PARIS, June 10.-A possible split in
Frances new Socialist government i'm
periled Premier Leon Blum's proposal
for 4O-hour work week today.
The radical Socialist organ, Ere
Nouvelle, took a strong stand against
the governments measure to shorten
labors hours.
The 4O-hour week, Ere Nouvelle
said, would put production costs so
high France would lose all her for
eign markets. Additional unemploy-
ment will result, the organ predicted.
The newspapers criticism was one
of the first authoritative indications
of a vigorous fight when the Socialist
leaders bills are called for debate in
the Chamber of Deputies Thursday.
The labor proposals, which Blum
introduced yesterday, include. in ad-
dition to the 40-hour week. paid an
nual vacations, collective bargaining
contracts and restoration of some
Civil Service pension reductions.
As the parliamentary maneuvering
began. tens OF thousands OF striking
workers struggled back to their jobs.
Coal miners in northern fields, who
asserted it was better to strike and
starve than work and Starve.' reached
an agreement to pick up their tools
tomorrow.
Individual accordS were completed
in many industries, but new walkoutS
continued to break among groups not
covered by the worker employer agree
ment which the Government won
Monday to break the backbone of the
extensive folded arms strike.
Clerks in Paris insurance offices
went back to work after minor dis
order when a dozen young men tried
to smash their way into one COM
panys headquarters.
Full settlement of the labor strife
hinged on the outcome OF Blum s
legislative program as some OF the pro-
visions OF Mondays accord are con-
tingent upon their enactment into law
The premier pleaded for prompt ac-
ton in a personal appearance before
the chamber. declaring we are facing
circumstances in which every hour
counts
The deputies named a special COM
mittee of 33 members TO study the bills.
Arguments. heard against the 40
hour week are much the same as those
voiced in the limited States against the
Black 30-hour week bill and reduction
of hours under the national industrial
recovery act.
Some Leftist quarters urged the re-
ductiOn in hours be accompanied by
wage increases. not only in the rate
per-hour, but also in the total monthly
pay.
Opponents Of the proposal contended
( it Will place a terrific burden of higher
/ prices on the public and be disastrous
/ TO foreign trade. French goods are
already at a disadvantage because oi
currency irregularities. they asserted
and will nave to compete with goods
of other countries produced under nc
such labor restrictions.
The National Economic Council. q
Semi-official industrialists' organiza-
( ton. estimated the 40 hour week, il
applied only to public works. lnclud-
ing the railroads, would place an addi-
tional annual tax burden of 900 ,000.-
! 900 francs approximately $40 900 ,0O0J
on the public.

What Are They
Doing Without
Relief?
Case Histories of Families
Dropped From the Rolls
Presented by Star.

Following decision Of Congress to
appropriate only s350,000 in place
Of the $608, 900, for which the Com
missioners had asked, the District
relief authorities announced that all
"employable" persons would be
dropped from the local relief rolls
April /. This was done.
Since then there has been no
great public outcry for further re-
lief There have been no riots, no
disorder, no mass demonstrations.
Evictions have been few.
Was the relief demand overstated
by the relief authorities? Is the
public being lulled into false sense
Of security that all is well?
Some 4.l0O families have been
dropped from the local relief rolls.
A few have been given w. P. A.
employment. What are the others
doing? What are their circum-
stances? How will they get along?
At the request of the American
Association of Social Workers the
Public Assistance Division OF the
Board of Public Welfare and the
Family Service Association. a Com
munity Chest agency, have follow
ed up" 40 cases of persons dropped
from the relief rolls
The names OF these cases have
not been available to The Star, nor
has The Star made its own investi-

OF the agencies The Star will pre-

tenn was laid before the Federal Com
munications Commission today as it

dered by Congress.
A former Harvard instructor. DR..
N R. Danielian, who estimated in
testimony that corporations in which
two or more A. T & T directors
served had assets of more than S40.-
600 ,0000 900. was called again to the
stand.
Called yesterday by Samuel Becker.
special counsel in the S750000 in
vestigation. Danielian offered dozens
of charts and tables designed to show
that officers and directors of the tele-
phone company and its chief subsidi-
aries held key positions in the larg-
est banks, insurance companies and
railroads.
He testified these mutual officers"
could be the basis for friendly CO.
operation. and if need be. concerted
action in matters requiring the in
fiuence of power, industrial and flnan-
Clal interests"
Directorates Listed.
Danielian said % directors and Of
/ ficers of A. T. g. T, the parent COM
pany. also were officers or directors in
231 other corporations and partner
ships which had assets of more than
| $4,000 .OO0. 900.
A check of leaders in 35 associated

ated corporations. said to be controlled
| by A. T e. T showed. he said. that
they also were officers or directors
in l,468 corporations not engaged in
the telephone industry.
| The witness said it was impossible
| to compute the wealth of all of the
| corporations. but he estimated seeet'
at more than $4,000 O,00O.
The telephone industry, he said
was represented by four or more di-
rectors in General Electric, United

In answer to a question by Becker
the witness said contributions to civic

Of opening up new avenues of propa-
eating the Bell system of view, par
ticularly with respect to rate cases
and legislative problems"
An example listed in the charts
included report of 108 memberships

TO Maintain Policies.
Following the August enactment

proclamation which made effective

have now issued new proclamation
In order to meet the requirements Of
the new enactment.
"The policies announced by the Sec
retary Of State and myself at the time
Of and subsequent to the issuance Of
the original proclamation will be
maintained in effect. It is true that
the high moral duty I have urged
on our people Of restricting their ex-
ports Of essential war materials to
either belligerent to approximately the
normal peace-time basis has not been
the subject Of legislation. Neverthe-
less, it is clear to me that greatly to
exceed that basis, with the result Of
earning profits not possible during
peace. and especially with the result
Of giving actual assistance to the car
rying on of war, would serve to mag
nifty the very evil Of war which we
seek to prevent. This being my view,
I renew the appeal made last October
to the American people that they 50
conduct their trade with belligerent
nations that it connot be said that they
are seizing new opportunities for profit
or that by changing their peace time
trade they give aid to the continual
ton of war;"

Construction Of Central
= Crossing to Start This
~
Spring.

Plans are complete, it was announced
yesterday. for the construction Of the
central crossing of Washington Ca
thedral, and actual work Is scheduled
to begin this Spring.
The importance of the present pro-
gram is manifested in statement by
Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop
of Washington, to the effect that it
will add approximately 800 seats to
the existing facilities for the accom-
modation of congregations.
In terms of iconographical symbol
ism. the crossing signifies a sacred
portion of the cross. Architecturally,
1t represents the jointure of the tran
septs, the choir and the nave. The
location is directly under the central
tower.
Gift From Anonymous Donor.
A generous gift by an anonymous
donor has provided the major part of
the money needed for construction
costs, and the remainder of the total
sum has been assembled from many
small contributions and several un-
designated bequests. e.
Supporting the beautiful vaulting
which is the principal feature of the
crossing will be four majestic stone
piers, three of which are memorials
to Henry Vaughan, first architect of
the Cathedral; Henry White. late
Ambassador to France and American
delegate to the Conference of Ver-
sailles, and Charles C. Glover, one of
the original sponsors of the Cathe-
dral Foundation, who died last week.
The last pillar of the quartet is a
gift from DR.. William c. Rives, Ca
thedral trustee for life.
Lantern May Be Arranged
Many tons of hand wrought lime
stone will be used for the soaring and
vaulted fabric. A lantern. to admit
light from the lofty windows of the
central tower, may be arranged.
But whether that be the decision of
the architect or no, the result will
be notable and distinctive addition
to the Cathedral frame
Frohman, Robb and Little are re-
sponsible for the design. Their draw
ings have been approved by Very Rev.
G. c. F. Bratenahl, dean of the Ca
thedral and celebrated iconographist,
