By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Speaker Byrns was called upon to-
day by House Ways and Means Com
mittee Democrats in an attempt TO
break near-deadlock over the admin
istration's social security program.
His aid was asked as Representative
Lundeen, Farmer Labor, of Minnesota,
filed a petition attempting to force
consideration Of his old-age pension,
unemployment insurance bill.
Byrns conferred first with Chair
man Doughton of the Ways and
Means Committee and then went over
to the House ONCE Building to talk
with other committeeman.
It was reported that the commit
tee was in tangle over taxes involved
in the bill for compulsory, contributory
annuities and for unemployment in
surance. Some committeeman had ex-
pressed a desire to eliminate those
taxes from the bill or to reduce them
or postpone their effective date.
Schedule of Annuities.
The taxes for contributory annuities,
as the bill now stands, would begin at
per cent OF pay rolls on January /,
1887, and increase to 6 per cent by
1949. one-haf to be paid each by the
employer and employe.
In addition to that, however, the
bill would levy an additional tax on
pay rolls for unemployment insurance,
beginning at l per cent on January
/, 1885, and increasing to per cent
on January /, 1898.
Some committeeman have con-
tended that these taxes added to-
gether would be too heavy q burden
on industry in a time of depression.

WAGNER BILL HELD
WRONG IN SPIRIT
Illinois Manufacturer Sees
Enmity Caused Between
Employers and Employees.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
James L. Donnelly, vice president of
the Illinois Manufacturers Associa-
ton. opposing the Wagner labor dis
putes bill before the Senate Labor
Committee, today said the whole
spirit of the measure was ito make
enemies of employers and employees" !"
The bill would outlaw the company
dominated union, create a permanent
Labor Relations Board and give the
labor organization chosen by q ma
jority Of employees in a plant the right
to speak for all employees.
= Predication Scored.
"This bill, contrary to what Is the
fact, is predicated on the assumption
that the employer Is not the employees
best friend, but is the employees
enemy-is one who is not to be
trusted by the employe, even in mat
tiers where the employe has confidence
in his employer and desires to turn
to his employer for counsel, advice,
help or encouragement in this group
activities" Donnelly said.
THE obvious purpose Of this bill Is
to force the closed shop upon in
dustry with the aid of Government
compulsion.
Special Privileges Seen.
1.-The bill IS designed to confer spe-
cial privileges exclusively on one
group. The employer the unorganized
worker, the member of a minority
union or of a plant employe repre-
sentation group are given no protec-
ton.
This bill would place a premium
on strikes, nullify employees contracts,
destroy employe representation plans,
force the closed shop upon employers,
guarantee legal responsibility of la
Dor organizers, provide for gag rule
of industry, insure domination of la
Dor boards oy organized labor agents,
provide for star chamber proceedings
by labor boards and result in unlimited
inquiries and investigations by Gov
ernment agents and snoopers."

Lamb was asked for the report after
he had opposed the proposal for de-
Capitalization of the Traffic Bureau

rating system on which promotions
in the department are based.
Ratings given police officers by
captains, Lamb declared. are totally
disregarded by the central rating
board. composed Of inspectors. He said
the system was useless and should be
abolished.
Seth w. Richardson, former Assist
ant Attorney General and a recog-
nized authority on parole and proba-
ton laws, who followed Lamb on the
witness stand, charged that the recent
appointment of Frank r. Jelleff to
the District Parole Board was per
fectly ridiculous"
Not Half Time Job.
"Mr. Jelleff is one of the finest men
in Washington" said Richardson, but
he hasn't chance to function as a
parole officer unless he gives up his
business on F street and goes into the
parole business. It isn't half-time
job. 1t is full-time job"
Richardson stressed the necessity Of
a full-time, salaried parole board, and
described Washington as "city Of
influence"
A parole law for the District similar
to the Federal law was advocated by
Richardson.

reduce the tariff on lard. automobile
tires and tubes, and radios when the
Haitian financial condition improves.
Most Favored Nation Pact.
The treaty, another in the series
OF reciprocal pactS, is most-favored-
nation agreement.
In the Cuban-American trade pact
the duty on Cuban rum was cut from
IS to $3.50 per gallon and Cuba was
granted a 20 per cent preferential.
Because of reduction in the duty on
Haitian rum to $3.50, the rate on
Cuban rum thus becomes % per
gallon.
The State Department announced
the rum tariff reductions are con
sistent with the Roosevelt administra-
tion's policy Of combating bootleg
ging by facilitating liquor imports
and reducing the price to consumers.
Nearly 80 per cent of Haitian ex-
ports to this country are already on
the free list and. aside from rum,

The agreement must still be ap-
proved by the Haitian Congress and
will go into effect 80 days after it

What's What

Hoover Seeks Nominating
Veto Power, Democrats
Watch Douglas Attacks.
BY PAUL MALLON.


EVERAL of Mr.. Hoover's influ-
entail friends are ready to
come out for him for the Re-
~ publican presidential nomina-
ton any time he says the word.
At least two of them have told him so.
Yet the chances are 100 to l that he
never will say the word.
The way that situation Is diagnosed
authoritatively by the perty doctors
in their private consultations here is
this:
If the party should rise and ask for
Mr.. Hoover's nomination he would ac-
cept, but no one, including Mr.. Hoo
yer, expects that situation to develop.
His purpose in asserting his party
leadership now is to prevent his op-
ponents within the party from wrest-
ing control from him. He wants to
perpetuate certain basic money and
other principles which some Of his
opponents within the party would
just as soon. forget.
Wants Veto Power.
What he really wants, therefore, is
not the nomination. but veto power
over the nomination. At least this is
what the best private authorities con-
fidently believe he is working toward.

RIGHT TREATMENT
|NPR|SONS URGED
Justice Department Agent,
Addressing w. C. T. u, Sees
Community Protection Need.

Edgar NJ. Gerlach of the Justice
Department today called upon the
Women's Christian Temperance Union
in State convention at Dumbarton
NJ. E. Church to support the modern
philosophy of treating prisoners from
the point Of view of protection to the
community"
Pointing out that there were now
100000 prisoners locked up in State
and Federal prisons and reformatories,
the speaker said that under the clas-
sif1cation system now invoked in Fed
eral institutions, each prisoner is in
dividually studied to provide a basis
for his treatment for return to society
after release.
Liquor Seen One Factor.
Liquor. Gerlach said, was one factor
in the commitment of $1,000 prisoners
each year in the United States.
Members of the w. C. T. U. were
advised by Mrs. Arthur c. Watkins,
chairman of the Legislative Commit
tee. to become familiar with the Dis
trict liquor laws and regulations and
to report to the authorities any viola
tions which come to their attention.
She said repeal was brought about BY
the short memory of the old folks
and ignorance of the young"
Elimination of liquor advertising on

legislative chairman. but she re-

Runor dust stirred up on the inside
about new running mate for Mr.
Roosevelt has now settled. At least
the Roosevelt politicos are running
around with wet brooms trying to
settle it. The same ones who were
suggesting six months ago that Cac-
tus Jack Gamers preference for re-
tirement should be respected are now
whispering that he will be drafted for
reelection and will consent.
Too Many Want Job.
One reason they are so eager to
settle the matter is the fact that Gar
ner's expected retirement aroused the
ambitions of too many who want the
job. Apparently every Democratic
officeholder thought he should be the
vice presidential candidate.
Another rumor which the Roosevelt
broom wielders want to settle Is the
recent one that Senator La Toilette
might be the running mate.

AS things are working around now.
the convention is likely to develop
into a sharp contest among half a
dozen or more 'favorite sons" In
that case no one could predict the
nominee, but the Hoover influence
might be important in making the
final choice.
Douglas Says Sharp Things.
The country may not be paying
much attention to speeches recently
made by Lewis Douglas. but some Of
President Roosevelt's political aSso-
ciates have been. The ex-director of
the Roosevelt budget has been saying
some sharp things about New Deal
financial policies. The speech he last
made, at the University of PennSyl-
vania, was particularly pointed.
In that connection there has been
some quiet talk about the possibilities
of Mr. Douglas in political way. 1t
is known he has no personal ambi-
tionS.
But it some one OF his uieupoint
should press Mr.. Roosevelt from
conservative Democratic side, ,phile
Huey Long is cluwing from radi-
cal side, the friction might gen.
crate some real Uarmth in the
currently cool Democratic political
situation.
OF course. nothing can be done by
any New Deal opposition in the

election. two independent Democratic
candidates would at least make it in
