ARCHITECT DIES
WHILE IN TAX|CAb
Thomas A. MuIIett Was De-
signer of Many Build
ingS Here.

Thomas A. Mullett, son Of the archi-
tect who designed the State, War and
Navy Building, died suddenly late
yesterday in a taxicab en- route from
his ONCE to his home at Ills Eight
eenth street.
Mr. Mullett. prominent architect

Mullett was engaged in the construc-
ton of the new Remington-Rand
Building at Thirteenth and r streets
He had practiced architecture under
the firm name of A. B. Mullett g. Co.
His father, Alfred Built Mullett. an
Englishman of the old school. had
taught his son architecture by making
him serve an apprenticeship under
him. He did not believe in college
education and insisted that his son
learn the profession through practical
experience.
That the son succeeded well is evi-
denced by his work. He was the
architect Of Visitation Monastery at
Alta Vista, Md, the Capitol Park
Hotel, the Union Trust Co. Annex
and numerous other buildings here
and in Charles Town, w. Va.
His father was the campaign man
ager for James G. Blaine in the 1884

and later on his own, for q half cen
tury. He was q member of the
Washington Board of Trade and

mittee.
He was q member also of the Amer
ican Institute of Architects.

LACK0PENSF|CHT
FOR 3O-HOUR WEEK
Brookings Experts Dispute
Benefits Claimed by
Alabama Senator.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The fight over a compulsory 30
hour week opened officially today
with Senator Black, Democrat, Of
Alabama. offering such a measure
and two technicians of Brookings In
stitution assailing the idea.
With the support Of the American
Federation of Labor behind him and
opposition by high officials of the
administration in front, Black con-
tended a new bill he had drafted would
put millions to work and create the
purchasing power necessary to enable
business to stand the change.
An assertion that a 30-hour-week
law would be bad for labor, industry
and farmers was made in a statement
by Harold G. Moulton, president Of
Brookings Institution. and Maurice
Leven, technician.
Black said his bill would permit few
employers of labor to escape its pro-
visions Except agriculture. all busi-
ness that engages in interstate COM
merce deals with the Government
or operates under codes would be for
hidden to work employees more than
six hours a day or more than five
days a week.
Exceptions Provided.
The only exceptions would be exec
utives or their immediate personnel
and those whom the Secretary Of
Labor deemed necessary to exempt.
While many business leaders have
voiced protests at the idea, Black
contended it would not harm industry
Business can stand anything that
givets it purchasers with money" he
said. Too much of the proceeds from
industry is now going for rent, in
terest and profit; too little to wages"
He did not predict how much sup
port his bill would gain. but pointed
out the Senate voted about 2 to l
for a similar measure two years ago
and said he knew Of no loss Of votes
since. That bill was blocked in the
House when the national recovery act
was passed.
A major feature Of the new bill is
a prohibition against employers cut
ting wages until employees have had
opportunity for collective bargaining.
Arguments Of Opponents.
The analysis Of such legislation by
Moulton and Leven said:
1T would not promote recovery and
bids well to intensity the depression.
AT best. its immediate effects
would be a spread Of employment at
the expense of efficiency and produc-
tive output.
In its long-run implications. the
measure offers to the workers Of the
country merely a choice between more
leisure and a more abundant con-
sumption Of goods and services"
Cutting the work week, the analysis
said, would lower industry's efficiency
by giving employment to workers less
skilled than those now on the job.
This, it said, would result In higher
prices-probably higher In proportion
than the increase in purchasing
power.
In the long run, the analysis found,
the legislation would reduce standards
of living. 1t said the white collar
worker, If exempt from the law, would
suffer reduced living standards with
out the benefits of more leisure.
As for the although the
farmer would not get any more
leisure, he would find himself con-
fronted with higher prices for all the
commodities he'has to purchase"

tioning since Mears was found critically

he had been in New York since he

as he lay wounded in the hallway of
the house. 1t had been fired once.

D. c. SUPPLY BILL
READY NEXT WEEK
Chairman Cannon Indicates
$780, 900 Lump Sum
May Be Proposed.

AS Congress convened today. Chair
man Cannon Of the House appropria-
tions subcommittee announced that
the 1896 District appropriation bill
would be in shape to report to the
House early next week.
The subcommittee, Cannon said,
had made marked progress in the last
few days, whipping the supply meas
ure into final form and he intended
to apply the finishing touches over the
week end.
Still maintaining strict secrecy as
to details of the bill. Cannon indi-
Gated, however, 1t probably would be
reported to the House with a provision
for a Federal lump-sum contribution
to District expenses Of IS. 900.
This Is the same amount appropriated
for the current fiscal year, from which
was deducted 10 per cent of P. w. A.
allotment. bringing the actual contri-
button under $4,000, 900. the lowest in
history.
Cannon explained the subcommit-
tee could not wait on the result OF
the tax study being made by Treasury
experts at the direction of President
Roosevelt before reporting the bill.
since it Is necessary to have 1t ready
as soon as possible because Of the
House program. This study. it is be-
lieved, will have strong influence in
determining the amount Of the Fed
eral obligation to the District, and
Cannon pointed out changes could be
made later in the subcommittee ig-
ure Of $500. 900 If the President rec
ommends an increase.
Reports from the Treasury indicate
the study will be completed some time
next week. This would enable the
Presidents recommendations TO reach
Congress before the House passes the
appropriation bill.
The independent ofices appropria-
ton bill will be the first supply meas
ure taken up by the House. Accord
ing to the present program, 1t will be
called up early next week, followed by
the District bill. Heretofore, the Dis
trict measure has been the last of the
annual supply bills considered by the
House, but it was given precedence
this year because the budget estimates
Of the Government departments were
late in being approved at the Budget
Bureau.

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Lawmakers Look to Elec-
ton Two Years Hence
With Roosevelt.
BY PAUL MALLON.


~ NE unmentionable thought
dominates the minds Of most
assembling congressman to-
~ day and will continue to
dominate them for the next
two years. 1t is that they must next
run for election at the same time as
President Roosevelt.
This is not as simple as it sounds.
You non-politically minded voters
may not realize it, but that one factor
probably will be the controlling in
fiuence in this and the next session Of
Congress. You cannot appreciate how
it is already worrying the legislators,
Republicans and Democrats alike.
To you, the next election may be
something to start thinking about a
year from now. To Congressman. 1t
is bread and butter and career,
things to be thought about always,
above everything else.
G. o. p. Problem More Difiacult.
You can see what effect it will have.
No Democratic Congressman can af-
ford to incur the displeasure Of the
head of the ticket. His fate is entirely
in Mr.. Roosevelt's hands. He must
cling to F.. DIS coat tails and rise or
fall with them No extraordinary in
telligence is needed to figure that out.
The problem Of the last guard Re-
publicans is more complicated. The
situations of good Senators like Bar
bour of New Jersey, Capper of Kansas
and even Couzens Of Michigan are
typical They must run on the ticket
against Roosevelt They will have to
be careful. They must not offend the
Roosevelt following in their States,
and yet must look out for themselves.

In view of the fact that the entire
House and one-third of the Senate will
face the electorate with Mr.. Roosevelt.
the President will dominate this Ses-
sion of Congress more completely than
he did the last one. That is. he GER
tainly will, unless he encounters a
banana peel. and none is in sight yet.
Except Bonus, Of Course.
1t does not follow that Congress will
do everything Mr.. Roosevelt wants ex-
actly the way he wants it. No Con-
gress could be expected to do that.
The boys will look out for them
selves with little political excursions
for the bonus, old-age pensions and

The incoming crop Of new Sen

average in appearance. If anything
they look little more intelligent
than the last crowd. They present a
fair cross-section of American life,
with the legal profession naturally
having predominant representation.
The general scene of the two houses,
however, is ridiculous. The Demo-
Gratis have nearly twice as many Sen
ators as they can comfortably accom-
modate The Republicans have
enough room on their side to bring in
half a dozen billiard tables. They
might as well do it, because no one

relates that Taft told him at Yale
that he was the only student lever to

The only sound effect missing for

watch the opening show.
The man Bilbo, who threatened to
make a dramatic Huey Long entrance

ter-of-fact biography about himself
for the Record and otherwise gave
promise of living up to what Missis-
