Before Continental Con.

Immediate redistribution Of wealth
vas demanded by speakers appearing
before the Committee Of Correspond
ence and Action of the Continental
Congress.
Sessions Of the committee, held in

told luncheon gathering in the hotel
that concentrated wealth must be re-
distributed If civilization is to en-
dure," adding "it must be done either
peaceably or by violence
His remarks were echoed by Ben
jamin C. Marsh. executive secretary
OF the Peoples Lobby. and Colston E.
Warne. economics professor Of Am
herst College.
Attacks "New Deal"
The whole purpose OF the world
old new deal is to protect property
holders. big and little, and to skin
the producers. Marsh said ANY
person with the brains. not Of Har-
ward or Columbia graduates, but of
ordinary common sense, knew q year
ago that the only way to increase the
consuming power of the American
people was to redistribute the national
income promptly through taxation, to
squeeze about $3.50 900, 900 900 of water
out Of the capitalization Of corpora
tiOns, transfer taxes from buildings
and other products Of labor to land
values. and so cut down prices of land
about two-thirds, cut debt and inter-
est rates at least third, and have
the Government take over natural re-
sources and natural monopolies, pay
ing the owners only for values they
have created"
Flogged Felons With Feather.
Marsh said the President has fog
ged the felons of Wall Street with a
feather, but left them doing business
at the old stand"
Warne predicted eve will soon be
disillusioned." He expressed the
opinion the only hope of the Amer
ican people is that I'VE will learn by
costly experiences that there is no
way out of our economic dilemma save
that Of complete thorough going abo-
litiOn Of property rights in basic in
dustry and the establishment of a
system. socialistic in character. SINH

The committee will conclude its Ses-
SiOnS tomorrow afternoon with an ad-

AID BILL
PASSED BY
SENATE
M'Leod Victory Acclaimed in
SteagaII Amendment to
Help Depositors

Victory for the Mcleod forces
was signaled today when the
Senate adopted the conference
report on the deposit insurance
bill, carrying the Steagall bank
depoSitors' relief amendment.
The action came Immediately
after the Senate convened and
completes congressional consid-
GRAFTON of the measure, and the
bill now goes to the President.
Started by Mcleod
This legislation climaxes a
battle which was started in the
House some months ago by Rep
resentative Clarence Mcleod (RO,
Michigan, to obtain relief for
depositors in closed banks.
Under the bill passed today,
the r. F.. C. is authorized to
make loans to receivers of closed
banks, or purchase these assets
valued on a basis "in anticipa-
ton of an orderly liquidation
over a period of years."
1t was the desire of the Mich
igan Representative to secure
enactment of legislation which
would have some Government
agency purchase the assets of the
closed banks throughout the
country and pay off the depositors
on a 100 per cent basis,
Fight Was Bitter
So intense was the controversy
which arose over the original Nc
Leod proposal that House leaders
took advantage of virtually every
possible, parliamentary maneuver
to prevent a direct vote on
this iSuSe. 49, -
Representative Mcleod con-
tinued his campaign until the
House Banking and Currency
Committee held hearing on the
measure, but after that commit
tee refused to report his bill out,
a petition discharging the COM
mittee was signed by a sufficient
number.
Committee Hand FORCED
House leaders, however, STAYED
off this attempt by fostering a
movement to prevent considering
any measures except those
brought up at the instance of
the Rules Committee. The lead
ership was successful in this.
Nevertheless, the Bank and
Currency Committee, seeking to
check support for the Mcleod
plan, adopted the Steagall bank
relief provision as an amendment
to the deposit insurance bill.
This amendment was agreed to
in conference and the House
accepted it yesterday as did the
Senate today.

FARLEY HELD.
BY RESIDENT
ON STEEL
Johnson, Wagner, RiChberg in
Silent Attitude of Gloom;
Unions Firm for Strike


President Roosevelt is contem-
plating an eleventh-hour move to
prevent the threatened steel strike,
it was indicated today by Recov-
cry Administrator Hugh S. john
son, following a conference be-
tween himself, President Roosevelt
and Recovery Counsel Donald
Richberg.
General johnson intimated that
Mr.. Roosevelt was considering fur
ther legislation to accompany or
be included in the pending Wag-
ner labor bill, but he refused to
comment further except to say
that he and Mr.. Richberg ex-
pected to be called back to the
White House later today.
The Recovery Administrator
said he still was willing to 60 to
Pittsburgh on Thursday to appear
before the strike convention" but
that he was uncertain if the trip
would be necessary.
Plans in Dark
He inferred that action now
contemplated by the President
would make it unnecessary for
recovery officials to visit Pitts
burgh, or New York, where the
Iron and Steel Institute will hold
it's regular monthly meeting
simultaneously with the Pitts
burgh convention.
President Roosevelt's plans
were not divulged. General
johnson said, however, that the
program under consideration by
Mr.. Roosevelt did not include
suggestions from the workers for
the simple reason that the work
ers neglected to offer any, even
after they were invited to do so.
Until within the past "a hours,
White House officials had said
the strike was not in the Pres
ident's hands. After a week of
such declarations. however, the
President suddenly called into
conference those Administration
officials directly concerned with
labor troubles.
Wagner Consulted
These included Senator Wag-
ner and a representative of Sec
rotary of Labor Perkins.
On Thursday representatives of
the Amalgamated Association of
Iron, Steel and Tin Workers
locals meet to vote for peace or
a strike.
Administration officials fear
their efforts might be in vain,
mainly because a considerable
number of the delegates attend
ing the Pittsburgh meeting will
carry instructions from their
locals to vote for strike unless
the steel employers are forced
to abide by the collective bar
gaining provision of the recovery
act as interpreted by the mem
bers.
In spite of all these cloudy
skies, there are some who per-
