Veterans Back Plan
 To Cancel Interest
Resolution Adopted at Second District Legion Meeting
 in WalngfOrd Last Night

As expected the delegates to the Second District meeting of the Connecticut Department, American Legion, voted last evening to en- dorse the resolution of Derby le- gionnaires calling upon the gov ernment to cancel the interest due on bonus loans. Veterans who borrowed on their adjusted com pensation now claim that in view of their inability to obtain employ ment they will be unable to meet their obligations. As time passes and the interest accumulates there is little doubt but what the prin- cipal will dwindle to very small sum in every borrowers case.
 The resolution endorsed by the Second district will be proposed for action at the next state convention which will be held in Stamford.

There is no intention Of discharg-

raised as to what good restoration Of

available.
If the bill fails through a presi-
Dental veto the veterans. both OF

benefits which would be restored
under either the House or Senate
amendments. 1t was asserted that 1t
was the lobby conducted by vet
erans' organizations, which forced
the inclusion of very substantial
restoration of benefits to veterans, and
that through stubborn insistence, they
have prevented a reasonable" resto-
ration of benefits.
AS the measure stands, the House
has provided S209 900, 600 for Gov
ernment workers and veterans. while
the Senate has tackled on additions
that raise this to 1907 100000.
Even should the House stand by the
lower figures and the Senate concur,

which, OF course, would mean an in
crease of % per cent in the pay of
railroad employees, effective July /,
1884.
Please be referred to the following
paragraph contained in the letter Of
the President of the United States
addressed jointly to your association
and to our committee yesterday:
1T is a profound disappointment
to learn that no progress toward an
agreement has been made at the con-
ference fear that sight is being lost
of the most important factor of all,
the good Of the country. If no agree
ment is reached, and in default of
arbitration. it may be necessary for
me, with due regard to the protection
OF the general public interest, to ap-
point commission to examine thor
oughly into the labor controversy,
covering all classes of railroad en-
ployment, in order that the country
may be advised of the merits. For
the reasons stated in my communica-
tion Of February IA. believe that
conditions are not yet ripe for a wise
settlement of these issues, and that
the active prosecution Of the contro-
versy at the present time would have
most disturbing and unfortunate
influence. Nor would postponement
be in general unfair to the employees.
I'm response to this letter we have
offered to withdraw our notice of IS
per cent reduction in basic rates Of
pay. The reiterated reference in your
letter to your request for a 10 per cent
increase in basic rates Of pay Is. in
our opinion. out Of place and we ad-
wise you that we do not recognize 1t as
being before us"

There also was a spirited clash be-

Connely said the pay cut takes
away buying power of Government
employees in every community through
out the land. He and other members
emphasized 1t is not in harmony with
the recovery program and appeals by
the President to private industry to
employ more men and pay higher
wages
Representative Taber, Republican, Of
New York, author Of the compromise
amendment approved by the House
for veterans benefits, declared 1T is
time for the House to assert its dig

when the House votes something it
means what it says. We should force

submitted to them
Before the House voted, there had
been some talk that the Appropria-
tions Committee would bring in

called attention to the possibility that

INDUSTRY DEFENDS
STEEL PROVISIONS
Price-Fixing System Basis
of Success, Says Reply
to Trade Body.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 22.-The Amer
ican Iron e. Steel Institute in a state
ment last night defended the price
fixing provisions in the steel code "as
the system under which the industry
has been built up in this country"
In an answer to a report made to
the United States Senate by the Fed
eral Trade Commission charging that
the code had given full power over
the industry to the larger COM
panies. the institute said:
whether or not the system Of quot
ing prices adopted in the code con-
forms to certain theories Of economics,
it is the system under which the in
dustry has been built up in this
country.
Fair Competition.
"It is the only system by which
conditions of fair competition among
members of the industry and among
the users of steel products can be
established and maintained. The use
by the industry Of any other system
of quoting prices would result in grave
dislocations Of producing activities and
of relations between producers and
purchasers of steel products. 1t would
increase rather than decrease unem-
ployment and would defeat rather
than accomplish the purpose of the
national industrial recovery act.
The steel industry believes that il
is particularly to be regretted that a
Government body clothed with judi
cial or semi-judicial powers should
make any report or recommendation
which admittedly is based upon az
incomplete investigation.
The institute in its statement de-
clared it believed all the matters
criticized by the Trade Commission
could be satisfactorily explained and
that "the explanations will show that
the provisions Of the code are entire
ly legal, and that they are designed
to promote the purposes sought to be
accomplished by the national indus
trial recovery act"
Provisions Not Understood.
It also said the Federal report
showed many of the provisions OF
the code had not been understood by
those who made the investigation or
had not been correctly applied.
In this connection the institute
says the Federal report indicates
that under the code the voting power
of the two largest interests in the
industry is approximately SO per
cent of the voting power. basing this
figure on the percentage of total
ingot capacity controlled by such in
terests.

Loree Monthly Payment
Plan Dropped-Engineers'
Unit Recognized.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ALBANY. N. Y, March 22.-The
Delaware g. Hudson Railroad and its
train and engine men today settled a
wage dispute, ending the danger Of a
strike of the 1900 members of the
Big -Four Brotherhoods. The strike
called for March was delayed when
President Roosevelt interyened. 1t
then was postponed to June 6.
The President appointed a three
man commission which succeeded in
effecting a settlement For the past
three days the Roosevelt representa-
tives have conducted separate and
private conferences with the road off,
cials and spokesmen for the engineers,
flremen, trainmen and conductors.
Personnel Of Probers.
Mr. Roosevelt's representatives were
Chief Judge Walter p. Stacey of the
North Carolina Supreme Court, Rear
Admiral Henry A. Wiley, U. S. N, re-
tired, and DR.. Walton Hamilton, pro-
fessor Of constitutional law at Yale
University.
Judge Stacy announced the workers
and their employers had adjusted two
main points Of dispute, the abandon
ment OF the Loree monthly payment
plan and recognition Of the Brother
hood Of Engineers.
Public hearings continued on minor
points OF argument including a large
number Of personal grievances.
The agreement reached today be-
comes effective on April /.
Overtime Loss Criticized.
The Loree plan of paying train and
engine men has been a source of irri-
tation among the brotherhoods for
more than a year. 1t replaced the
more common method, in vogue on
most roads, Of paying the men on a
mileage or hourly basis. The Loree
plan gave each man who worked more
than hours in a month minimum
pay check for 240 hours. 1t did not
provide for extra pay for overtime
and, the workers contended, enabled
the road to keep the men on runs
more than l6 hours, in violation of
the railway law
The D. d. H. claimed the Loree plan
stabilized the incomes Of its workers,
particularly the men with the least
seniority. This year. when the rail-
road refused to abandon the project.
the Big Four" unions took a strike
vote.
The national officials Of the engi-
neers became persona non grata with
the Delaware & Hudson after they
refused to accept the Loree plan in
1882. Thereafter all questions of
wages and working conditions were
taken up directly with each engineer.
