LABOR TERMS

PLAN FAILURE
Convention Adopts Report AS
serting 100000 Still Re-
main Without Jobs

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10. U.D
The resolutions committee of
the American Federation of Labor
declared President Roosevelt's un-
employment program had failed
and challenged the administrator
to get together with labor and in
dustry to restore Jobs"
In spite of the efforts of the
Rooseveltian CWA and FERA, the
committee report said. there are
100000 unemployed in the Uni
ted States.
The convention approved the
committees report after numerous
critical speeches on the NRA had
been made.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10. U.P)-
With the advocates of the tradi-
tional craft union apparently in
firm command, the American Fed
Grafton of Labor convention today
was to consider resolutions shift
ing federation emphasis into the
vertical or industrial type union.
One of two problems dividing the
labor fraternity into armed camps,
the question of how far the feder-
alton will go toward organizing en-
tire industries as single units dur
ing the coming year, will reach
the floor in report from the re-
solutions committee.
The craft union supporters look
ed forward to the contest with re-
newed confidence after their ini-
tial victory on the question yester-
day. After an hour of debate, the
convention voted. 1858 to 9,305 TO
sustain the executive council order,
made in 1888, directing the brewery
workers union to release to their
own craft unions the teamsterS, op-
Grating engineers and firemen en-
ployed in brewery work.
The second test is expected to
be more intense, for John l.. Lewis
and Francis German went to work
Immediately to rally their forces
and win new support for the pro-
posal to organize all employees Of
given industry into a single un-
ion as opposed to separate organ
izationS of the craftsmen in the
industry.
With only three more days re-
manning under the original con-
vention schedule, leaders were anx-
ious to dispose of the controversy
between the horizontal and vertical
type unions, and also to clear the
decks of two other outstanding dis
putes-John L. Lewis proposal to
enlarge the executive council from
II to % members and the schism

sassinations at Marseilles.
Many here believed the peace of
Europe might depend in great
measure on whether foreign coun-
tries had encouraged the Croatian

King Alexander and Louis Barthou.
This view seemed exaggerated.
DiplomatistS here saw JugoSlav-
ian relations with Italy in the next
few weeks as the outstanding fact
or. The countries are unfriendly,
really enemies.
In this connection there entered
the question whether Jugoslavia
would be able to maintain internal
order. Some observers saw war as
the result if it did not.
A danger was seen that Croa-
tians and other disaffected ele-
ments in the JugoSlav kingdom
split into warning factions-Croats,
Slovenes and Macedonians against
Serbs At best they predicted a
series of terroristic incidents that
would keep Europe nervous and

Act Passed By Recent Special
Session Of Legislature Now In
Force Here
GREAT AID TO TAXPAYER
Property Owners Urged To Take
Advantage Of Partial Payment
On Obligations
GREAT AID TO TAXPAYER

Evan T. Hewes, chairman of the
irrigation district board of directors
today issued the following state
ment relative to the payment of
delinquent taxes by district tax
payers
by virtue of a recent act of the
special 1894 session of the legisla.
tlIre of California, it will be pos
Sible to pay delinquent taxes of the
Imperial Irrig. Dist. falling due prior
to this years 193435 assessments, to
1iquidate the same in 10 equal an
nual installments under the provi
sions of this statute. Those delin-
quent taxes may be paid by the pay
mept of one-tenth interest on the
delinquencies from July /, 1884, thus
eliminating penalties and other in
terest items, which would have to
be paid in the ordinary collection
of irrigation district assessment"
Under the provisions of this act,
the 10 year plan may be put into
effect at any time between now and
July /, 1885, by the payment Of the
one e-tenth installment and interest.
However. from and after November
!, 1884, in order to be eligible to pay
the one. tenth installment and take
advantage of the 10 year plan, 1t
will be necessary for the full annual
ipstallment of taxes falling due and
payable in the fall of 1884 and spring
of 1895, to be paid, if the 10 year
plan is to be taken advantage Of"
Therefore, it is highly important
that the assessment payers realize
that if the one tenth inStallment,
with interest, is paid prior to No
vember /, 1884, (or all delinquent
assessments under 10 year plan, with
interest at 7 per cent from July l,
1884 the 10 year plan may be put
into effect without the immediate
payment of the entire assessment
for the year 1884 35. If the 10 year
plan is put into effect prior to No
vember /, 1884, then the first in
stallment of the 193435 taxes may
be paid as usual in the fall of 1884,
and the second installment may be
paid as usual in the spring of 1885.
"It is. therefore, the purpose OF
this notice to make known to the
public that it is to tneir advantage
to investigate and If possible, meet
the first one-tenth installment be-
fore November l OF this year"
