tention to the efforts which various
employers have been making to
work out some means of dealing
with various aspects of this peren-
NAL puzzle.
= One Of the specters of the worker
is irreguarity of employment, even
for the man who has a relatively
steady job. LayoffS haunt him-the
annual shutdown for two weeks or
four weeks or 10 weeks disrupts the
budget of the man whose weekly
wage is already so limited that even
the loss of a weeks work reduces
him to debt.
nNCE upon time men were
~ paid monthly. Then business
began paying weekly. And so the
tenure of the job is weekly. What
II industry could pay men an
nual wages? The executive fire.
quently has his yearly contract
and sometimes a contract running
for five years.
Is it possible for industry to pay
men yearly wages and give them
a pay check So weeks a year
whether the factory runs or not?
Well, one plant-and a large one
in the shoe industry has tried
this experiment for nearly year.
Here is the way the plan works:
The factory plans it's business
ahead for the year. 1t knows it's
capacity and it studies business
conditions and its trade carefully
enough to be able to say that ir
the coming year it will produce a
given number of shoes. 1t budgets
every part of the cost of making
that output. And among other
things it puts down a definite sum
as the wage element in the cost.
1T then makes a contract with its
n workers to pay out to them this
money. The wages of men in diff
ferent categories are calculated &C
cording to skill and responsibility.
But the wage, having been fixed,
is paid to the workers So times
throughout the year.
This industry in the past fire.
quently closed down at least four
weeks in the year. This meant 48
weeks work instead of So. Now
the workers get an assurance of
So weeks work at the same weekly
pay as formerly and whether the
plant is closed or not.
Moreover the contract calls for
adjustment of wages both up and
down according to prices of shoes.
The years plans are based on an
anticipated price. AS the price goes
up, the share of labor in the price
Is automatically augmented. If it
goes down, the share is automati-
cally reduced. Thus far prices have
risen and labor has been getting
the break. Here is one element
OF security made workable.

TR|-POWER PARLEY
REVEALED BY DUCE
Austria and Hungary to
Join in Conference in
Rome Soon. ..

fCosyrieht. 1896. by the Associated Press.)
ROME, March 3.-Premier Musso-
lini, presiding over meeting of his
Council of Ministers, declared anew
today Fascist defiance of League Of
Nations sanctions and praised the
United States neutrality policy as a
service to world peace.
nDuce announced the holding Of an
Italo- -Austro- Hungarian conference in
Rome March 18, 10 and 20; declared
Italy would not sign any naval accord
while sanctions were in effect and said
the italian people had reinforced still
further their political and moral re-
sistance to the state of siege under
League penalties.
Mussolini told his cabinet the forth
coming conference here with repre-
sentatives of Austria and Hungary
"will develop along the lines of the
Roman protocols. which in the first
two years of their life have had an in
dubitable effect of fortifying political
and economic relations between Buda-
DtSt, VlcIlIld dl1O ItOAIlC.
Danubian Problem.
He reported that 'an attempt has
developed in recent days to solve the
so-called Danubian question without
Italy, and therefore against Italy, was
brought up at Paris, but not by the
French government or approved by 1t,
and has already failed, as 1t could not
do otherwise.
1T is superfiuous to repeat that a
collective system in the Danubian
Basin cannot be effected without our
presence and cannot ignore our in
terests or those of states linked to
Italy"
The cabinet met amid anticipation
Of new League soundings for 1talo-
Ethiopian conciliation.
Popular jubilation over Marshal
Pietro Badoglio's military triumphs In
Ethiopia ushered in the meeting. The
tri-color fiuttered from virtually every
building. The press published columns
Of praise of the northern army's STRAIT
egy.
Atmosphere Clears.
The atmosphere contrasted sharply
to that of previous cabinet sessions,
when uncertainties as to the military
situation and threats of further
League war penalties created concern.
Now, Fascist sources indicated, no
proposal could be expected from the
League Council Committee which
Italy could take seriously in view OF
its recent East African victories
even though an oil embargo might
follow a failure of conciliation.
The informed Italian opinion was
that Emperor Halle Selassie must con.
cede far more territory than that al
ready occupied by the Fascist armies
to terminate the hostilities.
Marshal Badoglio was ready to
drive his forces still deeper into
Ethiopia, officials said. and would con-
tinue to advance until some circum-
stance-not yet foreseen in Rome
called halt to the war.
In accordance with this view,

GANG TAKES OVER
Take Place of Steam Shov-
els Idle by Strike at
Langston Project.

About 80 pick and shovel men were
at work on the $l,600,000 Langston
low-rent housing project today, de-
spite the fact that the two steam
shovels are idle because OF a strike
of their operators.
A formal inspection of the site at
Benning road and Twenty-second
street, scheduled for this afternoon,
had been called of early yesterday.
Secretary Ickes and Mrs. Roosevelt.
besides several members Of the spon-
soring Washington Committee on
Housing had conflicting engagements
and would have been unable to make
the trip.
Meanwhile, p. w. A. officials said
today they expected the steam shovels
would be in operation again in few
days. Work on the site was COM
menced last week.
The labor troubles arose a day or
so ago when the National Park Service
arranged with the project manager to
cart away the dirt from the excava-
ton at the Langston site. 1t was
needed for a w. P. A. Job under con-
struction close by.
The drivers of the w. p. A. trucks
were being paid the prevailing union
scale of wages, but were non-union
men. As result the steam shovelers'
union called its two operators off the
job, tying up the steam shovels.
Some of the buildings on the site
do not require deep excavations, p.
w. A. officials explained, and about
80 men are digging the foundations
for these by hand. Other arrange
ments will have to be made, how
ever, for the inspection trip.

REBELLION ONLY FORETASTE.

LOS ANGELES. March 3 (P).-Last
weeks militarist uprising in Japan was
only a foretaste of rebellions to follow.
B, w. Fleisher, publisher of the Japan
Advertiser, best-known of the Orient,s
English language newspapers, declared
today.
Fleisher said militarists in Toxic
will dominate japanese government
more strongly than ever, regardless of
the outcome of the current struggle.
%'The present revolt in Japan" he
declared. lis only another phase Of
the deep-seated movement that has
been underway and growing in in
tensity since the Manchurian incident
Of September 10, 1881.
&"Despite the efforts of the army au-
thorities to conceal the fact that the
army Is not unified, 1t has been all
too extent throughout these years
that factionalism existed, and insubor-
dination along with it. Manchuria
itself was in revolt"
Fleisher said that while the revolt
within the army supposedly Is con-
fined to dissatisfied young officers, 'it
has received encouragement within the
army and from the outside. Super
patriotic societies exist in abundance,
with their first plank loyalism to the
Emperor. All other planks, he said,
are anti-capitalistic and esocialistic.
These young officers and patriotic
society leaders are not seeking fascism
in the European sense Of the word"
the publisher declared. "They are
seeking military socialistic con-
troll. ." =

Vessels Are Saved in

Began Career Here.

The skill and courage Of two
American pilots, one Of them q former
Chevy Chase student aviator, IL
credited with having saved from pos
sible loss at sea and starvation crews
Of q number Of ice-locked ships In
the Gulf Of Chill, according to an
Associated Press dispatch from
Tientsin.
The two aviators, Arthur r. Kidder,
who started his flying career at
Washington Airport about four years
ago, and Richard w. Simons Of West
Plains, Mo-, located eight of eleven
vessels swept out to sea in ice noes
and dropped food to the marooned
crews. The ships had been trapped
in the ice two weeks.
Kidder and Simons made repeated
trips over the drifting ice, dropping
bags Of food on the ice alongside the
ships. .Kidder said the men of the
crews swarmed out of the boats to
pick up the bags. The flights were
made at considerable risk to the
flyers, since any difficulty might have
resulted in forced landing amid the
foes. with the possibility of breaking
through and sinking or of being
marooned as were the men they went
to aid.
The flights were made in a trans
port plane Of the China National
Aviation Corp, an airline in which
the Chinese government and Pan
American Always are partners.
Kidder, now stationed at Shanghai,
is the son of Arthur D. Kidder, IS
Hesketh street, Chevy Chase, Md, an
associate supervisor of surveys in the
General Land Office.
The aviator was born In Terre
Haute, Ind, coming here with his
parents some years ago. He was liv-
ing at 1873 West Woodbine street, Chevy
Chase, Md, when he began his flying
career as a pupil of Bill Payne at
Washington Airport. After prelimin-
ary flying instruction at Washington
Airport, Kidder went to Oakland, Calf,
