-
scum Of Natural History agrees with
anglers that the biggest fish get away.
After checking the museums world
wide fish records that date back to
1865, and range from New Jersey to
New Zealand, Miss La Monte, assistant
curator of fishes, said yesterday new
out-of-the-water marks are infrequent.
I'VE recognize about SO different
records for as many species Of salt and
fresh water fish caught by rod snd
reel" she said, land, while there may
be bigger fish in the sea than ever
were caught, they are seldom hooked.
"In 1882, for instance, so far as my
records show, only one record was up
set and that was by 14-pound black
bass caught near Oakland, Fla, by
Walter Harden"
Another record fell this year. It was
for weakfish and went to Frederick j.
ConZen of Brooklyn.
The two oldest marks-for yellow
perch and bluefish-were set In 1865
and 1874, respectively.
