FAVOR PRESENT PLAN.
S,152 Budd Workers Vote to Continue
Employe Representation.

PHILADELPHIA, March 10 R.-
Announcement of the vote cast at
yesterdays election of employees of
the Edward G. Budd Manufacturing
Co. on the question of labor repre-
sentation showed that majority of
the workers favored the present en-
ployes' representation plan.
The employees held the election III
the face of orders from Washington
to postpone it 10 days, until Hugh S.
johnson, N. r. A. administrator
could consider a protest from a labor
union that the arrangements for the
election were unfair. The union con-
tended that 800 men who had been
on strike and had not been REIN
stated should be allowed to vote.
The result of the election as re-
ported today by certified public ac-
countants, was as follows:
For self-organiZation through the
plan of employees representation as
proposed by 10 employe representa-
tives, 1852.
For self-organization through the
United Automobile Workers Federated
Union of the American Federation of
Labor. 1895.
For self-organization through any
other agency preferred by individuals,

For self-organization through any
other agency but no agency desig-
mated, 228
Opposed to self organization. 27e.

What's What
BehindNews
In Capital
Advisers of Roosevelt
Apparently In for
Shake.up.
BY PAUL MALLON.

- ONE rather important resigna-
tions will be in order shortly
unless Mr.. Roosevelt steps In
~ and calms the growing fac
tional strife in his inner circle
over the stock market bill.
The subtle dispute between the lib
erals and conservatives of the Roose-
welt board of advisers was funny at
first.
The liberals were championing a
sharp-fanged bill they wrote and
planted in Congress. No one was op-
posing them except Wall Street, which
made their fight easy and pleasant.
Then came Assistant Commerce
Secretary Dickinson ,Dtth public
testimony that the bill 1Dds prob
ably Uorse than nothing. He tore
it into shreds.
Even then a good laugh all around
might have settled things, except that
one of the liberals inspired rather
pointed newspaper story against
Treasury Secretary Morgenthau. In
fact, the story said Mr.. Morgenthau
was nothing but a secret tool for Wall
Street working against the liberal
bill.
Morgenthau Particular.
If there is one thing Mr.. Morgen-
thau does not like to be called, it is
a tool of Wall Street. No one would
have made such a charge except one
campaigning too ardently in behalf
of the liberal bill.

NAVY AIR WIDOWS
AID IS TAKEN UP
Amendment to Independent Of
fees Bill Would Restore
Double Pensions.

An effort to restore double pen
sions to the widows of Navy person.
mel killed in aviation accidents is
being made in connection with con-
gressional consideration of the inde-
pendent Offices appropriation bill,
after revelations that many of the
widows of victims of the crash of
the U. S. S. Akron a year ago are in
want.
Senator Bone of Washington has
introduced an amendment to the bill
which would restore the double pen
sion of S44 a month. The double
under the terms of the economy act
signed by President Roosevelt March
81. 1893, 13 days before the Akron
crashed. Widows of the officers and
men lost in that disaster, which took
a toll of 70 lives. have been receiv-
ing only s22 month.
One of the final acts of Admiral
Moffett, killed in the Akron crash,
was to protest the elimination of the
double pension provision
The Navy Department has taken
no stand on the matter and will make
no recommendations to Congress on
the matter, since it deals with pri-
vate individuals. Navy regulations
prohibit advisory action in connec-
ton with private claims of this char
acter. it was stated
Some of the families of Akron VIC
tins are being assisted by the Naval
Relief Society, but funds of the So
ciety are too limited to make pos
s1ble adequate relief in all of these
cases. Some of the families have been
broken up because of the inability of
the widows to keep their children with
them while working at meager wages
Some of these women. it is said, are
working as charwomen to exc out
their inadequate pensions.

PARIS, March 10.-The legal stab

understood to have been urged in a
report of the Monetary Committee of
the International Chamber of Com
merce last night in order to strengthen

The report declared the present un-

Then the suggestion got around
that the tool of Wall Street In the
cabinet was not Mr. Morgenthau but
Commerce Secretary Roper. 1t was
he who was undermining the liberal
stock-market program. Mr.. Roper
has been in politics longer than Mr..
Morgenthau and has been called more
things. Hence he did not mind the
yarn as much. At least he did not
show it.
When the fight got to that level,
the real dirty work began.
Pals of Prosecutor Pecora of the
Stock Market Committee hinted that
Pecora did not like the way he was
being treated by the liberals.
They had taken the ,rriting OF
the legislation largely in cir
hands and were objecting to some
changes he had in mind. At least
that is the counteracting story
started by the conservatives.
While all this was going on, Mr.
Roosevelt sat in the White House
laughing, and insisting that he had
not even read the liberal bill and
therefore could not say whether he
approved 1t or not.
His strategy was clear. He was
deliberately trying to avoid taking
sides while the opposing factions
fought it out. Apparently he had no
idea that the conflict would become
so serious.
The matter left Congress some
what confused.
Committee Takes Rest.
Committee hearings on the bill were
adjourned temporarily in the House
for the announced purpose of taking
rest. The real purpose was to
ascertain exactly what in the dickens

Congress to do.

Foot Ball Circumference Cut
About an Inch, Aiding Passer

NEW YORK. March 3l-The cir
cumference of the standard foot ball
will be reduced approximately | inch
or slightly more for the 1884 season.
according to an announcement by the
Rules Committee through its SeCro-
tary William S. Langfo,d. The new
specifications provide for circumfer-
ence of 2lI4 to 2ll2 inches, as against
q to 22la inches.
Though the change is not marked
enough to alter the appearance of the
ball, the tendency toward cigar shape
will be an aid to forward passing. 1t
will give the passer a better grip on
the ball and will tend to increase ac-
curacy and range.

announcement that there was de-
mand for a SKINNER" ball last sea-
