EMPLOYEES LEAVE
IN HOUSE TODAY
Both Bills Are Expected to
Be Passed Without
Opposition.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

House leaders expect that the two
bills restoring the 30-day annual
ieave and 15-day sick leave to Gov
eminent workers will be passed today
under the special rules reported two
weeks ago. They may not, however
come up until late in the day. Chair
man O'Connor of the Rules Com
mittee is privileged TO bring up spe-
cial rules in whatever order he may
determine.
Speaker ByrnS said this morning
that the conference report on judge
ships probably will be the first meas
ure considered by the House. The
annual leave bill then will be taken
up, followed by the sick leave meas
ure. according to O'Connor One
hour of debate is provided in each
rule.
Asks Companion Measures.
Representative Young. Democrat, of
Ohio, who prevented action on the
leave measures last week and who
since said he would not oppose the
measure, expects to get time in op-
position in order to protect his own
position This, he says. is that the
sick leave bill and the annual leave
bill must be passed as companion
measures.
The annual leave bill increases the
vacation period for Government en-
ployes from Is to 80 days, cumulative
TO 100 days at the rate of 2la days a
month The sick leave bill establishes
the standard sick leave of Is days,
cumulative to 100 days at the rate of
IA days a month, but with liberal
provisos which permit an administra-
tive officer. in case of emergency
sickness, to grant sick leave in ad-
vance of its being accumulated.
District Employees Exempt.
Both leave bills specifically exempt
from their provisions District public
school teachers and librarians in the
public schools. The sick leave bill does
not apply to the District Police and
Fire Departments.
Chairman Ramspeck of the House
Civil Service Committee expressed
confidence today that both of these
bills, which he is sponsoring, will pass
the House. Senate leaders have prom
ised prompt action when the bills go
to the Senate in the hope of having
them become law before Congress ad-
journs.

CONF NFEREES AGREE;
DROP CLARK PLAN
Social Security Bill Wins
Approval Without Pri-
vate Pensions.
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

Failing to work out laSt-mlnute
compromise on the Clark private pen
sion amendment. House and Senate
conferees this afternoon decided TO
drop this feature from the national
social security bill.
This brought about a complete
agreement on the far-reaching meas
ure. since the effort of the Senate
group to preserve private retirement
systems has been the only remaining
issue for several weeks.
Although the Clark proposal has
been abandoned as a part of the Sc
curity bill, this action was taken
with the understanding that House
and Senate Committees will be ap-
pointed to try to work out a separate
bill at the next session to meet the
principles involved.
Ratification Necessary.
The action of the conferees must go
back to the House and Senate to be
ratified before the social security bill
can be sent to the President. The
House will approve the report as a
matter of form, but in the Senate a
final battle in behalf of the Clark
amendment is probable unless sup
porters of that proposition are ap-
peased by the promise of the conferees
to study the problem further at the
next session.
Both the House and Senate have
already adopted a preliminary con-
ference report containing an agree
ment on everything else in the Sc
curity program, SO that if the Senate
yields on the Clark amendment, pas
sage of the bill will be completed.
The Clark amendment was intended
to allow the Social Security Board to
exempt an industry from the employee
employer pay roll tax to finance the
Government old-age insurance plan, if
the industry operates a retirement
plan equal to or better than the Gov
ernment system. Supporters of the
amendment have argued that there
are many such private plans, adopted
voluntarily by industries and that
thousands of employees would be in
100 4ofOl obAC POoACAO41 IL IIlCSC pldIlS
were dropped when the Government
plan goes into operation.
Other essential features of the
social security program previously
agreed to include:
Federal grants to the States to
match State payment of old-age pen
sions to persons already IS who are
in need and have had no opportunity
to build up an old-age insurance an
nunity.
A basic plan for unemployment in
surance. designed to induce the States
to adopt such laws, by levying a Fed
eral pay roll tax and then allowing
deduction from the Federal tax of any
similar tax levied by the States up to
90 per cent of the Federal levy.
Federal aid tc the States for. pen
sions to blind persons
Federal AID for a variety of social
welfare functions, including home care
for dependent children, treatment of
crippled children and public health
work generally.
Action on Local Bills.
AS soon as the House and Senate
take final action on the conference
report Chairman King of the Senate
District Committee will ask his COM
mittee to report out the three House
bills necessary to apply the social Sc
curity program to Washington. The
oid-age and blind pension bills are in
shape. Changes are expected, how
ever, in the Ellenbogen unemployment
bill. considered too drastic.

POLL INDICATES
COAL BILL DEFEAT
Doubt of Necessary Demo-
cratic Support Reported
Serious.

BY the Associated Press.
A poll of Democrats on the Guffey
coal bill was reported authoritatively
today to have raised grave doubts as to
whether the measure would pass the
House.
First returns on the poll were dis
crssed just after Representative Lewis,
Democrat, of Maryland, following a
talk with President Roosevelt. pre-
dicted the bill would be reported this
afternoon" by the House Ways and
Means Committee ana would pass the
House.
Two Questions Asked.
The poll of Democrats was being
made on two questions: What the
vote would be if the bill were reported
favorably by the committee, and what
it would be if the committee made
no recommendation.
The actual figures were guarded
closely, but it was said that major
ity of the 3l9 Democrats had indi-
Gated they would vote against the
bill if it lacked full committee ap-
proval
Some leaders were figuring on most
of the Republicans voting against the
bill under any circumstances, and
consequently calculated they must get
most of their support from the Demo-
cratic side.
Remains Deadlocked.
The measure remained deadlocked.
at least temporarily, in the Ways and
Means Committee. with the tentative
count there standing IA to IL against
a favorable report to the House.
Lewis made his forecast to newsmen
after a talk with the President. When
Chairman Doughton of the Ways and
Means Committee learned of it ne
said, There has been no change in
the situation"
We had a committee meeting this
morning and the bill wasn't even
named" he said. If there's a meet
ing this afternoon, don't know any
thing about it."

Election Stiffens Attitude.
In the specific cases of Senators
Gerry, Lonergan and Walsh, the re-
suits of the Rhode Island election on
Tuesday undoubtedly will stiffen their
unfriendly attitude toward the pend
ing bill. Interpreted as an outright
rebuke to New Deal policies in gen.

ularly accurate barometer of the feel

Englanders mentioned.

BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, August 8.-David
Alper was plenty hot today, all be-
cause he tried to keep cool.
He was ready, by his own declara-
ton, to carry to the Supreme Court
his contention that he can ride in
elevators without first donning coat.
The shirtsleeved collector, a 26-
year-old six-footer, was so insistent,
in fact, that he landed in court yes
terday, charged with disorderly con-
duct.
For half hour he had refused to
get out of an elevator at the Fashion
Center Building. in midtown, and the
operator had darkened the car rather
than carry him upward.

Gilbert. elevator starter, I'VE have
rule in our building that men in
shirtSleeves are not permitted to ride
in the passenger elevators"
Gilbert then told Alper where he
could find elevators which carried
+. eight and coatless humans, but AL
per held his ground-held it, that is,
until policeman dragged him forth.
Magistrate Hulon Capshaw with
held his decision until both sides could
submit briefs.
Awaiting his finding were Alper and
other champions of masculine emanci-
patton from fashions dictates in hot

Secretary Wallace simultaneously
announced adequate credit facilities"
would be made available for orderly
marketing Of the crop.
The crop prediction apparently was
larger than some officials had hoped,
but Secretary Wallace said the ad-
ministration saw no cause for anxiety.
He added that if world consump-
ton were maintained at present levels,
foreign and domestic mills could be
expected to require considerably in
excess OF IL ,000. 900 bales of American
cotton.

In addition, he said the stocks OF
cotton helG by the Government.
amounting to approximately 100000
bales, would not be available to pur-
chaSers except at price in excess OF
l3 cents pound, and, therefore, this
cotton would not come in competition
with the new crop until prices reached
that level.
The administration sees no cause
for anxiety in the present crop esti-
mate" Wallace said. There are am
pie resources avails*le to carry the
present stocks financed by the Gov
eminent for an indefinite period"
Wallace said if, whe.- the new crop
began to mo in volume, there ap-
peared a tendency for prices to be
depressed, the administration would
not hesitate to offer ample loans that
would Immediately absorb excess sup
plies
Strong pressure from the South has
been brought for a loan of IL cents
on the 1885 crop.
Twelve-cent loans on the 1884 crop
now total s271,775.525 on 4,454 039
bales. These loans are due February

Condition August l, 1876 Per Cent.
The condition of the crop on August
l was 1876 per cent of normal, indi-
eating a yield of 1888 pounds per
acre, compared with 60.4 per cent
year ago and a yield of 1903 pounds
last year. The 1924-33 average Au-
gust I condition was 68.7 per cent

The acreage in cultivation July l

Cotton Market OFF.
NEW YORK, August 8.-The cotton
futures market declined 10 to 80 cents
a bale today, as trading was resumed
after the reading of the Agriculture
Departments estimate of the crop.
The Government estimate, how
ever, placing the indicated crop at
11,798,000 bales, was only about
$4,000 bales above the average ex-
pectation of the New York Cotton
Exchange members, as revealed by a
recent canvass.
Before the reading of the report,
prices had ruled IS to go cents a
bale higher, but these gains were
quickly lost.
The October delivery experienced

ponentS as a Reputation bill" now

of Senate amendments.
AS approved by the House, the reso-
luton would have shut of gold clause
suits Immediately. The chief change
made by the Senate was TO permit
them for six months.
Debated Less Than Day.
Despite hot attacks on the meas
ure from both sides of the party
aisle. it went through with less than
days debate. Warnings from
critics that it would endanger Gov
ernment credit we're denied by ad-
ministration spokesmen yesterday. The
final ballot came suddenly today with
out a word of debate.
The bill is designed to close up
the last loophole left by the Supreme
Courts gold clause decision. In that
case, the court held that holders of
Government obligations promising to
pay in gold could recover if they could
show they were damaged by payment
in paper currency.
Brought Up by Fletcher.
The legislation was brought up yes
terday by Chairman Fletcher of the
Banking Committee with the state
ment that it was the logical natural,
inevitable consequence" of the Gov
ernment's monetary policies which
Congress had approved.
Senator Adams. Democrat. Of Colo

cd cases the Supreme Court had
held the Government had the right to
change the medium for discharging
private contracts, but mo right to
repudiate its own obligations"
IF this Government" he said.
"once establishes the theory that its
| word is good only when it chooses. it
will destroy not only its own credit,
but. what is more, its integrity"
In reply Senator Norris, Republican,
c Nebraska, said the right of a SOW
ereign power to refuse to be sued was
an established right and that "a man
who lends money to the Government
/ knows there is no way to enforce pay
ment"
From Senator Vandenberg, Repub-
Ii IN, of Michigan, came the assertion
that If We go much further in this
course of constructive reputation, cit
izens will not buy Government Securi-
ties without examining them with a
