STEAGALL BILL
DEADLOCKED

loans-to-industries bill. Senator
Vandenberg's amendment was de-
feated by only a two-vote margin.
Incensed At Rainey
On the House side friends of
the Mcleod bank relief bill are
greatly incensed over failure of
Speaker Henry T. Rainey CD of
Illinois to appoint five House con-
ferees.
CuStomariIy, both chambers are
represented by an equal number of
conferees, but in this instance
the Speaker named only three,
and pointedly omitted Represen-
tatives Aiming S. Prall CD Of
New York and Carroll Beedy (R0
of Maine.
Both congressman have been
active in bringing the Steagall
measure out of committee and in
defending section four which pro-
vides substantial relief for closed
banks through the authorized pur-
chase of 1850 million dollars
worth of frozen securities.
BY leaving the pair out, the
Speaker has paved the way, it is
believed for Representative Henry
B. Steagall CD of Alabama, in
charge of House conferees, to
back water on his promise to Rep.
resentative Clarence j. Mcleod
(R. of Michigan to insist the
Senate accept the bank relief Sec
ton.
Majority Floor Leader Joseph
w. Byrns CD of Tennessee has
already twice exercised the right
given him under the drastic gag
rule passed by the House Friday
by recessing the lower chamber
instead of adjourning Monday
and last nights.
Should he make similar mo-
ton tonight or any other night
this week he would automatically
prevent any chances Of a vote
next Monday on either the Nc
Leod or Frazier-Lemke petitions.

GENEVA, June 6 0.N.S).-A
face-saving formula to prevent
the disarmament conference end.
ing in utter failure was put for
ward today by Louis Barthou,
French foreign minister. He
proposed a three-point program,
which he presented to the bureau.
or steering committee, of the
conference.
Under M. Barthou's plan, these
steps would be taken:
1. A political commission
would be appointed to study
proposed pacts of mutual Sc
curity and guarantees of their
execution.
2. An air committee would
be appointed to take up the
whole question of aviation.
3. A special committee would
be appointed to study the pro-
pOsal advanced by the United
States for control of the manu-
facture and sale of arms.
Pending completion of their
work by these committees, M.
Barthou proposed that the dis
armament conference stand ad-
journed.

After refusing to approve a
District old-age pension bill, the

Senate approval of the old-age
pension measure was prevented
by the lone objection Of Senator

this.

Drives Girl to

CHESTER, Pa.-Another tragedy
from tbs drama now being played
by the Roosevelt-Wall Street gov
eminent has been enacted here to-
day. Dorothy Larantana, a girl
worker, 20 years of age, took poison
and tried to end her life, and now
lies in the Chester Hospital at the
point of death.
Just the night before this tragic
event, she, with her sister, mar
ried woman with a family, called
on the Chairman of Branch No. 3
of the Unemployed Councils and
begged him to write letters of ap-
plication for employment to various
factories, and also to try to get a
food order for the family, as they
we're destitute. When the Chair
man called at her sisters house, he
learned that she had taken poison
and lay at the point of death in
Chester HGNital.
Comrades-fellow workers, wake
up You have the right-you have
the power to end all misery by or
ganizing and combating this vicious
system of exploitation and greed.
You have the courage, use it!

SUMMER HYGIENE
Continued
Clothing

AS a general rule, it is advantage
GUS to wear outer garments that
are light in color rather than those
made of dark-colored material. This
is because black absorbs more heat
than white. White or cream color
mems suits and women's dresses. as
well as Widely-cut garments, reflect
most of the sunshine and, therefore,
have a tendency to keep the heat
out of the body.
The question of underwear, in the
summer time, is an important one.
There is tendency, particularly
among young people, to go without
underwear. This is an error; first,
because the lack of underwear does
not really promote GOODNESS; Sec
ondly, because the lack of some ma
terial to absorb the perspiration
from the skin exposes the individual
to sudden chilling of the body,
which may bring about serious
condition We have known many
of those "no-underwear heroes" and
"heroines" to suffer from permanent
shifting and colds in the head
throughout the entire summer. In
quite number of cases, this con-
dition has become the foundation
on which chronic nose-infections
and sinus trouble have developed
1t is not entirely uncommon tc
come across number of pneumonia
cases, in the middle of summer, al
most invariably occurring among
those who despise the wearing OF
underwear.
When choosing summer under.
wear, as we'll as outer garments, one
must bear in mind how much they
will influence the loss of heat from
the skin and to what extent they
will affect the rate of evaporation
of sweat. These two factors de-
pend upon the nature of the ma
terial and upon the method Of
manufacture of the fabric. All ma.
terials used for clothing purposes
are made either from vegetable
fibers, such as cotton and linen, o.
from animal fibers, such as WOO
and silk; some fabrics being made
from combination of both.
Animal fibers such as wool havt
the advantage of being lesser con
ductors of heat and more hygro
scopic q. e., they have a create
capacity for absorbing water vapor)
Wooden fabrics, therefore, will pro

METAL STRIKE WON BY
MILITANT LEADERSHIP
Most of Workers Demands Granted Because of
Firm Tactics of S. NJ. ". |. U.

We all went own except for a
nephew and a brother that remained
upstairs, also a cutter (who was al
ways a scab) We started to picket
Immediately and our ranks were
solid.
The boss started to maneuver by
telling us that he wants to settle
with the committee but he doesn't
want to have our organizer at the
settlement. We told him, however,
that if he wants to settle, then LEI
him call up the organizer, ans to-
gether with the committee we'll go
up. Seeing that this maneuver was
a failure he called up our organizer
this morning MAY 15th) and we
started to discuss the demands. He
gave to each member of the COM
nlittee a typewriter sheet of what
he consents to and what he rejects.
Well, the three-day strike made
him compromise on everything. The
skilled man for whom we demanded
a 10 per cent increase he offered 5
per cent but gave in and agreed on
the 10 per cent. Young, unskilled
workers he offered a 10 per cent in
crease whereas our demands calls
for 20 per cent and we settled for
10 per cent. Here's where our or
ganizer and the committee failed to
fight strong enough for the 20 per
cent demand. Our demand failed
to understand why our boss opposed
this demand vigorously. This, I I'M
derstand, was maneuver on the
part of the boss to break up the
unity between the young and the
old workers. AS to the young work
ers for whom we put out special de-
mands, they got just half our de-
nandS, increases from 50 to $3.50,
and needle workers got 10 per cent
5 per cent raise, and the 5 per cent
wage cut back.
However, it was great victory for
both the union and the workers.
The union can go ahead and tell the
workers of other shops-"Go ahead.

wage increases, and your jobs will be
