Answering complaints regarding the
conditions surrounding employment Of
low-paid postal substitutes, Joseph C..
O'Mahoney. First Assistant Postmaster
General, said in statement given out
for publication today that the Post
Office Department has done and would
continue to do everything within law
to help this class.
Referring specifically to Labor day
protests made in kilograms to admins
tration officials, OMahoney conceded
that the plight of the substitute was
difficult but said charges OF sweat
faith faith" ~
To the Labor day assertion by Andrew
T. Newton, president of the National
ORGANIZATION of Substitute Postal En-
ployes that relief agencies operating on
Federal funds, refuse them charity be-
cause they are nominally employed by
the Government" O'Mahoney an
swered:
1T has been reported that in some
communities relief authorities have de-
clined to recognize the claims Of postal
substitutes on the ground that they
were Government employees. These
COulplaQlko 1IdfC 6SSNA AeAo OSAS&S eA.S
Federal Relief Administration, which
has promptly notified the agencies con-
cerned that no such discrimination
should be permitted"
Newton, in statement supplement-
ing his Labor day letter, cited nine
cases of postal substitutes, with de-
pendants, ranging from 3 to 6, who
received monthly averages Of from 81
to SIS. He said he could cite thou
sands.
Substitutes handle the N. R. A. COM
munica tions for an average salary OF
SIS a week, while the code provides a
minimum wage Of SIS week for Office
boys" said Newton.
O'Mahoney pointed out the Post
Office Department itself was con-
fronted with bathing financial prob
lem, which taxes it to care for its reg
ular employees He added that 1t was
not unmindful OF the substitutes, and
said they are getting as much work
as possible. in view Of the lessened mail
volume.

BY the Associated Press.
AMBRIDGE, Pa, September 1.-THE
quaint old village of Economy, scene of
an early American experiment in COM
munism-and a pretty successful one,
too-S threatened with extinction as
one of Western Pennsylvania hlstori-
cal landmarks.
Where once the Economics" labored
and prospered for rs years in Chris
tian communism" only few buildings
now stand, and their existence, his
torianS assert, Is endangered by lack
Of funds for maintenance.
A move to preserve the century-old
village has been started by DR.. Audrey
Avinof, director Of Pittsburgh's Car
negie Museum, who fears the buildings
may fall into complete diSrepair and
valuable relics lost.
Founded in 1924 by George Rapp, q
religious leader who brought the COL
onists from Germany, Economy pros
pered for IS years. It passed out largely
because its members were bound by q
VOW never to marry.
The Economics" ran diStilleries,
wineries, silk, woolen, cotton and tan
ming plants and even dabbled in timber,
oil and railroads, but the workers re-
ceived no money for their labor They
all did an equal share for which they
got food, clothing. wine and other
necessities.
The only buildings left are the great
house. around which the communal life
revolved; music hall. granary, the wine
cellar and a grotto.

BUSINESS CREDIT
A|DR[ANS STUDIED
U. S. Plans to Help Average
Man in Need of Capital
Money.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

What can the Government do to
help the average business man who
needs capital money?
The question Is being studied by
various agencies of the Government
with the hope Of finding some mech
anism that will give the banks Of the
country confidence to hberalize cred
its and also furnish some machinery
through new channels for capital
credits
While Congress apparently was
the Government to private businesses,
this was eliminated when President
Hoover vetoed the proposal. It was
not revived in the extra session. Ex-
isting law, however, does give rather
broad powers for the setting up Of new
credit machinery
Aid Seen by Bank Law.
Thus the emergency banking law
passed last March gives the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation the
right to buy the debentures or pre-
ferred stock of banks or trust COM
panies. It has been suggested that
community mortgage companies could
be set up and furnish capital credits,
issuing their own debentures for sale
to the public or to the banks. The
notes or debentures of such community
corporations, which would be organized
as trust companies, probably could be
made eligible for rediscount by spe-
cial regulation Of the Federal Reserve
Board, which also has been given
broad powers under the new banking
laws. In emergencies and exigent cir
cumstances the Reserve banks can ac-
cepr for rediscount obligations ade-
Quately secured or indorsed by banks
themselves.
An intermediate credit system for
business comparable to that which
exists for agriculture is what may be
developed out of the numerous sugges-
tions now before Government ofiicials.
There have been plans, too, for a
Nationwide appeal to the banks OF the
country to agree voluntarily to sell pre-
ferred stock to the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation. This has been ad-
vocated once or twice in recent months
by Jesse H. Jones, chairman of the r.
F. c., and he amplified the same sug-
gestion at the American Bankers Asso-
ciation Convention at Chicago last week
Action Misconstrued.
The banks. however, do not like to
sell preferred stock to the r. F. c. be-
SouoC VIC PdS3AS tllC loSI year VI 81
has misconstrued credit relations with
the r. F. c. as being sign of weak
ness Of the banks. To overcome this
objection, it has been suggested that
all banks agree to come in voluntarily
SO there would be no reflection on any
institution.
1t would be like the mobilization Of
bank resources which President Hoover
tried with the National Credit Corpora
ton. Indeed, the banks voluntarily CO.
operated in that plan. which was even
more difficult to accomplish than the
preferred stock method. For in the
case Of the National Credit Corporation,
2 per cent Of deposits or a certain per
cent Of banks capital had to be seq
regated for use in buying debentures.
Under the preferred stock plan, the
banks would receive money from the
Government for use in enlarging their
credit structure
Some device to aid business credit Is
expected to be promulgated in a fort
night.

CHANGES IN ALIEN LAW

Asylum Here for Germans.

Revision of existing immigration re-
strictions to admit religious and politi-
cal refugees was asked Of President
Roosevelt in a memorial made public
today from the American Civil Liber-
ties Union. It is particularly aimed to
admit refugees from Germany.
The memorial, signed by So educators,
lawyers, clergymen and liberals, urged
changes be made to meet the nations
tradition of asylum for refugees es-
Gaping from foreign countries"
The number of such refugees who
would seek admission would not be
large, the union said. Possible competi-
tion with Americans for Jobs, 1t was
asserted, might be eliminated by re-
quiring the posting of bonds by respon-
sponsible citizens to insure against
refugees becoming public charges.
