HOOvER-MELLON
FACTION HOLDS
C. 0. P. POWER
Fletcher, Close Friend of Big
Business, Named
Chairman.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
Times Special Writer

CHICAGO, June THE Repub-
lcan national committee was safely
under the thumb today of the
repudiated Hoover Mellon leader
ship and will direct the campaign
against the Roosevelt adminiStra-
ton in the congressional elections
under the same colorS that went
down in 1882.
No amount of concessions to the
Roosevelt economic program-and
the committee went further in
words than was anticipated-can
disguise the fact that Henry P
Fletcher of Pennsylvania, who was
chosen new party chairman here, is
sympathetic with the Andrew W.
Mellon-Big Business-Big Financial
group.
A close friend of Herbert Hoover
and Mr.. Mellon, engineered into the
job by the Notwithstanding tri-
umvirate of the Hoover regime, it
is clear to whom the new chairman
will look for his Instructions Mr..
Fletcher, an amiable gentleman of
81, has had no practical political
experience, but has spent most of
his life in the diplomatic service.
Therefore, he will be expected to
depend upon others for political
guidance.
The national committee, it gen.
orally was conceded today, performed
a remarkable feat of ,straddling in
its so-called platform" which de-
nounced the Roosevelt program in
one breath and in the next urged
Republicans to support social re-
form Observation-Disclosures old age
pensions and unemployment relief
measures-which is part of that
program.
A small group here who had
hoped to see the party reorganized
under progressive, aggressive leader
ship of a new sort were not de-
ceived, though they took their de-
feat like good party men.

LABOR LEADER
CHALLENGED BY
RISING UNREST
Agitation Calls for Aggressive
Executive; Green May
Lose Power.
BIZ United Press

DJ OUtCtU 1TtSS
WASHINGTON, June Con
gressional inaction on social legis-
lation and underestimate move
mentS in the present industrial I'M
rest may combine to provide
powerful challenge to present labor
leadership, it was indicated today.
From congressional sources the
United Press learned that strong
movement to curb the powers of
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor may
be the outcome of the failure of
organized labor to obtain action on
its program from congress this ses-
sion.
Rank-and- agitation for more
aggressive leadership has also been
growing, coincident with substantial
increases in union membership and
widespread strike agitation.
Congressional sponsors of labor
aid bills said that a liberal ele-
ment was planning to suggest to the
next A. F. of L. convention that
Mr.. Green be relieved of his lobby"
powers. Under this plan matters
dealing with congressional labor
legislation would be handled by two
ice-presidents instead of the ex-
ecutive.
This group is aroused over fail
ure to win votes on the thirty hour
work week bill, the old age pen
Sions and unemployment insurance
measures. They also feel that the
Wagner labor disputes bill has been
emasculated.
They charged that federation Of
ficials here were too compromising
in their attitude and failed to speak
straight from the shoulder in seek
ing support for labor legislation.

Third Party Speeded

Dy CHtteU EftSS
WASHINGTON, June THE
movement for a third party COM
posed OF progressive Republicans
was speeded up today as a result
of the selection of Henry P. Fletcher
as national chairman of the regular
Republican organization.
Senator Robert M. La Toilette Jr.,
who is seeking reelection through
a new party organization in Wis
consin, said he believed Mr.. Fetch
er's election would give a "tremen-
dous impetus" to the movement
throughout the nation.

CLERKS SALARY
HOPES RAISED

President Roosevelt's opposi-
ton to further wage reductions
for railroad employees, in the
opinion of Gilbert E. Hyatt, legis-
lative representative of the Ma
tional Federation Of Post Office
Clerks, is most encouraging to
Government workers seeking the
end of the pay cut.
E. Claude Babcock, president Of
the American Federation of Gov
ernment Employees, asserts that
his organization is in complete
sympathy with the railroad
workers and expresses the opin'
ion that the demand for a Is
per cent cut for the railroad
men derived from the IS per cent
cut for Government workers.

that he would urge members Of
the body to go on record indorS-
ing the proposed bill at their
meeting next Friday night.
Mr.. Havenner, who is past pres

Mr.. Havenner's action today
followed that OF many other civic
leaders in Washington, and to-
night a resolution supporting the

RULE.
SEEN BY ROPER

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-Control
over industry Of a type comparable
to that now exercised over public
utilities was foreseen by Secretary
of Commerce Daniel c. Roper in
an address before the Civil Forum
in Town Hall last night, but he
indicated that business itself
would exercise the greater part Of
the control.
He said that for 80 years after
the Civil War there seemed to be
no concept of social responsibility
on the part of business, and that
the antitrust law in 1896 repre-
sented the first crystallization Of
public opinion that something
should be done. Had business rec
ognized social responsibility in the
boom years prior to 1929, he said,
the nation would have Jared bet
ter.
Last year, he said, business lead
ers for the first time acknowledged
that they could not get out of the
crisis without Government aid.
The Government does not contem-
plate eliminating profits in busi-
ness, he said, but more Of the
product of industry must go to
those who create it.

olyy. He said:

Most of those affected are resi-

CLAIM HEALTH,
EFFICIENCY
IMPAIRED
Creation of Many New Bureaus
Causes Serious Congestion
In Many Units
BY DUNCAN FORSYTH

NRA employees, victorious in
their battle to eliminate the
worst features Of overtime work
in that agency, and credited by
their example with having in
Spired elimination of overtime at
the Civil Service Commission and
in certain other establishments
now contemplate a campaign to
end undue congestion in NRA
offices.
Not only do the health and
welfare of employees demand i'm
provement in the conditions that
exist in some NRA offices, but
the efficiency of the employees
would be greatly increased, it is
contended, if their working con-
dttionS were more satisfactory.
Loan Office Crowded
It is not alone NRA that is
concerned with congested quart
ers, since only a short time ago
some employees of the Home Loan
organization who were Tempo
rarily assigned to an eighth floor
loft of the Commerce Building
found ventilation and other fea-
lures of the space assigned them
not up to the mark. The build
ing is crowded, as a result Of
the influx of new employees, and
in many instances it has been
necessary to put some Of the
newcomers at desks in the hall
ways.
Desks Are Too Close
The principal problem at pres
ent, in the opinion of the NRA
workers, is that of the legal di-
vision, where desks are placed so
closely together that employees
hardly can make their way be-
tween them. Members of the
NRA Lodge, A. F.. G. E., say that
one girl employed in the legal
division broke her wrist as a
result Of fall over some tele-
phone wires, an accident they at

RATING REPORT
DUEFOR 1884

Experiments will be conducted
on efficiency ratings during the
coming year, the Civil Service
Commission announced today, for
the purpose of improving their
value, and one vital change in
prospect will be a more detailed
report, so that Government en-
ployes may know in just what
respects they are falling short.
DR.. L. J. O'Rourke advanced
this idea to the council of per-
sonnel administration, which ap-
proved it and submitted it to
the commission. The commission
likewise approves the plan. point
ing out that heretofore only the
rating figure has been given to
employees and that they have
never been given any reason for
lower ratings than they might
expect.
Supervisors will, under the new
plan, analyZe the strong and
weak points OF employees ana en-
able them to improve themselves.
Merely to be told that super
visors are not satisfied tends to
discourage an employe, it is held,
but they can overcome weak
points if they know what they
are.
It is probable that there will
not be many separations from
the service during the coming
year, nor many additions, SO the
time is regarded as propitious
for testing out the new plan.
In general, efforts will be made
to devise more intelligent use of
the ratings. Personnel men in
private industry are cooperating.
