Meanwhile, there was a dispute about
the number of skilled building trades
workers who had walked out at New
York. Government officials set the
total at l,l37; union leaders, $500.

Not Considered Strike.
Declaring he did not consider the
Job refusalS a strike, President Roose-
welt said it was a return to homes by
those offered jobs. He hoped, he said,
the workers would return from homes
to jobs.
The wages, he contended, were the
best that could be paid ard were in
tended to replace the dole which he
called bad for morale. The works
jobs, he said, are intended to be tenn
porary until private business can take
up the slack.
Using language almost identical to
that employed by Hopkins Thursday,
the President said at his press con-
ference that he had not heard of any
reports that he intended to raise wages
for skilled workmen in metropolitan
areas. He apparently referred to P.

from the $19-to-s94 monthly scale.

While numerous meetings were in

Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, works progress

LABOR DIVIDED
ON SECURITY PAY
Berry Backs Johnson, While
Williams BIameS Strike
on "NeW Deal"
By th5 Associated Press.

By ths Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., August TO-
Divided sentiment among American
Federation of Labor leaders cropped
out today on the security wage issue.
Maj. George L. Berry, federation
vice president and one of President
Roosevelt's principal labor advisers,
backed Hugh S. Johnson, works prog
ress administrator for New York, in
his stand on the strike of skilled
craftsmen against the security wage of
1880 for 100 hours work month.
Il regard the appeal of Gen. John
son as not only timely but sound in all
Of its aspects" Berry told reporters.
Il have confidence in the building
trades workers ability to realize the
importance of maintaining at this
time the greatest possible degree of
tranquility"
Brain Trust" Blamed.
On the other hand. J. W. Williams,
president of the federation building
trades department recognized by Will
liam Green (the building trades
unions are split into two groups, each
claiming to make up the legal" de-
partmenD, blamed the brain trust"
for the New York strike.
The President has not had enough
practical advice" Williams said.
He reiterated the position of the
federation when it fought last Winter
for the McCarran prevailing local
wage" amendment to the $4,000 900, 900
relief bill. Labor was willing to ac-
cept the relief wage by the month, he
said. but unwilling to take the secur-
fly wage by the hour. Acceptance,
Williams said, inevitably would drive
down wages in private construction,
despite Johnson'S assurances to the
contrary.
Green Is Silent.
Green maintained a "hands-off"
policy. His advice had not been asked
in Washington. he said.
The federation's Executive Council
took holiday today from its task of
hearing numerous jurisdictional dis
putes and preparing its annual report
to the A. F. of L. general convention
here in October.
Green was to send to Secretary
Perkins of the Labor Department the
councils request for speedy appoint
ment of the new National Labor Re-
lations Board, to administer the
Wagner labor dispute act
Numerous complains that union
men were being Disseminated against
had been received by the federation,
Green said.
Mr.. Roosevelt signed the act about
six weeks ago, but Miss Perkins efforts
to enlist a three-man board suitable
to the administration so far has
been fruitless. The act would out
law the company dominated union
and guarantee labor's right to bar
gain collectively.

Call of Special Election to Choose

COLUMBUS. Ohio, August 10. [P.
Ohio Democratic circles mourned
today the death of outSpoken Repre-
sentative at Large Charles V. Truax,
and considered whether to call a spe-
cial election to select a successor.
In the little town Of Sycamore,
near Bucyrus, Mrs. Truax awaited
the arrival of his body, probably
tomorrow from Washington.
Gov. Davey indicated that excessive
cost for a special election may result
in postponing. until the regular No.
vember election in 1886, the task Of
filling the vacancy.
"My first impulse is not to call
special election, but, wouldn't want
to say now that I will not call one,"
Dewey said. He planned to consult
with Democratic leaders. A special
election to nominate candidates, would
cost between $500,000 and 100000,
George F. Neffner, the States elec-

BISHOP DEMANDS
NEW LEADERSHIP
Even Wisest of Statesmen
Are Failing, G. w. Grad
yates Told.

A new type OF leadership for the rap
idly changing world was demanded
last night by Bishop James z. Free
man, who delivered the baccslaureate
sermon to $50 graduates of George
Washington University in the Great
Choir OF the Washington Cathedral.
I'm our land and in every part OF
the world" the bishop said, the sit
uation Ia causing deep apprehension.
Even the wisest OF statesmen are fall
ing. Earnest and learned men are
seeking the solution, but for Ave years
we have fingered in the mists and
there is little light At this hour. The
world IL chaotic. We see new systems
OF government and untried economic,
social and educational policies. Every
thing is in fiux"
The situation, he said, demands an
open mind upon all the changes in
volyed. Nothing can remain as It
has been. An entirely new set Of
conditions in this world Of ours has
come"
Bishop Freeman advised the young
graduates not TO become appalled, by
the situation they are about to face
but rather TO look upon it as an
enticing situation"
Every period Of human history
marked by distinct advancement in
human thinking and progress of the
race has been characterized by situa-
tions that tested men and women to
the utmost Of their capacities. 1t Is
some great, compelling cause that
seizing the imagination Of q genera
ton. generates 4 new set of ideas and
sends the whole race on its way"
The very situation. he continued,
which has been created by the recent
N. r. A. decision Of the Supreme Court
ought to develop men with greater
clarity of vision Ito extricate US from
conditions that are intolerable"
Bishop Freeman also declared that
there are three challenging situations
that face the young college graduate
and offer them an opportunity for
service. These are the cause Of world
peace. the cause Of equity and justice
in industrial and economic life, and
moral reformation.
All OF these the bishop dared" the
graduates TO disregard "at your peril.

may, with the rest of the agricultural
adjustment program. be affected by
the Supreme Courts NJ r. A. decision,
it Is feared by some officials.
A. A. A. officials, however. refused
to comment, saying that no prediction
of any kind could be made until after
the first 1885 cotton crop estimate in
August.
Some A. A. A. experts said privately
that in view of the expressed decision
OF the Supreme Court on the Bank
head cotton control law In the Fall
and the uncertain course OF action
now facing the entire farm program.
there might be some hesitancy In
granting a new loan.
The 12-cent loans on the 1884 crop.
due to expire July !. recently were
extended until February /. 1896.
A. A. A. records showed that 10 and
- cent loans. for 1893 and 1884, on
approximately 100000 bales in the
cotton pool totaled more than S47,-
SOC. 900.
The 10 and II cent loans on cotton
outside the pool, a total of 4,387 $40
bales. were said to aggregate $751;
686. .7e7.
Oficials said that of the total loans.
the Government actually advanced
only s33.171 600 in cash. The re-
mainder Of the loans was handled by
banks. with the paper guaranteed by
the Government.
Extension OF the cotton loan was
one of the problems believed under
consideration by administration farm
officials as they drafted amendments
designed TO strengthen the entire farm
program against constitutional chal-
lenge. These were scheduled for COM
pletion by today or tomorrow.
No definite word could be obtained
concerning content OF the changes.
However, it was believed that the
amendments would include marketing
agreements. but would eliminate the
controversial licensing provisions OF
the A. A. A. Some form Of Federal
rules and regulations, such as those
utilized by the Federal Trade Com
mission or the Interstate Commerce
Commission. probably would be sub
stituted for the licensing provisions.

FOR ENJOYS HERE

Reciprocity Plan Is
Abandoned.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Treasury and State Depart
ments have taken to Congress their
differences over whether employees In
embassies. consulates and legations OF
foreign nations should pay income
taxes.
Representative Samuel B. Hill Of
Washington. ranking Democrat on the
House Ways and Means Committee.
indicated today that the question
would be resolved In favor Of the
State Department. In other words. he
forecast that diplomats and their en-
ployes would be declared exempt from
American income taxes.
For years diplomats had been
exempt, since most Of them paid taxes
to their own governments. In return
American representatives In foreign
countries had been granted similar
exemptions by other nations.
No Specific Allowance.
But in its drive for more strict en-
forcement of tax laws the Treasury
found there was no specific exemption
OF foreign diplomats. So on August 7.
1884. It made a ruling that foreign
diplomats must pay American income
taxes.
There was quick reaction from the
State Department. Secretary Hull
protested to Secretary Morgentbau.
Letters were exchanged and confer
ences held. Finally Morgenthau agreed
to delay enforcement until Hull hao
time to get Congress to change the
law.
This session Hull took the question
up with Chairman McReynolds, Demo-
crat. Of Tennessee, Of the House For
Affairs Committee. McReynolds' COM
mittee, however. has no jurisdiction
over taxes, 50 he had to refer The
matter to the House WAYS and Means
Committee.
u. 8. Would Lose Money.
A bill was drafted and introduced
by Chairman DoughtOn, Democrat, OF
North Carolina. of that committee. In
his study of the situation Doughton
has found this:
Under the present system an Amer
lean consul in London with an income
of $4,000 a year pays SPAS to the
United States Treasury. IT, however.
the reciprocity exemption were aban-
doned, he would have to pay the
British rate. which would amount 10
S1.ls5.3l. Great Britain would get
slls531 and the United States would
lose S24s
Since the United States has more
diplomatic and consular agents sta
toned around the world than foreign
nations have sent to the United
States, and since the average salary
of the American Is higher than that
OF the others. the actuaries calculate
the Anal result would be q financial
loss TO the United States.
