CONFEREES SEEK
SECURITY ACCORD
House and Senate Remain
Firm on Private Pen
sion Plans.
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

House and Senate conferees will lock
horns again within a day or two on the
one remaining issue in the admins
tration'S social security program-the
question of whether industries will be
allowed to remain out of the Govern
ment old-age insurance system if they
operate private retirement plans equal
to or more beneficial than the pro-
posed Federal plan.
After agreeing yesterday to all other
differences in the security program.
both branches Of Congress insisted on
their disagreement over the private
pension amendment, which was spon-
sored in the Senate by Senator Clark,
Democrat, of Missouri, and adopted
there by decisive vote.
The House took two votes on the
question yesterday. 1t first went on
record, 26S to Is, against accepting the
Senate amendment, and then voted
269 to IS to instruct the House con-
ferees not to accept it,
Senate Takes Similar Action.
Later in the afternoon the Senate
also voted. without roll call, to insist
on the Clark amendment, asked a
further conference and appointed the
same conferees. The Senate's request
was laid before the House today, where
conferees were reappointed in prepara-
ton for an early meeting.
1t is possible compromise proposals
will be suggested when the confer
ences are resumed. If that proves I'm
possible, one branch or the other will
have to yield before the social security
bill can be completed and sent to the
President. Whatever decision the
conferees reach will have to go before
the House ana Senate again for final
action
The Clark amendment was approved
in the Senate originally by vote Of
81 to IS, and its supporters there are
expected to make a fight against sur
render.

SALES TO
REACH NEW HIGH
FOR THIS YEAR
Will Exceed Thirty Billion
DOllars-Estinlate Was
Very Conservative

New York, Aug. IL = (U.P.)-
Retail sales for 1895 probably will
exceed 100000 900, a new de-
preston high, the National Retail
Dry Good Association estimated to-
day.
The estimate was considered con-
sentative and was based on 10 per
cent increase over last year.
Dun and Bradstreet reported last
weeks retail trade from IL to 40
per cent above the corresponding
period of 1894 and predicted extern
sion of gains. The Department of
Commerce reported rural trade for
the first half OF the year 20 IL per
cent above 1894.
Retail gains have surpassed trade
anticipations. Some districts report
the best gains in July for any July
since 1920. Wholesale markets ex-
pect the best autumn and holiday
season since 1928 and 1929.
Markets Crowded
Wholesale markets were crowded
with the largest number of buyers
in more than years.
Heavy rural demand was appar-
ent and mail order houses reported
the best business since 1880. Mont
gomery Ward and Company July
sales were PIT per cent above
those of year ago. Implement
makers reported substantial gains.
Standard Statistics Company esti-
mated farm income for 1895 at $8,-
850,000,000, a gain of 100000,
900 over 1894 and gain of $2.600.-
100000 over 1895.
In 1929 aggregate retail sales
were $4,000, 100000 in following
years the total dropped steadily,
reaching $25. 900, 900. 900 in 1898. A
Department of Commerce estimate
placed the 1894 total about Is per
cent above 1898, $4,000, 100000.
In estimatidg that 1896 would
show a 10 per cent further increase
the association considered the re-
cord number of buyers visiting the
New York market and attending
trade shows and merchants con-
.yentions.

WOMAN SEEKING
TO BE CITIZEN
AFTER 81 YEARS
Probably a Record for Any
COurt-Many Are After
First Papers

A record is believed to have been
established throughout the state to-
day when a woman applied for cit
izen lip papers at the local COM
mon pleas court after being resi-
dent of the United States for 81
years. She stated in her application
she had come to this country In
1874, when young girl.
Under the United States Natur-
alization laws, a woman did not
have to apply for citizenship papers
until 1922 the year that women
were permitted to vote. Under the
present laws, person must be is
years of age before being eligible
to receive first papers and Fl years
of age to receive second papers.
Many First Papers
Court officials stated today that
between 700 and 500 applications
for first papers had been received
here since last Monday thus es-
tablishing a record throughout the
state. The local office exhausted
it's application forms and had to
call on other offices in the state
for a fresh supply.
The rush for first papers follow
ed new story last Monday in the
Democrat that local industries
would follow the orders received
from the Naval department at
Washington that no aliens were to
be permitted to work on govern
ment projects or that no aliens
would be allowed to enter depart
ments where private contracts for
the government were being fulfill
ed.
The office here was busy all
morning as applicants filed in to
obtain applications for first papers.
Last week, the applicants formed
long lines into the corridors of the
court house as they waited to OBJ
tain their application blanks.

Sloan predicted, in statement
accompanying the financial report
for the first six months Of 1885,
that consumption Of motor cars
and trucks in the United States
this year would be 20 per cent OF
consumption in 1929, the industry's
record year. He commented, In
comparing that figure with an even
higher ratio Of consumption in the
world as a whole, that the United
States apparently has not pro-
crossed as far toward recovery as
other countries. s
I'm practically all countries
throughout the world, theu nderly-
ing, economic forces, striving for
recovery, are, at the moment, in
the ascendancy over the adverse
influences incident to political ac-
ton. 4
According to the current trend,
there is indicated consumption OF
motor cars and trucks for the year
1895, throughout the world al
large, excluding the United States,
equal to that of any previous year
in the history Of thei industry. Al

Merchants Look For
Retail Sales Boom
Good Fall Business Almost Universal Sentiment of
g.F National Retail Dry Goods Assn Check-Up

October and November with retl-
| istic optimism. On the average
they estimated that retail sales in
their communities for these three
months would show gains of 10
per cent to IL per cent over the
same months of 1894, and they
were practically unanimous in
their opinion that retail sales for
the country would show cores
ponding increases.
Commenting on reports, Chan
ming Z. Sweitzer, managing di-
rector of the N. r. D. G. A., de-
clared, Merchants seem general
ly of the opinion that the long,
steady upward march of retail
business since the Summer of
1898 will be continued this Fall.
If the present forecasts for re-
failing in the Fall of 1895 are in
any way realized, we shall exper-
fence the best Fall season since
1881, with beneficial effects on all
lines of business. I do not be-
lieve that merchants generally are
viewing Fall prospects with exces
sive hope. Further marked i'm
provement in business is from all
indications beyond the pale of fam
cicul conjecture"
Merchants in the West, Mid
West and South were the most en-
thusiastic over Fall prospects, but
hardly anywhere were they genu-
inely pessimistic. The assurance of
abundant crops was counted on to
boost retail sales in the farming
areas. other merchants saw bus
mess aided through the spending
of the Government Works pro-
gram and the activities Of the
Federal Housing Administration in
extending credit terms for mer-
chandise handled in retail stores.
Other merchants were cheered by
local developments, including de-
crease in unemployment and the
recent opening of new factories.
Generally they believed that in
creased income would create an
additional demand for higher
quality merchandise, particularly
in the medium price baskets,
OF those merchants who ex-
pressed any misgivings over bus
prospects, particularly all CENTER
ed them in the extended activities
of Congress. A leading Chicago
merchant, declining to be quoted,
said, II do not believe that any
substantial improvement can be
expected until such time as the
American people come to sane
realization of the continued and
harmful legislative program going
on in Washington" p. G. Winnett,
President, Bullock's, Los Angles,
declared his belief that Fall bus
mess would show marked i'm
provement this Fall IF Congress
will go home" but at the same
time looked for general come
back in spite of Washington"
William H. Hager, president Of the
Pennsylvania State Retailers as
ISOLATION, said: Bitter partisan
attacks by the politicians are
growing in volume, and radical OPP
position on the part of the big
public service corporations, against
the Roosevelt administration
helps to destrop public confidence
and Is bad for business"
A few of the merchants saw the
invalidation of the N. r. A. as
creating business uncertainty, but
more of them viewed It as re-
moval of artificial restraints and
a signal for business to go ahead.
