One high-ranking administration
official was said to have remarked
that If the States were given COM

might set up standards that would

NEW SECURITY BILL
ASKS j. S. FUNDS
Senator Lewis Offers Sub
stitute Pensions and Job
Insurance Measure.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
A bill to provide that old-age pen
sions and unemployment insurance be
financed out Of the Federal Treasury
was offered today by Senator Lewis,
Democrat, of Illinois, as a substitute
for the administration social security
measure
In q statement Senator Lewis said
the substitute lays down the principle
that the Government should provide
for the citizens solely out of the Fed
eral funds; that the Government shall
treat the United States citizens as
citizens of the United States and leave
the State funds for State pensions
wholly to the State treasury"
Lewis hoped to work out complete
new substitute with President Roose-
welt for the Wagner-Lewis bill now
being considered by the House Ways
and Means Committee
Perturbed by Changes.
Coincident with President Roose-
velt's return to Washington, reports
reached Capitol Hill that some
of his advisers were perturbed over
changes already made in the social
security bill
Because of this, some members of
the House Ways and Means Commit
tee expressed doubt as to what the
Presidents attitude would be when the
amended bill is presented to him.
The committee called on the Presi-
dent shortly after the bill was sent to
Congress by the Cabinet Committee on
Economic Security. Members told him
some of the contemplated changes
He was said to have told them to go
ahead. reporting back to him when
they had finished.
Measure Is Rewritten.
Today, the committee was virtually
through amending the bill with its
provisions for old-age pensions and
annuities, job insurance and aid to
mothers and dependent and crippled
children. But in five and half weeks
of work. it had almost rewritten the
measure.
The primary objective was to give
the States greater control over the
various plans than had been contem-
plated In the original bill. 1t was that

President Reports Loss of Blu,
Asking Congress for Duplicate

President Roosevelt has had all
sorts of annoyances since becoming
President, but today he was forced to
notify Congress that a bill sent to
him for his signature had been lost.
and he wants Congress to send a
duplicate.
While the President sent the mes
sage under his name, it was the In
terror Department which lost the bill.
In a brief message to Congress on the
subject, Mr.. Roosevelt made known
this fact by quoting letter from the
Secretary of the Interior advising him
of the loss.
Fortunately. the bill was not highly
important. But, according to some of
the oldest authorities of the White
House, this is only the second time
in the memory of any one that such
thing has happened. No one re-
called what President was responsible
for the first offense
The Presidents message follows:
ITO the House of Representatives:
"I am in receipt of the following
letter from the Secretary of the Inte-
rior advising me of the loss of en-
rolled bill H. r. 6084, authorizing
bond issue for the town Of Ketchikan,

PHILADELPHIA, May l5.-A
sweeping beneficial effect for the en-

eral Judge George A. Welsh in the
indictment of IL builders, contractors
and supervisory employees for alleged
"kickback" practices in paying work.
ers on public works administration
projects.
After a six-month investigation, a
Federal grand jury turned in the in
dictments late yesterday with accusa-
tions of 'inhuman exploitation of
labor"
Praising the jurors, Judge Welsh
told them they had rendered "as
great a public service as any grand
jury in the history Of the United
States"
Pay Return Charged.
The grand jury reported that in
many cases workers on the high speed
line extension over the Delaware
River Bridge and the new Naval Hos
pital in Philadelphia had to return
part of their pay to contractors to
keep their jobs, while other skilled
workers we're paid in lower classififica-

in supervisory capacities, Perry J,

contractor at the Naval Hospital,
and Leroy A. Hilsey, his superin-
tendent.

The report sharply criticized P. w. A.
supervisors and inspectors for laxity.
The indictments were founded on
the testimony of scores of mechanics
and laborers, who told the jury they
were chiseled out of a considerable
part of their wages by "kickbacks.
The indictments are based on al
legged violations of the Federal anti
kickback law of June l3. 1884. If con-
victed the men could be fined from

no record of the receipt Of this bill
by the recording clerk. In fact,
thorough search of the entire de-

failed to discover the bill, and no one
has any recollection of having handled
it. I have caused every one to search
all papers in and on their desks, but
without result.
II am chagrined to have to re-
port the loss of this bill, in spite Of
the care with which enrolled bills
are handled within the department.
I recommend that you ask the Con-
gress to authorize the preparation of
a duplicate. The last approval day
is tomorrow, May Is.
In the circumstances, recommend
that a duplicate bill be authorized by

REVIVED
ON WAGNER BILL
IndustriaIists and Labor
Forces Arrayed in Sen.
ate Outbreak.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
Surprising everybody by its burst OF
speed, the Senate raced today straight
into one of the warmest of current
controversies-the one surrounding
the Wagner labor relations bill.
Arrayed for the bill are labor lead
ers, including the American Fedora
tion of Labor; against it are many in
dustrialistS.
Offered by Senator Wagner, Demo-
crat, of New York, it is now the Sen
ate's pending business. Wagner. a
New Dealer who has been an adviser
to the administration on social prob
lens, has hoped to get White House
support for the bill. What success he
has met has not been announced.
Claims of Backers.
The bills hackers say it would bull
work the collective bargaining pro-
visions Of the recovery act, and out
law "company-dominate unions.
They hoped the speed signal raised
in the Senate yesterday would mean
quick passage Hitting Its fastest pace
of the session, the chamber rejected
the Long resolution for an investiga-
ton of Postmaster General Farley,
62 to 20; passed the Norris bill to
strengthen the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority act. and passed the bill ex-
tending the life of N. r. A. for 10
months, with sharply curtailed au-
thority.
1t was a highly gratifying accom-
plishment in the eyes of Democratic
leaders, who counted only three more
major bills on the Roosevelt preferred
list before an adjournment for the
Summer. These three are the utility
holding company, social security and
omnibus banking bills.
Senator Wagner was ready today to
fire the opening salvo for his measure,
which was side-tracked last session.
Provisions OF Measure.
Briefly the bill would:
Establish a permanent National
Labor Relations Board, quasi
judicial body with powers to order
elections to determine collective bar
gaining representatives. Any orders
promulgated by 1t after an election
would be renewable in court.
Lay down five unfair labor practices
making it illegal for employers to:
/. Interfere with, restrain, or coerce
employees, in the exercise of collective
through representatives of
their own choosing.
2. Dominate or interfere with the
formation or administration OF any
labor organization or contribute finan-
cial aid or other support to it.
8. Encourage or discourage member
ship in any labor organization by dis
4. Discriminate against an employe
for filing charges or giving testimony

S. Refuse to bargain collectively with
of their employees.

their sympathy and asked her not to

In usual procedure, the case would
have gone to the grand jury from

CURLEY REMOVAL
BY FORCE ASKED
Foes of Utilities Urge Roose.
Welt to Declare Govern
or's Office Vacant.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, May 15.-Removal from
Office of Gov. James M. Curley by the
armed forces of the United States
and the vacating of that Office on
constitutional grounds were asked to-
day by two foes Of the public utilities.
Frank H. Sullivan of Waban, who
has fought the utilities in several rate
cases, asked President Roosevelt to
remove Curley by use of the country's
armed forces.
He attributed the continued failure
of the State to receive $500, 600 900 in
Federal funds to the belief of the
President that Gov. Curley was not
properly sworn into Office.
Wycliffe c. Marshall, Boston rate
attorney, on the other hand, took
Attorney General Paul A. Dever to
task for alleged failure to answer
letters complaining that Curley was
not properly sworn In as governor
Marshall argued .Curley's inaugural
was unconstitutional because the State
Senate was not present when he was
sworn in. He, too, termed the present
State administration a defacto gov
ernment.
