sacrifice for labor"
Analyzing the proposal outlined to
the committee yesterday by Secretary
Perkins, Green said he saw no necessity
for permitting some workers to be on
the job 40 hours a week, but would agree
to that elasticity If the administration
asked it.
Green said the bill would not apply
to rail workers, but I'VE can see no
reason" why it should not be applied
to newspapers and other publications.
I'VE urge very strongly that the
printing industry be included in the

labor leader said.
Green said that if the bill did not
apply to imports, 1.-The President or Con-
gress would have to deal with the ques-

some other method" but he would not
agree with Representative Hope. Re-

Hope remarked that the President
now has authority to increase tariffs

Appropriation Measure Be-

of Urgent Needs.

The Senate Appropriations Commit

act on the 1884 District appropriation
bill, which was liberalized by the Dis
trict Subcommittee yesterday to take
care Of some Of the more urgent munic-
ipal needs to which attention was
called during the hearings.
Although the recommendations of the
subcommittee are not being made pub
lie until the entire committee takes
action, reliable reports are to the effect
that the subcommittee has provided for
the expenditure Of more money for nee
essary projects and has also recon-
mcnded that the Federal share be raised
from $5,700,000 in the House bill to
$6,250,0O0.
1t is understood the principal changes
proposed by the subcommittee provide
for carrying forward the school building
program and new bridge construction.

of Public Welfare by adding $3.50 900 to
the House item of $l,250,000 for this
purpose. The House, realizing that a
substantial surplus of District tax
money would accrue under the reduced
total of the bill which it passed, left
the Commissioners free to reduce the
local tax rate below the present rate
of $1.70 If the revenue situation in the
coming fiscal year will permit. This
was done by leaving out of the pending
bill the clause which has been inserted
each year since 1929 forbidding re-
duction in the $1.70 rate.
It is understood the Senate subcom-
mittee also has left out the usual bans
against lowering the tax rate. 1t is not
definitely known at this time, however,
to what extent the Senate group has
changed the net total of the House BILL
The situation regarding possible
change in the tax rate, therefore, is
an uncertain factor at this time. If the
Senate committee reports the bill Fri
day. 1t may come up in the Senate next
week.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, Of Okla
homa, new chairman Of the District
subcommittee ON appropriations, will
have charge Of the measure on the

STOCK RIGGING LA|DI
TO CITIES SERVICE |

/ Says Company Created
) Market Demand.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A statement that the Henry L.
Doherty interests created" large part
of the total demand for Cities Service
Co. common stock during stock market
operations in 1927, was made before the
Federal Trade Commission today by
Thomas w. Mitchell, commission ex-
aminer.
The examiner submitted in evidence
extensive tabulations showing prices on
the New York Curb Exchange for the
common stock, prices Of market pur-
chases by the Cities Service Securities
Co. and the total volume of transac-
tions.
The Securities Co., objective Of the
present phase of the commission
utility investigation, Is wholly owned
by the Cities Service Co. Mitchell, In
testimony at the opening hearing yes
terday. charged the Securities COS
operations amounted virtually to the
Cities Service Co.'S trading on the
Curb Exchange in its own stock.
Controlled Volume.
Referring to his tabulation OF transac-
tions in the stock in April, 1927. Mitch
ell said that, except for three days, the
volume of trading on the Curb Exchange
rose and fell with the volume OF pur-
chases by the securities company.
What inference can be drawn from
this?" Robert E. Healy. commission
chief counsel, asked.
The natural inference Is that very
large proportion of the total demand for
stock eX-
pressed in purchases on the New YORK
Curb Exchange, was not furnished by
the independent general investing pub
hc," Mitchell replied, lit was furnished
by the Doherty management 1or account
OF the securities company.
"The Doherty management gathered
into its own administrative control.
even created. through the efforts OF It's
sales organization and of the special OIL
fering dealers. large part OF the totai
demand for the stock, and applleo 10
these market purchases such portion OF
this controlled demand as its admlnls-
trative Judgment decided"
Cites Price Fluctuation.
A further connection could be pointed
out Mitchell said. between fluctuations
in the volumes of shares purchased by
the Securities Co. and nuctuatlonS
in market price. The price oeclhea
from s5l62l, per share at the close OF
trading, April l6. to s44 share at
the close Of trading April 80. 1927.
1T will also be observed, Mitcneii
said "that the number of shares traded
on the exchange increased from Sou
on April 16 to 44,40O shares April 81
and the number of shares purchased
by the Securities Co in the market
increased from 1882 on April l6 10
25.373 on April 80"
Mitchell said he had been told by
company representatives that this sharp
break in the price had been caused by
a bear raid based on rumors OF Mr..
Doherty's death" and that in order to
sustain the market price, the manage
ment took a large part OF the shares
offered.
"The upward reaction Of the market
price after April 80. to s46.75 per snare
at the close of the market June ~,
he said, Indicates something OF the
effectiveness of support given to the
market by the Doherty management.
