SHIP SUBSIDY
BILL AWAITS
CONGRESS
International News Service

Senate consideration of Mer-
chant Marine legislation this ses-
sion of Congress appeared likely
today with the announcement
that the Commerce and Post Of
flee Departments have agreed on
a direct subsidy bill.
Both Secretary of Commerce
Roper and w. w. Howes, acting
Postmaster General, predicted the
bill, "if properly administered" "
will cure all the ills of the Mer-
chant Marine. Presenting a Joint
statement to Senator Copeland
CD of New York, chairman of
the Senate Commerce Committee,
they said:
Many provisions of former
bills have been compromised.
each department having diverg-
ent views in some respects. How
ever, we feel the bill, if properly
administered. will work out
very satisfactory solution to the
Merchant Marine problems Of
the nation"
PROVISIONS OF BILL
The bill was reported to be a
compromise of features of the
Copeland measure, now before
the Senate, and the differences
of opinion regarding ship sub
sidy legislation in the two de-
partments.
Details of the measure have not
been made public, but it was
learned that it places construc-
tion and operation of ships on a
direct Federal subsidy, carries q
profit limitation clause, and
limits the salaries of executives
Of the shipping companies, operat-
ing under the subsidy.
Differential Payment
It also provides differential pay
ment of the cost of construction
of ships in American and for
eign shipyards and the differ
ence of cost of operation Of
American and foreign ships.
Existing mail contracts would
be Cancelled and placed on a
direct subsidy. The Government
would recapture profits above 10
per cent, which would later be
divided equally among the opera
tor and the Government. Execu-
tive salaries would be limited to
$4,000 a year.

TO REVISE
NRAUP AGAIN
|NC0NGRESS
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
International News Service

The issue of revising NRA in a
new form was thrust before Con-
gress today as a House Judiciary
subcommittee tentatively approved
a plan to control wages and hours
of industry through restrictions on
Government contracts.
The new plan, revising the
Walsh bill passed by the Senate
last session Just before the Su-
preme Court scuttled NRA, would
affect Government purchases
amounting to hundreds of mil
lions of dollars each year.
Approved by Perkins
Secretary of Labor Perkins has
approved the measure in its re-
viSed form. The bill may be laid
before President Roosevelt, who
last August requested congress
Sional committees to study means
of replacing NRA.
Representative Healey CD of
Massachusetts,. chairman of the Ju-
dietary subcommittee, announced
that extensive hearings will be
held. The Labor Department is
expected to urge enactment in the
present session.
The tentative program, em.
braced in a new bill introduced
by Healey, restricts the original
Walsh bill, which extended to all
emergency agencies, and went to
the source of materials supplied
to contractors.
Effect on Contracts
The bill requires all specifica-
tions for Government contracts
over $4,000 to contain a represen-
tation by the contractor that he
will not employ child or convict
labor and will conform to maxi
mum hours and minimum wage
schedules set by the Government.
Provisions of the original Walsh
bill, which required agencies max
ing grants or loans to require
adherence to NRA standards,
were eliminated.
Vast power would be conferred
upon Secretary of Labor Perkins
under the Healey bill. The De
partment Of Labor would enforce
the measure. which adopts uni
form state minimum wage acts,

ties between pickets and strike
breakers.
Scores Injured
At least so new arrests we're
made. Scores of persons were in
jured in various encounters.
Sporadic clashes between ely
ing squads" of strikers and armed
guards hired by apartment house
operators continued today to en-.
liven the strike in the Riverside
Drive-Central Park west area,
where hostilities first broke out.
Parties of strikers descended in
taxis on buildings, battled briefly
with guards and strike-breakers,
and sped away before police ar
rived. Favorite weapon of both
sides seemed to be 10-inch Sec
tions of lead pipe. Broken glass
and black eyes were common.
Most large buildings were in a
state of siege with all doors locked
except one, inside which were
stationed guards. At many build
ings elevators operated by srike-
breakers descended only as far as
the second floor in fear that
raiders might break into the lob
bies.
Recruits Plentiful
The landlords. caught off guard
when the walkout was staged Sun
day, had rallied their forces con
siderably by today and in hun
dredS Of instances were attempt
ing to maintain and restore ser
vices with emergency labor. Union
officials said many new strike
breaking employment agencies
had been established overnight
and recruits for jobs were appar
emily plentiful.
A large apartment house on
the West Side installed a set OF
strike breakers as soon as the
strike was called, but within a
few hours the emergency men
had walked out, too. as a. result
of an offer of more money in
Wall Street.
Park Avenue buildings were
especially hard hit. Swank. apart.
ment house doors were guarded
like speakeasy entrances in pro
hibition days and were opened
only for tenants or for persons
who could show credentials. In
many instances doormen and
other servants had laid aside
elaborate uniforms and gold
braid for inconspicuous plain
clothes.

groups for continuation on the
tuberculosis sanitorium at Thir-
teenth and Upshur Streets after
July / Of this year, explaining:
"The Committee has given
serious consideration to the
need for continuing the old
tuberculosis hospital after next
January, 1887, and approached
the matter in a somewhat fav.
Orable attitude.
SLAP AT DOCTORS
THE information which 1t
secured during the hearings,
however. made approval Of such
program unjuStifiable and
convinced the Committee that
the Presidents budget relating
thereto Is adequate and
proper"
Apparently as an aftermath of
the fight which Representative
Blanton had recently with the
local medical society, in which
the Texan charged that many
doctors on the District payrolls
are giving time to their private
practices at the expense of ig-
noring their public duties, the
Committee recommended a legis-
lative proposal to be included in
the bill reading as follows:
"NO part Of the funds apprO-
priated in this act shall be avail
able for the payment of the
salary Of any officer or EN-
plOye of the District of COlum-
bia whose salary as such officer
Is $2,4O0 or more per annum
who is engaged in any outside
business or profession in addi-
tioD to his official duties"
The budget recommendation of
$4,000 for the continuation of
the character education course in
the public schools also was elm
mated by the committee.
Basis of Fight
It was this matter which has
caused HouSe-Senate conference
fights for the past two years, with
Senator Royal S. Copeland CD
of New York having insisted that
this item be included, and Repre-
sentative Blanton demanding that
it be eliminated. AS a result, last
year a compromise was reached by
which the character education
program was continued but, at
Blanton's insistence the now
famous Red rider was attached to
the bill.
Seeking further to Justify its
action in so drastically curtailing
the Federal contribution, the COM
mittee report said:
with the existing low tax
rate of only $1.5O per S10O
upon a decreased assessment
value: with a gasoline tax Of
only 2 cents on the gallon:
