The money wasn't lost. It was spent, in wages, in material, in useful work. It's still in pro- ductive use somewhere in the country. That's not losing money!" Employment

INVESTIGATION
 OF THE MARKET
 SURELY COMING
Breaks Like That of Last Week Will Hurt Rec0v- cry Efforts and Sena- tors Begin Action
By LYLE Q. WILSON United Press Stan COrrcspOndent)

VOultGu l-FCSS oUdH SOTECSlSOhehCusI
 Washington, July 25.-UP)- Congressional demands for imme- diate investigation of last weeks spectacular deflation of the Roose- welt bull market was coupled to- day with proposals for Legislative action to prevent abnormal mar ket fluctuations. n .@
 The administration is refusing to meddle in the stock market situa- ton for the time being at least, although 1t Is taking stern action to stabilize the grain markets. Cap itol Hill is concerned over both.
 Senator Steiwer, repn, Ore. pro- claimed an open season on bears. He accompanied his statement with a telegram to Ferdinand Pecora, senate stock market inves- tigation counsel, urging immedi- ate check-up of the factors involv- ed in last weeks market break. Steiwer Is a member of the investi- gating committed.
 "Turther bear raiding must be checked" Stelwer said. today. "The past weeks shrinkage of commod- ities and securities on the. various exchanges, whether due to over- speculation, bear raiding. or all three, interfere seriously with the national efforts to restore confi- dence and to increase wages and commodity prices"
 Stewer proposed a legislative plan to prevent in some measure abnormal market movements such as that of last week and of the autumn of 1929. It was as fol- lows:
 i. Use by all corporations re- porting income to the treasury of Q simpIified form which would enable the reader to determine approxi- mately the liquidating value of all classes of securities outstanding against the corporation.
 2. Control to reduce short sell
 g.. Prohibition against directors of any corporation increasing de- creasing or suspending dividends without 60 days prior authorization from stockholders.
 Earlier Steiwer made public his telegram to Pecora.
 "I suggest this inquiry should be started without delay" his wire said. "It is of imperative impor- tance that causes. of recent crash be determined at earliest possible date and if same resulted from artificial manipulation, the country should be immediately advised so that adequate corrective measures may be provided promptly"
 When hearings were recessed for the summer Chairman Fletcher of the senate investigations asked Pecora to keep constantly in touch with Roosevelt market in which se- curities values were moving rapid ly up. He promised the lawyer that he would be ready at any time this summer to convene the senate committee if Pecora believed open hearings were required to reveal the inside story of market trends. Otherwise Pecora would collect his information for presentation when the committee meets next Octo- ber.

Unemployed Fund
 Balance Increases
Relief List Total Again Drops = Receipts and
 Expenditures Higher

For the eighth successive week the balance on hand in the Mutual Aid fund has shown an increase. The balance as of yesterday is $25,104 compared with $22,303 a week ago. This is due to the fact that the number on the relief list Is gradually decreasing as many formerly receiving aid return to regular employment. The num- Der now on the payroll totals l. 156. A week ago the total was l. 200
 Receipts during the past week amounted to $11,327.4S while the disbursements were $8,527.22. The receipts were larger than usual during the past week but this is due to the fact that the pledges of the Connecticut Light & Power company, Southern New England Telephone company and office de- partments of some of the large factories are paid on a monthly basis. Expenditures during the past week were also larger than usual but this was due to the necessity of paying for 8 large order of shoes for children who will enter school in September.
 Since the fund was started to- tai of s1,4SO,4 400 has been collects | ed and the disbursements havo lamounted to $1,455,296.

Works Councils
 Gain In America
Number of Workers Covered By Employe - Repre-
 sentatiOn Tripled in Last Thirteen Years

New York, July 25-The num- Der of workers covered by em- ploye-representation systems in the United States increased from 403,- 765 in 1919, to 1,263,194 in 1982, according to a tabulation made public today by the National In- dustrial conference board, in re- port entitled "Collective Bargaining through Employees Representation"
 "The history, present scope, and importance of this form of collec- tive relationship in American in- dustry make 1t impossible to ignore works councils as factor affecting the successful operation of the National Industrial Recovery act" says the conferences boards re. port.
 "Conditions incident to the busi- ness depression furnished a severe test of the value of employe repre- sentation.". continues the report Works councils were called upon to deal with the most difficult of all problems concerning working conditions. discharge of employees and reduction of wage rates. If they survived, to exacting trial, they indeed Justified their exist ence." ,..<-r
 Although, the number of concerns with employe-representation sys- tems declined 20 per cent from the peak of 432 in 1926 to SIS in 1932, the number of, employees covered declined only per cent, these sys- tems would appear without Ques- ton to have held their ground" the conference board concludes. It is significant, according to the report, that over S5 percent of the employe representation systems found to exist in 1892 had been in, continuous operation for more than 10 yeras.
 There are two basic and dis tinct types of emp1oye-representa ton systems. the report continues. One, the joint-representation type, stresses cooperative action of man. agement and working force and
 provides. for equal representation
 and equal votingN power in the
 council. The other type. the em- ployecommittee type, assumes that employe representatives can act with greater freedom and more truly represent the working force if there are no management mem- berS on the cOunclI. some planS Ol this type, known as employe asso- ciations, closely parallel the organ
 ization of trade unions, with pro-
 visions for locals and a governing
 body of employe representatives. except that membership is con-
 fined to employees of the particular company. .''r.
 A type of plan known as Indus trial Democracy" which provides for house of representatives elect ed from the rank and file. a senate of foremen, and a cabinet of exc cutivs, was introduced before the World war. enjoyed some populor- ity for a time, but proved too cum
 bersome for ordinary purposes, and steadily lost ground, till now only seven companies are known to have retained this type.

Political boundaries should be ignored in attacking the problem of pollution in harbor and coastal waters, Nicholas s. Hill. Jr, presi- dent of the Hackensack Water company, and internationally known water supply engineer, de- clares in a paper prepared for the Connecticut Society of Civil Engi- 'neers. .4

 Discussing present conditions. l1g Hill says that New York, New Jersey and Connecticut have sew age problems in common. "The extent of pollution of the harbor and coastal waters in the metropol- itan area in the vicinity of New York city, to which each of these ctates contributes, has grown to large proportions" he continues.
 "Tie situation was serious when the Metropolitan Sewage Commis- sion of New York, after extensive studies, reported upon 1t in 1914. Since then little has been done un- til quite recently, although the population is now twice that of 1914, and it has been estimated that it will increase in the same ratio during the next fifteen years.

 ..There is practically no fish life in the district most affected, and the effect of pollution on bathing beaches and watering places is a cause of grave concern. In the absence of prompt steps to remedy the situation, 1t has been said that the great beach at Coney Island will have to be closed within five or six years.
 ,. "New York city is the worst of- fender. It's present plans for sew, age treatment will go far to rem edy conditions, but will not pro- duce the required improvement unless supplemented by treatment of sewage reaching these waters from other sources.
 "Connecticut's contribution em- anates from the territory adjacent to Long Island Sound westerly from New Haven in which the states largest and busiest indus- trial cities are located. and to q lesser extent from the rivers en- tering the Sound along this coast.
 "The principal rivers are the Quinnipiac, the Housatonic and its tributary, the Naugatuck, the Pe- quonnock. the Norwalk, the Noro- ton, and the Byram.
 -'The Qujnnipiac receives par tially treated sewage and some inc dustriai wastes from Meriden and acid pickle liquors from WaIiing-' ford. The Housatonic receives most of it's pollution from the Naugatuck at Derby, which Is per- haps the most heavily polluted stream in Connecticut.

The two general types. the joint comittee and the employe commit
 tee, are sometimes combined to ob- tain the advantags eof both. Thus while the committees are considered to be basically employe bodies, they may be turned into joint committees at any time when con- ditions farrant. This is illustrated in 6 recently established plan of the Carnegie Steel company, sub sidiary of the United States Steel corporation.
 H"From merely adjudicating the grievances, "the conference board report concludes, "employe-repre- sentation plans have gone on to a larger field of usefulness in CO., ordinating the efforts of manage ment and worker to the advantage of both. They have provided a much needed medium of communi- cation between management and working force, a two-way channel. always open, which when utilized in a spirit of fairness has been pro- ductive of much good to both parties"
